Actionscript3 :: Flash - Send Querystring Arguments And Parse XML Feed?
Apr 23, 2011
I need to call a REST web service that provides an XML feed of weather conditions. I have 13 cities for which conditions are needed, and only 3 nodes for each city are required (vs. the entire feed). My very basic first attempt is as follows:
[Code]...
First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.
I'm trying to parse a RSS which comes from a page to Flash. But Im having some trouble, I wonder if someone could with some input/hits/tips whatever to take out links to picture, texts and attributes from the RSS so I can make flash with dynamic pictures. I found two components but I cant make them work.[URL] Also this tutorial but it seems confusing. I can get on with some articles, tutorials or something.?[URL]
I'm rather new to Flash and AS3. I need to call a REST web service, passing it a location code and two arguments, and parse 3 nodes from the resulting XML.[code]...
I am trying to make a rss aggregator and I am stuck at the moment as I can seem to parse out the HTML info that is held in the certain sections of the rss document. Below I have posted my AS3 code as well as the rss doc info. How to parse out the HTML from the description and title of the rss feeds.
ActionScript Code: import fl.controls.UIScrollBar; var finalNote:String = "" trace( finalNote ); var urlVar:String = "rss_example.xml";// local XML file that loads by default reloadRSS();// function to initially load or reload the feed [Code] .....

Could some one please advise me on how to parse out the HTML from the description and title of the rss feeds.[code]
I'm trying to parse an RSS feed from a Mobileme gallery, but keep getting the following error.
[Code]...
If I copy the xml and save it locally, it loads just fine. I only get this error when loading from the URL. I checked the xml and all of the openeing and closing link tags are there.
I am trying to parse a RSS feed and load the data into separate labels.
For example i want to pick up all the title values within each item of the RSS feed and place that in a designated label.
I am parsing the feed correctly but i am having trouble trying to load the data into the label's, i've tried using the below but the same Title value is entered for 9 out of the 10 labels[code]...
I have been working on a Flex application that sends a feed from my webcam to the Flash Media server. The application connects to the server fine but for some reason the camera is not sending anything to the Media Server. I am pretty sure that the answer to my question is really simple but I need another set of eyes to llok at my code and tell me what I am doing wrong.
I need to grab values from the querystring and inject them into a getURL(""); snippet that's in the on (release) {} for a button.So if the URL that contains the embedded swf is
[URL]
I'd like to get that otherdomain.com and inject it. Something like
var returnUrl = ""; // do magic querystring getting getURL(returnUrl);
*Edit: I need to snag the querystring because I don't have access to the embed code. It's being rendered by a third party (Articulate) and loaded into a frame. I do have access to the code that renders the frame html, which is why I figured query string would be the best route, and one button that's used in the presentation.
Note, I live in C# land, not ActionScript land so I most likely butchered the syntax. I just need to get this button working as a one off and I'll probably never deal with it again.BTW, I've seen the abdulqabiz QueryString object that's floating around out there but it kind of seems like overkill, like there should be something baked into the framework for this. I also lack the knowledge of how to incorporate this into my little button on (release) {} event
This is driving me nuts... Based on my research I should be able to pass QueryString parameters directly to a swf object like so: [URL] In the mxml oncreationcomplete method I have tried the following:
I have a client that needs a flash intro that will be accessed through a link in an email campaign. When the user clicks the link in their email, it sends them to this flash intro, but also sends a querystring with it. I need the flash file (v5) to read the querystring, use it during the movie, and then pass it on to an asp page when the intro is done playing.What is the best method to do this?
I have a flash slideshow on my homepage which displays news by a xml file underand I am using slideshowpro for it. That slideshow xml file path must be set within adobe flash program.What I need in here, when a language is changed from language selector at header, News must be set as selected language respectively. My question is how to get querystring value and pass it to adobe flash so it is changed and set according to the selected language.
var flashvars = { var params = { bgcolor: "#000000", allowfullscreen: "true", wmode:"transparent", var attributes = {} swfobject.embedSWF("swf/slideshowpro.swf", "flashcontent", "550", "400", "10.0.0", false,
I am trying to create a SWC library for use in my Flash AIR project. I have created a seperate FLA called SceneLibrary and followed the steps defined here:[URL]..to create a new SWC component. I saved the created SWC into a lib folder within my Flash Dev project, I then right click on the SWC item in my project window and choose "Add to Library" This all seems to go fine.
In my code i then go import FirstScene (this is auto completed by Flash Dev) It seems a bit weird to me that the path to this class would simply be
I made a simple project which you paste XML into a TextField and and uses this. It works great however it doesn't keep the original structure which wasn't much of a problem until i recently noticed if i load or copy and paste XML which contain comments like:
<min>0.0</min> <max>255.0</max>
In the TextField it turns to this:
<min>0.0</min> // <max>255.0</max>
Which creates problems as from what i can tell it would then run lines of code it should not. I would prefer if it kept the same text structure as the loading/copy and paste method seems to adjust it for some reason.can you keep the exact same XML text structure with working comments? when the XML is in the TextField it removes this part:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
why does it remove that rather than keeping the text exactly the same? and can i make it keep that or would i have to manually append that text again?
Having some problems adding the default spark.components.VScrollBar scrollbar. All I'm doing is creating a new VScrollBar, setting it's coordinates, a width and height and doing an addChild but it's not showing up. I'm adding other components too that do show up in the same code so that shouldn't not be the problem.What might I be missing?
var a:VScrollBar = new VScrollBar(); a.x = 100; a.y = 100;[code].....
i want to have the music always playing and the ability to mute different parts. It is for a project where you click on different people and they come to life to play music. a stop and play would not have them in snyc. I have not been using action script long
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(); my_sound.load(new URLRequest("triumphant.mp3" ) ); function setMute(vol){ var sTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);
I have a piece of XML that goes out and grabs data. That data is being updated every so often. I want the user to be able to see the updated data by creating a way to reload it every x amount of time.
How do I use the timer to do this in Actionscript 3?
I have some actionscript that plays a movie clip. When the movie clip is over I want Javascript to remove the Flash object from the page. I can't seem to get it working. When I test the actionscript in Flash I don't get any compilation errors, and my Traces all execute when I expect. I also don't get any javascript errors thought the RemoveFlash() function never gets called.
I've been wondering if it's possible to change the backend of the LLVM implementation from ARM to something else for instance C or C++? Currently Adobe uses a Actionscript3 frontend (which I can't currently find - closed source?) for the LLVM to produce iOS applications. I'm wondering why there isn't more options for other backends? Of course there are limitations to going this route, no loading of external swf files at runtime (to name just one), but the iOS applications seem to manage really well with this feat. I did find this pdf which talks about the AS3 LLVM frontend, but no guidance to where the code is or how to investigate... I just think it's a missed opportunity that Adobe are missing and wondered how much work it would be to do such a feat?
I've been working for a month on a flash game, which should be manageable to play in a browser (light computation). This being said, I've noticed that in some browsers the game runs at what looks like 15 fps (the game should run in 80fps). This has been known to happen in IE9, and the quick fix was to add this line to the top of the html: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=9"> This was a quick-fix that forces IE into compatibility mode and greatly improved the fps (to about... 60, let's say). Still, I believe that the game is running slower than it should in every browser, which is evident when the html version is compared to the swf.
I'm looking to send a list of variables (say 6 in total) from php to flash and for flash to pick a random one and send it back to php when clicking a button.
I would like it to appear in a dynamic text box. That randomly selected variable needs to be sent back to php on pressing a button.
