I feel like this should be really easy, but I don't get what I need to do.I have a value bgW[j] stored in "j" equaling a number.But I can't seem to get it to register as a number.What commonly needs to happen to convert this value into a numeric datatype?I've tried a bunch of stuff: eval, parseInt, multiplying it by 1.
View 2 RepliesI have this code inside my flash to name my navigation menu. Now I want to put this outside flash and load it via XML. How do save my different arrays into a variable for later use in my code?
In my nav fla (what i want to load from XML):
Code:
// MAIN MENU ARRAY
var mm_array:Array = ["MAIN1", "MAIN2", "MAIN3", "MAIN4"];
// SUB MENU ARRAY
[Code]...
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'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 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 1 RepliesI have an mc.instance name is Twentysecond it has a text box called label When clicked Twentysecond populates a text box and I want to use this code Flash will not let me use an instance name of 22nd.
TwentySecond.label = _name;//(I want this to show 22)
onRelease = function(){
myTextBox = _name; // (I want this to show 22nd

I should know how to do this, but memory is failing.

View 1 RepliesI just started using AS3, I'm trying to do is pipe xml data to flash to be stylized in a text field, then save as transparent png. Right now I have a problem; when I run the script with this.addChild(this); it takes a snap of only the first entry, and only the first entry to output. If I leave that out, it sends all 750 entries to the output screen, and it parses the xml like it should (w/ out the text clear at the end, it applies all 750 entries filter styles to the one textfield). So I'm assuming everything is working right with parsing the xml, and it's just getting hung up. I'm assuming I have this setup all wrong, but it's the only way I could get it to work... this.addChild(this); just seems wrong, but it's the only way I could snag root, and write it.
Here's my code (I don't need this all proper for use on a website or anything, just to run a few times to batch out some xmls).
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.text.TextField;
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code] .....
There's no code implemented for saving the bitmap data to png. I'm using cs3 right now, so no FileReference.save() feature. I plan on finishing it on a buddies box w/ cs5. On a side note - Would it be possible to compile this with flashdevelop to get this feature? I've never used it...
Here's an example of my xml:
<game titlem="filenameoutput"></game>
<namem desc="name description"></namem>
<manu manufact="manufacturer"></manu>
<year yearmade="19xx"></year>
Probably not the best, but the best I could manipulate the source file w/ regular expressions and sed, and still have it work with the xml tutorial I was referencing. I can try again if it needs to be setup differently. Is it possible in as3 to create a gradient that has one color on top and one on the bottom? I've always failed miserably creating these in previous versions, so I didn't even try.
So I'm importing this file called tbox.txt and in that file it has a variable, num, which equals 3. Now when I run the debug window, it comes back as num = "3". So its a string. so I do num=num-0 to make it a number instead of a string. And it doesn't work so I do a trace on num and it comes back as undefined.... which is what I dont understand, how can it be "3" and undefined at the same time.

View 2 RepliesI get this out put (each row is a different element) and I don't know how to convert it in to a readable value.
it should be number with 9-10 digits. from what I have seen in other sites regarding this specific data (this is the value of the tempo in a midi file) - it looks something like this: "tempo is 06 96 27 (in hexa format)"
these values are ByteArray type. how do I convert them to the readable numbers (or perhaps they contain text)?

View 2 RepliesI have the job of recreating a flex app in HTML and CSS. The existing app makes considerable use of TextFlow to layout content. For several reasons I need to be quite accurate (within a few pixels) with positioning.

Ideally I'm looking for a library I can use to translate these many attributes into "proper" html and css. The current technology stack is PHP at the back end and javascript at the front end, but there would be little problem in using any other language to do the translation.
Failing that I guess I'll try and write my own, using the api reference as a guide.
I am developing a mobile project in Flash builder using flex 4.5. I am very new to flex, with some background in Obj-C.urrent Setup:I am passing the text property of a text input component to a second view via navigator.pushview{view.Someview, data}public function doSomething():void{navigator.pushView(Session_View, timeInput.text);This successfully passes the text I put into the textinput to the Session_View instance and I can display that text in a label in the mxml; however, I would like to take the text passed and convert it to an integer to use in my logic.Within Action Script I have tried parseInt() function with no luck.I have also tried to assign data to a variable in actionscript with no luck.

I have a flex webapp that retrieves some names & addresses from a database. Project works fine but I'd like to make it faster. Instead of making a call to the database for each name request, I could pre-load all names into an array & filter the array when the user makes a request. Before I go down this route though I wanted to check if it is even feasible to have an application w/ 50,000 or 1 million elements in an array? What is the limit b/f it slows down the app? (I anticipate that it will have a lot to do w/ what else is going on in my app but for this sake lets just assume the app ONLY consists of this huge array).

View 9 RepliesI got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]
