IDE :: Featured Content - Switch Tabs For Language?
Jul 31, 2009
I am trying to build a flash file that has 4 tabs/buttons. Rolling over a tab, shows the featured content/image for that tab. The website this is for has 5 different language sites (subdirectories) so:
1 - the featured content/image needs to be translated and
2 - one of the language sites need a different tab#3 content piece.
I've tried setting this up several different ways. 1st way: dynamic text fields with the translated text in the AS code... It was getting very confusing between showing content with images, translated text... lots of code for what seams like it should be simple.
I thought an easier way might be to just have a tabs_mc and an images_mc. Within both of those movie clips would be labeled frames for each language. I'm using a 'site' variable to tell each movie clip which frame to go to. Everything works great for the intial English version, but when I get to the "Spanish" version which needs to have a different tab3 content/image, I get TypeError: Error # 1009:and everything works up to tab3... tab 3 and tab 4 do not work, no alpha change or image_mc change.
I think I have something messed up with the event listeners... maybe switching to a different frame within a movieclip, makes the event listeners not work? But no clue how to fix it.

how to develop a featured content slider. The following web sites are examples of what I'd like to create:
[URL]
the following behaviors are desired - using nothing but pure ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS3. I realize some of these use jQuery or JW Image Rotator - we are not looking to do that.Preloader for each slideAuto play for each slide with fade transitions to the next slide. Markers (highlighted) indicating which slide is currently playingNavigation (back, forward and the ability to select each marker)Display corresponding HTML content underneath the graphic [URL].

I created an ajax jQuery featured content slider that will automatically navigate through each tab. Each tab has some basic html. The one I used is this one: [URL]. For some reason, when I embed a flash video in it, the flash video overflows the div. It looks fine in Chrome and Safari but not the latest version of Firefox (3.6) on the PC. Is it not handling overflow or z-indexes correctly?

I was thinking about adding another language to the site i'm working on, and i was wondering what would be the best way to create a "Language Switch" (for ex. English to French and vice-versa)? I thought that create two XML file (one english, one french), with the same node's structure would be a good idea, and the make a side menu with something like that:
on (release) {
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("english.xml");
}
And in the 1st movie frame there would be the link to textfields and respective nodes.

I am fairly new to flash and I have started to attempt to modify a template that I found online to make it my own. The thing that I am having problems with is the URL Links. There are 5 different clickable tabs on the header that I have, and when you edit it in flash cs4, each one is the same image when you edit it. The only way in which you can change what each one of them says is by editing them in the library. This isn't the problem. I want to link these tabs to different pages on my website. When I edit one of them, all of them change to the same url link. The file is too large for me to upload I think.

I can't really understand how can Adobe let the developers release such a messy embedded Flash editor. Please, fix the line copying, it drives me mad. In every normal editor, when u get to the start of the line and press shift+downarrow, the whole line is selected. Flash selects the tabs in the next line also. So pasting is a horrible nightmare.

Im loading tabs for an accordion control at runtime. The number of tabs is determined by the role of the user. Each tab comes from a module so the load time is variable. As a result the list order changes every time the app is run.Is there a practical way to sort the tabs as each new tab is loaded?

I'm trying to maintain a web applications state across multiple tabs whilst using ActionScript, JavaScript, and PHP. Should I use AJAX to update the database after an item has been purchased etc, or should I prevent the game being loaded if it's already open in a single tab (if so how could I achieve this)?
I'm building a facebook game, when the user buys an item and has many open tabs it doesn't update the state in the other open tabs. The buying of an item is handled by ActionScript, and the storage of that item is dealt with using PHP.

I would like to have vertical tabs in Flex 4. I have started implementing this by having a vertical list down one side. On list selection I am updating the selection index of a view stack. This gives the functionality of vertical tabs.
My problem is the look and feel. How do I get the list to have a similar look and feel to the horizontal tab bar? Is it a case of overriding skins? I have found this post: Flex 4 vertical TabBar
which does implement vertical tabs. My problem with this is that I do not get any text in the tab. I think the problem is that this was originally written for flex 2. I am using flex 4 and am trying to put this component inside a

I am having a problem and hope someone can help. I've created two mc's. One called "mcSkinned" and the other called "mcSkeleton". Each of these mc's has an mc inside of it that acts as the tab (so when the tab is clicked, the focus changes for either mcSkinned or mcSkeleton). The names of the tab mc's are:
mcSkeletonTabBackground
mcSkinnedTabBackground
So this means that mcSkeleton has mcSkeletonTabBackground in it and mcSkinned has mcSkinnedTabBackground in it.I've placed each main mc (mcSkinned and mcSkeleton) on the main scene and added the following code to an "Actions" layer on the timeline:
mcSkeleton.mcSkeletonTabBackground.onPress = function():Void {
mcSkeleton.swapDepths(this.mcSkinned);
};
mcSkinned.mcSkinnedTabBackground.onPress = function():Void {
mcSkinned.swapDepths(this.mcSkeleton);
};
Now, I know that I've done something wrong. Because if it worked, I would not be on here begging for help. Can anyone please let me know how I am screwing this up? have two tabs change depths when clicked on their tabs. I do not want these mc's to be draggable on to change z-depths.

Just learning Flash CS4 and I can't believe you can't create or set tabs in a text object.You can set tabs for editing actionscript, but not in a text object. Are you kidding me? Even wordpad can do this.

I'm building an online app which opens a SharedObject at its onset to do various things, one being remember whether a user has performed a certain action(vote) before because he/she is only permitted to perform this action once. This is all working fine, until our users began opening a new tab before voting.
If the user opens a new tab, and open the same application, this app(tab 2) needs to know if subsequently the user votes in tab 1. I thought this would be straightforward to resolve. However - for some reason, the sharedObject in tab 2 does not seem to update with updates in tab 1... if you were to refresh tab 2, it would have the updates, but while it is open, the data in the sharedobject does not seem to update.
It all works fine in general, the only time it doesn't is when there are two instances of a flash object open at the same time using the shared object. Maybe this is expected behaviour, and two flash objects can not use the same local sharedObject? It's hard to find this info in the livedocs.
This is the sort of code I am using to manage the SharedObject: (I know the first question anyone will have is, are you the flushing the object after setting your variable, the answer is yes!)
// i call this function at the beginning of the app
public function init(sharedObjectName:String):void
{
sharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(sharedObjectName,"/");

I have a site that compiles to Actionscript 2.0 and Flash player 8. This site utilises XML output from ASP.Net driven database pages. The problem I have is basically that where I have some tabstops set, in certain cases, where the text starting from the first tab stop is over a certain length an unwanted line break is output just before the last word in the entry. (I know it's always the last word since if I put another word on the end of the string the word that was originally on the new line is back in it's proper place - so it doesn't appear to be length related).
Effectively, what I want is as follows:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3
header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
What I'm getting is something like this:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3 with a long
description header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
The Xml I am loading is as follows (This has been anonymiezd and the angle brackets changed to '[]')
[?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?]
[config scrollPosition="right" styleSheet=".stylesheetscv.css"]
[text][textformat tabstops = "50,540,590"]:[tab /]T[tab /]T[tab /]T[tab /]:[br /]
[list_by]CV Entries By Date[/list_by]
[Code] .....
There are appropriate closing tags further down the file. The CSS that relates to this is:
headertext {
display: inline;
color: #008000;
} itemheader {
display: inline;
[Code] .....
In order to get the CSS to overide the settings of the dynamic text field I use an empty TextFormat object tFormat. The XML is loaded with ignoreWhite set to true. Or can I not see the wood for the trees?
