Flash Bar Chart Project for Myspace

3 New Member
Hi, I'm a junior developer in London for a company that provides charities with webpages and out users with fundraising tools so they can get the most out of using the web.

Our current project is to build something with Flash that will pull data from a database - possibly ASP or RSS - to then use that data to show how much money people have donated for their charity and how much remains with regards to their target for charity (e.g. Cancer Research).

My question is this, for it to work on myspace I'm concerned that once I have it all put together that it wont work. I've been looking at tutorials and examples of bar charts from asp code and most of them seem not to work - however rss seems to be fairly happy... can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of url, ideas, books or anything!

I'm using Flash 8 for this project and I have access to most software. I'd really appreciate ANY input on this. Thanks.

Feel free to email me or reply here - my email is kai@justgiving. com

I've moved this to the Flash forum where you'll get more help. If you have problems with ASP, post them in the ASP forum.

Sorry my bad, however I thought maybe asp coders would possibly know the answer to it as the question is using ASP with Flash.

Specific queries regarding ASP can be posted in the ASP forum which can be accessed here. Javascript will not help unless you plan to use AJAX.

I should also point out that you should not post your email address because spammers can quite easily get hold of it. I don't moderate this forum otherwise I would have removed the email.

BTW, welcome to TheScripts. Hope you find a solution to your problem.

Thanks, I'd edit it if I could... but it seems I can't. Ah well! Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will remove it and give me a reply with some kinda solution.

Your primary difficulty may be getting the external data when the flash object is embedded in a MySpace page. I would suggest creating a test scenario for loading an external XML file from your server, and embedding it in MySpace to see if permissions restrict external access. If this all works correctly, then you should have no problem embedding a full working Flash Movie.

I would like to create web charts. My site is using AJAX, so I thought of VML and SVG for chart graphics. But there is a browser compatibility issue. Flash would be a good solution but I do not know ActionScript (only basic animation). Any other ideas or links or feedbacking the 3 above technologies are so welcome... Thank you.

This is driving me quite nuts. I have created several flash banners for a record label. They are meant to link to an artist splash page. Simple enough, right? Both Mac and PC users can click on these banners on my corporate client page, and anywhere else on the web for that matter, but the banners don't work for Mac users on Myspace - just Mac users. They can see the banner. the banner animates as it should, but clicking the banner produces...

Greetings. BACKGROUND: My sites are pure XHTML 1.1 with CSS 2.1 for markup. My pages are delivered as application/xhtml+xml for all non-MS web clients, and as text/xml for all MS web clients (Internet Explorer). My flash content was originally brought in via the “flash satay” method, but I have since used some server-side magic do deliver one <objecttag

I would like to place an animated BG on my MySpace page. An animated gif is horrendous on bandwidth (not to mention "hosting" size.) Is there any way to replace it with a FLASH img? (I saw a post from 2005 in the archives regarding this subject, but it was never resolved so i'm asking here...)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
