Calling A Style From An XML Through Flash
May 20, 2009
I want my Flash button to call a URL from an XML that then opens up a AJAX window (like lightbox or multibox) over the page.So the user clicks on Flash and a AJAX pop up appears.I've set up the popups, I'm using facebox (which is really nice).They way the do this is by creating an ID DIV like below:[code]now I have a Flash that can call to XML and get a URL...The problem is when I put "#world1div" in the url portion of the XML, it doesn't work.How do I call this ID from XML?

I'm putting together a little application that has a simpe paint bucket functionality. I'm having a small problem, i'm sure it's an easy fix, but frankly I'm not much of a programmer.
Essentially what I have is a set of color swatches that users can select, and then a grid of movie clips with a series of frames, each corresponding to a swatch color. Over that, I have a grid of clear buttons that check to see which swatch is selected and then tell the movieclip underneath to go to the frame that corresponds to the right color. What I want to do is just set up the function once and call it for each movie clip, rather than repeating the function for each cell in my 6x7 grid.

I'm building an RPG game and need help with the dialogue. I have no idea how to go about it. What I want to set up is something that after approaching a character and pressing spacebar (or any key), text displays with an image to the left of the character speaking. I've tried looking up tutorials but they all seem to be for CS3 (I am using Flash 8).
I currently have no code whatsoever to share, since...I don't know where to start =/ . Source codes would be appreciated, but most of all, I'd love a link to a tutorial or past thread that explains in detail (and layman terms...) how to do something like this, since I want to learn as I go.

I'm trying to customise lists to make them a bit cool-looking in my flash movie. However, I cannot get them to change - when I click on Cell Renderer Skins, no more further skins are shown so that I can customise them. I also tried things like:
list1.setStyle ("alternatingRowColours", [0xb03060, 0xffc0cb]);list1.setStyle ("rowHeight","100");list1.setStyle ("textAlign","center");list1.setStyle ("color", 0x000000);list1.setStyle ("selectionColour", "black");list1.setStyle ("themeColour", "black");
but cannot get them to work - list remains the same. Is there some bug in Flash CS5?

I'm loading the XML into a text field as htmlText. The StyleSheet class in Flash only supports a subset of CSS1 which debuted in 1996! and doesn't support list-style-type or list-style-image. I'd specifically like to substitute an image instead of the default disc for an unordered list. If you've had success implementing a work-around, I'd love to hear about it!

I've a assets swc file that contains several TLFTextField objects, each one with it's style (font, color, size).
I use the following code to set a link:
var text_tf : TLFTextField;
var url : String = "www.stackoverflow.com";
text_tf.htmlText = "<a href='http://" + url + "' target='_blank'>"+url+"</a>";
This works as expected, but it changes the color of the text to blue;
What's the easiest way to configure the color of the text, without having to recreate all the TLF mechanism (ContainerController, Configuration, TextLayoutFormat, TextFlow, ParagraphElement, LinkElement, SpanElement, ...);
I was expecting something like this to work:
text_tf.textFlow.linkNormalFormat = { color:0x00ffFF, textDecoration:TextDecoration.NONE };
text_tf.textFlow.linkHoverFormat = { color:0x00ffFF, textDecoration:TextDecoration.NONE };

[URL]..The first menu on the page is a good example of what I'm asking about.One major addition to this style/functionality... each link needs to be added via XML (for flash vars) and it needs a scroll bar for when the amount of links exceed the height of the content container or movie clip.So it needs the style elements as you see in the link and a scrollbar for dynamic content.
I'm posting this question because I've been searching for weeks and although I've found a plethora of examples of AS3 scrollbars, none - not one, has come close to something like this. I'm just curious how someone with real AS3 knowledge would go about the situation as I'm sure this is not as difficult as it's proving. Or maybe it is. I don't know.

I'm clear on the new CS5 IDE dialogue for embedding fonts, for example, embedding Arial, no problem, BUT, I want to embed Arial Bold (should be easy, right?), so I:
1. From the dynamic textfield's property panel, select Arial for the family, and Bold for the style.
2. Click embed, the dialogue appears, set up with the Arial-Family and Bold-Style as an entry on the list of embedded fonts.
3. I set a range of characters to be embedded with the font.
4. Click OK.
(Note: We're not assigning this font via actionscript to the textfield, the dynamic textfield is an asset on the stage, etc, so I'm assuming then I shouldn't have to export the font for actionscript)But clearly it's NOT OK, the bold font doesn't render, and I just see the regular Arial font... How can I get an embedded font STYLE to render correctly?

i am trying to create a form that can be used to fill in and send news to a database. I think i am sussing out all the php mysql stuff, but i really want to create some phpBB style features. For example, i would like the user to be able to click a "bold" button which would open a window to enter the text to be formatted bold. The same for underline, link and mailto. Thats it.
I have tried to find examples, using substring methods and such. And i expect using html formatting would be a good place to start, but i can't think of how to get it to do it. If you've posted anything with a bold piece of text or a link, you'll see how the functions of the Bold, Underline stuff work. That's what i want to create for a flash form. I can then send the formatted news, to the database from where it is subsequently put into the news page textField.

Im attempting to make a create your own art work style piece in flash. Ive designed it out so that you first select one of 3 buttons to select which vase you wish to use as a base. However the next set of buttons relate to the colour of that object, so there are 4 options (blue, red, pink and brown) and the user selects one from clicking the appropriate button.
However im strugling to figure out how i would know which of the first options (which vase) the user has selected in the first place. Is there some kind of time line trick or script that i could use to sort this out???

Creating a pacman-style game using Flash (AS3). There are 3 players competing to eat the most dots. Right now when one player eats a dot, on that player's screen the dot goes away (but only for a second) and appears again in the screen. The other player playing, doesn't see that the dot went away and reappeared.Using hitTestObject, when a player touches a dot, the dot should no longer be seen on the stage. I'm using shared object to create this multi-player game environment. I'm new in using SharedObject and also AS3.

I'm attempting to connect to an existing Comet-style long-poll service using an AIR app. The service expects a client to make a GET request with a Connection: Keep-Alive header. This request will remain open for long periods of time so that the server can push data through. In my app, the connection is terminated with an IOError after 30 seconds.
Is this an undocumented limitation of URLStream? A restriction on adl (I've only been running my app through adl)?
The server does not send any "keep-alive" messages to the client but, unfortunately this is not something i have control over.
Update
To test this, I've set up a stripped-down version using a little php script (linked by leggetter below) and am hitting it from a simple AIR app. I'm finding that my connections are closed after 30 seconds whether I use URLStream or URLLoader. the PHP:
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
sleep(40);
[Code]....
If i adjust the initial sleep time in the php script to anything over 30 seconds, the IOError event is triggered. If I lower the sleep time, but the request continues adding data past 30 seconds, the onComplete event is called, but _urlLoader.data is empty.
The only way this process completely successfully is if the entire thing is over before 30 seconds elapses.

Was hoping to get some advice here. Having trouble with what would seem to be a basic navigational system for an iPad presentation. I have, for this example, 5 pages in my library which I've added into an array.The effect I'm aiming for, when the user swipes to go to the next page, it should:
- Add the next page to stage using addChild (out of view)
- Tween the current page out of view, tween the next page into view
- Remove the old page using removeChild.
The reasoning for this is I will have a large amount of pages with heavy animation and I'm trying to avoid having them all present on stage at once to prevent a drop in FPS.
Here is my code so far. I've tried a few things such as trying to re-set currentPage with the array but have had no luck. Been pulling my hair out for a few hours now!
