I'm trying to load some XML into flash to populate some dynamic text fields. The problem I have is that some of the xml tags seem to be ignored by flash.Here's the XML I'm loading:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><xml>
<node>
<nid>2</nid>

Is there a way to load ID3 tags in AS3 without loading sound?
View 3 RepliesFirst, I'm having issues with loading ID3 tags. I can load the tags of the file currently playing, but how could you load the tags for a playlist that is selectable? The MP3 player runs on an XML file that holds the URLs to the MP3 files themselves. All other information is extracted from the ID3 tags. Do you have to load all of the MP3 files to get at their tags? Or can you JUST load the tags themselves? Will it slow down your stream? Etc...how best to build a playlist from ID3 tags.
Second, I'm having issues with the playlist buttons themselves. I need to build dynamic-text buttons that, upon clicking, will play that file. The play-on-click functionality I can do...but I can't seem to make them "clickable."
Basically, I have a XML file similar to:
<Main><Event><Name>Blah</Name>
<Event><Name>Blah2</Name><Event>
<Name>Blah3</Name>
...
</Event></Event></Event></Main>
Yeah, to some extent it's poor design. But the idea I'm going for is that any Event has the potential to compromise of other Events and this idea kinda loops. How to do this?
I'm importing an XML document into a flash movie. The XML is using HTML tags so that I can highlight certain words and use HTML links in the text field the data is being loaded into.
But the issue I'm having is that all of the < and > tags and all information within it being displayed within the text field.
The text field's html property is true. The text field's multiline property is true. In the XML document, the text that I'm having load into this text field is separated by the CDATA tag so that it doesn't get parsed out.
I just can't figure it out. Before I used the CDATA tag, I put all the necessary < and > tags in place, and I'm getting the same results.
I don't know why everything is being displayed even though I'm rendering this text as HTML.
Code:
var RootNode:XMLNode;
var contentXML:XML = new XML ();
contentXML.ignoreWhite = true;
contentXML.onLoad = processXML;
contentXML.load("about.xml");
function processXML(success:Boolean):Void {
[Code] .....
When I test the above my XML loads properly into the holding MC. My problem is that it is also showing all of the XML tags.
For some reason, my XML code below is loading EVERYTHING in the XML file including the tags, unicode...everything.
[Code]...
I find it hard to think of a way to load a specific part of my XML when I press a specific button. I'll try to explain this as best as I can:
I am working on an App in which you can chose a character from a big list. When you press lets say character A you get a popup with info about character A. There is a button in here that will popup the art related to this specific character and this art will be added in unique movieclips so I can use each movieClip in a for loop to create an infinite scroll. Now the problem is there are 80+ different characters (and increasing every 2 weeks) and each character has an average of 4 arts, so giving them unique classes and solving the infinite scroll this way would generate A LOT of code. So I started thinking lets use XML. how to load just or show just the images related to the character you pressed.
I was thinking dividing the XML up like this:
PHP Code:
//XML
<CHARACTERS>
<CHARACTER A="URL" />
[Code]....
But how can I determine, at the specific press of a button, to load the unique part of this XML?
Wow that was a lot of text I hope I kinda made myself clear, and if I didn't I'll add some drawings to try to be more clear

I have HTML file, I changed its extension to .XML.I'd like to convert HTML tags to valid XML document using AS3.
View 6 RepliesCan someone point me in a direction for using HTML in as3? I have a project in which I want to load HTML content so that others in the office can author in HTML since they are very familiar with it. It would have to recognize many of the most common HTML tags. Is this easily done or would I need some sort of add-on?
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if flash can load html document, the way browser displays it.
View 1 RepliesI want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
i was creating my portfolio using xml gallery script from this site. the thing is that it loads one picture at a the with a preloader between each load. is there a way to load the first image and keep loading the rest so there will be only one loading time? here is my action script:

I have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.
I need some help? Anyone experience this problem before with IE8 FLASH bug? Can not get this to work on all subsequent refresh to the flash. I have a flash piece which simply renders only on the first initial load. After that, if i refresh or visit the page, it does not load correctly. It seems I am having this problem with the swf only on subsequent loading of the page or whenever a refresh happens.
View 1 RepliesI have an SWF that's 30MB. Sound files (music) make up 25MB, art and other things make up the remaining 5MB.
Would it be possible for me to load the 5MB of necessary art and other things first to allow the user to operate the app, then after that's all loaded and they are operating the app, load the remaining 25MB of sound files in the background?
UPDATE: Loading SWF (or other entities) externally is not an option.
is there any way I can dynamically load a mp3 and have a loading bar? or preloader?
View 6 RepliesI have an xml file that contains the ip values (2) to our servers, what I want to accomplish is: 1st read the xml and grab those values, 2nd randomly select one of those ip's and create the rtmp://...path to play the video, 3rd if one of those servers is down then use the other one to play the video and 4th if all servers are down display some sort of message to try again later. I am reading the xml and grabbing those values, I am randomly selecting an ip and creating the rtmp://...path, but where I am having problems is playing the video from the other server. What's happening is that when it hits the box that is down and swithes to the other box it actually show the first frame of the video but it doesn't play. Here is my code in my .as file:

first, I need to show an <hr/> tag after the description, its an rss widget so need to seperate with each rss post with a border or hr. Its not possible to make it manually because its came from xml. I'll give you the existing script with me.
second, I need to add utm tag after the urls to trace the clicks, this is actually I need to add after the links 'utm_source=rsswidget', you'll get an idea by seeing the script below
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void

I have a master page that gets all its images from a table on a database, and I am trying to incorporate flash, for banners, but I can't quite seem to figure it out.Right now there is a:
<asp:image id="headerimg" runat="server"> and that generates the appropriate img tag needed to show an image in html. Now I would like to know if there is any way where I can generate an object tag if a .swf file is present and populate the tag with width height and data and also not show the img tag.
I now have made a usercontrol that will create the object tag, but can someone please tell me if it is looking like I am doing it right..
