View 4 RepliesI've got a job for a client that includes creating a flash movie that will contain a number of thumbnails that represents links to avi movies, powerpoint presentation etc. The thumbnails need to be updated and added to on a regular basis. Is it best to call the thumbnails from an xml doc so the client can update easily?In the flash movie the thumbnails will be presented as a horizontal slideshow that needs to scroll horizintally on
mouseover, and the thumbnails will also display a caption on mouseover. Is this all possible if the images are coming from an external source such as an XML doc.
I am running CS3. I want to access and update a MS SQL database through ASP but I could not find data components to download for CS3. I found Phil Heinz's tutorial[URL] but it is for MX Pro 2004. Should I be using Flex to do this or will the Flash 8 data components work on CS3?
View 2 RepliesI have a video player that is currently using XML for its video library which is all fine and dandy. Now I have some developers working on a CMS type page in PHP that is going to hopefully pass some sort of information to my player that will let it know where the video is stored on our server. Is there a way to do this without using FMS? If so does anyone have ideas where I can find the information for it.

I'm building a mobile game and wanted to make it free with a banner ad on the start screen. I was going to use Smaato but it seems according to their api that they require that I pass them the UDID and the device ip in the query string. Is there anyway to do that with Actionscript 3? The code I'm using is below but it only pulls in an ad and when that ad is clicked on it points to a 2x2 gif on Smaato's servers. I got this code out of a book titled "iOS Development with Flash" and it's only a few months old. Am I trying to accomplish the impossible? Has anyone accomplished Smaato ingratiation with AS3?

View 2 RepliesI'd like to create one empty Flash movie that is essentially a placeholder for externally loaded content I can change through XML. This content would just be able to randomly load 1 of 3 photos, with a button linking to a website within each of the photos on page load. If the user refreshes the page, a new photo with it's link would appear, but I understand since it's random,having 3 images the same image is likely to reappear, but I can always add additional photos and links.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that might lead me on the correct path to create this? I've found some tuts, but they've been different than my need.
We want to be able to upload over 100+ files (if needed) to a server along with desc + keywords. I see that Flash 8 has the neccessary tools to handle file uploading, but my question is, can we have it act as a Stand alone FTP program so that we can utilize the fastest user upload, or will we be confined to the settings in the server INI settings.IE MAX_UPLOAD_TIME,MAX_FILESIZE, etc. If possible we want to avoid using the HTTP upload as it is noticeably slower. So if we can use flash to utilize user BW to upload, then that would be ideal.

Is it possible for Flash or possibly Adobe AIR to have access to a local Access database?
I will have either a Flash EXE or AIR application running on a local PC (WinXP). The PC will also have a local Access database. I need my Flash application to get the data from this Access database. How would I do this?
I doubt it can be done with Flash or AIR alone (someone prove me wrong or right), but is there an option for some middle-man application to access the data base and send it on to Flash? How would this work?
Or could I read the MDB file into Flash and parse it myself? is there a library for this?
I want to ask if these theory is possible in Actionscript 3.0.Basically, whenever accessing an xml file in actionscript 3 we use this var xml FilePath: String = "../XML/XmlFileName.xml" or we could declare a url.I want to ask if it is possible to declare an xml file that accesses variables from vb Instead of declaring the path, we pass a variable in vb instead ? I want the xml to be dynamic instead of being hardcoded.

View 2 RepliesI am currently making a website using Flash as the UI and asp.net as the backend. I managed to pass variable to flash to asp and viceversa using loadVariableNum and I found here on some thread explaining the loadVar but unfortunately I was unable to run it don't know why.

View 5 RepliesI have a flash8 object embedded in a VB.net form. I use GetVariable and SetVariable from VB to get and set variables in the flash movie. This works great until you try to do a GetVariable on a variable in the movie that hasn't been defined. I would expect it to return 'undefined' or 'null', but instead my VB app becomes stuck, seemingly waiting for the GetVariable response... I tried to do a TypeOf check to see if a null is returned, but no luck with that either.

Is it possible to develop original content with Actionscript using bespoke question formats and transfer this to a LMS. I have just developed lots of script without using the question templates & feel that it has been a waste if I cannot make it SCORM compliant. The alternative is that I switch off so much of the functionality and just use the question templates but it will make so much of it bland.

View 3 RepliesI have heard that there are ways that Flash can create an external XML file. Most of my searches have revealed that this can be done using PHP for server side solutions. However, I am wondering if there are other ways that this can be done on a local maching, using the XML resolver for example. There doesn't seem to be much information about this out there.

View 1 RepliesI stayed out of the picture as long as I could ..because Ifigured there would be confusion and consternation as Adobe assimilated Macromedia's products.Here I am with Adobe Illustrator and Flash CS3,and the disconnect between the two is astonishing! I'll attribute some of my unfamiliarity to my recent involvement with Flash, but still,the vector pen tools operate soooo differently. Furthermore,selected anchor points are black in Illustrator and hollow in Flash polar opposites! The respective tool bars look similar, but often the selected tool behaves in a distinctly different manner, and the palette serves up dissimilar options.
Go the path of least resistance. I'll do my vector work in Illustrator, my workhorse tool of choice,then paste or import into Flash. But then gradients look like poo.Pfffff. (If anyone knows,what IS the problem with Illustrator-to Flash gradients. Is it that Flash Player is still too heavily based on Macromedia technology? i.e. the PostScript is OK but FlashPlayer doesn't render it well?)So, enough rant ...
What are the chances that Illustrator and Flash are better aligned in CS4, at least as far as object compatibility and similaar vector pen tool behavior? I can probably deal with the rest.
