ActionScript 1/2 :: Loading XML Based SWF In FLA Presentation
Apr 12, 2011
In fact, I make flash CD presentation in Adobe Flash CS5 AS2 (with minimal use of ActionScript). I need to load flash image gallery that I already have created, in new presentation file. Gallery was created in Flash Slideshow maker and as products I have. Swf,. XML and folders with thumbnails and picture (no. Fla file). The concept of the presentation (as root is concerned) should look like in uploaded picture "izgled otvorenog cd-a". In each of the folder on cd presentation (as on picture) is a Flash presentation controlled by their xml file whose name I must not change.
Exe file "Prezentacija 2011" is a presentation (Flash Projector) that I try to make. In the same presentation I create frames and for each of the frames added action:
loadMovie ("02_Kapije/kapije.swf", "kapije_ucitavanje");
kapije_ucitavanje._x = 23; kapije_ucitavanje._y = 167; stop ();
(Of course, for each item varies loadMovie root and instance name).
The problem is that presentations can't find xml file, apparently because they do not have the appropriate root. When all the files of the one gallery set in the same folder with the "Presentation 2011.exe" file, everything works normally (however, as I said, I cannot change the name of Xml file and that disturb the concept of my CD presentation). How can I drive loaded swf file from the above script to use Xml file in its folder? Here is my root foldersand link for presentation files : [URL].

I wonder if any body could help me. I am currently working on a flash presentation which will be running on a 40" Plasma Screen. What's the perfect size to set up my flash file. At the moment my file is 800 x 600 pixels. I only have one .jepg image at the intro and the rest of the presentation is vector based.

I'm loading an XML document that contains properties about "slides" in a presentation. When the XML loads each slide builds as an object with it's params. Everything works perfect except now I need to add graphics, instead of just text, to the stage based on the slide object params. I have an object in the library being exported as "StateMap". In my xml params of the slide it's name is StateMap. How can I convert the string StateMap into a display object and then add it to the stage?
So if Slide 1B has 4 lines of text and an image from the library, I want to build the 4 lines on the stage and then place the image on the stage. The image is exported for actionscript in the library but I cannot get the xml to store a name or reference and figure out how flash converts that to a display object.

As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?

I have a text box which when submitted will action a specific task depending on what its contents is, so for example, you type "one" in and it will bring up a picture of a boat where as if you type in "two" and press enter it will bring up a picture of a car. Now thats all working fine, what I have an issue with though is that with several of the tasks I want it to open the same window but load different content within that window depending on what word was typed.
So if you type "one" it will load a grey window and load within that a picture of a boat, but if you type "two" it will load the same window but load a picture of a car inside it. Now the way i can see this working is when you submit the box it sets a variable and when the window loads, depending on what that variable is set to it will load the relevant info.
[code].....
I have also tried placing that last bit of code within "window" instead of "winbod" but it still doesn't work. I'm pretty new to variables so I know it will be to do with me not placing them right. Where abouts am i going wrong here?

Is there a way to load a MC based on an internal clock (or if that's too complicated, a digital clock based on the Digital Clock tutorial)? I also read up on the Loading Random MC tutorial, which is helpful but rather than it being random is there a way to set it so that the MC loads, for instance, everyday at noon? And it would keep this MC generated for 24 hrs until the next one that loads 24 hrs later.

I'm trying to load a different .gif file based upon the time of day. I figured what I wrote would work, but alas, I was wrong. Here's what I got:
Code:
files=["sunrise.gif", "morning.gif", "midday.gif",
"afternoon.gif", "twilight.gif", "night.gif"]
var currentHour:Number = myDate.getHours();
[Code]....
I know I can take out that first array, and I do believe I can take out the minutes and seconds, but I left the code as is, in case I screwed it all up. Oh and the pictures have no paths because I imported them into the actual .fla.

I'm trying to set up a flash based blog that can be updated with php and mysql and will handle text, images and video. I understand the basics of setting it up using php to generate xml files for flash to read, but the one problem I am having is figuring out how to load videos into flash. The goal is to be able to load as many videos as needed in their own players, so it wouldn't be like a playlist of videos but rather like how on a regular blog you would post youtube videos in their own unique players.
So far all of the things I have found have been related to loading videos in a sort of media player with playlists but yet to find a good solution for this. Is there a relatively simple way to use actionscript 2 to load a flv?

I have an instance of button with a dynamic text field which is getting the text from an external txt file. What I am trying to achieve is to have it load from a different text file based on its instance name. The end result i want to achieve is each instance of the button has its own unique name based on its corresponding txt file, i assume this can be done based on its instance name.
The code I am using is below
ActionScript Code:
var button_text:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
button_text.onData = function (src:String):Void {
if (src != undefined) {

I have an interface file, which allows the user to drag mc's onto the stage and save their xy position in accordance to a position on a timeline. For example, mc1 is at x50, y50 at timeline position 1.
I am using an array to save all parameters. When the user is finished they can click play to view an animation of the mc's moving about the stage.
I want a button which will somehow save this animation into an external swf. This swf needs to be independent as it will be loaded onto a website.
I have tried to figure this out in many ways. I am new to actionscript but slowlly getting there.
I have looked into using a shared object, to save the xy positions etc which are then loaded into the swf2. The problem with this, is the swf2 is dependent on the SO plus the SO is temporary. I need to be able to hand swf2 over to the guy to put on his website.
I have also looked into using an intermediate .as code file. I have worked out how to put an mc onto swf2 using the graphic held in the interfaces library. I started working out how to click a button on the interface swf which then attaches the mc into swf2.. but then I realised swf2 still isnt independent.
Now I am completely pulling my hair out. This thing is due soon and I am out of ideas.
Failing everything I thought I could just use a capturing software to record the animation as it plays... but with all the time I have spent on this and how far I have come in actionscript it is annoying that I cant work this out.

I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.

I'm creating a presentation for a client and in this presentation I need a lead up page which has a series of editable text fields, and I'm not quite sure where to start.
1. There is to be a field where the client can punch in thier number and it will bring up information which is stored in an external database (Excel?), if they don't know their number however, they then have the option of filling it out manually. I then need this to immediately create a new .txt file which will become this customers reference (provided one doesn't already exist).
2. Any information that is edited during the session needs to be able to be SAVED to an external .txt file (as above), which can then be called upon if the same client (number) is typed into the field mentioned above.
3. The presentation then moves on to a customisable shopfit, where the client decides how they want their shop to look (this part is already complete and tested and works fine). However, at present I have a print button which the customer can select and it will print out their options, but it has been requested (as I think the reps like to leave their printers in their other suit jackets) that I have an email option, this needs to email the picture (which normally gets printed) AND the information which was entered into the customer reference page.

I am still running Flash MX (04). Because I find flash a little more useable than other progs, I am using it to create a presentation. I am creating a project that I intend to only use as a standalone SWF (not uploadable to a site or anything). I intend to play the SWF full screen on a laptop and output to an LCD projector as a presentation. I have the stage set at 1024 x 768 and am using movie clips imported/embedded (which arent the full 1024x768 but slightly smaller ), text, photo's and audio. I am nearly 2/3rds the way through and the SWF file size is growing (currently at 16 meg). I expect it to be in the region of 90 meg + or so as some audio yet to be loaded and still photos are quite size heavy. Is there any way i can get the audio to sound a little clear as when the SWF is published the sound seems to lose a little quality in the compression. Also, what is the maximum size you would recommend a standalone SWF in this scenario should/could be?

I have a presentation .fla from a client which is published to an .exe projector file. this is my first tome working on a file published for this so I'm a bit confused. Within the fla folder is another fla which is titled player. That file calls background music thru an xml file which I can figure later but my problem is this.
if I add the mp3 voiceover to the xml list when the published file plays it of course starts at 001.00 the voiceover needs to be edited to fit within the presentation. How can I drop the swf of the riginal presentation inside an app then add the voiceover on another layer and be able to edit to match sort of what I would do in IMovie. I have the CS5 master Suite so I'm sure one of the apps does this/
