View 0 RepliesI created a News Ticker in Flash CS3 from a tutorial on your site URL...But it just flashes "undefined" I know I must be messing something up with the location of the XML file or where it's defined in the action script. I don't think I understand the "cache" part of the tutorial or why the file can't be local? I have gone to the suggested links in the tutorial, and being a total novice, I must be missing some main point.
View 3 RepliesI am going to redesign a website and for that website I want there to be a news section on the homepage. The news section should be built in Flash with images representing news headlines animating on a loop however a user should be able to click one of these images and then within the homepage a Flash pop up will appear with the news article. This is similar to sites that have an image gallery with thumbnails of images but when an thumbnail is clicked then the full size image loads within the same webpage. I want a similar effect but in my case, when a full size image is clicked, a text based news article loads.

My text animation scrolls from left to right, which is OK. I want to keep it simple but change it up little. How do I get the text to go right to left?

function addUm():void {
my_str = my_str.charAt(my_str.length - 1) + my_str.slice(0, my_str.length - 1);

pull 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've been tasked with producing a Flash movie which will retrieve (presumably as an array) a list of all the articles in our Sharepoint Portal 2003 news listing, and display the title and abstract text, one story at a time (looping through every item in
the array).
I presume I need to use the WebServiceConnector, and point the WDSL URL to our Area's areaservice.amsx, and then presumably use the GetAreaListingData operation to retireve the data, and hopefully pipe the data out into a couple of dynamic text boxes,but beyond that I'm a bit lost. Talk about in at the deep end, but unfortunately as the only developer on site who knows anything at all about Flash, I'm up against it to get this completed as quickly as possible..
I using the news ticker example to create a flash sig for my blog of highlighted posts. The question is there anyway of creating an automatic xml updater? So that all I would have to do is place some sort of "highlighter" tag in a post, then the xml file would be updated, thus a new link appear in the news ticker? I guess if I some how had rss for a tag, that then the xml was read into the flash file.
