Hello everyone! I am only getting to grips with GSAP and I use it for relatively simple animations and effects. I was working on this website (see the opening heading)- http://www.adbmedical.com Everything works very smoothly on my local machine but on the server there is a delay and the animation plays very choppy. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem? Many thanks in advance!

I've come across and issue which I have found a work around. I am loading and playing external FLVs from a different server from where my SWF is located. When published locally and pulling in the FLVs, everything worked fine. When placing the SWF online, it wouldn't load the FLVs. After a day of troubleshooting and using crossdomain policies, I've narrowed it down to the loading procedure used. My findings are below. Please feel free to comment or let me know if I missed something that would have prevented me from wasting a day. I have done the following: 1. added crossdomain.xml to the site where the FLVs reside 2. added import flash.system.Security; Security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.mywebsite.com/crossdomain.xml"); <br><br> to my FLA The above files/code didn't have an impact on anything after my testing. I was loading the videos through the following code: var numVids = this.model.xml.q.opt.length(); for (var k:Number = 1; k <= numVids; k++) { var videoSrc:String = vidPath + this.model.xml.q.opt[(k - 1)].source; urls.push(videoSrc); var videoSrcFB:String = vidPath + this.model.xml.q.opt[(k - 1)].fb.source; urls.push(videoSrcFB); } //trace ("urls = " + urls); var queue:LoaderMax = LoaderMax.parse(urls, { onProgress:_progressHandler, onComplete:_queueComplete, onChildComplete:_childComplete }, { width:873.6, height:479, autoPlay:false } ); queue.load(); The above code worked fine when publishing the SWF and testing locally but wouldn't load the FLVs once I placed it online. My workaround: var numVids = this.model.xml.q.opt.length(); for (var k:Number = 1; k <= numVids; k++) { var videoSrc:String = vidPath + this.model.xml.q.opt[(k - 1)].source; urls.push(videoSrc); var videoSrcFB:String = vidPath + this.model.xml.q.opt[(k - 1)].fb.source; urls.push(videoSrcFB); } //trace ("urls = " + urls); var queue:LoaderMax = LoaderMax.parse(urls, { onProgress:_progressHandler, onComplete:_queueComplete, onChildComplete:_childComplete }, { width:873.6, height:479, autoPlay:false } ); for (var m:Number = 1; m <= urls.length; m++) { //append several loaders var load = urls[(m - 1)]; var video:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader(load, { onComplete:_queueComplete, width:873.6, height:479, autoPlay:false } ); //<--THIS IS THE CODE THAT WORKED video.load(); } I would much rather keep the LoaderMax.parse function to keep the code nice and clean but doesn't seem to do the trick when trying to play FLVs from diff server. Has anyone run into similar issues?

I can't figure something out. I am trying to: Simply stated, I have loaded an XML doc. Changed it within Flash. I then want to update the XML doc on the server. Then reload the XML back into Flash. I have one main .xml document - "StudentXML.xml" (This is the file I want to overwrite with new info - it is also the file I read from with the application begins.) And one main .php document - "index.php" (sorry for my crappy naming standards..) Here is the PHP code I found (hoping it would do what I wanted) located in "index.php": <?php $filename = "StudentXML.xml"; $raw_xml = file_get_contents("php://input"); print $raw_xml; $fp = fopen($filename, "w"); fwrite($fp, $raw_xml); fclose($fp); ?> Here is my data I want to change and see transfered to the server to overwrite the current XML Document. At this point, I have already loaded, accessed, and read my StudentXML.xml within Flash. var newLogin:XML = <badge>eStudioLogin</badge>; studentXML.id.(@number == studentID.toString()).allBadgeNames.prependChild(newLogin); studentXML.id.(@number == studentID.toString()).badgesEarned = int(studentXML.id.(@number == studentID.toString()).badgesEarned) + 1; So far, and this is not working, I have pieced together this lovely bit of code: var requested:URLRequest = new URLRequest("www.mysite.com/index.php"); requested.data = studentXML; // This does trace the entire [i]edited[/i] XML document that is in Flash requested.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; var loader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(requested,{name:"StudentXML",onProgress:showProgress}); loader.load(); I know I am being dumb. It can't be this hard to transfer data and overwrite an existing xml document. Any help would truly be appreciated. Thanks, Adam
