I heard from an article somewhere that Flash can now use SharePoint lists instead of an XML file.
However, I'm having trouble locating a tutorial which will explain how to get a Flash app to draw from a SharePoint list.
I'm working with SharePoint 2010, Flash CS4, and I'm currently using AS3 to pull in data from the XML file on the Flash app.
how to pass variables from flash to a SharePoint list? (a step-by-step of the entire process would be best)
View 0 RepliesI have been trying to find a way to connect Flex to sharepoint in an elegant way that allows me to update lists, build charts, and create widgets with FLEX on the client-side. I have researched this extensively but I am running into circles.
I understand the basics of Flex data connection/webservices/etc... , I just can't seem to get my head around how to use the sharepoint list services.
Is there any way to get the sum of items based on some filters from sharepoint list? I was trying to access the GetListItems method. But this returns all the items in the list. That makes the data heavy. My requirement is to get only the sum of items. For example items created in a specific year.I am trying to populate a chart in flex from the sharepoint list. Accessing all the items and then calculating the sum in flex will not work always where the list contains more items.

i developed a short movie in actionscript 2.0 with all of the AS is in one frame, and i chose "loop" under publish settings. the swf file has been added to a web part on my sharepoint site, but the movie will not loop. how can i get it to loop infinitely? is there AS that i can add for this? or does some coding need to be added to the aspx file?
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).
As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard.Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site.
We would like to display flash video files (tutorials) on our Sharepoint site.Problem is, we cannot seem to either stop it from auto-playing (using the Windows Media Player) or start it playing by clicking (using flash embed).We have a Content Editor WebPart with this code currently:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" id="Tutorial1" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="video.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
[code]....
how we can get a "play" button or begin the video playing once the user clicks it?
It loads an xml file from the site's webservice and retrieves all the data from a list.If you look at the xml, attribuevalue pairs they can be in any order from the webservice.Also depending on the list set up in sharepoint the column names in the list will be different and therefore the xml schema changes. It sets up the namespacesit the calls getRSAttribues (my shiney new piece of code It then creates a multidimensional array with the attribute names from the schema of the XML then queries the data with the dynamically set up attributes.Its my first bit of action script and i would like some advice on how to improve the getRSAttribues function as the array seems to have an extra level to it. Any advice on how i would go about making it into a method or a parser/class/whatever would be very interesting.

I am trying to read XML data from a SharePoint site. The issue I am having is that the flash project works just fine when I preview the swf in flash, however when I try to view it in HTML it does not load the XML file.Now the XML file is not a simple document that can live in the same folder as the swf. I have to use a link to a web page. This is the code that I am using (sorry. had to change the web address)
Actionscript Code:
var testXML:XML = new XML();testXML.ignoreWhite = true;testXML.onLoad = function(success) if (!success) { trace("testXML did not load"); } else {

I'm creating a Flash game that will be placed in a Sharepoint page. Is there a way to export data from the Flash game (ex: the user's score) to a different Sharepoint page? I'd like to display the high scores of different players in Sharepoint. Note: I'm using ActionScript 2.0 So here is the sequence of events... Player completes Flash game embedded in a Sharepoint page Flash exports player's score to Sharepoint database
Second Sharepoint page displays top ten player scores from database.
I'm a complete newbie to SharePoint and I've been tasked to develop a SharePoint site with Flash content (Flash CS3 or CS5). I've done some quick research on this and I understand there are different ways to query SharePoint. I must say it's been a long process for me to try to piece different bits of information to achieve what I'm asked to do.
So here it is. Develop a site using SharePoint 2007 with Flash content.User input in the Flash objects will be stored.Previous user input will be retrieved and displayed in the Flash objects for reviewing purpose.User input will later be processed/manipulated for reporting purposes.Embed FLV videos on certain pages. I understand data can be saved as lists in SharePoint and you can create custom ASPX to get the lists and parse it as XML input for a Flash object. Can I reverse this process when it comes to saving data?
What would be the best approach to implement the above requirements in SharePoint 2007 environment?
Or, should I consider saving data in an external DB, say MSSQL, and having custom ASPX query that DB and generate XML for Flash objects? Or maybe any APIs that can make this process easier?
When a user selects a category from the first drop down box then i want the 2nd drop down to be updated based on the selection of the first drop down. I have created multiple ArrayCollections whose names are set to the "data" values of the first drop down, for instance:

public var countries:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{label:"USA",data:"USA"},

I've been tasked with producing a Flash movie which will retrieve (presumably as an array) a list of all the articles in our Sharepoint Portal 2003 news listing, and display the title and abstract text, one story at a time (looping through every item in
the array).
I presume I need to use the WebServiceConnector, and point the WDSL URL to our Area's areaservice.amsx, and then presumably use the GetAreaListingData operation to retireve the data, and hopefully pipe the data out into a couple of dynamic text boxes,but beyond that I'm a bit lost. Talk about in at the deep end, but unfortunately as the only developer on site who knows anything at all about Flash, I'm up against it to get this completed as quickly as possible..
Is there a way to make a bulleted list in flash with custom bullets? If so, can this be used from within a TextArea in Flex (mx.controls.TextArea) when setting htmlText?
For example:
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
The list above will render fine when set into a TextArea using htmlText (versus just setting the text property). The rendered text will have standard vanilla bullets. Is there a way to style these bullets with custom images, like you can in standard HTML/CSS?

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

View 1 RepliesHow do I make a button created in CS4 flash open another page in my website?
I created the button in flash cs4 with a static state and a pulsing state on "Over" and "down" that works fine. I tried adding the following action to the button>
on (press) {getURL("aboutus.html?include=contact","_self");}
but nothing happens when I view it in live view. and all the pages exsist in the file. (Using Dreamweaver CS4 to build webpages.)
I know it can be done in papevision[URL]...html but I'd like to be able to do it just using Flash's 3D functionality. I'm aware that its more 2.5D but was wondering if anybody knew how to create a situation can view it with 3D glasses (red and blue)

I am deploying a flex application in sharepoint as a web part. I am planning to use sharepoint user credentials for my flex application. My flex application consists of various different user roles like author,reviewer etc . An author should be able to see all the list of sharepoint users available and can make any number of them as reviewer or author . For this I require following functionality through sharepoint for my flex application:-
1) Getting list of all users of sharepoint
2) Getting the username of the current logged in user of sharepoint through the flex application, which is deployed as a web part in sharepoint.
