Asp.net :: Use Flash To Save And Read Data Within A SharePoint Site?
Nov 21, 2011
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?
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 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.
I have a flash site, where when a user clicks on a link the page does not reload but the content changes with flash(like any normal flash site). So for example if user click on products page, the product page content is displayed, and the url in the address bar also changes from "domainname/index.aspx" to "domainname/index.aspx#/products"
I need to get this url from the address bar, and if i use "window.location.href" it returns "domainname/index.aspx". Does anyone know whether it is possible to read the url from the address bar which is changed by the flash.
I need to publish it to web so if you go url... you see my flash website (I'm using Flash CS5).I heard from somewhere I need Dreamweaver, also, to publish a site made in Flash to the web.
Is it possible to read/write data to and from Access with Flash in a offline format? I need to create a stand alone system that users can log into and pull information from - but it will not be networked or have any sort of internet connection.
I know there are sites out there when you log on to their account they can play swf games or otherwise flash games on the site so whenever they go to another computer they can continue their progress without restarting just by logging onto their account.
I see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as.flashsoundmuz.wav I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file. I tried doing a search to look for the muz.wav file in my computer but it could not be found. Does anyone know how I can find and save this file?
I write a simple xml code, and I try to read the xml file into flash, but I got "undefined" in my output.The codes are as following. Do you know how to sove the problem?[code]...
How can I read embedded text inside Flash?For example, on this website there are results of games in flash format ("Chelsea - Liverpool 0-0").How to get "Chelsea - Liverpool 0-0" from there?
I want to create a flash swf file that will store a token in Local Shared Object. What do I need to do to read that token and look it up in the database on the back end? Is this possible at all?
here is a possible scenario:
User visits my web page A token is generated on the server and stored in the database Token is then saved in LSO User leaves the site (maybe shuts down his computer) and comes back later Token is read, located in the database and the user is recognized (lets say that token is a foreign key that links to other user data stored in the db)
I researched this for quite a while and all I find is that flash can use LSO to store read data for flash movie... Does this mean that the data can not be accessed by the server?
I need to read data from a file after a user has selected a file using a file browser, for a Flex web app (NOT AIR). I know this is possible in Flash 10 using the FileReference class load and data methods. But using Flash 10 is not an option for me. So does anyone know of anyway I can do this in Flash 9?
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:
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.
Code: var myXML:XML = new XML(); var XML_URL:String = "http://my.website.com/subsite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?
I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:
I did small program on which the user will type some data into array which should be later on saved onto server or to local machine as an xml file. Now I know that flash cannot save files on its own and it would probably need some php script or something. I've never worked with php and to tell the truth i couldn't fine any articles about this topic. Are there some examples that you can show me the way with??
I have an AS3 document with roughly 200 individual elements I'm trying to save to the database. I just need to saved information about their physical properties on the stage.There are many ways to do this, but what is the recommended approach?
I m in between of my flash application. Actually its a MP3 player where MP3 files are dynamically loading in flash. I have to put a counter (total no. of times mp3 has played).
Can u please guide me how can I store this dynamic value in xml or atleast tell me how to save data in xml through flash actionscript.
I am wondering if it is possible to get the data that is stored in a shape/graphics object in flash using actionscript 3?
In my project I would like to be able to draw a shape and then read all the points in that shape into my script. The reason for that is that I need go generate lines from those points that I later can use to check if my characters velocity intersects with any of them.
I know a bit of javascript, HTML, CSS, VBA and just general programming structures (functions, loops, etc.)A sports betting website posts numerical data (odds) on its flash only website. The betting odds change very frequently.I need to get this data. Preferably by scraping the data each second, putting the data and the timestamp in text file.They use RMTPS protocol to send the data to my browser. So packet listening is impossible?I know pixel scraping is possible, but its a pain in the a**holes to get it to work.I saved the website. I reverse engineered the swf file into fla file. I think I have the complete source code of the site. Its rather big. Fortunately the code is very descriptive and readable, but still enormous.
The question is, how can I get the data not by pixel scraping or packet sniffing, but by intruding and "listening" to the data stream and capturing the data I want? I am pretty sure there is NO function like getOddsGameID(223) or something. I think the betting odds data transfer may be initiated by the server and not from some timed function within script itself. So I need to sort of pretend I am a browser and get the raw data before it goes into flash interpreter.
I want to save data my computer, that i got from playing my flash movie.
i'd prefer it if i'd be able to save the data on the computers of other people aswel, but i mainly need to save it on my own comp while developing the flash movie.
So want to be able to dynamically save/load data from actionscript.
Ok, heres whats going on - I have a CFML Tag that displays a number from my Database. I want to get flash to be able to read this number using embedded HTML. However, I can't find a tutorial in Google I may be searching for the wrong thing.
I'm trying to build a flash component for my upcoming website where I have to read data from a XML file and show these with a fading 5 second interval - I guess you could call it an image-fader/content-fader or some such :-) Before I post my code I would like to let you know that my experience with AS3 is quite limited as I've always been working with Silverlight (C#) instead.
I want to create music Visualization in flash by reading the musicXML file.Is there some sort of a class that reads it? or a help guide to understand the musicXML structure and how to use it in order to visualize its music?
I'm working in AS3 using Flash CS3 in the Mac OSX Leopard environment and would like to save data, to be later retrieved, in text files (probably xml). The data will be the result of the user interaction with the swf and the ideal location will be the directory (local or website) in which the swf file is located.
I know I could achieve the same effect using a database backend but want to make the swf file more portable, and don't really want to dedicate a database to this function. I've read a bundle of website comments on this but none seem to tidily do what I want, and I am not a whole lot wiser on the subject. The data will be user details and variables (e.g. scores) to carryover to when the user next accesses the game. What are my options (FileReference.save, SharedObjects, URLLoader, other )
