ActionScript 3.0 :: Incorporating A Live CNN News Headline Tracker - RSS?
Nov 24, 2009
I have a client who wants a live CNN headline ticker on their website.This would be easy if it were an HTML based website, but this one is a Flash based website.In looking around I've learned that you can use javascript or PHP to do this ... create a really simple live news headline ticker? Basically I have never done anything like this and have no idea how to go about it ... woould I use a component? What might the AS3 code look like to do something like this?

Making an XML news reader based off of senocular Squirrel XML news.
I'm using Fuse and wanted to target the dynamic text and or background portions of the headline section.
However, this movie clip is attached to the menu_mc so I'm stumped as to what I should exactly target for the fuse sequence (or any mx.transition/zigo engine based code-tweening process for that matter).
I've attached the files in a .zip for people to look at (and possibly conquer my problem!

I wanted to add a second news box under the first one and have it pull the first two news items in the xml file and have it displayed on the movie. Currently it is putting the first news item in both news boxes.ction script so that the second box is actually the second "<news> tag". From the tutorial I removed the <info> <author> and <comment> tags.

I am trying to create a flash headline gallery animation for a web site and I am having a bit of trouble. I am trying to get something similar to what you see on many websites today. Example 49er website ( [URL].. Typically the animation starts with one headline for a story "Click here to learn more" . After 7 seconds or so it goes to the next.I want mine to utilize the horizontal sliding effect between stories. underneath the stories are several buttons for navigating to a specific headline.
Many example sites i've seen use javascript or something else, but i was attempting to use Flash. I borrowed some code from a tutorial and I have some of it done. I have the button nav working, and the headlines slide horizontally when clicked. What i can't seem to add to this is the auto-play, wait 7 seconds then go to the next.

I'm making a graphic button for a news app that allows the user to click on a headline.The button is composed of font and a rectangular shape in the back of the text. I want the text to be 100% transparent, and create the effect that you can see in the titles of this movie poster:
[URL]
does anyone know how to do this? doing it the way you would think...which is just to make the text 100% transparant doesnt work because the the background shape of the button (about 65% transparent) is in the way.

I bought a flash mp3 player from Active Den which I'm hoping to incorporate into my (tumblr) site. The mp3 player was made 2 years ago.
The mp3 folder with all files needed is here: [URL]
And the code for my site is here: [URL]
I'm hoping to add a transparent background too so it doesn't overlay the site itself when active.

I need to integrate ASP.NET into an existing Flash site. The site is heavily laden with Flash and needs to communicate with a SQL Server database. I want to use ASP.NET SQLDataSource for this purpose. Given that I need to integrate the two technologies for one web page on the site, do I need to make the site fully ASP.NET with embedded Flash objects? Or, can I just add a single ASPX page to the site that contains the web.config and connection string to SQL Server?

I have an mp3 player(AS3) loads in external mp3. I am trying to attach the flash local connection script to the mp3 script so that I can have the mp3 pop up in a smaller browser and it be controlled by the main homepage.
here is an example, [URL] select track 4, you will see it starts playing but also another small window pops up but its behind the main browser. this is then controlled with a 'Stop' and 'Play' function on the main home page.
thats what I am trying to create:
ok;
I have an example working for the flash local connection where you can drag a ball and it also moves in the smaller pop up window, see here: [URL]
So I have that working and I have the mp3 working, but I need to put both togther and cross over the flash local connection script and incorporate into the mp3 script.
What is the best way for me to send script information, I don't want to flood the thread with AS. You can download the flash lconnection files and the mp3 player from here!

Ok, I have looked around and I know that this question has been asked many times but I still dont understand. I am developing an ROI calculator and need to acomplish two things, i think one will fix the other but here goes. 1. I need to make sure that when a user inputs their number in the input text field if they us a comma I dont get the NaN as a return. 2. How can I incorporate commas into the final calculation answer. For example if they enter 10000 my net result currently comes back as 105600. I would like it to come back as 105,600. I dont necessarly need to format as currency to make this work.
I am using CS5 and AS3 for the coding on this. I am not very expierenced in coding in Flash, as a matter of fact the fact that I have made it this far is amazing.
Here is my current code:
stop();
CalcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, FindTotal);
function formatNumbers(num:Number, comma:Boolean):String {
[Code]....
I have looked at other suggestions and plugged them in with no luck.

I have a flash ad on my site that cycles through about about 8-10 products each with their own buy button that adds the item to the shopping cart and takes them to the shopping cart page. What I want to do is create some kind of counter or tracker that keeps track of how many times each product was clicked on. I would prefer an external file to be generated and updated per new click. Is this possible?

how can i make a button respond to mouse release and/or Enter key release, depending on user input.. when I press Enter, I would like to have the button(s) behave in the same way as if I was clicking it with the mouse, possibly incorporating the separate graphic stages of the button (appearance of button down when clicked with mouse = appearance of button while Enter key is down, etc.) ... and am also curious as to how you can tab between buttons then just press enter to deploy it... i know how to make a button react to button.onRelease and somewhat to the Enter key... separately.. but not as a combined package

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.

Is there a template or plug in that anyone is aware of that is written in Flash 8 that keeps track ("bookmark of sort") of where a user left off on a .swf or .htm tutorial that includes: The user must be able to leave a .swf or .htm tutorial and return to it later if necessary, "bookmark" their place - it does not have to be completed at one sitting.For reference and viewing purposes, the user must be able to go back into the .swf or .htm tutorial once successfully completing it.The .swf or .htm tutorials must have a mechanism for keeping track of user progress and completion. It must provide reports on user status and who has successfully completed the tutorial.
