Re: [Flashcoders] navigateToURL or getURL and pop-up blocking

2007-10-25 Thread Tom Shaw
Personally I would get flash to display a box that tells the user to expect a pop up and what to do if they dont get it. You might find a way round it, only to find that the pop up stopper can later defeat the method you use. Cheers, Tom On Sat, 20 Oct 2007 10:23:56 -0700, you wrote: I

managed to keep it from taking more than 500ms in subsequent loads. If this scales to your 90 pages (maybe) you could shave off a good portion of those 30 extra seconds if you just load the clip over the existing one. hope that helps, Jon On 11/22/06, Tom Shaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Im

Ok firstly you need to do this in stages. 1) Load your meta data from the web server. This includes the url, width and height of you image. Put all this data into a container MC as variables or objects, or whatever you want to store them as. A nice class would be good here. 3) Create new

Well Id personally let your server do the conversion from the flash output. This will give you more more scope for error checking and taking the role of this away from flash provides your client with more security. If you decide later on that you want to add more options to flash you can easily

[Flashcoders] Data serialization - am I using the correct method?

2006-08-18 Thread Tom Shaw
Is there some magical method to get flash to serialise my objects correctly when Im sending data to the webserver? Im trying to send an array of objects up but all flash sends is an array with the right number of elements inside with no data. as: var testobj1:Object; testobj1.cid = testcid1;

Re: [Flashcoders] Data serialization - am I using the correct method?

Well I figured it out. You need to create custom classes for all the data objects you want to send back to your SOAP service. -- snip 8 -- //Relevant actionscript for sending the SOAP call. var testobj0:ContentMetaItem = new ContentMetaItem(testcid0,testtitle0,description0); var

Firstly Im not sure that you taking over the role of distributing the Adobe flash player is legal and secondly a good idea. The install process for different browsers is different. You cant just install the OCX inside Firefox for example. You are also not equipped to provide support to users

All fixed! Similar to Jasons problem this was a SOAP generation problem in Perl and the simple fact I wasnt doing it correctly. for anyone else who is having problems using Perl you must make sure you correctly type all your output to match the WSDL file. Google API is an excellent resource to
