Content Editor For Flash Sites
Hi.
I've just released something new that can be useful to some of you guys.
www.flintcms.com
This in an easy to install and easier to use content editor for flash sites. Doesn't require a database and can be setup in a matter of minutes.
Try the demo. It's good for 30 days. This allows you to install TTF files on the server so that the administrator can use them in the content, limit the available colors for text, image/swf on text, etc...
Expert users can also customize it to work with hardcore backends.
Hope you like it.
Managing Content - HTML & Flash Sites
Hello,
I'm creating a site that will maintain two versions, HTML and Flash. Is there a superior method to manage the content? Obviously, I don't want to update two sites so I was thinking of writing the content to an XML file and having both sites read from the XML. Would that be the best route? Thanks for any opinions.

Sourcing Images
There are hundreds of clipart sites out there but most seem to have that uniquly "clipart" feel to them.
Does anyone know any good places to source vector graphics for everyday objects?
So far I found http://www.bitfolio.co.uk and I bought their Robert Duncan CD which has some nice stuff but I could do with more.
I'm particularly looking for household/office objects and maps.
How Do They Do That? - Visit Http:// Www.us.playstation.com/Content/Sites/65/Info/
Hi everyone
I need someone out there to show me how the menu design is created. It has that element of the mac pather interface where the mouse cursor would touch any of the five icons (settings, photo, music, video and game) and the icons would zoom in with spring and bounce. Having the text at the bottom is an awesome touch. It's an unbelievable design and full credit to the designer.
It's my aim to create my own flash website, showing off my photography skills. I would be over the moon if I could understand how such a technique was made.
I welcome any sort of help whatsoever.
thanks
Flash Content Management System For 100+ Sites A Year
My company commisions 100+ flash sites each year to support the marketing of our artists and we are finding amendments to these sites can be a significant expense.
Although we encourage the designers to be creative with the interface, generally developed in Flash, the components are often replicated.
Components may generally include:
Artist blogs
Tour diary
Image or photo pages
Members area
Video or Audio files
Embedded video or audio player
Currently a CMS will be developed by the design agency involved for the first site that they develop, which they subsequently use for all following sites.
I need to find a suitable Content Management systems that allows for simplified updating of dynamic content, that any agency we commision can use. It must allow for internal staff with limited technical skills to update several dynamic areas of the site, however should not limit the creativity.
Any suggestions?
Simple Content Management System For Flash Sites?
Hey,
I am designing a flash site for a friend, however I want it so that he can do his own updates. It's just for the news text box and maybe images in the gallery. Is it possible to do this without using expensive server technologies, like with just PHP or something. Basically I need more info on this subject can you please point me in the right direction,
Thanks a lot

Internet Explorer's Impediment To Visitors Of Sites With Flash Content
Since newer versions of IE have come out, Microsoft has subtly but effectively provided an impediment to visitors of sites with Flash content. If using IE, when hovering over an embeded Flash object, IE forces site visitors to click once before the user can interact with the embeded object. Importantly, event listeners do not seem to work reliably before the control is "activated" by the user's click.
Yet, when I use IE to browse Adobe's site, IE is silent, and Flash objects work as expected without prompting me to "activate" anything that I hover over. I know that Adobe is a heavy user of .swfs on their site.
The question is: what special code is included in Adobe's pages to effectively neutralize IEs impediment? As Adobe already has a fix for this annoying IE problem, I'm surprised the fix isn't more widely talked about or communicated to the hundreds of millions of Flash users, or perhaps I am not looking in the right places.

External Content Loader With Multiple Content Types (trouble Loading Graphics)
Hey all!
I am yet another new project. Our flash designer here isn't a big AS guy, and asked me to write a reusable class so that he can load a variety of content types using minimal amount of code on his part. It's also going to be the main component piece in a larger external content player once I'm done with the class itself, so I am making the loading functions into public methods of the loader object than can be called from a button, etc.
I have the code for the text and html parts working (although I can't get stage.width and stage.height to work in the class or from the frame).
The problem I have is that I can't get the graphics content to load (the swf/pic content). Could you please check my code and tell me what I'm missing? I'm sure it's something simple, like it always is.
thanks a million!

Hiding/Masking Off-stage Content (external Content)
Hi,
I'm loading an image gallery into another movie. The image gallery itself uses XML to generate a row of thumbnails dynamically. In it's own player, this is fine, but when loaded into the larger movie, the row of thumbnails extends far beyond the container clip.
I've set the size of the container clip with an onLoad function, but I have no idea how to appropriately mask it so there is no spillover. Using a mask in the gallery clip doesn't work because the gallery is 100% scripted (unless I'm missing something terribly basic).
Is there a general method to use, aside from creating infinitely large opaque boundaries around the stage?
Thanks for any tips or insight!
Linking To External Sites
Hi,
I have a body of text. Within this text, I would like to link a certain few words to an external site. I highlight the text, then type in the URL in the properties bar, but when I export, it opens up explorer, but does not link to the site. Can someone give me a hand with this? Is there a way to do this without using getURL?
Thanks in advance.
[F8] Password For External Sites
Hi all.
Have googled this one but not sure how to even keyword it. I've made a site in Flash 8. That sites links to a sibling site in HTML:
http://www.e-webclub.it/
where you can buy things online. To enter you need a general username and password. I would like my flash site to go to that site and automatically feed in the password, general username (there is only one) and if possible, activate the "invia" button and enter the site.
Is this incredibly difficult or incredibly easy? I'm hoping the latter.
Many thanks.
Open External Documents/web Sites?
hi everyone. what is the best way using AS3 to open external text documents and websites? In AS2 I used to build simple generic functions and do it like this:
Code:
//AS2 code:
var externalLink:String = null;
var externalDoc:String = null;
function openLink() {
getURL(externalLink, "_blank");
}
function openDoc() {
getURL(externalDoc, "_blank");
}
I simply populated the string variables and sent them to the functions.
now I'm starting to use AS3 and wondering what's the best way to do this?
thank you

Loading External Sites (HTML) In Flash... Is It Possible?
Ok, im getting fustrated because i really need to know how to load pages the way http://www.pdk.pl/index_f.html does. The reason for this is that the size of the swf is changing depending on which page u are on. I checked the source code and have no clue what it means. Then i downloaded a complier to see the AS and the decomplier keeps saying it either is a page that contains frames or just flat doesn't work. PLEASE help me find out how http://www.pdk.pl/index_f.html (in terms of changing pages). Thanks VERY MUCH.
*EDIT*I found that it consists of too 'frames' but they arent traditional frames. Here is the link to the seperate pages http://www.pdk.pl/mainFrame_f.html.

He'p Loading Web Sites Into Flash Sites
Hey, all--
I'm trying to find a way to load an external website directly into a specific area of a Flash movie/site, without opening up a new window or replacing all of the movie's contents in the current browser window. My movie is built around a designed frame (not .html frame, but a graphic that frames the content) with a nav bar along the left side of the frame and a big hole in the center where most of the content lives. Is there a way I can load sites directly into that hole, keeping the graphic frame and nav bar where they are, around it? Or would it require rebuilding the page using .html frames, cutting up the graphics around the hole and making each of those chunks its own .html frame?
Thanks for any help!
External Libraries With External Content
Hey all,
Ok, I will try and be as clear as I can. I realize that there is a possibility in flash to obtain data from external swf libraries. But is there a way to store images such as jpegs in other libraries so that when the main swf needs curtain images, it loads the external libary and diplays the thumb nail and aswell as the large image.
I am aware of using external jpegs but I need to organise a set of specific images in one area because of the number of images that i have. I do not want to creaate alot of script to target alot of images in alot of folders.
eg.
I have 18 categories and each category has more than 20 images in each one. so can i just have each category in its own swf library then make the main swf just access it contents when assigned to?
iam sorry for the long request but i tried to make it short
any suggestions?
External Content
i am loading external copy into a dynamic text feild.
can you tell me why this code isn't working?
Code:
//Create a new instance of the loadVars object and assign it to a variable
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("test.txt");
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function (success){
if (success){
trace ("done loading");
//Now that we know the data is loaded,
//set the text content of the Text Field
//with the instance name "scroller" equal to the
//contents of the variable
scroller.text = this.var1
}else{
trace ("not loaded");
}
}
External Content
I am making a web site and i want parts of the site to load in from an externat swf and then in another area to load a website all strait into the main swf. I also need to know how to control how big it is, were its placed, and how to control weather its scrollable or not.
Any ideas?
Using External Content
i created a simple swf which is basically acts as a container loading in a jpg and some text.
It works fine locally and when viewed in html: see here http://www.outoffocusonline.com/flash/content/andy.html
however as i piece it all together in a site it does not work fully http://www.outoffocusonline.com/fla...tent/andy2.html, only the image appears? This means my linking code must be correct as it gets the image but not the text and they are in the same folder, i cannot understand why?
the problem movie called andy.swf is loaded by backdrop5.swf with the following code
on (release) {
loadMovie("/flash/content/andy2.swf", "info");
}
Scrollbars - External .txt That Gets Content From Php
Hey guys, I recently downloaded a guestbook from www.flash-db.com
Anyways, It all works fine except for the scroll bar.
Here is the swf: click
It works fine if I manually put text in the text box from flash, but not if I call the text in externally.
Here is the .fla: click
And here is the text file: click
If someone could modify my .fla and post it or anything, it would be GREATLY appreciated. I have been working on trying to fix this for about 1 weeks straight now.
Thanks very much guys

Preloading External Content.
I'd like to preload an external .swf
I'm using Flash MX 2004.
Here's a bit more organic description of what's going on...
Hello, I'm currently working on creating a PreLoader in Flash MX 2004.
I've actually done a fair job of creating it, but I seek council.
Due to the design and the complexity of the site, the preloader will be a seperate .swf from the main website .swf
Can anyone advise me on a way to get my preloader.swf to pre-load the external website.swf?
thanks a bunch!
<< SCROLLPANE External Content BUG
I have main movie called - 13e.swf
This loads a scrollpane movie - content_main.swf
with contentpath = - pane_menu.swf
into MC - mvmain
All this works fine offline ,
when online it has the MX MAJOR BUG porblem of loading
it too slow for the scrollpane to calculate
so it overlaps the scrollbox size.
(even if extrenal swf is 1k).
I have tried preloader... no good or send me one that
waits till all is loaded then shows up in scrollpane
working online.
(an example of working scrollpane online would
be a novel experience too )
I have read through some similar posts but still im
not able to make it work.
Please show me a fix for this.
are there any other available 3rd party scrollpane
compnents that scroll and load external.swf and works.
I have heard about the scrollpane refresh fix.
but im novis at actionscript and i cant figure it out.
please show an example and where to put it on my movie
and how i can determine when the full content of the
swf has loaded for it to refresh at the righ time.
and not give me a garbled scrollpane result.
macromedia should have a notice saying
SCROLLPANE NOT USALBLE STAY AWAY !!!!
thank you !

Preloading External Content
hello, i have two questions, but i think the answer is the similar for both:
i am trying to get external content to preload before an action is triggered. i am calling in an external .jpg into a movie clip. the timeline is stopped, but i want it to play after the jpg is loaded into the clip. the code as i have it now will start playing before the picture is loaded. is there some command for this?
also is there a way to start loading content into memory before it is triggered. i have a movie with about 10 sequences of images. the user triggers these sequences with buttons, resulting in each sequence loading only when clicked. i want to start loading these external swf files into memory so that but the time the user clicks on the button with the loadMovie() command, the swf is already loaded in memory. thanks, and help would be greatly appreciate.
here is the code from the picture loader:
code:
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min))+min;
return randomNum;
}
_root.imageToLoad = randRange(1, 5);
startMovie = function () {
play();
imageHolder.loadMovie(_root.imageToLoad+".jpg");
};
stop();
picture.onLoad = startMovie();
Preloader For External Content
i've built preloaders for flash movies before, but i'd like to make one for my movie to load external jpgs and swf files. is there a tutorial around or would anyone be able to point me in the right direction on starting something like that?
Loading External Content
Hi. I am making my first site using the loadMovie(); action (pretty sad...). Anyway, since I'm to this, (loadMovie), I was wondering, first of all, what the best way of doing this would be. Secondly: what are levels? And thirdly how do I preload external content...do I just put a preloader within the movie I'm loading, ect... Lastly, what should the actions on my menu be (ie. load this movie, unload all other movies, if that's even possible ).
Thanks,

[F8] Controlling External Content
Hi there. I apologize of there is a similar post already, I really didn't know how to approach this, so I didn't know what to search for.
A database provides:
var ImageCount = number - Total images, may be up to 10 or more
var Thumbnail_1 thru _10 - the url for each of the images
I can easily get the movie to load the images into 3 empty movie clips, but what I need to do is:
1. Load 3 images at a time, then click a next button and load the next 3 etc. reverting back to the first image once all have been cycled through. So if there are 5 images, it would load: 1,2,3 then 4,5,1 then 2,3,4 etc.
2. I need to be able to load all of the images in a series, so that the entire list of thumbnails is scrollable horizontally or vertically.
Any help on how best to approach this type of thing would be greatly appreciated. Anything to at least get me started in the right direction would be helpful.
Thanks very much
Loading External Swf With XML Content
I'm having issues after loading an external .swf into my main movie. Here are the specifics -
The external .swf contains a flash mp3 player that I built which brings in two mp3's via a small xml script.
Upon loading which works fine it seems like the xml part is not getting triggered.
Any help would be appreciated....
Button Down With External Content
I'm trying to find a way of keeping a mc button on the last frame of it's timeline i.e. down the problem being the buttons function is to load an external swf into a container on the _root timeline.

}
}

Preloading External Swf Containing Xml Content
Hey There,
I'm having a problem preloading xml loaded content. I'm using the usual this.getbytesloaded at the start of my timeline. The problem is this is getting the total bytes for the container swf before the xml has loaded up all the images and content so my preloader is running short.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
External Content In Scrollpane?
How do you load external formatted content into a scrollpane? Anybody know a good tutorial? Or code? Is it the exact same as loading into a dynamic text box?
Loading External Movie Content
Hey, I need some information on how to load an external swf file into an existing movie with the click of a button.
I'll try and make that sound a bit clearer. Basically when you have a website with frames you can click links and the content is told to load in a target frame. Thats basically what i want to do in flash. If anyone could throw some information my way i'd be greatful.
Thanks
Load External Content Question
I've made a full flash site controlled using the _root timeline and frame labels. For the content of individual pages i want to load external content to keep the filesize down. I know how to load external swf's into blank mc's using a button to load the content but for this i want the content to load when the playhead reaches the particular frame where the page has animated in and stopped. What actionscript would i need to use for the event to be a frame number or label rather than a button click?. Would it be possible for this to load into a scrollpane or an mc with a scrollbar attached?.
Thanks.
Dynamic And External Content Tutorials
prefacing this post with the foreknowledge that there is a dynamic content, tutorials section here
i was just wondering if there were any good sites out there, that gave you lotsa MX / MX 2004 tutorials on flash's various abilities to work with external and dynamic content.
stuff like pulling information from text files, or loading in external swfs, grabbing and animating external jpgs
stuff that you can change or add, without actually changing the flash file (y'know?)
yes, i know there are some here, but some're old, and there really aren't that many. there are probably tons of useful tips on these boards, but... i don't really have a specific question, so i don't even know what to search for.
i'm just looking to learn, in general
External Content Problem/question
i have 2 things i would like to know about using external swf's.
#1: i have a button on the main stage that loads an external swf clip on top of the main stage, hiding the buttons on the main stage, but when you mouse over the external swf that is playing, your cursor can still click the buttons beneath the clip. How can i make it so you cant trigger the buttons when while the external content is on top of them?
#2: also in a loaded external swf, can you make a button on the swf itself that allows you to close it (unload it).
thats it, thx
Load External Content Before Playing The MC
No misunderstanding, I don't want to know how to load external files into my movie, nope.
I need something more complicated. Think of this:
Main movie ---> External SWF ---> External JPG
In your main movie, you need to load an external .SWF and this file includes some external .JPG files.
What we are tring to achive here is to somehow preload those external JPG files before our External SWF plays! The result will be just the same as the pictures are embeded in the external SWF. So the external SWF won't play unless all the external JPG files are loaded completly.
Can any one help me with this?!
I've been spending hours and hours on this but no success!
I've also been searching the whole net but no where I could find something similar to what is needed.
I apriciate your help,
Regards,
Hadi
[F8] Stop Scrolling External Content
hello everybody, here's my question:
i figured how to get xml external file to load external contents in my swf. that's is already a lot for my actionscript knowledge level!
Now i want to scroll the contents (basically text and images) which it could be any size, i mean i can constantly update it with new stuff.
the problem is that so far i can scroll but i can't make it stop when the content is finished. and that happens in both ways: up and down.
i want it to stop scrolling when i get at top and stop when it gets at the end
how could i do?
here's the scroll down button script
on (press, release) {
setProperty("home", _y, getProperty("home", _y)-20);
}
i hope this was clear enough
anyone could help me?
Https, Flash, And External Content Via Xml
We have a flash 8 program that is reading xml to get the path to external media. The file works fine in http on FIrefox, but does not seem to be able to find the media under https (no media appears or plays). In Internet Explorer, it won't load a swf file that is in the same domain (the file to load is located 2 folders back on the root of the same website).
-I have tried using the 'crossdomain.xml' file that was referenced in an Adobe tech note, but that didn't seem to make any difference (I put it in the root of the server). And this would have only been to allow Flash to access external media as all the swf files to load and xml to read and external media is on the same domain.
- We are using html to load the swf - no php.
- all of the media is in a subfolder beneath the folder with the swf and html in it.
I think that the xml is being read okay, because the flash file displays the number of pages (which comes from the xml).
So, I think it's just a security issue in retrieving data from a subfolder on https.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Dynamically Loading Content To An External Swf
hey,
i'm importing an external swf to a movieclip. In the imported swf is a text box which is populated using content from a xml doc, this information is called through the main swf. this works fine if the swf is exported from another .fla. but if i create this external swf within the main fla and exported from the library the xml content isn't loaded into the textfield. anyone know why this is.
The reason that it is important is because i need the registration point to be the centre of the swf.
thanks

Loading External Swf With Offstage Content In It
Hi!
I have several swf:s created by another guy which I want to use. These external swf:s are basically slideshows with sliding and scaling sprites + texts. We have decided to work in 800 x 600 and to fill out this area the sprites are a bit larger, making sliding them possible.
The problem is, when I load these swf:s, ALL content is shown, even parts of sprites that were hidden off stage in the external swf.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks!

Using External Interface On Local Content
We're using External Interface for interfacing between Flash and
JavaScript on the HTML page. All works fine online. When we try to
localize the pages though (so that a Salesperson can have a CD full of
demos), none of them seem to work.
Is this an over-sensitive Flash security issue? We already have
allowscriptaccess='always' and swliveconnect=true in the object/embed tags.
What can we do that doesn't require changes on each individual machine
to set trust paths or any other kind of browser configuration? Not only
do we want to have this content working on the machine of a salesperson,
we may get clients that want to deploy content offline (kiosks, machines
without any network access).
