FLASH CMS websites - secured pages

Hi,
I’m looking for a way to build FLASH websites, which the user will be able to edit and control its content himself. You know, a CMS website, but then totally build in FLASH. I already started Googling on this a bit and came across these 2 things
-          www.flashcontentmanager.com
-          www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/fcmspro/
especially that last one looks interesting, but it does cost a 300 dollars for 1 website, which maybe isn’t that expensive, given it’s apparent completeness and easy to use interface, but I still want to explore other potential possibilities.
What is needed on the website, is the possibility to add text, pictures , videos and extra pages by the user himself. Also, and maybe this is the most important / difficult, there has to be the possibility to make secured pages where the client can view his pictures without downloading them à the man that’s needs this website is a photographer that wants to offer his albums to the respective client for which he made the pictures, online. 1 client should be able to watch his pictures on 1 secured page of the site, another client should be able to watch his pics on another secured page of the site, without being able to download them... I hope you know what I mean, I’m sure you know what I mean.
I believe this is possible with FCMSPRO on the flashloaded website (between the keyfeatures list on the website I see: ‘Allows for multiple users with different file upload permissions’ – so I assume that the man will be able to provide costumers a password with which they can watch their pics online, without down- or uploading something themselves?)
Is there someone that can help me on this? Is there anyone that has had some experience with FCMSPRO, Flashcontentmanager or other CMS systems already? I’m curious if I’m going to get out of this. If it will be worth deepening myself in this, or if it will be best to tell the photographer to find someone else for this job.
Thanks

The method i showed above does have a front end and a back end. The code i posted above would be part of the image module in the back end for deleting images.
1. You don't put images and files in the database, you create an uploader that uploads the files (pictures, whatever) onto the server and then writes an entry into the database telling it where the picture is stored, what the name of the file is, what type it is, whatever you need. Then when your website connects to the database and downloads the info and stuffs it into arrays, it iterates through the photo array and downloads the photos as needed using the URL you stored.
2. Loading into the database is covered with the above tutorial but i'll post my database retrieval code anyway.
This connects to a database and stuffs each column of a database into an Array. Then if i wanted to actually download the photos i mentioned by the urls just retrieved i'd use:
3. Some people put them in seperate swfs at password protected URLs because its more secure but you don't necessarily have to.
flash CMS isn't well covered, i spent a long time looking for tutorials and i definitely didnt find any that worked well. If you're still working through the basics like AS3 tweens, loaders, and loops, then you're going to want to figure those out first. Those are supported well online, though.
Finally, here's a good example of some flash CMS: http://group94.com/#/flash94/
Good luck.
EDIT: Sorry for retracting my code, the client i did it for wasn't happy.

  • Creating Flash/Html Website Front Page

    HI, i hope someone can help clear up my confusion.
    Im creating a website in flash at the moment. I want the
    first page of the site to be am HTML page where people without
    flash can view the page (download flash if they havent got it) then
    enter the site. Is this initial HTML page which will link to the
    main flash site created within flash somehow or is it created in a
    programme such as dreamweaver then links to the flash movie?
    Thanks so much for any help (im new to flash so a bit unsure
    of the complete process off making the site accessable for people
    withouth flash and publishing to the web)
    Adam

    if ur using front page it easy...you don't link to individual
    flash files but to html pages with flash embedded in them. you
    create your flash website...and make sure you publish it by
    selecting HTML and Flash in the publish settings..you embed the swf
    file into a html page by opening the published html in notepad
    copying the html and pasting it into front page. this html allows
    the flash site to be seen. within that html there is a line of code
    for an alternate page which will lead people without flash to a
    different page..you can change this if u wish to one that you have
    created allowing people to download flash player.

  • Flash Player 10 and secure pages

    Is anybody having problems viewing Flash files in Flash Player 10 over secure connections? I signed up for a website, and their login is secure, which is fine with me. Thing is, once I get into their members area, all of the Flash just stops working and some even flat out disappears. I complained at them about it, but they told me that it is my browser and not their website (how typical.) I've tried it in IE 8, FF2/FF3 on PC, and FF2, Safari on Mac, but the result is still the same. I think they have the problem because I can reproduce it on all of the computers at my house, but they say it is me. So, who is right? Me or them?

    We have the problem in all browsers on all platforms. I should note, however, that we have the problem with Flash Video and not any other Flash objects.
    We're hosted on a Windows 2003 server, and to the best of my ability to look at the IIS configurations we don't have any content expirations set at all. I've looked at the headers sent to the client and none of them relate to expiration of content. For now, we've just decided that if our client wants secure pages, they don't get Flash videos and that is all there is to it. Of course, this will last about as long as them not signing the contract, so we're still looking. There's got to be a solution to this somewhere, but nobody seems willing to post it.

  • Urgent: Flash CMS with Actionscript 3.0/PHP/MySQL

    Hello everybody. I'm new to this community and I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
    Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt? Are there any good detailed tutorials out there that I could read/watch?
    Any help would be so much appreciated

  • How can I pubish SWF interactive magazine to flash based website? It's not working!

    I hope someone can help me launch my first interactive magazine (SWF) to our website with ID 5. Okay, my hard copy mag came out great so then I started on the interactive edition. Everything was going swell with adding 3 short videos ( FLV  ) and creating 3 slide shows. When I previewed it by exporting to SWF I could preview it in my browser fine. Page curls, fade in words (although the “hide until animated” options only works in two out of about 7 instances. (same settings) file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Documents/NEW%20PUBLICATION%20QUARTERLY%20JOURNAL%202011%20se pt%202/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIVE%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.ht ml
    I then followed instructions from another Adobe exercise, exported it to Flash, went to Publish Settings, but of course when I pressed “publish” I didn’t get the same result as the teacher…I got an error message about text. I searched a forum with the same message I got and saw that making sure my text setting was set for Classic, solved someone else’s problem. So I did and was able to “publish”. But now, when I open either the SWF or HTML file, it’ just rapidly repeating the 12 pages in my file in a loop!
    file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Desktop/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIV E%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.html
    I have spent most of the summer self teaching myself InDesign CS5 (not easy!) and am excited to be able to put out an interactive SWF file that can be opened in a Flash player through our Flash based website. I feel like I’m just inches away for launch but now I’m getting frustrated. Isn’t this going to be possible?
    Also, when I publish it in Flash, it creates a SWF file AND an HTML file. But on our website, I have only one option to make a link to a document OR an outside link to open a file. How does that work?
    Many thanks for whoever can help me out here. This was supposed to be a spring issue. Had to change it to summer and now I guess it’s a fall launch!

    Thank you for your quick reply, Rob. Well, i can't open the link you gave me to mysite (got a 404 error), could you resend it?
    Originally, I exported the file to SWF (player) and just tried to link that file from our flash based website. It opens fine, page curls fine, slide shows fine, but when you click on the photos with videos, page 5 (father and baby) and two others, the image disappears and only a white comes up to fill that area.
    http://scpres.org/#/media-sermons-online/our-publications. Could you go to this link on our website to see what I mean? Go to the NEWSBREAK TRANSFORMS and click on the Life, Stories of Transformation.
    Rob, here is where i have very limited knowledge: As I said we use a flash based (read very user friendly) web hosting company. When I am in the back end to upload the swf file, I have only one option  - "attach a video, attach a document, attach a link" so how would I upload a "folder" with more than one item to the server?
    I thought it would be considered a video since the SWF file says SWF movie, but when I when i try to upload as a video, it doesn't come up as importable. (am i sounding really stupid?) Maybe I should admit that yes, I'm an ID5 newbie AND yes,  I'm no spring chicken but I have been working in CS2,3,4 for several years and now 5 and am quite proficient in the create aspect of Adobe products. It's just now the technical part about how to actually get my  in work published to the site.There isn't anyone else in my company able to help me so I have to reach out to this forum!
    I love ID and this is just my first effort but I'm looking forward to creating many more interactive magazines for my company.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Flash player opening in new window even for flash in websites

    Ok, so ive searched the net and not found a single person with my problem, if its something easy ive missed im sorry. Flash player opens in a new window for every bit of flash. Like if I go to hulu and start to watch a movie it will not load in browser but open a new window on the desktop and begin playing. If I go to a website that has a flash based set up like the air forces website just the backround will load and the flash thats supposed to be on the page tries to load in a new window like hulu but since its not a movie it doesnt work. It does this for everything flash, meaning if I go to a flash heavy website I see only the html parts and end up with tons of blank flash windows in my task bar I cant bring up. Im running firefox but it does it for ie too so I dont think its a browser issue.

    That resolved the issue. Thank you so much.

  • Anyway to use Video Lightbox Output in a Flash-based website?

    I use Video lightbox on my current site (For an example here is my page now - http://www.ruesterprod.com/video )
    I am redesigning my website in Flash and I would like to make a Flash Gallery using the Video Lightbox elements (Thumbnail, jQuery loader, etc.)
    How could I accomplish this?
    Thanks All,
    Aza

    You can use the entire Video lightbox as is by stacking it in a separte <div> container over the top of the other Flash content on the page.
    The stacking process is a common practice in HTML and is called z-indexing.
    Leave a blank spot in your .fla in exactly the spot you want the video gallery. Place your .swf on the Web page as you normally would. Now there will be a blank spot where the video gallery will go.
    Then using z-indexing and CSS positioning, place the video gallery in it's own <div> container stacked over the top of the Flash content. This will make it look like the video gallery is a part of the Flash background.
    Here is a working example... the Vimeo player is layered over the Flash background:

    Create your pause button and name it "PauseButton".
    Create your play button and place it in the exact same place as your pause button. Make sure its visibility is set to off. Name it "PlayButton".
    In PauseButton's actions, select "click", and enter:
    sym.stop();
    sym.$("PlayButton").show();
    sym.$("PauseButton").hide();
    In PlayButton's actions, select "click" and enter:
    sym.play();
    sym.$("PlayButton").hide();
    sym.$("PauseButton").show();
    That should do it, but I'm not a programmer so don't take my word for it

  • Prevent show 'select download folder' dialog when click export csv button in a flash-based website

    I want to download csv file from a flash-based website. When i click the button with export icon, Firefox always pop up dialog box with title 'select download folder for ...'. I have set up default download folder and uncheck 'always ask me where to save files'. If i download from other websites (not a flash one) then the download automatically started without pop up folder selection dialog. I want to prevent firefox from showing download folder selection dialog because i need to use it for web automation. by the way, i use ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 21.0. I have used flashgot extension but still no luck. Any suggestion about this?

    I already have followed the instruction above, but still no luck. The dialog still appear. I think this is not a regular download link since it's made with flash. It's look like an export button which will force browser to pop up 'select folder location' dialog and when i click save then there is no download progress like usual, the file just saved automatically. I think the file itself is rendered when the flash website loaded, and then embeded into the web page. When i download, it didn't send any request, it just get the embeded file.

  • How to put a Flash movie on IWeb pages

    I am trying to find out how I can put flash movies on a website designed in IWeb. The .mov files are large and therefore load very slowly (and are also able to be downloaded by anyone with QT Pro I think).
    Does anyone know how to put flash videos (and what format they are supposed to be in - that SWV or FLV) on IWeb? I think I have to put a flash player on the page (or site, whatever) as well.
    Apple Care can't help me - and when I went for a One-on-One at the Apple Store it was a complete waste of time (I have to drive an hour just to get there).
    I have found a few programs on the internet that I can buy to convert my videos to Flash (without having to spend a fortune on Adobe Flash).
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • Flash Banner On Web Page Problems

    Hey everyone.
    I'm not particularly skilled in Flash, but I usually know enough to get around (animate buttons and such).  What I'm having a problem with is integrating a .swf banner I created into a specific place in a website main page.
    The space that I want it to play in is 931 x 258 near the top of the screen.  I want it to continuously loop, but ONLY play in that section on the main page.  When I import the .swf, however, it's huge and does not conform to the space at all (even though the stage for the .swf was 931 x 238 so this wouldn't happen... go figure).  Not only that, but you know how if you maximize the .swf you can see all your motion-tweened images and such on the edges and it looks terrible?  Yeah, that happens too.
    I'm at a complete loss.  I tried looking at kirupa.com, but I did not understand the tutorial at all.  How do I get the banner to play in a specific area?
    Thank you all in advance!

    You should place your swf in a CSS sized div container on the html page. If the scale width and height is set to 100% and it is not placed in a sized div, then there is nothing to contain the swf from trying to be the scale, or be the size of the page width (or height which ever it attains first).

    It can be done, since youtube does it. But that requires
    heavy-duty programming and I suspect some
    special server components (maybe Flash Server must be
    installed too or something).
    In any case that's not something you can do with Dreamweaver
    or without a thorough knowledge of
    server-side programming.
    An alternative is to create a swf file in Flash that will
    import linked media. You can link
    quicktime videos dynamically and play them in the swf.
    I'm not sure what other video formats are supported. You
    might want to look into the Flash Media
    Player component.
