flash dynamic content? Options

[hlall]

how would you be able to create dynamic content in flash... such as if you were to make a flash xanga... how would you put the content inside a flash box, without layering, so that perhaps it loads in a different way or something, is this possible?

I don't think it's possible to load the Xanga content into the flash swf dynamically. I believe the only way to position Xanga content over the flash swf is by using div layers.

oh okay... damn oh well

actually it's impossible to put any content over a flash movie, even using <DIV>s. Z-index attributes don't work either. The only way you could do something like that is using (if you use flash) an iframe in your flash. I don't think xanga.com can detect iframe codes in a flash movie, but it's worth a try.

divs work. plug.

i see, wow thats a nice flash layout... but i was trying to get the content to be dynamic and be part of the flash movie so that you can for example create an animation into the content or something, or if it has a loader type thing, so that the div doesnt cover over it if you know what i mean

thanks anyways

Actually, it is possible to put text into a flash object without "re-doing" it every time. I just dont know how to do it. I have seen it done by incorperating a "ini" or "xml" file into the flash source. This way, all you have to do is type your posts into THAT file and not in flash.

Of course, you would have to physically type in posts and code your own comment system.

So, in conclusion: It is possible to put something like this on xanga, it just requires some skill and a lot of time and knowledge. Kudos to anyone who actually takes the time to do this.

your logic doesnt apply to the question.. if he had to code his own commenting system ,etc, theres no point in putting it on a Xanga, now is there?

its okay, i wasn't interested in learning this mainly for xanga, i was just referring to it, i need to look into this...

plus you could use php and auto do it

no... it cant' be done with Xanga.

But you can load dynamic content if you have your own space. It can be done any sort of text file, including .html and .txt files.

Oh yeah. I forgot that xanga removed the ability to "include" remotely hosted pages. Oops!

(I havent actually used xanga in a while)
