Use only XML to configure your flash projects?
Think again!
GoGoXML AS3 class is a class that allows you to easily manage local (XML) and remote (Google Spreadsheet) configurations at the same time.
Using GoGoXML, you can access and edit your important configurations, or configurations that have to be changed quickly/timely via Google Spreadsheets!
The preview above is an example showing how GoGoXML can be very useful for some sites. Let’s say your site has to display sports results and these names of winners has to be updated LIVE . Forget about using ftp to edit and reupload your xml… forget about creating a CMS … simple access and edit these dynamic and important data using GoogleSpreadsheet on your browser or even smartphone!
What’s more? Using GoGoXML, you can even stream REALTIME data from GoogleSpreadsheet into your Flash project! By simply configuring the config.xml, you can easily let GoGoXML Class keep polling data from Google Spreadsheet periodically!
This is an example of how your config.xml will look like when you use GoGoXML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config islive="false" nextpollseconds="30" path="PATH_TO_GOOGLE_SPREADSHEET">
<property name="gold" cell="B4" />
<property name="silver" cell="B6" />
<property name="bronze" cell="B8" />
<property name="backgroundMusic" value="just_an_example.mp3" />
</config>
As shown above, in the config.xml you can effortlessly point some configs onto respective cells on a spreadsheet!
How to make use of this incredibly easy to use AS3 Class is all up to your imagination. Have fun!
