ActionScript 2.0 :: Making An XML News Reader Based Off Of Senocular Squirrel XML News?
Mar 24, 2007
Making an XML news reader based off of senocular Squirrel XML news.
I'm using Fuse and wanted to target the dynamic text and or background portions of the headline section.
However, this movie clip is attached to the menu_mc so I'm stumped as to what I should exactly target for the fuse sequence (or any mx.transition/zigo engine based code-tweening process for that matter).
I've attached the files in a .zip for people to look at (and possibly conquer my problem!
I'm trying to create a flash xml editor based on senocular's news editor but I am having some trouble getting the xml file to load. My xml file is structured as below[code]...
I am trying to make a very simple rss reader to display news feeds. All I really want to do is have a text box display the first item of the feed, wait for a moment, then display the next one. I've been searching around and can't find any decent tutorials on the subject.
I have a question concerning this AS3 script, which is for XML-NEWS-READER i n FLASH
ActionScript Code: var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded); var imgLoader:Loader = new Loader(); imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImgLoaded); var url:URLRequest/*
[Code]...
As you can see there is a MovieClip in the Library: NEWS_item. The Clip has a textfield and a Imag field(a MovieClip). While the text is passed in the text fields of the NEWS_item Clip there should be afterwords the photos be placed with addChild(imgLoader). But online the last Image appears. What is wrong here?Does someone have experience with xml readers an images ?
I found this news reader on [URL]. [URL] web_appl...s_xml_easybit/ It does pretty much what I want, but I need to be able to add url links in the main text. Anyone know how I can go about doing this?
I'm trying to use Senocular's News Editor from the xml tutorials, but for some reason when i add new entries, they dont save to the xml file. The "news_save.php" page gives the following errors:
Warning: fopen(readwrite/news.xml): failed to open stream: Permission denied in .../news_editor/news_save.php on line 7 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in .../news_editor/news_save.php on line 8 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in .../news_editor/news_save.php on line 9
I would like to create a Flash file using AS3 that pulls info from three different nodes in an XML file. The pic below is a screen shot of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Here's an example of my XML: <?xml version="1.0"?><rss version="2.0"><channel><title>kstp.com - MORE NEWS</title><item><title>State announces details of Minnesota FluLine </title><description><![CDATA[<img
I want to implement an XML news reader with images and video links( youtube for example) in as3. Does anyone know where i could find and example or at least, how to read video links from an XML file in as3?
I am working on the news ticker module (AS2) where I have to fetch news from xml and populate that news headings into four text fields and these 4 headings will stay for a while and fade until last record. this process will continue.
I wanted to add a second news box under the first one and have it pull the first two news items in the xml file and have it displayed on the movie. Currently it is putting the first news item in both news boxes.ction script so that the second box is actually the second "<news> tag". From the tutorial I removed the <info> <author> and <comment> tags.
How can I make such a News-Ticker as on URL...(The nice box, which has 4 advertisements is ment)I´m making a website for a friend and want to add something like this. Unfortunately its the first time I´m using Flash.
looking to build a horizontal news ticker like you would see at the bottom of the screen on CNN etc except it will only display one item at a time. Just thinking and planning before I start.... If the news ticker is only going to be wide enough to display one news item at a time, will my flash load all of the xml news data as soon as it launches and hide all the content that is outside of the ticker width or would/should it only load/display each news item individually when it is that items turn to display in the ticker?
Been butting my head against the wall on this one. Im making a news app that loads xml data and diplays the data onto 3 seperate textfields. The 3rd textfield has auto size set to true, so that the height of each instance of the attached movie is always going to be different from each other. I need to figure out how to get the height from each instance of the attached movie and use those numbers for the verticle tiling so that they dont run into each other.
heres what I got so far. Its the "duke news" box. If you scroll down in the news box, you will see that the text starts running into each other.
I created a News Ticker in Flash CS3 from a tutorial on your site URL...But it just flashes "undefined" I know I must be messing something up with the location of the XML file or where it's defined in the action script. I don't think I understand the "cache" part of the tutorial or why the file can't be local? I have gone to the suggested links in the tutorial, and being a total novice, I must be missing some main point.
I am trying to load a news feed in xml. It works fine when I run it in flash by clicking ctrl + enter but when I load the .swf in the browser or try to load the .html in the browser I get a Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation:
I just want a horizontal news ticker that loops a bunch of news headlines that are housed in an xml file. the headlines will link to pages will the full news story.
I am going to redesign a website and for that website I want there to be a news section on the homepage. The news section should be built in Flash with images representing news headlines animating on a loop however a user should be able to click one of these images and then within the homepage a Flash pop up will appear with the news article. This is similar to sites that have an image gallery with thumbnails of images but when an thumbnail is clicked then the full size image loads within the same webpage. I want a similar effect but in my case, when a full size image is clicked, a text based news article loads.
I'd like to make a news slider for flash that not only shows images and text, but can also play videos that are presented as news, through an XML file or something.A good example is the flash news slider that ea.com uses, which can play videos on clal as well.Can anyone direct me to a tutorial or guide me here on how I cna achieve this through Flash CS4?
Here is what I'm trying to do: recreate the news ticker from [url]...
HEre is the trick: The client wants to be able to change the news themselves via an external .txt file, the also want each piece of news to link and the link will change..
I've got the text loading into the .swf just fine, but I have no idea how I can make the news pieces hot to a dynamically changing link that will be changed by them
I am action script handicapped so bare with me. I know very basic action script functions like go to frame stop, play ect So complicated flash code does not really work for me unless it is explain easy and clear step by step. I know the animation portion of flash which helps me get by. I need to know how to pause a scrolling text as simple as possible when I click mouse over it.
I created a button (which is really displayed as text so that I can link to a website url) (SEE IMAGE)
The text is animated from frame 1 off screen to frame 400 top off canvas off screen. I did this the animation way instead of the coding way. So it should scroll from bottom to top (which I animated with frames), link to a new site (which I figured out), and pause on mouse over and play on mouse off.
I'm trying to make a news system, loaded from XML ... headers dyn created, onreleases ... so far..sorting the xml data (on DATE; xx/xx/xx) and storing it into an array for further violence I just found out something about this:
[AS] var myArray:Array = new Array(); myArray.push({day: "18", month: "02", year:"04"}); trace(myArray); [/AS]
I am creating a flash app for a soccer website I'm doing for me school. What I have so far is a main section where news can be viewed and stuff.I have another part of the app that allows for someone to log in and add new news for everyone to see on the main screen. Is this possible without FlashCom and/or db?
I found a script at on the web that emulates the news scroller found atI would like to add images to each news headline so it can replicate the effect found at

Anyone know of a good news ticker component? (Or a straightforward way of coding one in AS3?) We need to incorporate a horizontal ticker at the bottom of a site. It doesn't need to feed RSS. It'll just be populated with little factoids the client will provide. I initially purchased and integrated this one[url]...
Worked pretty well. Unfortunately, the developer who is building out the site just informed us that we need one that works in a .net environment and this component parses the XML through PHP. I'm a noob at all this so I don't even know exactly what I'm talking about!
