RE: [Flashcoders] a function tells to move to a frame and then update content in that frame
Isaac,
I wanted to show you, and anyone interested, that your idea of frame label
navigation in conjunction with XML is doable.
To use this example just start a fresh fla, build out the fla according to
the structure laid out under 'Structure:' in the comment below, then copy
and paste the code into frame 1 of the actions layer.
/*
FrameLabelNav.fla Example
Author: Keith Reinfeld
FlashPlayer 9, AS3
Structure:
Main Timeline:
Three layers: actions
buttons
textfields
actions layer: five blank keyframes
frame 1: Actionscript (no frame label)
frame 2: frame label: intro
frame 3: frame label: labelone
frame 4: frame label: labeltwo
frame 5: frame label: labelthree
buttons layer: two buttons spanning all five frames
SimpleButton: prevBtn
SimpleButton: nextBtn
textfields layer:
frame 1: blank keyframe
frames 2 - 5:
TextField: content_txt spanning last four frames
*/
// Timeline code in frame 1:
stop();
// The order of the XML elements doesn't matter.
// However, each name attribute value must be unique.
var contentXML:XML =
;
// Init vars
var labels:Array = this.currentLabels;
var frameIndex:uint = 0;
var frameMax:uint = labels.length - 1;
var nextLbl:FrameLabel = labels[frameIndex];
// Listeners
prevBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navPrev);
nextBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navNext);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, navTo);
function navPrev(event:MouseEvent):void {
frameIndex = (frameIndex > 0)? --frameIndex: frameIndex;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, navTo);
}
function navNext(event:MouseEvent):void {
frameIndex = (frameIndex < frameMax)? ++frameIndex: frameIndex;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, navTo);
}
function navTo(event:Event):void{
nextLbl = labels[frameIndex];
this.gotoAndStop(nextLbl.name);
if(this.content_txt != null){
this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, navTo);
updateTextField();
}
}
function updateTextField():void{
this.content_txt.text =
contentText(contentXML,"frame","name",nextLbl.name,"text")+" (Frame:
"+this.currentFrame+")";
}
function
contentText(node:XML,element:String,att1:String,val1:String,att2:String):Str
ing{
return node.elements(element).(@[att1] == val1)@[att2];
}

[Flashcoders] Re: accessing a text node inside another node in a XMLList
Ok I´ve realized now something.
I had before in the script:
tabsContentSlideshow = myXML.slideshow.children();
I´ve replaced with:
tabsContentSlideshow = myXML.slideshow;
Then if i trace " tabsContentSlideshow.children()[0] " it will show :
CONECTE-SE
Bem-vindo ao Conecte-se!
Aqui você encontra vida! Grupos pequenos,
células, que se reúnem semanalmente. Nós oramos e desejamos que você
desenvolva bons relacionamentos, um propósito, envolvimento e encontre
alegria. Vamos servir ao Senhor juntos!
alright. now how can I retrieve the text that´s inside the tag ??
ok i-ve just discovered:
trace ("dfdf: " + tabsContentSlideshow.children()[0].item[1]);
:D
thank you people

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: accessing a text node inside another node in a XMLList
First off, XML can only have one root node, thus you're probably getting some weird errors. If you enclose all of your xml within , you should be fine. - Taka On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 11:53 AM, Isaac Alves wrote: > I´ve realized actually that flash recognizes the XMLList as having 9 > children, ignoring the tags > > when I was expecting three children , each one of them with also 3 > children ( the tags ). > > Why? > > 2009/8/28 Isaac Alves : > > Hello list, > > > > I have the following XML ( i get that by tracing > > "tabsContentSlideshow" which is a XMLList. > > I-d like to use something like > > > > tabsContentSlideshow[slide][1] > > > > slide is an integer, so for example, if the slide 2 is showing, this > > statement would return the first node inside the second node > > , that is: > > > > SLIDE 2 > > > > but it doesn´t work like that. > > how could I do it ?? > > > > thanks in advance ! > > > > > > > > CONECTE-SE > > Bem-vindo ao Conecte-se! > > Aqui você encontra vida!

That happens to me on this list sometimes, but only this list. Seems this list only accepts pure text formatted e-mails and if you forget that and send in another format, it rejects your messages silently. Sorry about that. Isaac, here was my reply to your question yesterday from the thread, "help with frame navigation and xml": You don't need any code inside the clip, I think you're approaching this the wrong way around. Why have the XML node based on the frame's label? You already know it's going to "intro" since you have to tell the MovieClip to go there. Do something like this instead: var destination:String = "intro"; myClip.gotoAndPlay(destination); myClip.myTextField.text = myXML.myNode.(@destination); Or could be this if your text is in the text node: var destination:String = "intro"; myClip.gotoAndPlay(destination); myClip.myTextField.text = myXML.myNode.(@destination).text(); Hope that helps, Jason Merrill Bank of America Global Learning Learning & Performance Soluions Monthly meetings on making the most of the Adobe Flash Platform - presented by bank associates, Adobe engineers, and outside experts in the borader multimedia community - join the Bank of America Flash Platform Community (note: this is for Bank of America employees only) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] Re: a function tells to move to a frame and then update content in that frame
HEy Jason, don't worry, that's not a porno web site.
"tit" is for "title" ..:D
if that's not the answer you were expecting, it is not a website, it
is a "powerpoint-like-presentation" to be run off-line, with a whole
bunch of an endless content (that is, a terrible nightmare), that i
have to pick from .doc files.
so everything is in an xml file, and this function puts the content of
a specific element in the content.xml file and organizes it all on the
display list.
that was the only way i found to do this kind of job, otherwise (if i
put content directly into the .fla file) the flash application gets
extremelly lagged and thus impossible to work, which was making me
completely insane .
so... that's i'mtrying to build this function that tells a certain
moviecli'p to go to a specific frame and then update content in that
frame, like searching text in an xml file and putting in the textfield
on that frame.
i'll have to do that because this updateContent function won't fit in
some specific frames of the presentation
thanks!

this is possibly a very basic problem, I'm still building my dynamic
global sub nav, slooowly.
what I want to know if can I add a string to a function,
I have my initial first level navigation, I click a button and then if the
button has children in that section it says true and then brings up the
corresponding children to populate that subnav,
I was going to have 3 separate functions for the subnavs
what I'm unsure about is the line: 'createSubNav "+page"();

[Flashcoders] a function tells to move to a frame and then update content in that frame
Hello!
In the following code, i tell the Flash runtime to go to frame2 and
update the content of this frame.
The problem is that, the first time this function runs it throws the error:
TypeError: Error #1009:
I believe that happens because it tries to update "container._tit"
before render the screen, so it will be still in frame 1. It goes to
frame 2 but doesn't update the _tit textfield.
I've tried to solve it this way: instead of using gotoAndStop(2) i've
called another functiion with that statement and updateAfterEvent();
but it seems that it is not a method of the Event class.
Any solution ??
thanks in advance!!
