I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

I'm coding a website in pure AS3 using FlashDevelop and have an object that loads an XML file on init. Is there a good way to make my main function wait until it has finished loading? I know about onComplete events and how to use them internally in the object but I'm not sure how to proceed.
View 1 RepliesI'm sending through a socket from java to flex client some data and the flex side can't seem to handle it right. In the java i'm looping over 8 objects and for each object I create a long string 1:lsls:2:3:justexample then the java does writeToSocket("1:lsls:2:3:justexample") for every iteration of the loop. But in the client side, it seems that only 2 out of the 8 arrived. what can be the problem?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a scrollbar gallery from a tutorial on this site. Though I've completed the tutorial, and customised the gallery to my own needs, however I'm trying to make a very small change to it - and no matter what I do, keep running into problems. I'm trying to replace the rectangular handle with my own customised handle - a (20 x 20) 'circular' png image that I've imported into Flash, made a graphic and stored in the library (though I understand it can be imported using actionscript, like the other images in the gallery).

I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].
I have bought Learning AS 3.0 (O'Reilly) but I have been having difficulty getting one of the tutorials to run. The tutorial shows how to record data from a microphone to a byte array, playback the saved data and save as a WAV file. For some reason, I can't get this working. When the swf runs, the Flash Settings screen doesn't pop up to request permission to access the microphone but I can still trace properties such as gain.
I've uploaded a zip containing all the classes and an FLA - just use RecordMicrophone_Example.as file as the document class. Here is the problematic area of the code:

I have No problems inserting data from flash to PHP into MySQL,it's sendind them back properlly.All I'd like to see happen is for one row of data to be inserted into a dynamic text field. here's what i've got if i access this php file, it prints out a vertical list from
a single MySQL row,I was happy.
$query = "select row from table";
$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))[code]...
and Instead of the vertical list (which i would love to see)i get an unparsed data array.
My data grid is displaying stale data, rather than the real time data available in it's data provider (array collection). I've tried refeshing the data in the collection, but that has no effect. Below is my code, does anyone see what could be the problem?

Let's say you have the following xml document. Now how do I access the name thumb here is my loop. Also I want to store the value in an array but I don't want the xml tags to be stored in there as well. How do I get rid of the xml tags with assigning the data to an array.

View 2 Replieslimits to number of SWFs that can establish local connection on MAC? The architecture is: One Manager ("server") and N number of other SWFs that communicate with the manager.When I embed more than 8 SWFs (manager + more than 7 dependents) and attempt to establish connection between them - only first 7 dependent swfs are capable to communicate with the manager on MAC (both Safary and FF). The rest are ignored. It doesn't seem to be an issue on PC where I went up to 20 and it worked (with some quirks of course). Is it a native behavior on MAC?
I did not check if number of connections is at stake (as opposed to number of swfs). There are 14 connections all together when 7 dependents are involved.

I have around 400 sounds in my flash file.Is there anyway to go about using them with having to instantiate them all.I will be storing them in an array.
var sound1:Sound = snd1;

I already have linkages in the library as sound1,soundN,etc
How would one go about this ?say you have a number of input text fields. and ppl feed their orders in.
big mac = 5
mc chicken = 2
lg coke = 0
fillet of fish = 0
cookies = 0
sunday = 2
then once they are done it shows thier order..... without all the menu items.
big mac = 5
mc chicken = 2
sunday = 2
To do this I was going to attempt to have an if statement for each item.if there was an item ordered a dynamic text box would be created at _x _y...... then add 10 to _x. (to move the next one down the stage)
if there was no item ordered a dynamic text box would not created.then the next item would be created further down the page as _x was increased with the last menu item created.
What is the reason Flash Builder 4's Network Monitor does not support applications that were created using pure ActionScript and Library projects? It seems to work only for Flex projects.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to make many movieclips change the same way, off the same line of code.. rather than having to write them all out seperatly?

I'm a game developer and I have been (trying) to optimize an engine I'm making for my game. So far I have done almost every code trick there is (almost, because I'm not even close to be a professional programmer so I don't know how to do this perfectly )The game is working very smoothly now, I'm impressed, but its still generating some issues with MovieClips. When I load a new map, it loads up a movieclip that contains all the ingame objects (Screen). Inside, I add all the enemies, player and map elements I need. After that, I sort the index of the objects inside it by their position on Y.
While this works fine (using vector), my problem is that each map has like 30-40 movieclips (like doors, walls, etc), plus the player (another movieclip), plus some objects (20-30 movieclips), plus some enemies (10-40) movieclips... and when I move the camera (following the player), all the flash window area needs to refresh, and generates lag. If I only have the doors, walls and player, it runs ok... but when I start adding the enemies and other objects... Is there any efficient way to work with movieclips? Notice 90% of map elements like doors and walls are a movieclip with only one frame.
I have made a for loop that makes lots of squares by making a fresh graphics object for each square:[code]Is there a better way to do it as this seems to cause massive slowdown as the game gets larger.Like if I use something from the library, I can just reuse it without making it every time (like = new telephone() ).Its like it reuses the image in each instance of the object.But is it possible to reuse in this way with shapes?
View 3 RepliesOnly recently have I understood that onEnterFrame creates a continuously-running program that runs at the same framerate as the movie (until you call a "delete enterFrame). So, if I have a bunch of these running at the same time will I see a big speed drop? I'm a bit leery about using onEnterFrame because of this. Are there any alternatives to this method? I haven't been able to find any (short of putting onClipEvent handlers on movie clips).

View 1 RepliesWe have made a simple button class that extends MovieClip, the purpose of which is to allow animated switching between lots of states. So far so good. Then we extended the simple button again to allow for a text field and resizing hit area. Still all good. Finally we extend our label button into an application specific type that alters the button's background image in a certain way. Everything seems pretty simple, right?
Now for the problem: it doesn't perform any gotoAndPlay actions.It should be jumping to labeled frames, the traces of the target labels come out correct, but the playhead never moves. Looking at the application using De Monster, it seems that each instance of the button is missing all the properties and methods of a MovieClip.I realise that this is all a bit vague without showing any code,what might cause the debugger to report a lack of properties or why gotoAndPlay might be blocked
