I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
My web designer is no longer working and has left me with a flash file which would benefit from a small edit
The file is made up of a banner which rotates between 3 images. I'd dearly like each of the images to become a link to html files already uploaded to server
The banner can be seen at self catering accommodation belfast dot com
Is it possible to request this on the forum please?
What I mean is that several jpg file will be sent to the server and replace the images that embedded in the file and a exe file will be created from the new file.
I know that I can keep the jpg outside the file and just call them dynamically but I just need to use them in that way.

I have one swf file, it is JW Player plugin. It have one actionscript file in which is whole plugin code, and rest of files are jwplayer api files. So i need to open that file (where whole plugin code is) and edit few lines. But there is a problem, because when i try to decompile file with sothink swf decompiler (and few others) - to convert it to .FLA, decompiles simply crashes. It is because of some file from jwplayer api library. So, next thing i tried is to edit via HEX (because there is not much to be edited), but i couldn't find what i needed. So what i need is - is there any way or not? If yes, which program can be used for this?

View 1 RepliesI tried hard to do this myself, but it isn't working. I would like to offer $20 to anyone who can decompile this flash program, edit the actionscript to load an xml settings file from URL (instead of loading the one compiled with the program), and package it up for me. My main problem is that it doesn't decompile in a way that runs when recompiled with the programs I use.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI'm creating an in-house application in flash for my company. I'm pulling a ton of info from a single XML file located on our server. Ten interns will be using the application on their laptops (Air 2.0). Having the data load and populate the application is not a problem. I would like them (in the application) to be able to edit an existing node value (loaded from the XML) and save it (back to the XML file) so that the XML file updates with the new value and the other 9 interns would see the change on their application.
I figure I'll need some kind of php set up, but everything I've read so far deals with creating new nodes. I need to edit and update existing node values from an existing loaded file.
Here's a very simple example of the XML:
HTML Code:
<INVENTORY>
<CODE>x1234561</CODE>
<NAME>Code1</NAME>

View 4 RepliesI am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. I really don't wanna have to start this website again.

View 4 RepliesI have created a Flash banner ad for our company that is to be hosted on another website. This banner ad needs to have a link added to it, within the Flash file.

About 10 days ago I purchased a flash template for my photography business. At the time I knew zilch about flash and actionscript, so I wasn't totally aware of what to look for before purchasing it.My problem with the site is that scrolling is terrible, especially on smaller screens. My monitor is 28inches so all the pictures layout fine without having to scroll at all, but then my friends with smaller monitors told me about the scrolling problem, how it just goes straight to the bottom then snaps back to the top. My file directory has a ton of .as files, and I've looked through some of them, and even deleted some from the file directory just to see if it'd have an effect on the website. The ones I temporarily deleted, changed nothing to the performance of the website.
Then I saw that they did not provide me with the main.fla file, only the main.swf file. So, is the scroll behavior that I want to change contained within that main.fla file? Making it impossible for me to try and fix it since I don't have the main.fla file? Is that what controls all the .as files or something? Sorry for my ignorance, but web development is not my area of expertise, hence my reasons for buying a template
