I am trying to user Ravis lib for data visualization and the structure of the XML file that Ravis uses is different that what we use in our company. These are as follows:Ravis XML structure:
<Family>
<Node id="1" name="Father" desc="Head of the family" class="HOF"/>
<Node id="2" name="Mother" desc="Wife of Father" class="firstLady"/>

I am trying to import a video in to flash. I have converted it to a flv and used the stream from flash media server option and selected a standard play and stop bar. I have imported it in and it works find when you just select the individual swf that it loads into. The problem im having is that when I go to it through the home page, all the page loads apart from the video. I've tried moving it around, moving where all the assets to the video are etc. I know the file structure is important to this working. I have a main folder called interactive / and in that have a FLA and a SWF folder and the swf and fla home page. Currently I have the the video swf in the swf folder with the flv and the play and stop swf.
View 7 RepliesI seem to run into compile issues in Flash Builder when I import 3rd-party libraries at the wrong level in the directory structure. For example, sometimes I'll import a library one level too deep into its directory tree, and the package explorer ends up excluding the prefix root-level package, usually "com." or "net.". Even though the content of the source itself doesn't change, this will cause compile errors.
Thus: Is it a 1) convention or 2) language requirement that a class's package structure (e.g., "foo.bar.Class") must match its path location (e.g., foo/bar/Class.as)?
If it's a language requirement, why is it a requirement? Wouldn't that overdetermine the package structure, since it is already specified in the source code and quite happily consuming the first three to eight columns of each line? If it's not a language requirement, are my compile errors just a result of Flash Builder enforcing the convention?
I have had to adjust the structure in a XML file and so am trying to adjust my AS accordingly so that it can read it.. but i'm having difficulty as my XML knowledge is only basic.
My new XML structure is:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<music>
<song>
<thumbPath>thumbs/image1.jpg</thumbPath>

I have a large project, and I need to have a complex folder structure separating all my classes, shared libraries, main swf's etc... I understand how to navigate downwards into a file structure for example: Classes.Buttons.ButtonMain How do I navigate upwards though? My shared library is in a seperate folder, so it needs to navigate up one folder, and over to the Classes folder to reference all the classes.

I'm using the code below to allow a user to download a file.The problem I am having is that, if the file is located at/images/english/and I say I want to download it to myDocuments instead of having an images saved in MyDocuments /MyDocuments/1.gif.it creates the same folder structure as the file that was downloaded and saves it here:/MyDocuments/images/english/1.jpg.This isn't the whole code, but I think I included all the stuff relating to downloading files
View 1 RepliesI downloaded the Sothink SWF Decompiler, which allows you to open and view the structure of a .swf file. (the unregistered version limits the amount of actionscript you can view). It even can resave as a .fla file. Does it concern anyone that when you host your Flash code and applictions, it is basically open sourced, whether you want it to be or not?

View 3 Replieshave this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
I am trying to make a swf with one FLV playback player and 6 buttons. I've got 6 different videofiles that I want to have linked to this swf. Some of the videos are quit large.When starting the Swf, the first video has to start, after playing it, it has to stop. Then you must be able to choose which video to play by clicking one of the buttons. I don't want to have small thumbnails of the video, just plain and simple buttons.I have to have all my files, both fla, swf and xml files in the same directory (I cannot have them stored in different folders, since I have to upload this to a cms system which has limited upload properties).
I've tried to find the right script on the internet, I'm not very good at scripting myselve, actually rather poor educated there.It seems to me that I have to make an xml file with a list of all my videos, I have my default swf ready, with a FLVplayback and buttons.Now there's just the coding part....
I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

I have a "movie player" that plays flv files using the code below (videoToPlay is the name of the file to play and is just a string). I want to use the same setup to play an mp3 file also.I tried using mySound = new Sound(); and then mySound.attachNetStream(ns);, but it gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method attachNetStream through a reference with static type flash.media:Sound.

I am doing this so I can rollover the viewing window and have it appear. I cannot get any code to work to control the timeline (which is broken down into sections with individual MC's in each section.
What I am looking for is the code to apply to the buttons on the external swf file that has the controls to control the playing of the movie.
I have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);

View 1 RepliesI am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
i'm trying to play flv file using programming but problem it's only work with only html file.when i play with stand alone SWF File it's not playing flv file? what should i do to run as a stand alone application do i've to desing into Adobe AIR ?

I have a website banner made in Flash. I have added a music file to it and Play and Stop buttons. I also have a Replay button to replay the banner animation once it stops.
I have put the music on a separate frame so that it will not play automatically when the banner loads. I have made the Play button direct to the frame the music is located at so that when clicked, it will go to that frame and play the music file.
The problem I am currently having is that if I click the Play button more than once, it will play the music file again on top of the current play-through.
So if I click Play, the music will play. Then if I click it again, the music will play again, but on top of the first instance of the music, so two instances of it will now be playing and it sounds horrible.
I would like to make it so that if you click Play when the music is playing, it will not play the music again until the music has stopped.
I want to list about ten videoclips (all mov-files) on my webpage and when i put my mouse over a clip it should start playing - when i remove the mouse from the clip, it stops. My idea was to use a swf-file that i can trigger using a URL like this: preview.swf?path=movies/movie1.mov
1. How do make my swf-file aware of the URL and then play the right file?
2. When the mouse is not over any videoclip i would like have the first frame of the mov-file shown - is this possible or do i need to make screenshots from all the mov-files then?
I have a slash template that I will be inserting video into, the template is set up for a .flv file ? what would I change in Dreamweaver or Coda to edit this file so that it can play video with a .swf file instead of a .flv file? here is the template
<dat video="dat/Images/Folio/video.jpg" title="sample" des="video samples" flvPath="dat/Videos/test.flv"/>
I want to change this to test.swf instead of test.flv
but how do you play a .swf file in a .swf file? Would it be better if I were have it as an external or embeded? Would it require AS or would it be able to play just fine without it?

View 3 RepliesI'm not sure if this is technically a web service or not but I have a Flash file that periodically needs to make a round trip to a DB. As it stands, AS3 uses the URLLoader class to exchange XML with an ASP.NET/VB file on the server. The aspx code then goes to the DB and returns whatever information is requested back to the Flash file.As my program grows and I need to execute a larger variety of tasks on the server, I'm wondering if I should just keep placing functions in that same aspx file and specify in AS3 which function I should load for any given task. OR, is it better to break up my functionality into several different aspx files and call the appropriate file for the task?Are there any obvious pros and cons to either method that I should consider?
View 1 RepliesI have a XML file with images and tags which should be loaded into movieclips.The tags are separated in maintags and normal tags.

I am editing a free template and I have a problem. The original free template (175 Photo Gallery by flashmo.com) has 6 frames; 3 galleries, 2 "text pages" and a contact us form. I want to have 5 galleries and the contact us form.I copy-paste the actions and structure of the galleries on the "text pages" and edit this 2 new actions to link to the new gallery file (in this case the number 4): Code:flashmo_gallery03.load_gallery("flashmo_175_photo_list_04.xml");The problem is, I assume you have seen it already, is that the action to gallery 4 is linked to gallery 3, since no gallery 4 and 5 exists in the structure of the site.I have noticed that the .as file that controls the frames is a "pagecontect_8.as" file (thx to Trillix decompiler) that I assume is internal. The original code is:
Code:
//class pagecontents_8
package flashmo_175_photo_gallery_fla
