Help Updateing User List



Hi guys,

I'm creating a small xml-chat applet and i could really use some help. I'm trying to figure away to make the applet update the list of current chatters whenever someone new logs in. So far I have a php script which deals with the reading and writing of the xml files. I can pass the required data to and from flash and php without a problem, but what i cant seem to figure out is how to update the list for all chatters currently logged in.

Has anyone tried this before and do you have any suggestions that i could try.

Flash Timer Display / Updateing SetInterval();
Greeting Yall,

I am creating a timer for a game we are building here at work and i am having a tiny bit of a display issue.

I was wondering if there was anyway to force a number varible to be two digits? So "1" would allways be "01" and "2" = "02" ect.

anything would help.

[CS3] User List With Photographs
Hi All,

I am very new to flash, flash has been something I have been wanting to learn for ages, but have never really sat down and learned it.

I just last night purchased 'Flash CS3 for Dummies' as well as a book called 'Learning ActionScript 3.0', I do not know if these are good resources, but I guess time will tell.

Anyways, I have somebody I am trying to help, but the job seems a bit out of my reach at this point, I am pretty sure it is possible.

What I need is something that will display a list of people, along with a photograph. When you select a person, another list in the same manner replaces the list you just looked at, with a new list of people.

Basically lets say Joe Smith is the CEO of a company, I click on his name, and I get a list of people under him. Let's say he has 5 people under him, and I select person 3, the list then changes to show people under person 3, and so it goes on and on and on.

I currently have a data grid, which with the help of some code uses a php file connecting to a mysql database, and brings up the main list of names. I am now stuck in trying to make it work that when you click on a name it then looks for people under that name in the database.

If anybody has some guidance and / or experience on this I will really appreciate the help.

Thank you,
ChildOTK

User List Problem.
Hey, i'm making the online drag racing game: 2qRacing. I seem to have ran into a problem making the userList for the online chat community, im making the users PM'able, but there are several problems which are:

The clickable MC for the users dont add for each username online.

This problem I have I think is seemed to be caused by a array which is trapped inside the flash "FOR" loop. So if anyone knows how to pull this off, then heres my Action script code:

[Location: _root.userList]:

Code:
_global.users = new Array();
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {
fl = this.userList;
_global.users = fl.split(",");
c = users.length;
for (_global.i=0; i<c; ++i) {
duplicateMovieClip("pm", "pm"+i, 0);
setProperty ("pm"+i, _y, "30");
trace(users[i]);
}
};
lv.load("http://68.102.62.109:8012/2qRacing/chat/testing.php");
Then heres the pm movie clips code:

[Location: _root.userList.pm]:

Code:

uname.text=_root.userList.bleh[1];
the things inside this movie clip is:
1 textbox (instance name: uname & and the variable: _root.userList.users[_root.userList.i])
... someone please help... if your wondering the code of the php to further help you then heres that also:


PHP Code:



<?require_once("db/db.php");$userList = array();$result = mysql_query('select * from c_users');$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {$name = $row['username'];$room = $row['room'];$userList["$name"] = "$name";}ksort($userList);$list = implode(",", $userList);echo "userList=";echo "$list";?>




And the SWF, and FLA are attached. Please help this is a very urgant situation.

Fl.controls.List: Bug Or User Error?
Create a new AS 3.0 fla
Add a List component to the stage - name it "theList"
In the parameters panel, add 4 (or more) items.
Paste the code below in the actions panel:


Code:
import fl.controls.List;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.accessibility.ListAccImpl;
ListAccImpl.enableAccessibility();

// I expected this line
theList.selectedItem = theList.getItemAt(2);
// or this line, to set the internal index to 2
theList.selectedIndex = 2;

theList.setFocus();
theList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onListChange);
function onListChange(e:Event)
{
trace("You have clicked: " + theList.selectedItem.label + " in row " + theList.selectedIndex);
}
stop();
Run it.

The 3rd item (index 2) appears selected in the UI - all seems well.
Press the down arrow to go to the 4th item in the list. Oops, what happened?

Expect:
4th item (index 3) is selected.

Actual:
1st item (index 0) is selected.

Internally, it seems, the object thinks it's index is still -1 when the Keyboard event arrives.

So, how do you make sure that not only the UI looks correct, but internally, the component remembers it's selected index?

thanks,
Mark

Chat Room User List And Time Stamp?
Hello,
I have developed a php flash chat with animations and sound and would like to advance it a bit. I am looking for some input as to how to go about adding a user list and timestamp for posts. Here is the chat.....
http://caveart.tv/fc/Chatcave.swf

For the user list, would it be correct in thinking I could use a log in feature and transfer the log in variable to a textfield as a user list. But, then, how would I update that textfield when users left the room?

As for the time stamp, I believe I can just add code to the enter textfield to add a time and date to the post, but any other suggestions welcome.

Thx in advance for any input!

User Input Form - Problem With Drop Down List
I have a simple form which includes a drop down list.

After selecting from this, I want to use the selection to send them to the appropriate frame in the movie.

I also want the text input to spawn to a dynamic field (this is working).

When the button is clicked, the information from the drop-down list does not show in the dynamic field, but the text from the text input does.

What am I doing wrong.

Code:

confirm_btn.onRelease = function(){
people_txt.text = people_grp.text;
}
confirm_btn.onRelease = function(){
age_txt.text = Number(age_inp.text);

people_grp is the drop down list
age_inp is the text field

I have tried to attached the file, but it is too big (580KB), so if you need to see it, please tell me and I will send to you via email.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Double Click User-rendered Item In List Box
I am trying to implement a double click event with a TextField located in a user-rendered List control. I have set doubleClickEnabled on both, on just the rendered TextField item, and just the ListBox. I have found that I need doubleClickEnabled set on the TextField in order to get any type of event fired.

Here's the problem. I actually have to triple click to get the event to fire. This is because the first click actually selects the item and then the double click event will fire after two more clicks. I want it so that I only have to double click. I had this working fine in AS2 but can't for the life of me get it working with AS3.

I tried using just a CLICK event, but that always fired after a single click, whether the item was selected or not.

Any thoughts on how to make the event fire with a double click instead of a triple click when the item isn't previously selected?

User Levels, Cell Phones, And User Registration, Plus Cookies
I need to quote a client on the following and need to know how much work is involved, ie hours. The programming may be done in PHP (unless its easier to do it all with AS), and the so the .swf needs
to talk to other files on the server.

Requirments are as follows:

1. contact form that: validate form, generate email, generate SMS for cell phones

2. registration form that: validates form, checks record, stores record if new, creates and sets cookie so they don't have to login next time, re-directs to appropriate page, sends email confirmation, deletes record if bad.

3. "extranet": validate i/p, check group (user level), send to user group destination


I just need to know if this is a simple couple thousand dollar thing or a complex many thousand dollar thing.

I can't guarantee anything (I don't write the cheques around here), and depending on the complexity of it we may be looking to subcontract some of it out.

Email me directly at: jonny@northstudio.com if you can be of any help.

Load Xml Data(list Of Names), Use List As Buttons In Flash Possible?
Hi, basically I have a quiz game that I made, the quiz is done but I want to keep track of how many times a person has failed the quiz. I have an XML file that has a list of names. I want to take those names, put them in a quiz game (at the beginning) as a "list" of some sort and let the user be able to choose their own name (which is of course already in the XML file). This name will be used to keep track of how many times they have tried the quiz.

I have successfully loaded the XML file (names) into an ARRAY in Flash but how can I output them to the screen AND let the user be able to choose those from the list? as a button? This will add the count after they clicked their name to +1 and then save it to somewhere(where is best?). I will attach the zipped files (there are 4, the fla,swf,2 XML files[quiz/names]). If anyone can help me ASAP it would be awesome.

Debug > List Objects + List Variables ...
I am testing my flash movie within the flash application. I go up to the toolbar while testing and select 'Debug > List Variables' and then 'Debug > List Objects'. This displays all the variables and all the objects in the trace window. Fairly straight forward!

What I want to do is access these variables and objects at runtime while viewing my flash movie within the browser. So I can make a text field in my movie and populate it with these variables and objects BUT how do I access these from the flash movie ? There must be a way to get the output from 'Debug > List Variables' and 'Debug > List Objects' at runtime and dump it all into a text field on screen.

Can anyone assist please,
Thanks,

Converting Bulleted List To Numbered List
I'm trying to put out a list of questions for a test. I'm also using a stylesheet to format the way the text is displayed. This is the way the list should look like:

1. question#1 text.............................................. ......

2. question#2 text.............................................. ......

If more than one line of text per question, it continue on the next line indented. The text for each question needs to be looking like a block of text. The same way a bulleted list displays.

This format can be created by using the <ol>, <li> tags in HTML. But Flash doesn't recognize any style formats for the <li> tag. Only a bulleted list is printed out. How can I format that list into a numbered list? or if not how can I create the same output, keeping in mind that I have to use a stylesheet? Thanks.

(Flash MX Or 8) List/List Component Issues
Hello all.

I recently completed Kirupa's "Creating a Listbox" tutorial, (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/listbox.htm) but have been having a difficult time modifying the event attributes of each list item. Basically, I want to click on an item and have an object on the stage move to a unique xy coordinate. I can get the object to move already (object._x = object._x +10, but unfortunately ALL items on the list execute this script command. I've tried fooling around with the code to get each item to do a unique movement but...well, clearly I haven't succeeded yet.

I'm a Flash nooby and help in the form of specifics would be greatly appreciated. If you can provided modified code from the tutorial to move an object to a unique positions that's even better.

Thanks.

List Component. Help. Looked Everywhere. Button And List.
Trying to use a list component and a button. When user selects something from list component and clicks button it takes them to new page, if user doesnt select something from list and hits button, (this is where my question lies) I want it to do nothing and setFocus to list component.

Here is how I am going about it now: New if statement (however it still transfers user if nothing is selected from list component) How can I get it to not transfer? I have tried rewritting this many ways, searched all over the nets, and Nada.


Code:
var arUrl:Array=["/browsecategory.aspx?cat=1","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=2","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=3","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=4"];

var provider:Array=[{label:"Option 1",data:0},{label:"Option 2",data:1},{label:"Option 3",data:2},{label:"Option 4",data:3} ];

mcList.dataProvider=provider;
var obj:Object={};
obj.click=function(eo:Object)
{
var count:Number=mcList.selectedItem.data;
getURL(arUrl[count],"_blank");
trace("count="+arUrl[count]);
}
but.mcSubmit.addEventListener("click",obj);/////here is where I am sending off
if(mcList.selectedIndex == undefined) {
setFocus.mcList;
}
So this thing works perfectly, however if user hasnt selected anything how can I get it to not transfer and setFocus?

I have tried setting if to check it for - 1 (since starts at 0) set to 0? Any ideas please help. Thanks in advance MT

'list' Event Of List Component
oops i mean 'change' event of list component

Hi guys/gals. Ive made an xml/list component driven mp3 player as can be viewed at http://www.flashmatics.co.uk/blog/sa...mp3player.html

When someone selects a new song from the list that songs starts to play. Everything is working fine.

I now want to add an extra bit of functionality i.e When one song finishes i want the next song to start playing. But this means I have to tell the list component that a change has occured as well (even though there has been no user interaction to cause this 'change'). How would I go about this. Here is a snippet of relevant code.


Code:
mySound.onSoundComplete = function():Void{

//from here i need to tell the component a change has occured and to move it
//to the next song in the menu
}


//create a listener for the list component
var compListener:Object = new Object();
list_comp.addEventListener("change", compListener);

compListener.change = function(info:Object):Void{
//how do i get this to move to the next track?
}
Thanks for any help in advance. I dont actually need the whole code or anything but rather a point in the right direction..cheers

Loading XML List Into RMP List Component
I have several XML lists to load into a RMP List Component List Box.
I was told the code should be like:

myButton.onRelease=function(){
myList.load(String(search.text));
}

So I made a button and named the instance "myButton"
Add the list component called "myList"
The XML files are named test1.xml, test2.xml etc.

I tried variations of:

myButton.onRelease=function(){
myList.load(String(test1.xml));
}

Result....

Nota

I think I may need a Listener or I am not sure...
Can anybody please advise me what I am doing incorrectly?

List's "CellRenderer_upSkin" Displays In List Items (BUG?)
Hi Everyone,

I'm having a huge issue with with the CellRenderer_upSkin displaying on the a list component's items:

http://www.davestewart.co.uk/temp/combobox.gif

It's supposed to display a border round the entire list, but bizarrely, it's also used for each of the list elements... so effective end result is that the up state has a huge border.

I'm sure this shouldn't be happening. Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

This is my first production job using AS3, and I'm falling at the first hurdle which is very annoying.

Cheers for any help,
Dave

Greetings,

I am sure that you have answered most of my question a thousand times, but here goes.

First let me begin by saying I am completely new to flash 6.0 (er, and Flash in general).

What I wish to accomplish:

A very simple intro, with an MP3 playing throughout the movie. In the movie will be 10 - 12 images which fade in, remain a few seconds, then fade out in sequence.

If anyone would please point me to a web tutorial which would help me complete this little project it would be greatly appreciated.

New User, Could Use Some Help..
Alright. I've recently been playing an online flash game, called Adventure Quest. I was told by one of my clan-mates that I could run the game through Flash MX, and make my leveling process a bit faster. I've downloaded the program, but I'm now clueless as to how to actually open the game with Flash MX, let alone how it will benefit me. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions you guys would be willing to offer.

I finally made the jump from Live Motion to Flash so I have some learning to do!!

I want to know if you can control one movie clip from another movie clip's timeline...not from the main timeline. I just want a simple gotoAndPlay action when mc1 reaches it's end and it needs to trigger the beginning of another mc. In LM you could do that by using _root before the action. Is there something similar in Flash that will accomplish this?

Thank you, Al

Where Was The User Last?
There are several MC's in this nav. In order for it to work, I need to know which MC was last selected. I was told this works:

var lastSelected = movieClip

and then say something like if lastSelected ==instance name, gotoAndPlay

Has anyone done this?

I'm a new user and don't know where to go from here.

I want to the only the VOD application at the moment.

How to I set it up so that if I go to a web address (http://www.mywebsite.com/sample.fla) it will stream the file?

Sorry this is such a basic question and thanks in advance for your help.

New User Needs Help With If Else
I'm new to action script and programing. The problem I'm facing is how to create a if else statement. I have a lot of buttons that when rolled over, a larger image appears. All the buttons are on the same layer. I was wondering if there is a simple way to create an if else statement that allows the buttons to come forward when being rolled over, that way, it's not underneath any of the other images. I want to apply this to all the buttons. Any help is greatly appreciated.

New AS 3 User
I'm new to Flash, even newer to ActionScript 3.0 and I'm going out of my mind. I have a FLA file with 5 buttons on it. I want each button to open a new popup window that has been made using five other FLA files than animate the information for each specific button. Is there a way to do it simply, without javascript? I know...nothing is easy in ActionScript!! I don't even know where to start looking in the Help file. Any help someone can give me would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

New User Needs Help
Hi All

I'm a new user to Flash and have to complete a Flash piece for a job interview by Monday so I'm panicking a bit now.

All i'm trying to create is a simple contents menu using rollovers. I want the movie to jump to another screen when rolling over and jump back when rolling off. I have created all the screens as static images in Illustrator and want to use invisible buttons in flash to jump around the static images. The reason I have done it in Illustrator is I am very competent in the program and havnt time to get used to flash's drawing tools.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance...
