Flash :: Browse Through An Xml (skip Nodes)

Help - Flash Splash Page, Skip, Skip Always, Play.
Hello,

I am trying to give users a way to skip the splash page this time, or ALWAYS skip it. I made that happen by using placing this code on the "skip always" button: (website: http://www.evbc.org/frog/main/index.html )

on(release, keyPress "<Enter>"){
user.data.name = "skip";
user.flush();
_root.gotoAndStop(50);
}

In the first frame of the timeline, I have this code to see if we should skip:

user = SharedObject.getLocal("user_profile");
trace(user.data.name)
if (user.data.name != "skip"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
trace(user.data.name);
getURL("http://www.evbc.org/frog/main/home.aspx");
}

Ok, so far so good, but if they ever want to play the intro again, how can I set the "SKIP" variable back to "PLAY"? The SharedObject feature will only let you read/write from the same .swf.

Thanks for any help,

Adding Nodes And Child Nodes To An Xml Tree
Hello Ed, and every1 else.

Can i first say a big thank you for your effort, you didnt have to and i really appreciate it...im somewhat of a novice and am finding my feet.

I can now attach a comment to a node. Prior to that I have imported my xml file - which contains the tree into flash and can now display the tree structure and all of its nodes. the comment is there so thats great.

Is there any way though that you can update the xml file with the comment that you have submitted.

i.e. after you have attached the comment with a node, is there any way that the comment willl be passed through to that xml file itself?

Im thinking i need an attribute in the xml file called say "comment" and somehow when you press the submit button to attach the comment to a node the xml file (the "comment" attribute within) is also updated with the comment.

Skip Flash Intro This Time Only V. Skip Always
Hi there.

I am currently looking for code that would allow the visitor to choose whether or not they want to skip the intro only during this visit or if they would like to skip it permanently. I currently have a script that places a cookie on the users machine and automatically does not show the intro for up to 30 days afterwards. However, I am needing something a bit more flexible instead that allows the user to choose.

Can anyone help? Please?

Thanks in advance.

Flash Intros.....to Skip Or Not To Skip?
Hi folks,

I'm creating a site for a company and this thing is driving me crazy!!
The index or main page has a Flash Intro..BUT they want the intro to be played just the first time someone visits the website, in other words,everytime you open a browser window. If you play the intro, go to another page, and then return to the main, the movie should start from the last frame.

I tried to fix this with Local Shared Objects...but i'm only able to play the full animation in my first visiit! Then the "cookie" do not allow me to play the animation ANYMORE! I want to reset the cookie everytime i close the browser window.....HOW?

Browse Window
Hey I need to somehow allow my user to browse through his harddrive for image files and get the file path to the file he selects and put it in a text box. How can I get a browse window like that? Is there a component for it, possibly? I've looked for one, but didn't find any.

Thanks,

Browse From Current To Next
Hi,
thank you for reading this!
Well, I am not good att actionscripting. As you can see from the following:
What is the difference between this:

Code:
gotoAndStop(currentframe + 1);
And this:

Code:
_root.gotoAndStop(_root._currentframe+1);
.
I want to simply browse from one frame to the next frame in the main timeline.
The first one sends me back a couple of frames and the second one I found here and I haven´t tried that yet.

Thanx!
Regards
ik.

Browse Function?
hey all, I was just wondering if there's anybody that got an idea for how I can add a Browse function where it will be possible to choose a diretory, like those dialogboxes that sometimes are used in different programs.
I can't seem to find anything on a thing like this, and I have been thinking of maybe I have to use some kinda java applet, but truth is I never tried using java since I can never find any good tuts on the language.. :/

hope somebody got any good ideas for a solution

thanks!

Button To Browse A CD
Hello, I'm new to the forum. I was hoping someone could tell me how to make a button that can access files on a CD. The CD has the Flash projector on it and autoruns as soon as it is popped in. In the movie there are buttons that are supposed to access files on the same CD. Any help would be appreciated.

Browse Window/Box?
Is there a way to make a browse window open so that a user could select a file??

i have a mp3 player that i made with flash, it loads the file, plays it, and can pause stop, gotoNExt and it has a volume control. instead of making the user type in the name of the file and hit the load button, can i make a browse window come up.

with that, a user would be able to select the file, the path would automatically be copyied into the inputTxt field, and then that user would hit load. [then the mp3 file would load - or give an error]

-Any help would be much appreciated;

[CS3] Flash Browse
Hi Everyone,

I have created a CD-ROM using Flash CS# Professional and AS2, which displays various buttons linking .pdfs, .docs, .pps, and other files.

Does anyone know how I could enable a search of the documents found on the CD? I know that I could create an index in Adobe, but I would rather the directory of the CD to appear. Can any one give any ideas on how I would go about doing this?

Thank you,
Rehannah

Hwo To Make Browse Btn
hi guys, i need to make a browse btn to loade a pic into my PicLoader

FileReferenceList / Browse
I'm using the code below as part of an upload application that we're working on and what I want is for the user to be able to select browse multiple times, and the code below removes previously queued files each time the browse function is invoked. How do I fix this? This isn't the full code, but it's enough to show the problem.

ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.external.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.FileReferenceList;
import flash.net.FileReference;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class selectonly extends Sprite
{
private var _fileref:FileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();
private var file:FileReference = null;

public function selectonly()
{
trace("start");
this._fileref.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, this.selectHandler);
this._fileref.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL, this.cancelHandler);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, browsefiles);

ExternalInterface.addCallback("browsefiles", browsefiles);
}

private function selectHandler (event:Event):void
{
trace("select handler");

var file_reference_list:Array = this._fileref.fileList;
var item:FileReference;

var queuedFiles:Number = file_reference_list.length;;
trace(queuedFiles);

for (var i:Number = 0; i < file_reference_list.length; i++)
{
trace(i);
item = file_reference_list[i];
var jsArgument:String = item.name;
var fileresult:Object = ExternalInterface.call("filelist", jsArgument, i);
}
}

private function cancelHandler (event:Event):void
{
trace("cancel handler");
}

public function browsefiles(event:Event)
{
this._fileref.browse();
};

}
}

Browse Function
Hi guys,
I have a button which, when clicked, should open a window where you can see a the contents of a folder on a the CD in the CD drive. I have this code

import flash.net.FileReference;

var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
var url:String = 'disegni/DESIGNSTATE' + file.name;
getURL(url, '_top');

txt.text = 'File selected: ' + file.name;
}

listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
txt.text = 'User cancelled';
}

var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);

mc.onPress = function() {
fileRef.browse();
}

the button has an instance name of "mc".

if i wanted to put this code ON THE BUTTON itself instead of on a keyframe on the timeline, how would i need to change the code?

Thanks guys for any eventual help!

Reg Browse Method
Hi all,

When I call the browse function it stores the file as an object in my filereference instance. If I can get the path of the file it is damn easy, but the flash.net.fileReference class only gives the name / size etc, but not the file path when we call the browse function.

Is there a way to get the file path when we call the browse function?

Thanks

FMX-browse Button
Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there is any way to have a browse button in flash. I'm referrring to those html buttons that allow the user to select a file from their computer to be uploaded to the server. i.e: attachment in a web based email site.
I've never seen this feature in flash, I'm not even sure that exisits...unfortunately I have always seen this issue resolved by poping an html window instead.
Any ideas welcome.

thanks!
