Create A Flash Webpage That Creates Or Edits A Notepad File?
Jun 8, 2010
Background: I am trying to create a website that is easily updateable by a non-html savy user. I figure I can load the content of my flash page from a notepad file within the same directory.I would prefer to not make the editor use a FTP program, so I figure the best method is a webpage where the person can log in and type the updated text and have it create a new notepad file and overwrite the old one. I am not sure if this is technically flash or simply a html question, but does anyone know how to go about doing this
I have got three screenshots below of Flash-based audio players on various websites that draw a waveform of the clip it is going to play and moves along while it is playing and also allowing the user to click on a point on the audio file and it jumps to that point.I have very little Flash knowledge but is this easy to achieve? I would like to just show the Flash file an mp3 and it draws the waveform. I understand this could be quite intensive on CPU so would there be a way of caching the waveform data so it doesn't redraw each time the file is loaded?
what is the code needed to create a simple .swf file that once double-clicked on opens and all it has inside it's window is an iframed website (scrolling and resizing are optional), basically a simple flash mini-browser if you will, with no navigation features of any kind just the ability to click inside and maybe refresh the page...
i want to make a discussion/message board. but a very very simple one. no username, password.. just a board where people can wite one or two lines. thats all.its very hard to find one out there. i think if i can manipulate a guestbook files, i can make a simple discussion board. The problem is that i dont understand how to make flash 'communicate' with notepad file to store information like how they did in guestbook. this is link to one of flash message board i found, but it has too many section - like kirupa forum. i dont have any ideas to make it as simple as i want. i dont understand the AS

I am making a random name chooser for a class (using an array to read from 28 names). I was wondering if it is possible for flash to read an array from a notepad file. [code]Is there a way to make it so that instead of having to edit the Fla file to edit the names, I can just make a notepad file with the array and _root.NumberOfStudents variable so that it can be edited from year to year easily?
pulling both a variable and an array from a text file (.txt). In my case I have the following:A flash file (.fla)A text file (named MyTxtFile.txt)Now, I just need to be able to pull an array from the txt file. Is it possible to do this? On the main timeline of my flash file I have the following:
Code:
MyArray= new Array("Pizza", "Cheese", "Fish"); _root.NumberofItems= 3;
My goal is to have the "MyArray" array in the text file so that I can edit the values from the txt file.Then I have a button on the main timeline ("Item_txt" is just a dynamic textbox in the flash file):
I want to be able to update this file often, so I thought it would be handy to just "store" an array and a variable in a text file. Let's say in MyTxtFile.txt I had the array "MyArray" and the variable "NumberofItems". I could just update the information in the txt file and it would update the Flash file.
Edit: Would it be possible to store a string in a text file, then have that string put into a blank array? For example: If I had "cheese", "stars", "playdoh" in a text file and then I pulled the string into flash using the LoadVars class could I have the code in my time line set up like this:
Code:
_root.variable1 = ""; var ARRAY:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); ARRAY.onData = function(thetext:String) {
I have a file that loads text from a notepad file externally. This is working fine. But when I try calling this animation from another flash file (using loadMovie), I do not see any dynamic text attached to the child file.
I was editing an FLA file which was Read Only due to our versioning system (P4) however, when I did not have a file checked out (therefore was Read Only), I did not get an error when I saved the file (there was even a save progress bar!) - yet when I opened the file again, all the information I had "Saved" was not there. I tested this out on several other non-checked out files (read-only files) and I was still able to hit "save" on all of them - but it did not actually save the file. In none of these instances was I alerted that I was trying to edit a read only file.
I'm trying to create a webpage in flash cs3 (actionscript 3.0) But I got a problem.. I planed create a "search function" . The user should be able search on google but he/she will type in a keyword in a textfield on my webpage.
I have to create a function that creates an array of arrays. I have to be able to add elements to the array, delete elements and extract elements? the elements will be arrays. How to I do that, or it is possible?
I want to create a kind of "flash button" in a web page. It just like the volume controller of windows operating system. When we click the button or the bar and hold it to roll down or roll up then we can change the volume. Actually, I want to use it to control the speed of switching picture in a web page. For example, intially, the images will switch from one to the other in a default speed--image/5seconds. There is a kind of slide bar just like I described above, I can roll the button to left or right to control the speed of switching.
I am trying to create a webpage with two buttons, Home and About.If the user clicks 'About', I would like an image to slide across the screen (motion tween) and display the 'About' page. (page2)How do you make an image animate whenever it goes from one "page" (instance) to another?
I have just start to learning AS3.I have create a function that creates a random number shuffle.I have another array that holds linkages from the library and I'm using addchild to attach clip from the number generated.when a new number is generated how can i attach that amount of movieclips from the library to stage?[code]
Using loadmovie I'm loading an external SWF on a different domain. Any property changes made to a movie clip in the loaded SWF don't show in a broswer. container.emc.loadMovie([URL]); Inside movieA is the movieclip "box". I don't want "box" to be visible so I've used container.emc.box._visible = false; All working fine at this point, when I preview the SWF from Flash (CS3) I see that box isn't visible. When I open the SWF in the browser, movieA is loaded but box is not set to invisible. This happens with all browsers or any publish settings I try.
I am trying to create a flash intro webpage similar to this: [URL]..I have got a AS2 code that allows me to scale the video as seen here.... www.the10thletter.info/ebh/intro (seen code below)
I also have a AS3 script that positions the logo in the middle of the page (seen code below)
When I test a flash file by hitting "ctrl+Enter" it creates a .swf in same directory as my .fla. does the resulting .swf file actually use the selected publish settings of my .fla file? Or when creating an .swf by "ctrl+enter" does it only use a "default" setting?
As the site will be totally in flash, there is no use of JavaScript required. So, what is the best way to embed a SWF file into a web page without using JavaScript. And why do you consider it to be the best one?
I need to make a Flash animation fullscreen. After a bit of research it seems I can only feasibly do this via a browser, since the Windows 7 preview does not support fullscreen.
I followed the steps of this website; [URL]
However, I'm having a problem embedding the flash file into a simple HTML document. The file is called "LaBoheme.swf" and is stored in the same directory as my HTML file. Hence, here is my code;
<html> <body> <h1>Test Heading</h1>
[Code]....
The problem is simply that the flash animation does not appear. I get the feeling I'm making a rookie mistake here
I've been looking around like a forensic scientist piecing together information for my latest project. Basically I need to display a particular webpage within my flash file... Now I know flash can display simple HTML, but nothing complex and nothing from an external source... BUT I know flash can also handle PHP - obviously. The page I need to load is a wordpress website, a combination of PHP codes and simple HTML snippets... but what I couldn't find was a way of inserting the snippets into a control box or movieclip on my page (actually run the PHP code to fetch HTML snippets).
I ve uploaded flash file with transparent background to my web page. Set background transparency in html code of page.

I have a Flash file, which uses AS 2, that is displayed in 2 individual html pages. When I click a link in the file, I would like to, if possible, determine the name of the page that it is inside of. Is there a way to determine which of the 2 HTML pages my Flash file is being called from?
I have an AS2 Flash file that is displayed within 2 different HTML pages. I want to determine, when I click on a link, which of these pages the Flash file is in. Is this possible? Is there a way to determine the parent page's name? If so, how do I do this?
I made a flash effect for my friend's site and he won't let me get the flash back after a fight. I can see the effect on the homepage of his website. Is there any way I can get the flash to an fla file on my computer? Is there any way I can find the swf file on his websites system and convert it to an fla?
It is a script that creates 4 stacking and draggable files, and when the bottom file is clicked, it will appear on the top most layer. However, when i click on the bottom file, it doesn't appear on top.
