Motion-Twin ActionScript 2 compiler (MTASC) ActionScript3:Importing XML into Dynamic Textboxes - virtualMVwiki From virtualMVwiki Introduction Use ActionScript 3 to import external data and display in dynamic Textboxes, using the same XML file used in the ActionScript 2 example of the same name. Creating the XML file Create an XML file. <? Save in a folder as people.xml. Load the XML The first thing to do is to check that the XML file that you have created is accessible and can be loaded. import flash.events.Event; import flash.net.*; var myXML:XML = new XML(); var XML_URL:String = "people/people.xml"; var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL); var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL); myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded); function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void{ myXML = XML(myLoader.data); trace("Great! Test the movie, you should get the trace statement in the output window. Return each XML elements contents to the output panel The output panel should now show something like this: Return the contents of a XML node to a Text Box HOT TIP! Next up: Looping through the entries.

Home Hello, this is the Open Flash Chart project. Get graphs like this for free: How does it work? User browses to your web site.The browser downloads the web page which contains the Open Flash Chart.Open Flash Chart downloads the data file and displays the chart. When you add Open Flash Chart to your web page, you tell it where to find the data file. We also do pie charts. Why is that great? When the user downloads the web page, Open Flash Chart requests the chart data from the server. Add a bit of pizzazz to your bar charts! Is it complicated to set up? You will need to include the Open Flash Chart in your HTML, and you also need to provide the data file on the server. For a simple chart you would just drop the data.txt file on your website and point the Open Flash Chart to this URL. But what we really want is dynamic data that is pulled from a database or calculated or something. To make this a bit easier there are PHP, Perl, Python and Java classes to write the data file for you. Get started! Yes.

Flash Reference Guide | Loading Movies into Levels and Target Movie Clips Last updated Aug 22, 2003. There are two ways through which you can load SWF and JPG files: into a level and into a Movie Clip. Loading into a Level Within Flash you can place difference elements on layers. You see this clearly when you create layers in the Timeline Panel. Movie Clips added in a top level layer will appear to ride on top of Movie Clips on lower layers. Levels are similar. Figure 2 To do all of this you need ActionScript. For this demonstration I have already created a movie called navigation.swf. Create a new movie. You can load movies into additional layers, but you cannot load two or more movies into the same layer. loadMovieNum("navigation.swf", 5); loadMovieNum("form.swf", 5); loadMovieNum("picture.jpg", 5); ActionScript will keep loading each movie into the same layer. There will also be times when you want to unload a movie clip. unloadMovieNum(5) You can see that you do not need to identify the name of the file you are unloading, only the level. Targeting a Movie Clip

Charts And Graphs: Modern Solutions - Smashing Magazine Advertisement Charts are supposed to visualize data in order to give a more profound understanding of the nature of a given problem or recent developments. Whatever type of data presentation you prefer (pie charts, bubble charts, bar graphs, network diagrams etc.), you can create charts in graphic editors manually or use special desktop-software instead. In both cases you have a major problem: once you’d like to update an old chart, or create a new one, you have to run the application and create new images over and over again. That’s not flexible. Server-based solutions, implemented with Flash, JavaScript or pure CSS, offer a more flexible alternative. If you use Ajax- or JavaScript-frameworks you might already have powerful chart components integrated into the library by default. The Dojo Charting Engine can generate graphs and charts with few JavaScript snippets. Many server-based solutions are quite versatile, so you can use them to create a variety of charts and graphs in minutes.

US Federal Contract Spending Data Visualization :: Pitch Interac This is our original work A sans-circle version An additional iteration that helps address the overlap and transparency between the connections and labels. What our government spends vs. how much we talk about it. For the right visualization, we used the New York Times API to parse through all articles written in 2009. You can find detailed federal spending data on this page and the results of the NYT API call we made. Thanks to Political Math ( for bringing our attention to an initial assumption we made that was incorrect. Below is an iteration made by Political Math that shows the TOTAL amount of federal spending. Our focus here was on exploring new ways to visualize government data. What's the problem with contract spending? That said, the work we did is still valid for the point we want to make. As with the process of all other visualizations we do, our process was evolutionary. Now, how we went about creating this piece: US Federal Contract Spending

digup.tv Flare | Data Visualization for the Web mapequation.org Network Visualization Immersion by the MIT Media Lab is a view into your inbox that shows who you interact with via email over the years. Immersion is an invitation to dive into the history of your email life in a platform that offers you the safety of knowing that you can always delete your data.Just like a cubist painting, Immersion presents users with a number of different perspectives of their email data. It provides a tool for self-reflection at a time where the zeitgeist is one of self-promotion. The base view is a network diagram where each node represents someone you've exchanged email with. We've seen views of our inbox before and they usually just show simple time series charts and people who you email most.
