Is it possible for flash to somehow detect your geographic location? Perhaps with the use of IP addresses or something? If anyone has any example code, I would love to see it!

View 0 RepliesI have been charged with creating a rotating billboard for our new company website and I am in the conceptual phase of design.Everyone in the office likes the functionality of the National Geographic home billboard... with its automatic rotating images, pause functionality, and content launching frames.So far I have correctly mirrored the functionality of the National Geographic billboard by physically embedding images into a flash movie and creating mouse click events for buttons and the images themselves.
Design Question:Can Flash emulate the National Geographic presentation? Their images are called upon request, rather than being embedded into a large single movie file like mine. This would allow a non programmer to design a new image billboard and update the website remotely...

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a menu to implement in the form of a coverflow. I have one accessible but flipping through the covers requires that I click covers, or use the scroll bar.
I am looking for one that will move left and right without requiring clicking. Dragging is probably acceptable. I have been sifting through the google search results, but it seems most coverflows are modeled the same. It doesn't need to be free, but if I could customize it via XML that'd be great.

I am trying to find the best way to improve the user experience when interacting with a context menu in a Flex application. I already know that the context menu in Flex is quite limited in terms of how it is constructed and what it can show.
What I was hoping to do was to implement something similar to what Microsoft Word does in 2010 or later, where when right clicking a little floating palette is displayed above the common popup menu. I was hoping that there was a way to 1) listen for an event that is triggered when a context menu is displayed, and 2) determine the location of the context menu so that I could display a floating palette above the context menu as in Word. So far, I have not found out how to accomplish either of these things.
I suspect that there might be some focus and stage management issues with this approach generally, but I was hoping to at least get to the point where those issues were discovered.
I've a flash AS3 based application that provides option to play/pause/record FLV files from flash media server. These files are only audio files. Now, I want to add a new functionality of inserting audio at a specific location.Like if the already recorded file is of five minutes duration, and I want to record 1 minute audio after third minute, the end result should be a six minute file with the new audio added from 3rd to 4th minute.
View 1 RepliesI have a .net client app that needs to play some content (images, movies, swf files etc) on the client machine. What it does is download the content from a server to the HDD in a folder, and play it. BUT: the SWF file has a need to read RSS from the web, and what i need is the folder where the app content is kept to be added in Trusted Locations (what you regulary do when right click .swf file, go to Global Settings > Advanced tab, and Trusted locations.. button, and specify a folder.
Now, i have searched the web, and there is a place where this is saved: :Documents and Settings\Application DataMacromediaFlash Playermacromedia.comsupportflashplayersyssettings.sol, however, i don't know if this is changeable from another app : eg. when my .net app is installed or started, that it adds the folder to trusted locations, so that the SWF would be able to play RSS from web.
How do I go about loading a movie from another location within a flash document?
