I desperatly need to work out the best way to create a tagcloud type system in flash. However I want the actual positioningto be much tighter than traditional tag clouds. So it looks bettertypographically. My brain has got me to the point where i know ineed to make a system that detects each elements width and heightand place others around it, (wahoo for me:)). But i'm simply not

I need a Flash Tag Cloud via XML. I did find one but its a 3D Cumulus. Do you know one in 2D or do you have some hints for me how to make it. In addition it has to resize if new tags are added.
View 1 RepliesThere is such a wonderful source http[url]....but it does not get integrated into Flex. Are there other examples of an animated tag cloud?
View 1 RepliesI am about to develop my masters project using Flex as front end, BlazeDs, Java Web Services and MongoDB in the backend. I am looking to deploy and manage it on a cloud. (The application analyzes financial data from various sources, I will need to query multiple endpoints for news articles and DB for processing)
It is my experiment to usage of cloud rather than deploying on my local for demo and presentation purposes.
I saw heroku (http://www.heroku.com/), but I am not sure if it allows flash.
Please suggest a cloud application platform which allows Flex, BlazeDs, Java Web Services and MongoDB?
Any work flow to allow a Flash swf to be compiled by a web server. I would like to create an app that allows me to inject some code into a swf file and publish the output. Basically the user logs into a website sets up some properties, hits publish, and then downloads the app as a swf file. So the part that is stumping me is that I need one file. Compiling or editing would have to happen on the web server since I need to avoid separate resource or data config type files. The user must be able to download one complete SWF file only.
My thoughts were that maybe... Inject some code or variables into a SWF after it has been compiled from a FLA to SWF? somehow parse and rewrite the swf file on the server. An open source complier that can sit on the web server, or a javascript app that could compile a FLA to SWF? A way to complile a FLA to a SWF by using another Flash SWF? A homebrew web server that runs a command line compiler of the FLA script on demand. HaXe, MTASC, Adobe AIR? Any high level workflow that might work??
I'm trying to adapt Roy Tanck's excellent WP-Cumulus Word/Tag Cloud plugin for a project and am getting hung up on a bit of script, which I'm sure _should_ be easy.The Tag Cloud normally draws in an XML document, extracts the tag words and URL's, and maps them to a cool interactive sphere. For this project we can't use an external XML file, so I have to make a kind of default list inside the script when it runs.Here's where the loading part happens:
=======================
// load the data
if( _root.tagcloud == undefined ){[code]...........
I am making a cloud background continuously loop using actionscript, however the image cuts itself off. I was following the tutorial at: [URL]. I attached a picture of what it looks like. Here's my code(very similar to above websites code)
Code:
animator = createEmptyMovieClip('animator',1);
bg_1 = animator.attachMovie('cloudsMC','bg_1',1);
bg_2 = animator.attachMovie('cloudsMC','bg_2',2);
bg_1._x = -bg_1._width/2;
bg_2._x = bg_2._width/2;
[Code] .....
This code is all in a movieclip named bg_mc. The width of cloudsMC is 1500 px. Why the image cuts off as it scrolls to the left?
After adding a floating cloud layer on top of the map all the elements below the cloud layer are inaccessible as the cloud layer is the only object getting mouse events.Is there a way to to tell flash to ignore the cloud layer for purposes of interaction?
View 3 Replieshow to create a custom player that would stream a list of youtube videos along with soundcloud, and MP3 similar to the one on [url]....I know that this might seem like quite a general question but any direction on how to accomplish this and whether it should be done using flash and Youtube API, and sound cloud API or whether it should be done with some sort of flash audio ripping way.

I want to display all the tags that returned from server and if anyone clicks on any tag, i would like to display all the blogs which having the tag.
Actually i am able to create tag cloud click-able. But its click-able only when i give h ref like [URL]. But i don want to give direct URL in href. If i use "#" instead of whole URL, then the tag cloud becomes non-click-able.
Do we have any other option to make the link click-able without giving whole URL.
how to get that <a> element in javascript or jquery, when it clicked.
I want to have a "tag cloud" equivalent in as3 : buttons populate the screen randomly, but WITHOUT overlapping...
- any number of buttons
- any screen w or h...
- any button width (dynamic text inside)...
I can figure out the x,y placement inside the screen, what I can't is how to have them not overlapping... and have the distance between the buttons relative to the screen w and h.
