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?
I'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>

We recently upgraded to Windows 7 64Bit from Windows XP here at work, and since the upgrade i've discovered a very scary issue with Flash.When going to save one of my large projects, often Adobe simply crashes outright, freezing up and displaying a standard error message."Adobe Flash CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." - with an option for "Close program"I hit close program, and Flash disappears. If I try and open that same FLA file again, I get the error messageUnfortunately it seems since Flash is crashing in the middle of saving, it is corrupting my FLA file. This is extremely worrying, since it corrupts my entire source file.Here's the details of my computer:OS: Windows 7 - Recently upgraded from 32bit Windows XPThe Flash CS5 version is 11.0.0.485The FLA in question is 10MB, and contains some large map files (gifs), lots of small JPG's as well as a fair chunk of code as well as importing of external classes. I've tried replicating the issue on smaller files, and haven't been able to do so.

View 2 RepliesSince Flash 5.5 by default saves files in 5.5 format that's incompatible in 5.0 editors we need a way to save .fla files in older format with a JSFL script. Can this be done? How?
Background: One of our developers installed the Flash IDE 5.5 and ran a modifying script on hundreds of fla files that we have. The changes were ok, but the file save format was not. It automatically saved the 5.0 files in 5.5 format that can not be opened on the 5.0 IDEs.
We could restore files from backups or he could go trough each file manually saving them with the save as dialog. I'd prefer to find a way to batch save .fla files in older formats like Flash IDE 5.0. JSFL would look close to optimal, but I could not find a way to save the files with specific flash version in mind with it.
It works by reading an existing Class file, parses it, generates an Interface-like .as file for it, and saves it locally, all from within FlexBuilder. It works perfectly but I'd like to improve it by having it automatically open, modify and save the files with only a few user clicks required.Currently I'm using FileFilter, but this requires that the programmer manualy select each file to parse, and then manually select where to save the output - it's tedious.Normally I'd simply use AIR, but because of my company's security policies I am not allowed to create my own AIR applications.

while attempting to set my own format for my ActionScript 3.0 code, i found Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter. i then set the braces and indent format so my code will automate like this when it's written: i realize that ActionScript 3.0 and Java are completely different languages, but their syntax is nearly identical so i assumed that the Eclipse based Flash Builder would treat my AS3 as Java. it's exactly what i'm looking for since it allows me to change the default code format:

View 2 RepliesI have an app that allows you to save data into a database and gives you the ability to edit that data at a later date. Let's say the user saves
"Up to 90% off retail price"
Everything works fine, the % gets saved in the table etc. The problem is when they return to Flash it now reads
"Up to 90 off retail price"
All I'm doing is taking the value of the variable and sticking inside a text box, I can't see why Flash is having trouble reading that value into a text box. I am making this data into an html ready textbox.
Code:
The % can be in any of the array element values
listValues[10], etc....
Property Values Array
editedPropertyHighlights = new Array(listValues[10], listValues[11], listValues[12], listValues[13]);
// POPULATE TEXTBOX
for (i=0; i<editedPropertyHighlights.length; i++) {
_root.base_front.display_txt_6.html = true;
_root.base_front.display_txt_6.htmlText += "<li>"+editedPropertyHighlights[i]+"</li>";
}
Can I do this with flash? Save/edit text/xml server side?
View 1 RepliesSo, I've got a component that changes selected text fields case to Title, Sentence, or ALL CAPS.
Below is the code for all caps.
Code:
function fnAll(e:MouseEvent):void{
var numItems:int = int(MMExecute("fl.getDocumentDOM().selection.length"));
for(var i:int = 0; i < numItems; i++){

If you open a file, change the text case, then save it without doing anything else: It doesn't save the changes made with this control. If you change the case, then alter the file using the IDE (cut/paste the text, shift it, draw something and delete it, etc) THEN it saves the changes.
So it seems that the case alteration by itself is not recognized by the IDE, so it doesn't think the file changed, and doesn't actually save it.

I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.
