I'm using FlepStudio's RSS Flash widget to provide a feed from a blog. Whilst I have everything working properly i'm having problems customizing it. I want to alter the size of the feed titles and 'read more' text which is addressed in AS as title_txt. I have tried both changing the font settings in the main.fla and tweaking the variables for title_txt in the .as to no avail.
View 2 RepliesAre you able to customize the UIScrollbar component in Flash CS4?
View 2 RepliesI've purchased a flash template with an xml file that gives the path to the content to the .swf. This much i know! Also, I have all the source files! My issue is i would like to replace some of the images with video clips.
Here is the flash site (demo stock version) : http://oliviersaut.com/site_flash/[/URL]Here is the original version of the xml file: http://oliviersaut.com/site_flash/tfile_main.xml
As you can see with the flash site there are 4 sides, i would like to add videos thumbs (these i can make screen shots) on the left hand side that says "BEDROOM". Then once you've clicked the video thumb the video is displayed in the middle like the photos. Do i have to alter the original .FLA file to add .mov or other video formats into the center area that displays the full image of the small thumbs? the size is 788px by 524px.
Furthermore, Scrolling half way down the xml page you will find [I]<page name="GALLERY">[/I] and then <image imageUrl="_pic3.jpg" link="http://www.yourcompany.com"/> is there xml code that i can add to put in the video?
Also, here i can change the photos but it seems only in this exact order. If i remove a line or add more photos to the sequence the order does not correspond when i refresh the .swf file.
PS. I've also attached the xml file to this post.
I recently completed a tutorial on Adobe's web site on how to create pop-up browser windows through Flash using the getURL/navigateToURL with JavaScript method. The tutorial works great, however, there are a few tweaks I'd like to make, and I'm sure not sure how to go about doing them. The tutorial shows how to make a pop up without scrollbars or the toolbar, but I'd also like the location bar, menubar, and status bar to disappear as well.

how to go about customizing the title bar of a swf or exe published out of Flash. Instead of it saying "Macromedia Player 6" I would like to have my own icon and the title bar read "My Movie"? I have seen it done but can't seem to find anything in the help files of MX on how to do this.

View 2 RepliesI have my scrollpane all set up and ready to go, but I would really like to set the scrollbar to a specific height--one much smaller than the scrollpane. I'm using as3 in cs3. The name of my scrollpane is "scrollpaneabout."
import fl.containers.BaseScrollPane;
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
import fl.controls.ScrollBar;
scrollpaneabout.source = scrollcontentabout;
scrollpaneabout.setSize(570,260)
scrollpaneabout.addEventListener(Event.ADDED,spCom plete);
function spComplete(event:Event):void {
scrollpaneabout.verticalScrollBar.x=-54.5;
scrollpaneabout.verticalScrollBar.height=80;
scrollpaneabout.verticalScrollBar.y=50;
}
However, the height property has no effect.
I'm trying to find a clear and concise book or online referece that can assist me in customizing the components that come with FMX04.Namely the label component. I know how to change the "halo" theme in general to get the buttons and text boxes to change color, but beyond that I am at a lost.
I have tried Macromedia, searched here/Flash Kit/google, but nothing that I can learn from. Live Docs has a feedback part where someone posted some code and while I can cut and paste it, I'm not completely sure how it all worked.

I used the "Kirupa xml slide show" for AS2, and added a fake zoom effect, where I actually on click swap the image for the larger version of the same image that visitor can drag around and inspect upclose. One last thing that doesn't work is that when initially the page loads, the larger image in the background shows up behind the smaller one, and I want it turned off. Once you start clicking, the two images hide and reveal perfectly, but not at first. [URL]

View 1 RepliesHow to change the font and overall look of a combobox in Flash / ActionScript 3? Are there theme files I could download, or a script I can use? I am relatively familiar with AS3 / Flash, but have never needed to skin a combobox till now.
View 4 Repliespull some simple text from an external website's RSS feed into a basic text box in a Flash movie. It would need to be in AS2 to fit with the website. The RSS feed is on a PHP page: [URL]
I understand I need to pull the content via an xml / php page under my own domain in order to get around the Flash security, but I still can't scrape together the right code for it to work.
I made this BlogFeed.swf file. Everything works just fine in Flash IDE. It loads the XML, renders it, displays fine and that's it: the world is filled with love and data.
The problem occurs when I try to use my swf online.
Here's the scenario:
SERVER A (Altervista)
hosts the swf file, trying to read the RSS Feed from...
SERVER B (my client's server)
serves the RSS Feed of his blog
[ things I already tryed ]
1) I wrote a crossdomain.xml file (allowing SERVER B domain to access the swf), place it at the same level of the swf file on SERVER A;
2) Set System.security.allowInsecureDomain("*") in the flash file
3) checked on both servers the server-to-server permissions (Altervista lets you do this via its own control panel; the client's server needed me to email the support: did it and they allowed me to connect)
4) moved the swf on ANOTHER server, on which I am completely sure that server-to-server communications are allowed, since I already did something like that.
Nothing changes: always getting the damn HTTPStatus = 0 and no items are shown.
What I really don't understand is why it does work from Flash IDE connecting to SERVER B and it fails (with NO IOError and HTTPStatus = 0, so no debug hints at all...) when I use it in server-to-server mode.
I got a music player template online and I am having trouble customizing some of the features.

View 3 RepliesI have never looked into RSS feeds before, I now have someone that wants Yahoo rss newsfeed embedded in his main.fla. I have an AS 2.0 rss newsreader he sent to me, knowing nothing about RSS I started to look around and eventually got to a point where I went to a Yahoo RSS feed and copied the source page and dropped it in the xml file that came with the feedreader. When saved, published and uploaded to the server the file displays the feed from yahoo fine, but it never update the stories. I would think this has to do with the xml as it is embedded in the page so it can't change so my question is how do I get an rss feed converted to xml to update???
View 1 RepliesCan you load an RSS Feed onto a web site with only Flash AS3 or do you need something else like flex?
View 1 RepliesI am making a website that needs to read a RSS feed from a blog and then place the information into flash. I have gotten as far as getting the information into flash and viewing it. However I can't get the scrolling functions to work nor do anything else with the feed. The goal is to be able to format the feed in the way that it is online so that it is scrollable but only the most recent post on the feed. Do I have to change how the information is being used in flash to better manipulate it such as xml? Or is is something I've overlooked while using the rss feed code?

At the least, it seems you can stream an RSS feed in Flash (I'm not an advanced user, sorry if thats an obvious question), and since Facebook offers an RSS feed for each profile, I'd imagine I could stream that RSS feed.Is there a "standard" way to stream a Facebook feed in a full flash site? Is it possible at all?
