Custom XML News Reader (AS2)

Hello Joe,

I purchased your file, great ! Is it possible to remove picture when there is no picture ?

Thank you for your Help ! saig

@saig

– You’ll need to take the code posted here and copy over the entire section of code within the newReader movie clip (in the actions layer). Copy over the whole sections named: SETUP MAIN XML

Then in your xml file, leave the pic tag for the news items you don’t have a picture for, but just leave the tag empty like this: < PIC >< /PIC > (remove the spaces)

That should work for you.

Thanks for your purchase!

Joe

I have some problem with Latin characters in Bold type for example: öÖçÇ??i???üÜ?I

I can’t see all special characters in Bold type.

Help me Please !

Thanks

Joe

Does this allow you for inner linking to other modules?

In any case, it is on my list for purchase. As I intend to use it as my web site’s news display and have them go directly to their choice (ie) the mp3 player sections

Beautiful file!

I added it into my as2 main site as an external swf. It works fine but it doesn’t resize when i reduce the window…can you tell me how to solve the problem?

I also want to know how to change text size and font…

Thanks!

I also have problem with special characters like “à, è, ì, ò, ù, ...”.

Please help me.

Thanks again!

Hi Joe.

I solved many problems by my self. Only 2 remains:

1. it doesn’t resize when i reduce the browser window;

2. how to increase image size (more than 80×80 px).

Please reply. Thanks.

Thanks for answer!

I have already scalable="true" in the xml file as the original file. It correctly goes into the stage, but if i resize the browser window with the news module already opened it doesn’t automatically resize, so i have to refresh it.

I understand it would be very difficult for you to solve this problem, if you can’t it doesn’t matter the file works well anyway.

Thank you!

You can see the working file at: http://www.gigiodesign.it

The news module is on the “I DO” section.

Thank you very much for help!

I loaded the file as an external swf, but the resizing doesn’t work automatically. I tried to embed it as you say but the problem remains…

The only way to make it automatically resize into the window is to change Stage.scaleMode = "noScale" to Stage.scaleMode = "Scale", but in this way the main site doesn’t cover the full width and height.

I think this could be an interesting starting point for you, in order to understand the real problem.

Any other suggestion?

Thanks anyway!

I sent you the link to download the entire site in your private page.

Thanks!

This is in your file “preview.fla”. You can find it in layer “a” line 20.

To open the fla files you need to install the lacotween package i sent you by mail.

Thanks!

THE FILE WORKS PERFECTLY !

You solved my problem so quickly! Thank you so much Joe! 5 stars!

Hi,

if you have a short newsitem, will the expanding be automatically disabled?

Thanks
