Flikr XML RSS Feed Issue

Flash Line Feed Email Issue
Hi, can anyone help me with a code for sending an email from flash.
I have created an email to send 5 x input text fields to an email address.

The issue I am having is the text comes through on one line instead of creating separate lines to deliver the text to the mail recipient - when placed live on the server.

I have attached the code i have used and it is working within the flash document and when exported is working fine.

Just to eliminate these ideas i have already tried the codes listed below.

If any one can help me to figure this out I would greatly appreciate it.

Could it be a problem with the server?

Cheers,
Kirst











Attach Code

on (release) {
var sendto = "me@myemail.com.au";

var strName = "User Name: = " + Name + chr(10);
var strComputer = "Computer Name: = " + Computer + chr(10);
var strDepartment = "Department: = " + Department + chr(10);
var strPhone = "Phone: = " + phone + chr(10);
var strDetails = "Details: = " + Details + chr(10);

var strMessage = strName + strComputer + strDepartment + strPhone + strDetails;

getURL("mailto:" + sendto + "?subject=Intranet - " + Details + "&body=" + strMessage);
}



also tried the following codes to try to separate the fields:


<
>


vbCrLf
Chr(10)
Chr(13)

Help With XML Or RSS Feed
Hello, I'm a n00b at flash and hence don't know any actionscript. I am trying to make a flash file that gets a weather feed, and I have a few questions.
First: What would be the best way to get a weather feed in flash- RSS or XML
Second: If you could point me in the way of any tutorial or give me some code to use to interface with the xml, or rss feed.(no serverside code should be needed, since I wish to turn this file into an .exe to run of my desktop)

Thanks, any and all tips are greatly appreciated.

Non-local Xml Feed
Okay I have a file in which some vars are loaded from and external xml feed. It works perfectly on my local machine, but when I upload it to a webserver(not the same server the feed is on) it no longer loads those vars. I've heard before that this problem exists but I do not know how to correct it. Do I have to draw those vars in PhP then put them back into an xml file on the same server as the swf file?

Please help.

RSS Or XML Feed In Flash
I help run a news site, and we're trying to reach a broader audience in our 2nd year online. We want to set up a CNN or ESPN like news ticker that will go on the bottom of several popular websites. We've already gotten clearance from a few sites. The main thing: We run off of Blogger. What we're looking to do is to put an XML or RSS feed and transfer that to a ticker type thing on a Flash document. Again, imagine the ESPN or CNN ticker for a guide. If you need to see our site to see what we're talking about,this is it.

We have an XML feed syndicating our Blogger site to LiveJournal also at this link provided.

I'm thinking that if there is some way to get an XML feed into dynamic text, we should be able to get it to scroll, but you guys are the experts. We just want some type of ticker using XML or RSS, like the ones on ESPN or CNN. Our versions of flash are Flash 8 and Flash MX, both on Macs. Can anyone please help us?

I'd Like Some Feed Back On This.
I just finished whipping up together a Caching class that will keep manage loaded images and keep them cached inside the app for reuse. I'm kinda looking for peoples' feedback as to whether they think that it's really necessary.

Now, I know the first thing you're thinking... The browser has caching built in... Well, there is still a request being made for the file. I see some ups and downs personally to this, so I'd just like to see what people think after seriously looking at it and weighing the pros and cons.

Thanks.

loadImageBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadImage);
removeStageBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeStage);

function loadImage($event:MouseEvent):void
{
    if(Cache.isCached("image.png")) trace("cached");
    else trace("not cached");
    
    img = Cache.load(new URLRequest("image.png"));
    
    addChild(img);
}
function removeStage($event:MouseEvent):void
{
    removeChild(img);
}
function removeCache($event:MouseEvent):void

    Cache.remove("image.png");

I'd also like to know if you can find any bugs or flaws, or any missing features.

Using The Date In An RSS Feed
Friends,

I'm successfully pulling in an RSS feed but I'm trying to only show the entries posted since my last visit. Realizing that's not just some simple code snippet, can someone help me at least figure out how to get this...
Code:
<pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2007 06:51:44 -0600</pubDate>
... into a format that Flash can work with?

I can figure out the shared objects and the current time stuff, I'm just not sure how Flash needs the info above.

Thank you!

How To Get An RSS Feed Into Flash
Hey all,

I would like to get an RSS feed into a Flash piece that I am building. I would like to only display the title of the feed(that will be a link) and when the user clicks on the title(link), it will link them to the site with the provided article. I would like title(link) to update as the feed is updated.

Does anyone know how to do this or where to start?

Thanks.

Live XML Feed?
Okay,
So I currently have a bit of Flash that gets data from an XML file.

What I'd like to do is avoid having to have the Flash reload in order for this content to be updated.

I've looked all over the Internet, in books and even asked around about XMLSockets; no one seems to give me a straight answer.

What exactly are my best options here? I've set up an XMLSocet Server on my server, I have some PHP the compiles my XML...what do I need to do?!?!!!

Problem With XML/RSS Feed
I have created a small weather widget which I am currently manipulating to get the data I need out of the description field. However all of the data I require is listed as attibutes within a single tag. The Yahoo Weather RSS feed contains a tag that looks like this

Quote:




<yweather:condition text="Cloudy" code="26" temp="82" date="Thu, 21 Aug 2008 2:55 pm EDT"/>




All of the information I need is right there. However when I try to access this tag in the XML tree such as:
var weather:XMLList = xmlData.channel.item.yweather:condition;

I get an error because of the colon, "Expecting semi colon before colon.

Is there anyway to approach this and access that tag?

thanks!!

RSS Feed And Parse
I have an rss feed that I'd like to bring into a Flash movie, and am successful in linking the code, but it displays too much info and not in a very readable format. How do I tell Flash to parse the rss feed? I've searched for tutorials on here and found none (if there is one please send a link). Everything else I've found on here and elsewhere is way more complicated (don't need scrolling text or drop-down menus, etc.) I'm able to control a tiny bit through textstyle.css, but not enough.

If I were to parse the rss, what would that code look like and how would it link up to the existing link and text box, or is there another manner in which I'd be required to link it to control the output?

Thanks...

Here is my code so far,


Code:
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.TextArea,"myEvent",151,{html:true});

myEvent.setSize(380,100);
myEvent._x = 299;
myEvent._y = 284;
//init TextArea component
myEvent.html = true;
myEvent.wordWrap = true;
myEvent.multiline = true;
myEvent.label.condenseWhite = false;
myEvent.setStyle("borderStyle","none");
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("backgroundColor","transparent");
//load css
kungFuStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
kungFuStyle.load("textstyle.css");
myEvent.styleSheet = kungFuStyle;

//load in XML
kungFuContent1 = new XML();
kungFuContent1.ignoreWhite = true;
kungFuContent1.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
myEvent.text = kungFuContent1;
}
};
kungFuContent1.load("http://LiveWireMusician.lwcr.com/rss/calendarDirect.aspx?i=13574.13856");

Need To Scroll RSS Feed
Hey There

Found this great code for an RSS reader that someone posted (THANK YOU!), but now I need it to scroll. Can someone help? I've been looking at so much code lately it's all looking the same!


Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=n&output=rss"));

var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat.color = 0x5a5a5a;
txtFormat.leftMargin = 1;
txtFormat.font = "Verdana";
txtFormat.size = "12";

var txtField:TextField = new TextField();
txtField.width = 385;
txtField.height = 180;
txtField.wordWrap = true;
txtField.selectable = true;
txtField.multiline = true;
txtField.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat;
addChild(txtField);
txtField.y=30;
var xml:XML;

function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
for (var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++)
{
txtField.htmlText += "<a href='MYLINK'><font color='#03367a' face='Verdana'><b><i><u>" + il.title[i] + "</u></i></b></a><br><br></font>" + il.description[i] + "<br>";
}
}

txtField.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK,linkHandler);
function linkHandler(e:TextEvent)
{
var url1:String = e.text;
ExternalInterface.call("window.open", url1, "_blank", "");
}

RSS XML Feed And Flash
Can you format the text of an RSS XML feed like this one:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...sheadlines.xml

I can connect to this file and display its content in a text field, but do you know how to format the content in terms of each node (i.e: title= Arial, 12, 0x000000 ; link= Arial, 10, 0x0000CC, undeline ; description= Times New Roman, 10, 0x000000)

Any advice will help.

Thanks.

XML Feed For CD-ROM Content
I am building a CD-ROM menu which links to a number of external EXE files. (These are 'screen cam' software movies built with Camtasia). The list of EXEs is growing. I want to build an external file (which I assume would be best in XML) storing the following:

- Title of movie
- Description (which will be one-two sentences of text)
- Filename (which will need to be called from Flash MX)
- If possible: Length of movie

Ideally I'd like a scrollable box that would build the list based from the external file. So it might look something like this:

Movie filename 1 (which would be hyperlinked to the EXE file)
A short description of the movie here, telling the user a little bit about it. It will probably be about two sentences long.
Duration: 3 minutes 42 seconds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Movie filename 2 (which would be hyperlinked to the EXE file)
A short description of the movie here, telling the user a little bit about it. It will probably be about two sentences long.
Duration: 3 minutes 42 seconds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Movie filename 3 (which would be hyperlinked to the EXE file)
A short description of the movie here, telling the user a little bit about it. It will probably be about two sentences long.
Duration: 3 minutes 42 seconds
--------------------------------------------------------------
etc etc...

I am very new to XML so this is a real struggle for me. I did find a script that embedded the XML as HTML, but then we have the problem of web browser security kicking into play when I click on a hyperlink to an EXE - that would not happen with a Flash FSCommand. (E.g. It tells me that I am trying to download a file - do I want to do this....)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Martin B

RSS Feed Load
I'm working on a new website and trying to integrate my blog to it, in flash. Feedburner has a neat javascript that loads the RSS feed to any html document. Thus, I place a dynamic text field field and call an html document that has the Feedburner code in it. Sadly, when I execute, it won't load the feed. Thoughts? Help?

The feedburner code is posted here, feel free to offer any advice.

RSS Feed Functionality In AS 2.0
Hi,

Can someone please tell me how can i achieve the RSS feed functionality in AS 2.0.
In brief, for RSS feed, when any RSS link is given, the AS 2.0 XML object does not understand the link. I can use that link in AS 3.0 'URL' object.
Also, AS 3.0 has the functionality of traversing through any XML file without the developer knowing its exact structure but this is not possible in AS 2.0. How can I achieve this.
Please assist.

Live Feed For FMS
Hi,
Is there any way to publish in FMS a live stream not coming from a web cam or any other hw device.

Thanks in advance

what will make the transition smoother, i already cranked down the quality to a low 20.. the background files are 20kb. I figured if i lowered the target alpha, it would go quicker/smoother but it didnt help, i also messed with the division factor within (this.targetAlpha-this._alpha)/4; the lower the # the choppier the transition, the higher the # the longer it takes.. frame rate is at 30. Thanks all!

How To Get An RSS Feed Into Flash
Hey all,

I would like to get an RSS feed into a Flash piece that I am building. I would like to only display the title of the feed(that will be a link) and when the user clicks on the title(link), it will link them to the site with the provided article. I would like title(link) to update as the feed is updated.

Does anyone know how to do this or where to start?

Thanks.

Sounds Feed
This is just a "heads up" on an RSS feed that you can subscribe to which will automatically tell you when new button sounds are added to my page.

Was wanting to get an idea of who would be interested in, if not subscribing, downloading free sounds.

The reason for a feed is that I don't know when I will be uploading sounds. I could release one and not another for two weeks, then I could release 10 at once...So it saves people from checking my site to see if I've added new ones.

Best,
KK

Thanks for any help.

Help With RSS XML Feed And ActionScript 3
I am working on a Flash based RSS reader and trying to extract just the <img src="..."> code out of the <description> tag, but I haven't found a solution. I tried doing a trace, but that comes up with a undefined for data.

Here is my code so far and RSS XML example:


Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

function itemChange(e:Event):void
{
tb.htmlText = lb.selectedItem.data;
ta.htmlText = "<a href="" + lb.selectedItem.link + "">" + lb.selectedItem.label + "</a>";
}

var xml:XML;

function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{

xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
for(var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++)
{
lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()[i], link:il.link.text()[i],
label:il.title.text()[i]});
}
}

loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.siteurl.com/rss.xml"));

Code:
<channel>
<title>Site Name</title>
<description></description>
<link>http://www.siteurl.com</link>
<lastBuildDate>Sat, 01 Mar 2008 22:02:43 +0000</lastBuildDate>

<title>Site Name</title>
<link>http://www.siteurl.com</link>
<description><![CDATA[Site Name]]></description>
</image>
<item>
<title>Title of First Feed Item</title>
<link>http://www.siteurl.com/link.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.siteurl.com/images/stories/users/logo.jpg" align="left" border="0" alt="" /> This is a sample article with a preceeding picture.</description>

</item>
<channel>
So under the <item><description>, it has a preceeding image, I just want to pull the Image URL and drop everything else.

Thanks,

Corey

Ill Feed You Pizza If You Help Me
here is the site

here is the actionscript

setProperty("obj1", _alpha, "0");

setProperty("obj4", _alpha, "0");
setProperty("obj5", _alpha, "0");


obj1.loadMovie("background1.swf");
obj2.loadMovie("background2.swf");
obj3.loadMovie("background3.swf");
obj4.loadMovie("background4.swf");
obj5.loadMovie("background5.swf");

// targetAlpha contains the value of _alpha you want the clip to fade towards

function doFade() {
this._alpha += (this.targetAlpha-this._alpha)/4;
if (Math.round(this._alpha) == this.targetAlpha) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
// get a clip named myClip to fade out
obj2.targetAlpha = 0;
obj2.onEnterFrame = doFade;
obj3.targetAlpha = 0;
obj3.onEnterFrame = doFade;
obj4.targetAlpha = 0;
obj4.onEnterFrame = doFade;
obj5.targetAlpha = 0;
obj5.onEnterFrame = doFade;
// and get another clip named myOtherClip to fade in
obj1.targetAlpha = 80;
obj1.onEnterFrame = doFade;

RSS Feed Not Updating
Ok I am having major problems with this RSS feed Lee made in flash. It all works I can add my own rss feeds to it. But here's the issue. Whenever I load it and then I change the xml, and then reload it again, it doesn't update with the changes I made in the xml. It won't load the newly updated xml it just stays with the first version I loaded. Any ideas why? Here's the code

Code:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
lb.removeAll();

lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

function itemChange(e:Event):void
{
   ta.text = lb.selectedItem.data;
}

var xml:XML;

function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
   xml = new XML(e.target.data);
   var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
   for(var i:uint=0;i<il.length();i++)
   {
      lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()[i],
               label:il.title.text()[i]});
      
   }
}

loader.load(new URLRequest("http://localhost/rss5.xml"));



And then here's the code for the XML

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

<channel>
  <title>W3Schools Home Page</title>
  <link>http://www.w3schools.com</link>
  <description>Free web building tutorials</description>
  <item>
    <title>RSS Tutorial</title>
    <link>http://www.w3schools.com/rss</link>
    <description>I am fat</description>
  </item>
  <item>
    <title>XML Tutorial</title>
    <link>http://www.w3schools.com/xml</link>
    <description>New XML tutorial on W3Schools</description>
  </item>
</channel>

</rss>

So whenever I change the things inside the description tags and stuff like that, it doesn't reflect those changes when I export the flash file. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

RSS Feed Not Replacing XML
Hi everyone,
I found the RSS feed code shown at a video here, and I thought of adding buttons that could change the feed when they are pressed.
Basically, I put a new URLLoader in the click event of the buttons, thelling them to get the new feed, but instead of replacing the list with a NEW list, it just ADDs the titles under the list.
I tried delete, unload, remove item, remove child, etc, etc, but I never get to clear the list first and then load the XML.

here's the code, as you can see I traced even my last name, with no good results
Thanks a lot for any help
Indira


Code:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
bt_foto.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClicFoto);


lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

function itemChange(e:Event):void
{
   ta.text = lb.selectedItem.data;
}





var xml:XML;
var il:XMLList;


function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
   
   xml = new XML(e.currentTarget.data);
   il = xml.channel.item;
   for(var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++)
   {
      lb.addItem({data:il.description[i],
                  label:il.title.text()[i]});
   }
}



loader.load(new URLRequest("http://localhost/indira/category/txt/?feed=rss"));


function ClicFoto(e:Event):void


{
   


   loader.load(new URLRequest("http://indira.com.ar/category/foto/?feed=rss"));
   
   //trace(il.length());
//xml = new XML();
//selectedItemList.dataProvider = new DataProvider();
  //          selectedItemsList.dataProvider = new DataProvider();
//removeChild(loader);
//lb.load(new URLRequest("http://localhost/indira/category/foto/?feed=rss"));

//il.removeItem();
//il = xml.channel.item;
//   lb.removeItem(1);

//delete(xml);
//il = null;
//lb.removeItem();
//

//trace(xml.numChildren);


//trace(lb.numChildren);



}

this.bt_web.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClickweb);

function onClickweb(e:Event):void
{
   trace(loader.data);

loader.load(new URLRequest("http://localhost/indira/category/netweb/?feed=rss"));
}

Can't Get Feed Back To WORK
I am trying to make a feedback thing for my site. But I don' t know how. I want to have a screen with 3 varibles on it. The Name, E-mail, Message. You would click SUBMIT and it would take the 3 varibles and send them to a .txt file. After I want a projector that will cannect with the site and download the messages and make them readable by a me. I don't know if it can store all the varibles in 1 .txt file or if I can send them to it. I would really apreciate some help in the problem of mine and any ideas on how someting like this could ever work would be greaty apreciated.
