Flash Chat Resources
Can anyone point me towards some resources online, like a tutorial on how to do chat using Flash and XML sockets? I'm just confused when it comes to the server connection - do you need an ASP page or java class or perl script to implement features other than who's currently in the chat and sending and receiving messages? That's all I need to do. Thx!

XML And Flash Resources?
So that ugliest of uglies rears it's ugly head again - XML!!! No i am only joking i love it really!!
i have the following script that looks at a simple XML formed document and diplays the values of the childnodes of the root elements. It also picks out and displays the attributes of the child nodes.
=================================================
// create an XML object
contactXML = new XML();
// run a function called "transXML" when all information is loaded in
contactXML.onLoad = _root.transXML;
// set the display to say "Please wait, getting XML......" when loading
_root.test.display1 = "Please wait, getting XML......";
// load the file "contacts.xml" into the object "contactXML"
contactXML.load("contacts.xml", this);
function transXML () {
if (_root.contactXML.loaded) {
_root.test.display1 = "XML data has fully loaded";
_root.test.display2 = "";
_root.test2.displayAttributes = "";
}
// set up a new XML object
keyTag = new XML();
// set a new array to contain all the child nodes of the root element
contactList = new Array();
attributeList = new Array();
attributeList = _root.test2.displayAttributes.split(chr(13));
// set the keyTag XMl object to the value of the last child of the xml file therefore setting it as the root element
keyTag = this.lastChild;
// make the array contactList an array full of all af the child nodes of the root element
contactList = keyTag.childNodes;
// loop through the contact list array and display all of the values of the child nodes of the root element
for (kid=1; kid<contactList.length; kid += 2) {
_root.test.display2 += contactList[kid]+" id="+contactList[kid].attributes.id+" "+chr(13);
_root.test2.displayAttributes += contactList[kid].attributes.id+chr(13);
}
}
stop ();
================================================== =====
my problem is that i am getting no further,
i want to be able to pick out information from nodes nested several levels deep within an XML structured file. I am getting very confused with the looping through different level to get all the information and attributes required
Does anyone know of any really good online resources for XMl and Flash?
thanks in advance

Other Flash Resources
I *know* Flashkit is the biggest, baddest board around for Flash, but curious if there are other smaller quality discussion boards that can also be used as a resource- something that can offer an alternative in a smaller environment.
Thanks!

Best Flash 8 Resources
Hi Group,
I'm a newbie, been using Flash 8, or going through the tutorials part time for about 6 months. I have the book that came with the software and a few other books and about 100 different tutorials that I downloaded. But what is the best way to learn the software? Are there books out there that are far better for a newbie? I'm looking to build some of the really nice sites I see on the web, unfortunately, the tutors and books I have don't really go into advanced web development. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I thought it was a good idea to make a new Flash resource thread, in a similair style as the Design resource thread
It's a combination of links found in the old .swf thread, other sites and links i have been gathering over the last 2 months since i started working at my new (flash) job.

Flash (.SWF) Resources
Hi all
You should consider below statements before you go further, reading this post:
1 - I'm not a flash guru or pro.
2 - I do not plan to be one (look above) before 6 months
3 - I'm playing with .swf creators just for fun at the moment.
4 - I just wanted to share some resources I found out.
5 - The collection of my links may seem very small or insufficient to some but it took several weeks of mine to collect them.
Here we go:
Macromedia's Official Flash Web Site:
This is the homepage of the product (which will also take you to a trial download)
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/
Official (Macromedia's Tutorials) Tutorials Homepage
http://www.macromedia.com/software/f...nfo/tutorials/
Web sites devoted to Macromedia Flash and Flash Developers
(This page is controlled and updated by MM, selected sites - higher quality and page is less likely to have dead links)
http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...h_websites.htm
For inspiration.. What can be done with flash - again an official resource.
http://www.macromedia.com/software/f...l/inspiration/
Non-official sites:
A great community web site, completely dedicated to flash. From tutorials to downloadable files from which you may learn a lot, fonts to sound fx; it is a great resource. Of course the main power of it comes from the forums (the best I've ever seen after sitepoint forums )
Main page:
http://www.flashkit.com
Forums:
http://board.flashkit.com/board/index.php
Here is again a great resource for the scripting language of flash, with again downloadable files and a nice forum:
http://www.actionscript.org/
This is a site, not flash dedicated but can take you to many flash-based web sites, for inspiration; just go to the link provided and make a search on flash.
http://www.wowwebdesigns.com/designs/
And this is the link to a .swf generator application; which is not supported by Macromedia but whose output uses the same player with flash; Swish. Some of us had explained their ideas about it in this thread
http://www.swishzone.com
These are the links I'm using at the moment. I also have seen a lot of other resources which seem useful at first, but, since I did not used them for a period of time and since I cannot guarantee the qualities of them, I'm not mentioning any of them right now. If I have the chance to use any other resources, I'll edit my post and add them.
I hope this thread will be useful.
Again I say, this thread may seem a very simple one to some of you, but I could not found one like this a month ago..

What Puter Resources Does Flash Use?
flash uses the cpu, right? if you get an intricate vector image and drag it around, it's the cpu that determines how smoothly the visuals are, correct?
it's not the graphics card at all, is it (assuming there's a decent $40 card that can do decent video)?
thanks in advance!

Need Flash Resources Quick
Hi,
I need to put together a flash-flyer for tomorrow! It's for a party and all of a sudden there is a site that will accept it so long as I have it for them tomorrow.
I am reasonably new to Flash, I know my way around but things still take me longer than they should so I am looking for flash resources, .fla file I can edit and use - animated text, effects, etc - you know the sort of thing that appears on Flash-flyers. I wanted to make it as trendy as possible and I just know that if I have to do it all from scratch I'm never going to finish it in time.
I have just found this site and I thought I'd drop a thread here in the hope that someone knows where I can find some stuff or can link me to some or etc.
Many thanks for reading.

Flash Audio Resources
Hi there... I have a project that will be using well over 100 audio clips. I have done a little previous work with audio in flash but not to this extent. I am wondering if anyone out there has some ideas or favorites they have used regarding Audio in Flash.
I also am hoping to get maybe some good pointers or things to take into consideration when using multiple audio clips in Flash. Is there a best practice to use? Is XML the way to go or possible? Any ideas and information from past experience is going to be a huge help in making this project hopefully go smooth.
Thanks in Advance!

Flash Learning Resources/Books
Hello Everybody,
Just thought that I would open up a discussion on the best flash learning resources. So far for myself I have
found these books well worth purchasing.
Beginner
Macromedia Flash For Windows
and Macintosh 5 Visual
Quickstart Guide
Katherine Ulrich
Good resource. Step by step with plenty of screenshots.
Borrowed from library. Very Beginner(micro-micro walks you through *everything*)
How To Do Everything with
Macromedia Flash 5
Bonnie Blake
Beginner
Flash five virtual classroom
doug sirhan
Includes nice training cd
with video tutorials of exactly where to click.
Intermediate
Macromedia Flash 5: Training
from the Source
build a complex flash website. I'm only half way through. Teaches you a lot. Tricky and very time consuming.
Also see the Virtual Training Company.
http://www.vtc.com/vtconlinetryfree.lasso
You must download "Quicktime" to view the video tutorials but it is definitely worth it. You can try for free . I
signed up for the $25 a month deal. For that you have unlimited access to all their training video's including
photoshop, dreamweaver, fireworks, and of course flash plus dozens of other graphics programs. You can cancel
at any time. Only downside is you must be on the Internet to view the lessons.
I've heard that Linda Weinman's "Hands on Training" series of books are good. I'm a little too advanced for her
flash book but she also makes an intermediate flash CD that walks you through every step to making a complex
flash website. Similar to what macromedia's book does, but Wienman's CD gives you the great benefit of the
video tutorials.
http://www.lynda.com/products/videos/interflash5cd/
Has anybody purchased this CD or do they know anything about it? It is very expensive at $249.00. If you have
heard anything please post the info.
Thanks. Gavin.

Flash Movie Eating CPU Resources
Hello,
I have developed a bandwidth speed test that tests your download and upload speeds and outputs a one time variable "SPEED" to a speedometer made in flash. I have noticed that when checking my running processes, a huge (and I mean almost maxed out) CPU Usage. I am wondering why thi sis happening and what can I do to fix it.
Is it (the flash speedometer) continuously playing in search of a change in the variable "SPEED"?
Any help will be great

Math And Programming In Flash - Resources?
So I was just wondering if there are any good books/resources out there that helped someone out that is pretty terrible when it comes to Math when programming in actionscript, or I guess programming in general. I guess I'm after some sort of resource where it had basic problems which would involve a bit of math, then went through the problem in a detailed way solving the problem but at the same time explained what was going on so I would learn the math and also solve the problem using code.
I don't want to just be told how to do it with a bunch of code I don't understand. Really hoping there is some awesome book out there called '101 guide to maths in programming' or something like this, (hopefully more geared towards flash/actioncsript)
Thanks in advance!

Reviews: Flash Learning Resources
This thread is for reviewing any type of resource used to learn Flash or Actionscript. Any type of resource is ok; books, video, websites, etc.
I'll start with a book:
Macromedia Flash MX Production Techniques by MD Dundon (published by Macromedia Press)
Target Audience:
From the beginner Flash MX developer to the intermediate Flash MX developer.
Review:
Although it's written by a well respected author, I have to say this book was a let down. Overall, it's just "ok". There aren't any strong examples in the book and it's a really boring read. The paper and print quality is horrible. To me, any book that is about multimedia should be printed in color on high quality paper. Why do these books cost so much if they're not? There are things to learn in the book, but you may not make it to them, as you'll fall asleep first. I really wanted to learn some best-practice production techniques from this book, I did not. Skip this book, there are far better resources available.
Overall Rating:
I give this book at 2 out of 5 stars. Too many cons, not enough pluses.

HD FLV Or MP4? Which Requires Less Resources In Flash Player?
I am currently adding a Super HD option to my site that will allow for a much higher bitrate than our current HD and larger dimensions.
While I had just figured I'd increase the bitrate on (let's say) a 720p file during conversion to FLV, would it be easier for visitors to run an MP4 instead of FLV?
In short, which file type demands more resources from the user's computer? FLV or MP4? The least demanding in this size would obviously be the preffered choice.
Thanks

Flash Video Resources? Questions
Ive been experimenting with flash video recently and so far I have found it is very cool and it opens a lot of new things with interactivity and stuff. The things I have yet to understand are the following:
-how to sincronyze subtitles(or any other movieclips) with the video, in realtime, so that when you move the slider, it also affects external animations or subtitles for that matter. this is my example:
www.symbolsofsuccess.tv/flashvideo.htm
If you wait until the second 50 of the video, you will notice that subtitles start to appear. (they have nothing to do with the actual video) I was just doing some testing, it works fine except for the reason that if the user moves the slider the subtitles will not change acording to the time in the movie. how can I control this? any idea ?
- How can I custumize the navigation buttons ? (stop, play, forward etc) how can I access those movie clips and place my own designs ?
I would like to know if anyone has resources to this topics, especially how to syncronize subtitles wth the video.
Thanks a lot !!!

Where Can I Find Resources For Flash To Director Scripting?
Hi,
I have a flash swf in that I have imported into director. I want to find out what script can be used to put on the buttons in flash so that they will go to a certain part of the timeline in the director movie. The swf incorporates all the buttons so I can't bring the buttons in individually.
Does anyone know of the code to do this or where I might be able to find out?

Problem: Flash Takes Over Browser Resources
I hope someone can help me. I have a Flash file that is full of complicated Actionscript that appears to take over the resources of my browser, dramatically slowing the loading of local pages that link from the page this Flash file resides. External pages that are linked from the same page don't have anywhere near the delay. A sample is here. The 'Tenant Opportunities' link at the top is dramatically slow while the 'External Link' to this forum is relatively quick.
I have isolated all the offending pieces of code and would like some guidance in the best way to solve the problems.
The file (see link above) is a shopping centre directory where the shops details are loaded dynamically via PHP. The user can then click on a directory of the shop names or click on the individual shops and the map with move and zoom onto the selected shop. The data loads quickly and the Flash file is 82kb so loading isn't really the problem.
The first problem occurs with the code for moving and zooming. The file will not allow the user to leave the page unless the map has stopped moving or zooming. This I think I can solve by placing limits so that when the _x and _y are within a pixel of the target x and y, it will click into place, rather than constantly shifting by diminishing amounts, which I assume doesn't release the rest of the HTML page.
The second problem is the one that has really got me stumped. Because the data is loaded dynamically, I have created an Object array that holds all the information about the shops. This information is then transferred to the map elements and also to the directory list. The directory list consists of instances of two objects, the group listing and the shop listing. The text for these elements is pushed across into a local variable within each instance to hold the title. If I reduce the number of instances to about 10, this problem no longer exists; and similarly, if I shorten the names to 14 characters, the problem goes away. At 15 characters, the problem is just as bad as ever.
The segment of the code that causes the problem is...
Code:
ref = "btn"+_root.region[i].id;
this.attachMovie("btn", ref, depth++);
this[ref]._y = yOffset;
yOffset += this[ref]._height;
if (_root.region[i].name != "") {
this[ref].btnLabel = _root.region[i].name;
} else {
this[ref].btnLabel= _root.emptyRegion + _root.region[i].id;
}
this[ref].param = [_root.region[i].id];
... where:
i is a reference number for each element within the object array
yOffset is the _y position of the directory element
region[i] is the object array with the data containing the keys 'name' and 'id'
btnLabel is the local variable within each directory element instance.
It looks like a stack limit problem of some sort. If anyone has any ideas I would be very interested.
Thanks in advance.

Best Resources For A New Flash/Flex Game Developer?
I'm currently a VB.NET/C# software developer and I'm looking to try my hand at making some games using Flash or Flex. It seems like Flex is the better option for programmers so I'll most likely go down that road... (using FlashDevelop?)
What are some good tutorials or web sites for developing games? (preferrably in Flex but Flash is good too)
What are some other good resources/forums? (eg. besides here of course!)

Full Flash Website+dynamic Resources
Hi, people. Well, I know that my english not is so good, but let's go! I just don't know if it's the right place to talk about my subject
Recently I was planing a website using Flash. OK, nothing special to talk about this here lol, but I was thinking about to make it real dynamic.
I studied some possibilities, working with interaction between the loaded content (through PHP, XML, MySQL,... don't matter), the Flash "shell" and the browser.
I'm on a stage where I have this working (except by using this source of contents), but now I'm a little confused with the concept of the project.
Example: my first SWF it's the "shell" of the website, with the top information/content, a menu and the first loaded content (may be the... start.swf, ok?). Nothing special yet, just a preview of the website content.
Following the process, the menu load some other SWF's. Each one have an specific height (what suggest the amount of text, images, etc...) and I have the resize of the DIV where my "shell" is, giving me a nice scrollbar at the browser
This idea of a flash project seems to be fake for me, just because I say the size of the loaded content, but I'll ignore this now. "The sun climbs up" and I'm loading my "dynamic" contents there.
Now, try to figure what would be load on the shell real dynamic content, from a database, PHP script, XML,... whatever, and load some dynamic 'sub-contents' of this dynamic content,...
No, I'm not going crazy (yet!), I'm just looking for some comments about this concept of project, the usability, the accessibility and if would be possible to have a website really dynamic.
[]'s, and thanks for the patience
Eduardo
PS: I found 2 websites that suggest this kind of project (or no, I really don't know), so would be nice take a look (not a coincidence, I think, but are 2 weblogs): www.thinkswedish.com and www.flashblog.org

Help With My Chat Application...? Maybe Thisll Help Others Wanting A Chat Too
hi i couldnt work out how to simply make my own chat... i just couldnt get my head around all the wierd .asp etc.
so i found a neat little code for this miniture live board (called qboard) that has no ads or anything. it works basic - from a html sense of the word.
1 text table for your name.
1 for your email/url (which when your nickname is clicked on the board itll go there).
1 text table for your message.
1 submit/send button .
and above all that an iframe which you get to see the converstaion on.
what i want to do is use the information about all those textframes in a flash file so it can suit my webpages look. rather than the tacky buttons html provides etc.
the source is below. BUT NOTE:
this is the source for the chat I have set up. if you use it DIRECTLY on your page you will be using my chat which means you will get my users messages etc. IF you wantt to have your own... simply get it at qboard.org
<html>
<head><title>Chat</title></head>
<Body>
<center><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Custom Flash Components For Interactive Whiteboard Resources
Hi
I'm lookingto build a flash interface that allows teachers to build their own interactive whiteboard resources. Does anyone know how to build custom flash components? Or can anyone suggest a way of creating a flash movie that allows users to upload pictures - create a simple quiz and then save what they have done as an swf??
I'm only loosly sure of what I'm doing so any vague help will be appreciated...
Cheers
Mark
