I'm working on my lil' MP3 webplayer and found out that the ID3 tags aren't being read when loading MP3 files while the SWF file of the player is embedded on the webpage. When testing the SWF in Flash CS3, the ID3 tags are being read immediately. I suppose it has nothing to do with the MP3 files, nor them being dynamic.It's created in Flash CS3, exported for Flash Player 8 and AS2.What seems to be the problem, mates?[URL]
View 3 Replies1) If you have various instances of the player on the same page, would I be correct to assume that there is nothing in place to make sure that only one instance is playing at the same time? if so is there a way round this?
2) How would you go about reading from a dynamically created playlist? say for example for use in a record shop where each record has 2-10 tracks but records are being pulled from database.
Or would it be best to pull playlist directly from the database?
I'm new to flash and maybe I'm just missing the obvious.I have the following XML code:
<item1>
<height1>
<width800>60 </width800>

I have HTML file, I changed its extension to .XML.I'd like to convert HTML tags to valid XML document using AS3.
View 6 RepliesI am changing the flashvars variables v1=value&v2=value ect then after the flash movie runs I am changing the variables externally by javascript, so far so good.when flash first loads it reads the vars correctly.when I try to read them ( after the change ) it keeps reading the old values.[code]everything works except I cannot seem to read the changed FlashVars.

I have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.
first, I need to show an <hr/> tag after the description, its an rss widget so need to seperate with each rss post with a border or hr. Its not possible to make it manually because its came from xml. I'll give you the existing script with me.
second, I need to add utm tag after the urls to trace the clicks, this is actually I need to add after the links 'utm_source=rsswidget', you'll get an idea by seeing the script below
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void

I have a master page that gets all its images from a table on a database, and I am trying to incorporate flash, for banners, but I can't quite seem to figure it out.Right now there is a:
<asp:image id="headerimg" runat="server"> and that generates the appropriate img tag needed to show an image in html. Now I would like to know if there is any way where I can generate an object tag if a .swf file is present and populate the tag with width height and data and also not show the img tag.
I now have made a usercontrol that will create the object tag, but can someone please tell me if it is looking like I am doing it right..

View 3 RepliesI have an XML document that contains CDATA nodes with <BR> tags. I'm importing the XML and displaying it in a text box, but unfortunately the text box is actually displaying the <BR> tags, rather than inserting line breaks. I've set the text box to "Render text as HTML", and I've applied the XML data through htmlText, but it's still not working. If I insert text into the text box manually it will render as HTML, as in:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = "Testing...<br>Testing...";
But if I apply the XML node, it just displays the <BR> tags, like this:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
I've included a .zip attachment that contains a sample .xml and .fla file that illustrates the issue I'm having.
I'm tryng to remove xml tags from the data that is imported to the stage. Tryed many different ways but all get me errors. How to it in the right way? Right now everything from the xml file shows up, but i want it to show only text between title and kirjeldus tags.[code]
View 9 RepliesI have a MP3 player I built that works fine.But I would like to make it more dynamic for a client. I have it set up now so that Flash reads the XML for the title, url, and artist. would like to have it so that a client can literally just put new songs into a designated folder, the ID# info will be read and displayed, and the song will play.
I have considered setting up the XML with 10 tags just preset with links to MP3 files names 1-10, and have the client just rename them 1-10 before putting them into the folder. But still I am yet to find a tutorial on how to have the XML actually read the ID3. Everything I have found is for the Flash to read it, or you have to enter it manually into the XML.
I have also found a few examples of using PHP instead of XML, but in these examples still, you have to enter the info manually. Basically i just want a dynamic MP3 player that will update whenever new music is added to the folder, and thats it.No PHP, Flash, or XML updating.

I'm trying to create a simple news scroller. The scrollers is no problem, but I'm not good with XML. I am able to display a simple text in an .swf file with some AS code and an XML file. The problem is that I want to be able to display an number of sentences with the same tags. I want to have some AS code that checks if I have more of the same tags and then displays al of the scentences. I don't want to use several dynamic textfields, I just want to use one, cause it's easier and faster to edit the text.
This is the code I use in the .swf:
Code:
function loadXMLTB(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.datum = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

This is a typewriter effect but i need the XML to also read and render HTML. right now it just types out normal text and if you insert HTML it types out the HTML instead of actually rendering it.I need to insert a small image after every item in the XML.

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

View 4 RepliesIn my project I have some xml I've embedded and am now parsing.
Here's an example of xml I have.
HTML Code:
<use>
<player>
<add var="health">2</add>

I guess I could just change the names of them in my XML but their must be a workaround. I could potentially not have control over the file and then I'd be screwed.
Code:
TextField.appendText()
instead of
Code:
TextField.htmlText+=..
but I can't get it working when I use html tags in my strings. For instance:
Code:
tField.htmlText +="<TEXTFORMAT LEFTMARGIN='14' LEADING='3'><FONT FACE='MetaPlusBold-Roman' SIZE='12.5' COLOR='#D9098C'>" +xml.*.@*[i].toString()+"<BR>"+ "</FONT></TEXTFORMAT>";
doesn't show the text.

Ultimately, I would like to use the data from the combo box to find/reference the information contained in the Brand tags so I can display the information in the remaining tags (stuf1, stuf2, stuf3 & stuf4) in separate text fields.

View 1 RepliesI want to be able to get the ID3 data tags from the mp3 that has been loaded into the soundChannel.

View 3 Repliesin the attachment, you'll see the text display is quite awful despite the fact I embed Arial font in my application.
View 2 RepliesI have several paragraphs of text that is using the scrollBar component to give me some scrollability that part works fine. I also have the "render text as html" box checked because I have some HTML formatting going on. Anyway, all of a sudden the published SWF file started ignoring the bold tags <b>. It used to work fine. Now, anywhere that I have text surrounded by <b> HTML tags, it just omits that portion of my copy once the file is published. When I change the tags to <strong>, the text comes back, but in a normal font both with the fonts embedded and without ... neither makes a difference with this issue. I've also tried checking and unchecking the "render text as html" box and that doesn't seem to make a difference. Has this bold tag become deprecated? I'm having difficulty get a font to display as bold.

First, I'm having issues with loading ID3 tags. I can load the tags of the file currently playing, but how could you load the tags for a playlist that is selectable? The MP3 player runs on an XML file that holds the URLs to the MP3 files themselves. All other information is extracted from the ID3 tags. Do you have to load all of the MP3 files to get at their tags? Or can you JUST load the tags themselves? Will it slow down your stream? Etc...how best to build a playlist from ID3 tags.
Second, I'm having issues with the playlist buttons themselves. I need to build dynamic-text buttons that, upon clicking, will play that file. The play-on-click functionality I can do...but I can't seem to make them "clickable."
Basically, I have a XML file similar to:
<Main><Event><Name>Blah</Name>
<Event><Name>Blah2</Name><Event>
<Name>Blah3</Name>
...
</Event></Event></Event></Main>
Yeah, to some extent it's poor design. But the idea I'm going for is that any Event has the potential to compromise of other Events and this idea kinda loops. How to do this?
Suppose I have the following XML:var foo:XML = <root><a>this is a <b>special</b> case</a></root>
Is there any way to detect the position of <b> relative to the contents of <a> without a custom subparser?
I'm trying to load some XML into flash to populate some dynamic text fields. The problem I have is that some of the xml tags seem to be ignored by flash.Here's the XML I'm loading:
