Data Integration :: Loading Dynamic Xml Table Cells / Layout / And Functions
Oct 20, 2006
i'm trying to load a full html page with layout table cells intact and full function (like an i frame)i can load text and image but i can seem to get the entire page flash just lods it how it wants.does anyone have an idea? Can this be done? i've tried it with a dynamic text field, componets, and i can get falsh to see table / cell layouts at all.[code]is how i load my content. but making several dynamic text fields to load one page of content is working my nerves.URL...
I have a table (Excel File) about 1000 rows and 3 columns. I want to load this table to the Flash and then be able to fetch data by referring to the first column.
I have been given the task at work to create a interactive tree. A little like a family tree, but instead of people it will be branches (think of them as buildings). I've spent a day or so looking and finding out how to get the data from my SQL database in a format that flash can read it etc. Anyhow the problem is I don't really know where to start with the graphical aspect of it...
Each branch can have more than one child and i want the user to be able to scroll through the history of that branch, seeing it's parent branch and also it's child branches, each branch will have a certain amount of information to show. So it's almost as if i need to create a branch class and then use this and load all the data into it etc.
Should i create a new layer for each branch? Then when the user clicks a down button i just take them to a new layer? Do i create the whole thing on one layer and have navigation buttons so the user can scroll around the window and see all the other branches?
It would be nice if i could draw the damn thing at run time, and the user almost walks along lines from one branch to another, and has the option which path to take if one branch has more than one child etc.
I'm trying to find any AS scripts or examples files that can help me build a dynamic data table generator in flash. Ultimately the generator will be XML driven. The tables have varying columns, rows, labels and data too. Right now I'm just trying to work out the AS that generates the table; I can rewire it to use the xml later on.
i have dynamic text-fields in flash (AS 3) and button on my form. my backend is sql server and i want show data in text-fields on button click event. i m using asp.net as server side script.I have Form in Flash and i want to fetch data in form on flash button click event from sql server .
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]
Using Flash Pro CS4/Windows Vista: I have a table layout which breaks apart in Firefox leaving gaps between cells after inserting a SWF file.
I have inserted the file using the Insert>Media>SWF command in Dreamweaver and uploaded the SCRIPTS folder.
When I remove the SWF object, the file displays perfectly (with an empty cell where the SWF object should appear) The SWFobject is 2 pixels narrower than the containing cell (cell: 227w X 146h; SWF 225w X 146h)[URL]..
I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.thedate =
I've built a custom FLV player that needs to rely on a PHP script to serve it FLV files in order to control access to those files. My player uses the FLVPlayback component.My actionscript makes a call like this to the PHP script:[code]When tested, the FLVPlayback component simply won't accept the FLV served up to it in this way. It WILL work if loading directly from the file system, so I know my actionscript works. I can load just about any other type of file into Flash this way,including JPG and SWF. FLV is the only format that doesn't work.I've added the video/x-flv MIME Type to all test servers I've tried this on, so the server should recognize the file.
I have created a Flash Map that functions properly with a static XML file but when I try to load a dynamic XML generated my ColdFusion I get no results. The example can be found at: http:[url]...The one that does not work is at http:[url]....
This map should load the different states that are in the XML file but instead it does not load any of them. The two different XML files can be found at: http:[url]....and http:[url].....An interesting note: Firefox does not recognize the cfm file as a XML file but IE does. This may be based on the file extension.
The Action Script is exactly the same except that it references adifferent file. The Flash works when published for Flash Player 6 but when I try to publish for Player 8 even the static XML does not work.
I am using loadvariablesnum to load some variables from my php doc, is there a way i can test to see if its loaded or not to jump to the next frame..? Right now I am having it load into a string.text to test if there is text in it, but I don't want to use a string.text
i have an image carousel, images being pulled from xml..right now, when you click the image, it slides over and some text appears also comming from the same xml file.. xml set up like this
what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title"> <section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" > <frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content
Is there a way to load an XML file if it's on a differen server/domain than the html/swf file? I already set allowScriptAccess="all" but it didn't seem to help.
I would like to build a dynamic webdatabase.(One form that updates text and bit-maps.)I must use Microsoft ACCESS or mySQL.Is it possible and is there any video tutorials out there?I heard a lot of "tissling and tassling" that flash is not well suited to work with databases.
I have a scroll pane that is linked to a movie clip with a dynamic text field. The scroll pane expands automatically based on the length of the dynamic text field. I would also like to have the dynamic text field expand automatically to fit the dynamic content from an external .txt file if there is too much text to fit in the default text field length.
Here is the code I am using to get the .txt files:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars(); myLoadVars.onLoad = function() { // the data is loaded in the myLoadVars object as a property
I am trying to use the FLV Playback component to load FLV's dynamiclly into the flash movie.What I have is a asp page with a Recordset pulling the URL from the DB into the page using Dreamweaver. This is all fine.Now I have one instance of the FLVPlayback on the stage with flash .I am trying to load the url for the FLV file into the movie, via ASP, MsSQL and a url parameter. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a link on a page with a url that will open a popup window. In this window I will have the Flash file that will load the FLV based on the URL, and play it.
I used a sample of macromedia to get a XML file with the names to the swf files i want to import in the stage. That works (for now). But now i also want to at a link (using getURL();) to the movieclip where the swf file is placed.
PS. i used gallery_tween.fla from the sample folder if someone wants to know...
The flash movie in my server (www.mydomain.com) is trying to access data from a different domain (www.otherdomain.com). I've placed the crossdomain.xml in the webroot of the otherdomain. I am getting flash error on accessing the data from otherdomain. When I tracked the HTTP request sent, it shows only one request with URL: https:[url]....
INET_E_SECURITY_PROBLEM.Its clear from this result that IE is not able to load crossdomain.xml file from otherdomain.The same application works in Mozilla Firefox and failing in IE6.
In my Flash application, the SWF file is located on a serverand is downloaded to clients in a controlled network. I want to beable to load XML data located on the client machines into the SWFfile. It looks like security settings is not allowing thi tohappen, as the local files are treated as a separate sandbox.If I were to use System.security.allowDomain, how do Ipecify local files? It's not a domain or URL. Or is there another way to do this? I'm wading through thesecurity information, but I haven't found the solution yet.
I have a project where I need to use XML to dynamically load PNG and GIF files not just JPEGs. I have found forums and information from 2004 of users complaining about the capability not being available but since then we now have Flash 8.
I would like to make a xmas ecard and want to include the recipient's name and greeting message in the swf.I would like to define the name and message within the url so I can custom it easily and send to different people: http:[url]....
i have edited an open source flv player's fla file for my needs,but ihave some problem.it uses XML when getting video source URL but i want it to read from QueryString or a variable from ASP.How Can i do this? the original codes are like this,these are for reading from XML source;
i am creating a dynamic data list to show data for upcoming events on my website [URL] inside of the flash user interface I created: [URL] I loaded the XML file into the flash movie frame but the image will not show up Here is the XML file code used:
I have a Flash MP3 player that loads the song list from an XML file. I'm trying to set it up to take the customer to the online store to purchase the currently playing song. The player successfully loads the track name, artist name, and url to the song, but for some reason does not appear to the load the new attribute of buylink that I have just added. Given the code below, my buylink value is returned as undefined.
