This site is so comlex:[URL].. would anyone direct me on how to begin to create something like this. I may have to do it for work. I know it involves xml, a database, and some advanced scripting, but I would like to have evry section in seperate clusters.
View 2 RepliesI bought a flash site template that loads xml driven swfs inside the main swf as different menu items are clicked. The modules that come with the template work fine, but I don't know how to add a third party xml driven swf, so that it shows up properly. While the third party swf works fine as a standalone, the embedded version loads just an empty movie.

View 1 RepliesI'm about to start work on my first app which will be an internal release to gather customer information at a trade show.I'm hopefully looking into using air for ios or maybe one of the various html/js frameworks to develop this app as an alternative to learning C.ideally I would do it with some server based php > sql to store and share gathered information between a fleet of iPads, unfortunately due to the population of this trade show there will be no guarantee that i can maintain a wireless connection so need to prepare for these apps all being local access only.in which case, how would you recommend going about the saving/reading of the stored data, and also how to sync it up with a sql server and then back to the iPads each night.
View 1 RepliesI have been using AS3 for approximately 1 year now, and although I havent really done any major projects with it, I am fairly confident using it. However, There is 1 part that I am very curious about. At the moment, I am using the design section of flash cs5 to create my assets. I am trying to make database driven applications, and the problem I have run into with using the design section is that you must manually program each symbol.
For example, If I wanted to make a dropdown menu, and a php file was passing the variables such as "amountOfSections = 5", Then 5 sections would be displayed. This is fine to do using alpha to control what is visible etc, but if there where 5000 dropdown menu items, I would have to physically place 5000 dropdown items onto the stage. I know that it is possible to use as3 to create objects AS THEY ARE NEEDED, but I have no idea how to do it.

View 4 RepliesI need to create a login page in my flash site that relates to information input to a mysql database. after the submit their information we want to send them a link to a differnt flash page with a login screen they will use their first name and a password (already in our database) to gain access to this "new" page. on that page there will be a welcome message that says "Welcome, User First Name" so I guess i have two questions
1: how do i set up a login page?
2: how do i pull that login info to a welcome page?
I have a client that is wanting me to create a flash website in which they can add products pages (product info, images, etc.) themselves after the website is completed. I will setup up the first few products then they will do the rest. Would I wanted to go with dynamic text and empty movie clips loading the images? If so how could I have this create a duplicate page that refers to the new text and image?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to delve into the world of Flash/XML and the horrible mess they make together for me
This is my XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0 envoding="IS0-8859-1"?>
<events>
<event>
[Code]...
I've added a dynamic text field on the stage with the same name as the elements. Then, I want to be able to call several instances of it...i.e. add another <events> code block and have that come up underneath the existing info. I've search high and low to try to do this myself and I've failed miserably.
I've been having problems modifying this code in order to make it show 5 different world clocks. Right now, the simpleClock code shows just one simple clock. making it show 5 clocks next to one another and each clock having the time of a specific city in the world.I know that I only need to change the hours for each clock based on the time in that city but I also need to have the clock change color to represent the time of day. This is the codes for the AnalogClockFace and SimpleClock.

View 1 RepliesFor the past two months I have been developing a new kind of Flash chat that allows you to fly around in a 2D virtual room with an animated graphical avatar. You can also upload your own picture for an avatar. The special thing about this chat is that it works with MySQL and PHP, so no fancy servers are needed. It can easily be customized in terms of design. Switch out the background image and the avatar icons and you have a completely new chat room. Flash AS3 Avatar Chat v0.94 BETA.

View 1 RepliesI am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish. The only rotators I can seem to find have external XML/image files, etc. All I want to do is create simple SWF's that I can use to display rotating images preferably is a smooth and stylish manner. Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?
View 1 RepliesI'm being asked if some resources I created can be made accessible. Currently each resource is the exact same launch.swf, but each is pulling from a different xml file. I'm so proud of myself! But now it looks like you can't dynamically generate accessilbe resources. I'm being asked for the alt.text equivalent of various text boxes, while the actual content of each box depends on multiple factors.
View 1 RepliesIm currently working on a system whereby a user can fill in text fileds within a PDF form, submit the data as XML and this is picked up by the Actionscript in a .SWF file thus allowing end user customisation without the need to edit the actual Flash files.I have all this working fine so far however im stuck at a particular part.I want to have radio buttons (or something similar) on each page of the PDF where the user can select if the page has to be output in the .SWF file or not. Ive tried creating the actionscript part for this however im completely lost. The XML from the PDF i can manage no probs but the actionscript part is stumping me.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create something like attached picture. I want a start. how i can do it in flash AS3.0
View 3 RepliesI've been hunting for tutorials on XML driven AS3 menus. I've found some really cool stuff, but nothing that does what I want, and most don't really explain the "hows' involved in getting the XML into the flash. I want to dynamically load menu buttons based upon an xml document in horizontal fashion with sub menus that load 10px down and to the right of the main menu button. With each item in the sub menu filing to the right. I'd also like to have that light up bar track the main buttons so that as the mouse moves over the bar slides to it.
Here's the code for the bar:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
button_mc.buttonMode = true;
button2_mc.buttonMode = true;
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent):void {
new Tween(bar_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,bar_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,1,true);
}
Most of the XML driven code I have found obviously doesn't have a static instance name and use addChild()
I am trying to create something like attached picture.i also want it to xml driven pies so my data will be in the xml file. I want a start.
View 4 RepliesI want to create a Flex 3 application running in Adobe Air that accesses an SQLite database and I need to keep this database in sync with an SQL server 2005 database running a website.Is this something that Flex supports or is it going to be a custom script? Also, has anybody done anything like this?
Edit: The synchronisation can be done on a daily basis rather than real time. The data will be read only from a front end perspective with a CMS to do updates on the website.
What I need to know is if Flash can control objects outside of the computer itself. Example would be if you had a light hooked up or something like that, could you use ActionScript code to illuminate said light when a button is pressed. Somehow control the output of power to a source outside the PC when Flash is told to do so.
