ActionScript 3.0 :: RSS / XML Feeds Don't Display In Published Swf
Jun 24, 2010
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:
Actionscript Code:
<cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="www.dongarber.com"/><allow-access-from domain="dongarber.com"/></cross-domain-policy>
And, the URL I use to connect to eBay's api is:
"http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?FeedName=SearchResults&dfsp=32&from=R6&nojs pr=y&output=RSS20&saaff=afepn&siteId=0&afepn=53358 27058&customid=flashfinalprojectRSSFeed&satitle="+searchTermBox.text+"&saprclo="+minAmt.text+"&saprchi="+maxAmt.text+"&fbfmt=1&sabfmts=0&sascs=0&fsop=33&fsoo=2";
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 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 );

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.....
added security code in flash
1st method:flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
flash.system.Security.loadPolicyFile("");
2nd method:added the crossdomain.xml policy file from twitter website.
3rd method:followed any of the above methods along with changing the "Access network only" in publish settings.

I have tried to develop my first flash project using Actionscript 3.0. When I "Publish Preview" (HTML - Default, Flash and HTML) in Flash CS5 Pro, the project seems to work just fine. However, when I actually publish the project the html with the swf file does not display correctly. The flash file is suppose to show a video with a video control skin (play, pause etc.) beneath the video. On the video I have tried to embed a button at the bottom of the display that, when clicked, takes the user to a webpage.
The flash file is suppose to look like the one at: [URL]. This is just an image of the "Publish Preview" output.
What I get with the published html and swf file is at: [URL]. Just the button displays???
My fla file is at: [URL]

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>";

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.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}package {

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 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 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.

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));

I need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.
I am using flex 4.5.

I am streaming to live videos with audio to our webpage, each with it's own accompanying audio. On my laptop, I could stream them without any trouble but it would overheat so I had two new computers built just for encoding. Now, on the new computers, the 2 videos stream fine but only on audio file works at a time. The other just gets hung up on one note of sound and repeats very annoyingly over and over.

*Can two CS4's produce different published .swf from the same fileset?I have a flash suite written by a young man in China.When I test the .swf file in the suite it works fine.However I need to make some minor redesigns so I need to change the .fla file - but before I do I found that when I publish a new .swf from the .fla file (with all the necessary action scripts/xml etc in the right place) it doesn't produce the same outcome. Instead the navigation (next page, items per page etc) is missing.
When he does the same thing (I trust his integrity) he gets the new .swf with the navigation in tact.You can see the two outcomes at the web address below (mock data).There are no code changes, no library changes that I can find.So I thought maybe there is something about different settings or 'environments' that can affect the outcome?
