Client Updates?
I'm trying to set up a flash site for a band (my first site btw) After I have finished the site, they would like to manage it themselves (i.e. update pictures, text, songs). They have no experience using web programs and will be using a PC to update (I'm using MAC). Is there a way that I can design the site so that a non-flash user can perform these updates? Are there any cross-platform issues I need to address?


Thanks,

Mike

Text Updates
Hi guys

Ive got a small job to make a website for a fancy restaurant, they want to change the daily menu but want the whole site in flash, they have no knowledge on using flash or uploading files......

Ideally i would like to create a web page that they can log onto, even if its just a flash page (with flash log-in) part of the movie that which can update the text with different size for text headers etc??? is there an easy way to do this or do I have to set up a PHP upload file somehow? if so can anybody point me in the right direction (PS have never used any PHP/ASP!)

cheers JP (designer with little knowledge of complex coding!)

End User Updates?
I have a client that travels quite a bit. He would like to be able to update his site himself with pics from the road, and a "news from the road" journal. Is there any way to make this available to him since his site is done exclusively in flash?

Flash Updates
My site has a flash update thing, like on IGN and Filefront. One problem is updates themself. I need to know if its possible to not only link to external pictures, but also do a fade in and out between updates.( so that anyone[other than me] can edit it it anytime)

*note* Pictures in fla are just temporary files for size and such.

Flash Mx Updates?
I am using Flash MX on a Mac. Were there ever any updates to this release? I have starting having some buggy issues and I was hoping to address it with an update that I failed to execute. If there was an update to Flash MX, where would I find it? I searched Macromedia's site and only found support for MX 2004. Help, please.

Updates In Flash
I run a small Flash design company and I have a little problem. Most of my clients are gaming clans. They like the sites I make and all, except for most of the people it's hard to update because they don't have flash, and if they did have flash they wouldn't know where to start. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can make my sites easily updatable?

Built In Updates Sytem
I am designing a website in which I want to be able to log into with my own password into the webmaster area, where I will be able to update the anouncements. Now, II have 3 dynamic text varibles which are msg1, msg2, and msg3. They are the anouncements. Now if I wanted to insert a new announcement I want to just be able to log in, and have a secure area to type in a new announcement. So I made one and I just made their dynamic text vars the same so when I logged out they would change... They do but if I were to leave and come back its blank again. So how do I make it perminant? Second part to this is how would I make the announcements move down? like say msg1 = msg2??? but thats once again is not perminant... So can I get some help please. It would be very much appreciated.

Dynamic Text Updates
I'm trying to learn Action Script in Flash and have run into a confusing problem.

I created a one frame movie with a dynamic text object and a push button object/symbol. I've created a global variable that counts the number of times that the push button has been pressed. In addition to updating the counter the push button updates the text in the dynamic text object through the variable I assigned. However, only the first update to the Dynamic text is displayed. I've tried making a two frame movie and having it alternate back to the first frame and cycling the _visibility property but only the first update to the dynamic text seems to appear.

Does anyone have any idea why this might not be working?

Thanks

Help Me (detecting Site Updates)
Yo all,

Please help!

I need my flash movie to check if a file on my site has been updated, maybe using a text file to set the current date of the file and access a site and seeing if the file has been updated by maybe checking the date on the site. Is it confusing? It is to me. I have seen it done before where it checks if a swf file has been updated.

CAN ANYONE HELP?????

Monitoring Websites For Updates
Could anyone point me in the direction of where I may find some info on this? Basically what I need to do is have an application (that I'm planning on building in Flash) where someone enters in a website address, and it will monitor the website and anytime it is updated, the user will be sent an email to notify them of the update.

I'm just not too sure how someone would approach this. Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

Your Guidance On Client Updates Please.
I am about to make a site for an illustrator of childrens books and she wants a latest news page, which of course will mean regular updates. Ideally I would like to make it so she can update the text on that page herself but I am unsure of the best way to do this, can you advise? There might be usable software for this but I don't know of it. I will be making it in flash mx, not 2004.

Thank you.

Flash Updates When XML Is Updated
Hello,

I would like to first start out describing what I am trying to do and explain what I think I need to in order to accomplish my goal.

Ok, so this is what I am trying to accomplish. I have an XML file, which contains statistics from a sport. It is game data. Basically there is a program that you input plays and then it creates a new XML file each time a play is inputted. I want to provide “live” stats on the web for people that can not make it to the game. I have decided to use flash to format the data, but I want the flash movie to update automatically every time there is a new file. The XML file builds on itself throughout the game so it would just need to load the updated stuff each time.

So, after doing some research, this is what I have come up with. I basically would need to use the XMLSocket object. This would require a program set up on a server to be able to use the object.

Would that be all I need to do in order to accomplish my task? All I need to do is retrieve data and NOT send it so would this be the best way to go? I don’t like the idea of having to get a program set up on a server, but if it is the only way to do what I want, I guess it will have to be.

Hope I was specific enough but let me know if you need more info. Hope someone can help.

Help With Detecting Javascript Updates
This is my first post, I've been searching this site for answers, and maybe I haven't searched the right terms, but nothing has come up - so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction...

I have two flash movies on the same page. The first is sending data to the second, based on the Macromedia Flash_to_Flash demo.

The first flash file has the straight forward actionscript of:


Quote:




on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
fscommand("send_toFlash", myVar);
}




Both files are hosted inside an HTML page with the following javascript:


Quote:




var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
function send_to_flash_DoFSCommand(command, args) {
var send_to_flashObj = InternetExplorer ? send_to_flash : document.send_to_flash;
var theVarFromFlash = args;
window.document.myCatch.SetVariable("catchVar",the VarFromFlash);
}
if (navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1 &&
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows") != -1 && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 3.1") == -1) {
document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>
');
document.write('on error resume next
');
document.write('Sub send_to_flash_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)
');
document.write(' call send_to_flash_DoFSCommand(command, args)
');
document.write('end sub
');
document.write('</SCRIPT>
');
}




Again, seemingly straight forward.

Now, in the second flash file I have tried to put an event listener on the textarea so that I detect any changes and call a user-defined function. (I couldn't figure out if it was possible to call a user-defined function in flash from Javascript in MX... so I am trying to detect a change in a variable and trigger the function that way.)

Here is what I have in this file:

I have a dynamic text with the instance name of myText and a var of catchVar.

Then I have the listener that attempts to call a function called catchData with the javascript sent argument of catchVar:


Quote:




var myTextListener:Object = new Object();

myTextListener.change = function(eventObj) { catchData(catchVar);}

// register the listener object with the Text component instance
myText.addEventListener("change", myTextListener);




This doesn't give any errors, but it is pretty clear that catchData() isn't being called and I haven't had any luck determining why that is the case.

Sorry for the long first post, hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue for me.

Thanks,

Jeff

Where Are The Regular Maintenance Updates?
Most expensive/professional software I own licences for receives maintenance updates and bug fix patches on a regular basis. Even with shareware and freeware, the patches and updates just keep coming. Flash Professional should certainly be no different, there's more than enough bugs to warrant some fixing. But what did we get? Nothing! Some measly updates for the Flash player, that's all. Clearly Adobe/Macromedia cannot be trusted in this department, they just move on to the next project and leave users to wrestle with bugs.

A few examples off the top of my head:

- The new smoothing algorithm introduced in Flash 8 is kaputt. It blurs bitmaps even when they're shown in 1:1 scale, anti-aliasing intentionally aliased stuff. Clearly there's some rounding error or something messing with the scale of things. For example, I used Flash 7 to make document and application icons in 128x128. They fit exactly to the pixel grid and when I exported them from Flash 7 they were sharp as can be. When I export the same icons to PNG from Flash 8 at 128x128, using the same source files, the edges are suddenly blurred. With some trial and error I discovered that I had to export them in 129x129 in order to make them look as they did from Flash 7, then crop the picture in Fireworks to 128x128.

- "Convert Lines to Fills" is a mess. It generates a completely warped rendition of the selected lines if they overlap. You have to walk Flash through the process by selecting a few lines well away from eachother, move them away from the rest, convert to fills, then repeat this process until you finally get a WYSIWYG rendition of the lines you wanted to convert.

- Various UI graphics bugs. For example if you drag-select across a number of layers and frames in the timeline and insert or delete, leftovers from the black selection rectangle are still visible in the timeline. You have to minimize/maximize the window to make it redraw correctly.

- If I enter W/H/X/Y coordinates for an object, say "10.0", it's because I want exactly 10.0. I don't want Flash to arbitrarily change it sometimes to 10.1 or 9.9. Sometimes you have to enter it twice to make it stick.

- Flash 'forgets' parts of audio files in the library. I import a lot of WAV files to the library, and sometimes a few saves down the line I discover there are mysterious silent gaps in the audio. I have to re-import the files again to fill these gaps.

- FlashPaper (it installed correctly on very few computers, you had to fix it in a DOS prompt, or FlashPaper would just hang when you try to print). I've also had complaints that my FlashPaper rendered PDF:s won't open in Mac OS X.

These are just a handful of examples I can think of at the moment, I know I've stumbled upon dozens more and I'm sure there's a collective pool of thousands. What I want to know is why Adobe/Macromedia feels it's OK to not bother with maintenance updates and fixes for a product of this price and magnitude? It's a despicable business practice I would expect from shady vaporware peddlers.

Newb Question About Updates
How do I update Flash Professional 8? I have searched the help and have only found the update button to update the help itself but nothing to update Flash. I found the update section of the website, but do I really have to figure out which updates I need and then manually download them or does Flash have a built in updater?

FMS 3.0.2 Update - How Should Updates Be Applied?
After getting FMS 3.0.1 development server up and running for testing, my employer purchased a license for the streaming edition. I noticed that FMS 3.0.2 Update was available so I downloaded it. I backed up my application and conf directories before installing 3.0.2 which was fortunate. The update replaced all my configuration files.

The update simply does a full install. The release notes don't explain that existing configurations will be overwritten, nor does it recommend backing up. Is this what I can expect for all updates?

How To Constantly Check XML For Updates
Hello! I would like to create a virtual mindmap using PHP and Flash, powered by XML. Each of the points would appear as movable connected dots like in a mindmap. However, how am I supposed to ask Flash to constantly ask for updates when I can only use loadXML() once? Can I use callback? How do I work around this problem? Thanks!

Looking For Livedocs Updates Feedback
Scan through the following LiveDocs page:

Notice how livedocs now how inline updates noted in the text. Do you like how this is done? Do you have suggestions for improvements?

Simplifying Interval Updates
The Interval class simplifies how you use timers and enter frame events when you need constant updates.

The Interval class also stores a map of the intervals created using the static Interval.getIntervalByRate( rate ) method. If you request two Intervals of the same rate using the getIntervalByRate method you will have references to the same Interval.

When an Interval is not running at the Interval.FRAME_RATE you can force screen updates using the updateAfterEvent() method in the IntervalEvent that is dispatched.


ActionScript Code:
package com.iamavila.utils{    import com.iamavila.events.IntervalEvent;        import flash.display.Sprite;    import flash.events.Event;    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;    import flash.events.IEventDispatcher;    import flash.events.TimerEvent;    import flash.utils.Timer;    /**     * The Interval class provides a simple interface for running code at a specified rate. You specify     * the rate of the Interval when creating it. The rate can be in milliseconds or the constant     * Interval.FRAME_RATE which represents the frame rate of the application. An Interval object will     * dispatch IntervalEvent.INTERVAL events for as long as an object is listening to it.     *      * The Interval class also provides a static method getIntervalByRate for retrieving a stored interval.     *      */    public class Interval extends EventDispatcher    {        /**         * Represents the frame rate of the applicatioin.         */        public static const FRAME_RATE:int = -1;                private static var intervals:Object;                /**         * The Interval class stores a map of all intervals created using this method so that only         * one interval object exists for each rate. If you want all animations running on the same frame         * rate interval you would request Interval.getIntervalByRate( Interval.FRAME_RATE ).         */        public static function getIntervalByRate( rate:int ):Interval        {            if ( !intervals )                intervals = new Object();                            if ( !intervals[ rate ] )                intervals[ rate ] = new Interval( rate );                        return intervals[ rate ];        }                private var _rate:uint;        /**         * The rate in milliseconds at which the Interval is running. -1 represents the frame rate         * of the application.          */        public function get rate():int { return _rate; }                private var dispatcher:IEventDispatcher;        private var intervalEventType:String;                /**         * Creates a new Interval object for the specified rate. Once an Interval object         * has been created you can begin listening for IntervalEvent.INTERVAL events.         *          * @param int The rate at which the Interval will dispatch IntervalEvent.INTERVAL events.         */        public function Interval( rate:int )        {            initialize( rate );        }                /**         * @inheritDoc         */        public override function addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean=false, priority:int=0, useWeakReference:Boolean=false):void        {            // if no one is listening to the interval start listening to the dispatcher            if ( !hasEventListener( intervalEventType ) )            {                // if the dispatcher is a timer we have to start it manually                if ( rate != FRAME_RATE )                    Timer( dispatcher ).start();                                    dispatcher.addEventListener( intervalEventType, triggered );            }                        super.addEventListener( type, listener, useCapture, priority, useWeakReference );        }                /**         * @inheritDoc         */        public override function removeEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean=false):void        {            super.removeEventListener( type, listener, useCapture );                        // if no one is listening to the interval stop listening to the dispatcher            if ( !hasEventListener( intervalEventType ) )            {                // if the dispatcher is a timer we have to stop it manually                if ( rate != FRAME_RATE )                    Timer( dispatcher ).stop();                                    dispatcher.removeEventListener( intervalEventType, triggered );            }        }                private function initialize( rate:int ):void        {            _rate = rate;                        if ( rate == FRAME_RATE )            {                dispatcher = new Sprite();                intervalEventType = Event.ENTER_FRAME;            }            else            {                dispatcher = new Timer( rate );                intervalEventType = TimerEvent.TIMER;            }        }                private function triggered( event:Event ):void        {            var e:IntervalEvent = new IntervalEvent( IntervalEvent.INTERVAL );                    if ( rate != FRAME_RATE )                e.updateAfterEventSource = event as TimerEvent;                         dispatchEvent( e );        }    }}


Once an Interval is created you just have to start listening to it. An Interval will not be active while no one is listening to it.

Simple demo

ActionScript Code:
package{    import com.iamavila.events.IntervalEvent;    import com.iamavila.utils.Interval;        import flash.display.Sprite;    public class IntervalDemo extends Sprite    {           public function IntervalDemo()        {            var i:Interval = Interval.getIntervalByRate( 1000 );            i.addEventListener( IntervalEvent.INTERVAL, interval );                        // to stop listening            // i.removeEventListener( IntervalEvent.INTERVAL, interval );        }                private function interval( event:IntervalEvent ):void        {            trace( "update" );        }    }}

Updates On Flash Pages?
when i work on a flash site, i sometimes upload the swf file and view it on a website. if i find an error, i correct it in flash 5 and then reupload it. but when i refresh the browser page, the swf file doesn't refresh along with it; it stays as it currently was. so far the only way i've found around this is to delete all my temp internet files before i viewed the flash file again. this makes me curious as to how some flash sites have regular updates on swf files? is there any known way to make flash files refresh when the browser is refreshed? or is one just supposed to wait until the flash file is gone from the internet temp files? is this a silly question?

Automation Of Video Updates
I have posted one thread here before about multiple videos being played in flash at the same time. Well now that I know that flash is capable of such an action, I have a second technical question.

If I am constantly downloading new videos from the web to a specified directory on my home machine, and I want the most recent 15 videos to be the ones displayed in my multiple video viewer that I am creating, can flash/actionscript do that update on its own, or do I have to do some serious external programming? By the way, all the videos will be in .flv form. Also, this is not a web app, it is a stand alone flash app.

Thanks in Advance

Updates Don't Show Up In Hosted Swf
hey! its me again
well here i come with a new prob...lol
i have a swf hosted online, in this movie text is uploaded from a text file using this script;

ActionScript Code:
language = function (file, name) {
    var vars = name+"vars";
    var langvars = new LoadVars();
    langvars.onLoad = function(ok) {
        if (ok) {
            _global[vars] = this;
            var name_var = "<b>"+this.name+"</b> | "+this.size;
            var author_var = "<b>By</b> "+this.author+" on "+this.date;
            pic.contentPath = this.picture_link;
            pic.load;
            _root.name.htmlText = name_var;
            _root.author.htmlText = author_var;
        } else {
            with (not_load) {
                _x = 50;
                _y = 35;
                var txt = "Could not be loaded";
            }
            pic._x = -500;
        }
    };
    langvars.load(file);
};//NOTE: it is not called!! this is just the script
 

it loads just fine, i also have an update section in this movie which updates the variables very well through a php script which also works.
now my problem is...i use cpanel when i update the text file through my movie, and i close my browser window and run the web page again to see the updates, i don't see them! in cpanel when i click on "Edit File" to edit the txt file it shows my updates with the variables updated, but when i click on "View File" or in the file's url (eg:http://mysite.com/flash/variables_txt.txt) it is not updated!!! and it shows the name=undefined...as when i view the text file!! what is going on? plz some one help i'm desperate!

Dynamic Flash Updates
i dont know if this is even supported (im a flash noob), so thats why i am asking. it's sortof like a persistent connection or something.

the flash file loads, and it pulls some vars thru php from somefile.php
var1=val1
var2=val2
var3=val3
30 seconds later, it needs to reload var1-3 without downloading the whole swf again.

this would basically be like js reloading the page. is there any way to do that in flash?

i guess this could be analgous to like a flash based chat client... any ideas?

Constant Updates In Flash Site
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to write an actionscript that will access another sites information (interest rates are updated on sites every couple of minutes) and have it presented in my site. Some sort of dynamic text, I'm assuming. Is this possible?

Incorporating Outside Text Into Flash For Updates.
Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a way that information within Flash could be easily updated.

For example. The Dates that a Band has gigs each week, etc.


Is it possible to write something that would allow Flash to draw from a text file for information, and insert it into a specific page in the .SWF with specific font/formating information?

It seems like it would be possible, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.


Thanks as always,

Flash Scrollbar Updates By Client
Hey all,

As I'm running into more and more these days I have a client who wants to be able to update certain aspect of their site on their own. Currently, I have a client who just wants to be able to change the content of one of the flash scrollbars. Ideally he would have the ability to bold text as well as incude hyperlinks.

He would love an easy to use web client, but I think if there is a text file he could update that would work as well.

I've never attempted anything like this and I'm not even sure what the best route to go would be. XML? Any ideas/suggestions/links to tutorials is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Flash Banner With XML Feed That Updates?
Im running flash CS3 im wondering if its a good idea to make a banner for a website promoting my photography... but have it be a flash banner with an xml feed so i can just update the banner with new pictures without having to touch the flash banner so i can deploy the banner to other websites but control the back end easily without recompiling the flash file?

or just keep it a simple animated GIF and just changed the source file?

which is easier.. plus do flash banners has problems displaying vs an animated gif?

i know this is a n00b question so please forgive my ignorance

thanks

RdbmsResolver With Updates Ordered By The Time
Hello,

Is it possible to get updateXML from rdbmsResolver with updates ordered by
the time they occured?
For example, if i insert new record into dataset, delete some other record,
then update and then insert new
one,
i would like to get updateXML, that looks like:
<update_packet ...>
<insert>...</insert>
<delete>...</delete>
<update>...</update>
<insert>...</insert>
</update_packet>

because now i get XML grouped by update operations (first do all inserts,
then updates and finally deletes):
<update_packet ...>
<insert>...</insert>
<insert>...</insert>
<update>...</update>
<delete>...</delete>
</update_packet>

Regards,
Tomas

Flash MX 2004 Patch / Updates
Hi Hope this is in the right area.
At the school where I work we use a package system to deploy software, and after deploying Flash MX 2004, we have found that it keeps asking us for the product key. From what I have been told and read this is a bug with in V7.2 and a patch was released to fix the problem.

Does any one have a copy of the patch or know where I could locate one to correct this problem, as I have 200+ computers that will need the key.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.

Thanks
Rob

Organising For Regular Site Updates
How do you experienced guys organise your .fla and .swf files for continuous development?

I have a totally Flash site consisting of over 30 .fla files for which the client is regularly requesting changes. I decided to have a live site and a development site. Whenever a change is going to be significant I save a copy of the .fla before making the changes and then overwrite the .swf on the development site. When everyone's happy I copy the affected .swfs to the live site. This hasn't proved to be a very good arrangement. Half the time the changes turn out to be greater than expected and I haven't saved a copy of the original .fla. Recently, a bug in the combobox component meant that I had a working live site and a broken development site and I couldn't compare the .fla that produced the working .swf with the one that produced the broken one. That cost me many hours, the purchase of a decompiler, and was only solved by narrowing it down sufficiently to be able to ask a specific question in this forum.

Is my approach basically ok, but needs much stricter control with version numbers and notes etc or is there a better way? I work on my own so there're no team members to consider.

Problem Viewing Updates Web Pages
Hi, I didn't know quite where to post this, I also couldn't find an answer to what is happening to me. When I upload updated .swf and html files to my server and then view the webpage the pages still show the old files. This is happening to me on a mac in both Safari and IE. I've tried emptying the caches of both browsers but it still doesn't work. But then like two days later it will display correctly. I've had people using pcs look at the updated pages and they display correctly for them right away. The weird thing is if I type the url of the swf or html files they would display the correct file, but if I get to the pages through a link from another page it shows the old files. Anyone have any clue? Thank you.
