Actionscript 3.0 :: XML Lists Being Pulled Alternately?
Sep 25, 2009
I've successfully (finally) been able to pull imagery from an external XML list and display it on stage and even add it to be pulled randomly. What I'm hoping to be able to do, is after the first image comes in, using a mask bring another on top of it with a vertical blinds effect.And alternate back and forth with this technique. My thought process is two XML lists being pulled alternately? (I'm probably WAY off.) I've seen a couple templates out there, but 1. I'm a financially strapped programmer and 2. I wouldn't learn anything that way anyways.
ps. I might include the code that I have thus far in a little bit.It's nothing more than a modified version of an XML slideshow from another tutorial site.

I have this code: btn_nav.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, navPop);function navPop (e:MouseEvent):void{themIn = new Tween (btn_them,"alpha" ,None.easeOut,0,1,10,false);}I need to set up a conditional adding / removing this btn alternately on click - just not really sure how to approach that.

On my website, I want my user to be able to launch video 2 at any point in the middle of video 1 without waiting or refreshing the window. How can I buffer the two videos such that I buffer video 1 enough to let it start playing, and then buffer just enough of video 2 that if the user launches it at any point, he does not have to wait to view its first few seconds, and then I can come back and buffer the rest of video 1? If this is not possible, I could also look at buffering video 1 and 2 in parallel while playing only video 1.

I am trying to have 3 image holders that will constantly dissolve between 2 images. (different images in each holder). And that I could change the images and the delay of the dissolve via XML. I have managed to create a basic 1 holder that will dissolve images which are being pulled via XML. (through a great tutorial). But I can't break it down to 3 holder.

Here's my listBox code for a listBox called myList (pretty basic):
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
[Code].....
In addition to the text label (to the left of it, actually), I'd like to have a square icon (an image thumbnail) with each row in the list.

I have made a very simple xml menu, from opensource codes, that loads a description with each image. This is very good sure, but I really need several descriptive fields (ex. fabric, style #, and size), and on seperate lines, that is, in seperate text fields.
So my question is: How do I add three descriptive fields to be pulled (via xml) into my flash document?
Here is the source code I am using:
Code:
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {

I have a directory of PDF's that I am loading the names of dynamically using PHP: My PHP file looks like this:
[Code]...
Now the code works perfect and it displays the name of all the pdf's but I want to somehow make a button on top of each displayed pdf that makes it clickable. The code is already storing the name of the PDF's so it should be pretty easy to do a getURL("pdfname","blank") or whatever I just don't know where to start. Here is the SWF output: [URL]

I was trying to produce an output of an array mixed up and limit the number. how that is done. Now need to incorporate into a quiz application which pulls in data via, XML, displays that, and shows the number of questions. So if 50 questions are in the XML file 50 questions will be displayed in the quiz. What I am trying to do is use the XML file as a question pool and randomly select say 30 questions out of the file to display. no luck so far, but I am making progress!

I've got a problem displaying a hyperlink pulled in from an xml file. This is my AS:
Code:

xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("app1_text.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlProcess);
function xmlProcess(e:Event):void {

All the other text displays fine, but the hyperlink text doesn't display at all - and I'm not getting any errors.

I wanted to make a visulisation based on sound, like a winamp plug in.The only thing that even remotely looks like it uses sound information is the sound players on FlashKit. (although they might be faking it)url...Is there any information that can be pulled from a currently playing sound in Flash to base a animation off ?

How do you make a List control wrap around to a second column (or multiple columns)? let me know if there is a solution for this with the List control or some other Flex control.
For example, if you have one list with 42 items in it, but I want to cap the height of a list to 20 items; then instead of having one list with 42 items all the way down, I would have that list of items look like the equivalent of 3 adjacent lists: the first with 20 items, the second with 20 items, and the third with 2 items (which represent the original list of 42 items).

What I have are basically two lists.
(using this one as an example)
Bear = 5
Cat = 3
Dog = 1
Bird = 2
And I have two corresponding arrays
Array1 = [5, 3, 1, 2]
Array2 = [Bear, Cat, Dog, Bird]
How can you reorder this by number? I know that you can use Array.sort, but how would I still be able to tie the name to the number? Like, if you use the sort method, it will give you [1, 2, 3, 5], but the other array would still be [Bear, Cat, Dog, Bird]. How could I make it so it ends up being [1, 2, 3, 5] and [Dog, Bird, Cat, Bear]? I was thinking of making something like [[Bear, 5], [Cat, 3], [Dog, 1], [Bird, 2]], but I'm pretty much stuck after that...

It was not for the want of trying, but I just don't think I knew where to look or what to search under, which brings me to asking the good people here. I'll try and keep it short and to the point...
I need 5 ComboBoxes/DropDown-lists/whatevers which are Item, Colour, Height, Width and Price.
And once the user has selected an item from each dropdown, and presses a button, this will generate a URL in a new window. Something like this:
[URL]
The second part of my 'question' is: Is there a way to, if the user chooses Item#1, then in the Colour list, 3 particular colours are there, but if the user chooses Item#2, then there a different set of colours to choose from?

way to create a mailing list form for the website I'm making for a model. I've looked over a number of things and I'm not finding anything that can do just what I need without alot of peripheral knowledge of PHP, Perl, etc. or being way more complex than I even need.All I'm basically looking for is a construct where there will be 3 text fields that the user can type their info into. ( name,address, e-mail ) Then there will be a send or clear button for them to obviously either change or send the data. All I'd like is for the info to be sent to an e-mail address we specify where we can retrieve it later and use it for a mailing list. I know there are a few ways this can be done. I'm just not sure if it would be better to have it be as described above - or if since I want it sent to an e-mail address, make the data into an e-mail. I've used Flash for a few years but mostly for graphics, animations and the navigational aspects of sites. I have basic scripting skills, so for me this is fun new ground, as I'd like to get better at creating the code for some user interactivity.

I am looking to replicate the way the music tracks are presented on this website:[URL].. I'd like to create something somewhat similar, in which I can simply type out the name of each track and then have the small Play/Pause button icon. Are there any templates that are packaged with Flash CS4 for something like this? Otherwise, if you could point me in the right direction as to how it is constructed and/or a tutorial for creating. - But is the text that lists the tracks done in HTML? If so, then this is pretty simple really.

I'm building fairly simple item renderers, in fact, here's the code for one of them...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer"
[Code].....
It's a really simple renderer that has an image and some text sitting next to it, or just the text if no image is in that item's data provider. There is also some basic rollover, rollout and click functionality...
So my question: Why is it that if my list needs to scroll it gets messed up? By "messed up" I mean that the text changes from being to the right of the image (when image is present) to moving over top of the image, as if it isn't realizing that the image is there. There's also sometimes an issue of the item renderer shrinking down so there is no longer anything even visible in the box (just some black with a grey border on the bottom about 5 - 10 pixels big...
I'm wondering if maybe my item renderer is too complex? I'm having the same issue with text working like that in another renderer, but no images, just text placed in certain positions (as well as some strage blue tints showing up at the top or bottom depending on how I am scrolling)
By the way... here is the MXML where I am initializing my list...
Code:
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" id="list">
<mx:List
width="100%"

Ive been searching everywhere to try and find a way to add a bit more styling to my htmlText fields, apparently the flash developers really half-*****ed the abilities of html and especially css.my biggest complaint would be with the unordered lists, the giant, ugly, black bullets. these things would break all but the worst designs and stand out like a sore thumb in every use I could find.

Code:
var myArrow:ArrowMovieClip = new ArrowMovieClip();
var vectorDisplayObject:DisplayObject = stage.addChild( myArrow );
I used the code above to create an instance of an arrow graphic that I made using the line tool (the graphic is embedded in a movie clip). I now want to add different colored fills and different stroke sizes and colors using code. Is it possible to do this with pre-drawn vector graphic objects, or is it only doable if I create the arrow with code using things like lineTo and curveTo?

I've got a Flex 3 website. Unfortunately, Google Webmaster Tools lists zero keywords for my site. My site's been up for about a month. I submitted a sitemap. I've put a description and keywords metatags in the HTML wrapper.Any advise on what else I should do? Does anyone have a Flex 3 site for which Google Webmaster Tools lists keywords?
