Question

Animate HTML Canvas and Dynamic Data

Hi Everyone. I have a question that I hopefully can find clarity on. I must grab information from an internal server to show dynamic data using HTML5 Canvas. I am using AS 3.0, which we will have to terminate at some point, but it works perfectly. My issue is moving the dynamic data accessed with internal servers using Animate HTML Canvas. Specifically, I have an issue exporting the animation with HTML Canvas while accessing the dynamic data coded inside Animate. If I hardcode the data, I don't have a problem. However, I am trying to do it so that the dynamic data code I put in Animate exports the dynamic data called. I hope doing it this way decreases the need to code outside Animate. Has anyone experienced this? And is this even possible? If it is possible, how do I do it?

    Hi,

    You can use javascript to load external data, xml, json etc..

    and use it with html5 canvas script.

    Yeah, I need to find a way to make a place holder I can tag in json/javascript after it is published.

    This is correct. Looking for a way around this because it still uses code.
