Flash :: Flash Markup Language

Using Web Standard Markup In Flash
Hello,

Simple question: I have numerous transitional xhtml pages marked up and ready to go. The code is basic but uses a few tags that are not recognized in Flash via HTML import- <h1>, <div> etc. Is there a best practice method for using this code without having to "dummy" down the code for use in Flash? Is there any advantage to importing the xhtml pages as XML and going that route or will I have the same problem?

Thanks,
Bob

Flash Inventing Nonexistent Markup <li>
Hi There--

Have put together a site where textfields are imported using the loadVars command.

Here it is:

http://grasshpr.home.mindspring.com/...ernate1_3.html

Here's the entire folder, which includes the textfiles and the fla:
http://grasshpr.home.mindspring.com/shinnAlternate1

The problem is that on some of the textfiles, Flash is adding markup where there isn't any, in the form of list dots. The kind you get when you put <li> in front of a line. (It probably won't do it for you. Flash just wants to drive me crazy. (It's succeeding.))

This only occurred in the last iteration of the design.

It's occurring on both of the computers I have access to, so it's something in the file.

Since this is the first time I've imported text, I'm utterly clueless as to what could be making this happen.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you solve it?

Any insight will be vastly appreciated.

Thanks for reading this,

My Flash Variables Contain Html Markup?
am using actionscript below to post variables to cgi script:

stop();
avertissement = "";
t_name.text = "";
t_email.text = "";
t_phone.text = "";
t_comments.text = "";
recipient ="user@domain_name.com";
subject="Enquiry from website";

bt_submit.onRelease = function() {
if (t_name.text == "") {
avertissement += " name";
}
if (t_email.text == "") {
avertissement += " email adress";
}
if (t_comments.text == "") {
avertissement += " comments";
}
if (avertissement !== "") {
t_status.text = "Please fill in these fields : "+avertissement;
avertissement = "";
} else {
loadVariablesNum("cgi-bin/nms_formmail.pl", 1, "POST");
t_status.text = "";
nextFrame();
}
};

bt_clear.onRelease = function() {
avertissement = "";
t_name.text = "";
t_email.text = "";
t_phone.text = "";
t_comments.text = "";
t_status.text = "";
};

The flash variables are sent to the script which generates an email message but the variables seem to come with html markup. Here is what comes in the email:

Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by (<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">test@test.com</TEXTFORMAT>) on Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 17:31:17
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

comments: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">test message</TEXTFORMAT>

phone: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">000 555 3430343</TEXTFORMAT>

name: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">test name</TEXTFORMAT>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The same script works fine with html, have been searching everywhere trying to find a solution but everything I try either doesn't work or still sends variables with markup??

Any ideas??

Namespaces In Xml For Html Markup
hi, we have an xml file we will be loading into a project. The xml will be littered with AS3 friendly styling (inline) but we were hoping to avoid the ugly CDATA--ie:
Code:
<![CDATA[This is text]]>
The approach we are hoping to accomplish would be declaring a namespace in the xml:

Code:
<pages>
<page>
<content xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<text targetid="1">
<h:font color='#ffffff'>This text</h:font>will go into the box with id of 1.
</text>
<text targetid="2">
This text will go into the box with id of 2.
</text>
</content>
</page>
</pages>
i know there is a Namespace class, but i am not sure how to tie the two together....can someone give me a lead? I have read this , but it does not lead me to the connection with how this MAY work with html...if at all.

XML Text Displaying Markup

Scripting Language VS Programming Language
Dear Sir,
I cannot understand which is the difference between a scripting language(like actionscript or applescript) and a programming language (like java or C++).
I know that actionscript 2.0 is similar to javascipt. so it must be a scripting language.
but actionscipt 3.0 is most simmilar like java or C++.
so why it is still a scripting language?
Thank you upfront for your interest.

Unwanted HTML Markup In Text Box Value
I've inherited a Flash MX 2004 document that has some text entry points that verify you've entered the right text before continuing or provide you a warning message and urge you to try hard. They're set up like so:

Code:
on (keypress "<Enter>")
{
if (titleInputText == "hoped-for text entry")
{
gotoAndPlay("someNamedTarget");
}
else
{
comment = "Hey--enter hoped-for text entry to continue!";
}
}
Some of them just weren't behaving at all correctly. With some handy-dandy trace() statements, I found that a few of them were returning values that included HTML formating of the text. Instead of getting

Code:
something entered

I was getting

Code:
something entered

which is causing me all sorts of problems. How on earth can I turn off the HTML tags? Where did it come from?

(Why, yes, I do know just enough to get myself in trouble. Why do you ask?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.

Retaining Markup Tags In HtmlText Fields
Is it possible to wrap an XML object so that it's element tags are preserved (not parsed) if it populates a text field as htmlText? I'm trying to use XML in an htmlText field where other (non-XML) text is styled using CSS. I get the results I'm looking for (except for the CSS) when I populate the text field as plain text (not htmlText).

I tried wrapping the XML in a <![CDATA[]]> tag, but that too was parsed when used as htmlText.

Any ideas?

W3C Markup Validation Service Web Site Shows Lots Of Errors For .swf Object
Hello;

I'm using the method to insert a .swf file into an Html document as described in the "Frequently Asked 'Flash' Questions" tutorial in this forum:
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210919

The flash object works fine in my browser.

When I try to validate the Html using the W3C Markup validation service it says that there are no attributes for SRC, QUALITY, PLUGINSPAGE, TYPE, WIDTH, HEIGHT, and MENU. It also says that the element EMBED is undefined.

Since it shows so many errors it looks like the W3C Markup Validation Service might not configured to work to .swf objects.

You can copy and paste the code below and you can see what I'm talking about. Here's the link to the W3C Markup Validation Service page:
http://validator.w3.org/

PHP Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Shockwave Flash Movie</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#AAAAAA">
 <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="300" height="250">
 <param name="movie" value="300 x 250.swf" />
 <param name="quality" value="autohigh">
 <param name="menu" value="false" />
<embed src="300 x 250.swf" quality="autohigh" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="250" menu="false"></embed>
 </object>
</body>
</html>

I think that using the flash object will be ok but for my peace of mind can somebody tell me is it safe or wise to use the .swf object when the W3C web site shows so many errors?

Thanks.

Flash : Multi Language
Hi,

i would like to have a multi language flash animation.
for that i use String Panel and Dynamic texts.

Locale.setFlaName("<flaFileName>");
Locale.setDefaultLang("langcode");
Locale.addXMLPath("langcode", "url/langcode/flaname_langcode.xml");

this is 1 issue : mx.lang.Locale does not exist as library.

Script Language Flash Question?
Hello,

I have a certain script that I would like to use in a flash project of mine, however the script is not action script. Normally you embed it into a webpage and when I send the page to a friend and it is open, it makes their cd eject. Its very harmless but funny! Now the problem is I'm not allowed to make the flash open to the page with the script in it or the project gets removed. I am wondering if there is a way to simply put the script into a flash button located in my project? That way it does the same thing and stays in the orginal flash when the user clicks the button.

Here is the script code:



<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

</SCRIPT>

Any Flash work are mostly done using English Language. But i need to know, how to use a different language like (Arabic, French, Any Indian Language)?

I have installed the rrequired fonts in my machine. I have also changed the .dll fill as directed in Microsoft Help. I have changed the reginal options inside the control Panel.

When i type any word using any of this languge other than English, Word document or Notepad or create a webpage, the font is utilized with the corresponding language. But in Flash, what must be done? Should i need to use action scripting? Or any other alternative?

Please suggest me a proper method....

Thank you
