I have a text box on my stage in Flash cs3 with a width of say 300px.The text box is populated with text/data from a flashvars variable in my HTML. If the text in my flashvars is too long (over 300px in length) it will be cut off when placed inside my text box in the embedded swf. Is there any sort of 'dynamic' solution to this?
View 3 Repliesdo anyone know how to script the dynamic text length to the amount of text in the text file instead of manually drag it to the length?
Code:
myLoadVars_lv = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
[code].....
How do I set the width of the array and length and set each of the values in it to the same number. This is for a game I am working on. I know you use for loops to find the x and y of the values... This doesn't work, but think its how it suppose to work.
Code:
_global.ymap = 4;
_global.xmap = 4;
for (y=0; y<_global.ymap; y++) {
for (x=0; x<_global.xmap; x++) {
_global.map[y][x] = 1;
}} trace(_global.map[4][4]);
How we can lessen the length of Dividing bar between two components. like in this example i want the length only of two pixel.

Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.
The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for using FlashVars and URL variables.I have placed the code directly from the Help file into the Html between
<noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting undefined.I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8.
How can I get the length of the amount of data that a php script has pushed as a result of a loadvariables?

I am creating a nav in flex that pulls in buttons dynamically from xml. THe problem i am having is setting the button width to the text width. currently the buttons are all the same width and if the text is larger then it just cuts off. I've tried a few ways of doing this:Setting button width to 100%On creation of the button try to set the width of the button to the text programmatically. Something like evt.target.width = evt.target.textWidth;
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash file containing a floor plan over my office. I want visitors to be able to locate the room for a specific person by clicking on the room nr.In my HTML-code I give the FlashVars a value equal to the chosen person's room number like this:
<param name="FlashVars" value="roomNr=G207" />
Then I have the script in my Flash file where I first declare a variable fetching the value from my FlashVars:
myRoom = roomNr;
After that I have the code to produce a different color to a movieclip, thus indicating which room it is:
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
var myCT:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
myCT.rgb = 0x009900;
I have made a movieclip for each room and named their instances like the values that will be passed when selecting a room.For instance: G207, F106E, U123 and so on. let the instance name of a movieclip be the value from my FlashVars which I declared earlier. I wrote the next line:
myRoom.transform.colorTransform = myCT;
BUT... this will not work. I have tried two things to understand the problem:
1. I put a dynamic text field on stage, naming it and assigning its text to be the value from FlashVars:
testTextField.text = roomNr;
And it works perfect. It gets the correct value and writes it out on stage.
2. I tried to hard code the myRoom variable to be equal to G207 (myRoom = G207; ), and that works fine as well.WHY won't it recognise my FlashVars value as an instance name of a movieClip?
I am dealing with the HTML page where my flash movie is embedded.
So I have a JavaScript function called getURLVar() that returns a string (a variable passed in the HTML page by the URL). That part works.
What I want to do is call that JavaScript function so I can pass its results into the flashVars property where you embed your .swf.
The following does not work
<embed src="MainPage.swf" flashVars="myFlashVar=<script language="'Javascript'>getURLVar()</script>" quality="high" menu="false" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="800" height="600" name="test" align="middle"
[Code]...

View 1 RepliesI'm modifying someone's old AS 2 Flash application and I need to pass numeric data in as a string OR have a properly formatted USD currency string in the end.
Currently, I might pass something like Data1=$34,000.00&Data2=$12,344.18&etc...
in via FlashVars. Assuming I show Data1 in a dynamic input field, I'd get something like "$34,0"
I'm not too concerned whether this is a super clean, proper solution or a functional hack-like solution with this application. It's needed, but only for a short time.
I'm currently trying to create a function that will increase the size of a text field whenever the text in it goes below the text field's current height. The function will happen whenever my text box's text is changed.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to adapt for Android Tablet a multi-sequence Flash application widely using "loadmovie" and"unloadmovie" instructions.Each of these sequences are independent Flash files that were generated as swf files for load and unload.But building an application for Android is quite different, since it is based upon apk files.So, how "loadmovie" mechanism can be implemented in this environment ?
View 1 RepliesLet's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
how to do this
function foo(x:*, ...args):* {
}
function bar(x:*, ...args):* {[code].....
how to expand args ? when I call bar(1,2,3), I wish it call foo(1,2,3), but it call foo(1,[2,3])
I have a component where I expose the property 'questions' with the following code:
private var _questions:ArrayCollection;
private var questionsChanged:Boolean;
[Bindable("questionsChanged")]
[Code]....
In this component, I use commitProperties() to implement my logic.
I use Cairngorm and the 'questions' is in the model and hence it's defined as a source for data binding.
When the 'questions' ArrayCollection's size changes elsewhere in the application, it is not invoking the setter method in the component that is destination for the data binding.
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.
