The aim is to get the flat xmllist out of a xml: each item of the xmllist would be a descendant (not just child) of the xml. This way I have all the nodes of an xml inside the xmllist.
For example:
XML=
<a >
<b >
<b1/>

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 RepliesNot sure why, but when I export my movie as a PNG sequence (using Flash CS4 or CS5), the colors in the resulting PNGs are very washed out and flat. I have imported some graphics with alpha channels from Fireworks.I have tweaked all the export settings that I can find. The filter type is set to "none," smoothing is off, and the color mode is 24-bit with alpha channels. No dithering or interlacing. Always looks muddy and flat, and gradients have banding that isn't present in the original. I've got CS4 on my PC and CS5 on my Mac, they both give the same bad result.
I'm doing this as a workaround for CS4/CS5's compromised QuickTime export (export framerate is not maintained), so this quality issue is pretty disappointing. Anyone have a workaround for this workaround? Here's a comparison of the Flash workspace (left) and exported PNG (right) from CS5:
Is there such a thing as taking a screen, copying it to bitmapData and then angling it as if in 3D perspective... in AS2 ? I know AS3 in CS4 can do this, but I am stuck working in AS2. I've used Bitmapdata before, but only for 2D manipulations.
View 2 RepliesI think it would be cool if the line started out as flat (i.e., y=_height/2 for all points) and then the y points of the line animate into place.I don't even know where to start with doing this in TweenMax/Lite... I've seen several code snippets that draw a line from left to right, but that's not what I want.
View 6 RepliesI maintain a website for a company that creates popUp displays for trade shows. Here is a link [URL]. I am pretty advanced in Flash and AS3, so I'm planning to make a utility for visitors to the website where they can take their picture(logo) and choose a few options and this will generate a render of what their display could look like.
I'm not sure even where to begin with distorting an image to fit a wave style display. We make renders often with maya, but we don't need flash to look THAT good, just an idea so people don't keep making basic mistakes like making their text unreadable. I just want to put flat designs and dynamically slap them on these fabric displays!
When using map3d, the default marker creation is always perpendicular to the viewport. How can I create a marker that lays down flat against the map? I can't use GroundOverlay because it becomes overly tiny when the map is zoomed out. How can I create a matrix3d object that will rotate/scale/skew my Marker's foreground DisplayObject so it remains flat against the map when in perspective mode?

I have a flat circular texture in a bitmap for a project I am working on. Its a texture generated with the perlin noise functions. I wish to extrude the centre of the image using displacementmapfilter so the circle appears to be a 3d sphere. There will be no animation on the sphere. I'm not getting anywhere with it though, My code is below with my broken implementation of the displacement filter.

I am trying to skew an spark Image object using a matrix. The problem I am having is that it only effects the top angle. I think it may be related to the position of the image (x and y). The top angle is prefect but the bottom is flat!
Here is a bit of code:
//imgA = pixles down from top left coord, I used arctan with oposite over adjacent to get a radian angle
//size
openImage.width = imgW; //say 200
openImage.height = imgH; //say like 300

What I want is to create a 2d/flat site wich is larger than the normal screen size... for easy viewing I want the site to move related to the mouse movement so that when you drag your mouse left the entire site kinda moves to the right, and by that permits the viewer to browse the site without using the scroll bars. It should work like the example in this link, but not only horizontal, but also vertical...

I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I have a flex client connecting to a web service that needs an authentication token added as a header, named "Identity". An example of the expected message is[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have created a site that calls in text from an external .txt file. The text file is a flat file that is updateable using PHP. What I need is for the Flash site to reflect the current contents of the text file each time it's updated through the PHP interface. I'm using the standard:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
text_txt.text = this.blog;

I did get it to 'kind of work' at one point, but the output text would flash 'undefined', then show the contents of my text file, then go blank then start that loop over again. Not acceptable.

difference between XML and XMLList in my example code? I am passing a node to the function and extracting the url of the file:

I am trying to parse some XML i have retrieved via e4x in an HTTPService. The loop works and for each episode in the list it goes through the loop.

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.
I am working with an XML list at the moment, which looks like this:
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="3"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="4"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="5"/>
