Weather In Flash
Is it possible to put weather into your flash applications, maybe something associated with www.weather.com?

Just wondering, sounds like a pretty spiffy idea for your flash websites.

Thanks,

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!

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 !

Weather Report With Flash Not Working
Hey guys,

I'm using the following script to call the weather temperature and condition in the flash header of my site (52° Mostly Cloudy). When I test it out locally, it works perfect, but when I test it live on my site, the two fields show up as "undefined ° undefined."

Take a look at it and tell me what looks wrong, I would REALLY appreciate it.

myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.load("http://mysite.com/includes/classes/weather.php");
myVars.temp;
myVars.forecast;
loadVariables("http://mysite.com/includes/classes/weather.php","");
myVars._path = this;
myVars.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
//trace (" variables loaded ");
for( var prop in this ) {
//trace (" key " + prop + " = " + this[prop]);
}
} else {
//trace (" Error loading variables ");
}
}
myVars.onLoad = function() {
//display the values in the text box
lBox.text = this.temp + "° " + this.Forecast;
//trace(this.forecast);
}

NOAA Weather Web Service In Flash
Hi,
i am really new to Flash and am enjoying the learning process but i have a question which i cant figure out. I live in Colorado Springs and there are three web services (areas) that i am interested in putting in my website. For starters, I only want to get advisories, watches and warnings. If there are none i don't want anything displayed (just the background color), if there is one of the above for either the Pike's Peak Region, Northern El Paso County and Southern El Paso County i want to display it. (Basically have three containers for each region). In addition, to get "fancy", i would like to have a colored box above the container which has orange for advisory, yellow for watch and red for warnings...can someone please help/show me how to do this. I am struggling with the whole thing including connecting to the web service. The idea is good, putting it into action is another thing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Weather Component Using Flash MX Professional 2004
Hi,
I found a weather component on Flashkit.com and am trying to build something similar to it. I am having a serious problem with the ActionScript. I am learning from a Flash 4 tutorial and the code is way off because I am using Flash MX Professional 2004. I am unfamiliar with loading ASP into Flash or I would not bug all of you with this problem. I have taken many Flash classes but no one ever bothered to show me how to do anything of real importance.

Please take a look at my attached files and if you can fix the problem please let me know how to do it. I would appreciate it very much. Thanks for your time and your help!

Trying To Convert A Html Weather Link To Flash
(using 6.0)

I'm trying to convert a link I got from a weather site from its original html in order to integrate it into our flash page. Is this even possible? Here is the html:

[F8] Importing Weather Data Into Flash Project
Hey all,

I'm currently designing a "mock" ski resort website for a project at university and was wondering if anybody had any good links to tutorials, examples or just general info regarding pulling "real-time" weather conditions into Flash (AS 2).

I've registered an account at weather.com and have access to their XML feeds... now i just need to figure how to sort out what info i actually need (not much) and get it to display into my .swf.

ANY and all help is extremely appreciated. I'm comfortable with the flash environment but am lacking a bit in the "behind the scenes" actionscripting jazz.

thanks,
ryan

How To Display Simple Weather Info In Flash

Building A Dynamic Weather Maps Flash MX Demo
Because I work for a company that aggregates a wealth of different kinds of data from weather to energy to commodities, I wanted to create a PC wallpaper application that would enable our clients to click on a tab at the side of their computer screen and display various types of information retrieval services. One tab would let you check the latest equity prices from stocks to corn. A second tab would display the latest wire service headlines and by clicking on a headline you could read the latest newswire story. A third tab would display a drop-down menu system for various weather maps including current conditions,regional radar images and world satellite images.

I now have all three of these components working and am gradually integrating them into a single flash movie that will be available to our clients as either individual Flash components or as a consolidated SWF wallpaper application.

Because this forum has been helpful in either pointing me in the direction to solutions for various problems or providing me with a soap box to air those problems, and thereby helping me verbalize the problem and come up with the solutions on my own, I thought I would share with the group a demonstration version of the weather maps application I have been wrestling with the past week. Novices like myself may find it useful as a reference on how to build a flash menu system and to pull, resize and reposition JPEG images using a combination of attachMovie() and createEmptyMovieClip() functions.

Due to the number of images that accompnay the flash files, I wasn't able to upload the ZIP file to the forum, which has a 102,000 byte limit. So, if you would like to download the 919,004 bytes demo, it will be available at the following URL:

http://www.dtnmarketaccess.com/flash/DTNwxMaps_demo.zip

Please note that this Flash MX demo is very basic and lacks many of the refinements I plan to incorporate into the version that will eventually be part of the final application. For example, the menus don't automatically collapse if you don't select a map to view. Also for obvious security reasons, I included a set of static weather maps dated from August 19, 2003. The working version pulls the most current images from the Meteorlogix image server.

There is a ReadMe text file that accompanies the images, .fla, .swf and .html files for this application. I hope you enjoy it. It was challenging to develop and ultimately very simple in its final structure.

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.

[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 -

Getting Weather From Bbc.co.uk
Hey guys I rarely speak on the forums lol so Im a bad member although i did take part in the giant picture chain thread! anywys I would like to implement a search feature i.e. a postcode box where a user inserts there postcode clicks a submit button then is sent to the corrosponding page on the bbc!

the search box is on the bottom right hand side of the www.bbc.co.uk/weather a view source will tell you what you need to know I belive this is the code but you can go to the site to see more.


Code:
<td bgcolor="#99cc66" valign="top" colspan="3" rowspan="3" class="searchbox"><div style="padding:0px; margin:4px;" class="display">
<form name="search" method="get" action="/cgi-perl/weather/search/new_search.pl"><h2 style="padding:0px; margin:0px; color:#ffffff;"><label for="search_query">Search</label></h2><strong style="color:#ffffff;">for a new 5 day forecast</strong><br />
<div style="padding:0px; margin:0px; float:right;"><input type="image" value="Submit" src="/weather/images/gui/gr_but_submit_5day.gif" width="26" height="21" id="submit" name="submit" alt="GO" border="0" tabindex="3" /></div><input type="text" name="search_query" id="search_query" size="8" title="To search for a five day forecast please enter your location name or postcode and click GO" style="width:125px;" accesskey="8" tabindex="2" />
<br clear="all" /></form>
I'm learning snippets of flash all the time and working this out would really aid in understanding more of how flash handles things!

I have an input box and button allready setup I just need to work out what code to insert in the on (release) { } section and what var's to call the input box and if anything else is need to process this I assume what they insert in input box on the bbc gets sent using the get command to a search then return something I can use .
I want the user to open the bbc.co.uk page corresponding to the postcode seperatley (_blank)

Many thanks if any Kirupians can point me in the right direction and explain along the way! cheers!

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

[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');

$end = strpos($this->data, "</{$tag}>", $start);
if($end === false)
$end = strpos($this->data, '/', $start);
return trim(substr($this->data, $start, $end - $start));
}
