Updating a Flash site once it's live

Is there a way once a flash site is live, that my client can change the text or even the images? Even if it's by uploading to the server? If perhaps they were all predetermined in size ect.? Similar to how HTML calls images from a folder located on the server. I'm guessing something to do with PHP? Touching upon this briefly so understand flash uses PHP to communcate outside of the swf file to complete certain tasks.
Any suggestions would be greatly welcome!
Cheers - Oliver

you can use xml to store data used by flash. the could include text used in various dynamic textfields and paths/names to images used by flash.

How to update flash sites without flash installed

Hi,
aside from using ICE, is there a way for someone to update a flash site with pictures and text who doesn't have flsah installed on their computer? i.e., how can you add as well as replace additional text and image files without doing it in flash and publishing a swf file everytime?
Kind regards,
Steve

It depends on to what extent you mean to add new content. You can add content dynamically, but the groundwork needs to be in place in the swf for the data that defines the content to be processed as well as for placement of the content.
XML is one commonly used way of defining content. All a person needs is an ascii text editor file to change the content of an XML file, and the ability to upload that file to a server (or an interface could also be created for them to create that document online, but that's another system in itself).

Files needed to make Flash site live

My Flash site is now complete. At this point what are my next
steps in making my Flash site live (i.e., uploading to a server).
What are the necessary files that I need and do I need to use
Dreamweaver, and if so what is the process to make my site live in
that manner? Please help!

you can use Flash to publish your site.. File---Publish
Settings, make sure the .swf and .html boxes are checked, and you
can rename your HTML file, i like to use index since that is what
browsers look for first, then hit Publish... you can then open up
the newly created HTML file (found in the same folder as your FLA)
in a text editor, or dreamweaver, and edit the Title, and whatever
else you want, save, then upload the HTML and SWF file to your
server/hosting client..

Why does an internet video site tell me I need to update my flash player when it is already updated?

Hello.
Have been watching some videos on some popular streaming websites like MegaVideo and I am getting a message saying this:
"You need a newer Flash player version to use this player. Please click here and update your Flash player to the latest version or open the following link manually:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/"
However I am updated my flash players to the lastest version. I even went to the about page to see that it actually updated. I even can see the spinning F.
I have tried everything else I can think of. Please help.
Browser: Firefox 9.01 (NOTE: I think my Flash Player was working before I updated to Firefox 9)
Computer: 64-Bbit
Anything either info I need to let you guys know?
EDIT: Even tried it on IE9 and still get the same message.

Opps. Sorry about that. Windows 7 64-Bit. And its only any on site that has Megavideo streamed, everywhere else works fine like youtube and such. When I get home from work I will see about taking a screenshot of the video and message. Was going to do that but forgot.
Thanks for the reply.

How do I get the Flash site to work on the server

Hi,
I'm a beginner working with Studio 8. I have the Flash site
working as desired from my desktop, but I have issues once loaded
to the server. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right
direction.
Firstly, I would like the site to work within a non-sizeable
browser window. I am not sure how to do this.
Secondly, when I try to visit the uploaded site, it appears
not to load properly. I see an isolated movie clip loaded on the
screen, but my pre-loader never displays, and there is no animation
at all.
I am not sure where to start looking, but if you do, please
share - grateful, I will be.
-Brian

ok - here is an update.
For reasons unknow to me, the Flash site works on my pc now
that I re-published the html. Unfortunately, everyone else that I
ask to visit have to refresh their browser before they see it
animate and work.
*sigh*

Safari will not display flash sites

safari will not display flash sites? Instead it will show a small box that says "flash" and once you click on it, it then displays the flash site!!
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
I am running .....
Vendor: Oracle Corporation
Version: Java SE 7 Update 25
and
Flash Player: 11.8.800.94

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Firefox consistently crashes when loading Flash sites

For a couple of reasons I decided to go ahead and install OSS a few days ago. On the first day, the install went smoothly and everything was working just as it should (I used the oss-linux-free PKGBUILD in AUR). Yesterday and today, however, I've started to get a reoccurring problem that is, to put it lightly, driving me nuts.
Firefox (or Epiphany, though I prefer the former) consistently crashes when opening up any site that uses Flash or Java. With the way the internet is going, this is a large chunk of websites—not being able to visit YouTube or the website for Enemy Territory: Quake wars, for instance, is driving me nuts.
Now, when I say "consistently" I don't mean each and every time. I've been able to get these sites to load a number of times, but in the last two days Firefox has crashed in probably 2/3-3/4 of the time when loading any site that has a Flash element. I've made sure that I have not wrongly assumed this has to do with my newly installed OSS by uninstalling, reinstalling the kernel and all ALSA packages, rebooting, and then surfing the web for a while to see if anything went wrong. It didn't.
So my question is this: why is Firefox crashing so often in the two days since I've installed OSS? What can be done to rectify this?
After some experimenting, it seems the problem is worst under the following conditions:
- Having several tabs open, though not necessarily several tabs with Flash
- Listening to music and THEN navigating to YouTube or something.
However, it's not specific to these circumstances. In fact, just before I decided to make this post I opened Firefox, went to a site with Flash on it (one tab), and it immediately shut down. I tried this three or four additional times and was met with the exact same results.
Other info
Firefox: Pre-compiled Mozilla i686 build, v. 2.0.0.11
OSS: OSS (GPL version) 4.0, build 1012
Operating System: Arch Linux 2.6.23-ARCH
I've also posted this here.

I have the same problem. I've never been able to identify when it started. Once firefox crashes, mpd, if it was playing, becomes unresponsive. The only way to get a flash site working again is to reboot my computer.
I uninstalled flash: I'm not going to put up with that kind of behaviour. Now I watch youtube videos on other people's computers --you know how they say "You've GOT to see this movie!". And if I really need to see that one specific video, there's youtube-dl.
Unfortunately gnash doesn't work on youtube for me.

Firefox 37 keeps crashing, Plugin-hang...aplication error message, & won't let me update Adobe Flash player

Ever since I updated to Firefox 37 my Firefox has been crashing. It started only doing it periodically, then it got so that if I scrolled down a page it would close. Then it got to the point where as soon as I opened Firefox it would immediately crash every time. I ran antivirus and Super AntiSpyware and rebooted, but it only let me into Firefox, nothing would load up. They only way I am able to be on right now is through my computer's "safe mode".
I have tried repeatedly to update Adobe Shockwave Flash Player, but when I click "run" the box disappears and nothing happens from there. It just won't update.
I am on a Windows XP computer which, as we know, is no longer supported by Microsoft, but am I really this SOL?
All scans say I am clean, BTW.
I am afraid to reset Firefox because if I can't update the flash player now, who can promise me I will be able to get anything back if I reset Firefox?
I am moments away from getting my hammer and having a meeting with my computer in the backyard, if you know what I mean. Please help.

Thank you so much for responding. I appreciate your help very much. There are TONS of these reports without "BP" in front of them. Most all reports are without a "BP" in front of them. They take forever to load from Archives and once I do get one loaded I can't locate a "submit" tab anywhere.

OS 10.6.5 updater and flash player

knowing that 10.6.5 updater brings flash player up to the latest available, I uninstalled the version of flash player I had installed (knowing Adobe recommends that you uninstall the old one before installing a newer version). So, I uninstalled it using hte provided adobe flash player uninstaller. I then ran the 10.6.5 updater and was surprised to find that it did not install flash player.
Can I assume that, in this the case, the 10.6.5 updater will not install (or update) flash player if it does not find it already there?

I am confusted, the notes in the 10.6.5 says it updates your flash player to the latest one...

After Updating to Flash Player 9 Links stopped working

After I updated my flash plugin to 9 some of my flash links
stopped working. Our site uses CMS to upload the flash files. I
built them using actionscript 2. It's not all of the Swf that were
affected just some of them, but they were all built the same. On
release, get URL script. I tried it on a mac and a pc and neither
worked in firefox, safari, IE, or opera. I did a uninstall and
installed flash player 8, and everything works again. Its pretty
random anybody have any ideas?
Heres the page that does'nt work, but just the pant and
jacket links, not the ones in the header at the top.
http://www.sessions.com/snow.php?sid=3&gtype=M

It's just a regular link.
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.sessions.com/thumbs.php?psid=204&sid=2&gtype=W",
"_self");
I didn' t build the site could it be something in the
php?

Firefox 8 hangs after posting updates to wordpress site

After upgrading to Firefox 8 (then 8.0.1) I can browse the internet fine, but when I edit a post on my wordpress blog, and click update, it hangs and spins. When I check the site on my phone I see the site took the update but I can't access it anymore through the computer. Only after rebooting can I access the site once more. I'm running Windows 7 on a PC

Your Firewall does not recognize the new version of Firefox and is blocking it from connecting. Clear all instances of Firefox from your Firewall programs list. Let your Firewall re-detect the new version of Firefox and give Firefox the necessary permissions in your Firewall. See:

Embed vimeo videos in flash site

hello i have bought a flash site template.
I have been updating the site by way of .xml in dreamweaver.
is there a way i can embed vimeo videos through the .xml file?
thanks,
Ryan

Hi
thanks for your reply. I am not sure really how should I
classify the videos I am taking about but let me try to explain...
You might have seen NIKE websites about football and
merchandise etc. On those website you will find a footballer
playing with foot ball or if you have seen a site of an energy
drink where there are few dancers, you need to answer few questions
to get to the dance movie of a dancer.
What I want to do is that I want to design a 3D environment
for my flash website where I want to show some people working in
office in a section of the site. For that I will make a video with
my digital camera and will use it in the site. Similarly I want to
show my own videos merged with the website design. So it sounds
like I am acting within the wesite design environment.
I hope I am clear enough now..

Largest recommended size for flash site

Hello there,
So, after just being dumped on from a great height by our development company I need to create an entire site in flash with login and dynamic addition of content etc etc..
Can anyone tell me what would be the recommended maximum size (pixel wise) for a flash site... what I have here is 1600px sq ?! Kinda large
It's mostly database driven so shouldn't lag too much from a point of view of file size, I'm just concerned because of the short deadline and I find this kind of large size wise to do 100% in flash..
I welcome your points of view !!
Many Thanks
Martin

***MOVED TO NEW THREAD***
Hi kglad !
I know this subject is closed, but I'm wondering if you could help me a little.. If you would like me to repost I will move this to a new subject !
The swf is indeed centred but only once the window is past a certain size...
I would like, if the viewer has by example a window 1280px wide, that the swf is centred within the window with the 'bleed' area either side...
Would I need to create the background in HTML to do this ??
Also I will be using server side interaction via php within the swf. Can I simply change the suffix on my .html to .php or will this not be sufficient ?
Once again many thanks for your help
Martin
