[Flashcoders] getting my info into flash

2006-08-22 Thread Flash guru

Hey all,

I have a project a that calls for a database to spit out results to a query
and display it in flash. I'm using php and I've gotten to the point where I
have the information I need but I don't know how to get full arrays back
into flash. I've been searching for tutorials with no luck, can anyone point
me in the right direction.

thanks.

I'm trying to leave the way of ASP behind - the following notes might
be useful to you...

A good quick ASP reference :- http://www.devguru.com/

In ActionScript, when you create/build the XML object, don't bother
setting the XMLObject.contentType as you would for PHP. The (unusual)
default was intended for communicating with ASP.

On the server, asp VBScript code I have used previously to process
XML sent from flash...
<%
dim xmlObj
Set xmlObj = Server.CreateObject( "Microsoft.XMLDOM" )

xmlObj.async = false

xmlObj.load( Request.BinaryRead( Request.TotalBytes ) )

if xmlObj.parseError.errorCode <> 0 then
   'there-was-a-parse-error
else
   'do-something
end if
%>

In your case the do-something is probably to just a call to the
xmlObj save method?
e.g.
xmlObj.save( "C:\path-to-target-file" )
http://www.devguru.com/technologies/xml_dom/15813.asp

You may also find reading up on the VBScript "File System Object" if
you have other file type things to such as testing to see if the file
already exists...
http://www.devguru.com/technologies/vbscript/14048.asp

And finally you may need to use Server.MapPath to find the path to
your site-root folder...
http://www.devguru.com/technologies/asp/9170.asp

You'll need something like that to "produce" them.  The Flash player,
for security reasons, can't create XML files by itself on the server.
You have to use something else along with Flash.  This is also true of
HTML - same concept.

2006-04-13 Thread Flash guru
Hey all,

I'm working on this nav system and it has one bug in it. I know there is
something wrong with my logic somwhere, I've just looked at it to long.
Basically the bug is if you roll your mouse from right to left to quickly
you get this crazy spacing issue.  Any help would be great.

To make the following code to work just create a rectangle 75x11 and make it
into a symbol with a linkage name of 'clip'. That's it you don't need
anything on stage and put the following code in frame 1.

Thanks again




init();
function init(){
//initialize menu items
_level0.createEmptyMovieClip("menu",-1);
_global.menuNum = 6; //number of menuitems
_global.menuSpacing = 85;//spacing
//set properties for menu items

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Q: All OOP or ??????

2006-01-28 Thread Flash guru
I agree with j.c. Being a fairly young developer I find myself bringing in
all sorts of resources in to my projects. It all depends on the project and
what it entails. The beauty of OOP is that it's reusable and once your
library is big enough you'll find that the work you've put into it will pay
off, making your life easier. Anyways that's my two cents.

what I read its great.

If that doesn't work you can always make a dynamic text area and trace to
that.

Cortlandt makes a good point

December should be a fun month.


Essential is a heavy book for a beginner, but a great book for the whole

Agreed

1. Essential ActionScript 2.0
2. Object-Oriented Programming with ActionScript 2.0

Garage has some good things in it but not worth reading first, but a skim
through for sure.
Hacks last, by the time you finish with the first two new hacks will have
been developed for flash 8 bugs.

[Flashcoders] Double click event

2005-12-07 Thread Flash guru
hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a double click event. I want to be able
to double click on a movie clip to perform an action rather than a single
click.

any help would be great, thanks.
