View 3 RepliesIīm trying to order elements of an array. When the dates come from dynamics text itīs no problem, bad when come from input text the dates are treated like strings and itīs impossible to order correctly, because 15 is considered less than 3. In both cases I can operate correctly whit this dates like numbers.How is possible to order this dates from input text, like numbers?
View 3 RepliesI've been able to accomplish this in other languages, but am having trouble in AS3.I have an XML file structured like:
<person>
<q0>answer1</q0>
<q1>answer2></q1>
</person>
And so on for multiple people who are all asked the same 13 questions (q0 - q12).I am trying to push these into an array in action script like so:
function push_array(e:Event):void
{
flashmo_xml = XML(e.target.data);[code].....
(NOTE: the array questions[] contains strings of all the questions and the xml file contains the answers in case that wasn't clear) However this is not working. I know there must be a way to do this rather than getting all the questions individually without a for() loop.
Does Flex Dictionary maintain the order of its elements?
View 2 Replies I am currently making a quiz game and have an XML file which stores all the questions/answers.I then load the xml, and put all of the info into multiple arrays.
ActionScript Code:
var x = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;
x.load ("Stating The Obvious 2.xml")
[code]....
So, how would I edit the code to make the questions appear in a random order? i.e. Make the currentQuestionNumber be random while not repeating itself.Also, is it possible to make the answers appear in a random order on the screen? For example, instead of the "answer1array" element always appearing at the top and the "answer4array" element appearing at the bottom, is there a way to mix things up a bit?
So I'm loading in an external swf using typical code from a tutorial or something, and I want to have a menu button that sits on top of the external swf. When this button is clicked, the external swf is closed and my program continues. I have everything working, except that I cannot seem to figure out how to get the button on top of the swf.
Since the external swf is created via code, but the button has been manually created in flash, they aren't children of the same displayobject, so I can't seem to use the setChildIndex() call. I either need to figure out how to load the external swf into a manually created movie clip, or I need to create a copy of my menu button and create a duplicate of it as a sibling of the external swf; neither of which I know how to do.
Is it generally to position elements relative to other elements or in absolute values?
View 2 RepliesI'm fairly new at flash development but here goes: is it possible to use xml to drive the layout of a flash website in CS3? Perhaps using ActionScript 2 or 3? In particular, I'm looking to be able to for e.g. create a news ticker where changing the XML allows you to 1) change the text and appearance, 2) framerate can be controlled, 3) interpolations between key frames can be specified (e.g. linear interpolation)
View 1 RepliesI have some movieclips stacked on top of each other, i've got them swapping depths onRelease, but I want them to swap in opposite direction to what they are now. Check out the link below, basically you click the 2nd or 3rd clip to call infront of the 1st, but i want to click the 1st to send to back and so on.[URL]..

I have an image gallery of 6 images on a frame of my timeline. what I want to happen is instead of all images trying to load up at the same time when at that point in the timeline I want the 1st image to process and load then move on to the 2nd image here is how I am loading those images.
location1.loadMovie ("image1.jpg");
location2.loadMovie ("image2.jpg");
location3.loadMovie (image3.jpg");
and so on.
can I edit this code somehow so that the 2nd through 6th images do not load until image 1st is fully loaded and so on.
I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?
I am looking to create flash movies that include video and that have dynamic text in them.Basically the concept is we send out an email with a link in it that has an ID in a query string value. Once the page loads It hits our database and pulls out the name of the person tied to the ID in the querystring, then the page would need to pass this information on to the flash movie and update a symbol with the text. Does this sound crazy or is it possible? We also want to export it to html5 so it works on all devices and browsers
View 2 RepliesI try to load 4 pictures. Loading is fine but the order is reverse.This is the code:
function showThumbnail(id:String, xmllist:XMLList):void{
var pics:XMLList = xmllist.(@name == id).*;
for each(var i:XML in pics.pic){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

The "I" is the picture index. I think the order should be 1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png just like the order of the xml ~~This is the output:

I have been shown how to do a very specific task in Flash Pro CS5. I have five slides in my timeline, with buttons that include links to product pages on our website. These five slides comprise a movie, with each slide being displayed for a few seconds and it repeatedly cycles through the five slides in a banner at the top of our home page. In addition there is a navigation bar below my slide images with a play and pause option, plus the five slide numbers so the viewer can navigate from slide to slide manually. I have been asked to change the order of the slides so that slide #5 now becomes slide #1 and slide #1 becomes slide #2, and so on.
I can easily switch the images and links so that the slides are in a different order in my file, but now the navigation bar below does not work. In the Actions panel, the #1 button in the navigation bar still appears to be linked to slide 1, which now has the new images, yet the nav bar does not respond to clicks anymore. How was my nav bar disabled when I switched the images and links around between the slides? and how can I correct this? I know nothing else about Flash except how to replace the images and change the button links in each slide, which I do monthly, as this is the top banner on our website.

View 1 RepliesIt is a large gear that rotates CCW when you click the top button and CW when you click the bottom button. Clicking the buttons also retrieves the next element in an array called 'title' and displays it next to the gear. The elements of the array are titles of videos. I need to be able to click on these titles (as hyperlinks) and have them open up a video window to display the video that corresponds to that title. I am using flash CS5 and I am a beginner.

wonered if someone could help me wih this one. Currently making a facebook game all in flash, it uses multiple swfs to make up the game and its elements for optimisation.
My question really is down to flash cache issue so we can make updates to various swfs that are going to be, site wide for users so the game doesnt break. Currently some users get older versions which breaks things if other swfs have chnaged how they communicate as an example.
I am aware of adding a query string onto the end to force to get the latest version.....however doesnt this make the use of a cache redudant as its being simply overriden? Would jsut like it to work as it should:) If theres a new version of a swf use it..if not use current one.
this concerns flash cs5 and the timeline.Everybody knows the effect you get when you use appendText() to add text to a multiline dynamic textfield, right ? Well, I have a movieClip as a container, and I would like dynamic textfields to populate this movieclip in the same manner as textStrings would populate the dynamic Textfield.
How would this work?I have buttons that trigger addChild() function so as to populate the movieclip with textfields, but how do I make sure that the textfields make up an arbitrary list as a menu user chooses which buttons to click?
Let's say this is the visible text when the swf runs.(I cut away some of the code to make this more to the point):
var buttonTrace:TextField=new TextField;
addChild(TextClip.buttonTrace); buttonTrace.x=0;
buttonTrace.y=0;
buttonTrace.text="Breadcrumbs";
Now for each time I click a button in the menu I've made, a new textfield appears with the name of the button. This is how I want it. BUT......... How do I control the display properties and positioning of dynamic textfields within a movieclip ? How do I control persistent visibility, and how do I make these textfields appear one after the other in the order they were clicked.
When i create a menu, the dropdowns go behind the flash element. But in some sites, like Digg, it is shown above. z-index is of no use

But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below.

Why doesn't this code go through the XML file in order? It should go through the XML file and display the images/comments as they are ordered in the XML file.
