ActionScript 3.0 :: RSS Feeds - How To Display In Scroll Box
Dec 4, 2009
I am new at Flash and I put together this code (below) it's for an RSS Feed which seems to be working fine, however, I would like to have it display in a scroll box and I can't seem to find the way to do it. I need to create several widgets and once I learn how to create the first one I will be able to design them the way I need them.
Code: Select allvar holder:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(holder);
init();
function init():void{
var urlLoader : URLLoader = new URLLoader ();
urlLoader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, OnRSSLoaded, false, 0, true );

For my class' final project, I created a little eBay search tool platform. It
1) performs a search (and the link generates affiliate coding so commissions would result if an eBay affiliate used this application on their website),
2) it shows a few eBay-related news feeds, and
3) it shows some beginner's videos showing how to buy on eBay.
Playing the swf as a movie on the desktop, within Flash, works fine.However, since I've published the swf into a webpage, the search function and one of the RSS feeds do not work. My application is at: [URL]I've read about crossdomain policy issues, but I'm stumped about that. Using FireBug, I see an error message:"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - [URL]This is the domain where I'm calling the RSS feed. Because this domain does NOT have a crossdomain.xml policy in place, does that mean that no matter what I do, I'll never be able to draw from it? I've set up a crossdomain.xml file in my website's root and it consists solely of:
This works when I cut and paste a sample URL into the browser, say, when I substitute a search term minAmt and maxAmt into that gobbledegook. The search never returns anything when this app lives on a published html page...
I am trying to make a very simple rss reader to display news feeds. All I really want to do is have a text box display the first item of the feed, wait for a moment, then display the next one. I've been searching around and can't find any decent tutorials on the subject.
I want to pull in data from a rss / atom feed into flash and show a movieclip everytime the feed is updated. Most tutorials I find are about displaying the information. I want real time movieclips to display if and when the rss / atom feed is updated without any of the information from the actual feed displayed.
I have developed a twitter API in Flash Professional CS4. It works fine when it plays in the flash player locally. But when I publish the file and play it in a browser it asks for settings to be modified. Since those were the local settings I have modified them and played the file in browser and it worked fine. when I upload the file to server and embed the swf into a html file and try to play it from the server nothing happens. The API doesn't load the feeds from twitter site. The display is always blank.Possible solutions I have tried.....
I have a file uploader that uses a file reference list (FRL) to upload files. However what I want to do is use the FRL to display all the images/files that were selected and then display them in either a list, or photo gallery. I would lean more towards the photo gallery approach but I don't know how to dynamically lay out the thumbnails properly. What's the best way to display the thumbnails in rows 3 pictures wide and then skip down a line etc.
Now ofcourse I don't know how many files will be selected so my next question would be can I draw the thumbnail gallery in a seperate container (or frame sort of like in VB) and then have that container have it's own scroll bars? In most other programming languages I would have no problem doing this but I am a bit new to flash and I am a bit stumped.
I have an Advanceddatagrid that has its variableRowHeight property set to true. I need this AdvancedDataGrid to have its verticalScrollBarPolicy "off" also.
How can I show all rows in that AdvancedADataGrid? (Need to set its height in a so manner that it will be visible all its rows).
I've a CD presentation using flash and XML. The CD includes a search facility. The search and rest of the things are ok but the problem that the result comes along with the picture that is reading from XML file. Sometimes the result contains more that one person's details with photographs. So scrolling the content area is necessary. I've tried to display both, the pciture and result (text) but the scroll bar component doesn't support picture. <img> tag i've tried but no result. Is there any other option for display the image and text withing a scrolling area.
I recently wrote a small script to display an endless scroll for 360 degree images. The image is loaded dinamically so I can use it as a viewer for all the 360 degree images in the site's gallery. It works fine, but I found one image that appears truncated even though everything else works as expected. I found this [URL] that says: The maximum image size of a Flash 2 movie is 2880 x 2880 pixels The image that is giving me this problem is larger than that and it seems to be cut at 2880px widht. Can anyone confirm this? And if so, is there any way to override it since I'm using pure as? Despite the years working with flash, I keep finding these nasty surprises. Last time I learned about the 16,000 frame limit when working on a cd presentation... I wonder what's next.
I made a flash website with photo galleries using a component that I bought online. The component is loading the image in a thumbnail scroll bar via a XML file and the full size image display in a UILoader. So far nothing special. But when I reach a certain amount of pictures in the gallery, the scroll panel get stuck while loading and doesn't display the full size image. Then the thumbnails don't react at all.
I'm working with different flash movies for a client. she has several flash movies playing back to back as advertisement for different retailers. Now she wants me to add Rss Feeds for local weather on the flash movies. Now i never done this before and I'm not really that familiar with AS. I've also googled for the past hours and kept finding how to add Rss feeds to flash WEBSITES not MOVIES (.swf).
I've been putting together a script to parse twitter feeds via xml, add the html code to link any hyperlinks in the post and throw each resulting post into one of two textareas (box0 & box1). Unfortunatly it is printing all 3 (the amount so far posted) posts into each text box. How to fix this code to a) put 1 post per box and b) limit the amount of posts it pulls from the xml
Code: function checkWord(word:String):String { if(word.indexOf("http:") == 0) { // This word starts with "http:" at index 0 (the beginning of the word) // Wrap it in html href (anchor) tags: return "<a href='" + word + "'>" + word + "</a>"; [Code] .....
I'm parsing an RSS feed successfully using the RSS Viewer Example. The output text/links is good, but the images don't seem to get parsed. I've tried several other RSS scrpts with similar results: text/titles/links but but no images, as well as other feeds sites like CNN and Google, and NASA.
I'm using URLLoader to parse XML feeds in my flex project, problem is matching/detect loaded feed in Evevent.COMPLETE,I don't know how to pass id or variable or object tag through URLloader.When loading images this is solved by using name property in Loader, but Loader didn't work for XML[code]...
I have an RSS feed that is being read into dynamic text fields. The content of the RSS feed needs to be updated like every minute or every half minute, as there are constantly new items in the feed. Is there a way in ActionScript to reload the feed in interval times, or maybe reload the whole script?
i am using flash 8 with as2.can flash read and parse rss feeds? if it can can someone show me an example. Also can flash load an html page into an movie clip?

I am trying to figure out how to parse a Flickr RSS feed to feed it into a swf to make a pretty flash interface for my photoblog. I am thinking it would be ideal if the image url was in its own element, and the description for the image was in a sibling element. However this is not the case. The problem I am running into is that the image for each post is in the same element as the description (in the content element). The image is simply wrapped by a normal html img tag. Does anyone know how I would pull the image url out of the description during parsing so that I could feed them into flash elements on the stage (one mc for image, another mc with a dynamic text box for the image description)?[code]
I have some difficulties with a project that i am doing. The project fetch text from twitter due to a keyword i have set up(for example KW= i feel like a teenage boy). Can i apply CSS style to this text due to is live feed?
Here is the actual code: box=button---------------replace_txt=dynamic text where twitt feeds appear var lyricsLength:Number = 250;//Trim lyrics to a max number of characters
I created a flash application that is dynamically displaying xml feeds from content partners. This flash application has a black background and will be called and displayed from the C# windows application. The issue is sometimes when our application loads the flash swf file, the background color turns white so the text being displayed are not readable anymore since they are white. This intermittent and I am using flash cs 5 actionscript 3. Before I was relying on the stage background but after I saw the issue, I already used a solid background container like (vector, png, gif, or jpeg).
I want to build a Flash app that displays content from various RSS and XML feeds.Rather than import the whole data from the different feeds straight from the url into Flash (which would take forever anyway) I'm thinking of using a MySQL database to first import the numerous data feeds and then in Flash call a server side script to retreive only the data I need.
This way only data requested is loaded into flash, which is a requirement since I intend to make the flash app available on mobiles as a flashlite app - it keeps the app light and not demanding on network traffic which will ultimately cost money.
I will need to run the import periodically, perhaps once per hour.I'm not interested in building up an archive of the data since it is time specific and will be out of date, so I intend to clear out data as it expires, perhaps with a daily script.
I'm creating a small widget for a client which will read different rss feeds. It works for first feed but when I click for another one it doesn't load. I traced and it shows me only 2 loops even there are 10 or 12 news.
The situation is, this resize code has always worked for me because I was using local images. I am now using a third party admin which feeds images through an application/octet-stream.
Whereas previously, I was loading the image with the Loader::load method but I am currently using the Loader::loadBytes to load the binary data because I am being fed a stream instead of an image/jpeg.
By switching to the stream, the code now fails to get past this line:
resizedImageData.copyPixels(e.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).bitmapData, cropRect, new Point(0, 0));
