ActionScript 3.0 :: Project Advice Related To Interactive Chart?
Jul 29, 2010
I am having a hard time concepting how to structure the current project I have been tasked with. I wanted to make this dynamic, as its for a school that will add or change course sequences. I was thinking of having several movie clips, with one movie clip class that loads in xml information, but then the problem is how can i keep track of the other movie clips and animate precisely one course to another while being interactive?
I know that I could simply draw everything up in a movieclip within flash, but I thought there could be a way to go through an xml file, look at how many <class></class> tags their were, create movieclips based on how many of those are present and pass the xml information within the class to display to the user. I need to use a tree structure, with the user being able to click to each node along the tree and recall the information, when they click I need something visually interesting to happen between the 2 nodes.
So in my mind I am thinking
1.) document class,
2.) reusable movieclip class (card template, with text objects)
3.) a class that takes the xml and passes it to the movieclip??
Its one thing to want interactivity and draw everything, but to make it dynamic to be easily updatable. Is there a way to put a tween in a class to reuse and precisely where to play?
I am trying to create an interactive org chart for a customer. When you click on a box, I need it expand as a drop-down, but I would like create it such that if the user clciks on another box, the previous box animates back to the closed position before the new one opens.
here's what I need to do: I need to have a pie that is not 100% complete circle, like a pacman facing north. That area is static and represents a data range from 0.00 to 1200.00. I need to have another slice over it that dynamically reflects input data from 0.00 to 1200.00. In the example below I have the static max. data range as blue and the dynamic data range as orange showing a data input of 6.70:
All I find online is pie charts that are full circles and use percentages instead of numerical data.Attached is a test.fla (CS3 format) with the above shapes.
My company have a web application product for distribution planning and scheduling. An important part of it is a gantt chart component where user can fine tune the schedules. Currently the gantt chart component is pure javascript+dhtml.I am currently looking into the possibility of moving to Flex to get richer interactivity and generally nicer UI.
The question is: is there any good interactive gantt chart component for Flex?By "interactive" I mean that user can interact with the gantt chart and modify data using it, as opposed to just seeing it as part of a reporting use case.
I am creating a project which involves the visualisation of signals and timeline, so I am looking for a charting program which allows me to zoom in and zoom out and with additional functionality e.g. drag and drop or highlight the area.
I have no preference whether it should be WinForms or Web apps, and I am fine to program in either Flash or Silverlight. So I would like to see if you guys can recommend some tools for use.
Making a chart in Flex with multiple series and a chart legend which is an interactive legend where upon selecting an item in the legend (which corresponds with a series in the chart) that specific series in the chart will slideDown or Up depending on whether it was just de-selected from the legend or re-selected. m
I am trying to draw a simple bar chart for our interactive annual, and I thought i would try to learn how to use the api drawing tools, but I can't seem to get it to draw more than one line successfully.below is what I was using for one, but how do I tell it to draw more lines that are different colors? I attached a screen shot of what I want it to look like.
I am not exactly new to Flash in that I can do several things with it. However, I am not anywhere near expert status. I am working on an interactive map of a college campus for my employer. I am employing buttons that, when moused over, display a large image of each campus building. The question is this: is there a way to also have maybe an actionscript that would center that image automatically?
In other words, if the building I want to show is on the right hand side of an internet explorer window and I mouse over it, is there a way to have the map auto scroll the window to center the image that pops up on mouse over?
I want to use Open Flash Chart in Flex3/AS3 project?
I mean,How Can I use Open-flash-chart in Flex application client side.. ??? (I use FlashDevelop)
Can i do that by just adding .swf file?? If yes? then where to add? I am not using FlexBuilder, I am using FlashDevelop OR Command line for compiling..
Or I have to add .swc file.. ??? If yes, then how to generate one for open flash chart..???
I have been asked to create an interactive flash project where the user would be able to click on a main image and depending on what part of the image they click on, a movie clip plays, then goes back to the main image.
I am sure this is basic, but I have been researching, watching tutorials, etc for a week now and can't seem to get it to work. I am by no means a Flash expert and have really never worked in it. I do more Photoshop and Illustrator-type work. So Actionscript is new to me and really the whole interface is as well.
Would you all be kind enough to help me out? I am going to need some detailed explaination.
just a simple question...i want to create a project that is interactive so when a user takes an object that contains a number and drags it over another object that contains another number, i want it to perform a calculation...can i accomplish this with actionscript?
I need to find out how to layout my bitrates and widths in a way that will:make the switching between to levels (video qualities) as smooth as possible.support a wide range of bw (bandwidth). User with large bw should be fed with a high quality vid and users with low bw should be fed with a low quality vid.support both player widths: 416x240px and 640x340px without doing two different bitrate/with layouts. I have tested the following bitrate/width layot:Q5-Q8 is ment for fullscreen view, Q1-Q2 is ment for our small player and Q3-Q4 is ment for our large player.It works but I'm far from sure that it is the optimal layout. For instance, is it a problem that to videos with different widths have the same bitrate settings or bitrates that lay close to one another?As far as i know, the player (JW Player) will not choose a video that is more than 20% wider than the players width.
we are doing a seamless interactive video-game-video project, but are having optimization problems. Because the client wants a full-screen option for both the video and game segments, our file size is too big. Any advice on how to minimize load time yet retain a relatively high-quality image standard? The h.264 codec would help with image quality, but there are licensing issues, and we need the transperent alpha channel for the video segments.
I'm trying to prevent a default chart item roll over highlight in a Spark column chart.If you look at any of the chart examples on this page , when you roll over any of the chart series items, they turn a darkened shade of their original colour. This is what I want to prevent.
So far I have had no luck with using the itemRollOverColor property, as this only allows you to set it to one specific colour for the whole chart (my app has several different coloured series on the chart at once). Also, trying to leverage the itemRollOver event (with preventDefault() etc) hasn't worked either.
How can I Create an animated Bar Chart or Line Chart type of component in flash programmatically, which should depends upon an incoming XML data, the chart should have the basic criteria like, Chart Label, Item Tooltips, background grids (without using any image). There also needs an ability to change the data which should reflect the chart as well.
I'm trying to make chart which is combination of bar and line chart using Flex Charting API . Here x axis would be common and y axis would be different. note that y axis got different range of value one is % and other is amount. Any one got idea how to make this chart. Here line chart would be staked on top of bar chart . The line chart and never over laid or drawn on top of bar chart.
I cant "center" my project, like you can see its "fixed" (yellow lines) in the left side and I cant see "invisible" part of project... (area around the project). how can I move my project so I can see the not-project area around the project. (picture 2).
At the moment situation... (cant see that area around the project) http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1186/68553623.png

I am working on this one project that has a couple of movieclips (already placed on stage) which have a custom class set to export via the Library. Each of those custom classes loads an external SWF using URLRequest().
Is it possible (or, what is the best way) to preload the whole project first, including the external SWFs?
I just wanted to ask if I have a project created in authorware and one more in director.I just wanted to ask can we convert authorware project in flash directly or indirectly?Or can we import authorware project and/or director project in flash.does anybody know or anybody has done this b4???
With parent artifactId of swf, swc, war set to swf, swc, test respectively.On executing mvn on test folder(for that matter clean or anything) I get this following error.

What I would like to do is to use ASP.NET impersonation to authenticate a Flash app as a user in IIS so that the file dependencies related to the flash file ( XML config files, and PHP API calls ) are not anonymously accessible when users try to access them directly through the URL. So, instead of displaying the contents of an XML config file, it should tell the unauthenticated user they do not have permission to view the file.
Is this possible? Right now I'm looking into request headers and the settings in IIS for authentication.
So I found out how to use Basic Authentication through help posted here. The problem I'm running into is that even though the flash app sends the appropriate request. Which is handled fine in FF, Chrome, and Safari. It still displays the login pop-up box for Opera and IE. Does anyone know why IE and Opera behave differently with Basic Authentication?
