Professional :: How To Choose Different Values From RSS Feed
Mar 16, 2010
I've just started experimenting with RSS in Flash - so far I am able to pull a feed in, but what I want to try now is to actually separate values from within a feed to go to different movie clips. So let's say my feed looks like this:
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>title goes here</title>
<link> [URL]>
<description>description</description>
[Code] .....
What I'm trying to do is have a few bubbles of boxes etc floating everywhere where you can click one and it shows a different (or random) <item> from the feed (with the relevant item child values inside). I've looked at creating nodes etc but it seems to only create to pulling the first one with that specific name, instead of choosing from the whole array.

I'm trying an an excersise of showing random products from a feed in a flash movie. I want to make a game where boxes fall from the sky and a user can click them. I have made the game, which was a fun learning curve. However, in each box i want some text to appear when clicked -a product, it's link and it's desciprtion. I really need to know the best way of pulling an RSS feed in this way, and also how to seperate the various values and to make only one product appear in each box.

I've downloaded the latest version of Air (3.1 now), but I can't choose it as my player in CS5.5. Is there something specific I'm supposed to do so I can access it? I assume I can also import the Air 3 libraries into flash builder as well, right?

I have a video business and my website has a lot of video examples. I wanted to show some image quality as well as a decent frame size for viewing. The video files were encoded in AME at vbr 775kbps (max of 1100kbps) with a frame size of 720x405. Do you think these bitrate settings are acceptable for internet speeds today?

I would like to have a map of the 50 U.S. states. I would like to click on a state and have a small pop-up window that displays the temperature of the capital of that state. After 5 seconds the pop-up closes. Behind the scenes I would also like the clicks being tracked by a database. I am digging around weather.com trying to figure out linking RSS feeds to Flash and I am thinking MySql to count the clicks. Does anyone have any tips or a quicker, easier way to set this up?

I have an application that contains a group of images (movieSymbols) on stage. (like chairs) I can drag these chairs all over the page.
However:
1) Can I have ONLY one chair on stage and drag the same chair in multiple locations so that now I will have 10 chairs on stage?
2) If the above is possible, is there a way to set a counter that will show 10 chairs are on stage?

I have built a simple twitter feed flash app and it works just fine when accessed directly, but does not work when embedded into the page. I suspect that the answer might be simple, but I just can't find it.

I've created some dynamic movieclips. When I click and hold on one of them, I'd like a different library linked MC to appear, and the new MC to be draggable.
I can make the new MC appear, and I can make it draggable. However, I'm a little lost when it comes to telling Flash to forget about the old clip, and make the new one the 'live' one.
In other words - after a click-hold, I want the new movieclip to be movable without the user having to mouse up and then click again.

I'm new to Flash and PHP. I'm using the FlashBuilder with PHP product. I have a data grid that is connected to a PHP script that retrieves and updates data via the 'Enable Data Management' function. If I modify data on the grid by using the screen and call .commit(), everything works OK.
However I would like to programmatically change some of the values in the data that underly the grid and have those changes get back to the update function in the PHP script when commit(). is called. But I can't figure out how to change the underlying data.
Here's the code I've tried: (the object that I pass back and forth to the PHP script is call MailPiece. I want to set the WORKORDERNUMBER field on each row of the data)

I must have done something wrong because when I try this
var a = 5.222+ 0.0002trace (a)
I get // 5.222200000000001
And then I try
var b = 2.222+ 0.0002trace (b)
I get // 2.2222

I'm starting flash and already familiar with some of the basics (movie clips, coloring them, adding them on stage, events).And while I read a book to follow, and see tutorials here and there, I kinda follow the "learn as you go" approach.I think the most challenging part here is the scroller to choose colors. I already tried to look for online tutorials but I guess my google terms were simply weak and inaccurate.

HTTPService has a property resultFormat which can be set to any of the following: array e4x flashvars object text xml .I looked at the documentation to understand the difference, but still couldn't understand when to use each. I'm looking for the lightest weight of all of them.
P.S. I'm consuming output from my own server, so can change the output format as needed to make it compatible with each.

Imagine we have an object dispatching some event and this object should perform some action on this event. What's the right way of catching this event? May I listen to this event directly in my object or should I let this event travel through EventMap? Example: I have a popup window with form. On submitting form, I'm going to send a request to remote server and close this popup. Is it ideologically correct to perform popup close on click without dispatching custom event to EventMap?

ok in theory this sounds brutally easy. Just can't make it fire. On my stage I have an atm movieclip called "atm". In it I have 8 buttons l1-l4 and r1-r4. I add and remove functions based upon what is on the screen. So on the third screen I want when I hit l1 for a dynamic text box to display "20". So my thought is, place the dynamic textbox where I need it, create the instance name, and where it needs to come up use this line of code:
cashdispense.text == "20";
well the box remains blank. I've posted all my code if it makes things easier to understand.

I have recently been using Charles the debugging app. And noticed a very chatty app named skyrocket (a very very cool slide presentation app) sending a lot of data across the wire. It is built in flex by the looks and I was wondering why they had chosen to send their data using base64 and not amf. Is it because they don't want to be locked into the flash platform? Or could there be another reason. Is it to store it as XML in the database as they don't want to be dealing with amf when handing data to other services/clients (iPhone etc).

I am builder a graph that is going to cover an entire month. The user may change the Month/Year but there is no point in choosing a date for the month as it is going to show the entire month anyways. So is there a way to maybe make the DateChooser date always the first and only allow the user to pick the month and year?
