If i have a huge website, and i want to be able to change the "news" section without FIXING the whole .fla and exporting, and uploading it, would it be possible to do this without all of this stuff. can this be done through passwords, inputting text boxes, and dynamic text boxes?
View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 2 RepliesI am in the process of building a web site and am running into an issue with dynamic loading text.I am trying to make a scrolling news section with a stage of 200 W x 250 LCreated a movie clip with the following coding:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
Then set the clip (which is 250 W x 600 L) on the main stage, moving upwards, creating the auto scroll effect.The problem I am running into is that I can't figure out how to make the text use the whole width of the text box I created. It only uses half of the width, creating columbs like this:
Hello and
welcome
to our new
[code]...
The text box itself is at least twice the width of the sentences, but they aren't using the full width.
I'm trying to create a dynamic news section that works off of a XML file and I'm running into some problems. Here's the code I'm using right now
Code:
//load XML
xmlContent = new XML();[code]....
It seems to duplicate the movies correctly, but it won't load the XML into the corresponding text boxes I've created. I've included a link to the source files as well if anyone has a minute to take a look.http:[url]....getting the date from the attributes of the news item I'd like it to go in the "date_txt" box within the news module clip.
I am using the file reference tutorial to upload an image to the serverobviously it works great. but I want to make each file upload unique, so if I upload mypicture.jpg to the server, I want to change the name of the file to mypicture1039094.jpg (or something that is unique).part 2:I want to also capture that new random file (mypicture1039094.jpg) in a text field so I can send it to a php script.

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 have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.
[Code]....
I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
I am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.
View 7 RepliesI 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.

I have two frames in my Flash piece. On one frame I have a combobox called source_id, and on the other frame I also have a combobox called source_id. Now I know I could rename these but I want to keep them the same for various reasons.
View 1 RepliesThere are three buttons on the stage. The second button opens a dropdown menu and pushes the third button. I solved this by changing the _y position but it's crude! Then, when you press button#3 or button#1, the dropdown menu goes up and all the buttons realign to their initial positions. Here's the script for button#1 and button#3 (activeZone is a hidden Movie Clip that triggers the animation):

Right, so I've got this engine down:[URL]..EDIT: Arrow keys to move, a to jump.It seems fine at first, but as you can see, if you jump with a platform overhead, you get stuck in that platform - that happens because the registartion point of the mc (the '+') is at the feet of the character. It needs to be this way so that it registers on the ground.

I'm sure it's been posted about a million times before but I've been trying vars searches and seem to always be coming up with answers to do with the exact opposite of what I'm trying to achieve! I'm creating a flash Movie that is 800 x 600 pixels in size and I'd like to fix that size so that it will always be 800 x 600 regardless of the screen resolution of the computer running it. At the moment it seems to scale by default and is winding up looking ugly on other people's computers.

i was in the very initial stage of my code but now i have completed my file and need some help fixing a bug in the file.The basic idea is to arrange the cards in order user seem fit but the problem i am facing is that when i swap cards on mousemove a particular card doesn't have its properties updated it shows xpos ypos and its col and row id as undefined until i click on it and then only the card takes its properties I know i am not setting something properly some where but am kind of totally clueless about it.I am attaching the fla and xml here . the xml is only for the increasing or decreasing the length of the columns and rows.
View 1 RepliesEversince I've worked with AS3, Flash always seems to have some odd way in rendering pixel-precise vectors. For instance, Friday I tried to draw a roundRect with a line around it. However, when zoomed at 100% it looks crappy and not how it's meant to look:So, when zoomed in in Photoshop you'll see more clearly that it's off:But whenever I zoom in with Flash itself, it looks OK:The quality is set to High, so that can't be it. Is there any flag in AS3 to make Flash render vectors more accurate?
View 1 RepliesI have two requirements for a flex charting component:
1) The grid lines should always remain fixed to a scaling I define using an array of data. Something like a graph paper sheet.
2) Plot multiple line series data over this grid.
How does one get complete control over the background grid lines? I have tried a combination of annotation elements and setting the linechart background elements. If I get the grid right, I can't plot over it (Probably due to the scale). how would one go about designing a graphpaper like interface for linecharts in flex/actionscript?
I am trying to start making an admin client side application to monitor our service, including its properties that simply cannot be done through Administration Console, like blocking IP addresses of offending users.My problem is that even before I start using the Administration API (on which I will comment further down), I tried to f.e. inspect theshared objects and streams of the application through the Admin. Console, but I get a popup "Failed to make debug connection, please check that the application is in debug mode." Configuration files are unaltered from install, which means xPendingDebugConnections is set to 50, AllowDebugDefault is set to false, BUT in the serve side main.asc file I have "application.allowDebug = true;"Also, on a related note.
I can see that the Administration API lists the API itself, but there is vague to no mention at all where to connect first? I recall spotting somewhere suffixing the RTMP URL with something like "_fcs_debug" or something, but you can see how this frustrates me - I really don't like to google stuff that is supposed to be in the documentation The application instance usually accepts connections from regular non-admin clients, with proper parameters, which are irrelevant for admins unless these are users too (double membership, you can say)
