ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling A Blog Into Flash Through An XML Sheet?
Jun 15, 2008
I am pulling a blog into flash through an XML sheet. I have a clip in the library that gets attached per blog entry. The issue I am having right now is not all the posts are the same length so I am trying to adjust the clips background to the height of the post text box, but they are all reading as the same height so they aren't properly adjusting. I even have the text boxes set to autoSize = true;
Here is my code..the resizeBlog function is where I am trying to resize it and then I want to adjust its y property accordingly.

I would like to know how much it would cost to create sheet input in flash like in this site [URL]..what knowledge do I need to have, to create it on my own.
I haven't worked with flash yet, that's bad, but language itself is not problem for me. The methods I need to know is the problem for this. My goal is so that user can input notes with his keyboard, and after he presses button in page, I get inputed string as letters, not as notes.

I am developing a small application, where the user can change the color of a box from a radio button(a-red or b-green). as soon as he changes the color, the respective color value(0xFF0000 or 0x5CBC32) should be updated in an xml sheet which is kept in a server.
i would prefer asp because the xml file will be placed in a windows server.
xml sheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<colors>
<boxes>
<box1>"here only i want to udpate the color value chosen by the user"</box1>
</boxes>
</colors>

I've maintained a blog on my site, and it's a real pain to post in it because everytime I do it, I get TXT files from people using PCs (I use macs), and when I copy and paste that text into flash, it adds double the lines they used. So I have to edit them to take out all the extra spaces.
If that wasn't bad enough, The titles and content use different fonts and different sizes, so they're two different static textfields. And to set each posting apart from the other, I added a line between them. But for it to look good, this has to be in the exact middle between the end of one post, and the next post's title. But since each post has a different size, it's also a pain to measure that distance everytime I add a post. So I was thinking, one way for me to solve all this is to make a movieclip which does all the calculations by itself, and draws text from an external textfile. Maybe using HTML text I can have two different fonts and sizes in one textfield, instead of two?
Anyway, what I want is to just get the new post from people, paste the new text inside the TXT file, overwrite the one on the server with it and voil, that way I don't even have to open flash when adding new posts.
Anyone have a good way to do this? And then, for extra coolness, maybe if I get this working, I could make a page where the posters could log in and post...this page would save the post to the txt and that would make posting a lot easier because then they don't need me to post!

I remember doing some work where I put a dynamically changing PHP page into flash, I'm curious can the same be done by cutting out the PHP programming? I'm new to AS3 so I'm not sure what the protocol is now.Previously the hierarchy looked something like this.1. Input done on upload.php2. upload.php pass information through a handler.php3. handler.php outputs data.xml4. site.swf imports and uses information from data.xml to display blog

I need to have an existing blog that can be viewed from within a Flash web page. The idea is to access and read a blog without leaving the Flash site. I have seen a widget on Flash Den that does this but only works in AS 3.0 The Flash site that needs the blog was done in AS 2.0. I would think this could be done in AS 2.0

Is this as simple as using an XML image gallery's setup? The thing is, for a school project we can do whatever we want, but there has to be a blog. Since we want to make our site in Flash, I had this thought to use XML so my other team members (who have no clue on how to work with flash) could just as easily update the XML file and we have our "blog". Now the way I had this in mind (but I'm not that experienced with XML) is I have a movieClip container which would be added at every new XML line. Within this movieClip there would be a textField to fill with our babbling and a sprite/movieClip which will hold an image. That's about it.

I want to create something similar to "Karrine Cast" on http://www.karrine.com/home/ - something where I can record myself on web cam every week and then upload it and display it in flash. Without having to open up flash and render it into FLV, then import it, do coding etc change my move etc. Something simple, quick and easy to be able to display videos. Is there a tutorial or some sort of premade code that would allow me to do this?

I'm looking to build a Flash site and would like to have a page for a blog so as to upload information, videos and maybe user comments (undecided of yet).
How would I go about this? Should it be done in Flash or would it be better to embed HTML into the Flash?

Right off the bat, I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I appologize if this has been covered. So here we go: I'm looking to build a clean, little blog aggregator (Multiple sources: LiveJournal, BlogSpot, etc.) built into a Flash file. The best example of what I'm looking to build would be Michael's Mini-Reader. Thing is, I haven't the slightest of how to aggregate RSS/XML feeds into a Flash file. So any [detailed] suggestions? AS is where I tend to faulter in my projects; better at the artistic end,

I installed Adobe Flash CS5.5 a couple of days back...Trying to learn a few basic tricks such as motion tween (messed up things with the bone tool though)..Well the problem is, a friend of mine made a 3D drawing in Solid Works(a modelling software). It is a sort of box, now he wants me to make a flash animation for the box which starts from a sheet of paper and folds into a box and then the camera zooms out.
Now i have no idea how to do that..jpg file can be made and imported to flash...but as it will be an imported file how can it be manipulated to achieve the final task....taking screen shots of the box at various stages of solid works can be done and then played all together in flash baut it would be very tiresome and time consuming...
I dont want anyone to make it for me just guide me what tools and tutorials to look at.

I'm working on an entirely flash-based site for a client who has already been using Blogspot for his News/Homepage updates. He wants to continue updating through Blogspot, but wants the blog to automatically fill in the text box on the flash site Homepage. I'm not sure if this is possible, or how I would go about doing it.
Here is the blogspot page: [URL]

I'm trying to set up a flash based blog that can be updated with php and mysql and will handle text, images and video. I understand the basics of setting it up using php to generate xml files for flash to read, but the one problem I am having is figuring out how to load videos into flash. The goal is to be able to load as many videos as needed in their own players, so it wouldn't be like a playlist of videos but rather like how on a regular blog you would post youtube videos in their own unique players.
So far all of the things I have found have been related to loading videos in a sort of media player with playlists but yet to find a good solution for this. Is there a relatively simple way to use actionscript 2 to load a flv?

I would like to make a site that is easy to update video and text. Is there a way to insert a blog into a fully flash site? I don't know if there is a blog that's made in flash or something like that. I'd like the video and text to be easier to update than xml. HTML blogs are really convenient, but I'd like some flash to make it more dynamic and more of a full website, than just a blog.

I create a video in Flash using import->video. I select my .flv file and a skin.The .flv is on my hard drive. The component parameters reflects this location.I want to upload the video to my web server to display on my MovableType blog.
If I change the properties in Flash to reflect the server location Flash says "could not upload video." So I kept the component property to reflect the location on my C drive.I import that Flash media into dreamweaver to get the HTML code for my site.It works fine when I preview in Dreamweaver.I thought I could then change the code to reflect the new location of the file.I have done this using an online embedding program, but then I have no skin or ability for user to control playback.So I can get the video to the web with an online embedder,but the code generated by Dreamweaver does not work. The frame for the video appears, but there is no content.

I using the news ticker example to create a flash sig for my blog of highlighted posts. The question is there anyway of creating an automatic xml updater? So that all I would have to do is place some sort of "highlighter" tag in a post, then the xml file would be updated, thus a new link appear in the news ticker? I guess if I some how had rss for a tag, that then the xml was read into the flash file.
