I need to load contents of an external html document through AJAX. The problem is the external page has some Flash application embedded. Now I need to show this html with the embedded flash in my own webpage.
In terms of HTTP request performance should I pick AJAX or Flash? To be more specific, I'm more into Flash than AJAX and I'm currently working on a wide scale web project. I wanted to try AJAX out for once and now it's getting too messy for me. Before it gets more complicated I thought may be I can run Flash on the background for HTTP Requests and use it with javascript. I couldn't find any benchmark on the Internet, but I think AJAX is faster than Flash. So what's your personal experience? Is there too much difference between Flash and AJAX?
I created a menu in flash and As3, nested in a HTML page, which calls html pages by the classic way urlrequest->navigatetourl.Now I was wondering if i can make As3 call a AJAX function declared in the HTML page or at least in the swf file itself....
I have problems with facebook application based on flash which communicate with PHP using FBJS-bridge.When someone use the application for the first time, he/she is asked for various permissions. After that, flash contact PHP with ajax but request is never sent. When you refresh page, everything is working without any problems.If you remove the application on privacy settings, refresh the page and try again -same bug happens.If you allow application, refresh page, in other tab remove application and start application in previous tab - user is asked for permissions but everything is working after allowing application.This is FBJS code
function openPermissions(){ Facebook.showPermissionDialog(/*permissions string*/, permissionOnDone);[code]......
openPermissions is called to display permission dialog, and on allow flash function allow() is called. In flash, allow() calls JS function ajaxCall(), which should make ajax request. But, ajax.post never sends request. I know that for sure, because flash function parseAjax was never called and also debugging tools in browsers are not showing any ajax requests. URL and parameters are same as when it is working. No flash or JS errors are detected...
There is a number of Flash and AJAX based uploaders around. I need a file upload component for an existing form in an existinc application, so I have very specific requirements for it. Maybe somebody knows one off the top of their head and saves me a lot of research.
I need a file upload component that has a progress bar and "upload" button next to it (= standalone functionality, no connection to the submit event of a surrounding form).
It should be either Flash or Prototype based. No JQuery or Moo, as the app runs with prototype.
If server-side scripting is needed, it must be PHP. No Perl, no ASP.
On successful upload, I need a custom Javascript function triggered. (I need to update a file list that is displayed on the same page.)
The possibility of filtering file names before upload (no Umlauts, spaces..) would be a plus.
I will try to give this question a bounty in a minute if I'm allowed to.
Edit: I can't seem to open a bounty. Do I have to wait first?
I have a coldfusion page that uses JQuery UI TAB to load another coldfufion page which includes a cfchart in flash format. But this works completely fine in FF.(everything was loaded, flash cfchart, tables ...)
<li><a href="xxx.cfm?param=#xxx#">XXX</a></li>
However in IE: all of the html elements that are generated with the flash object are loaded, except the flash object and embed tags do not show up at all after running an ajax call in IE.
how can i fix this error to let the flash cfchart display inIE?
I can't for the life of me get this to work. I have my flash publish settings in CS3 set to AS2.I am simply just trying to get buttons on a menu to load html pages into a specified frame.I am using this AS on the button
on (release) { getURL("bottom2.html", mainframe); }
My HTML is correct.. but the button loads the html page into a new page instead of the frame 'mainframe'. This must be a simple setting or code that I am missing..it half works
I've looked high and low for an answer to this and I'm hoping someone has an answer, or at least a tip on how to avoid it.I'm loading a static HTML file into a container via the jQuery load() method. This static HTML file has a script which loads a swf. When I load that particular file, I get the white screen of death (WSOD) and the page explodes and everyone in the room dies a horrible death.I've had this happen also when using the jQuery wrap methods (wrap, wrapOuter, etc.) when a swf is present.It seems manipulating the DOM with a container that has a swf object causes this. Does anyone have a solution or a way that I can prevent it happening?
-1 large html (home.html) file houses 2 html files (aaa.html and bbb.html) -aaa.html consists of 1 swf button -bbb.html is empty
question: is it possible to click on the button in aaa.html and have the action occur in bbb.html? (for example, clicking the button in aaa.html will load a swf in bbb.html)
In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view. Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I am building a website with flash and have a few different swf files i want to load in the site. Say swf1 is the main part of the site. swf2 is a file I want to load into swf1. There are a few more swf files that load dynamically as well as by user interaction.
In flash, when I go to publish preview everything works fine. When I publish the files, swf1 I published as an swf file as well as an html file. When I view the html file, swf1 is there but none of the other swf files load into swf1. I tried to create the html page in dreamweaver 8 with the same result. I created a site map for the site and still nothing.
To load the swf dynamically I used this code on the main timeline of swf1[code]...
is ajax/ javascript functions accessible from flash? in games like those at mindjolt it is irritatitng to wait for the flash file to load and initizalize and then have the page change to the scores page again
i was windering if its possible to use ajax from flash? so the flash game sendds the score/ result to the page and only parts of it change, (developers can even choose to force pause the game for 5 seconds so the user registers/ submits score etc)
and then can continue. now what happens in page changes, then you need to return to the page and wait for flash swf file to load again ...
I have the following in an XML file and the image shows up when I target the SWF publishing to Flash Player 10, but when I switch to AIR 1.5 the image stops showing up:
<P><font color="#727272" size="12px"><img src="images/TheShow-sponsors.jpg" hspace='0' vspace='0'/> xyzLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla dui dolor,
I'm having real trouble in as3.I have a flash file with 5 dynamic text fields with instance names... textfield1, textfield2, textfield3, textfield4, textfield5.I really need to have one simple .txt file that someone who doesn't know anything about html or xml can easily edit INCLUDING the addition of simple formatting like <a href="">In previous versions of AS it was as simple as referencing a txt file that included..[code]
I have this project where I need to load 3 external variables into my swf-file on a webpage. The wierd thing is that I got this to work before, but now it suddenly wouldn't :
I use swfObject to setup the variables like this:
<script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {page:"page1", box:"head2"}; var params = {};
I'm designing a flash website for someone, and he is wondering if there's a way for me to set it up in flash but have the body of the website be in HTML so he could go in at any time and edit the website.This sounded easy enough, but after playing around with things, I'm not sure if it's possible. Is there a way to have flash load an HTML file inside a Flash file when a button is hit, etc?
i saw a bunch of tutorials about XML on kirupa, but never a real tutorial on how you can load an XML file in your swf from HTML. I mean for my new website i need the menu to be in different languages, and it would be great if i could load the menu text via XML in my flash. And it would be way better if someone knew how i can load an XML into flash just by calling it in HTML, so i can chose different XML files every time an other language is chosen.
the entirety of the page loads, but not all of it is in the dynamic text box. If I trace the results of the onData, the whole page shows up in the outbox window, but scrolling all the way down (using the attached UIScrollBar component that comes with Flash) only takes me maybe a quarter of the way through.
I created a very simple flash intro and I just need the swf file to index2a.html. The swf file sits in the html file. Here is the link http://thinkprint.at/maunz I'm using Flash CS3
I'm importing an XML document into a flash movie. The XML is using HTML tags so that I can highlight certain words and use HTML links in the text field the data is being loaded into.
But the issue I'm having is that all of the < and > tags and all information within it being displayed within the text field.
The text field's html property is true. The text field's multiline property is true. In the XML document, the text that I'm having load into this text field is separated by the CDATA tag so that it doesn't get parsed out.
I just can't figure it out. Before I used the CDATA tag, I put all the necessary < and > tags in place, and I'm getting the same results.
I don't know why everything is being displayed even though I'm rendering this text as HTML.
i am having problem with loading external text or html content code works on main timeline it loads whole html contents with image but i move it in movieclip the only text just disappears.i tried to load it through external swf file but the text is still invisible
When the web page is loaded the flash (and PHP) is going to load up a Yahoo! page [URL]and somehow load the daily Couples horoscope into my dynamic text box. If you look at the source of that HTML page, it has the following:
Code:
<b class="yastshdotxt">Daily Couples:</b><br>Intellectual curiosity helps keep you young at heart. Take a trip to the library together, or head out to your favorite neighborhood galleries.<br><br>
My question is, how do i get actionscript & PHP to load that horoscope into my text box? My current source is attached (in MX 2004 format).
I've used ExternalInterface.call for an onclick flash event to load some xml with XMLHttpRequest. the xml loads. but if i change the xml file on the server, the old xml file loads for the client, not the new one. i believe the problem is that the browsers are caching the results. i heard that this could usually be fixed by returning false from ur JavaScript onclick handler. but i dont have a JavaScript onclick handler, i have a flash onclick handler.
How do I keep the menu static so the animations do not refresh with page clicks? Example would be like a 'frames' but within ASP.NET 2.0... Do I use the old HTML Iframes approach?? Or can I use something more contemporary using AJAX or something like that? This one stumps me... Should I user custom controls or AJAX ??Among other things, I'd like to change the menu swf based on security role of user in ASP.net 2.0, so I would need to pass variables to Flex / Flash application.
I want to send AJAX requests to my website from my Flash games to process data, but I don't want people downloading them, decompiling them, then sending fake requests to be processed, so I'm trying to figure out the most secure way to process in the PHP files. My first idea was to use Apache's built in Authorization module to require a username and password to access the pages on a separate subdomain of my website, but then you'd have to include that username and password in the AJAX request anyway so that seems kind of pointless to even try.My current option looks pretty promising but I want to make sure it will work. Basically it just checks the IP address being sent using REMOTE_ADDR to make sure it's the IP address that my server runs on.
<? $allowed = new Array("64.120.211.89", "64.120.211.90"); if (!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $allowed)) header("HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden"); ?>
Both of those IP addresses point to my server. Things I'm worried about:
1) If I send a request from Flash/ActionScript, will that affect the IP address in any way?
2) Is it possible for malicious users to change the IP address that is being sent with REMOTE_ADDR to one of my IP addresses?
