SWF Bug List?

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,
Stephen.

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

List Box Help
I have a listbox and i need to load a text file (that has variables in it) when someone clicks on a certain item in the list.

For example:

Its a store list

So...

Entry 0 = 100 Mile House


There are the following text fields

TextAddress
TextHours
TextStore
TextPhone
TextManager


And i have these declared in the text document for each store.
The text file is 100mile.txt

Im curious how to go about using the listbox as im new to flash (but getting better), I usually dont ask for help unless im completly stuck because i prefer to learn on my own heh.

Another problem

I want the text file to load multiple variables.

100mile.txt contains -

TextStore=Name

TextAddress=Addy

TextHours=STORE HOURS
MON TO FRI - 7:30am ~ 6:00pm
SAT - 8:00am ~ 5:00pm
SUN & HOL - 9:00am ~ 5:00pm

TextManager=Manager: manager

TextPhone=Parts: (555) 555-555
Fax: (555) 555-555


-

It will only read the first variable. Any way to tell it to read all of them?


Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone providex with my situation.

Set URL From List Example
I downloaded the sample files for working with video from macromedia: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/...behaviors.html

Theres a sample where the movies play from a populated list component. There's 2 main parameters in the listbox: data and label.

What I'm trying to do is to populate this listbox component from an XML file, and I can do it, I can get the list to populate from my XML file using the XML connector component and binding it to the listbox component, but once I do this, the videos don't play.

The actionscript on the button to play the movies point to the selecteditem.data, where it looks like "data" is the "data" from the component parameter, but for some reason I think this data parameter isn't being populated when I bind the component to the XMLconnector.

Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

XML -> List
ok...heres my problem, i solved my last post on my own...i got all this information loaded from an xml file...lets say this is what my xml code is:

      </clip>
   </video>
....
</xml>




well, i want to populate a list on the left side with just the names without using the list component...i want to be able to click on the item in the list and have the description show up on the right side...how can i do this? i already have the names and descriptions stored into arrays...lets say name:Array and description:Array respectively...my first approach was to print the names into a dynamic text box, but i dont know how to make the text a button then...please help me!!!

XML List
Dear people,

I'm working on a kind of news section for my website. The goal of it is that there are two sections: one with dates and one with a text area. When the user clicks on a date then in the text area the news appears.

Now, I found a really good help at flashkit (I have encluded it here). However I simply can't get It modified to what I want.

- How should I make it possible in this clip that instead of linking to another page the movie shows a description of the link in a text area?

It would really be a great help for me if someone could help me!

On forehand thanks,
Yours faithfully,

XML List
Hi, Bit of a simple one here, just can't figure the syntax.
I currently have a listbox being populated from a simple xml file:

<staff>
<name>sharon</name>
<name>paul</name>
</staff>

This is being read into the listbox using the following code:

var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

myXML.onLoad = function() {
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(i=0;i<nodes.length;i++) {
myList.addItem(nodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue,i);

}
}

myXML.load("http://localhost/~digitalpencil/staff.xml");

I now wish to include a link url so a picture displays when an item in the list is selected.
I have updated my xml to the following:

<staff>
<member name="sharon" img="images/sharon.jpg">
<member name="paul" img="images/paul.jpg">
</staff>

How would I update my actionscript to reflect this so an image would also load into a imageholder-clip called thumbMC?

Any advice is really appreciated, thanks.

Top 5 List
I am working on a web tool that guides users to appropriate links, based on their selections and criteria. I would like for the first frame of this Flash movie to be a "Top 5" list of the links that the tool guided users to. Essentially, everytime a user uses the tool and clicks on the link provided, that link would get a point. The "Top 5" list would display, in order, the links that have the most points.

I know how to do this using PHP and MySQL, but I'm a little hazy doing it with AS. I don't need the script written out for me (but feel free to, if you feel so inclined), but rather a few tips on what I should search for in the help files. What functions or properties would a "Top 5 List" like this have to use? I can use either a MySQL database or flat file (like a txt file) to store the "point" count, as security is not an issue with this project.

Any help, guidance, or simple hellos are much appreciated. Thanks!

Xml Url List (No List Box)
Hey guys basically I have a movie clip appending itself to the stage with a url button in that movie clip.

I want to be able to have those url buttons open urls that are defined in a xml nodes. However I cant seem to figuer out the for loop stucture to work with new url request. I can trace the different urls with:


Code:
trace(xmlData.pic.url[p]);
but how would I attach each of those urls to my buttons via


Code:
mythumbHolder.urlBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, urlClick);
function urlClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml crap here??");
navigateToURL(request,"_blank");
}
Im defining p as such, var p:int = 0; and in the function adding p++. But cant for the life of me get the urls to work

Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

XML List
Hi

I've got an XML that looks some thing like that

Code:
<data>
<a>
<clip Xpos="49" Ypos="103" />
<clip Xpos="104" Ypos="103" />
</a>
<b>
<clip Xpos="0" Ypos="0" />
<clip Xpos="0" Ypos="53" />
</b>
<c>
<clip Xpos="156" Ypos="104.1" />
<clip Xpos="102" Ypos="104.1" />
</c>
I need to access the attributes of a sub node using a variable. making the choice of the sub node dynamic.
I tried to use a variable to acess a diferent subnode each time. The trace is empty. If I dont assign a variable and use a node name, the code works.

Code:
private var xml:XML;
private var il:XMLList;
private var Rss:Array;

for (var j:uint = 0; j < Rss.length; j++){
xml = new XML(e.target.data)
letter = Rss[j];
il = xml.letter.clip;
trace(il);
Any ideas? is my approach wrong?
Thanks for your time.

List Box
I'm creating a glossary with 3 parts, the first is a list of words and their definitions in a dynamic text field with a scroll bar. The second is just the list of words in a list box. The third is a series of a-z buttons. I can make the a-z buttons scroll the dynamic text field to whereever I want using "setScrollPosition".
I want to be able to click the list box and have the dynamic text field scroll to that word and definition. I've tried different functions and "if" loops but none of it seems to work. I've also applied a value to each entry in the list and have been able to get the definition box to move to that line value, but then its stuck on that variable number!
Can anyone help?

List Box Or Not?
Hi,

I have a list of links, like a table of content. After clicking on one the selected swf opens.I'm using XML and I thought the best way to present the table of content is a List box. Am I on the right path? And second, I did a little digging and in every case I saw there is no word wrap. Is it possible that in a List box?

THX for your help

From List Box To List Box
Hello everyone,

I'm creating a sort of search/sort thing using XML and List Boxes. It's three list boxes, when a selection in the first is chosen, it populates the second box based on the choice, and then when a choice is made in the 2nd box it populates the third based on that choice. The choices are being pulled from an XML doc.

I'm so close to having it working. I can get the first to populate the 2nd but not the 2nd to 3rd. I know it's just something with the syntax, how I'm referencing the node I need and how I'm using the listener. It's all running together in my head at this point.

This is in Flash 8.

Here's my AS:

Code:
var RootNode:XMLNode;
var selectedCategory:String; // formerly selectedGallery
var selectedCompany:String;
var categoryPosition:Number; // formerly photoPosition
var companyPosition:Number;
var CategoryNode:XMLNode; // formerly GalleryNode
//var OptionNode:XMLNode; // formerly PhotoNode
var CompanyNode:XMLNode;
var searchXML:XML = new XML();
searchXML.ignoreWhite = true;
searchXML.onLoad=loadSearch;
searchXML.load("searchBoxes.xml");
stop();

var CBOListener:Object = new Object();

And a snippet of my XML:


Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<searchList>
<category categoryName="Name">
<firstOption optionname="A - D">
<secondOption optionname="Abba">
</secondOption>
<secondOption optionname="Brown">
</secondOption>
<secondOption optionname="Darcy">
</secondOption>
</firstOption>

<firstOption optionname="E - J">
<secondOption optionname="Evans">
</secondOption>
<secondOption optionname="Green">
</secondOption>
<secondOption optionname="Jackson">
</secondOption>
</firstOption>
So when the category "Name" is clicked in the first box, the choices "A-D, E - F" and so on show up in the second. Then when "A-D" is clicked the names Abba, Brown and Darcy should show up in the third. This is where it breaks.
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!

List
hi everyone,

I want to make something. I just don't know what to call it (or how to search for it, sice i don't know how to call it). It's like a list of words (alphabetical order) and an input textfield. When you put a character in the textbox, the list will select the first list-item with that character. When you put in a second character it will go to the first entry with the first 2 characters, and so on. Can someone push me in the right direction?

thanks
