I'm using a URLLoader to load a photo and I want to be able to display the filename of the photo based on the URLLoader's loaderInfo.url property.Given a loader named photoLoader, what the string called fileName be?
View 3 Repliesthe same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
Is it possible to draw out a path in the flash editor, set its visibility to hidden, and use this path data to animate objects in AS3?

I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 environment. I don't have any knowledge in depth with Flash and ActionScript 3.0. I am using the flash(.swf file) in my Java application.

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer. I have this ActionScript that reads the XML file into the flash movie. The poblem is this: The XML is in this format:

<stream len="-1" name="Test" start="0"/>
<group name="Testing"/>

This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.

How can I reliably iterate through a MovieClip for every child?
I'm working on a game and a great way to lay out my levels is inside a MovieClip, with each frame being a new level. The problem is that when I move on to frame 2 or 3 and try to iterate through the MovieClip's children, I'm getting a different number (less) than is actually on that frame.
I think it's because the instances from the previous frame are being carried over to the new frame.
A simple solution is to create a new MovieClip for every level instead of a new frame inside each MovieClip, but this isn't the most scalable solution (say I want to remove a level or add a level between other levels, etc).
I want to calculate the parsing time....

Is there a PHP library/class which provides parsing capabilities for Flash cookie files (.SOL) by any chance? I'm trying to avoid writing one myself :)
View 2 RepliesI have a php/mysql backend which allows user to enter descriptions in a form. The editor is the Innova editor and automatically turns <strong> and <b> tags into <span style="font-weight: bold;">. When I retrieve the xml in flash cs3 and output it in a textfield the text paragraphs and all spacing is preserved however, bold and italics etc. don't render at all.
Is there any actionscript code or 3rd party libraries I can use with my fla to get this to render?
just here and been trying to do this tut here on kirupa thats supposed to be introductory level, although I am finding it very difficult. Here is the link to the tut section I am particularly having issues with: [URL] Now, I have been at this thiing for about 8 hours today and for whatever reason, the xml nodes are not parsed though to Flash and placed on the Buttons dynamic text field for button titles as they should be. You will notice the tuts sample to see what I am trying to achieve here. I attached a zip of my files that I have been working with to get a grasp on this whole xml and Flash bizness.
Any of you dynamic guru's out there that can take a peek at my .FLA file to see where I am wrong in my code? I followed the tut word-for-word and nothing code-wise is jumping out at me or "red-flaged" as the reason for the buttons titles not appearing once the movie is published.

I want to display a list box in a different way. I have uploaded the image as well i.e., what exactly am looking for and how the list box has to look. I am parsing the xml data and it's coming fine in list box. but my requirement is the look n feel of list box.
Flash code :
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("news1.xml"));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
ParseNews(xmlData);

In my flash, the socket server returns some xml data that I need to parse, but it seems that the only way to start the XML object is with the XML.Load() which loads an external file, but my XML file is already loaded into a variable

var playerLocXMLOb = new XML(msg);

I have intercepted x-amf data being posted to a website from my computer by a flash application. I have the collected POST data in hex form. While some of it has translated directly to text, the rest is showing wierd symbols which probably means they're flash objects. How do I parse this data to get meaningful output outta it?
Basically, I need a script/program/anything that will take in amf data in the hex form, and output text and flash objects...

View 5 RepliesI'm having a problem parsing a JSON file in AS3. Im trying to parse multiple JSON arrays, but don't really know how to get to the next after accessing the first one. My JSON file looks like:
{ "term": [ {
"id": 4211,
"place": "NEW YORK CITY"
},
{"id": 2675,
"place": "WASHINGTON (DC)"

I can get the data from the first array, but how would I structure my code so that I could iterate through 2 or more "term" arrays?
i'm still transitioning from as2 to as3, i'm having trouble with parsing XML data to Multi dimensional array, below is the onComplete handler which is succesfully tracing 'event.target.data' but outputs 'A term is undefined and has no properties' when tracing _vein_data[0][0].xPos. I'm guessing there is a easier way to approach it than this attempt

I'm linking an XML document to a Flash file to control all sorts of things and it's going quite well until i tried to fill a dynamic text field with a paragraph of type from the XML document. I've done this a million times in AS2 and I've done it in AS3 using attributes, but this time I'm using childNodes. The dynamic text field is in a movieclip. When I tested it using this code:
var oneComments:String=xmlTestOne.firstChild.childNode s[num].childNodes[1];
oneClip.txtComment.text=oneComments;
...it sort of worked but I get the element tags along with the paragraph text.

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.
