Automate Google Analytics Reporting Using Google Apps Script

Editors note: This has been cross-posted with the Google Analytics blog and the Google Developers blog -- Jan Kleinert

Many people have been asking for a simple way to put Google Analytics data into a Google Spreadsheet. Once the data is inside a Google Spreadsheet, users can easily manipulate Google Analytics data, create new visualizations, and build internal dashboards.

So today we released a new integration that dramatically reduces the work required to put Google Analytics data into any Apps Script supported product, such as Google Docs, Sites, or Spreadsheets.

Here’s an example of Google Analytics data accessed through Apps Script and displayed in a Google Spreadsheet.

Custom API Dashboards - No Code Required

We know that a popular use case of this integration will be to create dashboards that automatically update. To make this easy to do, we’ve added a script to the Spreadsheets script gallery that handles all this work - no code required. The script is called Google Analytics Report Automation (Magic).

This script is a great template for starting your own project, and we’ve had many internal Google teams save hours of time using this tool. Here’s a video demoing how to build a dashboard using this script:

You can find this script by opening or creating a Google Spreadsheet, clicking Tools -> Script Gallery and searching for “analytics magic”.

Writing Your Own Script

Of course many developers will want to write their own code. With the new Analytics – Apps Script integration, you can request the total visitors, visits, and pageviews over time and put this data into a spreadsheet with just the following code:


// Get Data.
var results = Analytics.Data.Ga.get(
    tableId,
    startDate,
    endDate,
    ga:visitors,ga:visits,ga:pageviews,
    {‘dimensions’: ‘ga:date’});

// Output to spreadsheet.
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().insertSheet();
sheet.getRange(2, 1, results.getRows().length, headerNames.length)
    .setValues(results.getRows());

// Make Sandwich.

To get started now, read our Automated Access to Google Analytics Data in Google Spreadsheets tutorial. Also check out the Google Analytics Apps Script reference docs.

Solving Business Problems

Are you ready to start building solutions using Google Analytics and Google Apps Script?

We’d love to hear new ways you use this integration to help manipulate, visualize and present data to solve business problems. To encourage you to try out this integration, we are giving out Google Analytics developer t-shirts to the first 15 developers to build a solution using both APIs.

To be eligible, you must publish your solution to either the Chrome Web Store or the Spreadsheets Script Gallery and include a description of a business problem the script solves. We’ll then collect these scripts and highlight the solutions in an upcoming blog post. After you publish your script, fill out this form to share what you’ve built.

We’re looking forward to seeing what you can do with this integration.

Announcing Election Info Using Apps Script to Provide Voting Information

It’s time for the 2012 General Election in the United States and along with it comes the tedious process of finding your voter registration, polling sites, times, directions, etc. The previously announced Google Civic Information API provides a great service to programmatically obtain much of this information based on the your home address. Google Apps Script makes it really quick and easy to build a web application that queries this information and uses various Google services to organize and track your information.

Election Info is a sample application built using Apps Script that can:

Query the Google Civic Information API to find polling locations and hours using client side JavaScript and AJAX.
Display polling information using HtmlService with jQuery for a clean effective UI.
Generate static maps via UrlFetch and the MapsService to show polling maps and directions.
Create a calendar event for election day with your polling location using the Calendar service.
Generate a bring-along document with poll directions and hours using the Document service.
Send you an email with a summary with your polling place information using the Gmail service.
Store your previous searches in UserProperties so it will remember your likely home address the next time you launch the app.

As you can see, this is a comprehensive sample app that is useful while also highlighting key Apps Script capabilities.

Install the app from the Chrome Web Store. Check back soon as we will be writing a blog post with details and sample code on how the sample was built.

Documents List API Best Practices Sharing Multiple Documents Using Collections

Google Docs supports sharing collections and their contents with others. This allows multiple Google Docs resources to be shared at once, and for additional resources added to the collection later to be automatically shared.

Class.io, an EDU application on the Google Apps Marketplace, uses this technique. When a professor creates a new course, the application automatically creates a Google Docs collection for that course and shares it with all the students. This gives the students and professor a single place to go in Google Docs to access and manage all of their course files.

A collection is a Google Docs resource that contains other resources, typically behaving like a folder on a file system.

A collection resource is created by making an HTTP POST to the feed link with the category element’s term set to http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007#folder, for example:

<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind"
      term="http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007#folder"/>
  <title>Example Collection</title>
</entry>

To achieve the same thing using the Python client library, use the following code:

from gdata.docs.data import Resource

collection = Resource(folder)
collection.title.text = Example Collection

# client is an Authorized client
collection = client.create_resource(entry)

The new collection returned has a content element indicating the URL to use to add new resources to the collection. Resources are added by making HTTP POST requests to this URL.

<content 
  src="https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/folder%3A134acd/contents"
  type="application/atom+xml;type=feed" />

This process is simplified in the client libraries. For example, in the Python client library, resources can be added to the new collection by passing the collection into the create_resource method for creating resources, or the move_resource method for moving an existing resource into the collection, like so:

# Create a new resource of document type in the collection
new_resource = Resource(type=document, title=New Document)
       client.create_resource(new_resource, collection=collection)

# Move an existing resource
client.move_resource(existing_resource, collection=collection)

Once resources have been added to the collection, the collection can be shared using ACL entries. For example, to add the user user@example.com as a writer to the collection and every resource in the collection, the client creates and adds the ACL entry like so:

from gdata.acl.data import AclScope, AclRole
from gdata.docs.data import AclEntry

acl = AclEntry(
    scope = AclScope(value=user@example.com, type=user),
    role = AclRole(value=writer)
)

client.add_acl_entry(collection, acl)

The collection and its contents are now shared, and this can be verified in the Google Docs user interface:

Note: if the application is adding more than one ACL entry, it is recommended to use batching to combine multiple ACL entries into a single request. For more information on this best practice, see the latest blog post on the topic.

The examples shown here are using the raw protocol or the Python client library. The Java client library also supports managing and sharing collections.

For more information on how to use collections, see the Google Documents List API documentation. You can also find assistance in the Google Documents List API forum.

AS3 Animation Tutorial Using the AS3 EnterFrame Event to Create Animation in Flash Video Tutorial

by Alberto Medalla
Lecturer, Ateneo de Manila University

You can use AS3 to add some animation to your Flash project using code. Instead of adding tweens on the timeline, youll be using AS3 to animate objects. In this ActionScript video tutorial, Ill show you a few simple examples on how to create animation in Flash using the AS3 EnterFrame event.

AS3 Animation Tutorial - Using the AS3 EnterFrame Event to Create Animation in Flash

AS3 EnterFrame Event Animation Sample Code #1
Here is the code for the first example where the circle will continue to scale up as long as the movie is running.

var growthRate:Number = 2;

circle_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, grow);

function grow(e:Event):void
{
     e.target.width += growthRate;
     e.target.height += growthRate;
}

AS3 EnterFrame Event Animation Sample Code #2
In the second example, the animation will stop when the circles size reaches 150 pixels.

var growthRate:Number = 2;
var maxSize:Number = 150;

circle_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, grow);

function grow(e:Event):void
{
     e.target.width += growthRate;
     e.target.height += growthRate;
     if(e.target.width >= maxSize)
     {
          circle_mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, grow);
     }
}

AS3 EnterFrame Event Animation Sample Code #3
In the third example, the code has been modified to make the circle grow and then shrink repeatedly.

var growthRate:Number = 2;
var maxSize:Number = 150;
var minSize:Number = 100;
var scaleMode:String = "grow";

circle_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, growShrink);

function growShrink(e:Event):void
{
     if(scaleMode == "grow")
     {
          e.target.width += growthRate;
          e.target.height += growthRate;
          if(e.target.width >= maxSize)
          {
               scaleMode = "shrink";
          }
     }
     else if(scaleMode == "shrink")
     {
          e.target.width -= growthRate;
          e.target.height -= growthRate;
          if(e.target.width <= minSize)
          {
               scaleMode = "grow";
          }
     }
}

Creating a Pentomino game using AS3 Part 18

In this tutorial well create a level validation system.

For a pentomino level to be valid, it has to pass a few checks. The two conditionals Im placing for a level to be valid is the correct cell count and correct shape count. The cell count must be divideable by 5 and remain a round number, and the number of shapes must be enough to fill all the cells.

First of all go to the pentomino_editor object in your Flash library and add a new button to the tool panel, give it an id of "btn_save".

Now go to the script file and in the constructor add a mouse click listener for this button. I also added 2 lines that set canPutShapes mouseEnabled and mouseChildren properties to false.

public function pentomino_editor() 
{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

// add shape buttons
for (var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++) {
for (var u:int = 0; u < 3; u++) {
var shapeButton:MovieClip = new edit_shape();
shapeButton.x = 528 + u * 62;
shapeButton.y = 15 + i * 84;
addChild(shapeButton);
shapeButton.bg.alpha = 0.3;
shapeButton.shape.gotoAndStop(3 * i + u + 1);
shapeButtons.push(shapeButton);
shapeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
shapeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, buttonOut);
}
}

// buttons
btn_mainmenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMainmenu);
btn_reset.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function():void { newLevel() } );
btn_save.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSave);

// new level
newLevel();

addChild(gridShape);
addChild(canPutShape);
canPutShape.mouseEnabled = false;
canPutShape.mouseChildren = false;
}

The click event handler traces "Save!" if the level passed validation. We use checkSave() function that returns a boolean value for validation.

private function doSave(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (checkSave()) {
trace("Save!");
}
}

First thing we do in that function is declare some variables and count how many cells there are using a loop:

// count total cells
var totalCells:int = 0;
var i:int;
var u:int;
var width:int = mapGrid[0].length;
var height:int = mapGrid.length;

for (i = 0; i < height; i++) {
for (u = 0; u < width; u++) {
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 1) totalCells++;
}
}

Check if the total cell count number divided by 5 is not a round number, trace an error in that case and return false:

// check if total cells can be divided by 5
if (totalCells / 5 != Math.round(totalCells / 5)) {
trace("Error! Incorrect cell count: " + totalCells);
return false;
}

Now count how many available shapes there are:

// count total available shape count
var totalShapes:int = 0;

for (i = 0; i < shapeButtons.length; i++) {
totalShapes += shapeButtons[i].count.value;
}

As you can see, we use the values of the "count" NumericStepper objects inside each edit_shape object.

Then we check if the number of cells is greater than what the available shapes can provide:

// check if there are enough shapes available
if (totalCells > totalShapes * 5) {
trace("Error! Not enough shapes available: " + totalShapes + " out of " + totalCells/5);
return false;
}

And we return true if everything is ok.

Full function:

private function checkSave():Boolean {
// count total cells
var totalCells:int = 0;
var i:int;
var u:int;
var width:int = mapGrid[0].length;
var height:int = mapGrid.length;

for (i = 0; i < height; i++) {
for (u = 0; u < width; u++) {
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 1) totalCells++;
}
}

// check if total cells can be divided by 5
if (totalCells / 5 != Math.round(totalCells / 5)) {
trace("Error! Incorrect cell count: " + totalCells);
return false;
}

// count total available shape count
var totalShapes:int = 0;

for (i = 0; i < shapeButtons.length; i++) {
totalShapes += shapeButtons[i].count.value;
}

// check if there are enough shapes available
if (totalCells > totalShapes * 5) {
trace("Error! Not enough shapes available: " + totalShapes + " out of " + totalCells/5);
return false;
}

return true;
}

How to Connect XenServer and Operating VM Using Java

At the time of final year project in MCA we have done a challenging project on citrix xenserver. Initially we did research and learn about virtualization, xenserver and xen java API concepts later we decided to do a web based project and named as xenserver management on cloud computing. We developed a web console to interact with xenserve and performing various operations on it. In our project we did different modules like establishing connection with xenserver, getting the xenserver version, vm creation, VM destroy and virtual machine life cycle. Life cycle is nothing but VM start, stop and reboot.

It is difficult to explain all modules so I will cover most useful functionality how to connect xenserver using java and VM life cycle using java. Don’t be confuse VM is called as virtual machine and it a guest operating system.

Android beginner tutorial Part 85 Embedding fonts using Assets

In this tutorial we will learn how to load and use a font from an asset.

Assets are somewhat similar to resources, yet different. While resources are embedded into the application and can be referred to using the R class, assets are raw files that are stored in the assets directory and require us to manually read them to use them in our applications.

Today well learn how to embed and use a raw .ttf font file as an asset in our application.

First of all you need to find the ttf file. You can download fonts online, I use fontsquirrel.com - all the fonts there are free and pretty good.

Once you have the .ttf file, put it in the assets directory of your project.

Then go to activity_main.xml of your application and add a TextView there:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
    
    <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/myText"
        android:textSize="36sp"
        android:text="Hello world!"
        />
    
</LinearLayout>

Now go to MainActivity.java class and load the font using Typeface.createFromAsset() static method. Once the font is extracted, apply it to the text using setTypeface() method:

TextView mytext = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myText);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "yukarimobil.ttf");
mytext.setTypeface(face);

Heres the full code:

package com.example.codeforfoodtest_two;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity{

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

TextView mytext = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myText);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "yukarimobil.ttf");
mytext.setTypeface(face);
}
}

It is that easy!

You can use assets to store all sorts of files and read them byte by byte or using whats provided by the Android SDK, like the Typeface.createFromAsset() method just now.

Thats all for today.

Thanks for reading!

Creating a Pentomino game using AS3 Part 14

In this part well start working on a level editor.

The level editor will allow the players to create their own levels by designing the base grid and specifying, how many of each shape is allowed.

Start by going to the main_menu object and adding a new button with id "btn_editor". Then go to main_menu.as and add a click event listener for this button, add a handler that goes to the thrid frame on the main timeline if the button is pressed.

package  
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

/**
 * Open-source pentomino game engine
 * @author Kirill Poletaev
 */

public class main_menu extends MovieClip
{

public function main_menu() 
{
(root as MovieClip).stop();
btn_play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doPlay);
btn_editor.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doEditor);
}

private function doPlay(evt:MouseEvent):void {
(root as MovieClip).gotoAndStop(2);
}

private function doEditor(evt:MouseEvent):void {
(root as MovieClip).gotoAndStop(3);
}
}

}

On the third frame, create a MovieClip thats a duplicate of pentomino_game object. Its not the same movie clip, but a duplicate. Set its class path to "pentomino_editor". Now create a new class pentomino_editor.as based on pentomino_game.as code.

We need to delete a lot of code that wont be used from this script, so Im just going to explain what (and why) are we going to keep in the code.

We basically only need grid generation code and shape button code, since we are not going to actually put shapes on the grid. We dont need to rotate the shapes on roll over either, this would just confuse the users. We are going to keep both Reset and Main menu buttons, but only the Main menu button will be functional today. One of the most important things to note is that we wont create select_shape instances for each shape button, but instead well create edit_shape instances. They will also be 22 pixels higher, so the positioning code along the y axis will have to be slightly modified as well.

Overall, here is the whole code for pentomino_editor.as:

package  
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Point;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;

/**
 * Open-source pentomino game engine
 * @author Kirill Poletaev
 */

public class pentomino_editor extends MovieClip
{
private var mapGrid:Array = [];
private var shapeButtons:Array = [];

private var gridShape:Sprite = new Sprite();
private var canPutShape:Sprite = new Sprite();
private var gridStartX:int;
private var gridStartY:int;
private var gridCellWidth:int;

public function pentomino_editor() 
{
// default map
mapGrid = [
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
];

// grid settings
calculateGrid();
addChild(gridShape);
gridShape.x = gridStartX;
gridShape.y = gridStartY;

// draw tiles
drawGrid();

// add shape buttons
for (var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++) {
for (var u:int = 0; u < 3; u++) {
var shapeButton:MovieClip = new edit_shape();
shapeButton.x = 528 + u * 62;
shapeButton.y = 15 + i * 84;
addChild(shapeButton);
shapeButton.bg.alpha = 0.3;
shapeButton.shape.gotoAndStop(3 * i + u + 1);
shapeButtons.push(shapeButton);
shapeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
shapeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, buttonOut);
}
}

// buttons
btn_mainmenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMainmenu);
}

private function calculateGrid():void {
var columns:int = mapGrid[0].length;
var rows:int = mapGrid.length;

// free size: 520x460
// fit in: 510x450

// calculate width of a cell:
gridCellWidth = Math.round(510 / columns);

var width:int = columns * gridCellWidth;
var height:int = rows * gridCellWidth;

// calculate side margin
gridStartX = (520 - width) / 2;

if (height < 450) {
gridStartY = (450 - height) / 2;
}
if (height >= 450) {
gridCellWidth = Math.round(450 / rows);
height = rows * gridCellWidth;
width = columns * gridCellWidth;
gridStartY = (460 - height) / 2;
gridStartX = (520 - width) / 2;
}
}

private function drawGrid():void {
gridShape.graphics.clear();
var width:int = mapGrid[0].length;
var height:int = mapGrid.length;

var i:int;
var u:int;

// draw background
for (i = 0; i < height; i++) {
for (u = 0; u < width; u++) {
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 1) drawCell(u, i, 0xffffff, 1, 0x999999);
}
}
}

private function drawCell(width:int, height:int, fill:uint, thick:Number, line:uint):void {
gridShape.graphics.beginFill(fill);
gridShape.graphics.lineStyle(thick, line);
gridShape.graphics.drawRect(width * gridCellWidth, height * gridCellWidth, gridCellWidth, gridCellWidth);
}

private function buttonOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.currentTarget.bg.alpha = 1;
}

private function buttonOut(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.currentTarget.bg.alpha = 0.3;
}

private function doMainmenu(evt:MouseEvent):void {
(root as MovieClip).gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

}

We use edit_shape MovieClip, but we dont have it yet. Go to your Flash project and create a new movie clip by duplicating select_shape. Delete the "count" text field and instead of it drag and drop a NumericStepper object from the components library (Ctrl+F7), position it so that its right under the square background, leave no gap between them.

In the end, this is what the screen looks like:

Creating a Pentomino game using AS3 Part 25

Today well add the ability to set names for saved levels and start working on reading and displaying saved levels.

Firstly go to save_screen MovieClip in Flash and add a second frame there - add an input text field with id "tName" and a button with id "btn_save_final". This will be the step that comes after the user presses "Save level locally" - he will be asked to pick a name for the level before saving it.

In save_screen.as, add a line that stops the MC at first frame in the constructor:

stop();

In the onSave() function, go to second frame and add a listener for btn_save_final button that calls onSaveFinal handler function:

private function onSave(evt:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
btn_save_final.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSaveFinal);
}

The handler calls closeHandler, removes the event listener and the window, and saves the level using Pentomino.saveLevelLocal(). We pass a thrid value here - tName.text:

private function onSaveFinal(evt:MouseEvent):void {
closeHandler.call();
btn_save_final.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSaveFinal);
this.parent.removeChild(this);
Pentomino.saveLevelLocal(currentGrid, currentShapes, tName.text);
}

Full save_screen.as class:

package  
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

/**
 * Open-source pentomino game engine
 * @author Kirill Poletaev
 */

public class save_screen extends MovieClip
{

private static var Pentomino:MovieClip;
private var currentGrid:Array;
private var currentShapes:Array;
private var closeHandler:Function;

public function save_screen(pentominoReference:MovieClip, getGrid:Array, getShapes:Array, onClose:Function) 
{
stop();
Pentomino = pentominoReference;
currentGrid = getGrid;
currentShapes = getShapes;
closeHandler = onClose;
btn_play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlay);
btn_save.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSave);
btn_cancel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onCancel);
}

private function onPlay(evt:MouseEvent):void {
removeEverything();
Pentomino.playLevel(currentGrid, currentShapes);
}

private function onSave(evt:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
btn_save_final.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSaveFinal);
}

private function onSaveFinal(evt:MouseEvent):void {
closeHandler.call();
btn_save_final.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSaveFinal);
this.parent.removeChild(this);
Pentomino.saveLevelLocal(currentGrid, currentShapes, tName.text);
}

private function onCancel(evt:MouseEvent):void {
closeHandler.call();
removeEverything();
}

private function removeEverything():void {
btn_play.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlay);
btn_save.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSave);
btn_cancel.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onCancel);
this.parent.removeChild(this);
}

}

}

In main.as in the saveLevelLocal() function we take this third parameter and apply its value to levelObjects "name" property:

package  
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.SharedObject;

/**
 * Open-source pentomino game engine
 * @author Kirill Poletaev
 */

public class main extends MovieClip
{

public function main() 
{
}

public function playLevel(grid:Array, shapes:Array):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
game.playLevel(grid, shapes);
}

public function saveLevelLocal(grid:Array, shapes:Array, levelName:String):void {
var sharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("myLevels");
if (sharedObject.data.levels == null) sharedObject.data.levels = [];
var levelObject:Object = new Object;
levelObject.grid = grid;
levelObject.shapes = shapes;
levelObject.name = levelName;
sharedObject.data.levels.push(levelObject);
sharedObject.flush();
}

}

}

In saved_levels.as declare 3 new variables: levels, pages and currentPage:

private var levels:Array = [];
private var pages:int;
private var currentPage:int;

The levels array takes values from SharedObjects levels array, unless its null. The pages value is calculated in the constructor. We also call a function goPage(1) in the constructor:

public function saved_levels() 
{
savedLevels = SharedObject.getLocal("myLevels");
btn_back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doBack);
if (savedLevels.data.levels != null) levels = savedLevels.data.levels;
tInfo.text = levels.length + " levels (" + savedLevels.size + "B)";
pages = Math.floor(levels.length / 3) + 1;
goPage(1);
}

Before we move on to goPage() function, open the saved_levels MovieClip in Flash and set the ids of 3 saved level item MovieClips to item1, item2 and item3.

Now well add the goPage() function. The function receives page number and updates the tPage text field, then sets alpha of all level items to 0 and mouseEnabled and mouseChildren values to false. Then we calculate the index in the levels array for each level in the page (there are 3 levels on each page) and if that item on that specific page exists, set the respective level items alpha to 1, mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to true, and tTitles text value to the "name" property of the respective level item in the array.

private function goPage(pageNum:int):void {
currentPage = pageNum;
tPage.text = "Page " + currentPage + "/" + pages;
item1.alpha = item2.alpha = item3.alpha = 0;
item1.mouseEnabled = item2.mouseEnabled = item3.mouseEnabled = false;
item1.mouseChildren = item2.mouseChildren = item3.mouseChildren = false;

if (levels[3 * (currentPage-1)] != null) {
item1.alpha = 1;
item1.mouseEnabled = true;
item1.mouseChildren = true;
item1.tTitle.text = levels[3 * (currentPage-1)].name;
}

if (levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+1] != null) {
item2.alpha = 1;
item2.mouseEnabled = true;
item2.mouseChildren = true;
item2.tTitle.text = levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+1].name;
}

if (levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+2] != null) {
item3.alpha = 1;
item3.mouseEnabled = true;
item3.mouseChildren = true;
item3.tTitle.text = levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+2].name;
}
}

Thats all for now.

Full saved_level.as code so far:

package  
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.SharedObject;

/**
 * Open-source pentomino game engine
 * @author Kirill Poletaev
 */

public class saved_levels extends MovieClip
{
private var savedLevels:SharedObject;
private var levels:Array = [];
private var pages:int;
private var currentPage:int;

public function saved_levels() 
{
savedLevels = SharedObject.getLocal("myLevels");
btn_back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doBack);
if (savedLevels.data.levels != null) levels = savedLevels.data.levels;
tInfo.text = levels.length + " levels (" + savedLevels.size + "B)";
pages = Math.floor(levels.length / 3) + 1;
goPage(1);
}

private function goPage(pageNum:int):void {
currentPage = pageNum;
tPage.text = "Page " + currentPage + "/" + pages;
item1.alpha = item2.alpha = item3.alpha = 0;
item1.mouseEnabled = item2.mouseEnabled = item3.mouseEnabled = false;
item1.mouseChildren = item2.mouseChildren = item3.mouseChildren = false;

if (levels[3 * (currentPage-1)] != null) {
item1.alpha = 1;
item1.mouseEnabled = true;
item1.mouseChildren = true;
item1.tTitle.text = levels[3 * (currentPage-1)].name;
}

if (levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+1] != null) {
item2.alpha = 1;
item2.mouseEnabled = true;
item2.mouseChildren = true;
item2.tTitle.text = levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+1].name;
}

if (levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+2] != null) {
item3.alpha = 1;
item3.mouseEnabled = true;
item3.mouseChildren = true;
item3.tTitle.text = levels[3 * (currentPage-1)+2].name;
}
}

private function doBack(evt:MouseEvent):void {
(root as MovieClip).gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

}
