I need to parse and display the value for variable VALUE in xml to the screen but read from the file continuously instead of
once. The XML file is being created dynamically so its getting larger but flash only displays first value for variabel VALUE.
Is it possible to read/write data to and from Access with Flash in a offline format? I need to create a stand alone system that users can log into and pull information from - but it will not be networked or have any sort of internet connection.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

The main part is where I have created the variable: IconGif... it reads a portion of the xml file and turns it into a rference that will eventually relate to an instance name of a movieClip. I was going to use:
ActionScript Code:
this.attachMovie(IconGif,IconGif,100);
to place the item on the stage to whatever the xml says that day,
My problem occurs because the function I have used to create the variable, clashes with the attachMovie function and I receive the message:
TypeError: Error #1006: attachMovie is not a function.

Whatever that means but when I try to call the variable outside of the function, it doesn't know what I'm no about, because as far as it's concerned it doesn't exist, but only when the function is being called. I'm not the wisest with XML and calling up data...
I have a function that makes an array and I am trying to read the contents of the variable outside the function but it keeps giving me the result as undefined.
I know there must be a simple solution to what i am attempting to do.[code]...
Basically, imagine two classes, for simplicities sake I'll call them classA and classB they are in the same folder, same project, and all variables have been called as public.
In classA there's a variable, for this example I'll call it speed (its called something else obviously as speed alone turns blue so its a reserved word). It is made and updated in classA for it's current value
classB handles the array to move things, and needs to reference what speed is so it knows how much to move each object each tick.
How do I allow classB to look in classA and see what the current value of speed is?

View 1 Repliesin a flash template i found several buttons with almost the same action script code. on pressing the button a window popup with different text (for each button a unique text). the following code is in the code section of the buttons, only the two last codelines are different for each button.
[Code]...
so i think that the input of the unique text for each button is handled in the last line "_root.READ = 22". i also found in the bibliothek the belonging text parts. my problem now is that i dont know where the connection is set between the text part and the array/variable READ. in this case the connection is 22, but i dont found any property in the text part or in the property of the button where the connection is set to 22. i use flash cs4.
