My supervisor is interested in showing certain data within a dynamic map and this data must be fed from an Excel file. I was thinking I may have to use some service to convert the XLS to a CSV file, but if there's a direct way to do it with AS3 I can skip that step. The Excel file will be updated regularly. Eventually, she wants this movie to allow her to modify the Excel file as well.

View 2 RepliesI am going to be writing an app in flash builder and I want the ability to import CSV data into an SQLite database in Adobe Air/flashbuilder.
I have never done anything like this and am not totally sure where to start.I will want to do some manipulation of the data before I reinsert it. So really I need to know what steps (classes and functions) I need to use to parse the data from a CSV file into an array that can be manipulated in actionscript?
I am really new to php. I have an AS3 file which records user inputted data and stores them in variables. The only thing i know how to do is how to email those variables using .php. Well I want to be able to export the data to a csv file from the flash file and later want to import it back to the flash file.

View 25 RepliesI have the Following requirement and I do not even know where to begin.I have created a map of a Country and on the map are several towns and cities, obviously easy enough so far.So, for example, say the XML data provides information of ten different pieces of information, one might be say Lightning Strikes.
I want to be able to create a dynamic map that adds a Red dot beside the City, that represents a record of the lightning strike. Or ,if required a larger dot might represent 10 lightning strikes if it is a very regular occurance.The main objective is to provide an up to date visual representation of which location is more active.I don't mind experimenting or following a link or guide to work it out,

View 1 RepliesHow can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

View 2 RepliesI am at the point where I'd like to incorporate tables of attribute data specific to my movie clips. For example, tables of demographic info specific to US counties. I'd like to make these data queriable by clicking on a specific county (mc). I've been reading some tutorials and it sounds like I should convert my data to xml (from a CSV or XLS) and then import the XML to my stage and start learning the ins/outs of calling on its values.
Am I starting down the right path? First off, I've not found a very straightforward way to get my data into XML. It originates in a DBF and i could easily convert it to tab-del text, csv or anything else.Also, should i rethink where I am starting with this and not use XML altogether, maybe using something else?
If I try an use a DataProvider in actionscript in my flex project using FlexBuilder 3:

There are hundreds of posts on this subject, none with solution. [URL].. has an answer which is meaningless. The mxml page I am developing already has a ComboBox dragged onto it, this does not magically put the DataProvider in a library or similar as implied.
I am the fan of kirupa but this is my first thread in forum. I have some problem with sendAndLoad method with actionscript 2.0. I am developing a online game with flash mx , MS SQL 2000 and asp. The problem is I send the data using sendAndLoad method to asp file and get data back from asp file. But when the internet connection is not good there is a problem like jam or lost packets. How can I prevent the lost of packets. Some of the data are important. Is there any way to solve this?

View 2 RepliesWe have a system that allows a user to upload any image, which we store on the server. Of course, it is simple to load an image (that you know the path to) using loadMovie, but I also want to load certain pieces of meta data about the image that is precalculated and stored on the server; we may one day want to retrieve things completely unrelated to the image as well, so consider the non-image data to be arbitrary.So, that said, is there a way to simply return the image as a variable (urlencoded and returned in a loadVars request, perhaps) and then load that data into a movie clip?
Bonus Lightning Round Question: Is there a way to check the output of a PHP script which processes uploads when the request is sent via FileReference.upload(url:String)? Should I load/escape the binary data and then send it using a loadVars() request if I want to see the output?

View 1 RepliesI am using Flash CS5 to generate an array of the notes in a midi file. Basically I store data such as time of the note, note duration, pitch, scale, volume, etc.I have 2 questions:How can I export all these data in order to use it in after effects (as a txt file? other formats?);How do I use the exported file in After Effects later on: How do I tell After Effects when to start playing a note in a specific time? how do I associate note height with a specific feature (lets say - square width) - and so on.I DO know some basic coding in after effect (how to associate elements inside After - such as volume and opacity) but I need to understand how to deal with an exported file (and in which format to generate it).

View 3 RepliesI tried to import a class in a .as file and I had strange behaviors that I cannot explain. First of, I tried to get work a senocular class by importing it locally his script in the same directory of my main .as class.
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import duplicateDisplayObject;
There was no error returned from the compiler saying not found but there was one telling my class is still undefined as when I try to make the class work. (possibly undefined method). So I did it with the old fashion I found in some demos, placing the .as file in a com/senocular/display/ folder:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import com.senocular.display.duplicateDisplayObject;
And then no errors. The compiler recognize the class and execute it.
