Dynamic update of swf file

Hi,
In an excel sheet I've connected to an SQL server table through 'Import Data' functionality. This excel has been used to create a dashboard in Xcelsius. Whenever the backend data is changed, the excel and the dashboard in Xcelsius is getting updated.
Is there any way to dynamically update the dashboard in the generated swf file also whenever the backend data is changed?
Thanks and Regards,
Shyam.

Shyam,
Have a Refresh component in your dashboard and set to refresh the connection in the properties...
So when ever you click Refresh button...it will refresh your connection and get the latest data in your dashboard.
Hope this helps...

Dynamic Update of .war files or .ear files

Hello,
I don't see this ability in the current servlet spec. I was wondering if someone has come up with a way to implement the following idea.
I'd like to dynamically update, add, and remove files from a .war file that is running in X servlet engine/application server. An example is adding new HTML files on the fly, or new Style Sheets. The files that I'm trying to add are not class files or any executable files.
If you have any thoughts on how to do this or have done this, please let me know.
Thanks for you help,
d.bretenfeld

It depends on what webserver you're using, and how you configure it.
With Tomcat 4.0, each .war file on startup is extracted to it's own directory and from there any modifications have to be done with the actual files. the .war file is no longer used except as a backup.
Now, with something like JBoss + Tomcat, the .war file is hot deployed anytime a new .war file is copied into the deploy folder. Personally I love this feature, as it forces you to actually "deploy" an application with updates all at once. And actually, you can get around this and modify individual files, but I wouldn't recomend it.
So, as is the answer with so much of Java and J2EE, it all depends on your setup and configuration! =)
I'd be happy to help you out more if you need anything else!

Dynamically updating an HTML file

hello everyone,
I have recently developed a simple web server and now wish to update it so that i can include my own tags. These tags will be recognised by my server applicaion using the java.util.regex .
However when the app stumbles across one of my tags in the web page i want it to replace it with a displayable element. For example if i emmbed the tag <time> in the page i want it replaced with code that places the current time in the displayed page. I understand that i may need to actually update the HTML file, however the File class is only an analyser of files and as far as i can see the HTML class doesn't have a way of ammending / replacing tags or text.
Does anyone know of a way i can go about this? any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Your web server is going to get "HTML" from a file somewhere on your server, transform it according to certain rules, and send the result on to the client who requested it.
I wouldn't use regex for this. I would store XML files on your server and use XSLT to transform them according to your rules, then send the resulting HTML on to the client.

How do you update an .SWF file with Javascript

Hello - I have this Flash map that I've created. It uses
javascript calls from within Flash to swap out hidden DIVS when a
user clicks on a county. When the user clicks on the zip code
region of that map, a javascript triggers the check box.
What I need to do now is to have a way that when a user
unclicks the check box, the zip code region in the map will be
unhighlighted. Essentially, I need to have javascript tell a movie
clip within the .SWF file to goto a certain frame and stop.
I've never done this before, so I'm seeking someone's wisdom
on how to proceed with this.
For a visual on what I'm describing, the file can be viewed
here:
http://pixegen.com/sandbox/map.html

use the flash'es externalinterface class for two way
communication between js and actionscript.

Flash update makes .swf file unclickable in Firefox

I just got a new computer and installed the Flash plugin
9,0,115,0. This now causes part of my website to not function
properly in Firefox. I have confirmed this is the cause because my
old computer was using 9,0,45,0, which I then upgraded to 115,0. It
has caused the same problem.
My site is www.rogerspublishing.ca. I also have a restricted
access subdomain (xyz.rogerspublishing.ca) on that site. Both use
the identical flash files in the left nav to allow the user to
navigate to other pages by clicking. Although the swf
displays fine, in Firefox, when you click, nothing happens
if you are in the xyz subdomain portion of the site.
So within the www, I can navigate using the swf (all the
links within it point to www.). Within the xyz subdomain, the
identical swf (all of which links point to www.) is unclickable.
I am especially concerned when Flash pushes this new release
out to users -- it will render all Firefox users useless on my
secure subdomain site.
Can anyone make any recommendations??
Thanks,
Lauren

It hangs on my system too, so I'd say the problem is in the site or the swf, and definitely not in FF, Safari, or Flashplayer.

Dynamically update swf file in sharepoint using xml data

Hi,
I need some help/enlightenment on how to auto-update the swf file in sharepoint using xml data.
I am encountering an error "Cannot access External Data" and pointing to adobe's Cross-domain policy file extension.
My questions is:
1. Where should the cross-domain file be copied? In the sharepoint webserver's root folder?
Right now, we generate the swf file from xcelsius and manually upload them in the sharepoint. However, we wish to automate the data content of this file.
Thanks for the help.

Loading swf file with dynamic text

For a website I'm creating I'm going to have a main swf file
that loads individual swf files for each page. Each page's swf file
loads in external text files through dynamic text boxes so i can
edit the website easily. To load the swf files into the main swf
file I'm using the loader component. Everything works fine except
thedynamic text boxes of the swf files that are nestled in the main
one do not load properly. Instead, in each text box i get a message
similar to this:
_level0.NewsLoader.contentHolder.News1
NewsLoader is the instance of the loader component, and News1
is a variable called in through a dynamic text field from the html
document entitled News1.html. The individual news swf file loads
the text properly, but when the news swf file is loaded into the
main swf file the text is replaced with the message above.
Any suggestions?

the problem might be due to the changed references if you
load the movie into another one.
is NewsLoader a MovieClip instance inside the main movie or
inside the mc that is loaded into the main movie?
If it resides inside the exteranly loaded movie, you will
either need to use the lockroot attribute or use a relative
reference to the News1 variable.
Since the _level0 always points to the _root timeline (the
one of the outer most movieclip) _level0 used in the external mc is
different once the external movieclip is loaded into another movie.
I suggest only using relative references, makes live much
easier.

ExternalInterface not working when swf file is embed inside a dynamically cloned DIV element.

ExternalInterface not working when swf file is embed inside a dynamically cloned DIV element.
It seems that flash movie is identifed as 'undefined' inside document.
//a statically placed div
var staticdiv=document.getElementById('PropDiv');

   dynDiv.style.top=50;
   dynDiv.style.left=100;
document.body.appendChild(dynDiv);
In above situation communication is not establised when a funtion which is retruning boolean is called from flash using
ExternalInterfcae.call.The return value of this function is getting as false inside flash.But the value is true in javascript.
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
   return window[movieName];
} else {
   return document[movieName];
window["external"] is returning as 'undefined'.
Please give a solution to solve this.

Note that you have different file names for the object (images/banner.swf) and the embed (images/banner1.swf)
You also placed the embed in the middle of a param tag and nested all param tags.
Because you didn't include a MIME type and the object doesn't have a classid for an ActiveX control for IE, I'm not sure what Firefox will be using.<br />
The object doesn't have a data attribute to specify the file.<br />
A separate embed is only needed when you specify a classid in the object.
<pre><nowiki><div class="bannercontainer">
<object width="940" height="445" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/banner.swf" >
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="images/banner.swf" />
</object>
</div></nowiki></pre>

How do I dynamically load a SWF that was compiled from an Fla with a linked external class file

I am dynamically loading external SWFs in a Main Fla in response to clicks on a menu.
The loading code is standard and works fine for all of the SWFs except one. When I try to load it I get the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am certain that the URL to the problem SWF is correct. The SWF itself doesn't load any other SWFs or images.
The problem SWF is linked to an external class file and compiled with it.
i.e. in the properties panel of the main timeline of the problem SWF's Fla I have entered the path to the external class.
1. there is no problem compiling this SWF with the class (it works fine by itself)
2. if I remove the external class from the properties panel and don't use it the resulting SWF imports without a problem into the Main Fla mentioned before
So the problem seems to be the fact that the external class is linked in the properties panel. Is this a path problem?
Would appreciate any suggestions,
Thanks!

despite what you say, that loaded swf most likely is loading something and that's the cause of the error.
you could test that by putting the main swf's embedding html file in the same directory with problematic swf. if the problem is as explained above, you'll have no problem when the main html is in the same directory with the loaded swf.

I meant RandomAccessFile

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Dynamic swf file into dreamweaver cs4

Good evening to all,
Can a basic slide show created in Flash cs4 using as2 to load the images dynamically be inserted into a Dreamweaver cs4 page ?
The swf file shows up but I can't figure out where to put the linking images so the 2 basic "next" and "previous" buttons work ?
Thank as always,
Fred...

When you load the swf file into the html page, that becomes the swf's reference for loading files. So if your structure has a folder containing the html file and another folder for the flash file and another folder for the images, as in...
main_folder...
     - html file
     - flash folder
          - - flash file
     - images folder
          - - image files
then you need to change where the swf file is looking for the images because when it is in the html page, that is essentially the folder it is trying to get the images to load thru.
For instance, if you originally tested using Flash with the swf file targeting the images using...
"../images/imagefile.jpg"
(or something like that... those dots confuse me at times)
and the structure is as I described, then when testing in the html file the targeting would need to be changed to...
"images/imagefile.jpg"
Just think of the swf file as living in the html file's folder as far as targeting any files it needs to load, because once it is loaded into that page, it has basically moved to that new location.

SWF Files do not work in Firefox. My sites work fine in Explore & Safari? Why is this? I have updated all my plugins, reinstalled yet still nothing?

Does that only happen on that website or do you have that problem with all Flash content?

My website containing a swf file does not work now since update of 3.6.4

I have recently set up my own site using flash panorama player (swf file) which has been successfully working for a few months now: annedoncaster.co.uk. I recently did an update on my firefox browser which I am sure has caused an issue with my panoramas showing, they no longer load or show on my website. I have tried all the other browsers and they all load the panorama, which is very odd.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Update of firefox 3.6.4

@'''Anne''':
That is a tough one.
I can only make it work if I disable OOPP for the Flash plugin and close and restart Firefox.
It works if I copy and paste the URL of the Flash in the location bar, but as soon as I use HTML code then it fails.
Apparently the plugin-container process isn't able to play that file.
You can try to file a bug report for it on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ to see if anything comes up.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
