Content Manager?
I am looking for solutions for managing content in swf files. Site is done in flash and has text areas ( ie: menu, services, etc. ) that need to be updated by a NON-FLASH person.

We know how to pull information in from an XML file but i guess what I am looking for is a more "user-friendly" method. That is, I don't want to give them an xml file and say, "Just type over what you don't like and FTP it up to the server."

[CS3] How To Delay Html Content Until After Flash Content
I am working on a site where I want to have a few flash elements on the page ( i.e the navigation and the logo. ) to animate in before the the a block of text ( in a div) will be shown. The flash elements will stay on screen and be used after loading as the nav with interaction.

I don't want it to be a true flash intro before the site ( I already have one actually). I would rather it be a sequence that becomes visible as the page loads.

As I am typing I am wondering if this needs to be done in javascript or if it can be done via the embed parameters.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Easy Content Boxes
Sup,

I've been working on this project to use for my own site for a bit now, and learning Flash at the same time (almost a month now). Basicly all it is is an easy to use system for content to be placed on a box. Like the resizing boxes you see everywhere. The only difference (ATM) is the box can be minimized and closed. I plan on adding the ability to maximize, and bounds (ie. cant go past x/y position), amoung other things. If you want you can see the documentation: http://missionsecondary.sd75.mission...umentation.rtf I estimate this project is about 50% of my site, so my sites half done of what this is done ATM (aka. basicly none of my site accept this project is done yet).

The class is 575 lines long, but I estimate 40% is comments and commented out code. ATM the source isn't available for download, because I would prefer to organize/optimize/etc., and probably wont be until v1.0.0. However, if anyone really does want to see the unorganized beast, I could send the files (along with the site, to show usage) via email. I have plans to make it much easier to use, and customize, in the future.

What I wanted was to get peoples opinions on something. I was thinking about making the boxes have a zoom blur effect, which should make it look less odd when docking, and better when changing its specs (size/position), but would it make it look cooler? or cheesy. I'm sure a blur effect would look great on a gaming style website or something, but I'm not sure its right for every site, so maybe make it an option? I want to know because in order for it to be successfully incorperated I should probably look into doing it right away (so I dont have to backtrack to add the feature). I also think it would be cool to add a feature like http://www.thibaud.be/ when you throw the boxes, but add the blur effect (which I've seen a tutorial on, throwing with a blur). Opinions?

I also wanted to know if anyone spots any bugs, because ATM the only real "bugs" I know of is the menu isnt in synch with the windows (but thats not part of the class). The menu is not part of the class. I also wouldn't mind suggestions, hehe, because I love adding to the to-do list.. and aspiring to make a very complete system.

Heres the example:
http://missionsecondary.sd75.mission...ae/master.html

There is no preloader yet, and the size/process might be huge because it isn't optimized yet. I could change the speed and the way the position/size go easily, but this is the best I could think to have it. ATM no content is on the boxes, but in the future it will flash onto there (or whatever intro is customized).


I'll be updating the topic with "break-through" versions later.

Website Easy Upload/updgrade Content
Hello... Currently I'm organizing a website for a Magazine, which has to be updated every 2 days, and honestly, to be opening GoLive everytime, saving text here, pasting there and blah blah... I wonder if there's anyway or software, that's easy to use so I can just PASTE the text into a window that automatically will replace the new text (and picture). Specially because some of the sections must be updated by the writers, which, most of the time, have no idea what GoLIVE is... If anybody knows a software, or maybe even Microsoft Office has some tool to do it, I would appreciate it so much.
Thank you

URGENT: Flash Navigation Embedded In Html That Link To Frameset Content In Html
Hi all,

I want to build a website that consists of a menu navigation (made in flash but embedded in a topframe in dreamweaver. On the left site, there would be some flash animations (images etc.)embedded in the leftframe and in the right/main frame, there would be either flash content or html content (depending on the content). The menu bar is made of 7 buttons; when you mouse over a button, you get a scrolling menu with different items, those buttons items have a rollover effect and when you click on one of this items it will load either a flash or html content in the right/mainframe of my dreamweaver site. My question is what is the best way to build this navigation bar so that when i click on one of this item, it will load the correct content in the right/main.frame.html. When this occurs, i want that the scrolling menu still displays while the content is loading so that when the visitor have seen the content, he just needs to click to another item to load the content (so no ectra step). Please help me with this as it urges.
Be clear in your responses as i am not a pro of actionscrit!
Many thanks, lineda

3.Add the corresponding store map.

So my question is:
Is there any program that lets user update their data
and pictures without messing with flash?

Any ideas or directions to related reading would help

Easy Way To Fix Bad-formed Html/xml?
I'm reading and displaying RSS feeds in a TextArea. One of my feeds, however, likes to embed poorly-formatted HTML, such as <img width="50" height=100> (no quotes on one of the params) which kills HTML display.

Does anybody know of an easy way to fix this, ie to add the quotes into tag's parameters if they are not there? Damn Flash is finicky!

Dynamic Php/html - This Should Be Easy - But I Dont Get It
Hi everyone,

I have looked all around the forum for an answer to this but couldn't find one -- so if someone can guide me - it would be really appreciated. Again, if this has been posted somewhere I apologize --> pointing me at it would be fine too.

What I want to do seems like it should be pretty straightforward, but I can't get it to go.

I have a php script that pulls froma db -->
http://www.mswebsolutions.com/hdawg/holly_index.php

I have a Flash/swf file (done in MX) with a dynamic text window here -->
http://www.mswebsolutions.com/hdawg/live.swf

basically what I want is to show the php script - formatted as is IN the dynamic text window. (The name of the window is "bianco" if that helps.

Thanks again

Flash Going Over HTML Content
If you go to www.yahoo.com, over to the right you'll see a tiger woods advertisement (the one on tv, for buick or whatever) but the ad content is not what i'm after, it's how they get the content to fly accross the other html content, even making the html content disapear for a moment, only then to reappear once the flash movie is done. I love this affect, but can not for the life of me figure out how they're doing this. It obviously looks like his has to do more than just Flash, probably Dreamweaver too, any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Displaying HTML Content
Hy all,

I'm quiet new to AS3 so maybe, I'm just doing something wrong.
I'd like to load a text/html file with html tags and display it through a TextField (because TextArea doesn't seem to work).

The code so far is pretty simple:

ActionScript Code:
var htmlText:String;
var contentText:TextField = new TextField();
var myHTML:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myHTML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadHTML);
myHTML.load(new URLRequest("test.html");
function onLoadHTML(e:Event):void
{
    htmlText = e.target.data;
    contentText.htmlText = htmlText;
}

The Output is now extended by a line of CSS code and the html tags (as <br>,<b>,<i>) are not translated at all. So this looks like:


HTML Code:
p.p1 {margin: blablabla font: 12.0px Helvetica}
this <b>is some</b> sample <i>code</i>

Can anyone tell me how to display html content properly?

Thank you very much in advance!!

Regards Oli

Html Tags In Dynamic Textbox - Should Be Easy
Is there some kind of order that html tags have to be in to work? I have this in my textfile:

sortMC=<b><u>Memos</u></b><br><FONT COLOR='#738DD9'><a href = "www.blahblahblah.com"><u>blah website</u></a></FONT><br>

The underlined colored text link to "blah website" works fine as does all text coming after the last break <br> tag (not shown here). However the first part - <b><u>Memos</u></b> doesn't work (that first <br> does though as I can see the breaks in between sections of text that I have set up). Is there a simple explanation for this? I have tried using <B> </B> also and still no luck.

However, i would like to be able to navigate through the different HTML content pages via the flash navigation bar, without reloading the flash bar every time i load a new HTML page.
