Data Integration :: How To Parse Data And Assign Variable To Text

Jan 30, 2007

I have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively
(caption0,caption1,caption2).
My xml file is structured as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<captions>
<caption>Roll over this</caption>
<caption>This is the first Caption.</caption>
<caption>This is the second Caption.</caption>
</captions>

I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed.

CS3 : Automatically Assign Variable Names?

Jan 27, 2010

I'm working on a project using google maps. For part of it the user must enter coordinates and click a button in order to add a marker to a map. The code I have written so far allows this to be done once:

play_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, submitdata);
function submitdata(e:Event){

ActionScript 2.0 :: Assign XML String Value To Variable?

Jul 22, 2009

I'm in the process of building a thumbnail image gallery using actionscript and xml. I have an array in flash that loads in the XML data and then assigns each node from the array to either a movieclip, dynamic text field, etc. My problem lies in trying to assign a variable (in flash) to the value of my URL from XML, which in theory should simply grab the URL string from my XML file. Keep in mind, everything works fine except for assigning a string value from xml to my variable "linkVar" in Flash. Please pay close attention to "linkVar" in the code that follows.

ActionScript Code:
XML
<images>
<pic>
<image>images/flower.jpg</image>

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assign A Reference To Another Variable?

Feb 14, 2010

ActionScript 2.0 :: Assign A Variable To Listbox?

Aug 13, 2007

I used Digitalosophy's tute to create my Flash form using ASP to write to an Access DB with 1 deviation. In addition to 5 text inputs I used a Flash component list box. It is the only element that is passing empty data to the DB. I have both label & data fields filled out and I am using the following AS on the submit button

on(press){
loadVariablesNum
("processForm.asp",0,"post");
gotoAndStop(5);
}

I am guessing I need to use AS to assign a variable to the list box component as it only has an instance name field, unlike the dynamic text fields. Not having any luck googling the correct syntax though as most examples are of querying a data base not writing.

Ie: if variable ON (Ontario) has a value of 1, then when I zoom IN on Manitoba I will use an IF statement to determine that Ontario is currently zoomed in (ON has a value of 1) and will zoom Ontario out prior to zooming in Manitoba. When I zoom out Ontarion I will reset the ON variable to 0. My code for Ontario looks like this[code]...
