I need an example source of something like this:
The flash reads the XML file, to create the dynamic content (like a picture gallery) The php creates the XML, and it has a user interface where we can upload pictures.
I am trying to to an application to let me pin some areas in a map and the pinned areas should have some information...in a window when I mouse over the mouse.. the 'problem' is to make is Dinamic...The admin area should let users put a pin and add the information, all over the web...

We currently have an issue with in our Citrix farm with Windows 2003 Servers (x64, R2, SP1) Where Flash Flash 10,0,22,87 is installed and working fine when logged in as a Domain administrator but will not work as a normal (non administrative user) to confirm I've given a user who it did not work for Domain admin rights and it started working straight away. I'm using (and published within Citrix) the 32bit version on IE for compadibility reasons and have also tired this on a Window 2003 Server (x86 R2 SP1) and am getting the same results so I have to assume the issue is with Flash and not with my setup.
I've tried the following recommendations:Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via website with an Domain admin login using the change user /install command Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via install_flash_player_ax.exe installer with a domain admin account using the change user /install command Allowing Domain users Modify Premissions (to both the Directories and Files) to the M:WINDOWSsystem32MacromedFlashswflash.ocx & M:WINDOWSSysWOW64MacromedFlashFlash10b.ocx Following KB article [URL] and applying the premission changes recommended Following KB article [URL] and checking the registry premissions on these items I've enabled all ActiveX and Java related IE options in Group Policy to allow the to run for the Internet Zone When going to [URL] either as a Domain admin or a Regular user it confirms that "You have version 10,0,22,87 installed" Still I cant seem to get flash components of websites to load when logged in as a non Administrative User.
We're using External Interface for interfacing between Flash and JavaScript on the HTML page. All works fine online. When we
try to localize the pages though (so that a Salesperson can have a CD full of demos), none of them seem to work.Is this an over-sensitive Flash security issue? We already have allowscriptaccess='always' and swliveconnect=true in the object/embed tags.
What can we do that doesn't require changes on each individual machine to set trust paths or any other kind of browser configuration? Not only do we want to have this content working on the machine of a salesperson, we may get clients that want to deploy content offline (kiosks, machines without any network access).
I'm trying to load a external swf using the Loader object, and that part seems to be working fine. But, I can't seem to be able to cast the LoaderInfo.content to a interface that it's document class implements. This should be possible, shouldn't it?
Code:
public function load()
{

I've got a container swf that loads a few content swfs... now what I'm trying to do is get those content swfs talking to each other (the site is [URL], where the home slideshow, work and firm sections are each separate flash files). Specifically, I'm trying to get buttons on the home slideshow to link to their respective projects in the work section.
I've got home.swf dispatching a custom NavigationEvent when a button is clicked, with the clicked project's id attached to it. My index.swf catches the event, but this is where I'm stuck. I can't get it talking to work.swf. As far as index is concerned work.swf is an instance of Loader, and doesn't have the functions I'm trying to call. Right now the functions are on the timeline on frame 1. Do I have to move all the AS in work.swf into a document class and implement an interface that I can use to cast the Loader in index.swf?
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.

class Impl implements If { ... }
function test(type:Class, obj) {

test(If, new Impl());
The call to test on the last line returns false, but it should be true. How can I do this check right, with the requirement that it must be inside the function?
Real code:
public function iterate(callback:Function, type:Class = null) {

Thinking about developing a "class schedule app" that has a backend user interface that a user can add/edit/delete dates and times, savs and the data shows in a cool graph on a webpage. I was thinking of using authiticated php page to update an xml file or database that could be read by a flash app to create a dynamic graphic. Think a 800 x 500 square with the 7 days set as rows ontop of each other and the times for each day listed horizontally.The times set in xml/database would be color coded boxes with rounded corners that lay over the times for those days.**I am not looking for anyone to tell me how to do this. I was hoping to get ideas or thoughts from other developers on my options as far as languages to dev in. I have done a few searches and found a lot of javascript calendars to select dates but I am less concerned about the backend looking good.

View 2 RepliesOn the main timeline I have
_root.float.page_body = '';
loadVariables("content/flash/color_studies.txt", _root.float.page_body);

Currently I already have a swf which is pulling parameters from a xml file. Just wondering if an asp cms can rewrite this xml file, so that the swf file is controlled by the cms. Or I should have the CMS directly provide parameters to the swf file, in other words, there is no xml file inbetweet swf and cms. Or there will be other methods..?
View 5 RepliesI am attempting to dynamically display a series of questions with answers in my flash movie from an existing ASP page. Initially, the dynamic questions imported from an ASP page appear on the Flash page (question 1, 2, 3, etc.). When the user clicks on a question, the flash movie advances a frame and displays the answer. I can display the questions properly, but I am having a difficult time carrying over the question ID to the next frame so that the appropriate answer will display.
The current database fields look like this:
-QuestionID
-Question
-AnswerID
-Answer
This is very simple to do in ASP or PHP but I am having a tough time trying to tie everything together in Flash. Should I create two separate ASP pages, one to query the questions and one to query the answers? How do I carry the QuestionID to the next frame in Flash?
I would like to create a Flash menu but want to load HTML inside a targeted div on the same page dynamically without refreshing. I've seen several people say iframes can be used but I would prefer to stay away from iframes and use divs if possible. I'm guessing some fancy javascript would be required?
View 1 RepliesI have created a Address Class that uses Remote Hosting to get addresses for site locations and creates the appropriate listings in a MovieClip.
I am trying to use this class as the source for a scroll pane inside another movie clip.
I get the site locations to show up in the scrollPane but they will not scroll.
I believe I need to pause some how in the constructor until I have all the site addresses created. how to get the scrollpane to scroll.
Here are some snippets
The container MovieClip
import FlashCFMXApplication.AL_Addresses;
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
var scrollPane:ScrollPane;
[Code].....
I'm loading images into an otherwise empty MovieClip called container_mc using UILoaders and spacing them horizontally. I also have the image names as TextFields below the images all within the container. I'm masking the container clip using the following syntax:
container_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
container_mc.mask = mask_mc;
This USUALLY works, but for some reason when I load over 20 images into the container -- the mask no longer works. At first it appears as though it's working but then the text disappears and when I mouse over the images to scroll them horizontally, the mask (which is magenta) appears and disappears -- flickering strangely. Should I be caching? I was under the impression I had to for the dynamic text to show up. Maybe it's the where I placed the code (load-order)?
I'm using CS3 and i wrote a in actionscript 3 an .as file that sends a request to a server and gets as a response an xml file. After loading the xml i create dynamically i big number of questions each one of them with some possible choices for the user to select(Radio buttons). The problem is that i have about 40 questions with about 120 radio buttons to show the user but only 5 fit the screen and the others are not visible. Can anyone give me a help using scrollpane or something else so i can give the user a way to see all of the questions and radio buttons available?
View 0 RepliesA client asked me to make him a flash presentation file in order to put it on a cdrom and distribute it to his clients.He asked me also to make the presentation file dynamic so it is easy for him to update the content of the presentation and distribute it anew, when there is a change of the content.If it was a web based presentation, I could use php to read folders and populate the data in his presentation file (I had in mind to put folders relative to the file with the content in it ("client_description.txt", photos, "work_description.txt", etc.)). But now that the file he needs is a presentation file. Is it possible to have as3 read the folders of the cdrom?Do you have another proposition to make in order for the making of a dynamic presentation file?

i am trying to put this in scroll pane but it wont scroll .. modifying the code so that scrollpane works
A client has a flash website that they wish to have indexable by google. They are under the impression that google will be able to traverse this swf and get all their content out of it. However their site is very dynamic, it is a front end only for a php/mysql backend, it loads all content via dynamically created xml files based on the http get calls that are made to the api. As far as i understand google does not know how to index a flash site like this. Our recommendation is to use the same api to create a shadow site for the googlebots to crawl and then deeplink to sections of the flash site. They are not convinced.. Does anyone have any proof either FOR or AGAINST this solution? <flattery>I come here because i know this is the definitive source for flash information.</flattery>
View 1 Repliesas i know, the component scrollpane in the movie haves the content of a movieclip, but, i am wondering if it was possible to let the content of the scrollpane dynamic, say, taking pictures, data, movies, from outside, this content won't be specific, always may change...
let's say, i have an aplication in wich i would like to show some pictures and info about it, a travel agency for example, i will have different pictures of diferent places, info about tavels, costs, graphics and so on... can i do this using the scrollpane? can i let it dynamic?
For anyone that has ever run into the flaw that makes dynamic content disapear in IE I've found the solutionThe issue is caching -- I'm not sure what causes the issue but I do know that in IE it tries to cache the PHP/XML doc and it screws everything upthe fix is to concatinate a random/unique string at the end of the load request - Like so-gStuff.load("link.php?cachebuster=" + new Date().getTime());works like a charm ... my problem in IE was when you clicked refresh or you clicked the button that loaded the information into the dynamic text field it would disapear.more info / detail can be found here

This is really weird and I have no idea what could be causing this.I have this simple Flash site:
http:[url]....The main interface is loaded, and then it starts to preload a few external JPG images.The problem is that with IE it is taking about FOUR times (or even more) the time to load the same pictures with FF. In a slow connection such as a 128K the main interface takes the same time to load either on FF aswel IE - about 5-10 seconds. Then, it starts loading the external pictures - in FF it will take about 20 seconds more and in IE it will take about 80 seconds more. It is clear to me that the problem is not in the site loading itself, but in the contents loading. I can't see what in the browser could be interfering in the SWF, unless that the IE Flash plugin have some known (or unknown!) bug regarding to MovieClipLoader!
The only thing I can have in mind, is that I am not terminating the listeners in the onLoadComplete events, so theoretically they would be keeping the CPU busy even after the pictures finish to load (I spawn about 30 listeners, one for each picture). However, I doubt that this is the reason or else it would make FF slow down too, indeed? Also I noticed that when running the application in the authoring environment (control+ENTER) but loading contents from remote server, it have the same behavior as when loaded within IE (slow loading).
