ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Php And Mysql To Add Content To The Portfolio Without Modifying The Flash Itself?
Jun 3, 2004
i want to make a new portfolio site in flash. i was thinking on using as much server - side scripting as possible, to make in easier to update and add some features like flash guestbook/mail form and some other stuff. I was wondering. is it possible using php and mysql to add content to the portfolio without modifying the flash itself? Is there a tutorial regarding this? WHat i want, exactly is to be able to add photos, sites, prints and other stuff to my portfolio like i would add a post to this forum. the title being the title, the message being the description of the project and the pic i can attach being the photo itself.

I am having a strange problem with frame labels.I am using external swf. files to load content for my portfolio.The Work section contains thumbnails and once you click them they fade in at a larger size using Frame labels with AS2.[code]If you open URL... and click the thumbnails you can see it works perfectly fine. However if you go to the work section from the index URL... it no longer works. I have been trying at this all day but it does not seem to work once i upload to server :/all files (FLA , SWF, HTML )

I have custom components which must adjust their text content based on space constraints. For example a component adds labels until there is no space, and then the content of the last label becomes "(x more)"
I do not have access to size of child controls before adding them. When in updateDisplayList, I make changes to the layout of the component, but for labels, lblInstance.text property fires events, which lead to updateDisplayList being called again. I know that updateDisplayList may be called more than once, but if there is a way to modify text without triggering events, that'd be really useful. For example, setActualSize method in UIComponent allows this kind of modification. Anything similar for text controls? Or do you have best practices for laying out and managing text content, in the context of custom Flex components?

I am a novice Flash user as I have built one "members section" website using Flash CS4 (but used Actionscript 2).I am now in the process of learning ActionScript 3 and am working towards building a v2.0 of my original website. The original website uses a PHP authentication system, where a user logs in through a regular HTML page. Once authenticated, they are given the option to access the members section.I wish to eliminate the need to have our users log in through this HTML page as I wish this to be built directly into Members Section 2.0 however I haven't got slightest clue how to construct a users "login" function.
have users login (authenticate themselves) through the main page of this Flash project by the flash project referencing the MYSQL user names and password database. Additionally, there are three types of users that will be logging into this site (Status A users, Status B users and Status C users).
We need to protect various downloadable documents (Word files and PDF's) to ensure only those with the correct authentication are granted access to particular files. I.E. Status "A" users get access to everything, Status B users get access to almost everything and Status C users get access to very few files.
I assume the best method for this, is to store the files in three folders, once for each Status Class therefore Status A users will access files from the Status A folder, Status B users will only be able to access files from the "B" folder and so on. best method to protect these files from unauthorized access I.E. "C" users attempting to download a document that is only intended for "A" users?

I have a typical Flex-based application that was written to use a Java/Hibernate/MySQL backend. The client changed the requirements - now they want to distribute it on a CD where the user can just run the app without any installation or a network connection.
To do this, I certainly need to eliminate the web server and the database server and adapt my application (with as few changes as possible, of course) to a stand-alone application that will fit on a CD/DVD. I've managed to export the data to XML and read it into Flex, but I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate the Hibernate data structures in Flex so I could change as little code as possible. Failing that, is there any way to keep the existing Java/Hibernate external to the Flex code but retrievable without installing Apache Tomcat or MySQL?

modify an existing flash shopping cart I purchased from Flashden.net (link). The cart uses two XML files to pull in data and to configure most of the data settings. I need help with one thing: I'm using this cart on a sunglasses shopping site and I need to configure the optional sunglasses to be clickable so they can be added to the cart. I know I need to modify both the flash .fla and the xml file so I've included the code for both below. Here's a link to the website I'm trying to re-configure. The section I need to edit has the optional sunglasses on the right-hand side of the main photo.Here's the first xml file that does some of the basic settings. This file is called settings.xml.[code]I made an attachment for the actionscript code called actionscript.txt that needs to be modified. All I need to do is figure out a way to make the optional images clickable so they can be added to the main cart. We can also just create a button that says add to cart next to each sunglass option. Either way works for me. I'm even willing to compensate the person who can help me come up with a workable solution.

I'm trying to build a schedule with Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0 for an Internet radio station. I'd like to have a .swf that I can open, drag and drop a text symbol from the Library (ideally, for design reasons), and then change the color of the text with Actionscript when the user presses a button.
I can change the color of text if I create it with Actionscript, of course, but I'm not sure how to use Actionscript to change the color of text I've created in the Flash GUI. I can't pass a TextField to a symbol and expect Flash to know what to do with it, can I?

i need to change the animated logo's color in the left from green to blue.I have never done anything in flash before, this is the first time i've used the program, but so far i was able to figure out how to change the navigation and bar color and the text. but i can't seem to see where the color of this logo is coming from....
In screentshot 1 you can see that the Logo_Anim is made up of the Logo_1 - Logo_5 movie clips.Each of the logo_# clips is a piece of the logo.I'm not sure if something in the Logo_Anim is controlling the change in color of each piece of the logo, but it doesn't seem like the indiviual logo_#'s have any kind of setting..

So im trying to get my flash portfolio up and running. And im using the code I usually do for buttons which is for example:
function onbrandingClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("branding");
}
branding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onbrandingClick);
All my menu buttons are working until I click on portfolio which has 6 different catergories and it just stops at branding and the other category buttons wont work. They are all set up fine with instances and such. However the buttons in the menu will still work.This might be confusing but I am up for sending the file to show someone if anyone is interested!

I was trying to erase(using eraser tool) some portions of the jpeg file after importing it in flash.. It does not work....I even converted it to symbol but the problem remains the same. Is it permitted or I am following the wrong approach.
I had another issue with a swf file..It plays perfect in the flash player...But when the same file is imported & played in the After Effects, it displays a still frame..

var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
sound.load(url)
I want to modify the sound data (an mp3) as it comes in. Specifically, the mp3 will be encrypted using a stream cipher and I want to decrypt the data as it comes in. Is this possible using some type of event?

I am working on a portfolio in flash which dynamically defines the target of the buttons. When a button is click an external swf is loaded, and the button sends the value of a variable to the loaded swf. So far I got it to work as I want it to, BUT the ouput-panel keeps giving the message:
Target not found: Target="this._parent.project" Base="_level0.button_1"
I am using this code:
on (release) {
this._parent.project.loadMovie("project.swf");
tellTarget ("this._parent.project") {
pnumber = a;
}}
The "pnumber" var is used in de project.swf to define a folder. "a" is a var with a numeric value. I know the tellTarget is an old-fashioned way of scripting, but so far it is the only piece of script that actually does what I want it to do (except for the error-message)
I tried:
Code:
on (release) {
this._parent.project.loadMovie("project.swf");
this._parent.project.pnumber = a;
}
But this resulted in an undefined var in my target clip, while the tellTarget did return the value for 'a'/'pnumber'.

I am trying to create an app used to display my company's portfolio. This includes a show-reel section.I developed it using HTML and jQuery, and converted it into an AIR app using the plugin for Dreamweaver.Admittedly this my first attempt at creating an app this way, but it all went smoothly until I wanted to play the video.
My Flash video player does not work, and according to some similar posts I read this is because of a referencing issue. I found several solutions for Flex, but that does not help my specific case.HTML 5 does not seem to work in AIR 2.0 either, so I am a bit stumped.

my web site is based on pop-ups... which i am thinking now was pretty stupid as most people seem to have pop-up blockers. Well i havnt got the time at the moment to change the whole site, but perhaps some one could tell me an alternative way of loading the first flash screen (after the index html page), centered and with no boarders from the initial screen.

Ok so I have bought books and watched hours of tutorials and its painfully obvious that I am not picking AS3 (or any scripting)up very well.
I am creating a Flash Portfolio site and I am curious about the correct architecture. If I have a central Nav with corresponding animations, should the whole site reside on one stage or a new stage per animation?
If there is a FAQ or tutorial on Kirupa that covers this (I might have missed it)feel free to simply direct me there.

My portfolio is going to consist of certain experiments I have done in flash like this[URL]and I am trying to work out in my head at the design stage how I should go about implementing them on my website.
- [URL] - he uses split frames, but this limits what you can do with the portfolio bit
- [URL]- loads them into a new window, but can lose focus of the portfolio
- I have momentary thought about using popups.. then I remembered how crass and annoying they are xD
IDEALLY I would like to have the projects loading within my flash portfolio on one page.. and it might be possible seeing as they are mostly single sprite class files.. but the logistics of optimization.. importing the classes.. creating and deleting them completely is a massive challenge...

I had published the Flash project which resulted in the creation of a HTML file. I previewed what the web page would look like by opening the HTML file in a browser. The first obvious issue was that the page was not centered, but left-justified. I think that I know how to satisfy that issue by reading the HTML file into Dreamweaver and adding a <center> tag just below the <body> tag. The issue that I cannot figure out is that my page is a bit smaller than my monitor size, so there is naturally the white "fill" areas to the margins. Is there a way to change this color to black? Is that the bgcolor variable that is in the <body> tag?

I'm building an app whereby the user can upload an image and place it onstage amongst other images. They then finally save out the resulting composite image as a jog. I have all this working, however, I'm looking for a way to allow the user to manipulate the colour of their uploaded image so it blends better with the others, I'm imaging, by means of a slider or somethiing.

For the project I'm working on I need to dynamically load a SWF and then an imagine on top of that SWF. Based on mouse overs and the like that image will fade in or out. I have the dynamic implementation down, I just cannot quite seem to figure out how to manage the image file that overlays the SWF. Here's a snippet of the code I'm working with:
Code:
