I want to be able to access a webpage and retrieve data from it.
Suppose I went to Google and typed in "convert gallon to pint" and hit enter. The conversion is displayed from the google calculator as the first item "1 US gallon = 8 US pints".
How would I do the same thing using Actionscript 3. Like the user clicks a button and it sends what I'm searching for to google, and then retrieves the first item of the search "1 US gallon = 8 US pints".
How do we retrieve data in a webpage for comparasion? I need to do this because I dont have complete control or curtain aspects and need to change menu tilte data ( French or English ) depending on what the Webpage Title data is displayed. I have serverside code in the title eg.{title} that will start with either "Welcome" or "Bienvenue".
So I need to retrieve the first word or amount of characters compair.
if var webpdata =="Welcome" then var menuitemdata=english else var menuitemdata=french
The above is just a idea and not actuall script of course
I want to render a very simple Flex data grid. How do I anchor the SWF flash file in the HTML? Do I need to compile a special .swf or can I use a 'standard' data grid .swf - and just pass the data to it?
What are the options (or is it possible at all) for a web page (running on a remote server, not localhost) to access a data stream (not video) coming in via the USB port of the local computer?
Ideally this would work cross-platform (Windows, Unix, Mac anyway) and the local computer would not have to download/install anything to make it work (beyond what you can reasonably expect a computer to have)
An embedded Java applet seems the only way, but I'm wondering if there's any other technologies that could do it. If the restriction is lifted so that the user can install something (basic for non-techies, not setting up a local server running node.js for example) does that make more things possible (Flash?)
I'm making a contact page in as3 and I need some help. How do I send post data to a php page on this web page http://parallels.fm. Basically I have three dynamic text fields and a submit button. If I can send post data from that page to a php page that would be great.
I want toload a html webpage which contains a calendar into my swf file. Thehtml file does not contain tags that flash does not recognise butim unsure on how to get flash to display the webpage, if this ispossible at all. I have attached the code within my html file.Basically all I want to do is load "calendar.html" into my flashmovie and keep its format
how would i go about uploading my canvas , and some form data (name,e-mail, etc) to a php, and how would i retrieve that data on the php page. i looked at the filereference.upload method and it appears that you have to use the browse method first, thus wouldn't work with uploading the canvas. I also looked at the urlloader and it looks like that only gets data into app..
I made some videos with graphic effects in my video editing software. I suppose it might be easier to make SWF files from dedicated flash software - but I am quite comfortable doing things in video. So anyway, my goal is to be able to play the video on a web page - BUT WITHOUT the controls that go along with flv players such as wimpy. I would be just as happy to use flv if I could figure out how to hide the contols (play, volume etc.). I just want the movie to play - it should just play like an animated gif (but with sound and my option to loop or not).
I'm taking a website i put together, and plopping it on a DVD.
There are 3 parts to it.
One, is the flash .exe, which brings up a small splash page with general info on me. At the bottom there are two links to webpages i made. I would like to keep all the websites files ON the DVD, and not have the end-user need to have an internet connection, although in these times, i guess i could get by that way.
2nd part, is the webpage's main page. The main page contains a flash frame, in which there are six buttons, each with AS(2) looking to a folder on the DVD, to bring up another URL in the same window. Ru:
Code: on (release) { getURL("D:/main/1/index.html","_self");
weird thing is, this works when on the hdd, but as soon as i put it on the DVD and try to run it from there, the main page doesn't connect/open the link I specified. I've also tried it:
Code: getURL("1/index.html","_self");
and that doesn't work either. i'm not if i'm missing something small, but if need be, i can post a chopped down zip or rar with the files needed for someone to take a look at.
i want to integrate my own 3d renderings (avi's) convert to flv and embed into my website.
always used gif anims in the past so dont really have a clue if someone one could give me a rundown of all tools and steps/ procedures with html necessary to acheive this
im not trying to do anything too fancy, just replace the low quality gif anims on my site with some decent quality flash movies
I'm currently developing a full flash site. I've made the dropdown navigation menu with flash also. However, whenever I insert or import it into the webpage .fla, nothing works. When I preview the navigation menu swf file it works perfectly, ie, the mouseover effects, however I lose all actionscript coding when I bring it into my webpage .fla, what am I doing wrong?
I've recently uploaded my source files to my host and everything is running fine...except for one of my SWF files and I dont know whats wrong. It works when I run it on dreamweavers preview yet since I've uploaded it, it doesn't work. The file paths correct, the files are in the right folder yet still nothing. The address is doneanddone.co.nz . I already have a SWF that plays sound and that works but the video above the done and done text does not.
I was wondering how you got .mov and other such files onto your webpage. Do you convert it or can you upload them somewhere and write actionscript to get it?
I have designed a website in flash. I tried all the file resolution size like 1024x768 or 800x600 or even 1000x600. Whatever size it is, the webpage doesnt fit on my monitor. Either it is too small or very big.Also I dont want to see any blank white space. How will I fit it exactly on all monitors?
I'm taking a Flash CS4 class at the local community college. Our teacher is making a LOT of assumptions about what we know. Our first assignment is to set up a web site (I've already taken web design I & II, but this is my first exposure to Flash). What I'm looking for is some guidance about the orderly steps to take when setting up a flash web site.I'm thinking I need to go into Photoshop or Fireworks first and design the pages so I can import them.But what about when I get to Flash? Page set-up, size, create layers for each of my pages, import things, where to start adding effects first... I can't decide the most efficient ORDER in which to do things.
I'm using Flash CS4. When a page is opened it plays a 20 second Flash movie. At the end of the movie I want to be able to transition directly to another web page. How do I do it?
I have embedded a swf file into a html web page, upload the swf file and index.html into the same folder on the server. But, nothing is being displayed when I go to the URL.
I downloaded a template of a 3d spinning cube of a forum, redesigned the images on each of the faces of the cube and it can be seen on the attachment:
When i run the swf file this is what i can see but as soon as i put it on the webpage the cube is still there but none of the images on the faces.[code]...
Is this possible with Flash?? I want to place a SWF in the top right of the webpage, and when people click on a link from the main menu on the left of the browser, it plays the SWF. This page is written in php, so there is no refreshing of the webpage, just the content.Basically think of an elevator user clicks on menu item, elevator wheel spins, and javascript loads new content....so the elevator wheel has to play everytime a link is clicked.
No matter what I do though, when I publish the fla file, a small margin appears around the edges.Now, without adjusting the html, can I get the fla file to publish without a border so that it appears naturally as 'full' within the browser?
Is there anyway to protect an swf when it is placed on a webpage. I know I can copyright things, but this will not stop people from getting their hands on it. Is there any code I can do to stop any of these decompilers working on it or anything.
I've done a search and found out about LocalConnections but I don't seem to be able to apply them to my issue. I have two separate SWF files that appear on the same web page. Both are simple animations and all I want is when the first has finished playing for the second to start, and them when that has completed restart the first one again (and so on...).
I'm also guessing that in order for this to work I'll need some code in the first SWF to detect that the second has finished loading otherwise nothing will happen when the first SWF reaches the end.
I know how to animate with Flash, and I know the basics of Actionscript 2.0 enough to make simple games.I have a project to do which I wanted to do with Javascript/CSS, but instead I'd like to hone my Flash skills to do it.If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! I'm making an image move in a path about a web page without regard to other content on the page.I was thinking that I could make a Flash vid with a transparent background and lay it over the page.If so, how do I make a transparent background? If that's not the solution, can I even do this with Flash?
From JavaScript, you need to get a reference to the Flash Player object. There are two basic Flash Player versions that run in the browser: ActiveX and the plug-in version. The ActiveX version runs natively in Internet Explorer, while the plug-in version is used by the rest of the browsers. The ActiveX player is controlled by the object tag in an HTML page, and you can retrieve a JavaScript reference using window. objectId where objectId is the value of the id attribute of the object tag. For example, if the object tag's id attribute is example, then the reference to the ActiveX player would be window.example.
The plug-in player is controlled by the embed tag in an HTML page, and you can retrieve a JavaScript reference by using window.document. embedName, where embedName is the value of the name attribute of the embed tag. For example, if the embed tag's name attribute is example, then the reference to the plug-in player would be window.document.example.And here's the question itself:Why does the Flash Player Object exist as a window property when embeded via the object tag, while, when embeded via the embed tag, it exists in the window.document property? And what is the most modern way of getting the Flash Player Object from within a web page?
URL...returns some html that I want to parse in Actionscript.How do i call this page from Actionscript while getting back the response in a string variable?
I'm thinking about setting up a website (based on WordPress) to host video tutorials on interpreting CT scans.
In addition to simply letting the visitor view PowerPoint presentation videos, I'm keen on writing some sort of simple app that I can embed in the blog to allow the visitor to scroll through a series of images (i.e. a scan).
I usually code in REALbasic or Objective-C. What are my language options for making an interactive embeddable image viewer in a blog? The website needs to be able to be viewed on an iPad as well as normal desktop browsers.
I have a flash application that runs on web browsers as well as on desktop with some extra functionality, i use webkit for air with desktop app and i need some alternate of it for web app,
