Re: [Flashcoders] sorting xml
You can do something like:
var xml:XML = nodes
node aaa=twa ccc=hpo/
node aaa=eas ccc=zpd/
node aaa=oro ccc=jii/
node aaa=cbm ccc=mpt/
node aaa=leg ccc=gzb/
node aaa=oro ccc=jih/
node aaa=kfb ccc=ldx/
/nodes;
var a:Array = new Array();
for each(var item:XML in xml.node){
a.push(item);
}
a.sortOn([@ccc]);
var newxmllist:XMLList = new XMLList();
for(var i:uint = 0, len:uint = a.length; i len; i++){
newxmllist += a[i];
}
trace(newxmllist);
There may be a better way though ;)

Re: [Flashcoders] Modifying a already defined tween
I recommend TweenMax, which you can just call updateTo() to change the end value of the tween on the fly.

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

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

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++) {
var n:Number = randRange(1, 40)
trace(n);
}
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] NetStream onMetaData does not get called
I have now working solutions, and here are few things may be beneficial for someone in the future doing Red5 streaming: - onMetaData does not get called, but to obtain the length of the stream you can use NetConnection.call(getStreamLength, Responder, stream) - onXMPdata does get called but not all stream (non Adobe encoder generated) has XMP data embedded - resume() does not work on its own but it does if you seek(pausedTime) immediately after - seek() does not work but it does if you call it twice in succession - I use 200ms in between -- Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] xml: counting parents
It's very hackish, but here we go :)
Say you have this recursive function:
private function transformXMLWithParentCount(original:XML, xml:XML,
n:uint):void {
for(var i:uint = 0, len:uint = xml.children().length(); i len; i++){
original..*.(@att == xml.children()[...@att)@parent = n;
transformXMLWithParentCount(original, xml.children()[i], n + 1);
}
}
You have this XML:
var testXML:XML = root
person att=1
person att=2
person att=3/
person att=4/
/person
/person
person att=5
person att=6
person att=7/
person att=8/
/person
/person
/root;
Then:
transformXMLWithParentCount(testXML, testXML, 0);
trace(testXML);
You should get:
root
person att=1 parent=0
person att=2 parent=1
person att=3 parent=2/
person att=4 parent=2/
/person
/person
person att=5 parent=0
person att=6 parent=1

Re: [Flashcoders] xml: counting parents
I don't think you need to know the depth of the node in order to
create a chart because you can traverse the XML and generate the chart
as you go along.
But if you need to know the deapth:
function transformXMLWithParentCount(original:XML, xml:XML, n:uint):void {
for(var i:uint = 0, len:uint = xml.children().length(); i
len; i++){
original..*.(@name == xml.children()[...@name @title
==
xml.children()[...@title)@parent = n;
transformXMLWithParentCount(original,
xml.children()[i], n + 1);
}
}
var testXML:XML = person name=Ted title=director of the world
person
name=Bob title=deputy director of the world
person
name=Jim title=Manager - North America
person
name=Sampson title=Lead - Western States/
person
name=Sophia title=Lead - Eastern States/
/person
person
name=Sally title=Manager - South America/
person
name=Sarah title=Manager - Africa/
/person
/person;
transformXMLWithParentCount(testXML, testXML, 1);
trace(testXML);
Trace:
person name=Ted title=director of the world
person name=Bob title=deputy director of the world parent=1
person name=Jim title=Manager - North America parent=2
person name=Sampson title=Lead - Western States parent=3/
person name=Sophia title=Lead - Eastern States parent=3/
/person
person name=Sally title=Manager - South America parent=2/
person name=Sarah title=Manager - Africa parent=2/
/person
/person
But this fails when you have two or more people with identical name
and title: you should create unique ID for each person :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Preloader, Pt. 2
There are many ways to achieve what (I think) you want to achieve but may be the most simple way is to place your intro SWF in one HTML and when it finishes playing go to another HTML page contains your main stuff. -- Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ On 26 February 2010 14:17, Victor Subervi victorsube...@gmail.com wrote: Hi; Now that I've got the preloader working, not sure how to attach it.

with(coName){
x = 100;
y = 100;
autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
embedFonts = true;
defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat(Arial, 40, 0);
text = Company Name;
filters = [new DropShadowFilter(10, 0, 0, 0.5, 10, 10)];
}
addChild(coName);
//transform
var degX:Number = 15;
var degY:Number = 15;
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.b = Math.tan(degY*Math.PI/180);
m.c = Math.tan(degX*Math.PI/180);

I used Arial for the embedded font so you need to change that to
your font name. Otherwise my example is very simple and should work :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a XMLList in the source code
In this case you may use String as parameter for the constructor.
var xmlList:XMLList = new XMLList('user pos=0 money=123
changed=2 pool=10.20.30 whist1=10.20 whist2=100 /user
pos=2 money=-123 changed=4 mount=1.2.3whist1=10.20.100.300
whist2=100 /');
You can also use Boolean and Number as parameter :)
