I think that you can do this using html but if you have a PDF in your root directory will Flash be able to link to bookmarked pages in that document?

View 2 Repliesim trying to pull .swf files from MySQL by using PHP, ive set everything in the database up with an ID and licked it properly. Im not sure if the 'type' has to be anything special, right now its just a 'VARCHAR' and when altering the javascript part of it that that flash automatically generated-- in the i tried to echo it out by putting it in the value like
< param name="movie" value="<?php echo $row['video_path']; ?>" />
How do I pull in flashvars in flash. I have a html form with variables with 5 fields.
View 2 RepliesI downloaded a flash spread gallery [URL]which uses a xml file to designate the pics to be used. It is very cool but it is kind of a pain as I have to manually type each pic name in the xml file. Is there a way that I can modify either the xml or the fla to just pull the pics from a folder? Maybe two folders one for the pics and one for the thumbs?
I would like to just dump a bunch of pics in a folder and their thumbs in another and have it automatically just post them.Attached is the fla and the xml (and a .js file) zipped.flashmo_185_spread_gallery.flaflashmo_185_photo_list.zip
Is it possible to embed code into a flash swf that pulls the system date and if it is greater then a hardcoded date, the file will stop playing, quit or abort playing, or just jump to the end of the swf?
View 1 RepliesI have a bit of code here that pulls, at random, 50 images from a file and pushes them into an array. I now need to pull, at random, 350 times from the array. I'm using a timer in place of the for loop to grab the images from the array. My code works fine as long as I do not use an array and I loop the images straight from the file. But that's very slow and bad form. I think I can do everything except the .load of the array. I can't seem to make it work. I'm getting errors that say "#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" or "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type flash.net:URLRequest". I think I get the point of these messages, but I cannot seem to figure out how to pull the URLRequests back out of the array.
var imgLoader:Loader;
var imgSource:URLRequest;
var imgArrayer:Array = new Array();[code]......
Is there any way to pull down the source code for a page using actionscript 3?
For example, it goes to google.com and downloads the source code for it, then stores it in an array or string. Would URLdownloader work?
How could one do this?

I am doing a project that consists of AS3 in flash an importing an external xml data that will populate dynamic data in text fields in my flash project. The xml is all ready set up (pre existing) data. The structure of the XML Code looks like this:
<GlobalDynamicData xmlns:xsi"[URL]">
<schema version 1.0.0>version 1</schemaversion>
<DynamicDataFields>
<DynamicDataField>
<DataField> AlertOn</DataField>
<DataValue>0</DataValue
[Code] .....
which works fine,
My question to everyone is How do tell flash to pull specific dynamic data if all the datafields are exactly the same... I would think all data fields that are named have to be diffrent so when you script the code you are telling flash to go to that data source and pull from that record. If you have the same naming convention how does flash know which one to pull from if they all have the same name..
find the code to pull some simple text from an external website's RSS feed into a basic text box in a Flash movie. It would need to be in AS2 to fit with the website. I understand I need to pull the content via an xml / php page under my own domain in order to get around the Flash security, but I still can't scrape together the right code for it to work.

I have an XML file using CDATA and trying to pull my image in. Ex:
Code:
<ingredients><![CDATA[<img src="test.jpg" width="304" height="466" align="right" />Ingredients: Water, Carrots, Celery, ....
My text field has all the ingredients it needs in order to pull this image in i.e. multiline, render as html etc.
When I compile my swf I can see that the text moves up and it looks like the image wants to be pulled in and yet it doesn't show.
Things I have tried: Variatons of the file. PNG, JPG, GIF Moved the file into the same folder as the XML file
is there a simple way to just pull back a true or false value from an associated javascript file to a flash file? here is what i have:
Code:
var bincheck:Boolean = fscommand("eval", "parent.check_bins(\'"+img+"\')");
if (!bincheck){return false;}
return true;
check_bins(img) is a function in my javascript file that simply iterates through an array, returning false if "img" is found. im simply trying to get the true or false value back into flash, but its not proving that simple. i added a couple alerts so that i could see what the "bincheck" value was, and i keep getting an 'undefined' value for "bincheck" in flash.

I'm trying to create a pull down menu. Not one that drops down when rolled over but one that drops down when clicked and stays down until an item is selected. Once an item is selected or the menu is clicked out of it retracks again.
My strategy is to create a movie clip for the initial menu that when clicked jumps to another movie clip where ther menu is extracted and houses movie clip buttons that hightlight when rolled over and when clicked redirect to another movie clip related to the button that was selected.
is this the proper way to do this? And second: can you offer some direction for the action script?
EDIT: New problem, post #5 Say I have a flash website made, and to allow for minor information changes to be easily made by someone without flash, they can simply open, edit, and reupload to the webserver a text file that contains that page's info.So, how can I have flash pull text from a file, and always do that every time it's ran (ie, not have to republish a new swf)?
View 4 RepliesI have a script that always returns iframe HTML back to flash. I was looking to get help on how to build some RegEx code to only find the URL. I would only like this substring so I can use it in another script.Here is the iframe code the I want to search for and return the substring:
HTML Code:
<iframe SCROLLING="no" id="myFr" style="width:660px; height:500px; border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px; overflow:hidden" src="http://www.blabla.net/sdsdsd/?ut=wecsdsd&lang=EN"></iframe>
This is then best O could come up with but unfortunately.... it returns src=" too.
ActionScript Code:
private var _findTheURL:RegExp = /src=u0022(.*)u0022/i;
In CS4, using AS 2.0, I'm using loadMovie to pull in different ads (swfs).This is working great, but one swf is not getting along. It was coded in AS 3.0, and some content beneath masks is not displaying correctly.I obtained the original fla file, but still can't come up with a solution.I tried setting it to 2.0, but then none of the AS works.I don't know Actionscript very well so rewriting the ad's functions is not an option.convert the swf I'm trying to load in? Or an alternative to loadMovie in 2.0?
View 3 RepliesI am using flash CS4, AS2 and have had a client request for something that I'm not sure is possible.
I have created a calculator that calculates the cost savings that my client offers their customers. There are many options available in the calculator and it is quite in depth. At one point there is a pull down menu where the site visitor can choose their product, then enter the amount they pay for it currently. If their product is not listed, the site visitor can choose "other" from the list.
Is it possible that when the client selects "other", the text IN the pull down component for that option could be dynamic, so that the site visitor can enter the name of their product? The product they enter does not need to be submitted anywhere, nor does it need to remain upon that visitor's next visit. It simply needs to be there for the duration of their current session, to help the client keep track of what product they are comparing.
I just started making some simple banners for web sites. I got a new one to do this morning, and I was asked to make a button that says drag/pull here. as you drag/pull down, it reveals the layer below it. Also, as the button reaches halfway, it needs to go all the way automatically as well, so the users don't have to drag all the way down themselves. Is that something I need to do in actionscript
View 3 Replieshow to go about searching for this since I don't know the terms used for it. I am trying to make an interface to use on a website that would have to pull up images and text with no preloading. Think of an online encyclopedia; you put in a word and it pulls up the object/animal/etc with a description. I am looking at needing to pull up thousands of different things; hence the no preloading.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 as my IDE with Actionscript 3 and Flash Player 10. I'm working on a bigger project but the area I'm struggling in is dynamically pulling an image from the flash library (already loaded). I've been finding the same answers to my question all over and they seem to keep producing the same error so apparently I'm just not getting some little detail. I have an image loaded in the library called test1.jpg. I've right clicked on it and selected 'Export for ActionScript' and 'Export in frame 1'. The class is 'MyMc' and the Base class is 'flash.display.BitmapData'. My code is attached.
and it produces the following errors:
