I have XML pages with some defined structure , now using flex I want to display the content of these pages. The purpose of using Flex is to give better look. If I can use something else which will provide a good UI to display then also its fine.
View 2 RepliesI need to create a static frame and a changing content... currently envisaged as frame containing the side panel and header and footer content.
The content panel will call mxml based on the content sought.
a) how is the frame paradigm- with static frame "containing" other content done. I dont want to repeat the header and footer logic in every 'content section' code?
b) how is the hyperlinking between content sections done- using 'states' seems convoluted
I am a designer working in a flash file on the navigation part. The web site (is not yet posted) works fine but I need to change the contents when the menu is clicked (contact us, etc. ..). I need to find where the information is so I can change the address, phone number, info. but I have looked everywhere and cannot find it. Where could it be hiding?

I have a components and classes project library. Within the library, flex builder only seems to display content/code assist options for top level classes (e.g. arguments, Array) but not other classes such as VBox. Also, within the non top level classes, class properties are not provided by content assist.
View 2 RepliesI am using a flash banner to control the navigation between about 6 different pages. However, I would like the banner to stay the same while the different pages load around it. The banner is in the same place and has a short animation before displaying the nav controls. After clicking a link, the swf starts over again when the new page loads. Is there any way to embed the swf so that it stays constant (both on the webpage and on its own timeline) while the different html content loads beneath it? There are a few examples of this that I have found but I cannot figure out how to do it, for example [URL].
View 3 RepliesI created a Menu with for Loops/addChild and TweenLite. But I have no clue how to tell flash to what page im going when I press one of the buttons.Because the specifications of the page can only be mentioned AFTER the onComplete function, because the content needs to be added AFTER the animation is finished.
View 14 RepliesI would like to have some dynamic content on the pages... I want to use it for a website. The problem is, when you click anywhere on the page, it reacts. I tried putting an MC over it to override it, I tried removing the Mouse listener temporarily... I'm not too advanced with AS, but I thought I'd give it a try... Well I just can't figure it out.
Is there any way that I could make it so that when the mouse is in a certain area and is clicked, the pages do not react like they should? With the dynamic content I'm going to need scrollbars and stuff and that just isn't going to work unless I can do this.
I am making a full flash site in which one container clip on the main timeline loads all the pages. I want to place a tween on this container so that once the content loads it animates as it enters. Code below.
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*

View 1 RepliesI basically want there to be a series of externally sourced pictures displayed like pages of a book, each viewed one at a time. I want to be able to move between them with the left and right arrow keys. I also would like a variety of different transitions but for now I'm just working on one. In short I have the following on my root frame:
ActionScript Code:
//Declare page vars
var currentpage = 1;
var nextpage = (currentpage+1);
var previouspage = (currentpage-1);
[Code] .....
Then frame three plays through a tweened transition till frame 13 that simply contains:
ActionScript Code:
_root.transitions.gotoAndStop(2);
From 14 to 22 is exactly the same but a transition for a page turn in the other direction. When it loads it just loads with page1 and then nothing works. (By the way, for those who look at the project file, I know the images aren't loading in the right places but I'm gonna get to that once I've got this problem sorted).

View 2 RepliesI've recently used the 'Static HTML' application to add autoplaying flash content to a Facebook Page.Nothing too fancy, no sound, and only a few secs long. Now, Facebook say:-"Apps on Pages must not host media that plays automatically without a user's interaction."
What do they mean by 'Media' exactly? I can understand a ban on autoplaying audio content but does the ban extend to something as harmless as an animated GIF? Or more to the point, does an autoplaying .swf file fall under this?
Lastly, what course of action would Facebook take if I did violate this rule? Would they issue a warning (giving me an opportunity to remove the 'offending' item) or would they just shut down my page without any consultation?
Looking for a tutorial to make individual pages (jpg or gif) into swf pages so we can add links in an on-line flip book. I have flash, but have not learned as of yet.

View 5 RepliesI'm still learning how to use Flash... and am still struggling on one thing. It may seem simple to the most of you -- how exactly do you have the content displayed once you click the button? I'm attempting to have the content for each navigation link button to show up each time it's clicked. Still a failure.
View 4 RepliesLong story short, I'm developing a theme template for a blog that enables you to view the posts in blocks. The main part of the post is displayed at first, then the secondary content is displayed over that when you hover over the post block. Everything works fine on a Mac Versions of all major browsers, but start browsing on a PC, and all hell breaks loose when you start trying to display content over Flash Video embeds. The flash element remains visible over the content. It's completely unusable.
From a PC, you can view an example of the problem here: [URL] I'm almost certain this is a bug in the Flash Plugin for Windows, but I was wondering if anyone else had come across this problem before, and if there were any solutions.

link to a tutorial that explains how to display data in a grid/table style view. I'm trying to create a catalog (using xml), I know how to display the information retrieved from the xml file, I just don't know how to display it in a grid/table style.

View 2 RepliesI try to display xml content in a text box with flash5, can display firstchild nodevalue, but firstchild.firstchild.nodevalue gives me always null. The xml file text is something like this:
Code:
[slideshow][slide]flower[/slide][/slideshow]
I've been working on this catalog system for awhile now, and have it working almost perfectly. But one problem still remains...
I'm dynamically loading content (jpgs & text) into a scrollpane from an xml file. It should display an image, and then below it some associated text. My problem is that when the content loads in, the first jpg isnt visible. I'm pretty sure its there because all the other jpgs load. What I think is happening is that the scrollpane is displaying the text below the 1st jpg at the very top of the scrollpane, which leaves the jpg above the scrollpane and thus not visible.
When I first started this catalog. I was loading the content into an MC I had manually created and was attaching to the scrollpane via attachMovie. I had the same problem as above in this scenario as well...and to correct that what I did was make a box that went around the entire are that the jpgs and text loaded into. This allowed the jpg to show up.
But now that I'm dynamically creating both the holder MC and the textfield, I'm back to losing the 1st jpg image. It seems to me that the scrollpane needs something above the jpg holder MC for it to be displayed.
Here is the code I'm using to load and create everything.
Here's the code:
[AS]tFormat = new TextFormat()
tFormat.font = "Verdana";
tFormat.size = 10;

I've been asked to incorporate a cover flow into a project I'm working on. Although there are many components available I've been asked for it to loop round i.e. the slideshow has no left and right end, when the last item in the XML is reached it seamlessly keeps scrolling by going back to the start of the array. Does anyone know of a coverflow component with this function?
View 2 RepliesI want to display HTML formatted content from various sources inside a Flash Flex application.
