View 2 RepliesI 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.
I'm trying to get an button in flash to open a pop-under window in the browser using JavaScript. So far I have had no success. Both functions are working fine independently but I can't get them to communicate with each other. Please see attached code.
View 1 RepliesIm new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.
The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for using FlashVars and URL variables.I have placed the code directly from the Help file into the Html between
<noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting undefined.I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8.
We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

i load in AS3 data into flash and mantain their data type? Like receiving an array and even with arrays in it and recognizing that is an array instead of a standard string.
And if this is possible is it more reliable then using XML?
After working for a prolonged time on a programming problem, I start to get coding tunnel vision. It makes it harder to draw back and look at the problem from farther away. Hence my question: I am using a Drupal 6 site. When a menu option is clicked, the page opens and a Flash SWF file needs to played in a ThickBox. After 8 seconds, that Thickbox closes.
Opening the SWF file in the Thickbox when a link is clicked is no problem, just like closing the Thickbox afterwards; that's basic javascript. For that I use these:
[Code]...
But opening the Thickbox on load? I can add a link for the user to click, but it should open automatically. I figured out the PHP to have it only open on one specific page. From the Thickbox manual, I learned to open links to images - but not how to open it when the page loads.
Like many other members I'm new in flash and actionscript , so I need some help from the pros.
I have a XML file like this:
Code:
<root>
<Event TextOne="TextShow1" TextTwo="TextShow2"/>
<Event TextOne="TextShow3" TextTwo="TextShow4"/>
<Event TextOne="TextShow5" TextTwo="TextShow6"/>
</root>
All I want is to load the XML data in Flash in two dynamic text fields (TextOne_mc and TextTwo_mc) and make the TextOne_mc to show me first the "TextShow1" then the "TextShow3" etc and the TextTwo_mc to show me first "TextShow2" then "TextShow4" etc,but when I'm done with it,TextOne_mc shows me "TextShow5" and TextTwo_mc shows me "TextShow6" only.

I am trying to load data from mysql to xml to flash using actionscript and php. Im doing something wrong but not sure what.Basically, my php file (latestnews.php) looks like this
Code:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$host = "host";
$user = "user";
$pass = "password";[code].......
this is placed in the same frame number as the dynamic text fields but on a seperate layer. The dynamic text fields are:
Title_txt
Comments_txt
Date_txt

View 1 RepliesWith the following coding, my button opens the image in the same .swf-movie. How can I get it to open this local picture in an external local browser (or seperate flash)? Depending on the viewers OS and presets, either Windows Gallery or a web-browser etc.. My movie is to small to show the images full-screen, and it's for a CD not web.

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.
View 3 RepliesI currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface

Here is my code about xml loading. I try to change the Flash Player from 10.2 to 9 but I have the same problem.In addition some buttons in frame 2 does not works I suppose because of "Stuck" from xml loading.( Work fine when exported in swf!)

View 2 RepliesI have an XML file with 1 parent node that has 1 child node inside it. The parent node is straight forward. It only has one attribute.
The child node has 3 attributes in it - Title, Photo, URL
I want my Flash file to have 3 containers - 2 Text list containers and 1 image holder. The first text container will load all of the Names of parent node. The second text container will load all of the Title of the child node.
The 3rd container will be a MC holder that will load the Photo and will link it to the URL specified in child node.
How do I script my Flash file?
Right now, my script is as follows and it successfully loads the name from parent node in one of the containers. I'm confused with other two!
Code:
function onXmlLoaded(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
// make a handle to the root node in the xml
