HomeBrowse CategoriesFlashApplications and UtilitiesDynamic XML Events Calendar AS 3.0 Version

DYNAMIC XML EVENTS CALENDAR ACTIONSCRIPT 3 .0 VERSION :
This is an actionscript 3.0 based advanced dynamic xml calendar. It has a lot of features and very clean design.

FEATURES :
  • Dynamic XML based Events Calendar
  • Navigation for months and years
  • Unlimited Events per day
  • Ability to show thumbnails in two ways, either use the dedicated thumb node in the xml file or use the img tag in the CDATA tag of the xml file
  • Ability to set most of the colors through variables at the top of the code
  • Ability to show an event in details by passing a date through flashVars.
  • Centralized Coding
  • Help file is included
  • Fonts are included with the source files
  • Very Easy Setup / Installation.

ITEM FAQs:

  • I am trying to load this calendar in another swf file but it stretches over the whole website interface, how can I fix it?

    In the actionscript code inside the FlashCalendar movieclip comment out the following block of code:

    Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
    Stage.align = "tl";
    //create a stage listener object
    var stage_listener: Object = new Object();
    Stage.addListener(stage_listener);
    
  • How to Show Title of the Event Instead of Events Count:
    This can be done but one title of one event can be displayed for a particular day.

    replace the following line inside the initEventsCalendar function:

    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.text = events_counter + " Event(s)";

    with:

    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.autoSize = true;
    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.wordWrap = true;
    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.multiline = true;
    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.text = dateMC.dayEvents[0].TITLE;

    You can also show the title in fixed length, if you have too much long titles which will mess up the display, by using the following line:

    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.text = dateMC.dayEvents[0].TITLE.substr(0,20);
  • then inside enlargeDateBox function add following line:
    target.total_events_mc.alphaTo(0, .5, "easeOutExpo");
    and then inside openEventDetails function’s selected_date.close_btn.onRelease = function(){ section add the following line:
    selected_date.total_events_mc.alphaTo(100, 1, "easeOutSine");

    then its most probably path issue. Make sure the xml file’s location is relative to the swf file which loads this calendar swf file.

    Hello Saafi,

    1) What are the differences between the AS 2 .0 version and AS 3 .0? Why was version 3.0 created?

    2) Are there limitations with AS 2 .0? Does one version have an advantage over the other?

    3) Is the programming the same for both?

    4) Are both versions primarily edited through the XML file?

    5) I imagine that a Flash program would be used for the color and font aspects (aesthetics), whereas the XML is strictly for the content such a pictures and words.

    I plan to purchase one of these versions in about two days.

    @turner2f

    the only difference between AS2 and AS3 version is the version itself and it was needed because AS2 version files work only with AS2 and AS3 works only with AS3 .

    Data is coming from xml file but for interface customization u will need to modify the .fla file.

    Hi,

    I still can’t get my calendar to load/function correctly when uploaded on my browser. I would appreciate your help further as after days of effort, I am not sorting it out.

    Do I still up load the index.html file you sent (I have it in the corresponding folder), or is it not needed when I have an index.html for the parent swf?

    Thanks for your time to assist.

    Hi Saafi,

    I still haven’t found the correct place to insert:

    you can make the “theLabel” textfield multiline and then it will be almost okay. You can do so by add the following line prior to line where it sets the text: dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.multiline = true;

    Sorry to bother you again, but can you give me more specifics?

    Other than that, so far it is working out very well1

    Thanks again,

    Karen

    Hello Saafi,

    I am ready to purchase. Thank you for the answer to my above question.

    Just one more before I decide which version to get.

    I have Flash CS3 : Doesn’t CS3 read both AS 2 .0 files along with AS 3 .0 files?

    Or will AS 2 .0 ONLY work with Flash 8?

    Usually Flash CS3 should work with both AS2 AND AS3. If yes, then I will assume that it is safe for me to get the AS2 version.

    Please let me know and then I will purchase.

    You will only be able to show the title of the first event for a particular day.

    put the following three lines:
    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.autoSize = true;
                dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.wordWrap = true;
                dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.multiline = true;
    before:
    dateMC.total_events_mc.theLabel.text = dateMC.dayEvents[0].TITLE;

    Thank-you so much for that info, I see it is now in the FAQs as well! One last question and I think I will be done and won’t bother you any more, at least for the event calendar!

    Now when the date is clicked, I have the event title twice. What is the easiest fix for this??? I think ideally I want the small title from the main calendar to disappear.

    This works very well for our event calendar… there is only one event per day!

    Hi, I was wondering, how would I take your Flash Email Form (http://flashden.net/item/flash-email-form-2/3130) and have it so when the events page opens up it shows that form? So the client can RSVP for a certain event. I have some knowledge of Actionscript, do you have any advice on something like this?

    Thanks

    inside enlargeDateBox function add following line:
    target.total_events_mc.alphaTo(0, .5, "easeOutExpo");
    and then inside openEventDetails function’s selected_date.close_btn.onRelease = function(){ section add the following line:
    selected_date.total_events_mc.alphaTo(100, 1, "easeOutSine");

    @Bandaman

    well if you know actionscripting then it should not be a problem for you do it yourself. The form is self contained movieclip can be ported to this calendar file’s library and then use it.
