ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Offline Content Management System
Mar 21, 2005
I'm working with FLash+XML, and I had a thought: I don't want to give my clients Flash+XML solutions, if they will have to edit the XML themselves. It's too complicated for them.So I thought of a Flash Application for offline use, that would be some sort of a XML Content Management System, built in flash, suitable for offline use (user should upload updated .XML files which is OK). In this app, creating / editing / removing nodes should be like managing folders and their content in Windows Explorer!
I don't believe my mind is bright enough to be the first having this idea, perhaps such program already exists. Does it? If not, please enlighten me: which kind of function allows me to "write to XML file, offline"?

Is there a best way to put a content management system into a Flash website so (very IT illiterate) people can update text on certain pages? Im expecting a simple notepad document that they can FTP to a specific folder is the best way but I didnt want to give them access to the entire site.

I have a meeting with a potential client this upcoming Wed. If I am hired, I will be redesigning his website, the major components he wants are galleries of his sculpture art and a way to update the images himself.
My idea: develop a custom CMS so he or his secretary can easily update what images are in the online flash galleries. My idea right now is an HTML/PHP form where they would enter what gallery the image goes to and maybe an upload button for the image, they hit submit and the PHP form edits an XML document which is where the gallery gets its image info from. Can anyone help me figure out how to do this? Or if there is an easier way to develop a CMS for them to update the images in the gallery themselves? Being able to remove images via a custom CMS would be ideal.

I am planning to build a giant management system in Flex 4.0, and I just wanted to know what are some pros and cons of using 4.0 (or 4.2) over 3.5? Lighter components? Faster pipelines? What are some things I can look forward to when using Flex 4.0?

I need some advice integrating our content management system with FMS. We are currently using Oracle's Universal Content Management 10g and FMS 3.5.
I am able to get the test video to stream by creating a VOD streaming application in Flash (drag/drop FLVPlayback component and setting the content path to rtmp://serveraddress/vod/TestVideo). However, when I try to incorporate it into UCM the video doesn't load. I have tried checking the .swf skin, .swf video, AC_RunActiveContent .js file, and even the .html file (I have edited the .html file to reflect the new path for the uploaded .swf and .js files) and I still get nothing. I suspect that the .swf video file that creates the connection to the FMS server has something encoded into it that can't be called correctly once it's uploaded to UCM. If this was a traditional website where I could simply drag and drop the files generated by flash into the site's hierarchy, there would be no problem.

I have a section on a site that my client wants the ability to add her own links within. So basically she wants the ability to content manage that section of the SWF.
I know how to do this using XML but I'm not comfortable presenting it that way to my client. Is their a clean and easy-to-use way for my client to add her own links into the SWF? She has no HTML experience so that's why I'm hoping there's a simple way to allow her to do this. Is it possible to build an HTML page that has 2 input fields and a submit button. The first input field would be for the link name and the second would be for the link path. Then submitting that data would update the SWF file? (I'm sure that I'm over simplying this but I thought I would throw that out there)

I've set up an event listener to check if an image has been loaded. If yes, then change the width and height of it. I achieved this by using .target.loader.content. It works fine on my machine, but things are different, when I upload the swf to the server. the images get loaded, but aren't resized as they were offline. What might be causing this? What changes should I do in the snippet to get it working.This is the function that is called using the eventListenerfunction setImage(evt:Event){ sig_txt.text =evt.currentTarget.content.toString(); var loader:Bitmap = evt.target.loader.content as Bitmap; gallery_mc.addChild(loader); var ratio:Number = loader.width / loader.height; loader.width = 100; loader.height = 100 / ratio; loader.y = total_height; total_height += loader.height + 20

I have made a site for an artist with a dynamic gallery using an xml file. I am trying to create a way for him to update the gallery by simply uploading his new photos through a html form. I have an image upload form which puts the images in the directory which the xml file references but I cant figure out how to generate a new xml file to show all the new pictures. Are there any easier ways to achieve an updatable gallery?

I have a client who wants a Flash Photo Gallery.That bit is easy, I've created tons of those... The troublesome bit is that the client wants an easy way to update his gallery.PHP content management system I could use? I've looked into Gallery2, and Plogger but haven't found any tutorials about pulling XML data out of them and into Flash.Does anyone have any experience using a Photo Gallery content management system and plugging it into Flash?

I've developed a CMS system that allows users to change the textual content and save the changes back to an XML doc.All works fine in English but the writing to the XML Keeps falling over when it reaches a foreign character.. Even when wrapped with the CDDATA tag.The application needs to support users translating the content into different languages.
I'm using zinc to write out the XML string.During runtime all changes are stored back directly to the XML object ( the same one that is loaded at the start and is used to populated the CMS) then I use XML.toString() to create a string variable to pass to zinc to save out the file..

In order to work offline I'm using XAMPP to develop a website which is working great except that I can't see any Flash content. External Flash players have no problem working offline but obviously won't load anything but SWFs and FLVs. Is there a way to get Flash to work in a browser while offline?

I'm building a site that needs to work both online (served in a browser using http://), and offline (served in a browser using file:///). The site is using basic HTML, but needs to be able to play FLV or MP4 videos. There are many video players that work online, but getting a player to work on the users machine is more problematic. Every one I have tried either doesn't work or shows a message about adding the flash movie to my trusted files in flash player.[code]Has anybody experienced a similar problem? Does anybody have a suggestion for alternatives that may work.

I've recently created a game in which the logic and programming all runs perfectly, however the graphics are lackluster. I'm currently having a hard time managing the depth of movieclips on the screen.Basically the game is tile based and each frame of the movieclip holds a different type of tile. All the tiles are 50x50 with the exception of one type of tile which is 60x60 and therein needs to overlap the tiles around it which are 50x50.In AS2 I could of set the depth manually, however I'm told (as is this is my first time dealing with depth in AS3) that I cannot do this anymore. Is there any suggestions on how I can make sure that a tile of one type is automatically set beneath tiles of another type - I've thought about simply coding a function to check this but it somehow seems inefficient (considering larger maps will have a lot of tiles, meaning hundreds of movieclips attached to the stage, each movieclip with multiple frames).

I am trying to create a 'Password' database with flash to push both to and from an external database, the only problem is that I do not want to have to run IIS or Apache or any other web server. Is there any way to read a non localhost/web based type database within flash? If so can someone point me to a tutorial or
at least in the right direction?

I am currently using Flex (Flash Builder 4) and making web service connections to a Apache PHP Zend AMF server to retrieve data. This works great, but I am wondering what options are available for fault tolerance. I know I can probably set up a second server that the application would switch to in the event it is unable to reach the first server. I am also thinking about trying to give each individual machine some tolerance.
For example, if they at least had the ability to input data to the application, that would be a start. So if they click 'save' and it can not reach the server, it caches it or stores it to a local file until the server is back up. Though lack of being able to do data look-ups might be a big problem. Maybe there are already some libraries or something I can look at to do this?

I've recently sucessfully ported a PHP/MySQL driven search to an offline Flash and XML format. It works perfectly loading its results from a large selection of XML files.The problem I have lies with Msie under SP2. Since there is a html frame structure for the offline site the browser silently fails to show the Flash movie that loads the XML files from the hard drive and displays search results. Another movie is responsible for collecting the search query and sends it to the results movie through a localConnection. Msie under SP2 obviously needs to be configured to allow this Flash file to be loaded and to let it retreive its xml files. My question is, are there nicer ways to work around this problem other than asking the viewer to manually configure his/her Internet Explorer..
