THERMOMETER GOAL METER (XML)

On adding unique text to Marks: I’ve tried a few things in AS but no success as it’s being built dynamically and movie clip coming from library. Beyond me so far. If you have any suggestions, appreciated. I’ll keep working on it – thanks!

Hi there, How I can change the $ currency sign. I need € oder ?.

Thanks in advance

Regards Uwe

Would it be extremely difficult to add a form where an end user can enter a number and it would effect the thermometer in real time when they hit the submit button? ( for instance if you’re tracking a total time goal for a group, rather than currency)

Is there a way to enlarge the marks area of the thermometer? I have a $5,000,000 goal but the file is cutting off the numbers. Also, can I make the thermometer longer, so I can have more marks?

Thanks so much, it’s a great file!

Thanks, I made the text areas a little longer, and it solved the problem, and it’s ok if I can’t make it taller. As for the goal - I believe in dreaming big! :)

I’m looking forward to more great files from you!

also i wanted to ask when someone views the flash and then a few mins later they come back and the donation total so far may have changed but the flash is stillcached in the browser and the new values do not show without clearing the temp internet files and refesing the page

Even when you close the browser and re open the stuff is still the same

Is there a way to stop th xml file and falsh from being cached like this and the old content being used instead of what is currently in the file?

me again lol

I noticed a kind of serious problem with the script, every time the current value of donations received is a number ending in 5 it des not display properly

So or example if a doation total so far was

340 it would display 340

if it was 348 it would dislay 348

BUT if it were 345 it would display 344

I have tested this wih various different numbers

What could be wrong?

to get incredibly secific i just ran some more tests and

305 315 325 335 all come up as 304 314 324 334 (the last one flickers 5 for a split second then goes back to 4)

345 is fine 295 is fine

I had it set with a goal of $1,000 and marker increments of $250 $500 $750

Anyway you could make the file AS2 ?

I have a question. When the goal of 2,000,000 is reach or surpassed, why does it continue to run the animation and then the current dollar amount disappears? Shouldnt it stop and just display the value of the current amount?

hey im trying to reference the xml file reference from an exact web address. What do i have to do to this to make it work? At the mo

var xmlString:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“xml/thermometer.xml”); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlString);

I thought it would just a simple change to below but it doesn’t work.

var xmlString:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“http://www.website.com/xml/thermometer.xml”); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlString);

What must i do? Thanks for the help

Hi ones i reach the current number how could i restart the animation?

Thanks a lot

Great Work

HI, Ive just purchased this component, but when i download, it says flashden_thermometer-goal-meter-xml_21690.mp3

Why is this in mp3 format?

I notice that the question about caching of the xml file was never addressed. I too am having this same issue. I have to clear the Temp Internet Files every time I change the value. This is a major problem for me.

Please advise.

Thanks!
