[Flashcoders] XML Question
Hi;
I have this in an external xml file:
PAGE pg_name='index'
DETAILSThis is some more of the home page./DETAILS
/PAGE
My objective is to use a switch statement like this:
switch (xmlda...@page_name.tostring())
{
case index:
pageDetails = xmlData.DETAILS.toString();
case contact:
pageDetails = xmlData.DETAILS.toString();
}
and pass a var to the swf so I can change the content (DETAILS) of the page
based on the same. I know I'm going about this the wrong way, but I don't know
how to do it correctly. Also, my switch statement doesn't work anyway. Please
advise.
TIA,
John

Re: [Flashcoders] XML Question
Hi,
Your switch uses page_name, but your XML says pg_name.
Not sure about the other question at the moment, but it looks like you
are repeating your self in the switch statement - if all your pages have
DETAILS, do you need to switch? I am guessing you may have pages that
differ?
HTH a little,

[Flashcoders] Adding MC with some frames from library
Hi
I met situation with AS3 that I can not explain or even understand
where I should look answer.
Simple example.
In library I have simple movie clip with linkage class name nav. This
mc has mc2 with two frames. In frame 1- stop().
On the stage I add this nav
function init():void{
var nav:Nav=new Nav();
nav.x=200;
nav.y=200;
addChild(nav);
}
init();
nav is on the stage correctly. Mc2 in frame 1.
But if I use another way
function init(e:Event):void{
var nav:Nav=new Nav();
nav.x=200;
nav.y=200;
addChild(nav);
}
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,init);
nav is on the stage but mc2 somehow stops in frame2.
Please can anybody explain this situation?
Thanks in advance.

[Flashcoders] ExternalInterface broken? chrome and safari on linux...

RE: [Flashcoders] XML Question
Your switch statement doesn't work because it should look like this
instead:
PAGE pg_name='index'
DETAILSThis is some more of the home page./DETAILS
/PAGE
switch (xmldata.pa...@pg_name)
{
case index:
pageDetails = xmlData.DETAILS.toString();
break;
case contact:
pageDetails = xmlData.DETAILS.toString();
break;
}
That said, the line: pageDetails = xmlData.DETAILS.toString(); is
repeated over and over in your switch, which is pointless.
Instead of a switch statement, use E4X syntax in XML to get the right
data - something like this:
pageDetails = xmlData.PAGE.(@pg_name == someValue).DETAILS.text();

[Flashcoders] stopping propagation of an event
Hi list...
I have a TextArea component used for inputting text. Also, the stage has a key
listener where something happens if the user keys i.
The issue arises when the user starts inputting text into the TextArea. If she
types i, the stage event fires. I don't want that to happen if the user's
focus is in the TextArea. I've tried to take the event off the button when the
focus is in the TextArea, but that seems buggy. Also, I tried
stopImmediatePropagation, priority and useCapture on the TextEvent, all to no
avail. Can anyone offer a strategy?
Thanks!
- Michael M.
myTextArea.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, block, true, 100);
private function block(t:TextEvent):void{
if(t.text == i || t.text == I){
// gets here, but doesn't stop the i from firing the stage
listener's keyboard event
t.stopPropagation();
}
}

It's not just about missing break, your switch statement
fundamentally does not make sense (sorry ;)
switch (xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
... this evaluates to indexcontact as your trace shows, therefore
none of your cases will pass the test.
In order to make this work you have to iterate nodes with for/for
each, but no need to even do that - instead use E4X to access nodes
you want.

You're right, however it makes no difference in the outcome. It still defaults
to the default:
function completeXMLListener(e:Event):void

trace(xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())

break;
}

and that is not what I want. I just put a couple of traces in the other cases
and they didn't fire. Please explain.

Re: [Flashcoders] XML Question
Say for example you are in the home section and obtaining the data for
it, you'd do:
var pageData:XML = xmlData.PAGE.(@pg_name == index)[0];
Then build the page based on pageData XML.

It's not just about missing break, your switch statement
fundamentally does
not make sense (sorry ;)
switch (
ymailto=mailto:xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring;
href=mailto:xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring;xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
...
this evaluates to indexcontact as your trace shows, therefore
none of your
cases will pass the test.
In order to make this work you have to iterate
nodes with for/for
each, but no need to even do that - instead use E4X to
access nodes
you want.
Right. That's what I said at the outset, that I knew I was doing something
fundamentally wrong, but don't know how to do it correctly. Here I am with
Moock trying to figure it out but I'm missing it. Could you give an example?
TIA,
John

No way. Your first example traces true just because there is only one
pg_name attribute.
Consider this:
var xmlData:XML = root

pg_name='index'DETAILSpage/DETAILS/PAGE
PAGE
pg_name='contact'DETAILSpage/DETAILS/PAGE
/root;
trace(xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring() == index); // false because

Re: [Flashcoders] ExternalInterface broken? chrome and safari on linux...
now i'm testign with a super simple test swf in AS2 like this...
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
if(ExternalInterface.available)
{
statusTXT.text = External Interface is available;
ExternalInterface.call(alert, Called from flash);
getURL(javascript:alert('alternative JS call'););
}
and while both alert's fire on windows, in FF and chrome on ubuntu not even
the second one goes.
as far as timings go, in the actual project i call JS to set a var to say
that the flash is all ready and raring to go before anything gets called in
it. plus it works fine on windows in every browser i've tried...

Re: [Flashcoders] Changing display index on the stage
My interpretation of the question was we want the depth of the added object
to be lower than the object that is already on the stage. So I don't think
the x coordinate is the answer.
So the first answer where Robert re-addChilds mc1 technically works in the
simple situation, but if you have other objects on the stage, you'll start
to mess up the depth order of your stage objects. I would recommend using
addChildAt and setting the depth of mc2 to that of mc1's:
this.addChildAt(mc2, this.getChildIndex(mc1));
That way, everything in the stack from mc1 + up is promoted instead of mc1
being popped to the top of the stack.

Re: [Flashcoders] XML Question
If I understood you correctly, you want to filter the XML data according
to a variable passed to the SWF. If so you'd do something like:
var pageDetails:String = xmlData.PAGE.(@pg_name ==
loaderInfo.parameters.page).DETAILS;
// page is the name of the var passed to the SWF here
But I strongly recommend you to have a look at SWFAddress, which is
absolutely indispensable framework if you are creating a site driven by
dynamic data ;)

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XML Question
Say for example you are in the home section and obtaining the data for
it,
you'd do:
var pageData:XML = xmlData.PAGE.(@pg_name ==
index)[0];
Then build the page based on pageData XML.
k. Now, how can I build a switch statement to determine which page? I plan to pass a var to my swf,
then call the data based on the value of the var (in this case, index). As stated
previously, my switch statement, for reasons I don't understand, is giving me the value
indexcontent; that is, all the values of pg_name:
function completeXMLListener(e:Event):void
{
var xmlData:XML = XML (e.target.data);
trace(xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
switch (xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
{
case index:
pageDetails = xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
break;
case contact:
pageDetails = xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
break;
default:
pageDetails = xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
trace(pageDetails);
break;
}
MyTextBlock();
}
TIA,

Re: [Flashcoders] Changing display index on the stage
Thank you very much! That is exactly what I need.
2010/5/5 jonathan howe jonathangh...@gmail.com:
My interpretation of the question was we want the depth of the added object
to be lower than the object that is already on the stage. So I don't think
the x coordinate is the answer.
So the first answer where Robert re-addChilds mc1 technically works in the
simple situation, but if you have other objects on the stage, you'll start
to mess up the depth order of your stage objects. I would recommend using
addChildAt and setting the depth of mc2 to that of mc1's:
this.addChildAt(mc2, this.getChildIndex(mc1));
That way, everything in the stack from mc1 + up is promoted instead of mc1
being popped to the top of the stack.

Re: [Flashcoders] Changing display index on the stage
Please explain. Do you mean to create empty holder manually? How to add stuff to it? My first try was to add mc from the library with linkage class name. This is simple navigation bar with back next arrows. So in the library I have mc nav. Nav has two mcs (arrows). Each mc has two frames inside. Everything would be fine if I just add this in the beginning. But I add it after event. And after that everything becames crazy. This two-frame mc stops on frame 2. Here is fla http://www.mightybook.com/test/example.zip I could not solve this problem and decided that only what I can to add it on the stage. So solution was found with guru help. But I would want to understand why all this crazy things happened.

[Flashcoders] Producing a random list with no repeats

are randomly selected from a block of 40 questions. I found the following code,
but I can't work out how to stop it doubling up the questions.
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
}
for (var i = 0; i 10; i++) {

}
When I run this it outputs a list of numbers like 40 13 17 12 27 12 3 17
9 15 which means some questions (in this case 17 and 12) will appear twice in
my quiz.
Bearing in mind that I am a bit of an ActionScript dummy, can anybody suggest a
way to modify the above script to prevent the same number being generated more
than once.

Re: [Flashcoders] Producing a random list with no repeats
It's probably best just to create an Array or Vector containing numbers 1 to 40. (Vectors are only available in AS3, not sure about Array). Shuffle the array, then choose the first 10 elements. A reasonably effective way to shuffle an array is to step through the array, and for each element swap it with some other randomly selected element. Another approach is to start with an array whose elements contain numbers 1 through 40. Randomly select one of the 40 elements, record its value, and remove it from the array. Now you have 39 elements. Randomly select one of the 39 elements, record its value, and remove it from the array. Continue in this fashion until you've selected 10 elements. The worst approach is to repeatedly generate random numbers in the range 1 through 40, and add the number your list of questions only if it's not already on the list. The reason this approach is bad is that the execution time is unpredictable - you could be 'rolling the dice' hundreds of times and always getting numbers that are already on your list.

Re: [Flashcoders] Producing a random list with no repeats
Hi Allen,
Just a thought, but maybe have the quiz numbers set in an array that
the var n:Number is retrieved and have the min and max that the
random code calls match the amount of items in the array.
After selecting a question, remove it from the array, thus the array
length (max) reduces and the random code still works, but the
previous questions are no longer in the array to choose from.
var numArray:Array = new Array();
numArray = [40, 20, 35, 4, 5, 9];
var currentNum:Number = null;
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random(max, min));
return randomNum;
}
for (var i = 0; i numArray.length; i++) {
var n:Number = randRange(0, numArray.length);
currentNum = numArray[n];
numArray = numArray.splice(n);
trace(incrament number: +i);
trace(currentNum: +currentNum);
trace(numArray: +numArray);
}
This was off the top of the head, so you will need to test it.
HTH,
Karl

Re: [Flashcoders] Producing a random list with no repeats
A simple way:
Put all the candidate numbers in a list (in this case, 1 to 40). Then pick
randomly from that array, one at the time, and make sure you remove that
number from the candidates list, so you can't have duplicates.
In code (untested):
function getRandomList():Array {
var min:Number = 1;
var max:Number = 40;
var numItems:Number = 10;
var candidates:Array = [];
// fill up the candidates list with the eligible numbers
for(var i:Number = min; i = max; i++) {
candidates.push(i);
}
var list:Array = [];
var idx:Number = 0;
var selectedNumber:Number = 0;
for(i = 0; i numItems; i++) {
// get a number from the candidates list, randomly. Add it to the
result and remove it from the candidates list (using splice)
idx = Math.floor(Math.random() * candidates.length);
selectedNumber = candidates.splice(idx,1)[0];
list.push(selectedNumber);
}
return list;
}
