Flash :: Web Based Visual Programming Interface Based On Python For Data Visualization
Nov 4, 2011
I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

I'm building a website where I hook people up so that they can anonymously vent to strangers. You either choose to be a listener, or a talker, and then you get catapulted into a one-on-one chat room. The reason for the app's construction is because you often can't vent to friends, because your deepest vulnerabilities can often be leveraged against you later on. (Like it or not, this is a part of human nature. Sad.)
I'm looking for some insight into how I should architect everything. I found this neat tutorial, [URL], which suggests using python & stackless + flash. Someone else suggested I should try using p2p sockets, but I don't even know where to begin to look for info on that.

I have been goggling a lot to find anything with link-based data visualization in Flex 4. something like below screen shoot (made using Ravis). Where user can drag these nodes, without removing the links and on double click of any node we can set some properties for that particular node. I found this Ravis (Birdeye), but not much of examples and support is available for that.

I wanted to make a visualization based on sound, like a winamp plug in. The only thing that even remotely looks like it uses sound information is the sound players on FlashKit. (although they might be faking it)[URL] Is there any information that can be pulled from a currently playing sound in Flash to base a animation off ?

I am trying to create a XML file & a flash based interface which would:
A) Sort the data on the node specified (I tried, it doesnot sort correctly many times)
b) Search the XML nodes for the text the user inputs and display the data
Say he gets 5 results all five must be displayed.

I have extensive experience with MS Visio Solution development, and have a need to provide similar functionality in a web interface in the context of a heavily visual product-builder or "configurator". Visio functionality that I hope to reproduce:Visual shapes stored in a sidebar, from which the user drags and drops onto a drawing area Shape creation on the user's end is probably not necessary... just arrangement, sizing, changing parameters etc.A back-end for extracting the parts the user has dropped onto the drawing area, including the parameters they've changed, dimensions, relations between components etc.In the most general sense, I just need an interactive interface.Given the above parameters, is Flash a good option? Is there a development environment that might be better?

My company has some software which we use to acquire data and interact with some hardware. If we wanted to put a mockup on a website which allows the user to get a feel for the UI (gather some data, change some settings etc.), what are some good methods to do so?I'm thinking either some clever javascript or flash. I've done some JS before but only to style elements of a page. I did some stuff with flash about 8 years ago and found it really fiddly.
So my questions; Are javascript/flash reasonable solutions for this or is there something better. What is likely to be the simpler/quicker route? Is there a better way to achieve the end result?] The demo doesn't need real data, just some fake/dummy example stuff is fine.

I want to create an interface navigatable through keyboard. The interface is somewhat like nested DVD menus, and it is not known in advance how many buttons there will be or where they will be placed. So for example you would be on button 1, if you press right, the closest button to the right would be selected. how would I go about enabling this? The purpose is to enable keyboard navigation for complex management screens for a game I am doing;
I would like this to be as independant and reusable as possible, which means I would like it to work with any clickable object, not just buttons, and certainly not my own custom class of buttons. This also means the buttons might be placed through the flash IDE and so placing them on a grid is not an option (I'd like this to be easy to use for non-techies).
My thinking goes like this: add all buttons to a manager, then select the first one, then on keypress, triangulate and select the closest in an angle of (+45degrees,-45degrees) of direction pressed. But it seems overkill to me, and I guess in some edge cases, some buttons will be forever unselectable.

I am trying to build a experimental interface (menu, text etc) which is based on a fine grid of points, on which i try to render custom fonts and shapes, by connecting the dots. I would store coordinates for characters (O consists of 4 lines for instance) and render them in an animation line by line, character by character.(this non interactive version is my first step)My question is, what would be the best way to store such a font collection, and execute the above. Any Thoughts? all ideas are welcome

Is there a way to generate an instance of a class that implements an interface based on the name of the class?
I am trying:
var ClassReference:Object = getDefinitionByName("movement.OuterSpaceMovement") as IMovement;
var m:IMovement = new ClassReference as IMovement;
trace("startup..." + m);
-But I am getting an error message ReferenceError: Error #1065 (OuterSpaceMovement) not defined.
I have several classes that implement the same interface (IMovement) but I need to be able to generate new instances of these classes and then pass these instances as a datatype (IMovement datatype) to other classes...
So then I tried:
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName("OuterSpaceMovement") as Class;
var m:IMovement = new ClassReference() as IMovement;
and this doesn't seem to work...but the following
var m:IMovement = new OuterSpaceMovement();

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

I'm looking for a way to take SVG path info (basically a string of coordinates) and dynamically draw it with Actionscript. Icing on the cake would be if those shapes could detect mouse events to trigger JS and dynamically change their appearance (fill, stroke, etc...).
I'm currently trying something similar to this ([URL]) using SVG but it's just too slow in IE. I've also tried Google's SVG Web ([URL]) which basically does exactly what I'm looking for (it converts SVG to Flash in IE) but again, it's sloooooow - which is why I'm considering doing the whole shebang in Flash.

I wondered how to set up a flash movie that read an xml doc and depending on the value of a variable, opened a movieclip or not. so if the xml doc had a variable "cool" that had a value of "on", flash would do something like...
if (variable read from xml) is "on"
loadmovie("")
I just don't know how to set up the movie

I'm building a project for a gaming website and i have an interesting dilemma. How do i make the font color change based on the data loaded from the external .txt file.
Example:
In text files i could have... yes yes yes no no maybe yes no. If the text says yes i would like for the font to change to green, if no to red, or maybe to orange/yellowish.
So basically if i went in and changed the No to a Yes on a .txt file, the next time i viewed that flash section the yes text would be in green instead of the default set by the flash core itself.
I hope i am making sense. I don't even know how to go about starting and i stared at the actionscript list for awhile to no avail.

Is it possible for recent versions of flash to directly (or thru Php) access (& update) data from a mysql database and display results based on the data?
So if my database were like this (math scores):User 13Jerry | 20Kane | 7 the flash output would be a bar graph like this (those hyphens would be bars in flash)
Is this possible these days? Google analytics does something like similar to this.
I last used flash somewhere in 2003/4. Never after that :-) I've completely lost touch.

I have a question regarding preloaders.I am wondering if someone could help me figure out how to display an animation based on how much data has downloaded.For example.I have a preloader, it gets to 10% or xxx bytes loaded, I want a movie clip to play (or whatever, sparks to fly, etc.), then at 20% or zzz bytes, another movie clip plays (or again, something else happens).So basically I want the movie to react to how much of it has been downloaded.A real world example of this that I can find quick is.url...(ya ya, everyone uses this as their example).The loader seems to animate based on how much of the movie has actually loaded.play an animation, movie clip, etc based on how many bytes/percent, has loaded.

Imagine I want a user to be able to copy-paste a selection of pixels from MSPaint into a browser-based app. Is this possible using JavaScript in any current browsers? Will it become possible in HTML5?If not, is it feasible using something like Flex/Silverlight, or is it simply not possible at this time, and you'd have to save a file and manually upload it?
update: sounds like HTML5 should allow it, but that's a way in the future to be genuinely useful. Some suggestions of Java applets and Flash are mentioned, probably Flash would be preferable since parts of the web-client would probably use Flex anyway... I'd rather not have requirement for Java and Flash in my site.
