ActionScript 3.0 :: Project - Install To Run Catalog But The Supportive File Should Not Visible And Edit
Jun 24, 2011
I did Product catalog, it contents intro and supportive files (.swf) how to give non editable file to them. or it should ask to install to run this catalog but the supportive file should not visible and edit.
I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
The Section3.fla file contains the text I need to edit. I notice that the text is visible inside the library:
"/Sprites/sprite 11" file and "/Text/text" 10 file
But when I try to edit the text 10 file I get the message: "This symbol is imported from a Shared Library. If you edit this symbol, it will no longer be imported. Do you want to continue?".
If I click Yes and edit the text and replace the Section3.swf with the new one, the website still shows the old text.
I have a rather complicated scenario that I have never really had to deal with before. I am creating a website that will be hosted on a web-server without PHP support. But I need to call a PHP script that returns a Flash Slideshow.Here is the bit of PHP code that I need to call to return the Flash Slideshow.[code]
I need to create a web product catalog for about 200 items. I am doing this as part of subsite for a large company and long-story short, I need to make this site self contained, without relying on any assistance from their IT department (so no MYSQL, etc.).They already have a catalog of thousands of products, but the purpose of this subsite is to highlight products to a particular market.The catalog would need to have the ability to create a hierarchy, and basic product information (name, description, image, sku number) and an interface for easy updates. No ordering.
I am trying to develop a simple product catalog using flash and xml. The xml file only has a list of catagories and under each a few products. I have a combobox wich list the catagories and another which list the products in that catagory. Each works fine but the products don't change according to the catagory that is selected in the catagory combobox. How do I change this. I use xmlConnector to bind the data to both.
2. When I browse through the products using a loader component sometimes there is flicker and you can see the image before it is resized. This is realy annoying. Should I use a movieclip loader? The images are not all the same size.
I wonder if there is a possibility to load external files to flash, when I know only their source catalog.Normally I'd use xml file with names or write some php script, but is there some way to load those files only with actionscript?
I could not install a release build in Flash Builder 4 using latest release of air installer package:The following is the log of the install in Windows 7
[2011-07-12:12:15:51] Application Installer begin with version 2.7.0.19530 on Windows 7 x86[2011-07-12:12:15:51] Commandline is: C:UsersGeorgeDesktopXX\_XCXCGBGDB.air[2011-07-12:12:15:51] Installed runtime (2.7.0.19530) located at c:Program Files (x86)Common [code]....
I have another application developed in Flex Builder 3 and a release build with the same installer has no problem.
Is there anyway I can run an install file from a flash site. I don't want it to be downloaded first. And if not how do I get the file to be downloaded. Something like the PC format Cd's have, where the programs install directly from the CD.
I apologize in advance -- I am new to Flash. I am triyng to build a Flash object to display images from a catalog. I would like to build something like this. I really just need some advice/direction to get started.Once I know the basics/techniques to be used, I can go from there. Is this some thing that can be done solely in Flash or will I need to use some combination of Flash & Javascript. Right now, I am thinking I can use the loader class to achieve something like this.
I'm just starting to work with XML files in Flash and it's been pretty easy so far. I was just wondering if it's possible to edit the XML file from inside an SWF (or Flash EXE).
Is it possible to edit an SWF file? I'm making a change to a clients webpage but they claim they don't have the orginal .FLA file. Is it possible to edit an .SWF or even unpackage it to an .FLA?
I've recently upgraded to CS4 and the latest version of Flash - I was wondering if it's posssible to open SWF's as .fla files? I'm a complete Novice in Flash even though I've worked as designer over 10 years.
I am wondering the capabilities of the SWF Format. I have some text in a Flash Video, which is an email address (xyz@somewhere.com) which I would like to write a C# application to edit. I have the SWF File Format Spec and was wondering if the following is possible: If I read in the Tag (I am assuming this text is stored as a Static Text Tag, correct me if I am wrong). Once I found the correct tag for my text I then change the value in the tag and save the SWF file.
I was wondering if it was possible to edit an xml on the server side from a web based flex application. When you use XML files in a Flex application and then compile it to upload it in the server, Flex Buidler generates a swf file with the xml data embedded. How should I do to have access to those XML files?
I have developed a small adobe flash application (a parent .exe file which loads several child swf files). I can play it in almost any computer. My question is: Can I install and run the application in Aakash or Ubislate 7+ ?
I have to make a project for school. It will be like a tutorial, but into an application. I already made a part of it in MXML and a bit of action script but I encountered a few problems that are over my newbie limits. So the Flex Builder 2 makes a SFW file, in the main folder of the "project". I want to make that SWF file my main executable file. I have a folder with some pics, and another folder with Action Script Files. The code lvl that I know atm is ABSOLUTE BEGINER... I don know how to make my SWF file have a specific name when I run it.Here is a picture of a training exercices that should make thing more clear:Some people told me that I should use a HexEditor and stuff. Is it ture(what u think?).
Next problem. I dont know how to make the Stage to be fix. I mean.. I dont want the stage to be resizeble. I tryed to change the stagescalemode but that wasn't it. I toke a look at the help files of Flex from the net, about the Resize action and SystemManegment, but I didn't find out what I wantend.
My web designer is no longer working and has left me with a flash file which would benefit from a small edit
The file is made up of a banner which rotates between 3 images. I'd dearly like each of the images to become a link to html files already uploaded to server
The banner can be seen at self catering accommodation belfast dot com
Is it possible to request this on the forum please?
About 10 days ago I purchased a flash template for my photography business. At the time I knew zilch about flash and actionscript, so I wasn't totally aware of what to look for before purchasing it.My problem with the site is that scrolling is terrible, especially on smaller screens. My monitor is 28inches so all the pictures layout fine without having to scroll at all, but then my friends with smaller monitors told me about the scrolling problem, how it just goes straight to the bottom then snaps back to the top. My file directory has a ton of .as files, and I've looked through some of them, and even deleted some from the file directory just to see if it'd have an effect on the website. The ones I temporarily deleted, changed nothing to the performance of the website.
Then I saw that they did not provide me with the main.fla file, only the main.swf file. So, is the scroll behavior that I want to change contained within that main.fla file? Making it impossible for me to try and fix it since I don't have the main.fla file? Is that what controls all the .as files or something? Sorry for my ignorance, but web development is not my area of expertise, hence my reasons for buying a template
I am a Java programmer and I can read and edit most anything I get my hands on. I don't work much with flash and when I do there is no reason to look at any sort of source.I received a file from someone to add to a project and the instructions were to open the .fla in CS5 and edit certain lines to pioint to directories . The file is and interactive app type.I have tried doing this but I am at a loss. I had thought that I would just be able to view some source in the file and edit those lines and export the ,swf, but I can see nothing like that.
I'm trying to edit a .fla file. It's actually a flash game, a dating sim game to be specific. Now, the game has dialogues where you have to press a "next button" so that the next dialogue will appear, but I've noticed that all the dialogues are gone, they're not appearing at all. It's just a blank space. At the same time, the game has dynamic texts like money, energy and name of the player but likewise it's just an empty space. I've noticed that when I exported the game as swf. The text appears but it's distorted. For example the dialogue "Where am I" would appear as "a aa ii". I've also noticed that when I opened the .fla, it says that there are fonts missing.. I dont know if that has something to do with this..
What I mean is that several jpg file will be sent to the server and replace the images that embedded in the file and a exe file will be created from the new file.
I know that I can keep the jpg outside the file and just call them dynamically but I just need to use them in that way.
Is there a way to create a flash file on the fly by a script?
i have a player which is of swf file. I need to edit it to remove user defined conextmenu.( when i right click its showing one name, i need to remove that)

how to replace and edit values in an xml file with c#. The question got a great answer. Now I wonder how to do this in Actionscript and if there is an as simple way as in c#.
