Getting Weather From Bbc.co.uk

Weather.com
Hello all.

I am trying to incorporate the code from Weather.com into Flash MX. I was able to do it with google but this one is stumping me. Basically, it's an input text box that allows you to enter your city and submit it to see the weather forcast.

The Basic code in HTML (this is a trimmed down version of what weather.com gives you.) I will not be using their submit button.

I have used ( instead of < so you can see the code.

----------------------
(form method="post" action="http://www.weather.com/cgi-bin/uncgi/zip_city_search.cgi?par=internal&code=617416&site= logo&promo=english")

(input name="destination" type="text" size="8" value="")

(input type="image" src="http://image.weather.com/pics/button_go.gif" )

----------------------
Below is the CODE IN USE
----------------------
<form method="post" action="http://www.weather.com/cgi-bin/uncgi/zip_city_search.cgi?par=internal&code=617416&site= logo&promo=english">

<input name="destination" type="text" size="8" value="">

<input type="image" src="http://image.weather.com/pics/button_go.gif">

Any help/tips will be appreciated.

Weather You Like It Or Not
I am hoping to put a live weather feed for birmingham, uk, on my flash navigator

is there a free service to do this, or could i take information from another page.

---

[F8] XML Weather
I am using XML weather from:

http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

and have the following actionscript on frame 1 of my movie:


var my_xml:XML = new XML();

my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

my_xml.load("http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=95720");

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

city_txt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[6].attributes.city;

temp_txt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].lastChild.childNodes[5].attributes.temp;

conditions_txt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].lastChild.childNodes[5].attributes.text;

}


I would also like to dynamically place the corresponding weather icon from yahoo (ie partly cloudy, sunny, rainy), but don't have the slightest idea how. From reading the above URL, it has something to do with 'code', but i don't know how to call it into my Flash movie. I have limited xml knowledge, so be gentle. And, this is my first attempt at calling xml with actionscript. The above works fine for displaying the text forecast for city, conditions and temp. How would I display the corresponding graphic?

Thanks in advance -

Weather In Flash Once Again.
Is there a way to do it without using PHP?

We're trying to do one for a screensaver that will ideally pull directly from the RSS feed.

Really don't care what site it pulls from as long as it:

Doesn't use PHP
Can be customized to show the weather for our office's zip
And we also want to ad our own custom graphics for both the weather and time of day.

Weather Problems
Thanks to LoungeActx, I figured out how to create a button for the falling snow effect in my project. My final code ended up being

on (release) {
for (k=0; k<8; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.snow, "Snow"+k, k);
}
}


Simple huh?! Well, now that I have a button to turn it on, I can't figure out how to turn it off. Could someone advise me on how to control my weather problems?

This is in Flash MX btw.

Thanks!

Weather Application
Hello everyone,

I'm new, I'm looking for some help for a little project of mine. Let me say that I'm a musician, with web development as an hobby therefore I consider myself a newbie even if I've been playing with Flash for a while now. I learned mostly from online tutorials and lynda.com titles (very helpful).

I'm trying to build a weather application using the free xml feed from weather.com. I found a php script that does it all, but the interface is just ugly html. I would like to create a nice Flash interface to display the data from the feed. I know how to load php with LoadVars but I looked at the php source and it's pretty complicated to me (I just know how to echo "hello world"). If I understood right, the xml feed from weather.com is loaded and updated into a database(I'm using mySQL) where php retrieves the data. The php script can be found at "http://www.notonebit.com/projects/weather/".
Can anyone share their knowledge to this poor guy eager to learn?
Thank you

Flash Weather? I Think So
Alright .... I KNOW this has to be possible somehow!

I want to pass the current temperature to a flash movie based on a zipcode location that I will have on a .asp page, which will be passed to the Flash movie. So in flash I will have a var like "var currentTemp = temp" where temp is the variable passed into flash.

Does anyone know where I can find a resource for some guidance as to the .asp scripting or anything like that?

I have seen a php version, but unfortunately I need to use .asp.

Thanks to you!

[F8] Problem With PHP Driven Weather Box
I downloaded a cool little item called the "Weather box" fro here and want to implement it into my site, but it will not work. It included a PHP file, the swf, and the fla. I uploaded the swf, and php files to my server, set my area code where it said to in the php file, and apparently that was it. But it doesen't display anything but the big letter "F" for the temp, and two commas where the town, and state name shoud be. My server runs PHP scripts because my guestbook and shoutbox are PHP driven, so I really don't understand why it is not working.

Here is the code:

<---begin code--->

Code:
<?php
//Set your zipcode here:
$zip = 13148;

//You shouldn't have to change anymore.
define('WEATHER_URL', 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss');

var $data;

function getWeather($zip, $units='f') {
$units = strtoupper($units);
$path=WEATHER_URL."?p=$zip&u=f";
$this->data = @file_get_contents($path);
$fp = @fopen($file, 'w');
@fwrite($fp, $this->data);
@fclose($fd);

if(strlen($this->data) <= 0) return;

$attributes = explode('"', $this->GetTagAttributes('yweather:condition'));
$saved_units = explode('"', $this->GetTagAttributes('yweather:units'));
$location = explode('"', $this->GetTagAttributes('yweather:location'));
$saved_units = strtoupper($saved_units[1]);
$return = array();
$return['text'] = $attributes[1];
$return['temp'] = $this->convert($saved_units, $units, $attributes[5])."&deg;{$units}";
$return['image'] = $this->TranslateCode($attributes[3]);
$return['city'] = $location[1];
$return['state'] = $location[3];
$return['country'] = $location[5];

return $return;
}

function GetTagAttributes($tag, $skip=0) {
$start = -1;
for($i = 0; $i <= $skip; $i++)
$start = strpos($this->data, "<{$tag}", $start + 1);
if($start === false) return false;
$start += strlen($tag) + 1;
$end = strpos($this->data, "</{$tag}>", $start);
if($end === false)
$end = strpos($this->data, '/', $start);
return trim(substr($this->data, $start, $end - $start));
}

function convert($in, $out, $temp) {
if($in == $out) return $temp;
return number_format(($temp - 32) / 1.8, 0);
}

function TranslateCode($code) {

Display HTML Weather
I would like to place an HTML generated weather link in my Flash authored site. Following is the code that I have downloaded from http://netweather.accuweather.com/ad...gnup-page3.asp

Is there a way to do this? An external AS file perhaps??

External Source, Weather Help.
Ok bare with me whilst I confuse you loads!

I have my seasonal island which cleverly changes itself in time with the natural world, i.e. today the island looks like its the middle of autumn.

Now I'm trying to install a weather system. I currently have one, where I just randomly placed Rain and Snow movie clips at different days.
For example, on the 4th of september, there is a rain movie clip, that will play all day of the 4th, however this means every 4th of september there will be rain.

I was wandering if there was a way to reference to like a weather website, and create like a complicated if statement, so it only rains when the weather website says there will be rain...

does this make sense?
Does it sound aty all possible?


Thank you.

Time/weather Rotation
Hello,

I'm trying to do some research. I own a digital advertising company and have ads that rotate in establishments...but what I want to do is on my logo, have it rotate, and on one time it'll show the current time, and when it rotates to the other side it'll show the current weather for that city.

Is there any sort of plugins or something someone could help me with to plugin to flash to do this sort of thing?

Any help would be appreciated,

My server is PHP, if you know how to help me, please let me know, I will appreciate it, and so will do the rest of Flash-PHP community people.... ;)

Thanks in advance...

Weather Channel Desktop
Hi.
I had to do a system recovery.
I re-insalled all programs which worked fine before.
When installed the free version of the Weather Channel Desktop, it does not display the information on the pop up window.
I noticed that this happened after I installed the new version of Media Flash Player. All I get is a blue screen.
It had always worked with the previous versions.
Do I have to install something else for it to work?
I've tried contacting the Weather Channel but they do not respond.
Thanks.

Weather Data Question.
I have an idea for a weather app. It would conceive of a small square (about 160x160) and in the square you'd have text at the bottom telling you the time and temperature. The animation at the top of the graphic would reflect the weather. (ie. Snowing if it was snowy, raining if it was rainy, sunny if it was clear, etc.)

Any ideas as to where I'd get data to update the Flash app?

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Loading Weather.com Temperature Bar Into The .swf
i feel like this is possible, and i've tried a variety of ways from getUrl() to loadMovie() commands to bring/load the HTML that contains the script from weather.com( to get the current temperature of the area) into a container in my flash website and i cannot get it to load any which way.

this is all the code in the body of the HTML that is needed.
Code:
<script src='http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/11779?template=TRVLV&par=1019369021&unit=0&key=e1fca39755b6808f7d38e2695a1019bf'></script>
im trying to get this into a container that i have in my flash website called weather_cont. Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.
thanks.

Weather Variables In Flash Mx
hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to get the accurate weather (temperature, cloudy/sunny/rainy/...) from an existing server somewhere into a flash mx file?

For those who have windows vista already: there's a weather gadget that shows the temperature and a graphical representation of the sky outside, at that particular location, at that particular time (so very accurate).

First problem: where can I find a server who provides me of this data?
Second problem: where to start with the actionscript?

I really hope that someone can help me out cause I'm completly stuck.

thanks !

Add A Weather Underground Sticker To Fla
Help! I have had a weather underground sticker on my site for a few years. Now I am changing to a flash site and since the data displayed changes I'm stuck on how to add it. I tried using Layers in Dreamweaver to display the sticker above the flash, but it didn't work. The basic sticker can be seen at http://www.ronbigus.com. Adding a link to a button isn't a problem but when the link is sending dynamic data what do you do, Action Script is new to me, but I'm guessing that is the way to go. Anyone already done this?

Creating A Dynamic Weather Map?
Hello, I don't post much, but I'm a huge fan of the site and have been a member for a number of years.

Having said that, I'm curious to know if there is a way to build a weather map, which updates after a certain duration, sort of like this:

I'd also like to see temperatures. Would AS 3.0 be the right way to go?
