Flash :: [F8] Flash Based Rating And Comments System

[F8] Flash Based Rating And Comments System
Hi there I'd like to create a rating and comments system to the video site I'm working on. Basically the user will rate the video (stars or thumbs up) from 1-5, have the new rating process and improve or lower the video rating automatically.
For the comments the user will be able to write and send the comment and then either have it posted automatically with the option for the site moderator to erase any offensive comment or have it sent to a database for approval first and then post it by the site moderator.

I assume I need a php form and action script code?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Any ideas / leads / examples are appreciated.
Cheers

Rating System In Flash
Hi, is it possible to have a rating system in a flash movie? Similar to the kind used by sites such as Amazon. I have found references to flash rating in php but I don't have access to php or a mysql database. I'm looking to either do it directly in flash with actionscripts or with asp
Any help would be greatly received as I have googled myself around in circles!

Thanks a lot.

Flash Blog With Comments System?
Hi ppl! I've been looking for a CMS that uses flash. I found that I can integrate b2 (URL) with flash by using b2flash and rss but the problem here is that I can't use the comments system. I also know that I can't load the images files used in any post, but this is not a major problem as my main webpage will always be the php generated file and not the flash one. Anybody out there who knows how to integrate the comments system in a flash blog?

Rating System
I'm currently trying to develop a simple flash rating system, but I can't figure out something pivotal.

If you take a look here, you'll see what I have so far. The problem is that I'm wanting, when hovered over from left to right, the correct number of stars to stay up once passed by the cursor, instead of going back to the 'up' state.

Dynamic Rating System

Employee Rating System
Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I am designing a database for my job using flash. I want to design a rating system for our employees. It is a little difficult to explain. Basically, the office is broken up into 4 teams. Each team has 10 people. Each person on a team is rated from 1-10. The total of all individual ratings determines the overall team rating. For example, if each person on Team A is rated as a ten, the overall team ranking would be 100 (10 X 10). Hope I haven't lost you. Now lets say that out of the 4 teams, teams C & D have a rating of 80, and teams A & B have a rating of 100. To even out the team ratings, I would have to shift team members around until the ratings even out. For example, I could take one person from teams A & B, rated as a 10, and put them on team C & D. This would make C & D ratings a 90. Team A & B would have one less person per team. I need to know how I would write this in action script. I am using Flash MX 2004. I need the action script to automatically calculate the team ratings as I shift people around. I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Star Rating System Help
I am trying to get a function to change depending on what event triggered it.

Basically I'm trying to learn Actionscript [3.0], and I've decided to make a simple rating system with stars. Most people have probably seen something like it - 5 stars, click/mouse-over on one, and that star and the ones before it are selected. Now I've made the stars (buttons), put them in a row, given each star in the row an instance name (star1, star2, etc). My problem is that I want more than one star to light when the mouse is over it, depending on what star the mouse is over.

ActionScript Code:
import.fl.controls.Button;
var starsOver:Number = 0
function showStars(event:MouseEvent):void{

}
twoStar.addEventListener(MouseEvent:mouseOver,showStars)
threeStar.addEventListener(MouseEvent:mouseOver,showStars)
fourStar.addEventListener(MouseEvent:mouseOver,showStars)
fiveStar.addEventListener(MouseEvent:mouseOver,showStars)
I'm thinking that perhaps I can use just one function to do all that, but change depending on whether it was twoStar, threeStar, etc. that triggered it.

Is there a way to do this? - or do I have to make a function for each star, or change them to a movie clip, or make a "class", or is there another easier way? Mind, I'm sorta learning , so i'm not too good with programming.

Creating A Simple Rating System...
How can i make a simple rating system which asks the user for a mark out of 5, and then updates the overall rating which is also displayed. Peolple shouldn't be able to vote more than once. Is there a way of doing this without using complicated databases and all that.

[CS3] Creating A Star Rating System...
Hi All,
I've begun creating a rating system but am unsure how to go about the actual storing and recalling of information when the user selects the number of stars. You can see a very stretched out .swf file here of what I am trying to do. I am not sure whether I need the as3 to write the data to a text file then pull the data from the same file? Any ideas would be great.
Thanks in advance,
BC

Flash Based Messaging System
I’m trying to make a PHP/Flash messaging system. I’m familiar with how PHP/Flash/Database interaction and variable passing works. The Flash scripting is my problem. I’d like Flash to display the messages in a table with the subject, sending user, and date sent displayed. How can I have Flash do this dynamically? For example, if the user has 1 message have only one entry in the message queue but if the user has 500 messages there are 500 entries. I keep thinking “array” but I’m not sure how I would code it correctly.

Any ideas?

Flash Based Operating System
I am fairly new to Flash Development. I have become recently interested in Open Source and wonder if there is any sort of flash based desktop environment or even a flash based operating system in the brew, or even already made. If not, I have some great ideas on something involving rich graphical interfaces in a desktop or operationg system environment.

Constraint Based Layout System For Flash CS3
I know most of you guys use Flex which has a great constraint based layout system architecture by default, but in Flash CS3 there is no built in way to do this. To create intelligently resizing layouts, you have to manually resize each element on a stage resize event. This can create obscene amounts of code really fast, especially if you start to work in simple arithmetic to avoid hard coding in positions, such as "stageWidth-obj.x-obj.width" etc.

Is there any code library to do this for you built in AS3? I basically want something like this:

ActionScript Code:
var layout = new Layout();
layout.header_mc = 'left|right|top';
layout.left_mc = 'left|top|bottom';
layout.footer_mc = 'bottom|left|right';

...

function onStageResize(evt){
layout.resize(stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
}

XML Based Help System
I would like to add a help movie to my site.

Basically there are 12 different sections of my site and I would like to include a help button that when clicked will display a help swf above all the other content.

I would like the help panel to include a menu on the left hand side with the 12 section names. And on the right hand side would be the help text for the current section.

I was thinking the best way is to have an xml file with the menu on it so that this menu can be easily updated if more sections are added. This xml file would include the name of the associated text or XML file with the actual help text for each section.

The text for each section would be just plain unformatted text. I am not that familiar with XML so I am not sure if this content text should be done as an XML file for each section or just a simple text file - are there any advantages of either?

Anyway so basically I would like any advice on how to set up and program the above in Flash MX especially the choice of either a text file or XML file.

One other thing is that I would like to highlight the current section name on the left hand side menu. Not sure how best to do this but basically want to change its background color and text color of this menu item.

If anyone has managed to read all this without falling asleep, I would really appreciate any help.

Many thanks

Windows Interface Based System
Hi!,

Im trying to build a windows interface based system like: http://www.elhuyar.com/

I have problems with the resizer object... I can't find out the right line of code to align all the resizer with the window...

See attached .FLA and the code below:

Code:

{
this.mouseOffset = {_x: this._xmouse, _y: this._ymouse};

this.onMouseMove = function()
{
this._x = Math.max(minWindowSize.width, _xmouse - this.mouseOffset._x);
this._y = Math.max(minWindowSize.height, _ymouse - this.mouseOffset._y);

pane.windowbg._width = resizer._x;
pane.windowbg._height = resizer._y;
closebutton._x = this._x;

Condition Based On System Time?
Hey all,

I just wondered... I am playing around with the timedate.getHours(); function and I was wondering how I might go about setting up a condition whereby between 3am and 3pm, movieclip1 loads and between 3pm and 3am, movieclip2 loads?

I'm sure it's not that difficult but I'm not sure how to structure the if/else statement or read the hour from the timedate function. Thanks in advance!

Counter Based On System Clock
HI,

I want to create a counter that counts forms that have been processed by a server, but i want to do it by the system clock.

i.e.
at midnight on Jan 1st there had been 10,000 forms processed

is there a way to get flash to look at the system clock and work out the amount of forms processed so far, and increment by 1 every 2 minutes?

I'm really quite lost on this , so any pointers would by much appriciated.

Cheers

Change Site Style Based On Users System Time
Could anyone point me to a good tutorial or explanation on how one might change a site element based on the users computer time? What we are trying to do is change the color of the sky and shade of the buildings in a cityscape scene on a cartoonish style site. If it is 9:00 PM on the site visitor's end, they will see a nighttime colored scene. If it's 7:00 AM, it would be sunrise-ish. I figure something like this would be pretty simple, but for a newbie like myself I needed some help!

Flash Search Engine Rating Problem
Hi flashers,

A question.... My webby is flash only (ie no option between html and flash). I wanna stick to this. I did have a "flashcheck" script on my index which refered you to either a flash page or a "get flash" page. I scrapped that so the index is now the flash page coz i didnt like the refering function (looks nasty imo). So if you dont have flash the index just dont work, which i can live with i guess.

My problem is tho, as the whole site is just one flash movie on the index, search engine spiders will be able to read the meta stuff in the html BUT my site will appear to have no body text as i dont *think* spiders can read the embeded flash text. This will probably result in low ranking.

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

So far all i can think is to have

1] A welcome html splash screen, which i dont really want.

2] Use a <noscript> function ??

3] Create loads of referer pages with spam body text and submit them to the search engines?

Any ideas on what to do?

Flash.system.System.totalMemory Different Than Windows Mem Display
Anyone know why flash.system.System.totalMemory is much different than what I see FlashPlayer taking up in the Windows Task Manager?

I would expect to see some overhead, but the differences I'm seeing are quite large (i.e. 80MB vs 150MB).

Thanks

Flash Comments Scripts
Hello!

I am looking for an easy way to create a comments section for my flash movie. Ultimately I want a news article or two to be posted within flash so that anonymous users can post their comments. I was thinking the news artice can be pulled from a .txt file and the comments I was thinking about using a mysql db with a php backend, but I'm not sure if this is going to be the easiest way to update by someone not familiar with either flash, php or mysql. Sounds like a challenge huh? I just want to get any additional ideas you all may have before I proceed.

thanks,
Patrick
