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?
I just posted about an hour ago and I realized that there's a better way to explain what i'm trying to do. Basically, i'm wondering if there's a way to create a blog in a flash site.

View 1 RepliesI 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

I'm about to go on a 1000 mile charity cycle ride. I would like to be able to upload my position to the website at the end of each day - and have the site show precisely where I am on a map of the whole route - a sort of rolling image, if you like. I'd also like to be able to upload blog material at the same time. I have ActionScript 3 available.
View 5 RepliesI made 3 seperate animations for my site (the only difference in them is the words used are different). Is it possible for me to make it so that the animations change with each person visiting the site - so lets say one person enters the site and sees the intro animation with (hypothetical) word "welcome" - the second time the site is visited, the visitor sees "willkommen", the third time its "bienvenue". Is that possible? How can I make it?

View 1 RepliesI'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to. So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up. When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed. Is there a way to make it show file size? Or some workaround? And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?

I've been working on my first full blown flash site for a few weeks, tackling problems as I encounter them, and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me. All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive. How can I make this work?
View 0 RepliesI have to make a flash product displayer for the main page of their site. They don't know a whole lot about web development (but they know enough), so they keep asking me to do things that I keep telling them I can do.Well, I can't. What I need the thing to do is have the user hit a button, and the product change. They can also hit the back button for the last product. The previous and next product will be visible but not touchable. Almost like a scrolling wheel of products.
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to make a link from one flash site to another, but not just to the home page of it, but to a specific part of it. For example, I run and am wanting to make the direct links from the websites of the seven artists involved (mostly flash sites) to their specific page on thesite... does that make sense?
View 2 RepliesI have an HTML page with buttons. Each button needs to have a getURL to open the Flash site, but then somehow, needs to also load the appropriate swf into that Flash site... My reasoning is because I have some scripts under my site that need to be in HTML (or PHP) for search engines, that way I don't have to do the whole site in HTML.. I hate having a HTML index page, but it's the only solution I could come up with. So, when a visitor selects any of the navigation buttons, I don't want them to have to select that button again, when the Flash site loads. how to do this for Flash 7 / AS 2.0? Or if there are any posts here about it?
View 2 RepliesI need to create a login page in my flash site that relates to information input to a mysql database. after the submit their information we want to send them a link to a differnt flash page with a login screen they will use their first name and a password (already in our database) to gain access to this "new" page. on that page there will be a welcome message that says "Welcome, User First Name" so I guess i have two questions
1: how do i set up a login page?
2: how do i pull that login info to a welcome page?
I have a client that is wanting me to create a flash website in which they can add products pages (product info, images, etc.) themselves after the website is completed. I will setup up the first few products then they will do the rest. Would I wanted to go with dynamic text and empty movie clips loading the images? If so how could I have this create a duplicate page that refers to the new text and image?
View 3 RepliesI'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

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?
