ActionSCRIPT Problemo

=( Xml Problemo Or My Retardness Problemo?
i need a ----------->

hello plz

im so tierd with this realy.
i was following a tutorial that shows how to display xml txt in flash

so groovie i thought to myself
and tried to change somthing
goes like that

this is the xml file highly "simple" supposeably!

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<inventors>
<person>
<name>xxThomas Edison</name>
<style>Inventor of many things such as the incandescent lightbulb.</comment>
</person>
<person>
<name>boocha</name>
<style>a sweeter kind of dogo</comment>
</person>
</inventors>

this is the FLASH ac command:

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.inventors = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.inventors2 = this.lastChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].lastChild.nodeValue;
_root.comments2 = this.lastChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].lastChild.nodeValue;
name_txt.text = _root.inventors;
comment_txt.text = _root.comments;
name2_txt.text = _root.inventors2;
comment2_txt.text = _root.comments2;
//trace(not_set_yet);
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("inventors.xml");


i made 4 txt fields on the flash stage :
comment_txt
comment2_txt
name_txt
name2_txt


the xml info is showing only the first node and tottaly ignoring the other node-
_root.inventors2 = this.lastChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].lastChild.nodeValue;

Hmm... Another Problemo
how can you create a flash animation so that the computer randomly selects a number between 1-50 then you have to guess? If you guess 2 high, it will display "too high", if too low, the screen will display "too low" and if correct computer will say "correct!" and then ask you if you want to resart the game.

Big Problemo
Alright, my friend put me up to a "Zakum Simulator" test and I am running out of time for the bet. I have one major problem.

In the frames I have a "Die" frame for Zakum and it was working BUT what happened is in the code i wrote


Code:

if (_root.hp == 0) {
zakum.play(2);
}
and if you look closely I noticed why the "zakum" was restarting over and over again...

the hp is always 0 when dead lol.

if you know how i am able to get rid of this problem with the "death sequence" still in order please post!

Thanks!

Control = the main attack
just that basically *friend doesnt care for hp and mp >.>*
to hit just get near the arms or wherever around the clip and press control.

O yeh tell me if it looks good o.O. lol took me umm 1 hour to make lol >.>

---------------------------
Want any tutorials on something I may know just ask!! I may be willing to...

Popwindow Problemo
i am trying to launch popup windows from my swf file by attaching javascript to the buttons within the main movie and it seems to work on Macs okay but when i try to launch the popwindows on a PC, the popup window opens but the window containing the main swf becomes blank and it says the word 'object' in the top left corner. this stinks b/c then the user has to hit the 'back' button on the browser and relaunch my site.

this is the script i attached to the buttons:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('http://www.mywebsite.html','thewin','height=400,width=300 ,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')");
}


this is the script i put in the header section of the html file published by flash:



function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures){newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); }



one thing i noticed that was odd is when i published the html file it did not publish my urls from the swf file into the document where it says:

!-- URL's used in the movie--

it's completely blank!! anyone know why this may be? can i manually insert my url scripts? perhaps this is the source of my problem.

any advice is much appreciated

Hey guys

Second problem for the day - aren't we all lucky?!?

Preloader Problemo...
OK, me here again.
I'm using Flash CS3, publish setting: ActionScript 2.0 and player 9.

I'm using simple preloader as I do the same all the time and it is working fine.
here is the code in the 1st keyframe:

Code:
var ruthis = _root;
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = (bytes_loaded)/(bytes_total);

//this.mcLoadbar._width = getPercent*100;
//this.samZoy.mask._width=getPercent*442;
//+Math.round((bytes_loaded)/1000)+"KB / "+Math.round((bytes_total)/1000)+"KB";

ruthis.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"% ";

if ((bytes_loaded) == (bytes_total)) {
ruthis.gotoAndStop("start");
}
and 2nd keyframe:

Code:
gotoAndPlay(1);
the problem now:
when I'm doing test load...it is empty screen then just for a millisecond I can see the 99% (" ruthis.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"% ";") and then the main thing.
Well, where might be the problem guys?
here is the link with all files saved as Flash8 and FlashCS3

Combo Box Problemo...
In my last post, i thought was a list box, wrong.
Combo box...
And not sure, but i am thinking that the problem cannot be solved... :-(
Tried, to swap dephs and change focuses... nothing...
if anyone could help, would appreciate a lot! ;-)

here goes...
Can make the square move around without any problemo. But once i choose any topic in the combobox, the movement of the square, becomes weird. The buttons dont react as before the combobox interaction.

I just uploaded the code so u can have a look also, is hard to explain...
Just move the square around, then choose a topic from the comboboxes and try to move the square again. The buttons used to move the same square present a weird behavor.

Thanks.
Cheers.
Leo.


Code:
//list boxes
var cb_transport = new Object();
cb_transport.change = function()
{
m_op= m_u_transport.value;
trace(m_op);

};

stop();

Scrollbar Problemo... Anyone Please?
Hi there!
I am using this code to create a scrollbar in a text field in frame 1.
Everything is working nice.
But rather than just clicking on the arrows of the scroll bar, i would like that, when reached frame 20, it will scroll by itself.
I tried by adding 5 to the textBox.y but that was just moving the text block up or down. Wasnt SCROLLING at all! Just moving the text block.
Can anyone give me a clue how to scroll using just as3 ?
Thanks.
Cheers.
Leo.


Code:
textBox.htmlText = textBox.text;

//sets up the scrollbar
var vScrollBar:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();
vScrollBar.scrollTarget = textBox;
vScrollBar.height = textBox.height;
vScrollBar.move( textBox.x + textBox.width, textBox.y );
addChild(vScrollBar);
vScrollBar.update();

[F8] Code Problemo, Pls Help
What the hell is wrong with this code?
I created “imaginary” squares of 240b x 320h so I am moving a frame that will show me in which of these same squares i am on top off.
Lets say, if you click 32 times down, you gonna end on top of square 32 since I am creating an imaginary 7x7 matrix and i am starting from square number 25.
But when I am “clicking” up and down, it doenst work so well. The actual numbers change.
Any help?
Thanks.
Cheers.
Leo.


Code:
function up()
{
mc_all_areas._y = mc_all_areas._y +10;
trace("value of y: "+ mc_all_areas._y);
trace("Name of curr square: "+ _global.m_name_cur_square);

if ((mc_all_areas._y%320) == 0)
{
_global.m_dist_f_center++;
_global.m_name_cur_square = _global.m_name_cur_square -7;
}

Password Problemo
Hey guys,

I'm using the login/password thang I found in the library section of the site.

So, to show you guys what it looks like, here it is:


PHP Code:



auth = false ;for (i=0; i if (eval (_root ["user" + i]) == userName) {
if (eval (_root ["pass" + i]) == pass) {
auth = true ;
        }
} 




However, I'm getting this rather annoying error message:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 2, Frame=1: Line 1: ';' expected
auth = false ;for (i=0; i if (eval (_root ["user" + i]) == userName) {

So I guess I'm missing a semi colon somewhere, but I can't figure out where.

Any ideas? Thanx guys.

Confuddling Problemo
Hey,
Ive got a client that requires a website similar to http://www.stylewars.com/index3.html where you click on a link and it scrolls to that certain position... im sure you define the x and y co-ordinates of the certain sections but as im not advanced with AS i am stuck on how to make it scroll and goto the section etc.

Any ideas where i can get hold of a free script like this so i can look at the AS and learn from it, or even better a tutorial on how to do it, i checked on kirupa tutorials but couldnt find anything like it.. unless im blind! lol

Also a bit different to that... how do i make animations so it looks like writing is actually being drawn on to the screen if you get me?

Thanks.

Flash AS Problemo
Okay i'm re using code in my current project that i'm using. I'm making a new member registration form for a website that i'm building. I build an interface with a movie clip called joinForm. Within the movie clip i have my input components with the require instances. somehow i'm not getting that thing to work.



Code:
stop();

// --------------------<send from LoadVars>-------------------- \
var gatherForm:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

function sendForm() {
gatherForm.email_to = "ksuisa0607@gmail.com";
gatherForm.visitor_lastname = joinForm.userLastName.text;
gatherForm.visitor_name = joinForm.userName.text;
gatherForm.visitor_email = joinForm.userEmail.text;
gatherForm.visitor_origin = joinForm.userOrigin.text;

if (joinForm.userFreshman.selected){
gatherForm.visitor_freshman = true
}
if (joinForm.userSophomore.selected){
gatherForm.visitor_sophomore = true
}
if (joinForm.userJunior.selected){
gatherForm.visitor_junior = true
}
if (joinForm.userSenior.selected){
gatherForm.visitor_senior = true
}


gatherForm.send("http://ksuisa.org/send.php","POST");
}

// --------------------</send from LoadVars>-------------------- \

_global.style.setStyle("fontFamily", "Bitstream Vera Sans");
_global.style.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
_global.style.setStyle("fontSize", 12);
_global.style.setStyle("color", 0x000000);


//--------------------<submit button AS>---------------------\

this.joinForm.submitBtn.Submit.autoSize = "center";
this.joinForm.submitBtn.Submit.text = "submit";

onRollOver
this.joinForm.submitBtn.onRollOver = function() {
this.joinForm.submitBtn.gotoAndStop (2);
}

onRollOut
this.joinForm.submitBtn.onRollOut = function() {
joinForm.submitBtn.gotoAndStop (1);
}

onRelease
this.joinForm.submitBtn.onRelease = function() {
if (joinForm.userEmail.text == "" || joinForm.userName.text == "") {
gotoAndStop("error");
} else {
sendForm();
gotoAndStop("correct");
}
}
I saved as Inside Join just letting you know. I would love to upload the complete flash file but can't its a huge file that is beyond the max of what the forum requires. (76 MB) so if someone private email me their email address so i can send my file to you.
Thank you so much.

[MX] Easy AS Problemo
Hi All,

Well thanks to KIRUPA.COM I now know how to make scrollable window text, But here's the BUT .....

I'm trying to make the "Click Here to proceed" text in the portion of code below, clickable. Its in a scrollable window. How do I do this?????

More FYI:
The user must scroll down in the scrollable window and read all the content B4 they can click to continue, so I cant make it a button.

What the user should see is like a hyperlink that they click on to go to the next part ...

I need to know what code to put in to make the "Click Here to proceed" link to a frame in the main movie.



... listed in the graphic.<BR><BR><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="12" COLOR="#003366"><B><u>Click Here to proceed.</u></B></FONT>";
scrolling = 0; ....


Thanks for your help !!!!

Loadmovienum Problemo
Hey,

Here's a snippet of code:

client_list_mc.main_mc.main.pangea_media_btn_mc.on Press=function()
{
if(pangea_media_launch==false && external_start==true)
{

loadMovieNum("http://www.mysite.com/swf/swf_portfolio/21.swf", 1);

There are multiple parts that are just like this, each just loads a different swf i.e 20.swf, 21.swf, 22.swf. My goal is to load a new external swf when each of these buttons are clicked.

Everything fires fine as I've put in traces but when I add the loadmovienum function
'loadMovieNum("http://www.mysite.com/swf/swf_portfolio/21.swf", 1);' the entire movie locks up and the rollovers, rolloffs, and onpresses don't even work. I tried loadmovie before but I can't get it as I'm loading an external movie into a movie that's already been externally loaded.

can you only have a certain amount of loadmovienum functions? should i use unloadmovie(1) each time before the new movie loaded-could that have anything to do with freezing everything up.

could it also be because of the level i'm loading it into (1) should i put a higher number?

Preloader Problemo...
OK, me here again.
I'm using Flash CS3, publish setting: ActionScript 2.0 and player 9.

I'm using simple preloader as I do the same all the time and it is working fine.
here is the code in the 1st keyframe:

Code:
var ruthis = _root;
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = (bytes_loaded)/(bytes_total);

//this.mcLoadbar._width = getPercent*100;
//this.samZoy.mask._width=getPercent*442;
//+Math.round((bytes_loaded)/1000)+"KB / "+Math.round((bytes_total)/1000)+"KB";

ruthis.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"% ";

if ((bytes_loaded) == (bytes_total)) {
ruthis.gotoAndStop("start");
}
and 2nd keyframe:

Code:
gotoAndPlay(1);
the problem now:
when I'm doing test load...it is empty screen then just for a millisecond I can see the 99% (" ruthis.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"% ";") and then the main thing.
Well, where might be the problem guys?
here is the link with all files saved as Flash8 and FlashCS3

Code Problemo, Pls Help
What the hell is wrong with this code?
I created “imaginary” squares of 240b x 320h so I am moving a frame that will show me in which of these same squares i am on top off.
Lets say, if you click 32 times down, you gonna end on top of square 32 since I am creating an imaginary 7x7 matrix, and i am starting from square num 25.
But when I am “clicking” up and down, it doenst work so well. The actual numbers change.
Any help?
Thanks.
Cheers.
Leo.

Code:
function up()
{
mc_all_areas._y = mc_all_areas._y +10;
trace("value of y: "+ mc_all_areas._y);
trace("Name of curr square: "+ _global.m_name_cur_square);

if ((mc_all_areas._y%320) == 0)
{
_global.m_dist_f_center++;
_global.m_name_cur_square = _global.m_name_cur_square -7;
}

}

function down()
{
mc_all_areas._y = mc_all_areas._y -10;
trace("value of y: "+ mc_all_areas._y);
trace("Name of curr square: "+ _global.m_name_cur_square);

if ((-1)*((mc_all_areas._y)%320) == 0)
{
_global.m_dist_f_center--;
_global.m_name_cur_square = _global.m_name_cur_square +7;
}

Go To And Play Problemo
I am unsure as to how to direct a button that is inside a movie clip within another movie clip, instructing the original movie clip to go to and play a certain frame......................er..........if that makes any sense

I understand that if I tell the button to go to and play a certain frame it will do so within that timeline.

I need to instruct the button to play a certain frame (1505) on the timeline of the movie clip the button is embedded in.

If this makes sense to anyone please help me out!!!
