I have a quick question that I am not 100% sure on. In my program I need flash to recognise if the object it is pulling in from XML is an: image/sound/mvie or animation. In XML the tag looks like this:
Code:
<mult_file type= "image" alt="alt text">intro.jpg</mult_file>.what I need flash to do is read the file type of it - I know how to put nodes in but how would I get it to find the type?
I have followed this tutorial [URL] but am using Adobe CS4 not CS5, have installed Adobe Air 2 but am still getting the error:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TransformGestureEvent.
now on my project as unable to get my code to recognise TransformGestureEvent
I've been looking for a tutorial that describes how to make it so dragable objects can snap together when one is dropped in the right place next to another, but so far I haven't had much luck. Does anyone happen to know of such a tutorial, or can post something here about how to do it?
For example, how do I make something like this: [URL].. and how do I make it recognise when all the pieces are attached together?
can i recognise a movement on a joystick with ascii codes???

I have audio placed into a controller on a page, however when i load different browsers the sound files are either no even seen by the browser or they dont work. Ive converted the files to wav. which apparently works universally for IE,Opera, Firefox and Chrome, however changing the file format does not change this situation. I know it has something to do with HTML audio tag or something but I am still unsure

I have a list of items in a database as well as images in a directory folder. I am looking for a flash app that can pull from the database to display the info and also the images and scroll this info vertically with associated links. I need to change this for each client by adding their unique "ID" in the code so their information pulls in correctly.

I have been failing to do a thing with Flash actionscript2.0; Here is the problem-
My xml file name is: sea.xml On my fla file, there is a button named: do; and a movieClip named: loader;
What I am trying to do is- load xml only when the button is pressed. So I tried this-
myXML:XML = new XML;
do.onRelease = function(){
myXML.load("sea.xml");
}

I am building a userinterface for some industrial instruments which output some data to a XML spreadsheet. This is the only way I can retreave these data's from the instruments.
Now, I need to make a flash that can pull out these data's from ex. "A1" and "A2" in this spreadsheet...
Here's a screenshot of the XML as it appears in EXCEL:

Code: Select all<?xml version="1.0"?>

I have a xml like so:

I loop through two arrays and im checking their data, i have collison working for them but I want to add more A.I. by making them stop when they are a certain distance from each other. so i need a way to pull EACH object that is in the arrays x,y, pos and use that data. my distance var keep bouncing all over the place...
THIS is my code:
//check events between 2 objects
function CheckEventsEnemyFighterFighter():void
{

P.S. i need some tips for my coding... like should have i used a break in these for loops?

I am pulling a blog into flash through an XML sheet. I have a clip in the library that gets attached per blog entry. The issue I am having right now is not all the posts are the same length so I am trying to adjust the clips background to the height of the post text box, but they are all reading as the same height so they aren't properly adjusting. I even have the text boxes set to autoSize = true;
Here is my code..the resizeBlog function is where I am trying to resize it and then I want to adjust its y property accordingly.

now i've got all the records of value $card (lets say 8 for this instance) pulled into this php page, how would i go about loading them into flash with loadVars()? for the record names, i used this line to originally insert them:
PHP Code:
$result = mysql_query("INSERT into ecard (fname, femail, tname, temail, message) values ('$fromName', '$fromEmail', '$toName', '$toEmail', '$message')");
I'm currently looking to use Flash to pull in two separate media files and to play them at the same time. From what I know about Flash, it's certainly possible to play two files, but is it possible to play files without embedding them in the Flash file?
View 3 RepliesWhen a flash player is being hosted on https server, can I pull content to play on it from an http server. Would this work or give a mixed content warning or some other problem?
View 2 RepliesHere's my problem. I currently have a Flash banner on my website that displays artwork I have made. However, it currently just shows jpegs that are embedded into the Flash file. Is there a way that I can set up a directory in my domain and just have the flash file pull these external images, at random to display? Also, it should be noted that it shouldn't pull the same image twice. That would look silly I would make the files all the correct resolution and size, so resizing is not an issue. I know you can do this sort of thing with javascript, but I want more control and a more stylish appearance.

View 2 RepliesI have a very simple website in flash, just some buttons and minor animations.I have a stop on frame 105, and the code for the buttons on frame 1. It's all there and recognised by the script assist, but won't show up if I debug OR test the movie .Finally it's recognised the "Stop();" function, but still not executing it, says "Error 1180 - Call to a possibly undefined method Stop." Really can't work out why it's doing this, read somewhere that it could be because of a corrupt library item, but I deleted all of them and the stop function still didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI have an HTML page called "mypage.html" with a form on it. The form contains a text field called "FName" and when submitted, it loads "mypage2.html" with a Flash file embedded within it.Using actionscript is it possible to pull the passed value "FName" to an actionscript variable. Previous threads mentioned the GetURL parameter but CS4 kicks it back saying it is no longer supported.I'm also a bit confused on whether actionscript can pull variables directly from the browser URL. I found a reference to the variables being placed in the HTML code that embeds the SWF file:<param name="movie" value="mySWFmovie.swf?myvar=heyyou" />'Why would this be the location to configure the passed parameters and not directly from the browser URL?

I created a file that pulls data from the worldofwarcraft.com serverstatus xml page.The data populates a dropdown list and you can choose the server and it tells you if its up or down. The mini app works great on my desktop, when I upload it to my server it no longer retrieves the data.
Is Bliz blocking my server address from recieving the data? Anyone know how to navigate around this. [URL]..If you want to test it grab the swf out of your cache and load it from your desktop, it will work.
I want to build a sort of pulled down projection screen thing using ActionScript.Basically the MC will come down with a picture on it.I have this starting code which doesn't work terribly well because it just moves the screen from top to bottom instantly.
Code:
on (release) {
do {_root.mcScreen._y+=1;
} while (_root.mcScreen._y<200);
}
Essentially I want the screen to smoothly scroll down into place over about half a second.
I would like to have a screen with multiple buttons and when the button is clicked different MC's will be imprted into the .fla file. For instance button 1 will import 1_MC, button 2, 2_MC, button 3, 3_MC etc. point me to a tutorial or give me a down and dirty example using AS3?
