ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Preloader In XML Driven PhotoSlider
Feb 3, 2011
I have following AS code for XML driven PhotoSlider which needs a PreLoader because the first image loads too slow. how to implement into this XML Flash sldier?
I have this nifty little 3D Carousel url... which I learned to build at url...I would like to know if it is possible to add a preloader.One that is visible while the xml images are loading...or one that hides the xml images until they are all loaded...either one is fine with me...any ideas?
I bought a flash site template that loads xml driven swfs inside the main swf as different menu items are clicked. The modules that come with the template work fine, but I don't know how to add a third party xml driven swf, so that it shows up properly. While the third party swf works fine as a standalone, the embedded version loads just an empty movie.
I have one application where GUI and Data are rendered from database. So the application takes atleast 20-30 seconds to load on a browser as hugh data come from database.Now I added preloader for this application but I face a problem with this preloader.The preloader is hangs in between and again it ends before my application get load propertly.So will you please suggest me the proper way to use the preloader so it won't stop or hand during initialization process.
I am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish. The only rotators I can seem to find have external XML/image files, etc. All I want to do is create simple SWF's that I can use to display rotating images preferably is a smooth and stylish manner. Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?
I'm being asked if some resources I created can be made accessible. Currently each resource is the exact same launch.swf, but each is pulling from a different xml file. I'm so proud of myself! But now it looks like you can't dynamically generate accessilbe resources. I'm being asked for the alt.text equivalent of various text boxes, while the actual content of each box depends on multiple factors.
Im currently working on a system whereby a user can fill in text fileds within a PDF form, submit the data as XML and this is picked up by the Actionscript in a .SWF file thus allowing end user customisation without the need to edit the actual Flash files.I have all this working fine so far however im stuck at a particular part.I want to have radio buttons (or something similar) on each page of the PDF where the user can select if the page has to be output in the .SWF file or not. Ive tried creating the actionscript part for this however im completely lost. The XML from the PDF i can manage no probs but the actionscript part is stumping me.
I've been hunting for tutorials on XML driven AS3 menus. I've found some really cool stuff, but nothing that does what I want, and most don't really explain the "hows' involved in getting the XML into the flash. I want to dynamically load menu buttons based upon an xml document in horizontal fashion with sub menus that load 10px down and to the right of the main menu button. With each item in the sub menu filing to the right. I'd also like to have that light up bar track the main buttons so that as the mouse moves over the bar slides to it.
Here's the code for the bar: ActionScript Code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; button_mc.buttonMode = true; button2_mc.buttonMode = true; button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover); button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover); function hover(e:MouseEvent):void { new Tween(bar_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,bar_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,1,true); }
Most of the XML driven code I have found obviously doesn't have a static instance name and use addChild()
I've recently been working on some bigger projects in Flash and would really like to be able to use Test Driven Development but haven't found a great way to do so. I'd imagine its a bit harder to do in flash as most of its projects require heavy user interactivity (drag and drop with mouse, keyboard input to move etc...).
I am a newbie programmer and i dont yet have any idea of the WEB. I wish to start learning a technology that will allow me to build websites( database driven) i dont know which one to choose. I know some actionscript3 and flash. Is it possible to create a database driven website using these alone? Or do i need to learn any other technology? If i do then what should i learn? I know j2se for the desktop and oracle SQL/MySQL
please show me a path. Also wanted to know if there is any technology like Wordpress for J2EE/flash OK so i finally got the feeling that i need to learn PHP anyway along with css and javascript. So it is fine. Also another query. Which CMS should i consider? Wordpress or Joomla?
i stumbled accross the following website: URL...As you can see, the site is driven using a hd video. the user can interact with the site by performing little actions with the mouse. I guess this is simply accomplished by seeking through the video using the mousemovements as offset.What i would like to know is, how are videos like this encoded ? How big is the video behind a site like this ? Is the HD content streamed from the server ? What compression would you recommend for similar quality ? Do you guys know a tutorial/article that deals with constructing "video driven" websites like the one above ?
I have an XML driven Flash site and can't get quote marks to work in Flash 6. They show up fine in version 7 and 8 of the flash player. Here's what I'm doing:

details of "XML driven flash tree structure"..that could be something related to the left pane of Windows Explorer and i need to add the data dynamically...is there any useful tutorials or documents for this?
i did a flashsite feeded by xml with text etc. html formatted etc.i am wondering if there is any possibility to use a backoffice system with a login to make my clients modify the xml files... something with an integrated html editor o.e.i could set up typo3 to make a backoffice to edit online xml files, but there must be something better for this.
I'm building a kind of CMS system for a site, with PHP and Flash. To start with in a specific section, I'm printing out data in a php page, using the & so they can be read and used in Flash, then I'm writing out the text as html within a dynamic flash field in flash.
Below is how i print out the basic variables for flash in php.
I am flashCS3. then i am integrate with XML driven content. but here its french characters in XML. but it doesnt show properly in flash. how can i solve the these kind of prob...
This site is so comlex:[URL].. would anyone direct me on how to begin to create something like this. I may have to do it for work. I know it involves xml, a database, and some advanced scripting, but I would like to have evry section in seperate clusters.
I have been tasked to research methods for creating powerpoint-style presentations, but using Flash for better transitions, effects, etc. This also needs to be data-driven so that information can be easily swapped out for different presentations - maybe fed by an XML file?Any suggestions on where to start looking? Can Flash handle something like this, even outputting the swf of the final presentation?
im loading an external AS2 swf into my AS3 swf with the Loader class. the external swf is driven by data.xmlwhen i hit ctrl enter, i get this error:Error opening URL 'file:///E|/portfolio/akram/data.xml'Heres the code im using, pretty standard;
var galleryFolder:String = "BgMotor"; var LoaderOne:Loader = new Loader(); var MotorSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryFolder + "/banner.swf");
There is a function that I use all the time written in AS2 with buttons and rollovers to create a smooth animation in and out that doesn't relly on gotoAndPlay or gotoAndStop methods (as I have found them to be quite buggy. The AS2 code follows. I have started to write the same function in AS3, but keep getting errors when attempting to create a nested even listener for the onEnterFrame function that will drive the animation forward. How can I rewrite the AS2 function to work the same way in AS3.This is the AS2 Code
I have an actions layer and a layer with a video object, called "theVideo". Below is the actionscript:
stop(); // global objects.... buffer._visible = false; // playlist object for the playlist from raw xml data
[code]....
This script works locally. I have checked and double-checked the file locations when uploaded. It will parse the XML file when uploaded, but will not play the videos.
I need to make a XML Driven Photo slide in Flash CS5.It needs to have a Box that contains 5 Thumbnails(by XML) act as buttons.The Box sits on top of the Main photo area and shrinks (or close out) when user click its close button. And it opens out by clicking on a open button.I'm sure it can be done by using timeline, Tweening or you name it..But what about the Thumbnails that run from the XML file?Can they disappear with the Box and retrieve when it opens?[code]
