Actionscript 3 :: Best Way To Obtain Geocode For Location In Flash
Mar 9, 2010
In the advanced search page you can specify 'near' a specific location and this 'near' parameter shows up clearly in the query string.However, Twitter does not support the use of 'near' in the public search api.Apparently you need to supply a geocode value.Can anyone suggest the best way for obtaining a geocode in Flash?

I would like to write a flash program that obtains the viewer's IP address, then obtains the viewer's state, and then according to the state it shows a particular picture. So if I put this flash on my website and someone from Massachussetts looks at my website they will see a picture of a MASS license plate, but if someone from NJ looks at the same site they will see a picture of a NJ license plate. I am familiar with some PHP, HTML, java-script and I have done alot Flash graphics work but I have not done any ActionScript which will need to be used here.

I am creating a Flex3 app to return some results from the Google Geocoding API. I am using the HTTPService Events sample from TourDeFlex as a reference guide to mimic. For now, I have hardcoded the response from Google to use this XML response: [URL] Network Monitor suggests that I am getting a valid response from the XML, but I imagine I have not referenced it correctly for populating my DataGrid?

So I have a URL that I need my Flash movie to extract variables from:
example link: [URL].. I need to get the aID and the bID numbers.
I'm able to get the full URL into a String via ExternalInterface
var url:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString"); if (url) testField.text = url;
Just unsure as how to manipulate the String to just get the 1234 and 5678 numbers.

The company I work for has their own Flash based video player and the question I get from our execs is "Can we tell what website our player is embedded on?"At first, I hypothesized I could use Apache mod_rewrite, extract the HTTP_REFFER, and append it to the end of the requested URL. So as the browser gets http://.../viewer.swf, I could slap on ?However, I don't think our CDN will cater to our htaccess file. Plus, mostly all the access_log entries show a dash rather than the domain.So I'm casting this question our here to see if I catch any ideas or solutions. Currently, everything points to 'not possible'.

today I'm trying to get the URL where my Flash movie is sitting on.
I found a similar question here, which was answered with a link to Flash's LoaderInfo method, but I'm not sure I'm using it correctly as the textField in my test movie here: [URL] does not display the URL
Updated! WORKING CODE
All I needed was this: stage.loaderInfo.url :)
package {
import flash.display.Stage;

I'm using UILoader to load SWF files which I have no source for. These SWF files were created in AS2. They use masks. Width and height return unmasked values.
I'm trying to find the visible width and height of the clip so I can scale it properly.
For example I want a SWF to fit within a 50x50 space. The visible SWF is 65x65 (but I don't know this) and the unmasked size is 100x100. If I set the width and height of the loaded movieclip to 50x50, Flash scales the clip based on the unmasked portion, and I get a clip scaled much too small. Keep in mind I have no control of the SWF content, so I can not override width/height, or get mask size.

so I have a JSON link that contains a couple of nodes (not sure what you call them in JSON) that I need to put into arrays in ActionScript, but I'm still having trouble trying to trace out all the specific node content.I found a similar question here, but the fix just showed how to trace out the entire JSON file (which shows up in my output window as [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],...)first node: {"captions":[{"content":"[hello world] ","startTime":0,"duration":4000}
My code:
private function onCaptionsComplete( event:Event ):void
{
//var jsonObj:Object = JSON.decode(event.target.data);[code].....
captions: undefined
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.What I would like to be able to do is put the content data into the captionsContent Array, and the startingTime into a startingTime Array, same with the duration data.

I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

I have problem with obtaining variables from php script.
Here is my php script
<?php
echo "&Files=1,2,3";
php>
And now in the actionscript 2.0
var GVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var Pictures:Array = new Array();
GVars.onLoad = lVars;
GVars.load("[URL]");
function lVars(){
trace("Files: " + this.Files);
Pictures = this.Files.split(",");
} trace("Array: " + Pictures.length);
Here is the output in the trace window
Array: 0
Files: 1,2,3,
As you can see the first is Array:0 which means that actionscript ran first trace
("Array: " + Pictures.length);
End then lVars function. I cannot load variables from php in correct order.

Situation:I've got 2 swf files,1 is a preloader which loads the 2nd swf file, my site.Both of them, if started separately,work correctly.Problem:when I put the files together,linking the site's swf to the preloader,I get a null element error and the site loads no correctly.What I've understood :The preloader is ok, because I can remove the error message working on the site's swf AS code.In the preloader's code I have some lines to center its animation on the stage, I do that like this:
import flash.display.Stage;
var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
then using myStage.stageWidth and myStage.stageHeight I calculate the clip position
Also on the site's code I do the same to center a movieclip using exactly the same code, but it doesn't work and I've found that the problem is the myStage variable, not because it has the same name as the variable on the other file (I've tried to name it myFrame).It looks that on the site's swf the myStage variable can't be assigned and then results to be null.
Question: How can I obtain the stage's height and width since var myStage:Stage = this. stage; doesn't work?

Can I get the obtain the size of the browser window in AS3?
The best method I've found is to get the size with Javascript and send it to Flash as a FlashVar. One limitation of this method is that it doesn't give the current size if the window is resized.

my mission is to select an item in a DataGrid instance with nothing but the coordinates on screen.
We are implementing right-click functionality in our Flash application, with the goal of being able to right-click a DG row, which would select that row plus show a popup window containing some context commands.
I have managed to get the right click event into my Flex app with the help of this site.
Further progress so far has been to obtain the DataGrid instance via
var objects : Array = this.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY));
and then to investige each of the array's items, for one of those 'parent.parentList' refers to the DataGrid instance.
I couldn't find any point-to-item converter function or anything.
PS: Using the standard Flash ContextMenu is, unfortunately, not an option.

I'm making a custom collision class, and I need to know the registration point of the targets so I can use the bitmap.hitTest(); function, and not all of my movieclips have their registration point in the upper left side, so I'll have to do a little calculation according to the registration point of each movieClip, but I don't seem to know how to obtain the registration point with as3.

for this project I'm trying to load a custom image into a loader at a specific spot and then place text right below it:
ActionScript Code:
package com.flashdo.flashblue
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]..
the positioning of the loader is always as if the width/height of the loader was 0. tracing those objects confirmed that. how would I go about loading the dimensions of a specific loader into ac3?
