I have been given a task to add a company’s logo to an existing Flash file (.swf). The instructions are to update the .xml document that come with the Flash file.
I am not sure how this would fit into a Domino website - that is, the Flash file is protected and how does Domino render .xml documents?
The Flash file works fine as is without the .xml document.
The instructions are not the greatest…
My questions are:
How does Domino render an .xml file and how do I plug it into the Domino website?
Is there any way to unprotect the Flash file so I can edit?
I am experimenting with Flash, XML, and Domino myself so I’ll take a stab at your questions.
I’m going to answer #2 first. No. If the Flash file is already compiled into an .swf extension…it’s pretty much locked down.
I’m assuming that the flash file is already reading from the XML file. Correct me if I am wrong. If so, open the XML file, analyze it, and write some code in LotusScript to either modify that XML file appropriately - OR - write your LotusScript to over-write the XML file completely with the proper XML.
You mentioned that the flash movie works fine without the XML document…this could indicate that it isn’t truly reading from the XML document and the above information is useless.
For further examples of how to integrate Flash and Domino including information on how Domino presents it’s XML, see my new article on IBM developerZone:IBM - United States
