I have ben trying to figure out how to make slideshow that will recognize how many pictures are specified in the XML document length and repeat when it reaches the end of the list. I have not been able to wrap my head around it and although I have seen somewhat similar posts here, My hope is to make a slideshow that others can update by editing the XML document only.
View 3 Replieshow 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])
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.
View 2 Repliesi have a slideshow with a delay of for example 3 seconds, and a preloader which is a line with a 100px final length.i start preloading next image.now if the time until next image loads is longer than slideshow delay, i will show next image as soon as it loads.if the time until next image loads is shorter that than slideshow delay, i want to wait additional time until delay and then show the image.the problem is how do i represent smooth line width grow (being enter frame or tween) by calculating/comparing 2 values together (delay and loader percent, which goes from 0 - 100) ?if my line growth represent just a slideshow delay, then when it gets to an end, if next image still hasnt loaded, then it wont look good if line has come to an end, but i still have to wait.
View 4 Repliesi have a list of mc's being placed using addChild() on the stage depending on the amount of entry's in a database... this works fine. then when i need to refresh that list i'm having a problem where they're either not completely refreshing, or only the top 10 is being refreshed etc...

I have text from an XML file that dynamically loads into a scrollpane.
The text appears in the scroll pane, and scrolls just fine --- but it doesn't show the full length of the dynamic XML text.
How can I make the length of a dynamic text area VARIABLE --- so that it expands to fill the length of the XML document?

Googling and trying, I've found: Variables identifiers cant begin with numbers and can only contain letters, numbers and the _ character. I was wondering if there is a length restriction.
View 7 RepliesIs it possible to wrap a variable-length-arguments function in Actionscript?[code]but it didn't work since sprintf was called with just 1 extra argument, i.e. the Array args.
View 2 RepliesThis is my first time posting to a forum as I have been unable to find the solution to this problem. I am receiving an array from a php script in this manner[code]...
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.
I am trying to get the length of arrays within an array, here is my example (MX 2004):

I get an output of of 3. the number of variables within the first array, this is not what I had expedted.
I've migrated from AS1 to AS3, and boy, a lot has changed... Anyhow, to learn and understand AS3, I'm modifying a slideshow I found through thetechlabs. I want it to play SWF as well as JPG. These files are passed through an XML file. I added an element called <delaytime> to the XML file that replaces the standard time a photo is shown in the slideshow.
I modified the onSlideFadeIn() function as follows:
function onSlideFadeIn():void { slideTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide); slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time); slideTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide); if(bolPlaying && !slideTimer.running) slideTimer.start();}
However, when I run it, I get this error message:
## [Tweener] Error: [object Sprite] raised an error while executing the 'onComplete'handler. TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at slideshow_fla::MainTimeline/onSlideFadeIn()at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweenByIndex()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweens()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/onEnterFrame()
It stops at the first picture of my slideshow. When I push the 'next' button it displays the next pic, but I get the same error message again.When I comment out this line:
slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time);
the slideshow runs OK, but without the delaytime specified in the XML file.

I am trying to use the class Sound of actionscript.My code is really basic :
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest("mysound.mp3"));

The audio is playing very well but in my trace, I get 0 instead of the length in milliseconds of the Sound.
I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
i have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.
View 1 Repliesf you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I have an 11 minute video (.MOV) that I want to convert to an FLV. The file is about 29GB. I first tried to convert it using the CS3 Video Encoder but only the first 5:00 were converted. I tried this a few times with different settings but got the same results. Then I switched to Cleaner but again, only about 5:00 was converted. The length is not exactly the same but close enough for me to think that there might be a 5:00 limit to how long an FLV can be. Or is there a limit to the size of MOV the encoding process will handle?
View 1 RepliesI have 10 dynamic text fields inside a movieclip, which are populated via an XML file.However, the xml file sometimes has less than 10 items. It never has more than 10. This results in the following error, which is normal. I need the code to count the amount of items in the XML file and then create a for-each loop. I can visualize it, but I don't know how to write it.Basically what I need the code below transformed in to is this... (notice the #'s)

Each line in the dynamic textbox has 15 characters, and yet you can notice the difference in the length(between each line).
I want to make the length of each line look same if they have same number of charaters.
I am trying to find out what the max length is for a string because since as3 doesnt provide any methods for removing characters from a string by changing the initial string itself, i am going to have to stick to re-initializing.I did a little test to see how long it would take for my program to break using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
+[code]..............
The program crashed at a string length of about 500 million.
EDIT:however before it crashed,it performed the incrementations with reasonable performance.
EDIT EDIT: which is strange since my ram still had over 2 gig the program didnt use

View 1 RepliesI am using as2 to stream some mp3s. At the moment I have an attribute within the xml for giving me the length.I guess the length for the mp3s is buried in the mmp3 file somewhere. If I load the files in totally first, then I can get at the info (ID3 is it?) however, this doesn't work for streaming them . Or rather, I can't make it work! (I have found posts which suggest making an estimate if you know how much has downloaded in so many seconds and you know the length etc etc - but this is exactly that - an estimate!)So my question is how do I get the length of an mp3 clip that I am going to stream?
