ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Make Flash Widget Using Yahoo Weather API
May 5, 2009
I am trying to make a flash widget using yahoo weather API. Since it uses RSS I thought it was simples but I am stuck. I just don't know how to extract info inside this xml line:
<yweather:units temperature="C" distance="km" pressure="mb" speed="kph"/>
My complete code is:
var location_id:String='POXX0022';
var grades:String='c';
var url:String="[URL]"+location_id+"&u="+grades;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
[Code] ......

I create a widget that displays the weather from a feed supplied from weather site, but after the initial load the weather isn't updated until the page is refreshed. Its not going to be web based widget so HTML refresh won't work. How would I go about getting the swf to auto refresh every 4 hours?

I have made an analog clock in adobe flash CS5 and want to make it a proper application. When i create an exe file it will run in flash player or firefox etc., which i dont want. Visual Basic 8 could not help me either.
So my question is: How do i make a real, self running and self installing application for this flash clock?
There are hundreds of clocks to download on the net, which run on there own and do not open in flash player. How is this done?

I have been trying to use API provided by tringme to create widget to make a call. I am unable to get more information from tringme support about connecting. I assumed that the call wasn't through due to insufficient credit. Even with sufficient credit the call doesn't happen. Have any of you people work on it any time?
I have written the code as per the API, <uid> has been replaced with a valid uder id.
Code:
var tringMeURL:String = "rtmp://sip.tringme.com/voicemail/<uid>";
var randomstreamname = "63e457425defb24e8a5ca80de80d2e3817ea5c1b";
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

I was wondering if it is possible to get the accurate weather (temperature, cloudy/sunny/rainy/...) from an existing server somewhere into a flash mx file?For those who have windows vista already: there's a weather gadget that shows the temperature and a graphical representation of the sky outside, at that particular location, at that particular time (so very accurate).
First problem: where can I find a server who provides me of this data?
Second problem: where to start with the actionscript?

I need some brilliant Flash experts to weight in on an article we wrote at the advertising agency I work for. We put an article together about the ability for Flash to be indexed by Google and Yahoo. It's a two sided debate between Search Engine Optimization (SEO) guys and Flash guys. SEO is killing Flash right now in the debate.[URL]

In the past week it appears that Yahoo has changed their crossdomain file to only accept Yahoo domains [URL]This is causing my applications that use Yahoo Maps to stop working (i.e. security exception). I cannot proxy the calls to Yahoo because the URL is embedded in the MXP file that Yahoo distributes.

I've been trying to build some GUI for a level editor using Yahoo's ASTRA Flash Components using the FlashDevelop IDE. After finally including all the "Global Classpaths", I managed to almost get it to compile apart from one Warning that causes the build to fail.
Code:
C:UsersJoshDesktopFruitBoxsrccomyahooastraflcontrolsMenu.as(720): col: 31 Warning: return value for function 'anonymous' has no type declaration.
This is apparently where the warning is triggered:
PHP Code:
// Activate the menu
//this.setFocus();
setFocus();
//set a timeout to fix an issue with accessibility events
var func:Function = function(){ dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE))};

I'm wondering wether there's a Javascript way to detect wether a user has any sort of flash blocking plugin installed so i can accommodate these users properly. For example, I use 'click to flash', but sites that use SiFR to render text are littered with "click to flash" buttons, which is getting very annoying. I don't use SiFR in my designs for this reason. But if I could spot wether there's a flash blocking plugin installed, I would simply not call the SiFR function.

I'm trying to use the Astra library from Yahoo but I'm getting an error saying the base class BaseScrollPane is not found. It appears to be imported from fl.containers.BaseScrollPane, which leads me to believe it should be a part of the base flash 10 library and therefore should be available, but it appears to be missing. Is this part of a separate package from somewhere?
Update: For what it's worth, I found the actual class files in the Configuration/Component Source folder on my hard drive, but adding that to the class path (as well as the Components directory) did no good. I ended up fixing the issue by dragging a scroll pane component to the stage from the Components window and then deleting it, but I'm not sure what exactly that action changed that made it work, and would like to know for future reference.

I am in the process of creating a Flash widget for a client. I am an accomplished Flash designer, but this particular project has got me stumped! The client absolutely loves the concept, but the current approach that I have taken just isn't practical. I have used Swift3D to produce the animated squares manually, and then pieced them together in Flash. This is fine for 6 squares, but the client wants the image to be divided up into about 100 squares, which translates into a lot of manual work! In addition, the SWF file is going to get very big very quickly due to all the frames needed for each square. Lastly, the client wants the option to change the images used at a later date, which simply isn't an option at the moment without starting from scratch.
I cannot think of an easy way around the above problems other than producing the animation at run time, which is what I am trying to do now. However, I can't think where to start! Ideally, there would be two JPGs which Flash would carve up into squares and animate itself but this is really pushing my abilities.

I'm converting an old Captivate 4, Actionscript 2 GoToSlide widget to Captivate 5 and Actionscript 3.The FLA file of the old widget when opened in Flash has Actionscript 2 code including the following extract sitting at top level of the file timeline. The third last line of the following evidently controls the colour of the text on rollover:
mc.onRollOver = function() {
