The Compact News Viewer is a great way to present your latest news when you don’t have much space! It has many great features…

It is updated by editing an XML file. It’s very easy! Add as many news items as you like!

The full news articles can contain HTML text. CSS styles for links (with hover!) are already set up for you in the flash file.

You can add unlimited news items with automatic scrolling on mouse over. If the full news items are long scroll arrows appear so you can scroll down and view the whole article.

Since the full news articles are HTML , they can contain images and swfs as well as other HTML formatting such as lists, bold, underline,etc.

Compact News Viewer v2.0 is now available:

Nellie, Before I purchase this, I need to know if by “loading html” etc that it would load html through another website. ie: I am trying to call and embed a live calendar that is hosted on another site. If this is not the thing I need, maybe someone can point me in the right direction? I have the code to call the calendar in but can’t seem to get it to work in flash in any way.

Any help would be great. Hopefully this is the file I need!

faye

faye, this file loads content from an xml file. The xml file may contain html content. I don’t think you’d be able to get it to work with your calendar.

Flash only reads limited html tags, so you may have trouble getting this calendar into flash.

PLEASE HELP

I’m trying to load the Compact News into a container inside my Other Main Movie but no text is been loaded. I also tryed to compy the whole movie and I dropped it into my Main Flash movie but nothing is happening ;(

Do you have any ideas what is it?

I though the whole idea of the compact news is to be able to drop or load the movie.

The problem is probably that you havn’t copied the “newsItem” movieclip from the library of my file into your file.

Hey Nellie Great File Congratulations amazing file and support.

By the way I had found it a little problem and the problem is that when you scroll down the extended info and then you go back to slect any other short news menu, it will show the extended info in the same area that you left the past one on. It is a little confusing the way I’m trying to explain but for example i go to short menu A and then I scroll down all the extended and I leave go to short menu B, I will start seing the news from the botton part because that is how a left the extended info of short menu A

vred, I think that issue is fixed in the Compact News Viewer v2.0. I’ll take a look when I get a chance and find you the code to fix that. Regarding loading a swf from the news detail menu, do you mean when you click on the new item instead of showing the full item it loads a swf?

vred, for the scrolling issue, on line 11 you will find the

back.onRelease = function() {
...
}

Within this function on a new line add:

fullNewsItem.fullNews.scroll = 0;

That should fix the problem. Let me know how it goes.

Regarding loading a swf file, on line 143 of the actionscript you will find: 
item_mc.onRelease = function() {...}

This is the function that is called when you click on the item, so you would need to add some script here to load the swf. I’m not sure exactly what you are trying to do, and it is too complicated to explain here. If you are interested I am available for freelance work, so if you email me with some more details I can give you a quote.

Yes you can put the swf in an iframe. I’m not sure what you mean by implanting your blog in the viewer. Your content for the viewer comes from an XML file which you can update manually.

andytom, if you open the flash file, you can open up the “newsItem” and “fullNewsItem” from the library, and change the font of the text boxes in both of those movieclips. It should actually already be set to arial, I’m not sure why it’s appearing as times to you.

Great Item, Very easy to adjust, though the idea of scalability within the xml is nice on your v2. My question is this… I have an xml populated flash menu calling this swf into a movie clip, the scroll function, highlighting, back button, swf, and jpgs appear. But no text. Can you offer any suggestions

Hi Nellie, Your file is fantastic – however I am in desperate need of altering it slightly. Is it possible to load a different URL when each item is clicked rather than going to the full news item? Your help would be much appreciated.
