How would I sort a bunch of XML nodes? I don't necessarily need to change the existing structure, but I do need to iterate through in a specific order. In AS2 I would use the childNodes array and use Array.sort.

View 3 RepliesI need help with page "Thumbs" (as first frame), page "List" (as second frame) and Image gallery (as third and base). So, every frame have one own XML file...When you choose some thumb or list line, you must came to this image in the gallery. Easy, sure.. but i don't know what Function exactly i need to use.It's one flash move, hence it doesn't work with getURL or loadMovie...Some exemple with 3 separate pages here: yuri.fr
View 1 RepliesI develop a piece of code that brings me to an xml, all Nodes i use this code:
for(var i=0; i< menu_xml.childNodes.length; i++){
corrent_node = menu_xml.childNodes[i].length;corrent_item.action = corrent_node.attributes.action;corrent_item.variables = corrent_node.attributes.variables;corrent_item.name.text = corrent_node.attributes.name;

What I need is for each of the nodes highlighted in green to return the child Nodes. Example: when I move the mouse over the menu Indoor lighting, the results should be: Indoorlighting | LED 10W> 3W LED> LED 6W
For those unfamiliar with tree structures, tree structures are usually dynamic lists where every node has a pointer to two other nodes. They are arranged so it makes for faster searching and stuff and are very useful in programming languages that offer direct access to heap memory. Although I don't know if there would be benefits of making tree structures in AS would be of any help but I decided to have a go at it anyway. Since there are no pointers in flash I tried to just replace pointers to nodes with nodes themselves. Such things usually work in java I think because the language just automatically makes pointers for variables.

I have an array that is structured like so.
[Code]....
Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?
Here is a website that needs a sort function to sort the video by Last name. [URL] I would like to have a link that popped up videos sorted by last name. Please take a look at the following site for an example. [URL] When you click on seconds in the menu below, it opens a pop-up window that sort the videos in a certain way. If you are willing to,I will give you the source file of what it currently has on [URL]
View 1 RepliesWhen I get a collection back from the service tier, I create an ArrayCollection and apply a sort. When I add an item to the collection later on, the sort is still in place? It seems to be the case. I thought I was only sorting it once, not applying a sort that will stick??Here is the method for adding an item:
private function onAddNewClick():void
{
var fileTemplate:FileTemplateDetailDTO = new FileTemplateDetailDTO();

I need to take a bunch of movieclips from the stage and dynamically store them all together in a separate swf on my computer. Is that possible? how do i do it??
View 2 RepliesSo what im planning to do is load a whole bunch of images at once. Flash doesnt know how many images it will load though, so this is what im thinking..
PHP Code:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
var urlreq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]" + i + ".jpg");
l.load(urlreq);
if (AN ERROR HAPPENS meaning the url is invalid){
//Stop and continue with operations
} else {
//Do stuff with the loader and image
}
How would I check to see if the loader has an invalid url?
I have a bunch of objects that are dragable. You click and hold the mouse button to drag them around, then release the mouse button to put them back down. The problem is that when an object is dragged so that another object is between it and the mouse cursor, and the mouse button is released, the object gets stuck to the cursor. Clicking and releasing the mouse button is the only way to drop the object. Is there any way to fix this? Or, better yet, is there a way to make it so an object is immediatelly moved in front of every other object when it's clicked on?

3 play button links that need to show a movie. (i was thinking of just using gotoandstop and having three frames at the end of the timeline for these movies, but if theres a way to just have the flv start playing ontop of the current frame on release that would be better.and the last thing is just some links to external urls from buttons made of ads and what not within the magazine.now i know how to make all these work by themselves but when i add the code for all these nothing works.i'll attach the .fla as well as an .swf.
I'm tasked with creating a site that runs full-screen video in the background at all time. I have it set up in XML in "batches" of 10-second clips that correspond to navigation sections. Currently the video just selects a random clip out of that batch once the current video has stopped playing, so it gets a random chain of videos.Of course, when it gets onto the crappy server, my framerate plummets (first disappointment) and i get a little pause in between clips (second disappointment). What I'd like to do is start loading the videos once you get to the site and hope that they're cached by the time they come up. My first thought is to put those batches into shuffled arrays rather than pulling them randomly at load, so I can at least have a predictable order.

View 2 RepliesI used a sample of macromedia to get a XML file with the names to the swf files i want to import in the stage. That works (for now). But now i also want to at a link (using getURL();) to the movieclip where the swf file is placed.

I'm basically trying to make a bunch of particles jump around. I've used the draw tools to draw a small red puff. When you click the puff shoots up from the cursor a few pixels before falling down.
how to call the information from this .as file in another file. This way I will take out the click functionality from the file I have done and have the puffs shoot out automatically at the mouseX and mouseY coordinates.
I eventually want to have these puffs shoot out from a character as it runs across the screen in a game I have planned. It will make it much easier to have these puffs called from a seperate file I believe.
Here is the code I have so far:

I have the alphabet in a background picture, and when I click on the letter, the letter sound is played. Simple enough. I have all 28 letters in seperate mp3 files. I can embed the 28 files into the swf. I want to use add the sound files to a vector, and then just play the appropiate sound based on the location that the user clicked.
My question is what is the best way to load all these sound files.
I could do something like this:
var sndVector:Vector.<Sound> = new sndVector.<Sound>().
sndVector.push( new "name of class assigned to sound 1"() );
sndVector.push( new "name of class assigned to sound 2"() );
....
sndVector.push( new "name of class assigned to sound 2"() );
I am kind of lazy, so I don't want to do that. I could load the files at runtime, from a server, or my hard drive, by I would like to keep all the files embeded in the swf file if I can.
Ideally I would like to just throw all my sound files into the library, NOT assign them class names. (because I am lazy again), and then access them anyway form actionscript and push them onto the vector.
I got a tiny problem here. I want to get a bunch of words from a database and then put them in an array in Flash. The array and database works, but the getting-the-words-in-it does not. Here's what I got[code]...
As you can see I got a counter, and a bunch of words. Now I would like to put those words in that array, by means of push(e.target.data.word%), in a for loop ran by the counter. Pretty easy, but I can't come up with a good idea to format word[i]. Then I can just use it as an index.
I need to load a bunch of images using a for loop looping through xml. This will be called over and over for various groups of images. Memory management is a major concern. In the for loop I create a loader
ActionScript Code:
var thumb_loader:Loader = new Loader();
var thumbContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
thumb_loader.load (new URLRequest (panelViewer [categoryPanels [indexCategoryPanels][i]].@pathName));
// set the thumb node from xml
thumb_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, thumbLoaded);
thumbContainer.addChild(thumb_loader);
I also add the thumb loader as a child now in the init handler
ActionScript Code:
function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void {
//when all thumbs are loaded I set them alpha to 0 and then to 1, for a nice effect
var thumbTarget:Object = e.target.content;
thumbTarget.alpha = 0;
Tweener.addTween(thumbTarget, { time:1, alpha:1, transition:"easeOutSine"} );
}
The issue I have I keep adding sprites and loaders and this keeps sucking resources this is for an air app that has to run for several days cycling through hundreds of images. How to keep my resources low and load a group of images delete the loaders and then on the next cycle delete the previous group.
I'm working on a for-fun project where I have a bunch of letters, in a row, that are jumbled. What is supposed to happen is that if you press one of the letters, then press another, and it is supposed to tween the two of them to the others position. For some reason though, the tween doesn't seem to be working (Since there are about 12 or 13 letters, I was planning on temporarily placing the two to be tweened into an array, and then tween them via the array)
Here is my ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent
import flash.geom.Point
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var tempPoint:Point = new Point(0,0);

Is there any way to combine a bunch of F4V's into a SWC or SWF and then load them via actionscript? I tried FZip with a bunch of F4V's, but when I get to loader.loadBytes(), it comes back with an error -
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Essentially, I just want to collect all of my media into a single external file that I can then pull stuff from - pngs and videos - preferably keeping the video in F4V/H.264, but not necessarily required.
