Feb 21, 2007I trying to load indivual strings of text from an external file. example: I have a movie that navigates from frame to frame. on each frame I'd like a line of text to load into the movie. When the user navigates to the next frame the text loaded vanishes and is replaced by another line of text. This can be done with separate txt files, right but I was wondering if and how it could be done using one external text file.

Data Integration :: Handle Double Quotes In Data Read In From External Source?
Mar 14, 2011I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

Data Integration :: Loading Data From Xml File?
Jan 26, 2008I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine.

Data Integration :: Create A Tree Layout That A User Can Navigate?
May 12, 2009I have been given the task at work to create a interactive tree. A little like a family tree, but instead of people it will be branches (think of them as buildings). I've spent a day or so looking and finding out how to get the data from my SQL database in a format that flash can read it etc. Anyhow the problem is I don't really know where to start with the graphical aspect of it...
Each branch can have more than one child and i want the user to be able to scroll through the history of that branch, seeing it's parent branch and also it's child branches, each branch will have a certain amount of information to show. So it's almost as if i need to create a branch class and then use this and load all the data into it etc.
Should i create a new layer for each branch? Then when the user clicks a down button i just take them to a new layer? Do i create the whole thing on one layer and have navigation buttons so the user can scroll around the window and see all the other branches?
It would be nice if i could draw the damn thing at run time, and the user almost walks along lines from one branch to another, and has the option which path to take if one branch has more than one child etc.
Data Integration :: Create A Slideshow That Pulls Information From A Database?
Apr 22, 2011I want to create a slideshow banner that will showcase our products. The slideshow will contain the image of the product, the name, the price, the item code and the link when someone clicks on it. Each week we update the best sellers and it can be from 5 to 15 different products. Similar to what we have now in our website www.deiequipment.com which now is static, we want to animate it and rotate the products like a slideshow.The problem we are encountering is that we have to manually update the slideshow content.
We would like to know if there is a way through scripting or catalyst to connect to a database and simply update all these fields automatically. So for example if the database has 5 items, automatically will pre-fill each field listed above and the slideshow will have 5 products.
If we update the database now with 10 products, to update automatically. That way we can create 1 slide show, the time it takes to rotate to the next product, and add simple button controls to the slide show for next and back that will simply go through the loaded items.I tried to do a research on how to do it online but some takes me to scripting, others to catalyst dabases, but none are specific to what I need.As a note, the image will just be an image holder that will be updated with the image field in the database that points to the URL location of the image.
