Re: [Flashcoders] String to array

2007-04-12 Thread Muzak 
That's because the data hasn't loaded yet. Loading external assets is 
asynchronous, so it takes time for them to load.
How long it takes depends on how large the data is and how slow/fast your 
connection is.

To determine when external assets have loaded and are available an event 
mechanism is your best option.
loadVariables and loadVariablesNum don't have such an event mechanism and 
therefor you should no longer use them (unless you're 
publishing to Flash 5).

With Flash 6 a new class was introduced to handle loading external assets, 
LoadVars, which has an event mechanism (onLoad/onData).

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/2323.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/2331.html

Try the following (not tested):

import mx.utils.Delegate;

var _lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

function loadvarsLoadHandler(success:Boolean):Void {
trace("Application ::: loadvarsLoadHandler");
trace("- success: "+success);
trace("- myVars: "+ _lv.myVars.split(","));
}

this._lv.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, this.loadvarsLoadHandler);
this._lv.load("FlashMenuLoader.asp");


// asp return value (note there's no spaces between words, just the comma):
&myVars=Corporate,Fund of Funds,Single Manager Funds,Perfomance,Client 
Services&dummy=

Muzak

Re: [Flashcoders] String to array

2007-04-12 Thread Arul Prasad M L 

Looks like you are not waiting for the data to be loaded into your SWF
before you split.

Try using LoadVars and wait for the onLoad event, and then do a split.

something like:

var _lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
_lv.load(FlashMenuLoader.asp);
var my_array:Array;

_lv.onLoad = function ()
{
mm_array = mivariable.split(",");
trace(mm_array);
}

Haven't tested that, but you'll get the basic idea.
Hope that helps.

My original array was:
var mm_array:Array = ["Corporate", "Fund of Funds",  "Single Manager
Funds",
"Perfomance", "Client Services"];

Now I want to load those values from an .asp file. My asp returns a string
like:
mivariable=Corporate, Fund of Funds, Single Manager Funds, Perfomance,
Client Services

So, Im trying this:
loadVariablesNum("FlashMenuLoader.asp", 0, "GET");

var mm_array = mivariable.split(",");


But I'm getting an undefined value. What's wrong?

Thanks in advance.

[Flashcoders] String to array

2007-04-12 Thread Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio 
Sorry for the question, I found some examples on google but I still cannot
figure out what's worng with my code. I hope you guys can help me.

My original array was:
var mm_array:Array = ["Corporate", "Fund of Funds",  "Single Manager Funds",
"Perfomance", "Client Services"];

Now I want to load those values from an .asp file. My asp returns a string
like:
mivariable=Corporate, Fund of Funds, Single Manager Funds, Perfomance,
Client Services

So, Im trying this:
loadVariablesNum("FlashMenuLoader.asp", 0, "GET");

var mm_array = mivariable.split(",");


But I'm getting an undefined value. What's wrong?

Thanks in advance.
