Flash :: Pull The URLRequests Back Out Of The Array?
Feb 16, 2010
I have a bit of code here that pulls, at random, 50 images from a file and pushes them into an array. I now need to pull, at random, 350 times from the array. I'm using a timer in place of the for loop to grab the images from the array. My code works fine as long as I do not use an array and I loop the images straight from the file. But that's very slow and bad form. I think I can do everything except the .load of the array. I can't seem to make it work. I'm getting errors that say "#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" or "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type flash.net:URLRequest". I think I get the point of these messages, but I cannot seem to figure out how to pull the URLRequests back out of the array.
var imgLoader:Loader;
var imgSource:URLRequest;
var imgArrayer:Array = new Array();[code]......

is there a simple way to just pull back a true or false value from an associated javascript file to a flash file? here is what i have:
Code:
var bincheck:Boolean = fscommand("eval", "parent.check_bins(\'"+img+"\')");
if (!bincheck){return false;}
return true;
check_bins(img) is a function in my javascript file that simply iterates through an array, returning false if "img" is found. im simply trying to get the true or false value back into flash, but its not proving that simple. i added a couple alerts so that i could see what the "bincheck" value was, and i keep getting an 'undefined' value for "bincheck" in flash.

An other XML and Flash question. How do I change my URLRequests by XML? My problem may be something else, but this only happens when I use the XML variable..
URLRequest by XML
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
/*OUTPUT

i have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

I have an array of image width values pulled from XML. I want to simply look at the array and return a value that is equal to the highest number in the array. e.g. the array might end up like array [250,600,350,375]and I just want something that returns the highest value (in this case the 600).

I have a list of functions inside an array.I want to pull out the names of these functions as they are written in the array, and display them through the trace.Easy? All I get is a 'type function' ...from what I thought would be as simple as this:::
Code:
var func_ary:Array = new Array(doThis, StartMe, etc);
trace(String(func_ary[2]));

I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Front-end -> SWF (Zip Code, Weight, Size) -> *Calculates* -> Front-End
That should be the flow.. So I need to send data to the backend, GET the data that it calculated, and return the results to my front-end.

I am working on a having external swfs get loaded into the main swf one by one from an array.I can get the first one to load, but it just keeps on playing the first item in the array over and over, instead of loading the next movie. I have a container on my stage, cleverly named "container" and I am using AS2 and loadMovie.
I am guessing my conditon on my if statement is off, but I am not sure how to tell the onEnterFrame to check the currentframe of the loaded swf and not the container itself. I might be way off, but in my mind I feel like this mostly makes sense, but knowing Flash it is probably not nearly enough coding.I might also add this won't be running on the web, so I don't need to worry about preloading swfs since it will be running directly off a PC onto a screen in our office.Here is my code:
Code:
var myClips:Array = ["movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf", "white_logo.swf"];
var i:Number = 0;
_root.container.onEnterFrame = function() {[code].....

I have an array which contains 3 Movieclips. I would like to Randomly select 2 of these Movieclips (and them not be the same Movieclips).Then I would like to pass those 2 Movieclips into a function that is setup to receive them as arguments. I'm lost and am not having success trying to concatenate the Movieclips with [i].

I'm trying to load 3 images to background in a sequence, like 1 second for each one, after a click,but i'm having a problem, i only see the last image but it seems that it loads successfully all the images, it seems that it only loads the images before leaving the function as the event.complete for load says.
It is possible to see the output of the urlrequests in a loop inside a function?
Code(cutted some function code for the post)
Code:
function processaOpcao(event:MouseEvent):void
{
while( i <= 3)

I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it. Two arrays - movieClipArray 1 and movieClipArray2 I want to duplicate movieClipArray1 entirely so that when I addChild(movieClipArray2[0]), it doesn't take away from movieClipArray1 or reference it in any way.

I think that you can do this using html but if you have a PDF in your root directory will Flash be able to link to bookmarked pages in that document?

I have a selection menu that I can select multiple items and item names are saved in an array. I also have a deselect button that delete all the items selected. To delete items, I have tried:
var errorSelected:Array = [];
errorSelected.splice(0,errorSelected.length);
I can see them being deleted in trace, but whenever I click on the menu item again, the old list items come back everytime. Do I need something else to completely cleaning it up?

I'm working off the XML photo gallery tute found here: xml_flash_photogallery.htm. My wish is to have the array loop forward and backwards, so by clicking next you will eventually get back to the first value, and if you keep clicking previous you will eventually see the last value in the array.
I found some Scotty code (first line in the nextImage function) that enabled this function with the next button, but I can't figure out how to use it for the previous button.Here's the code:
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};[code]....

I downloaded a flash spread gallery [URL]which uses a xml file to designate the pics to be used. It is very cool but it is kind of a pain as I have to manually type each pic name in the xml file. Is there a way that I can modify either the xml or the fla to just pull the pics from a folder? Maybe two folders one for the pics and one for the thumbs?
I would like to just dump a bunch of pics in a folder and their thumbs in another and have it automatically just post them.Attached is the fla and the xml (and a .js file) zipped.flashmo_185_spread_gallery.flaflashmo_185_photo_list.zip

Is there any way to pull down the source code for a page using actionscript 3?
For example, it goes to google.com and downloads the source code for it, then stores it in an array or string. Would URLdownloader work?
How could one do this?
