I am searching for a super basic example of loading xml into a couple of textfields. Everything I find is way more complex, looping through huge lists and adding children etc. I have 2 named textfields on stage headline_txt and body_txt. I want to set up an xml file that has 2 items, 1 for each textfield and AS3 to load and display them.
View 10 RepliesIs it possible to call a method in the super class of a super class? I tried the above and it doesn't work, unsurprisingly. Only way I've been able to do it is to store a reference to a super.someMethod in the super Class (eg. var superMethod: Function = super.someMethod) and call that instead. Seems reasonable and it works but wonder if there is an in-built method for doing this?

I was told that super.super.someMethod() works just like it does in Java. But I keep getting Compiler errors:1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before super.Any suggestions other than just cutting and pasting the code and extending the AutoComplete superClass?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a basic flash script to load an external swf file using MovieClipLoader class. Here's my code:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("splash.swf",5);
I simply copied it from a tutorial. Unfortunately it throws an error message as follows:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MovieClipLoader
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method.
PS: I have CS3 professional in my machine but I am following Flash 8 book. But my CS3 application supports AS1, 2 and 3.
I want to load the same external textfile in two different textfields. No problem. My freaky question is: Can I adapt the text a little in one of the two fields, more specifically: leave out the last three symbols/letters? For instance: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive >>> and: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive The only trick I can think of is embedding the font, but not embedding the > sign. Is that possible? I am using Verdana here.
View 6 RepliesI have made some changes to kirupa's thumbnail gallery, so instead of loading thumbnails into the scroller, I'd like it to load TextInput from a Node in the XML.
what I've come up with so far (simplified):
Code:
function numbering_fn(k) {
numbers_mc.createTextField("t"+k, numbers_mc.getNextHighestDepth(),20*k, 0,10,10);
numbers_mc.t[k].text = numbering[k] ;
[Code]....
in my understanding, since the loadXML function is still looping, it should create an empty TextField and then assign a .text Value to it.
Aparently it creates the required number of empty TextFields, but the "numbers_mc.t[k].text = "whatever Text";" -bite doesn't do the trick...

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to output some text inside a dynamic textfield that is a child of 3 MCs, but nothing happends. When the textfield is placed in the root timeline it works just fine.
I'm using PHPObject, and as I said it works fine in the root timeline, but not in the MC called "fade".
The textfield is called mini and is placed inside minifeed -> slide -> fade My question is how i output text to mini inside all those MCs. minifeed.slide.fade.mini.text = result does not seem to work.
Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
#include "PHPObject.as"
_global.defaultGatewayUrl = "http://localhost/uknowit/phpobject/Gateway.php";
_global.defaultGatewayKey = "secret";

I am trying to create a timer to fade in a dynamic textbox that is a dfferent size depending on the button. This is kind of complicated so if you got lost I am going to say it again a bit simplerly.I have three buttons, and when you click each a box moves to the correct size.I am trying to get a textbox that will fade in once the box has moved, proably about 3 seconds, and have the textbox a different size depending on the button.When another button is clicked, it should fade out, and then the box should move.You should understand what I'm trying to do when you look at the FLA. By the way, the textbox is going to have dynamic content from either a mysql or xml database.
View 3 RepliesOk so I'm working on a project at my job and things are going very well. The Flash application is 100% dynamic from text to text field colors, to panel colors, etc..The back end runs off of ASP in case you're curious.
Now we are up to the part where we have to load images into a panel. The images are uploaded by the user and the names are stored in a database. The panel should load 6 images at a time, 3 rows 2 columns.
Our ASP programmers aren't 100% sure on how they should be sending me the images. I started toying around with some code, assuming I have an image count which they will provide.
[Code]...
So as of now I have 6 panels going across my movie, which is fine, but now I need to columnize them into 3 rows 2 columns. So that's my concern as of now. Later on I will need to figure out how to say "if there are 6+ images have next and previous buttons to load the next ones". So if anyone has any good links on that it would be cool.
There is no property with the name 'super'.

I tried clearing the ASO files a thousand times, restart flash, resave the Vector.as file and still nothing.
I'm trying to make a CustomLoader class that extends another class.In the contructor of my CustomLoader, i need to call super(myLoader:Loader) where myLoader is a Loader object. Problem is I need to listen to the complete event of the loader before passing it or i'll get an "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference". but if i put super() in a handler function i get an "Error 1007: A super statement can be used only inside class instance constructors."
Here's part of my code:

On page [URL] .Lee Brimelow does an article on Flash and Xml describing how to a build a Flash slideshow using xml. I already have slideshows on my Granddaughters website but what I did not like was I had no option to have a text description or not. It was all or nothing with "defined" appearing if no text was added. What is does have however are a dynamic text box that gives the number of photos available and tells you also the number you are on. Also after clicking on the first button you can then use you keyboard to work the buttons. [URL] I have tried everything I can think of to get these two options working on Lee's but I am stumped. I just want my grandaughters pages to be the best they can be.I am using Flash 8 Pro

View 2 RepliesI want to end up with the following effect. Bitmap pencil quickly moves accross the canvas diagonally and reveals an image. The image itself is drawing so I kinda want to make the illusion that the pencil draws whatever is on it. I don't want the pencil to follow the actual line in the image just to ask like a mask and quickly reveal the picture. So I was wondering if there is any cleverer way to achieve this, instead of animating everything manually

Thats the schematic of my the specific area of my program thats causing me trouble. In output i get "C Called" only. I'm guessing that on the return of the super() call to A() then it jumps back to C(), but id expect that the call stack could handle multiple super calls.
