What Is Good Method To Parse Several Files?
I want to load menu which contains several options using XML parsing. The menu would load as xml and each option too.
For example:
Menu -> What's New? | Web | Contact
Container -> which contains data of each option
menu.xml
<menu>
<option>What's New?</option>
<option>Web</option>
<option>Contact</option>
</menu>
whatsnew.xml
<whatsnew>
<item>
<date>01.10.07</date>
<desc>bla...</desc>
</item>
</whatsnew>
What is the ideal way to deal with XML parsing?
Let's if I don't want to create two same method of parsing.
For now on, I can load menu...
Thinking to create a Object class:
package {
public class objItems {
public var date:String;
public var description:String;
public var icon:String;
etc...
}
}
package {
var _loader:URLLoader;
var obj:ObjectItems;
var menuList: XMLList;
public class LoadFile {
public function LoadFile():void {
obj = new ObjectItems();
_loader = new URLLoader();
_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseXML);
_loader.load(new URLRequest(obj.file_menu));
}
}
protected function parseXML(event:Event):void {
try {
var menu:XML = new XML(_loader.data);
// Create a list of buttons
menuList = menu.option;
drawMenu();
} catch (e:Error) {
... error...
}
}
}

Merging Multiple XML Files Via AppendChild Method
I am trying to load and merge multiple xml files. I have all the loading and everything working correctly, with the exception of getting appendChild to work so that I can merge the results!!!!! Here is the full source http://donaldparkerproductions.com/vv/demo.zip
Here is code that does most of the work, i've removed some of the unnecessaries:
Code:
var loadedXML:XML = new XML(<body></body>);
trace(loadedXML.toXMLString());
function search():void
{
loadedXML = new XML; //clear previous
searchables_ary = new Array();
for each(var c:CustomCheckBox in chkBoxes_ary)
{
switch (c.selected)
{
case true:
searchables_ary.push(c.loc); //.loc is a public variable in the CustomCheckBox class, set to the location of the xml file
}
}
if(searchables_ary.length == 0)
{
return;
}
for each(var fileLoc:String in searchables_ary)
{
trace("Loading file: " + fileLoc);
var loc:String = fileLoc;
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loc);
var xmlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLdr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadResponseXML);
xmlLdr.load(xmlReq);
}
}
function loadResponseXML(e:Event):void
{
//var FresultsXML:XML = e.target.data;
//trace(e.target.data);
//loadedXML.appendChild(Object(e.target.data));
var responseXMLL:XMLList = new XMLList(XMLList(e.target.data).menuItem);
//trace(responseXMLL.length());
for each(var item:XML in responseXMLL)
{
trace(item.length());
//trace(item)
loadedXML.appendChild(item); //EVERYTHING WORKS BUT THIS
}
trace(loadedXML.toXMLString()); //AND THIS
}

Preloder Like This...
hey, just wondering if anyone can direct me to a tutorial or paste in some script on how to do a preloader like on this site:
http://www.gridplane.com
basically i'm after a really smooth preloader, as i'm having problems with mine being too clunky and also my loadbar doesn't reach 100% properly—i've just fudged it for now.
http://www.atype.com.au
here's the currect script i'm using:
Quote:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per*9.43;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
cheers

Preloder Question
hi,
I want to do a preloader and are a bit confused. some use different scenes and some place the preloader in the first keyframe. some use a own swf-file for the preloader. I wonder whats the difference? Is one solution better than the other?
I really want to know what you think before I decide in what way I do my preloader.
I also wonder if you have to use ifFrameLoaded because all in my mainmovie is in one frame. it must be possible to load the movie without counting the frames.

Preloder Problems( Not Showing)
I made a prealoder, my code is pretty simple and it works perfect with the file were I have a static image in second scene. But when I place the prealoder into more complicated file were I also have two scenes (all my second scene movie clips sitting in library and actions calling them to play) Preloder not showing up.The movie plays (after download completed) but ignores the preloader... there is some conflict.
Here is my preloder:
first frame action-
total_bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded_bytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent_done = int((loaded_bytes/total_bytes)*100);
bar.gotoAndStop(percent_done);
ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 2", 60) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);
}
and my next frame, same scene:
gotoAndPlay (1);
and in second scene there is no actions in the Timeline( only "stop()" at the last frame were it has to be anyway.
Do you thing I'm missing something?Maybe You know anybody who could help.
Thanks in advance

Preloder Works In Simulation But On The Web
A while ago I found on another board a nice piece of preloading code for multiple images. It seemed to be working great until I've actually posted the swf on the web. The text field displaying the loading progress in % started showing NaN until about 85-90% of the totalbytes were loaded. This would coincide with the first image actually popping up. This does not happen in a simulation mode: the first image shows up at the same point but the percentage is displayed correctly way beforehand and grows steadily from ~5 to 100%. I think the reson behind this behavior are dynamically created emptyMovieClips that are being used for loading images. Preloader must be getting confused every time the new one pops up and resets itself to NaN. I tried to include a line of code that would correct it but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm not emotionally attached to this script so if anyone has suggestions for a preloader that would grab images from the external folder while displaying the progress in percentage I would appreciate.
code:
//number of images to be displayed:
srcL = 10;
//source of Images for a gallery:
imageFolder = "Graphics/Gallery_1";
var Images = new Array();
for (i=0; i<=srcL; i++) {
Images[i] = [imageFolder+"/image"+i+".jpg"];
}
// create one clip for each movie
// and load the movie into each one.
for (var i = 0; i<Images.length; i++) {
var tmp = this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+i, i);
tmp.loadMovie(Images[i]);
}
// now set up an onEnterFrame event
// to continually check the load progress
// and update the bar clip
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var stat = 0;
// initial status
for (var i = 0; i<Images.length; i++) {
var tmp = this["clip"+i];
stat += (tmp.getBytesLoaded()/tmp.getBytesTotal())*100;
}
stat /= Images.length;
// get the average status value
if (isNan(Stat) || tmp.getBytesTotal()<8) {
return;
} else {
this.bar._xscale = stat;
// set the width of the bar to reflect the load status
this.txt.text = Math.round(stat)+"%";
trace(stat);
// if the load is complete, cancel the onEnterFrame
if (stat == 100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
stop();

Preloder Headache - Dynamic Preloader
OK, What I`m doing is,this:
I have a movie which creates serval movieclips which then will be used by a controller Movieclip to load other external swfs into them.
This controller movieclip is itself effectively a preloader. Actually everything works fine, save one problem:
The preloader pops up, doesen`t show any loadingprogress, the target movie in whom the external swf is being loaded disapers, there is nothing for a moment. Then according to connection time the requested movie appears.
What might be the reason of this ? All suggestions / ideas / Xtremly welcome !!!
You might watch the effect at spade-trading.com
Unfortunately I'm not at Work (it`s 1 O Clock in the Morning in Germany) right now, but rather keept from sleep by this Problem.
This Is why I can`t post any code right now...

Can you suggest something please

Function In A Method Return True To Method's Caller?
I think I probably don't know the correct terminology to ask this question, but here goes:
In this example, can anyone tell me how to have the setComplete event function within the main method return true to the caller of the method, instead of just to the listener?
PHP Code:
function loadAsset(target:MovieClip, asset:String, assetLoaderInfo:LoaderInfo): Boolean { var assetLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var assetURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(asset); assetLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, setLoaderInfo); assetLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setComplete); function setLoaderInfo(event:Event) { assetLoaderInfo = event.currentTarget; } function setComplete(event:Event) { target.addChild(assetLoader); return true; } assetLoader.load(assetURLRequest); }

Preloder ScaleX Property And X Property
Hi!
within the loader listener's progressevent I had my preloader mc update the scaleX property and works fine, thus, it moves and scales just like a preloader does until it reaches 100. My only concern is when scaleX updates the preloader mc 'x' location seems to be moving as well making the preloader clip looked liked it scales on both sides (both ends of the line). As i examined the preloader mc 'x' property it stays the same all throughout. This is weird.
anyone?
thank you in advance.

[AS2 OOP] Calling A Method In A Method
Hi everyone
i'm not quite sure how to phrase my problem, so i'll examplify:
Code:
class A{
function A(){
trace("construct");
}
private function moo(){
trace("moo!");
}
private function cow(){
trace("start mooing");
moo();
}
}
this does what I expect it to: construct, start mooing, moo!
Code:
class A{
function A(){
trace("construct");
}
private function moo(){
trace("moo!");
}
private function cow(){
trace("start mooing");
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
trace("moo!")
}
}
}
this also does what I expect it to: construct, start mooing, moo!, moo!, moo!, ...
Code:
class A{
function A(){
trace("construct");
}
private function moo(){
trace("moo!");
}
private function cow(){
trace("start mooing");
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
moo();
}
}
}
yet this doesn't, I'd expect it to: construct, start mooing, moo!, moo!, moo!, ...
yet the moo! moo! moo! doesn't appear, as if moo() never gets called it all.
so what I'm I doing wrong?

Retaining Order Of Files Loaded Externally From Large XML Files
Hi everyone,
I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:
Code:
//example input: foo.xml%zeeb.xml%blarg.xml
function loadXML(filePaths:String) {
filesArray = filePaths.split('%');
for (var i:Number = 0; i<filesArray.length; i++) {
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//order of files loaded is messed up here!
parseXMLData(this, filesArray.length);
} else {
//trace(filesArray[1]+" failed to load!");
}
};
xmlData.load(filesArray[i]);
}
}
Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded?
I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles. I am guessing some sort of a listener might be needed, but that is where I've hit a wall
Thanks!

For... In ... Method
Hi all,
I have some problem with the
for( iterator in Object ) method
because it iterates on my Object returning properties in reverse order
In other words if I define a Object Person with
Fabio = new Person()
function Person(){
firstName = "Fabio"
birthday = "28-10-1970"
eyesColor = "Blue"
}
and then I use
for (i in Fabio){
trace(Fabio[i])
}
this method returns my Object properties in reverse order
eyesColor
birthday
name
instead of
name
birthday
eyesColor
Is there anyone who can tell me if it is possible to get my Object properties in the same order i defined them?
Any help will be very appreciated

A Method Of Self Help
This may sound odd, but for those who are budding flash developers, I think I found a way (aside from buying books and what not) to learn Flash MX commands rather well.
Open Flash MX, Press SHIFT+F1 (Reference), open the INDEX on the left, and one by one click on each and READ!
I've been doing this and what makes it all sink in is that I am writing what I read into a notepad file. The process of both reading and writing (seeing and doing) makes remember not only that object easier, but you know expand your thinking process when a problem presents itself.
Like you can get a eureka moment if a problem exists, and since you remember better what you read, you have an increased chance of formulating an answer with code.
Not only that, but you should try the code out. Set aside some time to test the code you're a little iffy on, and if that doesn't work, do a google search on ACTIONSCRIPT and the keyword you're having problems with.
I'm a forgetful person, and I've been doing these steps and learning SO MUCH. Hopefully it'll work well for others too.

WHAT's The Best Method? . . . .
Best Method for Text ?:
Ok, need a bit of help from some flash experts with a fair few applications under their belt, particularly ones that involved formatted text.
I’ve making an interface (application) that has about 6 different sections, video, multimedia, art, noise, bio’s and poetry text. So far i’ve basically got a “thumbnail” that you click, it then goes to the corrosponding frame in that scene and the movie/file needed loads into a movie/instance in that frame called “blank” (pretty creative naming huh? ;-)).
The interface its self is fairly bais, it stay with the style of graffiti and all things load on a brick wall, using graf fonts and a few tags etc. Most things work fine except for a few hiccups.
My problem is this:
I now have about 250-300 poems to get in to the interface, all with rich formatting (bold, italics, spacing, diff size fonts, etc) and all sent as DOCS. My thoughts were to do the following:
Convert all into RTF files using Appleworks (yes, I’m on a mac) or a similar converter (Vinc seems ok), import each one into Freehand since it seems to preserve most RTF and then bring the resulting SWF file into FLASH, paste it into a basic movie that has a simple scroll bar and then export that movie and name it appropraitely, move onto the next one . . .
I know it’s possible to load fomatted text into Dynamic text boxes from text files but I’ve so far not been able to get a handle on this (am using Flash MX) and I’m not sure it would be able to handle the “aligning” spaces, etc involved. The reason I’m using a scroll bar is that some poems are very long and won’t fit on the “WALL”, otherwise I’d just paste them in a graffiti font and leave it there.
Anyway, could ppl let me know of any pitfalls they see in this method, problems, etc or if anyone knows a better way (or has or has seen any examples of one) then please let me know. Have to get started on this soon and don’t want to be half way through it when some expert points out a brilliant stylish method that I hadn’t thought of that then makes me tear my hair out.
Thanks very much for any help or advice on this, it is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Cheers

Best Method For:
Got a project I need help with and I need to know if the fallowing is possible and if so what would be the best method for accomplishing it.
Need:
Virtually I need to know how to build a small flash GUI that allows users to name their so called "projects" then click a button ("Build") that will copys/pastes a directory and name this copy what ever the user called it on this flash GUI.
Of course this Flash GUI will have to reside in the same folder as the directory its going to be duplicating. I just need to know if I should be looking at XML help or PHP or if action script might be able to do the whole copy and paste while naming actions.
Thanks.

Best Method For This?
hi all, im just creating a quick thing for my dad which has lots of objects on the stage and when the user hovers over an object he wants the object to turn red (50% tint) (the object can also be clicked to go to a different frame)
would it be best to have them all just as buttons, or as movieclips and addEventListeners to them all to the one function?
or is there a different way?
thanks

// clear all keys in keysDown since the player cannot
// detect keys being pressed or released when not focused
keysDown = new Object();
keysReleased = new Object();
wasPressed = false;
}
}
}
Anyone any ideas how i can add a Key Hit method, so it'll only register when the key is initially pressed, then it'll go back to false?

AS3 Best Method
As of now, im using URLLoader to send a variable to a php file and use that to connect to mySQL, the php file then echos back an XML with the results. Once that is back in flash I parse it out and use the data. Once I receive the data my application begins to run extremely slow. I've removed the listener once the load has completed, i've tried loader.close(). So this is my question, is it possible to use the URLStream in this case? Will that have any effect? Or is there a better way to go about this. I'm only grabbing, as of now, about 10 values from the database, but there will be a lot more I need to get. So if it is lagging down to a crawl already, then something must be wrong.

What's The Best Method? . . . .
Best Method for Text ?:
Ok, need a bit of help from some flash experts with a fair few applications under their belt, particularly ones that involved formatted text.
I’ve making an interface (application) that has about 6 different sections, video, multimedia, art, noise, bio’s and poetry text. So far i’ve basically got a “thumbnail” that you click, it then goes to the corrosponding frame in that scene and the movie/file needed loads into a movie/instance in that frame called “blank” (pretty creative naming huh? ;-)).
The interface its self is fairly bais, it stay with the style of graffiti and all things load on a brick wall, using graf fonts and a few tags etc. Most things work fine except for a few hiccups.
My problem is this:
I now have about 250-300 poems to get in to the interface, all with rich formatting (bold, italics, spacing, diff size fonts, etc) and all sent as DOCS. My thoughts were to do the following:
Convert all into RTF files using Appleworks (yes, I’m on a mac) or a similar converter (Vinc seems ok), import each one into Freehand since it seems to preserve most RTF and then bring the resulting SWF file into FLASH, paste it into a basic movie that has a simple scroll bar and then export that movie and name it appropraitely, move onto the next one . . .
I know it’s possible to load fomatted text into Dynamic text boxes from text files but I’ve so far not been able to get a handle on this (am using Flash MX) and I’m not sure it would be able to handle the “aligning” spaces, etc involved. The reason I’m using a scroll bar is that some poems are long and won’t fit on the “WALL”, otherwise I’d just paste them in a graffiti font and leave it there.
Anyway, could ppl let me know of any pitfalls they see in this method, problems, etc or if anyone knows a better way (or has or has seen any examples of one) then please let me know. Have to get started on this soon and don’t want to be half way through it when some expert points out a brilliant stylish method that I hadn’t thought of that then makes me tear my hair out.
Thanks very much for any help or advice on this.
Cheers

Targeting External Files To Text Files In Flash
Gooday all
I am developing a flash site for a movie company and it needs to be 100% dynamic! and must be flash 5 compatible
To put things as simply as I can here goes.
I have a directors page - on this page I have two text fields.
The first text field pulls all the directors names from an external file called directors.html, In this external file I have html hyperlinks which link to each directors bio text (in another external text file), what I want to do is basically target the second text field in flash. i.e. when you are in flash and click one of the directors names his info must appear in the adjacent text field.
you follow?
THIS DOESNT LOOK LIKE A COW!

Loading External Text Files With Links To .swf Files
i am loading a external text file with html links. I would like to know if anyone out there know how to make those links load .swf files, that would work with the levels hierarchy of the original level0 file. I tried passing a variable that would be detected by a movie clip on EnterFrame but no success, maybe I had written something wrong. Loading just the swf file will replace the html page on the browser.

Reading From Files, Manipulating Strings, Writing To Files....
Thanks for your time, if you know anything please help me with the following:
1) I have my movie www.web.com/web.swf that reads the contents of the file www.web.com/news.txt. The file is supposed to contain different notes referring to updates of a site (just an example)
2) Flash loads the text in a variable, right? How can i split it, considering i use as a splitting string something like "|splithere|"
3) How can i hold each update-note in a variable, like when i`m duplicating movie clipes, for example update1 should be held in u1, update 2 in u2 and so on... (or as visual basic used - i`m and ex vb'er - u(1) u(2) and so on)

Explorer Type View Of Files Sending Files
I'm building a website to enable a kind of online music jam session. The user will choose music files stored on their computer to be uploaded to other users' "shared folder" (eg. c:mysharedfolder on user1 to c:mysharedfolder on user2 - similar principle to Kazaa I guess).
How do I display a list of the files contained within the users "shared folder" (like windows explorer)?
Secondly, is it possible to send someone a file directly to their "shared folder"?
Many thanks,
Simon
