ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash-Based Blog Aggregator?
Jul 31, 2006
Right off the bat, I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I appologize if this has been covered. So here we go: I'm looking to build a clean, little blog aggregator (Multiple sources: LiveJournal, BlogSpot, etc.) built into a Flash file. The best example of what I'm looking to build would be Michael's Mini-Reader. Thing is, I haven't the slightest of how to aggregate RSS/XML feeds into a Flash file. So any [detailed] suggestions? AS is where I tend to faulter in my projects; better at the artistic end,

I want to create something similar to "Karrine Cast" on http://www.karrine.com/home/ - something where I can record myself on web cam every week and then upload it and display it in flash. Without having to open up flash and render it into FLV, then import it, do coding etc change my move etc. Something simple, quick and easy to be able to display videos. Is there a tutorial or some sort of premade code that would allow me to do this?

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've maintained a blog on my site, and it's a real pain to post in it because everytime I do it, I get TXT files from people using PCs (I use macs), and when I copy and paste that text into flash, it adds double the lines they used. So I have to edit them to take out all the extra spaces.
If that wasn't bad enough, The titles and content use different fonts and different sizes, so they're two different static textfields. And to set each posting apart from the other, I added a line between them. But for it to look good, this has to be in the exact middle between the end of one post, and the next post's title. But since each post has a different size, it's also a pain to measure that distance everytime I add a post. So I was thinking, one way for me to solve all this is to make a movieclip which does all the calculations by itself, and draws text from an external textfile. Maybe using HTML text I can have two different fonts and sizes in one textfield, instead of two?
Anyway, what I want is to just get the new post from people, paste the new text inside the TXT file, overwrite the one on the server with it and voil, that way I don't even have to open flash when adding new posts.
Anyone have a good way to do this? And then, for extra coolness, maybe if I get this working, I could make a page where the posters could log in and post...this page would save the post to the txt and that would make posting a lot easier because then they don't need me to post!

I remember doing some work where I put a dynamically changing PHP page into flash, I'm curious can the same be done by cutting out the PHP programming? I'm new to AS3 so I'm not sure what the protocol is now.Previously the hierarchy looked something like this.1. Input done on upload.php2. upload.php pass information through a handler.php3. handler.php outputs data.xml4. site.swf imports and uses information from data.xml to display blog

I need to have an existing blog that can be viewed from within a Flash web page. The idea is to access and read a blog without leaving the Flash site. I have seen a widget on Flash Den that does this but only works in AS 3.0 The Flash site that needs the blog was done in AS 2.0. I would think this could be done in AS 2.0

Is this as simple as using an XML image gallery's setup? The thing is, for a school project we can do whatever we want, but there has to be a blog. Since we want to make our site in Flash, I had this thought to use XML so my other team members (who have no clue on how to work with flash) could just as easily update the XML file and we have our "blog". Now the way I had this in mind (but I'm not that experienced with XML) is I have a movieClip container which would be added at every new XML line. Within this movieClip there would be a textField to fill with our babbling and a sprite/movieClip which will hold an image. That's about it.

I'm looking to build a Flash site and would like to have a page for a blog so as to upload information, videos and maybe user comments (undecided of yet).
How would I go about this? Should it be done in Flash or would it be better to embed HTML into the Flash?

I am pulling a blog into flash through an XML sheet. I have a clip in the library that gets attached per blog entry. The issue I am having right now is not all the posts are the same length so I am trying to adjust the clips background to the height of the post text box, but they are all reading as the same height so they aren't properly adjusting. I even have the text boxes set to autoSize = true;
Here is my code..the resizeBlog function is where I am trying to resize it and then I want to adjust its y property accordingly.

I'm working on an entirely flash-based site for a client who has already been using Blogspot for his News/Homepage updates. He wants to continue updating through Blogspot, but wants the blog to automatically fill in the text box on the flash site Homepage. I'm not sure if this is possible, or how I would go about doing it.
Here is the blogspot page: [URL]

I would like to make a site that is easy to update video and text. Is there a way to insert a blog into a fully flash site? I don't know if there is a blog that's made in flash or something like that. I'd like the video and text to be easier to update than xml. HTML blogs are really convenient, but I'd like some flash to make it more dynamic and more of a full website, than just a blog.

I create a video in Flash using import->video. I select my .flv file and a skin.The .flv is on my hard drive. The component parameters reflects this location.I want to upload the video to my web server to display on my MovableType blog.
If I change the properties in Flash to reflect the server location Flash says "could not upload video." So I kept the component property to reflect the location on my C drive.I import that Flash media into dreamweaver to get the HTML code for my site.It works fine when I preview in Dreamweaver.I thought I could then change the code to reflect the new location of the file.I have done this using an online embedding program, but then I have no skin or ability for user to control playback.So I can get the video to the web with an online embedder,but the code generated by Dreamweaver does not work. The frame for the video appears, but there is no content.

I using the news ticker example to create a flash sig for my blog of highlighted posts. The question is there anyway of creating an automatic xml updater? So that all I would have to do is place some sort of "highlighter" tag in a post, then the xml file would be updated, thus a new link appear in the news ticker? I guess if I some how had rss for a tag, that then the xml was read into the flash file.

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 got a .XML that is "created" with PHP from a MySql-database. I then load the .XML data into Flash. What i want to do now is the tricky part(for me)
This is how my XML looks right now (more will be added):
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<entries>
<entry>
[Code]....
And when i add another Entry into the XML i want the SWF to auto input.
I think i would somehow loop trough everything and insert to variables, but how and then how do i make flash add textfields for every entry and childnode in a nice way. I want to be able to scroll this later on.
