how to call a feed from yahoo pipes into flash? here is the rss feed that yahoo says to reference to obtain the xml: [URL] whenever i try to call that, as if calling any other xml file, flash says the file cannot be opened.
View 2 RepliesI'm doing this project right now where I want to simulate fluid flowing through pipes. The pipes have 90* corners and sometimes there are forks in the pipes (splitting it into two pipes). Attempting this with tweened animations seemed to be too complex, so I'm using setInterval and duplicateMovieClip to do it.
I had this idea to use "redirectors," movieClips would redirect any movieClip that hit them. For instance, if I have a ball_mc moving horizontally and it hits a redirectUp_mc movieClip, the ball_mc's direction changes to "up". Of course, there will be many ball_mc clips... and as I start to get more complicated paths, the number of corners increases, too. That causes the number of hitTests (to check if the ball_mc clips are hitting the redirectors) to skyrocket... unless I can find a more efficient way to do it, that is.
Is there a way to check if I've hit any instance of the "redirectUp" movieClip? That would cut the number of hitTests down to 4M, which is way better than M*N (where M is the number of ball_mc clips on the stage, and N is the number of redirector_mc clips). Or, is there a better event model to use than hitTest?

View 1 RepliesI need some brilliant Flash experts to weight in on an article we wrote at the advertising agency I work for. We put an article together about the ability for Flash to be indexed by Google and Yahoo. It's a two sided debate between Search Engine Optimization (SEO) guys and Flash guys. SEO is killing Flash right now in the debate.[URL]
View 1 RepliesIn the past week it appears that Yahoo has changed their crossdomain file to only accept Yahoo domains [URL]This is causing my applications that use Yahoo Maps to stop working (i.e. security exception). I cannot proxy the calls to Yahoo because the URL is embedded in the MXP file that Yahoo distributes.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to build some GUI for a level editor using Yahoo's ASTRA Flash Components using the FlashDevelop IDE. After finally including all the "Global Classpaths", I managed to almost get it to compile apart from one Warning that causes the build to fail.
Code:
C:UsersJoshDesktopFruitBoxsrccomyahooastraflcontrolsMenu.as(720): col: 31 Warning: return value for function 'anonymous' has no type declaration.
This is apparently where the warning is triggered:
PHP Code:
// Activate the menu
//this.setFocus();
setFocus();
//set a timeout to fix an issue with accessibility events
var func:Function = function(){ dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE))};

I am trying to make a flash widget using yahoo weather API. Since it uses RSS I thought it was simples but I am stuck. I just don't know how to extract info inside this xml line:
<yweather:units temperature="C" distance="km" pressure="mb" speed="kph"/>
My complete code is:
var location_id:String='POXX0022';
var grades:String='c';
var url:String="[URL]"+location_id+"&u="+grades;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I'm trying to use the Astra library from Yahoo but I'm getting an error saying the base class BaseScrollPane is not found. It appears to be imported from fl.containers.BaseScrollPane, which leads me to believe it should be a part of the base flash 10 library and therefore should be available, but it appears to be missing. Is this part of a separate package from somewhere?
Update: For what it's worth, I found the actual class files in the Configuration/Component Source folder on my hard drive, but adding that to the class path (as well as the Components directory) did no good. I ended up fixing the issue by dragging a scroll pane component to the stage from the Components window and then deleting it, but I'm not sure what exactly that action changed that made it work, and would like to know for future reference.
So yahoo astra has grate compohent for saving inputed data. They show examples of how to use it. But I had not found one capable to solve my current problem. For example user inputed his name. It is saved, but when he comes again he always needs to input at least first latter of his name. so I wonder - how to make Yahoo astra autocompletemanager component to pop up last inputed into it value on application creation complete?

View 3 RepliesI'm able to format and display the text within my swf, however once its uploaded to the internet - the text either won't show up, or the flash player shows a security error "flash player is trying to communicate withI've tried to feed the data through to my own domain, but I'm not sure how to program for it. I've found php examples online, but I'm not sure how to implement them either. I need the stock quote price to display and update either once a day, or only when the swf loads. Currently I'm using the following code to retrieve the data (within flash):
fl_TextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var fl_TextURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=SNA.V&f=l1sd1");

I am changing over one of my projects from google maps to yahoo maps and was wondering who out there has experience with the yahoo maps api. Below you will see the code i was using with the google maps api to create custom markers using a library item as that marker. The library asset has some variables that need to be defined as you will see in the first part of my for loop. and this function needs to clear all the previously created overlays, before the for loop is run.
[Code]...
My problem occurrs when I change the yahoo written example:
[AS]
import com.yahoo.maps.tools.PanTool;
import com.yahoo.maps.markers.CustomPOIMarker;
myMap.addEventListener("initialize", onInitMap);
function onInitMap(event:Object):Void {
var panToolanTool = new PanTool();
[Code] .....
Ive taken out the EventListener as it never picked up onInitMap() and displayed the map without it, maybe this is where the problem is? It even recognises the text if you put lots of text into the description, as in it make the bubble alot wider but just doesn't show the actual text.
I have made an web site and I put it on the ftp address on the web. The site is full flash. My question is how can I make it visible on google search, or yahoo? Is there a piece of code that I have to insert on the html file that wraps the flash swf?

View 1 Repliespull some simple text from an external website's RSS feed into a basic text box in a Flash movie. It would need to be in AS2 to fit with the website. The RSS feed is on a PHP page: [URL]
I understand I need to pull the content via an xml / php page under my own domain in order to get around the Flash security, but I still can't scrape together the right code for it to work.
I made this BlogFeed.swf file. Everything works just fine in Flash IDE. It loads the XML, renders it, displays fine and that's it: the world is filled with love and data.
The problem occurs when I try to use my swf online.
Here's the scenario:
SERVER A (Altervista)
hosts the swf file, trying to read the RSS Feed from...
SERVER B (my client's server)
serves the RSS Feed of his blog
[ things I already tryed ]
1) I wrote a crossdomain.xml file (allowing SERVER B domain to access the swf), place it at the same level of the swf file on SERVER A;
2) Set System.security.allowInsecureDomain("*") in the flash file
3) checked on both servers the server-to-server permissions (Altervista lets you do this via its own control panel; the client's server needed me to email the support: did it and they allowed me to connect)
4) moved the swf on ANOTHER server, on which I am completely sure that server-to-server communications are allowed, since I already did something like that.
Nothing changes: always getting the damn HTTPStatus = 0 and no items are shown.
What I really don't understand is why it does work from Flash IDE connecting to SERVER B and it fails (with NO IOError and HTTPStatus = 0, so no debug hints at all...) when I use it in server-to-server mode.
setting up an RSS feed into my flash site. I've been trying to work with the code below, but when it displays the code includes all the HTML code of the RSS feed (ie image and link tags). I'd also like it to scroll.

var feed:XML = new XML();

View 3 RepliesI have never looked into RSS feeds before, I now have someone that wants Yahoo rss newsfeed embedded in his main.fla. I have an AS 2.0 rss newsreader he sent to me, knowing nothing about RSS I started to look around and eventually got to a point where I went to a Yahoo RSS feed and copied the source page and dropped it in the xml file that came with the feedreader. When saved, published and uploaded to the server the file displays the feed from yahoo fine, but it never update the stories. I would think this has to do with the xml as it is embedded in the page so it can't change so my question is how do I get an rss feed converted to xml to update???
View 1 RepliesCan you load an RSS Feed onto a web site with only Flash AS3 or do you need something else like flex?
View 1 RepliesI am making a website that needs to read a RSS feed from a blog and then place the information into flash. I have gotten as far as getting the information into flash and viewing it. However I can't get the scrolling functions to work nor do anything else with the feed. The goal is to be able to format the feed in the way that it is online so that it is scrollable but only the most recent post on the feed. Do I have to change how the information is being used in flash to better manipulate it such as xml? Or is is something I've overlooked while using the rss feed code?

View 2 RepliesI'd like to know if you can stream someone's facebook feed in Flash. At the least, it seems you can stream an RSS feed in Flash (I'm not an advanced user, sorry if thats an obvious question), and since Facebook offers an RSS feed for each profile, I'd imagine I could stream that RSS feed.Is there a "standard" way to stream a Facebook feed in a full flash site? Is it possible at all?
