I have a large flash project and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle it. I want to load in an XML file of groups and their members, and a bunch of attributes related to each group and its respective members - but these groups and members are only displayed on screen after a user clicks on their parent groups. My first thought was to just pull in the XML for the whole tree of groups and users, then assign movie clips for the groups, and attach properties related to their display and how the user will interact with them - but if they may never appear on screen, is it pointless to do this? How do I best structure this project? Build an object and attach properties only to the object, then add display data only on click?
View 2 RepliesI was experimenting and finally got my "scrolling picture" test going. That is, a picture that can be scrolled around. I used the ScrollPane, also set the ScrollDrag to TRUE so you can drag the picture around, but no matter what I do, I can't get the Horizontal Scroll Bar, without the drag, people will no be able to scroll left to right and vise-versa. How can I include or make the Horizontal Scroll Bar to work / show? Also, is the a way to set the starting position of the picture ? For example, the initial display set to the center of the picture.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) {
thisframe =+1
}

but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.
I have a MovieClip inside a ScrollPane. Inside this MovieClip i have buttons. What i want to know is: how to click a button inside a Movie Clip, that is inside a scrollpane, and make it load a swf outside the scrollpane?

Everything works just fine, except for the last msg gets only half displayed as if the scrollpane wouldn't scroll to the end.
I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..
I recently used the loadMovie action to load a .swf file to a target in the movie which it was being called from. Then I tried calling a picture to another target in the movie, but it did not load the picture as intended. I read about it on my book, but it didn't seem to work. Is there anyways on calling a picture into a target in the movie without placing the picture inside an swf file?
View 7 RepliesI have just been to a really nice website that has some really nice use of Flash on it.... I'm totally wowed by the resizing picture effect though? When each picture loads the loading frame resizes to the new picture size.

View 2 RepliesI made a simple picture slideshow with a timer, prev/next buttons, pause/play buttons and jump buttons. Everything went good so far.Now i'm trying make every picture go to a URL when the picture is clicked but only the link on the first frame goes to the URL when clicked the other 5 buttons do nothing when click.(FYI: I made alpha 0% buttons in a layer above pictures)I tried two different codes but both have no effect.

Is it possible for an SWF to detect the name of the folder that it resides in at runtime? And then pass that folder name as a variable to a function? If this is possible, would someone point me in the right direction as to how to do it?
View 8 RepliesI have 2 swfs. Swf #1 loads swf #2. Swf #2 has actionscript code that always makes that swf centered no matter how large screen you are viewing the swf in. When I call swf #2 into swf #1, swf #2 takes up the entire window of swf #1 when I only want it to take up a certain size.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if its possible to load a AS2 swf into a AS3 swf, and then have the AS2 swf load other AS2 swfs onto different levels (e.g. _level1, _level2, ect...). I'm trying to wrap an preexisting AS2 swf that manages the loading of several other AS3 swfs onto levels, with a AS3 swf.

Was this done in Flash, or does it also require Javascript, or any other additional software/programming?

View 3 RepliesI have created a NetConnection to a Coldfusion component and the responder is tracing the fact that I have some data being returned.
My question is: How do I access the data that is contained within the responder?The coldfusion component is returning a recordset and with actionscript 3, I have no idea how to get to the data contained within the reposnse.
Have a swf that I am making (call it "contents") that gets loaded into another swf (call it "container") [pre-existing from someone else].How do I, from inside the Contents file I am making, address and execute a function from the Container movie?I know how to go from the container to the content file, but don't know the syntax the other way.Thought something like this should work but doesn't seem to:
Code:
if(this.parent.parent!= null){
var parentLevel:Object = this.parent.parent as Object;

This is a simple page I am trying to add a .swf to, with a small custom made js function I slapped up. With chrome the swf is pushed up and out of the navigator window and is missing the top half.
I have tried this quick and dirty approach to detect browser and set the proper background values for each browser:
var browser = BrowserDetect.browser;
var height = '';
var width = '';
switch (browser){
[Code].....
For the movie size in the embed tag: I have tried percents, I have tried pixels, quite a few different combinations. There is always at least one browser that chokes no matter how I set it. Right now it is chrome that chokes. Does anyone knowing the trick to these parameters mind clueing me in on a proper efficient method to integrate a .swf?
Maybe the outer html code is not properly structured and causes this? I am not specialised integration, I am mostly a back-ender, tried a few solutions online but this custom .js that sets values for <nosript> is the only way I managed to get this close to working crossbrowser.
My question basically, what are the clean efficient ways used by integrators to integrate swf cross browser, and is my approach workable if I set proper values?
I want to know if is possibile through regularexpression, count the numbers contained into a string and add a specified character near it.
For exemple, this is a string: Hello2all821abc13 This string contain 3 numbers: 2, 821 and 13 (note that the numbers contained into 821 and 13 are considered like an unique entity, not signle). I want to add near each of it the "-" symbol. Is it possible?

View 1 RepliesSo, I have the following layering situation
Stage
--moveclip1
--movieclip2
----movieclip3
------movieclip4
I was wondering if it was possible for movieclip4 to be on top of movieclip1, even though movieclip1 is (and must remain) in a layer on top of movieclip2. This should happen when movieclip3 is being clicked (and movieclip4 shows up).
I tried adding this to the mouseclick event of movieclip4:
Code:
this.parent.parent.addChild(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
(I tried with and without "parent", and with different numbers of "parents"... cause I kind of lose counts of the parents there).
but... it doesn't work.
I am trying to close a movie clip that I loaded from the library to the main stage using the flowing code....
navhelp_btn.onRelease = function() { attachMovie("navhelp", "holder_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:195, _y:135});}
The navhelp_btn is located on the main stage and the navhelp movie is in the library and gets loaded to an emty mc on the main stage holder_mc. I want to close the navhelp movie using a close button that I created and is housed in the navhelp movie.
I am currently working on an educational project. After submitting for review, the clients have requested I make an array which was hard coded in the as file, to read from xml. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to populate the array with the information contained in the xml file.
hard coded in the as file
wordList = ("Paper,Plastic,Reduce,Retrieve,Litter,Trash,Glass,Recycle").split(",");
I am wantying to replace the word lists that are included with the information in the xml file so as to allow different users to create different words for the list without having to edit anything othere than the xml file.
Is there a way to hide various classes from appearing in code hints while using a compiled SWC?We are trying to create a SWC that can hide classes unnecessary/hidden to third party developers. There is only one class they need to reach, however that class reaches out to so many others. We tried namespaces on our classes but that doesnt work. It only works on methods, variables and properties.Not sure if there is some metadata available to hide those classes from auto complete. That would be sweet.
