Professional :: Feeding Slideshow From An External File
Jun 29, 2010
A client is asking for a slideshow to embed into a web page. The slideshow will have a thumbnail bar with arrows on either side to switch to the next or previous batch of thumbnails.This slideshow needs to be linked to an external file that will contain pictures submitted by visitors to the site. The pictures will automatically generate thumbnails that will call a large version of the image when clicked on.My current knowledge about flash and AS3 coding does not enable me to do this. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not possible at all. It sounds like something that needs to be handled by a content management system.

I have a flash CS3 slideshow that loads it's content from an external .xml file. If I export the HTML it plays fine, but if I move the HTML to the site root directory (just outside the directory with the .swf file), and let dreamweaver update the links the flash slideshow will not play. my site is at: [URL] the flash with the .xml is in [URL]

So me and a friend have recently found ourselves as contributers to an upcoming student exhibition at our university.We have decided to run a project we call "Live Journal"; the idea is that it takes a large group of blogs and online journals and reformats the content into an old fashion letter/journal before projecting them for the viewer (and updating every 10 or so seconds). My friend is organizing the space and presentation and i'm stuck with all that lovely coding!

I have 1 swf file which generated through 3rd party tool.Now I want to embed this file into empty flash file and want to save as new, I tried with following options,
1) import option ( File > Import ) but it is importing only Images and symbols. I want my original file as it in new file.
2) loader.load(), but this will load my external file at runtime only and to work smoothly it require both the files.
I want same but in design time, so I can add some extra functionality to it.Is it possible to embed external swf file as it is in new flash file in CS4?

I have purchased an image gallery program that works fine but I am struggling to make a very minor modification. I have asked the author for assistance but previous requests have met with no response so I am also asking my question here. This program has most of its logic in an external AS2 file. I have made some small changes to this file and want to save it under a new name. However, that would also require me to change the reference to the external AS2 file from within the fla file. That's where my problem lies. I can't find any code in the fla that contains such a reference.
If I try to publish an swf without this file in the required location it causes a compiler error thus proving that there must be a reference somewhere to that file. However, doing a search for this AS2 file in the 'current document' when viewing the fla file in Flash CS4 produces no results. Where else could this reference be hidden?

I have created a Flash Demo in AS3. I simply need to use the swf file to demonstrate a workflow. The file plays perfectly on my computer however when I sent it to my team, the content was replaced with 5 moving grey dots.The publish settings are at Flash Player 10. My team all have flash player 10 but no cigar.

i was commissioned to animate .swf that will run in a loop in the background of a website, but when certain buttons are pressed it triggers elements in the loop. The loop is 199 frames and loops seamlessly, but the problem im having is how to navigate through the timeline without it skipping frames in the loop, so that the new elements that enter into the scene are in sync with the rest of the moving parts.
The way i have planned on doing it is setting it up so that on frame 199 it jumps back to frame 1, then when the button is clicked it will carry on playing until the end of the 199 frames and the move on to frame 200 where it will play the loop with the new elements in.

I am pulling in some lyrics from an xml file, and Im wanting to store them in an array, so I can access them from time to time, after the initial xml code has been fired.
Code:
var lyrics:Array = new Array();
var lyricNum:Number;
function getLyrics(xmlData)
{
[code]....
trace(lyrics);//this won't pick up the array - Why when I have placed my variable outside of the for loop in the root code!?I have laid my case in the code where the traces reside.why I cant access the array after the for loop has been processed - it says it is undefined.

This is part of my ongoing issue with 6 video files in six Scenes.I have 6 videos there were imported as enbedded, one in each scene. the first four play but the second two do not.whichever order i place the scenes, it is always the last two that pause at the first frame.o try another approach, I linked instead to a video externally. This seems to work, but, when I click a button to go to another scene the audio from the previous scene is still playing when the new video starts.

I have figured out how to load an external video file - and I can play an imported audio file, but I can't seem to use either method to load an external audio file into an array.
Here is my audio code:
var tour_audio:Array = [tour1, tour2];
var my_num:Number= Math.floor(Math.random()*2);
var ChosenSound = tour_audio[my_num];
var playing:Sound = new ChosenSound();
playing.play();
Here is my video code:
var my_videos:Array=new Array ("link1.mp4", " link2.mp4", " link3.mp4", " link4.mp4");
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*my_videos.length);
my_player.source = my_videos[randomIndex];
I tried "var tour_audio:Array = ["link1.mp3", "link2.np3"]; - but that did not work.

Here's my problem. I currently have a Flash banner on my website that displays artwork I have made. However, it currently just shows jpegs that are embedded into the Flash file. Is there a way that I can set up a directory in my domain and just have the flash file pull these external images, at random to display? Also, it should be noted that it shouldn't pull the same image twice. That would look silly I would make the files all the correct resolution and size, so resizing is not an issue. I know you can do this sort of thing with javascript, but I want more control and a more stylish appearance.

i am working on a flash portfolio that is supposed to be fed from a MySQL database. Until early today everything worked just fine, but then i had to change the structure of my database. initially i had just 2 tables, news and work... now i added links, photo, digital etc, and dropped work. and it just doesn't work anymore... it's strange as i did nothing to the news section for example...
i have included the fla, the php scripts that send the XML to flash as well as a query of my database in the following zip archive..[URL]..

I'm building a realtime action multiplayer game in Flash which is using too much bandwidth because it sends message objects as XML (as required by the Smartfox server). I'm now trying to cut down on that by serializing my objects to strings before feeding them to Smartfox. I've tried JSON but it doesn't work. Is there another serialization method that is compacter, for example that encodes numbers in Base64 instead of decimals? I don't care about human-readability in this case.

I'm using the Halo AdvancedDataGrid component, in which the default itemEditor for each column is mx.controls.TextInput.
For example, the data provider is:
[CODE][Bindable][code]............
If a String from the dataprovider Array is preceded by an asterisk - as is the case for banana in this example - the String needs to be surrounded by square brackets and be displayed in a grey colour.
I tried to do the following: [CODE]
A colleague told me about using the AdvancedDataGridColumn's labelFunction attribute. I tried that but was unable to do the following assignment (the id of the column is 'tag'):
[CODE]tag.itemEditor.htmlText = formattedText;[/CODE]
I get error "Access of possibly undefined property htmlText through a reference with static type mx.core:IFactory.I tried to both explicitly extract the TextInput itemEditor (like I did for the override set data) AND use the labelFunction, but I couldn't get both to be in the correct scopes.
