Flash :: IDE - Google Calendar - Loaded Into A Dynamic Text Box Or A Loader Component?
Jan 31, 2007
Google calendar is available to be embed into a HTML website.. But I have a Flash site.. I want to load that calendar into my site.. It has an option for a button. But would like to have the entire calendar view. Can this be loaded into a dynamic text box or a loader component??? Does anyone have a clue how to do this... Or create a monthly calendar with events.. I can't seem to find one anywhere, I am sure it can be done.. but not very good with AS.
I recently bought a flash AS3 Google Calendar component.I installed in a Flash site I'm building http:[url]....It lookd great I'm having no problems with it other than I don't know how to make it work and it came with no instructions.I guess the developer assumed everyone knows how to use google calendar feeds. It comes with an xml file that looks like this:
<?php// PHP Proxy// Responds to both HTTP GET and POST requests//// Author: Abdul Qabiz// March 31st, 2006// Get the url of to be proxied// Is it a POST or a GET?$url = ($_POST['url']) ? $_POST['url']: $_GET['url'];$headers = ($_POST['headers']) ? $_POST['headers'] : $_GET['headers'];$mimeType =($_POST['mimeType']) ? $_POST['mimeType'] :[code]....
I would like to know if there is a way to create a calendar page on my site that will display the free Google Calendar? I have embedded code in a Myspace site before and it worked well, but have no experience with the IFrame code that Google Calendar uses. fyi- I just bought Flash a month ago and have been editing a template that I purchased to be my new website.
Is it possible to display my google calendar in a flash file? I tried loading it into a dynamic text box but that did not work. I feel like an idiot as it seems this should be easy to do.
how (and if) it is possible to publish a Google Calendar in one of my Flash projects... I have created a space in one of my websites in which I would like to be able to view the Calendar, but when I try to load it in, nothing happens.
I tried to use this actionscript (is this even the right thing to do?):
Code: Select allvar request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/jjdelv%40googlemail.com/public/basic"); var loader:Loader = new Loader() loader.load(request); addChild(loader);
I have developed an application using adobe Flex 3 as frontend and Java as backend. The application is related to CRM. So i need to integrate Google Calender into my application using flex 3.
i have a problem with the line space flash creates when a dynamic text is loaded in a dynamic text field on the stage i put a dynamic textFild with istance name "profile_text". then im loadin in it a text. my text is written in the Notepad like this
[Code]...
i already set a Textformat to my dynamic text with i tryied to play with the "Leading".. but i think it something dealing with paragraph. how i can decrease spacing between paragraphs??
I am working on the Google Calendar API which has been built for Flex/AIR. In the API, for performing a Delete or Update operation, it uses DELETE or PUT methods in the URLRequest. But I think these being REST based calls are supported in AIR. I am using this API in a Flash/AS3 application and have successfully implemented the Update functionality by using X-HTTP-Method-Override method for PUT and instead using POST, which is supported in Flash. But when I try to do the same thing for Delete method, I get a 401 error in the API call.
I have a simple Google Maps API with external data loaded from XML file (location, lat, long, info etc.). I also have a custom marker as a MovieClip (marker_mc), which works fine, but I want to add a Dynamic Text Field (label_txt) to this MovieClip and load a simple data (<label>) to it from same XML file (distribubtion.xml), so as a result every location would have it's own label on the marker.I know how flash loads XML data, but what I don't know is how to include that in Google Maps API (if it's even possible).
I have an external swf file loaded in loader component. The external swf loaded in loader component is stopped initially. I want to play it by a button outside the loader component which is located in the main swf movie.
I wanted to put a search box in my flex app that would act just like google or google finance: you start typing and a drop down list just below starts filtering the results dynamically. Does anyone know how to do this in flex? I am using flex and php so as the user types it will pull results off the server dynamically.
I'm looking to perform to use the Calendar Component? Basically, I have scoured the web (with my poor search skills) and haven't found a tutorial for that component using php in the way I need. I want to learn the basics of it to modify, not just get a plug-in.
I've developed a Version 2 Events Calendar component that will accept multiple, non-continuous days (which the DateChooser component does not do).
in particular I'd like to thank the following people, without whom this project would never have been completed. i'm indebted to you all
activity.xml is where you put the dates in. open up the file and you'll see how i did it. i marked the dates i wanted highlighted and then put in the url where you get taken when you click on that date.
I am using the Calendar Component in Flash and I wanted to be able to add events to the calendar using XML. Does anyone know how to do this?I would like to have the date with something in it to have a red background, which I think I have done using the setStyle feature, and once the date it listed I want a Hover Caption to pop up and follow your mouse while you over the date with information in it.
i've developed a Version 2 Events Calendar component that will accept multiple, non-continuous days (which the DateChooser component does not do). i'm indebted to you all: prophet, cycom, bodyvisual, thoriphes, claudio, scriptflipper, hga77, senocular, e.s.x.s., and mcgiver. i've learned so much from all of you. now to the component. please don't yell at me for not packaging this as an .mxp. i tried and well, failed... open up the attached zip file: EventsCalendar.swc and XMLMember.as go here: Program Files --> Macromedia --> Flash MX2004 --> en --> Configuration --> Components.
activity.xml needs to be on the same level and in the same folder as the .fla you're putting this in. activity.xml is where you put the dates in. open up the file and you'll see how i did it. i marked the dates i wanted highlighted and then put in the url where you get taken when you click on that date.
So I think this question is dumb, and I think I may know the answer already but, I think I may also be very confused, so hear goes. I have a website It is made up of an entire flash site, all in pure AS3, I have the flash component for google analytics, I have events set up all over the file to tell me when things are downloaded, using trackEvent, then all the navigation is all set with trackPageview, so thats all good. If I turn on the debug command and test the file, it tells me what is going on, the only event that fires automatically, is if the user watched the entire intro, it will wait for the intro to finish and track that as an event.
The next part of this site uses swfObject, to allow me to use alternate content. The html side of this site is almost the same as the flash side, it uses all the same event tracking, but no pageview tracking, as from my understanding this is tracked automatically when the user goes from section to section, the analytics code is within the head section. So my question is this. If a user has flash and goes to my site, it should only use the analytical stuff that is in the swf file, correct, however because the analytical data from the html file is in the head of that document, it should also track that at the same time, right. so would this chalk up in my analytics as 1 page visit or 2.
I have been running it this way for a month and the reason I am even questioning it is because, in October 2010 before this was all in place, I only had the analytics set up for the html side, and even that set up did not include any event tracking at all, at this point my analytics was averaging 2500 visits a month with an 83% bounce rate. This was obviously untrue as almost everything was counting as a bounce. Now in January my analytical data is looking very different, my visits are sitting on 5600 and my bounce rate is 39%, I think this is looking much better however I am still concerned because I do not know if I really am getting double the visits, or if the html is adding 1 and the flash is adding another simultaneously.
I have a project ongoing at the moment that uses dynamic text blocks to form menu items and general project information. When loaded and run directly, everything is completely fine. However when i load the same movie through a loader flash, some (not all) of the text fields disappear.
All of the textfields are created on stage and have the correct font listed. I can trace the text fine, so it is applying ok. obviously the font is embedded because some of the text fields work, and all use the embedFonts = true, so it isnt a case of not looking for the right font.
The AS2 DateChooser has just the functionality I need to build the events calendar that I have to build .. however .. while I know what to do in theory, I'm stumbling on (a) whether it will work and (b) syntax.
I want to display an instance of the DateChooser (myDate) and access the selectedDate property when the user selects a date. Then I need to pass it to the main events page preferably on the same page with something like this:
SELECT EventTitle. EventDescription, EventLink FROM Events WHERE EventDate = MMColParam
MMColParam 1 myDate.selectedDate
The page itself is ASP. I am thinking I would probably define a variable and perhaps use LoadVars to load the selected date from Flash .. not something I have done before.
Perhsps something like
dim eventDate eventDate = myDate.selectedDate
I'm sure that's not the syntax .. but I think that is the theory. I should be able to access the selectedDate property of the Date Chooser instance and feed the date into the query to select the events on that date and list them.
I am having some problems with displaying loaded xml in flash. The content had loaded successfully but am having problems displaying it into dynamic text fields named txtDate, txtTitle and txtDescription.. iv attached the xml aswel
i have a dynamic text which loads data from external file what i want is that based on what i click in the dynamic text the corresponding image should be displayed from the folder in the movie clip loader. e.g say dynamic text file has ball,bat,bird,sun these should be listed in the dynamic text area and when say i click ball, the movie clip loader should display the the image of ball from the folder.
As far as I know theres in no way to cahnge the alpha of a dynamic text box. I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. Could someone plz verify for me that u can't change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.
im trying to make a pre-loader, that based on the percent loaded, displays text. So at 5% it says "loading" and at 10% "still loading" , etc. Im guessing there is a way to say percenttotal=5, entertext=still loading target=instancenameoftextbox I've gotten the loader tutorial on the site here to work, i just want to add this to it.
I am extending VBox to make a Calendar component. What method should I override to add the code to draw itself? What is the difference between all these methods? Is there something I should be putting in each one, or is there a specific method I can just override, add my drawing code, and have it work?
I had an assessment i need to finish as my test for flash developer vacancy...i need to create a function that convert date Gregorian calendar to Hijri calendar in flashis that possible?I've search through google, but still doesnt find anything useful yet.
I have to set up an list of events in sort of a calendar format. I'm trying to figure out how I should bring in the data.The data will be stored in a mySQL database. Should I just bring it straight into flash with PHP, or should I use PHP to convert it to XML and then bring it to flash?
