flash/XML managed through C5
Permalink
Has anyone done this before and if so could they share this knowledge?
Essentially I am trying to have an interactive flash piece that links to images that my client can choose form the file manager.
Thanks in advance

Oh alternatively I could just try to create a static image map that does the same but again how I allow the client to manage the images/content that appear through C5 is all new to me.

I wouldn't even know where to start...
I can build the interactive part and have teh links in an external XML file but from there I don't know where to go... the links I would normally give would just be HTML links to an images folder.
I have never linked to any file manager images in C5...
All completely new to me
sorry if this sounds vague but there are a number of projects that I could use this for (namely my own site etc) but firstly all I want to do is create an interactive floor plan of a property I have built the site for and for each room on each level to have rollovers to display the room images and for the client to be able to update the images that are linked as the rooms are changed decorated or added.

There are quite a few small things you need to know to be able to do this...
AS3, XML, PHP, C5 API....
There are tutorials for every part in the internet but not a single tutorial that explains everyting together...
If things get really boring I might write such a tutorial someday but that's going to take a while and since I'm already overloaded with work, this is not going to happen soon.
If you start working on it and ask "smaller question", I'm there to help you, but that's it ):

Apologies if it sounded like I was asking for a hand holding exercise here I was merely trying to find out if there was a quick way to put in some code in the flash or XML file that would link to the library... obviously there is more to it than that so as you say... read the manual! (well search the web) the only part I am comp[lately unsure about is the C5 php link part the rest I can work out... in fact I'm sure if I get under the hood of some of the blocks some of the answers will be in there... I was just sorta hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction of the things to be looking at.
cheers Remo anyway, as always your first and most informative response.

Ugly thing is that I'm writing a temporary xml file because I didn't want to pass all the data to the flash using FlashVars.
I have lots of data.. As far as I remember the limit of FlashVars is somewhere around 2^16, that would have been enough I guess but xml files are easier to read...
What are your problems?
