External Controls For Xml Driven Swf?
Oct 30, 2009
I have an swf with xml and external content for which I need play, stop and sound volume controls at least. The swf doesn't have them and it's action script 3 so I can't even get it opened in flash cs2.
Is it possible to create external controls or do I have to pay someone to create a new swf to go with the xml and css files?
can create a new fla/swf file that I could later edit for size, colors etc in the case where I need to create a new one. and how much... If not I may still need someone to create the controls for me and run me through the process of getting them to work with my current files.

I bought a flash site template that loads xml driven swfs inside the main swf as different menu items are clicked. The modules that come with the template work fine, but I don't know how to add a third party xml driven swf, so that it shows up properly. While the third party swf works fine as a standalone, the embedded version loads just an empty movie.

I'm looking for a way to use an XML driven Combobox to load external .JPG's and .swf files into my Flash file. I'm a Graphic Designer (way more of a designer than a coder, so I'm no pro when it comes to Action Script) used to AS2.

well i have a problem to which there are lots of related searches over the net but none could solve it. well the problem is that i have an XML driven carousel menu that needs to be loaded using the preloader. After the load is complete i can find my swf menu's backgound and the static buttons getting loaded but the buttons that should load in the carousel using xml are not present.
I have come across the even ADDED_TO_STAGE to load the swf once it has completed its dynamic loading. But they have used it in the documentation class for thier project. I am not using any separate actionscript file.All my code is written in the 1st frame of my project .... I really need a solution to this problem

i have an annoying problem. I have a mc that i use as a button. I have an external class that controls the button and adds interactivity to it, here's part of the code:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
[Code]...
The problem is, i want the btn that, when clicked, remain inactive.That's why I remove all the listeners in the class. HOWEVER, it still functions as a button, I mean the functions haven't been removed at all after I click it. What's wrong here?? Why are the functions still there, if I have removed them when clicked at the btn?

I will try to be as clear as I can. I have an existing swf file that I need to add Play,Pause, FF and Rewind to but I need the controls to be part of the swf file and not as a video player.
I am loading an external swf file that has all of the controls on it via this code:
[Code]...
I am doing this so I can rollover the viewing window and have it appear. I cannot get any code to work to control the timeline (which is broken down into sections with individual MC's in each section.
What I am looking for is the code to apply to the buttons on the external controller to control the playing of the movie.

I have a XML file with images and tags which should be loaded into movieclips.The tags are separated in maintags and normal tags. Maintags are describing the image itself and "normal" tags are referring to other images. If you click on an image/movieclip its normal tags should be read and referring to other images' maintags which now should be loaded into the movieclips.Sounds complicated but actually it's easy. Theoretically I understand what to do, but I'm not able to express it in Actionscript.Here's my(rudimentary) code:
PHP Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;[code]......

Basically, i have created a simple rollover map of London Boroughs. I have a dynamic text box following the cursor which is populated by an edited version of the Borough MC's instance name. So far so good. I would really like a way of neatly loading text and image information in a pop-up for each Borough, when that Borough MC is clicked on, via an xml file which contains all relevent data.I have managed to create a simple xml file to contain the data, and to 'trace' the various required attributes (borough name, data, images, captions), but am unsure how to connect the data to the action of clicking on a particular Borough.From reading around the many xml discussions (mostly discussing image galleries) i think this involves using a loop array? As i am new to flash i am struggling to find the right way of applying this method in this circumstance

I have never done an XML gallery, I have read over many tutorials and searched google thoroughly without success.Basically I want an area on the left of thumbnails with a scroll, represented by the red line, when you click a thumbnail the large version appears in the large black area, doesn't have to be any fancy fade in/out effects, just show up.

In fact, i make flash CD presentation in Adobe Flash CS5 AS2 (with minimal use of ActionScript). It occurs to me the next problem ... need to load flash image gallery that i already have created, in new presentation file. Gallery was created in Flash Slideshow maker and as products I have. Swf,. Xml and folders with thumbnails and picture (no. Fla file).The concept of the presentation (as root is concerned) should look like in uploaded picture "izgled otvorenog cd-a". In each of the folder on cd presentation (as on picture) is a Flash presentation controlled by their xml file whose name I must not change. Exe file "Prezentacija 2011" is a presentation (Flash Projector) that i try to make. In the same presentation i create frames and for each of the frames added action:
loadMovie ("02_Kapije/kapije.swf", "kapije_ucitavanje");
kapije_ucitavanje._x = 23;
kapije_ucitavanje._y = 167;

I am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish. The only rotators I can seem to find have external XML/image files, etc. All I want to do is create simple SWF's that I can use to display rotating images preferably is a smooth and stylish manner. Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?

I have an accordion menu fla, I copied the fla into my main fla so I have one file. The menu has external links that can be added in the xml file which is great but I need to link the menu from within the fla it is in. I need to have each mc or button in the menu link to a specific frame within the .fla I see now in order to do this I have to edit the actionscript within the menu. I'm new in AS3 but from my little experience in it I think I need an eventlistener that calls a function which will send the each instance to a frame inside the file.
Here is the original
[URL] (skip the crappy intro) and you will see 4 photos in an accordion. They link to separate galleries with no back buttons
Here is my remake [URL]
my version calls links thru an xml file which I posted above.
The file is in AS3
it is here [URL]
So I would need to link the 4 mc's in the menu to separate frames main.swf

I'm being asked if some resources I created can be made accessible. Currently each resource is the exact same launch.swf, but each is pulling from a different xml file. I'm so proud of myself! But now it looks like you can't dynamically generate accessilbe resources. I'm being asked for the alt.text equivalent of various text boxes, while the actual content of each box depends on multiple factors.

Im currently working on a system whereby a user can fill in text fileds within a PDF form, submit the data as XML and this is picked up by the Actionscript in a .SWF file thus allowing end user customisation without the need to edit the actual Flash files.I have all this working fine so far however im stuck at a particular part.I want to have radio buttons (or something similar) on each page of the PDF where the user can select if the page has to be output in the .SWF file or not. Ive tried creating the actionscript part for this however im completely lost. The XML from the PDF i can manage no probs but the actionscript part is stumping me.

I'm about to start work on my first app which will be an internal release to gather customer information at a trade show.I'm hopefully looking into using air for ios or maybe one of the various html/js frameworks to develop this app as an alternative to learning C.ideally I would do it with some server based php > sql to store and share gathered information between a fleet of iPads, unfortunately due to the population of this trade show there will be no guarantee that i can maintain a wireless connection so need to prepare for these apps all being local access only.in which case, how would you recommend going about the saving/reading of the stored data, and also how to sync it up with a sql server and then back to the iPads each night.

I have been working on building a XML menu and I have been able to create the main menu but I am not sure how to add the sub menu items in a drop down. I have included a zip file of my little test project which is CS4 and includes the fla and xml file.
The menu items consist of the following and the sub menu options are listed. As I said I have been able to create the main menu but I am not sure how to add and display the sub menus.[code]...

I've been hunting for tutorials on XML driven AS3 menus. I've found some really cool stuff, but nothing that does what I want, and most don't really explain the "hows' involved in getting the XML into the flash. I want to dynamically load menu buttons based upon an xml document in horizontal fashion with sub menus that load 10px down and to the right of the main menu button. With each item in the sub menu filing to the right. I'd also like to have that light up bar track the main buttons so that as the mouse moves over the bar slides to it.
Here's the code for the bar:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
button_mc.buttonMode = true;
button2_mc.buttonMode = true;
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent):void {
new Tween(bar_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,bar_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,1,true);
}
Most of the XML driven code I have found obviously doesn't have a static instance name and use addChild()

I've read Sen's tut. on making the xml menu, but I couldn't spot and/or find a way to make the menu horizontal rather than vertical. I would very much like to use this effect as it would make my site so much easier to update as far as more or less links go.Here is the code from Sen's tutorial:
