Data Integration :: Import XML Data Into A Flash Movie?
Oct 26, 2006
I have the Following requirement and I do not even know where to begin.I have created a map of a Country and on the map are several towns and cities, obviously easy enough so far.So, for example, say the XML data provides information of ten different pieces of information, one might be say Lightning Strikes.
I want to be able to create a dynamic map that adds a Red dot beside the City, that represents a record of the lightning strike. Or ,if required a larger dot might represent 10 lightning strikes if it is a very regular occurance.The main objective is to provide an up to date visual representation of which location is more active.I don't mind experimenting or following a link or guide to work it out,
We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.
I have a simple microsoft access database (table with a handful of fields).I want to make a flash form that operators can use on mac and pc to enter information into the database.I know little about databases and although I've worked as a designer with flash for years, i know little about the latest scripting too.
How to store the data text in Access databases using flash form and to search into the database. It is possible to work without server because I don't want to put this flash file on the net. how to make databases and to connect with flash and to have possibility to search the database, but to work database in the local computer.
Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

this is my current cv, painstakenly written in flash: [URL] I was told that I can use an external data file and load this into a flash file with xml, i am trying to make an xml file that will do what you see here above. But i cannot get the information to load properly where each title is separate (bold) and the description underneath it (plain text). i cannot get my cv to show up in a linear format as it only shows the first entry and then stops.
I have an interactive Flash simulation that I have imported into SABA Publisher. I need for the Flash file to communicate with SABA, basically returning that the user has successfully completed the simulation. SABA is supposed to be able to receive data from Flash.
I have a website that is all flash. I have a main file that loads in the nav and then the nav loads in the designated .swf file for each section. So there are several sections(.swf's) with lots of text taken from a database and inserted into the swf file from an XML file. If I click in between sections, and go back to the original section of text the formatting is lost. This is only in Internet Explorer 7- this does not happen in Firefox or on the Mac.

We had used paper in the past, but taking the names andemail addresses from the paper is time consuming and sometimes very
Does anyone know of any really easy and effective ways to move complex data types from PHP into FLASH and vice-versa? A while back I made an attempt to recreate PHP' serialize() function in actionscript but it was really difficult and performance was poor.
I'm able to do it fairly easily for one dimensional arrays indexed by numbers, but when I have to pass either an object (or several objects) or when i have to pass a nested array of arbitrary complexity (such as a data tree) then I get bogged down.
I have a little experience dealing with XML in flash (working with the tree component) but it seems like so much effort when i am dealing with a new data type.
Does anyone know of any pre-packaged components or code (in actionscript and complimentary part in php) that might be useful?
I'm new to the flash development community, has anyonemarried the flash environment with the real-time data world? Can Iuse the viewer to "walk" a bulding floor plan with real-time nserted into it?

i have created an online calendar, you can see it on this link this application uses php as well which is called through the actionscript it works fine on firefox browsers, and some versions of IE, the version i have is explorer 7 (which i really dont like), and it doesnt work well at all. dont know if it works on safari or other browsers, i havent checked it out yet (the main problem is trying to write more than one message, it isnt displayed on the messageboard on IE).
I have coded a program to accept several text fields in Flash and then transfer them (using a defined Class function, sendExample with sendPhp) and display them with a pfp form. When I run the swf from my pc it transfers the data correctly (the php file is on my hosted server.) However when I transfer the swf to the server (along with the class I defined to do the transfer), the php file is called but no data is transfered. What is missing from the server to make the data transfer complete? No errors, just a php page with no data inserted.
I have a flash8 object embedded in a VB.net form. I use GetVariable and SetVariable from VB to get and set variables in the flash movie. This works great until you try to do a GetVariable on a variable in the movie that hasn't been defined. I would expect it to return 'undefined' or 'null', but instead my VB app becomes stuck, seemingly waiting for the GetVariable response... I tried to do a TypeOf check to see if a null is returned, but no luck with that either.
getting data from XML into Flash,but I'm seeing that this is going to be very important to future projects that I work on. I am using FileMaker Pro (currently version 7, but upgrading to 8) to create a database and exporting XML file from there to read into Flash. I cannot seem to get the data from the XML to show up in the Flash movie. I have been following a tutorial on Lynda.com on Flash/FileMaker integration, but the XML file doesn't look quite the same. Here is the XML data I get when exporting from FileMaker:
I have a swf (swf#1) with links to another swf (swf #2). I would like use GET to pass data out of swf #1 to a PHP page that will be holding swf #2. I want swf #2 to start at a specific frame based on the data passed from swf #1.
I got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]
Im trying to use dynamic SQL tables on my PHP server so I need to pass the table name to the PHP script. I don't understand why the Data Management system that sets up CRUD won't allow this extra parameter. It says it can only have one input: item. I can get all records, but when I try to create, update, or delete I get an error.
Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?
