ActionScript 3.0 :: Integrating XML Into Flash Animation?
Jan 19, 2012
i have a basic movie clip in flash, inside the movie clip is some text and i was wondering wether it would be possible to change the text using xml meaning the .FLA file doesn't even need to be opened. Obviously i've tried researching this but decent information on xml/flash integration seems to be pretty hard to find.: I know there's a lot of pro's here at kirupa, so if you know much about flash/xml integration
i have this ongoing thing with thumbs being loaded via xml in a forloop.
I have white backgrounds behind every thumb. Now I want some movement with the backgrounds easing in to their positions.
function ScreenprintsLoad(screenprints_xml) { var screenprintsThumbs = screenprints_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes; maincontent.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",1);
[Code].....
how would I start this, I have a simple AS ease function that I could put in. Im just confused how to integrate it into this loop. Also how would I have the thumbs consecutively tween in?
I have successfully created a VB6 app that loads a swf movie. However the loaded movie is a preloader that subsequently loads another swf using loadMovieNum() which no longer appears to work. Does anyone know why this might be? I am using the Flash.ocx and specifying files that exist in the same directory by name only but have tried fully qualified paths as well.
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.
i am creating a dynamic site that pulls all of its content from and access database. i would like to make the entire page in flash. i have never used flash to pull any content from a datbase before.i can only seem to find tutorials for flash 8 or flash 5,nothing for mx2004.
I must integrate a .jar file into a flash project. The project is like this: There'll be a flash video player for a Web Browser with Play, Pause, Stop commands. I must use voice commands to trigger the player actions. I have a .jar that makes the voice recognition so I want to integrate this file with my Flash Player.Is this possible?
P.S.: You may wonder why I don't use other tools, but it's a project for University with given materials, so I really need to use Flash + this given .jar .
i have some problems in integrating with my own flash. 1st of all.. let me define the key things
1st step.. the flash will detect the xml. 2nd, it detect whether if it has people on air on the studio or not refer to the time. 3rd, if its between the [timeid] range ( 0-7) it has a slot but either has a dj or not, if the timeid = 8 , no slot and no deejays here is my core part of problem..
the flash will show the slot language pics background = MC ( session ), the slot name = dynamic text area ( slonem ), and who's the deejays = dynamic text area (djnem), of the current time, if there's no one on air or no slot , the pics background = MC ( session ) will show music only.
i'll include also my xml file and my dummy file for this thing.. also iincluded is the original schedule that working properly.. the original schedule and the dummy is basically different just they read from same xml file..
i just learn xml just a few months back then also with action script with help from my roomate [URL]..

how to use a CSS file in a flash project.Unfortunately every time I get to the end of the instructions.I'm making a simple flash slideshow for a web site.It has three buttons at the bottom, numbered 1 - 3. the web site I'm building this for is already up and running, and has a CSS file implemented.I want to apply that CSS to the three buttons at the bottom.The numbers are never going to change, but I want the font face to be congruent with the rest of the site.I'm assuming the best way to handle future compatibility is to link it up with that CSS file.So far I have the numbers, and the text is set to dynamic, each number has an instance name.Or a link if it has been covered in an introductory level and my searches failed me.
I am building this application. I have a psd file withe a few layers in it. Now I need certian actions to be performed in flash on events occuring on the layers of the psd file that involve retrieving data from a database.
From what i have googled out so far, it seems that we will have to host the flash file(swf) in a website and load the html page in the application in a webview... Is'nt there any other way to do it ?? Is there any library or something to integrate them ? Flash lite ?
I'm developing a game and want to integrate some animations, I've thought about making them in Flash and integrating in Android, is it possible in general? If yes, does it make sense? How will it look in terms of user experience, performance and app size? What are other ways to create game animations in Android?

Have 3 flash games that I would like to integrate in a menu / list in an android app. So when the user selects the game from the list, the game starts with android flash player. Is it best to do this with WebView or is there something better? I do not know where to place the flash games to get them in my compiled application.
I recently I followed this great guide to integrate the subversion revision into exe/dll files generated from my c++/c# visual studio projects. Now I can easily right-click on an exe-file to find which revision was used to build the binary (see image below). I love this feature.
Is this possible to do the same in flash/flex when building air/stand-alone applications? I would like to tag both exe file and dlls.
Update with solution: Although the ANT-based solutions provided here aren't as smooth as the one where the svn info is burnt into .exe/.dll files (in my opinion), it has solved my problem and is now implemented in our productions. My setup is based both on Kevin's and frankhermes's answeres but uses SubMCRev.exe instead of svn.exe or jar files. In our implementation we dump the svn revision to the logfile at startup. The output from the SVN target below looks like this: Built with SVN Revision: 1.0.0.1181 (local modifications found)
I am working on a existing Flash project (a Flash based game), where I need to integrate social login widget Gigya. I researched and finalized using Adobe Flash Platform Services Social. The problem is, I successfully integrated that in a test Flash file that I initially prepared. But when I integrate it in the source file of my actual Flash project, I get following error:[code]in my code, but it works in my initial test Flash (a minimal file with 2 frames and no extra components), but does not seem to be working for my actual game Flash.
I'm looking to be able to run some actionscript 3 in the background to handle some audio and build a javascript front-end. I heard that you can simply compile actionscript 3 and run it using the flex framework
How would I go about integrating FMS 3.5 with IIS so that IIS would serve the same purpose that Apache would if I had chosen to install it upon installation of FMS 3.5? More specifically, what purpose does the Apache install that you're prompted to install along with FMS 3.5 serve? If I don't install Apache along with FMS am I losing some sort of functionality that I should implement in IIS instead?
I am trying to learn Flex and Actionscript. I found the Moock quiz example in Flash and want to turn it into a Flex application. I am trying to understand the relationship between the actionscript and the mxml. How do I take the class QuizApp and place its contents in a container in the mxml file?
MXML
<fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import QuizApp; var ms:QuizApp = new QuizApp;
I am trying to use the IOS in-app native extension, which is found at [URL], and I have linked the SWC with my flash project... The problem I am having is that all of the usage code talks about integrating with a Flex project rather then an FLA - does anyone know if it is possible to port this extension for use with a flash project?
I have a server api wirtten in Java and client side written in flex and I am trying to configure them together using GraniteDS. However, when trying to add this line:
<graniteds:flex-filter url-pattern="/*"/>
to the ApplicationContext.xml - then when trying to deploy my webapp (via glassfish) to a server i get this error:
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 86 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/commonContext.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'graniteds:flex-filter'.
I would like to integrate facebook in my actionscript application. I am using facebook actionscript api available from URL...I would like to know if there is any way to creating custom login dialog rather than using the default facebook login dialog as i want the user to just sign in to facebook rather than exploring the other fields like "Sign up" and "Forgot password"I cant use the current api as websites use it for logging to facebook. It is open to sign ups exploring other languages.I would like to prevent the whole thing by customizing the login dialog. Does facebook provide something for that? Or can it be done it in any way?
I have a little video showing a text animation on a black background. The alpha channel is encoded. I want to integrate that video under flash but I want the alpha channel to be taken into account and I don't know how I can do that. After integrating the video, I get always that black background, how can I remove it?
This is a bit "off base," but I thought someone here may be able to help. I am working on some interactive animations for an upcoming meeting. Ideally, I would love to be able to have an interactive slide within powerpoint, however don't think that is even possible.
That being said, I would like to place a link within a powerpoint presentation, so that when you click it, it launches a browser window and displays the .swf preferably not online, just within a browser window.
Currently, when I try this, it is trying to open up flash to read the .swf, anyone have any experience with something like this?
Does anyone know if it's possible to integrate the ToushSmart's virtual keyboard with an Adobe AIR application? In most programs (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc), when a user touches a text field a little keyboard icon automatically pops up which, when pressed, will bring up the virtual keyboard. However, this doesn't happen when clicking on text input fields in Adobe AIR applications.
Has anyone had any experience working with AIR/Flash and touchscreens? Is there any API that can tell Windows (or the HP virtual keyboard specifically) that the user has clicked in a text field and that the virtual keyboard should be shown? The text fields are the standard kind (fl.controls.TextInput).
I am making a flash website and I am implementing a fluid layout. In the website I made a drawing program that is supposed to move along with the rest of the elements of the website when the window is resized. Now the problem is not the drawing program itself, ive got that working very well, the problem is when the canvas movieClip onto which the painting is being done is moved when the window is resized, the movie clip does not stay on centre, and the drawing is displaced outside the canvas movieClip and no longer happens on the mouse X and Y.For the sake of simplicity I made a simplified version of the drawing program with the fluid layout code and drawing code. No point in going through 200 lines of code when the problem lies within 10 lines of code.[code]The pink box is the canvas the user is able to draw on. The grey box is used to test the fluid layout code and to give coordinates for the pink box. When the file first loads both the pink and grey boxes are side by side, during the resize event they should stay side by side, however they do not.
I have a six minute video loading into my flash project. It is too large to import directly into the timeline. I want to display graphics and text underneath at key points and have considered using a timer to tell the graphics when to become in/visible. I'm sure there is a bettere way of doing it than the code I have below, as the timer will start on frame enter won't it and if the video takes a while to load the timer will be out of sync. I'm guessing I should be preloading the video anyway but not quite sure how to do it.
Code: var timer:Timer = new Timer(15000, 1); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah); timer.start(); var timer2:Timer = new Timer(20000, 1); timer2.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah2); [Code] .....
How can I get my Adobe Flex applications to seamlessly integrate with HTML pages? That is, I want Flex to: Not take up the entire page (make it any size page element I want). Talk back to the JavaScript on the page (further linking the Flash application with the HTML page).
