Is there a way once a flash site is live, that my client can change the text or even the images? Even if it's by uploading to the server? If perhaps they were all predetermined in size ect.? Similar to how HTML calls images from a folder located on the server. I'm guessing something to do with PHP? Touching upon this briefly so understand flash uses PHP to communcate outside of the swf file to complete certain tasks.

View 1 RepliesBasically I have a photography site that I update regularly with client images and new information, but me and flash doesn't exactly get on! I bought a flash template and have spent about a month fiddling about and slowly learning how flash works, and my knowledge of flash (non-existant) has shot up dramatically, but there are still things that baffle me. Is there any way of having an area on the page which looks at an XML for the information - text in some cases and photographs in another? How to layout the xml.

View 2 RepliesI've got a system that loads in little avatar images. When the avatar is loaded in I resize it to 24x24.
Here's some ActionScript Code:
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest( String(playerInfo.vector.scalar.(@id == "AvatarURL")) );
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, resizeAvatar);
ldr.load(urlReq);
avatar.addChild(ldr);
container.addChild(avatar);
Here is the resizeAvatar function...
ActionScript Code:
// Resizes the avatar to fit correctly
public function resizeAvatar( e:Event ):void {
e.target.content.width = 24;
e.target.content.height = 24;
e.target.content.smoothing = true;
}
Now I'm using the e.target.content item because as far as I can see that's the only way to get at a way or resizing the image dynamically (using an Array isn't an option). Here's the funny part, the above code works perfectly in the Flash IDE but when on a live site that Event.COMPLETE is not calling!? The image is loading in but it never gets resized.
I am brand new to flash and AS3, and everything else code related. I've built a simple file with text and audio. The audio is an external file, and it plays with a mouse click. Everything tests fine in flash. I also placed the file in Dreamweaver and previewed in a browser - that's working. But... I've now uploaded the file to a live site. The text shows up but it doesn't play.

View 9 RepliesI try to create a dynamic web gallery in flash that feeds it's content from a XML DB, so it's easy to update and maintain the gallery (right?!). What I have, is the gallery specs in the flash movie itself:
// container dimensions
// is that even necessary?
movieW = 650;
movieH = 600;
[code]....
and then the gallery process - so how can I subsitute this for a XML DB?
Have an XML that holds variables in place of hard-coded values. Then create a Flash app that will populate the XML to be used via Flash app.Currently...I have a Flash app that brings in XML data, but we have to manually put in the data into the XML file. I would like to create another app that will allow people who don't want to get into the XML file to be able to input that data into a Flash GUI and click on a 'submit' button that will populate the XML file automatically.

Firstly i am not sure if this is the correct forum, basically i have updated my flash movie on my website, and the updates have taken effect in mozilla and google chrome, however in IE 7 & 8 the old flash movie still displays. I get this is down to the cache and i have tried several code snippets to correct this but nothing seems to make a difference.Is there anything that i can do with the flash code to force the browsers to reload the the movie each time they visit?
View 2 RepliesI have external as3 classes but when I edit something like content_txt.text = 'something else' it doesn't even change on the flash app on the server.
Even when I change the background color of my flash app, republish it and put in on the server to replace the old one. Still the old one is displayed.
How can I get around this? cause it's very frustrating to learn and develop stuff that won't cooperate. I'm trying to have facebook integration if anyone's asking.
I have a dynamic textfield on my stage with the instance name trackText.
I have declared public var trackText:TextField;.
When I trace trackText.text it gives me exactly what I expect but the actual text on the stage does not update.
public var trackText:TextField;
trackText.text = audioPlayer.currentSong.title;
trace("trackText = " + trackText.text);
// gives me what i expect "track 1" etc..
but the text on the stage still says "loading..."
I have a flash slideshow that has buttons at the bottom..when one of the images is displaying, it sets the buttons to load a webpage, when the next images load, the buttons are set to load a different website. I am using an external actionscript file for the links. However, after I publish the flash file, then when I go to change the links in the flash file by opening in notepad, changing the link, then saving it as the same file name, when I run the .swf it doesn't update the link that it is supposed to go to when you click on a button.
View 5 RepliesI'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5? I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions. I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D.
I have an interface with two textfields and a combobox or a list. I want a user to be able to select a subject in the combobox and to input information in the two text fields. Once the user hits the send button, I want the input information appended to an existing XML file. Depending on the selction in the dropdown menu it should be appended to a specific node in the XML.
View 2 RepliesI'll start off by saying that I'm new to Flash. I'm using the CS5 Web Premium suite and want to publish an updated version of a Flash movie that contains PhotoShop files which I've recently modified. Unfortunately, when I open the .FLA file in Flash Professional CS5, it's not apparent to me how to do this. I don't see the PhotoShop files anywhere in the Library pane and thus can't figure out a way to update the Flash movie to recognize my newly modified .PSD files.

Damndest thing. Every once in a while, I'll make a change to some part of my Flash application, while working in Flash Builder 4, and when I click Debug Play, it starts running with the old code and the old variables, even though the code I'm looking at in the code window is the new, changed code. I can still advance step by step, but the advances don't align with the new code. They seem to be aligning with the old, not visible code. I can eliminate variables entirely, save, build clean, and when I run, it still shows the old variables in the Variables window. As I can not find any mention of this on the Internet, I logically conclude that this is some ancient curse directed solely at me.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a modular site, that loads in external swfs that need to have decent screen reader names for each of the buttons.
The shell swf is set up to work with Thunder and NVDA screen readers by creating an AccessiblityProperties instance and assigning it to the relevent display objects then calling Accessibility.updateProperties( ) ; This method works in the main swf, but when used in the loaded swf it's not picking up the updated accessibility properties of the buttons, even though Accessibiltiyy.updateProperties( ) ; as been called again.

it doesn't change. That line is in my Main.as file, which is the document class. How can I change the text shown in this text area using ActionScript? Maybe I need to import a library?
