I'm working on a flash site which has some xml texts and images. The texts and images can be dynamically updated via a CMS. It works fine on my MAC but it seems not showing up on a few others.The as2 code to read xml in Flash is as follow:
function loadXMLData_about(loaded)
{
if (loaded)
[code].....
We have created an application where some Chinese texts need to be displayed. The text filelds have been created dynamically and Chinese Texts are retreived from an XML. [ The file has been created with AS 2.0 ]We have experienced - that
1. [Version CS5- Platform Windows 7]When setting the TextField.embedFonts property to TRUE, even when we create a new font in the library and provide an identifier to be exported, the fonts do not appear. But, interestingly setting embedFonts property to FALSE shows those Chinese characters.
2.[Version CS5- Platform Windows XP, SP 3 ]The Chinese characters does not show up at all, and unknown characters are shown.
I purchased a template from template monster that has a Flash Intro. It has a header with a previous and next button and three photos.When the site loads up the first photo drops into place and text flies out from the sides of the photo then when you hit the next button the next photo drops in with its text and so on.I was able to change the photos and text and all works fine. What I want is for the banner to automatically rotate these three images and texts every 4 seconds or when someone hits those next or previous buttons.
Right now the images/text only move if you hit the next or previous buttons. In dreamweaver I set the Flash to autoplay and loop but that did nothting.
saw various tutorials where dynamic fields had a motion teen effect. However If I tryto do the same, once I apply the motion tween the dynamic text becomes Graphic. How can I avoid this?
View 6 RepliesI have a flash that reads all it's content from an XML file, alot of dynamic texts, it's in AS2 and it uses Dynamic text variables to assign the text from XML to the dynamic text.
Now I'm migrating it to AS3, I can't use Dynamic text variables any more, I know I can assign it manually one by one, but I have more than 200 movies to migrate, and it would take a lot of time to do it.I thought of one solution: If I can read all the dynamic texts in the whole movie at once, I can build a nice loop to read them one by one and assign the text from XML to it's respective texts.
How would I use ASFunction with dynamic texts? Can someone gimme a example (code not .fla)...How would I display the IP address of a person with flash?Complicated: A person views my signature. It shows the IP Address of a person along with a input box for their name. They type in their name. How would I make it so that, after a name is typed in and a button is pressed, both the name and the IP address are sent to a file? Only I can view the file. Well, the file could be called list.php or list.txt...and then I can CHMOD it so others can't view it...

View 3 RepliesUpdated question: Is there a way to sort dynamic texts based on the variable (or simple value) they represent? Old dribble: I'm looking for some pointers for a problem with making a table. It may be that I have started off in the wrong direction - anyways, I'm stuck now. The .png displays my objects, and how they are connected/grouped. The highlighted (red) shows the variable containing the points.
The pink with the most points should be displayed higher than the rest, and 2nd most points should ofc be 2nd highest. I have tried taking the red variable out of the pink, but I could not think of a way of moving the red variable based on its own value. I'm going to edit the red variables (as the world cup goes on), and there is no need for cookies and such. And if there is a simpler way of doing the setup, let me know. I'm using SwishMax3 (SM2 up till a few days ago, so I'm more used to as2..)
this may be a basic thing, but i couldn't find an answer by serching internet. I have created a simple button - Istance name = "btnsample"and there are two layers layer 0- button design with rollovers - layer 1- dynamic text field - instance name = "txtbtnlabel"btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "new button label;but it's giving followin error :-119:Access of possible undefined propety txtbtnlabel through a reference with static type flash.display:simpleButton.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to have a hand cursor over a movie clip that contains dynamic texts. I tried:
[Code]...
The problem is that this movie clip has a roll_over on the children, so when I put the second line of code my roll_over doesn't work anymore.
first I had:
maskedImg = getChildByName("current") as MovieClip;
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and everything worked properly. Then I removed the movieclip from the scene, exported it to Actionscript, and changed the code to
maskedImg = new mymovieclip();
addChild(maskedImg);
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and now I don't see anything on the scene. If I comment out the line assigning the mask I can see the movieclip although. The mask is created dynamically in both cases.
I did this on my flash pageFor some reason of HTML view I can't see the scroll bars but under flash preview I can.

I am trying to load images externally but I don't think I am using the right code. I am using the following in flash and it works fine, but when I bring it into dreamweaver it stops working. Any thoughts?[code]My thoughts are that it can't find the files when it goes live. How can I change the code above so that it reads the files once uploaded to a server?

View 2 RepliesI have created a simple site in Dreamweaver, I have uploaded the site to a remote server and everything is great but for one thing. I have inserted a Flash image viewer that should show a selection of images, it works fine when launched from Dreamweaver into a browser window such as Firefox. However if I access the site using its domain name and recieving from the remote server no images/slides play.
I have done several things to try and rectify this. Made sure the images are in the root folder. entered 'base' and '.' in the parameters and made sure all image names start with a lower case (linux) and it still doesnt work.
I import Jpeg or any other images into flash , and I can click on it in the library and see the image, but when I bring it onto the movie scene, I just see the squares and the image is faded, it seems like it has brought the opacity of the image all the way down to zero , no matter what image type I save I get the same result, PNG, BitMap, GIF , is there anything I gotta do in preferences ?

I have a Flash carousel on my website, and I wanted to change one of the images, and delete another icon altogether. I have uploaded the revised XML file, published the new .swf (just in case), and uploaded to my Joomla site.For some strange reason, its still showing the old icons in Firefox (even though I've deleted these images from the referenced folder), and its showing the new icons in IE, only without the one image I added. Very strange.I've refreshed, created a new .swf, made sure I've saved the XML file etc but no changeThis is probably one of those amateur mistakes I think, I've thought of everything but drawing a blank at the moment.Oh i should probably mentioned that the revised carousel has 4 icons, and the old one has 5. The new image I put in has an icon of a jigsaw.XML File is as follows
<icons>
<icon image="icon3.jpg" tooltip="Ramis Software" link="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=67"/>

Im trying to load an external swf(a gallery of images) and I want the images to show up on the website as they load so for example if the swf is 10% loaded, it should have loaded a few images but they dont show up unitl the external swf is 100% loaded
So instead of the viewer having to wait until the external swf is 100% loaded, I want the viewer to be able to see the images of the external swf as they load.
My external swf has images on frames 1 15 or so..
I'm running into a very strange issue when testing an application I'm building online: loaded images aren't showing.When testing locally everything works fine.I'm retrieving the images from an Adobe Scene7 server, and there's a crossdomain.xml in place there with the correct entries. I'm getting the right bytesLoaded and bytesTotal. I'm not getting an IOError Event.What could be wrong?
Here's a piece of the offending code: (I replaced Event.COMPLETE with Event.INIT, hoping it might make a difference, but it doesn't)
[AS]loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.IN IT, onImageComplete);

Is this even possible or I should rather use Flash?
I did a tutorial with macromedia flash professional 8 and all works but the images. On my computer it only shows one image but on my website it doesn't even show one image. There should be four.
