Best Way To Pull Data From Xml
I'm creating a simple xml based image viewer. The xml lists the thumbnails and large images and the FLA reads it in and then loads the appropriate images.
That works fine but I'm wondering if there are better ways than what I'm doing.
Here is the code for loading the xml and putting the thumbnail names into an array:
Code:
var thumbs:Array = [];
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("images.xml"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onload);
function onload(e:Event) {
var pics = new XML(e.target.data);
loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onload);
for each (var item in pics..thumb) {
thumbs.push(item);
}
trace(thumbs);
loadThumbs(); //function that puts the thumbnail images in a container
}
Notice the for each...in loop. It puts the names of the thumbnails into an array.
My xml also contains two other node collections: <large> and <caption>.
Is there a simple way to create arrays from their values as I have with the thumbs?
In other words, can I loop through the entire xml tree and put the <thumbs> in one array, <large> in one array and <captions> in one array?
Does this make sense? I guess I'm trying to figure out what's efficient.

Pull Var From XML Data
Hi,
I've been given a bit of AS to to modify but I'm having trouble with one thing. I'm trying to define a variable from an XML document. The variable would be pulled from the last value val6. I really know very little in depth AS, I can get the value to be displayed in a text field and to trace but not as a variable I can use elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Attach Code
xmlData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
for (var i:Number = -1; this.childNodes[0].childNodes[++i]; ) {
var cNode:XMLNode = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes;
var val2:String = cNode[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue ? unescape(cNode[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue) : unknownVal2;
var val3:String = cNode[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue ? unescape(cNode[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue) : unknownVal3;
var val4:String = cNode[3].childNodes[0].nodeValue ? unescape(cNode[3].childNodes[0].nodeValue) : noLink;
var val5:String = cNode[4].childNodes[0].nodeValue ? unescape(cNode[4].childNodes[0].nodeValue) : noLink;
var val6:String = cNode[5].childNodes[0].nodeValue ? unescape(cNode[5].childNodes[0].nodeValue) : ShowoffURL;
infostruc.push({art:cNode[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue, info:val1, info2:val2, link3:val3, link4:val4, link5:val5, sitesURL:val6, loaded:false});
}
loadStat = "";
init();
} else {
loadStat = "Unable to load XML Data";
}
};

How Do I Pull XML Data By A Node Name?
I am new to Flash and XML so I hope I am not asking a completely dumb question. I have figured out how to retrieve data from and XML file by the node possition but now I would like to know how to pull it by a specific node name. Here is what I currently have:
on (rollOver)
{
myLot = 1;
_root.myInfo = _root.myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[this.myLot].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
With XML file like this:
<SectionOne>
<Lot1>
<Lot>1</Lot>
<Price>$450,000</Price>
<Status>Active</Status>
</Lot1>
<Lot4>
<Lot>4</Lot>
<Price>$389,000</Price>
<Status>Sold</Status>
</Lot2>
</SectionOne>
What I would like is to pull instead of childNodes[this.myLot] to pull the node named Lot1. The problem I have is I don't always have consecutive lot numbers and I don't want to have to build in blank xml lines for a placeholder. I hope that makes sense.

Pull And Read Data From A ComboBox
I have a comboBox that uses php to read a directory for a list of images. Each one of those images displays within the comboBox as "Sample Image1.jpg".
I would like to add a listener to ditect when that name is selected and then display other information within text boxes accordingly.
My code is flawed somewhere and any help on this would br great.
Code:
image_cb.addEventListener("change", showStats);
function showStats(obj):Void {
email_box.text = obj.target.selectedItem.data.email;
phone_box.text = obj.target.selectedItem.data.phone;
The code does not kick back errors, it just simply does not preform the function... keeps kicking back "Undefined"
thank you in advanced
Pull Data From LoadVars Object
This is my first post so let me begin by greeting you all
Hi all!
My question is:
How can I access all loadVars data returned back from a server?
After sending some bogus data I can see in the debug variable window:
Variable _level0.myVars = [object #230, class 'LoadVars'] {
nick:undefined,
pds:"request.forms",
password:undefined,
onLoad:[function 'onLoad'],
<html> <head> <title>Form2pds result</title> <basefont face:""Arial"> </head> <body><h1>Request stored</h1> <hr> <p>The request has been successfully stored as <b>RQ000022</b>. <p><hr></body></html>"
}
What I want to achieve is to access the part after "onLoad:[function 'onLoad'],"
So I would like everything between the <html> and </html> tags
Is this possible?

Any good tutorials or instructions on how to pull in dynamic xml content (Got the xml loaded but it only shows the first record)-- for example, I have it laid out to display 1. title 2. story 3. author but only shows that info for the first record.

Duplicate/loading MC Problem Using XML Data - Im About To Pull My Hair Out
I am about to pull my hair out over this. Been looking at this code for weeks and I just can't figure this last part out. I'm very close!
I have a gallery that is being loaded via XML. Thumbnails are loaded and when you click on one of the thumbnails a larger image loads in a mc above and a second image loads in a mc below. Almost everything in the gallery works fine, except I cannot get the second image that is supposed to load below to load in the data from the XML when the thumbnail from the menu is clicked on. Right now it will only load in the first image and if I click on any other images I just receive the error "error opening URL file...undefined"
I have checked my XML for errors, but everything looks good so the problem has to be in the code. This is my first workings with XML and I am still trying to wrap my head around how some of this works.
Would someone be willing to take a look at the code and see if they can spot what my problem is? I've attached both my XML and my .fla to this post. Also, I know my code is a mess as I have been messing with it for so long so my apologies.
Frame 1 code:

Request: Simple Way To Pull Label Or Data From Combo Box
Hi,
I have been searching all over for a way to get the data from a combo box, or the label, or anything.
I am using the 'Flash Based Email Form using PHP' located on this website. So, from that, how would I add a little combo box to that form, with about 5 options. Then have the email.php send off whatever was the selection in that combo box be sent in the email.
I tried adding the labels and data fields to the combo box then naming it something like cbName. Then reference the variable in the php like
PHP Code:
$leintype = $_POST["cbName"]
then later on for $message I put:
PHP Code:
$message = "Name: $nameType: $leintype ";
and so on. But that just did not seem to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im Going To Pull My Arm Off
Greetings all.
I have a problem. I'm working on a client project that he started and really shouldn't be using flash for, but it's too late for that now. It's a catalog for a cd-rom with over 500 items. He wanted me to originally just add another 150 items to it - by duplicating the last frame, replacing the images , and changing the description manually. No code whatsoever. I was stunned. The FLA was over 200mb.
To the point: I am rebuilding the content area dynamically since I don't feel like cutting and pasting for 3 weeks straight. Everything works groovy - except the images. They will not load. I'm using loadMovie, since it's a cdrom I won't need to have a preloader or anything. He originally built the movie on a Mac with MX, and I am on a PC with 2004.
While debugging, I noticed that the placeholder mc's will load swf's just fine - but jpg's will not show. If you move the jpg's from the root folder, you get the 'cannot find alsdkfasd.jpg' error, so I know it's looking for it - but it won't show up when everything is where it's supposed to be.
I saved the fla's as mx 2004 - so shouldn't this work now? What am I forgetting? HELP!!!!

I Want To Pull The Trigger...
I have a swf file containing 3 scenes:
1. preloader
2. game
3. results
After the bytes are loaded the movie plays the scene "game". No prob so far.
Now I want to make the movie go to the next scene("result") when the variable "score"=0.
I tried the following:
I made an MC "trigger" with the as inside and placed it on the scene game. The actionscript in the MC "trigger" is:
if (score==0) {
stopAllSounds ();
gotoAndPlay ("results", 1);
}
The sounds do stop but the movie does not jump to the next scene "results".
I also tested:
if (gameover==0) {
stopAllSounds ();
_root.gotoAndPlay ("results", 1);
}
Can you guys help me finishing my swf.

Pull Down Menu
hey, i have a problem with a pulldown menu. if you go to http://eclipsegfx.com/oor/oor.html and mouseover the "media" button, you'll see my problem. What i've done is i made a movie clip with 2 frames. one is the menu closed and the other is the menu open. i have added various actions so that it does this... it shows frame one and stops. then on roll over, it goes to frame 2 and stops. but this isn't working because it goes back to frame one as soon as you move the mouse off the area that the menu originally takes up. anyone know how to fix this? thanks

Ugh I Can't Get A Button To Pull A Url.
How frustrating, After im done w/ this project i think im just going to stick w/ flash 5. I'm getting tired of relearning flash, its not very fun.
before you would just select an event for your button, Onmounse press, geturl blah blah blah and then you could specify a target. Im using flask mk2004 and i can't get it to pull a url to the frame i want. nothing is wrong w/ my frameset everything is named the way it should be. I would tell you what i did, but im soo freakin lost it just isn't funny. I just don't think it should be this hard to assign a url and a target to a button.
Any help is appreciated.

p.s just incase you want to see what i did here it is. I checked it for errors. . . no errors but no results either

Can I Pull Images From Outside An .swf?
I have a folder with over 500 images. I was wondering if it was possible to reference these photos based on a variable or ASP without actually loading them into Flash. Thus only 2-4 images would load per page.

Using GetURL To Pull From API
Hello,
I am working with an elearning project. I am able to successfully send SCORM data using getURL in the format
getURL("javascript:doLMSSetValue('cmi.core.lesson_ location",'5')")
and everything works perfect. However, when I try to retrieve the data using
location=getURL("javascript:doLMSGetValue('cmi.cor e.lesson_location")")
all I get is a blank window with the result of in the window. The title bar of the window has the javascript call on it.
What should happen is the course launches and communicates with the API. So in the course page 1 should be content, press next button and page two has content, etc. The problem is page 2 is going blank like I described. This only happens retrieving the data.
Does anyone have any idea? I can post my javascript functions if they are necessary.
Thanks.

Pull Down Menu
I have used the combo box component in flash mx to create a list for navigating. I know i'm missing something really simple, but how do i use the "data"/"handlers" to go to different frame labels depending on what the user chooses from the list??
I understand how to jump to different urls
how can i change this script to use gotoAndPlay ("a frame label")
function handler(instance name)
{
getUrl(instance name.getSelectedItem().data);
}
i know these questions are really basic - this is the first time ive ventured outside of basic label jumps - would really appreciate any help!

Push But Can't Pull
hi guys...i wish arrays had a .pull option. I am making a calendar. The user can click days...if the day is clicked, that day is pushed to an array that collects all the selected days.
However, i would also like to give the option of taking back a selection, thus removing that from the selectedDays array. I can't use splice or pop as i know not in what order the user is going to select/deselect days. Ie...user selects 2,3,5,8 and 9 in that order. Then decides to remove 3...i want the array to read 2,5,8,9.
any ideas?
Code:
dayBox.onRelease = function() {
this.selectedDay = !this.selectedDay;
switch (this.selectedDay) {
case true :
selectedDays.push(this.txNumber.text);
this.box.colorTo(0xCCCCCC, .5, ease);
break;
case false :
//how do i take that selection out of selectedDays???
this.box.colorTo(0xFFFFFF, .5, ease);
break;
}
};
Pull A Var Value Using A String?
All right, here's my situation described as compacted as possible, I have a text string(let's say the string is "801") and I have a variable called 801. Is there any function that can find a variable name based on a text string to find the value, for instance, getVar("801") which would find the var name 801, and give me back the value in that variable?

Pull Down Advert. How Is It Done?
http://demo.eyeblaster.com/Europe/Of.../panasonic.htm
Move your mouse over the panasonic banner.
I have created the flash movie with transparency but i would like to know how to implement the mouse over effect so when the mouse is placed over the small movie, it expands vertically and plays the whole movie without pushing the web page downwards as is the case with this effect???
I am near to finishing it, yet so far!!!!!
Please can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Pull Down Advert
Hi!
I'm doing a Flash pull down advert for a search engine site, which takes ad-banners to their site. So the idea of the pull-down-advert is: the area of 468 x 60 px is always open, when u rollover it, then the Y (vertically) opens to 240 px.
So i made this for them:
http://zumgames.com/moditudvariant.swf
But the problem is, when it is on their system: IE browser wont show the banner
when refreshing the page, it opens the banner itself, but it should stay closed
Thanks in advance for your help.

How Do I Pull The XML Into My Flash?
Okay, so I have a basic flash file with a button, when you hover over it, an object with dynamic text appears...
Now I want text from an XML file to be pulled from it into my dynamic text box...
this is what my code in my actionScript looks like so far...
function DisplayInfo()
{
var title = items.firstChild;
var items = channel_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
box.text1.text = title.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
menu_md._visible = false;
box._visible = true;
box.text1.text = this.location_text;
}
button1.onRollOver = DisplayInfo;
box.closeButton.onRelease = function()
{
menu_md._visible = true;
box._visible = false;
box.text1.text =
Its this part I cant figure out...
Code:
{
var title = items.firstChild;
var items = channel_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
box.text1.text = title.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
menu_md._visible = false;
box._visible = true;
box.text1.text = this.location_text;
}
My XML looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>
Travel Warnings
</title>
<link>
http://travel.state.gov/travel..._pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html
</link>
<description>
TEXT HERE
</description>
</channel>
</rss>
Anyone know how to simply grab the info in the description tags and whack it in my dynamic text field?
Pull Information From URL
I need to pull
id = 99;
code = d02d;
pass = 32422;
user = bob;
info from a url ie:
http://www.mydomain.com/guestbook.html?id=99&code=d02d&pass=32422&&user=bo b
I would imagine pulling it into a array and cutting it up, however thats beyond me.
If anyone could help with this, or point me towards a snipt of code I could modify it would be much appreciated.
