How do I remake my swf for xml commands? "Remake" sounds silly, but I just want to have integer values updated by an XML file. This may be beyond my understanding. I'd like an example, a mash-up, or method I can work from.
myThoughts
- It needs to read XML "parse it etc"
- variables receive e:data instead "my struggle with passing values and function calls"
XML
//XML
<head>
<seq_no>text</seq_no>
</head>

I am trying to find the sum of one column's timings which is like '00:00:00' format. I am splitting the time string at ':' and storing into an array. Then trying to add array1[1] value to array2[1] value. Here I'm not getting type casting logic. I'm getting an error when I give int(array2[1]) += int(array1[1]) .
View 2 RepliesI want to have a dynamic integer reference.
For instance
ActionScript Code:
var heart:int = 5;
var stalker:int = heart;
[Code].....
Obviously stalker traces as "5" while "heart" is "7". However, I need to make stalker a pointer reference to heart.
when I try to type cast something, there r 2 ways to do it:if var integer holds a integer (Uint)
text_txt.text = integer as String;or text_txt.text = String( integer );
but sometimes when I want to pass a value to a function both ways don't work and only one way works, when should I use option 1 and 2???
How do I convert an integer to a string value? This must be easy. "Ya guys in SO are da best at explaining." I'm still working on these dumb counters.
NEED TO JOIN THIS TOGETHER
//My counter project "sends to dynamic text field"
var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0

I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.
[Code]...
But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.
In actionscript 3, I have a user enter a number into a field and this field is supposed to be for a cash value. How do I make it so that if for some reason they put say 20.956, it would round up to 20.96?
View 1 RepliesI have just started working with PHP and MySQL together with flash and so far everything has been going brilliant. I am working on making a game which stores it's variables in a MySQL database. The problem is numbers. When PHP sends numbers back to flash, they don't seem to work properly. Full explanation what happens:
The guy on the stage in my flash movie uses the variable p_speed to control his movement speed across x and y axis when pressing arrow keys. On the database it is stored as 12. In the flash movie, at the start, it is 8. Now, everything works fine, and Flash even receives the variable 12 from PHP just right, however, my character starts jerking about e.g. when I press the left arrow key he disappears (probably very fast movement).

I need to create a map of the U.S. that looks at a MySql database and highlights the states that have store locations and makes them buttons, and leaves the states that don't have store locations gray without button actions.
I understand how to create the individual states MCs with a gray state (no button) and a button state. I just need to know how to turn "on" the states from a MySql database.
I created some flash photo galleries for a friend using .xml to load the images. My friend is now asking if there is a way to automate it so that when he puts an image into the "images" directory on the server, it would automatically recognize that and edit the .xml file accordingly to add the photo to the gallery.
View 0 RepliesIs there a way to programmatically set flash to make sure it is the most updated copy of the swf? Let me see if can be clearer as I really don't know how to ask. Say I am building a movie and I just changed it, I open my browser and see the old version. I have to clear my cache to get the updated version. Is there a way of making flash "clear its cache" so to speak? I tried googling "SWF updated ActionScript" or variations of that, but calamity ensued.

View 13 RepliesI'm building a Multimedia Player front end and we have some action features we'd like to include. Some of the features are like: add to favorites, bookmark and rating.
For rating and add to favorites I just need to some how send a variable with the value to the server. Do you have any tutorials and or suggestions to approach this?
I don't need to know how the back end works, i just need to know what to pass in the flash and how to send out the updated variable back to the server.
What is the easiest way to have a dynamic text field display news that has been updated via a form? PHP? what is the easiest to intergrate with action script?

I wanted a suggestion from you guys regarding drawing and scrolling performance. The requirement is - I have to draw a graph with sound volume's values updated at 30 fps. And I need to draw this graph and simultaneously scroll to fit in the new values. So the length(width) of the graph is unlimited.

View 2 RepliesAs a developer I don't really follow the updates in the CS5 tooling progression. I have been asked to 'take care' or getting some adobe licenses for the Flash IDE.So, my question is this. With the recent announcement of Flash 11, does that mean the CS5.5 author tool will be updated to handle output to Flash 11? Or will there be a CS6 out shortly to handle this.Does anyone have a rough idea or when CS6 is likely to be released (just a quarterly estimate will be fine)..

View 2 RepliesI am writing a web application that will serve as a configuration for a random data generator that I have written in Java.The values that I set in this application will write to xml. The xml data is updated by a file called simulationParams.as and that file is added to each child in the "viewStack" so that when I change any of those values the simulationConfig file will be automatically updated.The problem is that when I press the randomizeBtn the proper events are fired and the listeners grab those events.My problem exists when I uncheck the randomize button.For some reason an event is triggered or the listener isnt listening so that when I uncheck randomizeBtn the values go back to their last position or value on the slider. Ex. if my initial value is 0 then press randomize the slider will go to 100. The config file updates and all is well.When I uncheck the randomizeBtn, the sliders value goes back 0 but the config file isnt update.The same thing happens when I press the useDefaultBtn for both selected/unselected, nothing gets updated.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a Spark List container whose dataProvider is bound to a result set coming back from a RemoteObject call. Pretty standard stuff.
<s:List id="list" dataProvider="{model.stuff}" width="100%" height="100%"
selectedIndex="@{selectedSlider.value}"
itemRenderer="{stuffRenderer}">
</s:List>
The selectedIndex is associated with an HSlider, but that is not the problem. My issue is that I would like to automatically select a certain "preferred" element from the list (only initially...to guide the user).
I tried to do that in a creationComplete event but my data hadn't shown up yet...setting selectedIndex didn't work..
I have a datagrid in my Flash app whose data keeps updating quite frequently.On every update, I need to change the cell color of only those cells whose data has changed.That too, if the updated value is less than the older value then the cell color should change to RED else, GREEN.I have tried using labelFunction, cellrenderer, etc. But to no avail.By no means, I am able to access the present data in the cells to compare it with the new data.

View 2 RepliesI have two MC's on stage,
MCmenu is a button array,
MCtext is a collection of text with frame labels. It's labeled as MCtext
The menu buttons tell MCtext to play the frame label as the button clicked. This *used to work*, but Flash was laggy as hell so I updated it. Now the same code returns #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MCmenu/itemClicked()
Code:
function itemClicked(butn:Event):void {
parent.MCtext.gotoAndPlay(SomeArray[butn.currentTarget.label);
}
I've tried just using a frame number, but still the same #1009
I've tried the Script Assist to target the MC on the stage:
using root.MCtext... still the same #1009
using this.MCtext... returns a #1010
This is just a simple problem, i have two integers (for example)
var myInt:int = 3357;
var myOtherInt:int = 10;
Then i ask flash to trace myInt divided by myOtherInt
trace(myInt / myOtherInt);
And in the output menu i get 335.7 as the traced number and i need to get an integer which would be 335.
I'm working on a game were your health variable will add 1 hp automatically every second if the health variable is not equal to 100. How would you do that?
View 1 RepliesSomehow I cannot get the value of an integer inside a for-loop.
I define the vars like this:
ActionScript Code:
public class Fig2 {
private var a1_m1:int;
[Code].....
This gives me a: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type int."
Is there a simple way to test whether an integer is odd or even withing a conditional statement? Example:
ActionScript Code:
if (integer /*insert code that checks for odd or even*/){
/*execute whatever*/
};
I've just seen a statement like this.
Code:
if (_root.map._width>"3000") {
_root.map.larger = 0;
}
Why 3000 put in quotes. Does it consider as a string on this expression?
Are there any plans to upgrade the SDK to version 8 or 9 or release a updated flash version for the Wii. It's ridiculous that Adobe has not done this already considering the sheer volume of people using the Wii web browser.
