I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how easy (or tricky) it is to get data exchanged (either directly or indirectly) between Flash and Excel? IF generally it's to be avoided then is/are there any other option(s)
View 3 RepliesI want a user to press an excel button and get prompted to download an excel file. I normally do it like this:
var dest:String = excelEndpoint;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = dest;
fr.download( request,'Locates.xls' );
fr.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, handleStatus);

I'm building an interactive flash application that will be used on a projector and projected onto a floor. The flash application will be showing a pool of water that when the cursor moves it will disturb the water, this much I have working fine so far.What I want to do however is add two things:
1) Display messages within the pool either by using a text file as a flat-file database or by typing them into a web page form and then submitting them in real-time to the flash app. Looking for ways of doing both (examples would be awesome)
2) Instead of using the cursor I'm looking to track a persons movements using a camera, is there any good software/plugins I could use to help with this?
I Want to use a component like the VisualExploer in microsoft Academic Page
I want to use a silverlight, flash or javascript component in a similar way.
I would be so grateful if you provide me a solution.
I have a movie which is serving as a button.When you rollover the image, it grows, and stops.When you rollOut, it shrinks, and stops.This code works fine. The Problem:When you scroll the mouse over quickly, the animation get stuck and doesn't execute the rollOut code.This is most likely because the first rollOver action hasn't yet completed.Here's my code:
thumb_test_4.onRollOver=function () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}[code]....
Is there any way to export the data from Flash to Excel.
Can anyone give me the reply for this solution.
For a project requirement, I want to make available editing of an excel file through browser. The only possible ways that I could think of was by embedding the excel file either in Flash or Silverlight. I am building my project on asp.net mvc3 c#. I wanted to know that is there a way by which this could be achieved? I shall be happy to start an open source project is need be so that people who are interested can collaborate together.

View 1 RepliesI have pretty good basic "action script" skills for developing flash files and movies, but I don't know how to do dynamic things with asp, aspx, etc. I have a local application that runs form my computer and is not connected to the internet. The application keeps track of button clicks on each buttton as separate variables. Here is my question ... each time the flash movie runs and buttons are clicked, I want to record the clicks on each button (which exist in the application at runtime) and save them to something like an excel spreadsheeet or access database. Any easy way to do this without getting into server-side stuff?

View 3 RepliesHalf way through;user saves the answers to a CSV file to a location.then continue the test and save the 2nd part to the same location (different file name). The next person completes the same test, and theoretically saves in the same location OVERWRITING the file. HOW IT SHOULD WORK when they overwrite the file, it SHOULD add it to the next ROW in the excel (csv)document, not overwriting the WHOLE file. In the end, you would (in theory) have a number of rows in one excel document, each row, a different user who completed the test The issue is: on the MAC computer, this works (im not sure if it's because the previous developer developed it on a MAC) however when I play it or move it to windows computer; It overwrites the whole CSV file, and doesn't add it in the rows.Here is the main code (half way through) for the first save:
Code:
stop();
qNum.text="Q 11-13";

Which should read Excel files in Flex, but I'm working on a Flash application, and it looks like as3xls relies on a number of Flex only functions and types (ArrayCollection, NumberFormatter, etc.)
Since I'm not familiar with Flex, I'm having a difficult time making the adjustments myself.
Has anyone built a Flash app that reads Excel 97-2003 files, and is willing to share tips or code?
Is it possible to use flash to read and write data on an excel/google documents file?

I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.
So I have inherited this flash project which when completely published is basically a tutorial video for software. It is set up such that there is one large movie that loads other flash movies via actionscript (I guess).
The project was supposed to be designed so that it would be easy to make translated versions, so all the software UI items (File menu, tool box, etc.) are cut into pieces and in the library. In theory a person could go and just switch out the library graphics and presto, you have a French version instead of English.
While all these elements are in the library, you can never actually see them on the stage in Flash. When you publish the project, all the items are in place. I have hunted through the actionscript and don't see the images called up.
Does anyone know how these images are being called up into the actual final swf?
I have 1656x1332 px 30fps movie clip sliding or rotating on click event inside of 850x550 px stage. For some reason the clip gets stuck on rotation sometimes, even though the whole file is only 46 KB. Moreover, depending on browser, the rotating part can fly completely off the stage and the only way to get it back is to refresh.[code]
View 4 RepliesI have simple sliding pages mechanism in my flash file, all done with AS3 code. Now the pages, which are movieclips, are slid off the screen on a button press. Sometimes, everything goes smoothly, but on some people's computers the sliding pages get stuck in the middle, and then the next slide starts from the wrong position. This throws everything off the loop.
View 1 RepliesI run a school lab with a few users on each machine. One students came up with a problem. She is always in outline view, even when the outline button in the layers panels is not punched. When I log in to the same machine, I do not have the problem. I assume the problem is in the user preferences file. We are on Windows 7. I went into AppData and deleted what I thought was the preferences file, but it continues to return. Anyone have any ideas why I can't get her out of outline view? Adobe Flash CS5
View 3 RepliesI have an issue with SWFAddress in Flash: when the user navigates to a page within my flash app, I call "setValue". This changes the URL in the browser's address bar, which in turn calls the "externalChange" event in flash. This event causes the flash app to load the page displayed in the url bar... so the app keeps changing the flash page and updating the url bar into infinity.
How do I know if the url bar was changed by flash or manually by the user?
