DYNAMIC XML EVENTS CALENDAR AS 2.0 VERSION

@therealmav

I had the same problem. The help file has an error. It doesn’t tell you to copy the com and js folders to the same folder where your fla is.

So just copy them to the same folder where your fla is and it should work.

Have I mentioned that I hate emoticons?

Hi, i am wondering if i could use this loaded in an existent flash site, or need to be opened in a new window? looks great!

nice. converting my old calendar to this one. I have a backend developer who is interested in porting Google Calendar API into this sucker… could be awesome.

Can anyone out there help with my question? I’m going crazy…

When you launch the calendar it displays the current date, is there a way to have it display the date of your choice? Lets’s say todays date is 8/12/08 and I want the calendar to start October 1 or November 1, is it possible? If so, can you direct me to the part in the code where I could change this?

Thanks, Mike.

This is a beautiful calendar! It’s very flexible and animated, however there are 2 bugs which can pose some problems.

Bug #1: You can add as many events as you want on a single day. Let’s say you add 15 events, a scrollbar will appear. Now let’s assume that there is a scrollbar in the description because you like to write long descriptions for the event. Now use your middle scroll button and scroll around. Notice, both scroll bars will scroll together. Not too bad of a glitch but can be irritating for some.

Bug #2: Again, this involves a scroller, however this poses difficult issues. Let’s say you have a very long description and you scroll through the description text. Now click on another Event from the side menu and you’ll notice that the position did not reset to its original spot. This can be painful because it doesn’t create a scrollbar and leaves a lot of text / the image unseen.

I have also found that the help file isn’t very helpful, and the comment system to be lacking of detailed descriptions on what does what. This can be very confusing to those who aren’t used to Actionscript, however there is just enough information to get around and modify the script.

I have found it difficult to modify the left menu inside FlashCalendar2 and have yet to figure this one out. Overall, this is a very nice script, it’s worth the asking price, and I like the flexibility of it. Realistically, I should be giving this 4 stars but I really like the application, and so I have given it a 5 star rating. Thanks for the app!

If anyone knows, please let me know how to edit the left menu inside FlashCalendar2. Thank you!

I’m still wondering why this isn’t working…. I can’t view ANY events. I don’t have the time to read through the 7 pages of discussions either…. please someone help- I paid 25 dollars for this and it STILL isn’t working…. I’m on a deadline…. Please!!

“Love the file! I went through and made all kinds of color changes. Been trying to connect it to my access database using ASP but have since given up. I’ve never used XML myself and am in great need of an admin page that is user friendly for the client. (Their login to the site sets global variables that will make features available based on the rights returned) I’ve looked at XML editor that you mentioned in a previous post but I just don’t see that as being very user friendly for a non-IT type person. Any ideas? I would LOVE a database driven version if you have it and an admin tool if available. Email is sykiemikey {at} hotmail

Thanks and 5 stars from me!”

I’m not stupid. I just thought that someone could help me out. I’ve tried a lot of different things and HAVE read a lot of the comments. I’m not asking for someone to do it all for me. I really liked how it looked and if I can get it working I’ll really like it… I just need some help- I’ll just have to read all the comments. Thanks for all the help though.

Thanks Saafi….my main problem is that I don’t have much experience with xml. I understand the basics, but not enough to write a cms for what I have. If it were in a database I would have no problem. All the data for the site is currently stored in access. I would need to rewrite the php to asp so I’m not sure it would be worth my time or $$. I’ll let you know if I’m interested.

Still very satisfied with the calendar. Best one I’ve found. I’d give you 10 stars if I could.
