Flashfeed release 0.02


Info: FlashFeed is a project that enables the use of Joomla as backend to Adobe Flash sites. It is possible to edit and post your content in Joomla and feed it into a Flash movie, making Joomla an advanced CMS backend.

I decided to work a little bit on with the FlashFeed project. I've now programmed a small Flash class that extends the AS3 Loader class, and makes it simple to use the Flashfeed files. Download the files here. It works just like the last post explained, and in the .zip file you will find an example folder that shows a working FlashFeed project. All you have to do is this:

  1. Download the .zip file and unzip it
  2. Upload the contents of the "Joomla Files" to your Joomla root folder
  3. Use the class in the "Flash Classes" folder to communicate with your Joomla site
  4. If you can't figure it out, look in the "Example" folder

Hey Joseph. If you download the zip file, then you will see a folder called "Example". Simply follow my instructions in the 0.02 release post.

All you have to do is to upload the files inside "Joomla Files" to your Joomla root, and then open up MainClass.fla, type your website URL into MainClass.as, and then give it a try :-)

If you need tutorials on how to work with XML, visit gotoandlearn.com - they have a bunch of nice tutorials...

I keep get the following error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hey Dawan

I can't see why this error should come. Do you have errors when trying to view articles and sections?

Try commenting out line 11 and see what happens. Do you still get the error?

What php version are you running? It could be because you are running php version 4 and I use the SimpleXML element in my code - which I think is only for php 5 and up.

Just changed my .htaccess file to AddType x-mapp-php5 .php and I'm still getting the error.
