Comments on: Notes on how LZX becomes a SWF /2003/06/notes-on-how-lzx-becomes-a-swf/ Sarah Allen's reflections on internet software and other topics Mon, 16 Jan 2006 18:41:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.1 By: Jason Luka /2003/06/notes-on-how-lzx-becomes-a-swf/#comment-42 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 18:41:21 +0000 /wordpress/?p=29#comment-42 Okay, to get a straight SWF file:

Open the editor and pick an edit window. I usually go ‘Laszlo in 10 Minutes’ to ‘Introduction’ to ‘Hello World,’ just because it’s at the top of the list.

Put your code in and update.

If necessary, stretch the frame that has your applet so you can see an empty space on it.

I’m not sure what the protocol for this is in IE, since I only use Firefox. On the frame with the applet, right-click the empty space and choose ‘This Frame’ to ‘Open Frame in New Window.’

In the new window, scan the url and erase anything after .lzx. Also, there’ll be a double-slash somewhere in the URL. Make it a single, then load the new URL.

You can fiddle with the options a bit, but they’re not really worth messing with. Just click SOLO.

On the next screen, just click CONTINUE. There’s nothing you need here.

After that, you have a link to the SWF at the top. You can save it from there with a real name instead of the garbage IT comes up with. When you press Continue, it’ll give you the HTML code to implement it on your webpage. Tada.

Unfortunately I don’t have an internet connection in my new apartment right now, but I will try to dowload that to my usb drive and check it out later. I was able to get the gallery application to run by instantiating my classes with javascript statements, though I would prefer to be able build the app with embedded XML, or, even better, apply a one-time pass through the XML to generate a static UI that will never change.

For the version that is connected to the server, I load the data for each gallery item dynamically, but I want to put this swf on a CD or web site that will not have a Laszlo installation available.

I sent you an email with the swf, but made some good improvements last night after sending it. If you are interested in seeing how I am using Laszlo, I made a 10 minute video about the project available here:

http://www.getafile.com/cgi-bin/merlot/get/UVc/Laszlo/Laszlo.wmv

It shows the gallery application running with the Laszlo backend server, so its fully functional.

Take care,
Josh
