IDE :: Completely Dynamic ScoreBoard?
Feb 22, 2010
I'm building a dynamic scoreboard for a client currently. The first application will be a golf leaderboard. It needs to be updateable by the client (I'll write a form that fills in the xml file from the users input)I need to have a xml file that defines..-number of columns/rows-titles-content in each boxand then the flash that takes that and generates a table from it.Is there any tutorials or source files floating around that do this? There's plenty that talk about in-game scoreboards, but we need to have all the data input from an external file.

I am working on a navigation for a page that consists of an image container, a text block, and a navigation. I have all the content in an xml file that is loaded and parsed placing each part of the site in its respectable spot. My question is I need to have the data for this site change when a button in the nav is pressed, so that the image and desc content is passed that corresponds to its button. this is in flash 8, as 2.0.

To remove a dynamic displayObject completely you need removeChild or removeChildAt(index) remove all the refrences to the displayObject nulling the displayObject
But this is my case
PHP Code:
//here recto is a MovieClip on stage//i creat a dynamic display Object named newMcvar newMc:MovieClip =new MovieClip();newMc.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,1);newMc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,10,10);newMc.graphics.endFill();recto.addChildAt(newMc,1);//i refrence the newMc using
[Code].....
I believe that it is refrencing newMc but I am not sure why nulling refrenceMc has effect on newMc

is referencing newMc or creating a copy of it. I believe that it is refrencing newMc but I am not sure why nulling refrenceMc has effect on newMc.

Is it possible to create a completely dynamic menu by creating empty movie clips and loading external images into them? I'm experimenting with this, but it seems there is no way to create rollover/release functions for these dynamically created MC's.

I have a scoreboard in flash which works great, but once go back onto the scores page at the end of the game it adds the text to each field again rather than refreshing the scores/names, therefore each item appears twice in each box..
Is there a correct way to dynamically update the scores each time I access the page ? I've tried creating a loop that sets the value of each text_box.text to ""; once I leave the page but that didn't work !!

I need to create a scoreboard for my game. I want to be able to let my user submit the time it took to complete the game to my scoreboard. I have been able to purchase webspace with SQL, PHP. I have set up my SQL database. I have found a great tutorial about how to do precisely what I wanted on YouTube BUT after starting the tutorial I realised it was ActionScript 2, I REALLY need time type of tutorial but for ACTIONSCRIPT.

I'm trying to make a scoreboard of players.It works fine for strings (like the username) listing like:
User1
User2
User3
etc
using in PHP to seperate them. (Using Flash,PHP,MySQL Integration)This is how I get them from the db in PHP:
PHP Code:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $rankPos .= $nrow . "
"; //# Position $rankUser .= $row['user'] . "
"; //Username obviously $rankN .= $row[$rankBy] . "
[code]...
The problem with this is, when flash receives rankings such as time, they are seperated by newlines () which makes them strings instead of integers as they rightly should be.
I'm using a time to string function to convert the time as integer (getTimer()) to a format HH:MM:SS It's fine ranking the times in the getTimer format but it all becomes a mess when trying to display the string format instead. (Considering times for all players are linked in the same string passed by PHP as time
time
time
time (000000
[code]...
The reason they are split with newlines is because the rankings are displayed in a single dynamic text.I tried converting each time in flash using the int function, but what would you do for newlines? The time rankings just comes out as '0' because of the newlines.I've also tried using this following function to remove the newlines and then possibly put each time into an array.
Actionscript Code:
function time(input){ timestr = ""; for(i=0; i<input.length; i++){ if(input.charAt(i) != " "){ timestr += input.charAt(i);} } return timestr;}
[code]...
What would I check for in order to get each time into an array?Though I'd much prefer using a much more efficient and easy method for display high scores.

Basically I've set up a scoreboard for a flash game I've made for a client. Now the scoreboard works fine but apparently it's not very secure. One of the clients friends was able to add a score of 100,000 without even playing the game. This is quite a big problem as they are planning on doing a competition with prizes for the highest scores.
What's the normal way to encrypt data on a scoreboard? The scores are stored in a MySQL database btw.

I am making a scoreboard. On this scoreboard I will have 10 different scores. I want to compare the 10 scores and list the top 3 scores in another location. I was thinking at first
if(score1>score2&&score1>score3&&score1>score4 etc.....){
some function
}
But this will only give me the top score in the group. I would like to find the top 3 scores, and then list them.

I also want another fla file to be able to reference this external array and pull the top 15 scores from it, and then display those scores on a scrolling banner. I want the banner to be able to update dynamically (I assume reloading the banner fla each time it reaches the end of its cycle, having the first frame load the external array on an onClipEvent action would accomplish this), that way it will update while remaining open. The main reason I need two separate files for the quiz and the score banner is they will be displayed on two different monitors. What would be the most efficient way of accomplishing this? I know a little about actionscript but I don't have much experience with calling data and functions from external fla or as files (the array and the function designating how the data will be arranged within said array are going to be in a separate .as file).

I need to make a scoreboard/timer that would show on a projector so that everyone can see the current points and the 8 second timer, all this controlled for a non-flash-user, considering someone else will have to do it cause I'm IN the gameshow, so it has to be easily-changable.
[[[I'd also like to mention I apparently heard that this could somehow be done sending information between flash and excel? The image attached is what it'd look like. Each peice is a graphic object in flash.

I need this for a simple iPhone app...I was trying to create a Scoreboard for my iPhone using Flash CS5 in Air for iOS mode. I succesfully add the Timer and the 24-seconds Timer, but now i need soooo much help. Problems: 1. When the Timer reaches 0 mins, it display only :59, not 00:59 2. I tried to add a Button for the Counter of the points, but it seems very complicated in AS3(not in AS2 :/). I created a TLF Read Only Text named "HomeScore" . But it's a String not a Number so i can't add a simple counter. 4. with the Reset button (for Timer & 24-Seconds) and the Start/Stop buttons (for Timer & 24). My code:import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I am making my very first AS3 game, and though it's quite simple I'm having trouble setting up a scoring system. The concept of the game is simple. Objects appear on the screen, clicking the objects adds points. For this project I am working with 3 AS files, a Document class and two movieclip class files. I would also like to track how many objects have been added to the stage in addition to the score which should track how many objects have been clicked. Here is my Doc Class

Whats the best way to destroy a movie clip? Right now I just do (AS3):
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterFrame);
MovieClip(parent).removeChild(this);
But the object still exists in memory even though it is not executing script. Is there any way to completely get rid of it?

I used the search best of tutorial URL... to build a similar system. The thing is that my xml has much more content and now the search only presents partial results instead of all. I suspect that this has something to do with lack of time to preform a complete search to the xml file to get all the results and display them in flash.

I have this gradient backgroun where it goes from 0-100-0 of alpha.When I rollover a button, I add in the bg, and when i rollout of the bg, i remove it.The problem now is when I rollover the button the 2nd time,it seems like the bg added already have a previous added gradient bg, and it added a new 1 on top.so each time I rollover the button the alpha of the gradient will go higher
exp:
1st time rollover:0-100-0
2nd time rollover:10-100-10

I am having a problem with a swf completly disappearing when using wmode at all. When wmode parameter is removed, the swf appears fine. The bug only occurs in FF on a PC (and only some of the time at that ). When theres only a limited amount of html code in the surrounding page (even with wmode ), the swf is visible, however at a certain point, ANY extra line of code causes it to break.

I am designing a website for my brother [URL]and have place a movie he created on the first page of the site. It is a Flash movie, and I do not have the original document. I would like to set it up so it loads completely, then starts playing on it's own once it has completely loaded. (Right now it loads a bit, then plays, then loads a bit more, then plays a bit more, etc).

I am very new to Flash and I am making a little 30 second clip just to fool around with Flash.Now at the end of my film I just want everything to stop (if possible, once a specific frame is hit move to another frame.)I've heard that you could use ActionScript to perform this but I really have no clue

I recently saw "Remove or Reuse" by badaboom, in which he set the the invader instance to "null".In my constructor, I have a sprite variable as [code]When the user clicks the start button, the trail sprite is used.[code]After the user click the start button, a timer starts and the trail is drawn [code]Since this is a simulation, the user will want to erase all the trails drawn at some instance to show new examples. In in the reset button, if I set:[cod]Then do I lose the trail variable? Because I need to re-use it later in the start button and in the timer. I also learned somewhere that garbage collection only collect when the variables does not link to any other instances. In this case, the trail is still sticking onto the container_mc right?I have tried container_mc.removeChild(trail) alone, but when I addChild(trail), none of the trails drawn are deleted.

I've having a problem when I am removing a child. There is an area where you can choose a button to click(there are multiple buttons here). Once you click a button it loads workss_mc and you can go back from there and workss_mc is being removed then work_mc is being added again. The problem is once it is added again and you click on any of the other buttons the frame label from the previous session when it was clicked is still at that location.
