I've a XMLList like:
<parent>
<one>
<child id="1" />
<child id="2" />
[Code]....
Where the _loc_1 would be "one" or "two". Is this possible with the getDefinitionByName() to do this?
I've been getting into some xml finally, and came across how handy the XMLList. As I understand it, the XMLList can be treated almost like an array.
[Code]....
I can trace the xmlDoc variable and get the entire xml document I'm trying to pull in - but if I want to just bring in the entries or the content within them, I get a big 'undefined'. Am I using the xmlList wrong? How should I be able to get an array without having to loop through all the xml Document stuff? here's an example of the xml pulled.

I have a object in an ISOmetric room I made and I made bounds that are as tall as the char so that he could not go up the wall.I'm wanting do do the same thing with a dynamically loaded SWF that contains and object that can be moved around and stuff,well I have tried to make it so that when it collides with the bounds I made for the man it would stopdrag() but it won't!
Is there another way I could do this or a way to impove the current way??
I've used this script:
[AS]
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
_root.main.attachMovie("boxContect", "boxContect", 1)
bar.useHandCursor = false;
space = 20;
friction = 0.9;
speed = 4;
[Code] ....
If I try to load some thing dynamically into the main MovieClip, it works but the scrollbar doesn't works properly, it doesn't noticed that the height from main has changed.
I have an XMLList 'Keywords', which consists of about 30 elements. I want to count the number of unique keywords in the List, and how often they occur. Then display the top 3 most occuring keywords.
View 1 RepliesSo what I'm looking to do now is to actually get that movie clip - in this case an arrow -to rotate around another object - a ship - at a radius of 150 pixels and facing the mouse.This basically means to get the arrow to follow where the mouse goes around the ship - limited by the 150 pixel radius circle it can follow.p.s. This is the code so far:
ActionScript Code:
theArrow.x = theShip.x
theArrow.y = theShip.y
[code].....
I have a one-frame .fla with script on one layer and a movie clip on another. The movie clip has an instance name of "titleBar," which moves from left to right using dynamic tweening.The tween code moves it from an X position of 200 to a X position of 820.Then I have a function called "xChange," which waits for titleBar's X value to be 820. Once it does, I'd eventually want to load an external swf but I'm just running a trace for now.Again, Here's the code.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I've generated sample xml file:[code]This works ok. What the code is doing - its assigning each node of the xml file to one of the boxes in the fla file.My question is if we can assign to each of the node one box dynamicly? So bassicaly if i will have 5 nodes the code will -draw???- a box and putted the name of the node in the box.And so on, for each of the nodes? And if i will have 6 nodes, then it will draw 6 boxes and so on..
View 6 RepliesI know how to do stuff in flash. Ok, so here's what I want to know..on this guessing game, I want the person to enter in their 1 - 3 digit guess, the the number they need to guess is 577 (later I want to make this random whenever they go to play it). If they guess under 577, I have a box to say their guess is too low. If they guess over 577, it says their guess is too high. However, I am not sure how to make it so that what they put in the text box, it takes it as the new variable. I know this may sound confusing, but here is the .fla file.URL...
View 5 RepliesI have a specific request or a general pondering really.I know you can create a sine wave type thing with as, could you then perhaps create movie clips, letter by letter that would move along and up and down on this sine wave?could you then, instead of setting the size and scale of the sine wave have it react to the input levels of a mic.i've been hunting for something that will help for a while and have drawn a blank

View 1 RepliesI have a swf named home.swf on the stage of home.swf I've added a Sprite with this code
var onStage:bc_sprite = new bc_sprite();addChild(onStage);another swf called menu.swf loads home.swf into a loader which is added to a MovieClip named currentPage which is on the stage thusly.currentPage.addChild(swfLoader);
Have a little homepage, where I load some of the stuff from external swf's. But I have some buttons which is gonna be on top of the external load content, but when I export it the buttons doesn't appear anymore. Underneath I have some AS which I use to load the the external content, and to control my buttons.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler_contact);
function clickHandler_contact(event:MouseEvent):void{
if (event.target.name!=null){

I have a free text which allows the user to enter stuff. But that text box needs to be a 24bit hex string ONLY.How do I restrict this so that it only allows 24bit hex strings.
Code:
000000
.
.
FFFFFF
I've thought about creating a regular expression to parse the whole string then return a message. But what would be even better is if the thing worked at run time so that the user can never enter an invalid string.
So I've a symbol in my library with 3 things in it: textfield, and 2 movieclips (background and icon).
Should I place each item in different layer or i can place them in 1 layer? When should I place everything in separated layers and when not?

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a Flash game for a class that is supposed to test elementary kids' math skills. After each activity is completed, Flash sends the results to our database (e.g., that 8/10 math problems were answered correctly). If the user is in the middle of an activity and hits our Logout button, we'll send what results they had to the database anyway. But if the user closes out of the browser in the middle of an activity, is there a way to quickly send stuff to the database before the swf dies?
View 2 RepliesI made a random animation based on the tutorial, but my randomized movie clip is a guy i grew in a wheelchair, and i was wonderign if there was a way to like make them bounce off of eachother, and add sound to it when they hit like an "oof" or something
View 1 Replieshow to code where it should move towards (that's easy), and I know somewhat how to use math stuff on flash. But when I tried to implement it on this, it doesn't work. See code:
angleA = Math.atan2(TARGET._y-HERO._y, TARGET._x-HERO._x);
var degrees = angleA/(Math.PI/360);
BULLET._rotation = degrees;
It is correctly placed, don't worry about that.
I'm sure it's been discused before ..but I can't seem to be able to find it in the masses of photo gallery questions..So here it is;I want to load pictures/swf's etc into flash ..no problem.However, i want them to resize (proportionally) so they fit inside the movieclip holder.I'm ok with a solution where you have to state the size in XML, aslong as they fit in the movie clip.Code:

Does anyone know a method or referance link on how to SUBMIT the online edited graphic data? I'm wondering whether it's possible to get a screenshot on click to be mailed.
Id like to use a switch statement to check if a given value falls between certain values and then based on different values and then perform differently in each situation. I'm hoping i just have a syntax understanding deficit. Here's what i'm trying ...that doesn't work.

xmlList is alive and well in the xmlLoaded function. I need to access it in the loadMusic.fla.
difference between XML and XMLList in my example code? I am passing a node to the function and extracting the url of the file:

var file:String;

Why do I have to have 'current' as XML and not as XMLList? I thought XMLList's with length == 1 are handled as XML's anyway, aren't they?

However i get the following error when it is trying to append to an XMLList.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I am trying to query the local SQLite database and see if the episode exists (working) and if it does append to one xmllist and if not then append to the other xmllist.

How can you tell if an XMLlist object in AS3 contains a specific node?
View 2 RepliesMy Flash designer is reading an XML stream I'm sending back to the browser (I'm a C# dev). We have this working fine.
He is then selecting into an XMLList where a element has its id a certain value i.e. . This is also working just fine.
In this XmlList, are Events, that look a little something like this:
event
startdate
enddate
end event
I don't know how to use the formatting here - but each of those items is an element. startdate would have a value such as 04/02/2010 and enddate 6/30/2010.
Now, from this XmlList I do have of Events, I need to select all Events where a new variable myDate, falls in between the startdate and enddate.
