ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Site With Content Manager (CMS)
Dec 9, 2004
I need to make a site 100% in flash but this site has to be update by the client.So my is how to add more pages to the site with a content manager?I read the forums and i understand how to dynamic create more menus without any problem with a CMS using xml, i also know how update a specific part of the site. i mean i can create dynamic text fields and update them with no problem also using xml. Well i can update fields that allready exists on the flahs it self. but in case that my client decide to add a new menu.. it has to redirect to a specific frame where the content of that specific theme is but if it don't exist.
I am want to update content in Flash site using WordPress CMS, or make Flash template (theme) for WordPress. I know some sites that are using WP cms for updating content. For example: [URL]
I am new to flash and just learned some action Script 3 with some events.I have to build site with dynamic menus and then contents for each page using xml.Is there any example on web to show how I can build the site.
I m planing to create a full flash site. But in stead of jus an URL that lead the user to index.html, I wish to allow the URL to direct the user to goto specific page. It is sumthing like [URL]. note the URL, it passes parameter to the flash movie without reloading the swf. Any Idea how to create that?
What are the best practices for providing dynamic content within a flash site? I am trying to get my head around the idea and I am not sure how to think about this. Are there sites that use a graphic frontend for updating flash content? If so, what is the common way of doing this? XML? PHP+XML+SQL? etc. I am relatively new to all of this but I have been messing with Flash and XML. I can update stuff on my site by just modifying the XML but I want to go a step further now and create a frontend on the web where people could do this.
Is it possible to make text content for a site in Flash be changed/updated by someone without having to take the route of Flash? Like I have a text file in notepad, or Word and the text will automatically appear in the swf file?
am not much a coder but am learning i just wana know how i can center my flash site/content/background on browser resize
i found a tutorials about that exactly the only problem was am using AS2 and the tutorials is for damn AS3 so please if you know one for AS2 then direct me or if you got som code u wana share dont hesitate 2 post it 4 me
I have a full flash site which uses swfobject to embed it 100% height and width. I'm using swffit to force a browser scroll bar for pages with a large amount of content. This is all fine and works perfectly. I also have the content in HTML format, as alternative content and this also works apart from in order to get the flash swfobject to work I need to add the overflow = hidden in the CSS, like:
Does anyone know how to resize all content on the site scales relative to the browser size of the viewer. Whether it is on a Netbook or a 30 inch screen all contents to fit on? I'm not talking about the basic center resize of stage.with and stage.heigh.
Basically I'm loading a content.swf in a main.swf and from the Main.swf, I want to be able to apply the resize all content method.
I am creating a web site that will use XML to load content - a sort of video gallery.I plan to make scrolling movie clip for navigation containing instances of the single clip - "movie", which contains thumbnail, title and link, and I plan to use duplicateMovieClip to create as many MCs in navigation as needed.
But I have the following problem:I made a single MC - "movie" that takes the title, description and link from XML.I take the lenght of the XML nodes and duplicate the movie clip through the following code, where the variable j is the required number of MCs:
dist = 100; //distance of the new MC _global.k = 0; for (i=0; i<=j-1; i++) {
[code]....
Every of the movies get the same value of the k.Is there a way to pass the exact value to each of the MCs?
Ive been looking into whether or not, it is possible to load the entirety of site content dynamically from a text file. I know, how to specifically choose and reference from one txt file to a dynamic text block. But, is there a way to have one huge file? That is to say, can I target certain things within a txt file?
On my Flash site, I'm trying to make my my navagation bar run on a independent timeline from the rest of the content on my site. I built my navagation bar in a movie clip, because they use independent timelines. However I can't seem to figgure out how to make the buttons in the movie clip effect the timeline of the main file. Is there something I'm missing? Or am I just going about this the wrong way?
Im running a flash website, Im getting around 15,000 visits per day, and I have allocated 4 areas of the site for advertisements. I want to have 2 types of advertisements: pay per click, and pay per impression/view.Ofcourse there are many php ad managers out there, but how can I display the ads inside of flash? I don't mind if I manage the whole thing in a php page, but at the end, I want the advertisements to be displayed within flash, and ofcourse have all necessary changes made when a user clicks on an Ad (pay per click), or when the Ad is displayed (pay per impression).
I use google analytics to track viewed content on my site using tags like this... Code: getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/MAIN/WORK/SEARCH-ENTER.html');"); Im wondering how i can however track search queries using a similar method. Conceptually, im looking for a way to do this
I am developing a a game in Flash using the PureMVC framework. From time to time I need to show dialog pop-up window to get a user response back (e.g. "Cancel", "OK" and other kinds of asynchronous user feedback) while "locking" the background for interactivity.
I need some management for my pop-ups: all pop-up notifications should be stacked up, so that if two (or more) pop-up messages are initiated at the same time I show them one by one.
What's the best practice here? Should I employ a proxy to manage my pop-ups (sounds unreasonable). How do I get feedback back from my dialog? using notifications?
I want to develop an AIR application that will let users of my website download multiple files in a single process. My database stores details of all the files uploaded by a user so I want them to be able to simply choose a location on local disk then download all files they have uploaded to this location.
Are there any good tutorials or source code examples for a simple yet effective AIR download manager developed using Flash CS4. I have come across a Flex based tutorial, so how would I go about using this to develop it in Flash?
Is it possible to edit the .mxp-files that you install with the extension manager? The extension I have in mind is an API with some functions that need to be tweaked.

I've had a problem which has been persisting for a long time now - Flash won't save any cookies to my computer. Originally I thought that it was my security settings, and indeed when I went to the global settings manager I clicked the "unlimited" option for data saves and allowed this for all sites. But when I reloaded the page the changes hadn't been saved. No matter how many times I clicked on the options to allow cookies and give unlimited data storage, whenever I came back the settings had reverted to default, as I had found them originally.
And when I went to C:/Documents and Settings/[user name]/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player#SharedObjects/ I found that there were no folders there, for none of the sites that I had visited.
This problem persists on IE, Firefox and Google Chrome. I've shut off all adblockers, all firewalls, all anti-virus software, uninstalled and re-installed Flash twice and still nothing. I'm at my wits end. I'm running Windows on a PC.
i want to know whether its possible to change the local settings manager of flash programatically?. Earlier when the global settings manager was there i changed the settings by directly editing the .sol file? Will the same work now?
I'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?
The simple code I have so far:
stop(); var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);
I double-clicked on a bitmap-item in the library and instead of opening the properties-windows where you can change compression, import and so on, the focus changed to a random explorer window and flash got "locked". Flash probably thought that it actually opened a new sub-window and waited for it being closed, but there was no such window! Seems like the open-procedure failed and the next window to focus on was just an explorer window. Closing this one didn't get the focus back to flash. What a luck, I could still save the file using ctrl-s but couldn't get back to the application. So I had to kill Flash with the task-manager.
i have made a site in flash. stage size 955x600 i have exported it as fullscreen with no scale. the problem is that if i browse the site with a resolution of 800x600 (760x420 if i'm not wrong), the browser dont' add scrolls and its impossible to see the complete site. How can i fix this without resizing the site. i want the users to see with the proportions that i have now.. ijust want a scroll on the browser.
I was wondering if its still necessary to build a html site aswell as a Flash Site? Or is there a definitive and failsafe way to incorporate html into my flash site? SEO is a very important factor for me. I read this article: url...by Geoff Sterns in 2006, resulting in the following[code]
I have a Flash Web site for a small literary journal and am trying to switch over to my hosting service's mailing list manager for sending out newsletters. I see the HTML code for setting this up (available from my host), but do not know how to get it to work in my Flash site. (I did not build the site and know very little about Flash...I'm learning as I go in order to do updates.) It looks like the site currenly links to a PHP file to allow for sign ups to our newsletter. Can anyone tell me h how to get the HTML code to work on my site?
A client of mine has had 2 sites (both Flash sites) attacked over the last 12 months, so he's been asking: should he go for a static HTML site or stick with a Flash site? Is there ways to make a Flash site more secure?
[URL] Above is a link to view the project I'm working on. Once the site loads if you go to the "Contact Us" page the content doesn't load correctly. I'm using an extrnal .xml and .css files for the content. I'm also embedding the fonts dynamicly. If I test the file locally on my computer is works fine the image loads as it's supposed to and content looks correct. However when I post the files to the server (which work exactly the same way) I get the white box when you can see from the link above. I'm at a complete loss as to how to to fix this.
I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.
how it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.
I'm loading one SWF into another but the internal one is coming over the main content and that can't happen.here is the part of my code where the external content is being loaded anyone hason what I can do to fix this? here is my code:
Code: var loadAnimBox:Loader = new Loader(); var vid_mc:MovieClip;
