I am building a project where i have 4 mc's each on their own frame with individual labels.What i am trying to figure out is how to have one selected in a non linear order when the next button is clicked. E.g. Im on frame one, the mc is done playing and i click next.instead of going to frame 2 i want it to randomly select a label located on either frame 2,3, or 4.
View 2 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..
suppose i receive some data from php separated by commas. Like:a, b, new, data...these will be in a variable say "files". Now, i receive the var and i have to show the names of the files in a vertical list. Like:
a
b
new
data
And also they will be a link to some php file or any such thing. how to do this?
I want to know if any one have a tutorials or a code, of how to create flash generators.
an Example: allow the user to type whatever in the blank space, and then generator into a graphics or a certain spot..
I currently have a list that I'm using to hold text so when an item in the list is selected the text is displayed in a text box along side it. I want to have the first item in the list to be pre-selected so the text for that item is already in the textbox when it is loaded.

I have created a list control with the instance name "dependents" and populated it with labels and data. MultipleSelection is set to true.
I would like to print the labels in a comma-delimited list.
I have used the following code...

which yeilds the following when there are two items selected...
[object Object],[object Object]
way to access the labels in these objects in the case of a multipleSelection
I have a list component on the stage of CS4 called ans1Sec2 (this is for a test) I am able to load the list dynamically and when the user clicks on one of the list items it highlights. What I need is the ability to save that item they selected so when they go back to that question (review mode) the answer they selected is highlighted. I am able to get the evt.target.selectedItem.data and save that into a var, but how do I get that item and make it selected on the list component when they are in review mode?
View 1 RepliesI'm developing a Flash interface that needs to pass a multi-select list to PHP from AS3. I have a similar interface programmed in HTML and JavaScript, and due to the quirks of PHP I use a series of like-named hidden fields to store the data. The fields are named, for example, "my_ option_text[]". The use of the square brackets in the name somehow identifies to PHP that this is an array and it treats it as such. I've had no problem using this method to send data to my PHP processing page and have been able to save it correctly. Now I'm trying to use the same PHP save page to process the data from Flash. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to configure my URLVariables class properties to appropriately pass an array that will be identified as such by PHP. I've tried simply assigning an array to an appropriately named property of the URLVariables class, but the PHP only recognizes one item, not all items. I've tried using the same naming convention as that I use in HTML/JavaScript, but the square brackets aren't appreciated by AS3.
I can't believe that I'm the first person to encounter this issue. If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to resolve this I'd appreciate it. I did try searching these forums but only found one case discussing PHP arrays, and that was sending data into Flash, not from Flash to PHP.
To select all the items in myList I wrote:
myList.selectedItems = ['red','cyan','magenta'] ;
But what if I don't know about the items in the mx:list in advance? How can I select all the items in a list without specifying their names?
In Flex 4, I have a Spark List component with item renderers. I would like to select an item in the List by clicking on it, and deselect it also, by clicking on the same selected item. Like an on/off switch.
My item renderer has the following states:
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal"/>
<s:State name="hovered"/>
<s:State name="selected"/>
</s:states>
so I tried to add a click event listener to the item renderer with:
private function selectUnSelect():void {
if (currentState == 'selected') currentState = 'normal';
else currentState = 'selected';
}
with an awkward behaviour... where the item stay selected even after clicking it again in the selected state.
Think of using the List component without the Command (on mac) or the Control button on windows.
i have a spark List control. it has a dataProvider that shows reply from twitter search.i have created a function for change handler like this:
protected function list_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
{
ta.text = coverflow.selectedItem.title;
}
so, whenever i select each of the items in the List i will see the message(ta.text)but now, instead of me manually clicking the first time, i want it to automatically click/select the first item and see the first message(ta.text)how do i do it?
I set my list to allow multiple selection. But when I load data in my list, I want to set a few items as selected. Normally you can set only one item selected by using list.selectedIndex. It only accepts int. How can I set multiple items as selected?
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a way to randomly start an ordered list of SWF's. Well, that's not all I have my main SWF calling up external SWF's. I have 2 groups of external SWF's. From my main SWF Actionscript, I want to randomly play one SWF in Group A and continue cycling through Group A (in order) until it is finished. Then I want to randomly start playing one SWF from Group B and continue cycling through that list (in order) until the Group B is cycled through. Then repeat Group A (random start, but staying in order), etc.
Does this make sense?? I realize it's a challenge My current ActionScript works for Group A to randomly select and play in order, I need it to stop after it gets to the random starting point again (so it doesn't repeat) and start up Group B (which isn't in there yet)

I have a spark List defined as:
<s:List id="symbolList" dataProvider="{symbolListCollection}" change="symbolNameChangeHandler(event)"></s:List>
With the change handler defined like this:
protected function symbolNameChangeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void {
symbolList.validateProperties();
changeSymbolView(symbolList.selectedItem);
}
and symbolListCollection as an ArrayList filled with Strings.
At first, the change event works fine, and I get what I expect.
However, if I Ctrl-click on the selected item, to de-select it, i am unable to ever select an item again.
When I click on something to try to select it, the change event DOES fire, however, the ItemChangeEvent has both oldIndex and newIndex set to -1
i'm trying to repopulate a list when you select a new category from a drop down component.
So far i can populate the category drop down and i can also populate the list box from a default dir but i can't seem to get the list to change when you select a new category.
this is the category script that populates the drop down (this is working fine except that when i change the category i want the list box (bgList) to repopulate with the new location files):
ActionScript Code:
loadCat ="textures";
if (_url.indexOf("http") != 0) catFilepath = "xxxxxxx/backgrounds/";
else catFilepath = "xxxxx/backgrounds/";

I've taken a few Flash classes, but this is the first I've really been exposed to hard coding things into the stage area.
I'm working on a game, and I need to have the game randomly choose one of four movie clips to add to the stage after a given event. (ex: Mouse click)
The four movie clips are BoostUp, BoostDown, BoostLeft, and BoostRight.

View 6 RepliesCurrently I work on localization for a Flex application. From an article I know that you can control the localization with the following FlashVars:
-resourceModuleURLs

Are there any other FlashVars reserved by Adobe that a Flash/Flex Developer should know about?
Is there any way I can get a list of all the classes in a particular package?
I know getDefinitionByName, getQualifiedClassName, and getQualifiedSuperclassName in flash.utils can find me a class, but I can't find anyway to find all the classes in a package at runtime.
I am currently trying to develop an application in Flash.Currently I am working on trying to contact a webservice to get a list of course names.I am getting the results but I cannot even parse them. In the schema for my Web Services Connector, it prepopulates to say that it expects the results to be ArrayOfAnyType.So I have this code in my on( result) call:
Code:
var x:Array = this.results;
var y:XML = x[0];
trace(y);[code]....
Now, when I try to go through that XML object and print values using this script:
Code:
var children:Array = y.childNodes;
for(i = 0; i < children.length; ++i)
{[code]....
From what I have gathered in the help menu, Flash has two types of XML nodes, a node, and a textNode.nodeValue will always be nukll for a node but on a text node it will return what you would expect and I don't know that I can convert between the two or force it one way or another.I don't have a clue why it is like that but apparently that is how it works.What can i do to get this data in?
Is there some way to get it to parse as an array? As far as we can tell, it should be going from the webservice as an Array, SOAP should convert to XML and then Flash should decode back to an array... it doesn't seem to be working that way though.
I have this:
Code:
function onAdd(e:Event){
