Flash Interface CGI alternative

I would like to have a flash app on a website where:
A user can input some values
Those values are then sent to a server which has an executable file
The exe is run with the user's settings and then sends some data back to the user
The data is displayed in the flash app.
Is this possible to do in flash?
What is required to achieve this?
Is it doable with CGI or is there a better alternative to this?
I am completely capable of building the client side input/display aspect, but I have no experience with the server interaction.

Would this be something that would be much easier to do in Flex?
That appears to be tailored for server interaction, but is less good for producing the non server parts of the application.

Flash Interface for Data Input - Good Examples?!

Hello,
I’m interested in locating samples of how a Flash graphic interface can be used as a way to more effectively engage users for inputting data collection - in contrast to a less engaging data collection form.
Please let me know any examples you may know and if possible attach links to samples if available.
Thanks!

Hello Kathrin,
Since you say that the user's input is hierarchical in nature, it is nice to have a tree-control for input. But, the choice of using a custom-control-version of the tree is a cause for some concern. I cannot recollect any of the SAP screens where the input can be given through such a tree framework (please do let me know if you have come across one). The problem with such a tree would be in the areas of even-handling. Filling the tree with appropriate data at the right times would be another challenge.
However, there's one alternative that I would like to direct your attention to. You must have observed another kind of tree, when you select an application component from the APPLICATION HIERARCHY, which is just like a list. Also, the Transport Organizer (SE09), Menu Painter (SE41) etc., have this kind of a tree. You can use this if you (or rather your users) are very particular on having a tree display. For more information, you can see the Function Group SEUT, which has the required function modules to accomplish the same. The Function Group is well documented, and you might have to work a little on the function modules themselves.
Please do let me know if this is a suitable option to meet your requirement. All the best,
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

Loading multiple SWFs across many pages in a Flash interface

I have a Flash AS3 interface that lets users go tto different
pages with the usualy back & next buttons. Each page they come
to loads in a page-specific XML file with content, and then
possibly graphic files and/or SWF files.
My question is this: When a user happens to quickly click the
next page button, they will gte each page to start loading its
assets. I believe that this would cause pages that they didn't
soend more that a fraction of a second on to continue loading in
the background. So if they quickly click through 20 pages, all 20
pages' assets are loading. Sounds like I have a bad design on my
hands!
Without designing/developing for it, is this the simple
result of loading in a file to Flash? Should I look into stopping
iles from dpownloading if a user leaves a page before it's fully
downloaded? Is that even possible?
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Flash Interface Unloading Captivate 5.0 works / 5.5 doesn't...why?

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at captivate.veela_as3::rdSwfLoader/rdSwfLoaderEnterFrame()
at captivate.veela_as3::rdEmbeddedSwfPpt/rdSwfLoaderEnterFrame()
Any suggestions welcome - very frustrated by the introduction of this error by Captivate 5.5 - thanks for any help in advance
I've attached some code below - which works perfectly for SWFs created using Captivate 5.0 but an identical recording done with Captivate 5.5 provides the error when unloading.
My Captivate SWF is controlled by an interface SWF (for slide navigation) which is provided inside a menu SWF (which will eventually display several recordings to choose from). Basically, the menu SWF loads the interface SWF and displays a menu button which unloads the Captivate SWF and the user returns to the menu.
I do wonder if the problem exists because I have CP5.5 installed as a trial version and there could be a conflict between this and the full install of CP5.0. Incidentally, I did find that if I removed the FMR (Full motion recording) slides the error does disappear on the simulation recordings. But this doesn't help me with PPT to Captivate recordings where there is no FMR. Plus I actually want to keep the FMR if possible anyway . Hope this makes sense.

Think of it this way. Think of the login.oscar.aol.com server as major town and port 5190 as the major highway to get to that town. Of course there are other ways to get to that town via other roads that are open (i.e. other ports that are open).
So if there's a big traffic jam on port 5190, why not choose another road/port (assuming the road/port is open or accepting traffic), such as 443? Consider it the back road that few people know about, in a sense, and maybe that would be why you're seeing better results with this port as opposed to the default port, 5190.
That may or may not be the reason, but that's why a different port works sometimes better than the default port.

Sliding Flash Interface - Using Links from an XML file Problem

Hi All,
Working on a new site for the company i've recently started
working for... fairly new to flash but wanted to try this sliding
interface for the graphic banner at the top of the page...
have a look here at an early version of the site - sliding
graphic interface at the top with coloured rollover buttons (a lot
of work still to do! feel free to post constructive criticism)
(am I allowed to post links??)
here is the unfinished version with no links in the flash bit
http://www.westfieldhealth.com/website/index.asp
The Problem:
I am pulling in a 'heading' 'text' and 'image' into the
sliding graphic interface from the following xml file... (there are
4 different xml files for 4 different slides)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<content>
<dialogue>
<heading>Interested in selling our health
plans?</heading>
<text>Click here to learn more...</text>
<img>home_window/intSmall.jpg</img>
</dialogue>
</content>
I want to add a link to the xml that would be specific to
each instance of the window...
eg
<link>contact-us/index.asp</link>
But my limited knowledge of flash means I have no idea how to
pull the link through from the xml file to use in the flash...
Perhaps I need link text to pull as well
eg
<link-text>click here to contact us</link-text>
Here is the function that pulls in the img, heading and txt
public function onComplete(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = event.target as URLLoader;
if (loader != null) {
externalXML = new XML(loader.data);
mover_mc.heading_txt.htmlText =
externalXML.dialogue[0].heading;
mover_mc.myText_txt.htmlText = externalXML.dialogue[0].text;
var url:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(externalXML.dialogue[0].img);
myLoader.load(url);
} else {
trace("loader is not a URLLoader!");
Can anyone help me on how to pull in the link from the xml
and use it to navigate to a different page on the site
Thanks very much
Hans
link to
my unfinished flash file...

What is the exact error you get (what db version also), could you post a simplified version of the SQL which fails also? I have splitter based maps that successfully read from file via the XMLType(bfilename....) style code and insert into multiple targets, I did this on 11g though.

anyone know how I can get it to drop all the extraneous html

Also I can't figure out how to do a flash pulldown list as a

and say to use Smartclips from the common librarirs tab - but there
are no "smartclips" in my Flash CS3. I see other things in
components (menu, list) - but cannot figure out how to add my items
to the list.

is there some way I could use an "expression" to subtract the
unwanted text strings from the info being passed by the variables?
If so, does anyone have an example of the context I would used to
subtract 2 strings from that info...
this string of html tags appears before the passed input text

and this appears affter it...

it's always the same.

Merging live footage with a flash interface

Hi
I need to take a live webcam stream from a local computer and feed that into a flash app as a background of an interface I build in flash. eg: the webcam stream is of a room with various static objects in it, I want to create buttons over those objects that play a audio clip when they are clicked. The video and interface needs to be full screen which is why I think it needs to be output as a self contained app (or does it?). Is this possible in Flash or is there another option I can look at.
Thanks

Is this all happening on the same system? As long as the SWF containing the interface is located on the same system as the webcam, you can just follow the simple webcam sample in the Camera class to read the webcam:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Camera.html #includeExamplesSummary
I've done that several times with kiosks. I put cameras on the opposite side of the screen so you can (lacking parralax) 'see through' the screen by displaying what's behind the screen, on the screen, from a webcam.
If you want to read a webcam from an alternate network, that's entirely different. More software will be needed (flash media server, openbroadcaster, xsplit, etc) and proper configuration of a firewall and server are necessary along with policy files.

Flash interface redraw issues, do i need a better video card?

So this is a 2 part question.
Just got a brand new computer built for Flash work and
noticed that im having interface display refresh issues in Flash
CS3. This particularly will happen when i slide the timeline back
and forth a number of times. Anyone run into this?
The second part of this question is since its a new PC I can
swap the video card. Currently i run a Nvidia Quadro FX 1700 with
512MB, however im thinking that maybe that card is not the best for
Flash since its more of a 3d card.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks :)

So more than a month has passed and no has answered this
question, I know CS3 on Vista isn't technically supported by Adobe
but surely someone has run into this issue?

Installd Ffox 3.6.15. Redo Flash AGAIN? How can I: Tweak 2 fix plugin-container crashes/hangs10X/day,and 2) Avoid need to reinstall Java, Flash,& other media plugins(Flash, Realplayr/Quiktime Alternative, Media Player Classic)? Ffox fan

plugin-container crashes and hangs many times daily all my time eaten up by upgrading too frequently to new Ffox versions, only to find that I must then spend a whole day jumping thru hoops upgrading almost all of my add-ons too.
I now find, to my horror, that the hideous virus-magnet IE 8 is needed if I want to surf at a reasonable speed and not spend all day dealing with Ffox new versions' Known Issues. Only good thing I have seen about ver. 3.6.15 is slightly better launch-times. Since 3.6 cane out, I must spend 10 minutes just waiting for Firefox to load and give me a browser screen. Help! I love you guys, but your core browser developers need to have better comms with the Javaa/flash/Adobe and other must-have add-on people! And PLEASE fix all these "plugin-container" crashes and hangs I get, that lock my machine for 10-15 min at a time. Not everybody has 16 gigs of RAM, you know! I think the "plugin-container" running as a separate process idea might need to be COMPLETELY re-engineered! YOU CAN DO IT! LET'S GET BACK TO LEAN AND MEAN, and not bloat ourselves off our hard-won User Preference / great security pedestal with the kind of feature-creep that IS DEMOLISHING IE's slave-userbase with the hard-won advanced-user preference for Firefox
and our core values. FAST-LEAN-SECURE.
Where have they gone? I LOVE Firefox
and all it stands for! Let's not trip
over our own features here. Already I
see SeaMonkey and leaner, faster
browsers hot on our heels, THIN and
FAST! Firefox doesn't need to integrate
with EVERY thru-the-browser media tool
on the planet! I've been writing code
since 1968, and I can't imagine how a
lesser-experienced user (that code
should be written for) could possibly
have navigated all the side-upgrades
and Known Issues to make Firefox run as
sweetly as it used to! He'd just give
up when he finds he has to separately
find and install the EXACT 3rd-party
version that Firefox needs for its
newest release: things like a new Java
runtime environment, and hunt down and
correctly install ALL the Flaming-Phox-
compatible buggy plugins from half the
browser-media warezmakers on the
PLANET! He'd give up halfway thru trying to navigate to, D/L, and install
what he needs from Oracle Java, Adobe,
Flash, media players and their codecs,
etc etc.... WRITE FOR THE NOOBS! As it
is, I have invested 2 full workdays in
just keeping your last 2 quick releases
happy. And having another release spaced only 3-4 days apart from the
last- well, that just doesn't fly.
Better to release a hotfix or patch that a user can set FFox to automatically D/L and self-install on
schedule. Just look! Now you've got me
talking like that lawbreaking swine
Gates! We want to keep on absorbing
the average-user center and take it ALL
away from him, not go on feature,
plugin, and upgrade-bloating the best
browser EVER!
You're facing choices that can kill
us! PLEASE DONT BLOAT! AND PLEASE ONLY
RELEASE A NEW VER WHEN YOU CAN REALLY
GET RID OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND MAKE
HER FASTER AND LEANER AND BETTER UNDER
THE HOOD! Already the Noobs are getting
mindlessly scared when you talk about
"fixing a Security problem"- really a
minor issue that SHOULD be taken care
of by their antimalware solution- in
the Release Notes splash screen they
get on install of a new ver! Thanks, my
friends, for all your work, and YES I
WILL sit here all day trying to find
the add-ons that need to be selected,
downloaded, and upgraded from 10
different 3rd-party sites who are
fighting our browser, not dancing with
it! DON'T EVEN LOOK Evil! But I have
to confess that at this point, Gates-hate is all that keeps me on
these all-day new-release tasks. Even
my best techs are starting to advise me
to install SeaMonkey or another of the
newer, thinner browsers... or just stop
upgrading Firefox and roll it back to
when it was sharp, fast, and lean! Look
at all the users wanting to go back to
3.6.13 or earlier and looking for archives of old versions. THANKS AND
GOOD LUCK! I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP ON
MY BELOVED FIREFOX!
-The CRASHMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW

Thanks! I've already used the built-in plugin checker but it gives very vague answers like (research this" and update this" all of which I did, starting with Java and Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave, 100% reinstall of Java newest ver. TWICE- but FFox keeps reporting that I only have the FORMER version installed, although when I go to Java console or Check the Flash executable at the MFR's site, there is NO doubt that the updates were successful!
But the browser just seems to refuse to acknowledge the update!
And I don't HAVE 6 hrs/day at the 'puter just to play with add-ons
and plugups. So I'm going down the line now, ripping out extension
programs and replacing/reinstalling/updating the plugins one by
one- even went to M$ to get advice on THEIR For-Firefox ActiveX
stuff. No dice so far. And yeah, The plugin-container WAS made so
that a plugin, add-on or I guess extension app failure wouldn't take
the whole FF browser down with it if the 3rd-party ware crashed. It's supposed to shake it off and go on, kinda like how XP sometimes
restarts Explorer (not the IE browser) so I don't have to reboot the
whole sys.
That was the foundation of my remark about stepping back and
re-engineering the whole "Plugin-container" idea, because it seems
to do more harm than good. Maybe that's why the Firefox core
engine won't recognize my upgrades- for example I TWICE installed the Flash update to 10.2.xx (latest ) and the Flash Mfr's
site verifies my upgrade as a successful 10.2, but Firefox plugins
check say I have a 10.1, the old one. What gives here? The sneaky
PLUGIN CONTAINER, METHINKS!
Now I'm disabling things on the Extensions Apps list, thinking
that might help, like disabling my video downloader and other
download helpers/managers... and I notice that there is a LOT of
Java stuff in there too as well as in the blue Lego Plugins List... and
in the past the FFox always told me if a new version of Ffox was
incompatible with any older 3rd-party app Extensions and notified
me QUICKLY if something I had in there was Outdated. I'm big on
using the neat-o "find updates" button at the bottom if that happens, and usually get a newer version right away. The prob
really lies in the Blue Lego Plugins and their new Container, I
believe.
So Ill still keep Plugin-innin' away! Will post here what success I have! (OR maybe M$ is deliberately sabotaging our ActiveX-cripple
mess as it loads!) Thanks for the suggestions a37271!

[CS3] Dual monitor : disable Flash interface windows effects (shadows & transparency)

Sorry to "up" this question this way, but I've been on
holidays and this
problem is still a real pain for me !
I'm trying to work both with Flash and Director on a dual
monitor.
Director is quite tricky because you have to extend the
"background"
window so you can put your menus on the second screen, but it
works very
well afterwards.
While Flash should be a dream to use because you can freely
put windows
anywhere, every window on the second screen is awfully slow
(takes
seconds to move them).
I'm sure it would be a lot better if I could, at least,
disable those
effects.
Before you ask, I use an old S3Virge PCI card for my second
monitor...
Sorry, can't find any better PCI card...yet.
Thanks in advance.
PJ

Well, I bought a nice Matrox Mystique 220 in a car boot sale
and it's
much better, as long as I don't move windows (takes 3 seconds
to refresh !)
The card's got nice and stable resolutions, by the way !
I still would like to disable transparency, though...

Widget like in Adobe Flash interface

I am developping plugin for NetBeans.
I need widget pretty close to Flash timeline.
Please, see screenshot: [http://foto.mail.ru/mail/ice_holod/803/s-810.jpg|http://foto.mail.ru/mail/ice_holod/803/s-810.jpg]
I would use tasks instead of graphic layers and I will set some control points on these tasks.
So, please, tell me is it possible to make such complicated and unusual widget?
And if it is, please, tell me where can I read some info or see/get some tutorials?
I know Swing pretty well, but I even can't emagine how can I make it.
My idea is that "+Layers+" can be just Labels. Each label would have connection with Java object which keeps preferences and data of "Layer".
These Objects also provide data for slider.
Slider it is a some kind of JSlider, but it should be changed alot and customized.
But I don't have any knowledge and experience how to do that.
Thank you for your attention and please help.

[http://www.flexgantt.com/products/flexgantt/demo/demo.html|http://www.flexgantt.com/products/flexgantt/demo/demo.html]
Cool thing!
Seems like I understood how it is possible to simplify my task.
Layers (Tasks) can be presented as Labels or some kind of that.
I would have just one JSlider on the top.
JTable would be a cell structure where I can place my control points.

Question about AIR/Flash interfacing

Hey guys,
I have a flash app (created as an ActionScript 3.0 file in CS5) and it loads a .swf file created as an AIR file. The AIR file uses the File class, and it seems like Flash is giving me an error when it gets to that code....is that because the parent .swf file, the one I created as an ActionScript 3 file, needs to also be AIR if any of it's children movieclips use AIR classes like File?
Thanks guys.
-Ricky

Environment specific AS libraries are not compiled into swfs - they are provided at runtime by the environment. So, if you load swf compiled for AIR runtime environment into swf that is compiled for non-AIR environment - AIR libraries will not be available.

Update to iOS8.1 on iPhone 6, getting a flashing red screen alternating with Apple screen. Can't power off or do anything else.

While updating to iOS, it appeared that the download was progressing so I laid my phone down. Checked about a half hour later and I now have a continuously flashing red screen that alternates with the Apple screen. I can't power the device off nor use the home button. iTunes doesn't recognize the phone so can't sync or reload.

Hello rwax,
The troulbeshooting steps detailed below can help get your iPhone to successfully power on.
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
