Flashblocks Flash CMS Component
(Flash Content Management System)

Hi guys,
I have tried to set up the xml editor the same as it is here
flashblocks.com/FlashblocksML/ReadMe.php#XMLeditors

But I can not get it to show edit file when clicked on the movieclip associated with the editblock. I also tried the menu xml option and it is not appearing in the menu either. Any ideas what i am doing wrong.

I have text boxes being edited correctly in other parts of the site, so i do believe that fb is working correctly.

My first frame looks like this

-
import flashblocks.Flashblocks;

#include "mc_tween2.as"

//More information about MC Tween can be found here:
//hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/
if (!$addTween && !gs.TweenMax) {
if (!$addTween) trace("mc_tween2.as is not compiled into the Flash movie.")
else if (!gs.TweenMax) trace("TweenLite is not compiled into the Flash movie.")
}


loadMovie("intro.swf",emptymc);

eb.editors = {XMLeditor:[{caption:"Edit File", editorObject:{file:"projects.xml"}}]}
flashblocks.Flashblocks.menuCommand(null, {tag:"XMLeditor", editorObject:{file:"yourFile.xml"}})

stop();

Thanks,

maybe it would be best if someone could give me a sort of step by step as to how they set up an xml editor.

I really need get this working and am not sure what is going on.
I set up a test file first and copied the files over and it worked correctly in the test but not in the copied over final version. They are in the same directory. Any ideas?

I think I may have found what the issue was. I turned the alpha down to 0 and it doesn't show up but if i turn it to 1 then it does.
I guess if it is attached to the movieclip that is set to 0 alpha it wont work? Has anyone else had this issue.
Also is there a way to accomplish only seeing the editable clip when you are logged in.
Thanks,
Randy

In Flashblocks 2, if the Editblock is not visible, _visible=0, or _alpha=0 then it is disabled.

You can watch to see when a user logs in and then change that alpha of the MC

Thanks for this!
