- Movie Clip Menu ProblemDear Friends,
I have a bit of a rookie problem....
I have created a simple menu very similar to www.goldendrum.com
As your mouse moves over the button,(the over frame of my button) the movie clip plays, but then I cannot access the buttons that I have placed in the movie clip. What am I doing wrong... I tried making the hit area huge, so that it encompasses the whole movie clip but that doesn't help...
any suggestions would be welcome.

- Flash capabilities - full screen data applicationI am looking into creating a kiosk display application which will sit in
lobbies etc displaying text, pictures and video on a plasma screen. This
application needs to have a very nice visual presentation (hence I am looking
at flash) and will get its data (text, pictures etc) from a bunch of web
services hosted elsewhere. The idea is that the machine hosting the display
application will need to be completely unmanned and likely to be locked away
with no access via a keyboards or mice etc. It will get the content from a
location across the internet (web service) and continually run without the need
for maintence or human care. Can flash achieve this with stability?

- Need Flash MX Upgrade for Windows..and no, you can't convince me to upgrade to MX 2004. That product isn't worth
the cd's they're pressed on or the electrons to download.
Anyone can refer a site that has Flash MX Upgrade for sale and is still in
stock? (Dont say ebay, all they have is education/academic versions listed)

- controling an flv with a mouseoverOK, I was using Flash up until MX 3 years ago. I recently started doing
websites again and I d loaded FL CS3, I'm pretty familiar with Flash but
actionscript 3.0 will take some time. Since I have to do sites I have hardly
anytime to study and do tutorials so I have to do and learn. I have an fla that
needed to be broken down, have some elements used in an xml page in
Dreamweaver. The problem is on the fla page there are six small (10 frame tween
and text) movie clips. In the original fla you could click them to open the
flvs. What I want to do is similar, I was able to save the movie clips and
convert to fla's I wanted to place the flvs into an xml page in Dreamweaver
which I was able to do but I want to use a mouseover to play the flv and then
to click and open the another full flv in a blank page. Should I be in the
Dreamweaver forum for this? I just need to know if I can have a flv play in an
html or xml page and activate the flv with a mouseover Dreamweaver or Flash? I
hope I'm clear

- Two rows in Multiple Choice answersHello,
I am setting up a quiz using Flash MX and the learning interactions templates that are provided with the program.
Now, my customer wants that several multiple choice questions contains really long ansers (100 or more characters) and now I have a problem: the template allows to only display 79 - 80 characters.
Do you know how I can force the template to display two lines of text? That would be enough as none of the answers is longer that 160 characters...

- Flash Security / Sandbox problem?Hi all, not sure how to categorize this but I'm getting a problem with a
'Connect To' prompt whenever someone accesses my flash app from the web.
What's trange is that the prompt doesn't pop up when I'm running it on my
laptop (my laptop is running IIS).
The flash app is basically a web-cam viewer that loads JPG files from a
server. Here's a link to the prompt I'm getting (i've changed the IP address
for illustration purposes) http://66.64.47.211/temp/sample.jpg
http://66.64.47.211/temp/sample.jpg
If I put in the administrator login and password for the server, then it works
ok. Obviously I can distribute the app in this state :-)
I tried changing the local playback security settings in the Publish options
but that doesn't help either. The other strange thing its that this doesn't
seem to happen on another server running IIS.
Any ideas?

- Jumping to a specific frame in another movieI'm wondering how to jump to a specific frame in an external movie. I'm not
using the loadmovie command so I don't think the _level command will work. I
just have two swf movies playing on the same page. I need to have a button in
Movie A when released will go to a certain frame in Movie B. Thanks!

- Please point me to some database education...After several months learning Flash, I find I need to learn how to build and
manage databases for use on e-commerce websites. I know zero about this. My
websites are hosted with Ipower web which provides databases. I stare at them
with complete ignorance. I read a book on SQL but it was over my head, it
never mentioned what application I could use to actually write a SQL statement
in. I would rather go with a non-Microsoft solution but since I know so little
maybe Microsoft (ASP?) is the best way to go. I am in the blissful state of
ignorance where you don't even know what questions to ask lol
I know there are storefront applications that manage online stores for you and
I may end up using one of these. But I would rather learn to build my own
databases. I don't think it is that hard.
So if you know what education I need, please point me to it...
Thanks,
Will

- Can't see checkbox label if inside maskI can see the checkboxes in my movie fine, but the labels are not visible if I
move them inside a mask for a wipe effect. The mask placement or size is not
the issue. It's something else. The labels are just "gone".
Also, how do you change the color of the labels?

- What to do if person doesnt have flash installedI want to put a flash movie up on my front page to replace a static image I
currently have. I am worried what happens to people who access the page, but do

Any suggestions, on this would be appreciated.

- Javascript links in external text files?Folks,
I know how to load an external text file into a movie, and I know how to
create HTML links in my text file. What i can't figure out is how to open a
pop-up window from an external text file. I need to have a link that opens a
specifically sized pop-up with no scrollbars, etc. I tried using the following:
<a href='javascript:openWin('../images/galleries/press/1.htm')>
I changed the double quotes to single quotes, since I know flash doesn't like
them. Is there something wrong with my syntax, or is it just that you can't do
JS links in text files?
Any help is much appreciated.

- Using Buttons as MoviesI created a flash header where the buttons are individual movies. What happens
is that there is no arrow to select the button/movie, and if you just place
your cursor of the menu, it takes you directly to the URL. The user does not
get a chance to decide to which link s/he wants to go!
I have uploaded the zip file to my site if anyone can help me out. TYVM!

Flash, How do I add ENTER_FRAME to a button?
I have a function called openPortfolio() that I want to rotate an
object called portfolioRing_mc to 65 degrees, in 5 degree increments.
I want to call the function on a mouse click. I can get it to jump to
65, but I don't know how to get it to do it in 5 degree increments.
What I want is an ENTER_FRAME event that is activated by a CLICK
event. I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any help would be
appreciated.
Here is what I have so far:
function openPortfolio (event:MouseEvent):void {
while (portfolioRing_mc.rotation != 65) {
portfolioRing_mc.rotation += 5;
}
}
portfollio_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, openPortfolio);
BTW I'm new to Actionscript 3.

- Flash performing v slowlyI'm using Flash MX 2004 on Windows XP and whenever I try to do anything at all
the program hangs for several seconds before responding. During that time
flash.exe is using up 99% of CPU. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the
software. Is there anything else I could try?

- mx2004 crashing other programsI have 3 days left on my trial and I'm probably going to pass on this version
unless MM has a change of policy in regard to bug fixes. By the way
"Macromedia" is one word, "MM" must stand for something else... maybe "More
Money".
The latest problem I've found with mx2004 is that it'll crash my newsreader if
it's open when I try to launch mx2004. I use NewsPro, which can be found at
http://www.usenetopia.com/#seltopics if anyone is interesting in testing this.
The Flash splashscreen won't appear and the newsreader is hopelessly locked up.
The only solution I've found is to force quit NewsPro and then spend an hour,
and a few cents with my pay news service, reloading all the headers. MX opens
fine, as does every other program I use. The mx2004 splash screen appears
after I force quit my newsreader. Is this somehow related to the authorization?

- Flash MX publishes HUGE Quicktime files on Mac/IntelThis is a on a Macbook Pro / Intel machine, via Rosetta, presumably. I've
transferred my Flash MX application from a G3-PowerPC Mac OS 10.2.8 machine,
where this problem did not occur:
I publish my animations as Flash .SWF files, animated .GIFs, and Quicktime
.MOV files. Sometimes -- but not always -- the .MOV files get written out as
VERY LARGE, HUGE, 32Gb files. This consumes all of my available disk space and
as you can imagine causes slowdowns and other problems until I can persuade Mac
OS to delete the file. Besides this being very annoying, I'm concerned about
the stress it is putting on the system.
Any ideas?
Note: this only happens to the Quicktime .MOV files when publishing from
Flash, and only sometimes. I haven't had this problem anywhere else.
Thanks,
Eddie

- Tutoiral QuestionI'm fooling around with the Introduction to Flash tutorial and am in the button section of the tutorial. I was wondering where is the property or action to change change the mouseover effect of a button. Say for button1 when the mouse is over the button, the word "links" shows up.
I would have thought this would under button1, text, over; but I can't seem to find it

- Why does the ActiveX control that installs your player install Yahoo! toolbar without asking?The yahoo toolbar has been an option for a couple years - only recently has the issue begun to
surface just a little - but during this time the flahs player continues to be the most downloaded
plugin in internet histlry and flash 8 downloaded at a much faster rate than previous versions. The
toolbar is not always an option during download either - i for one have a hard time trying to find
it - i go to the page it is but see no mention of the toolbar - none of my clients ever have and
personally the yahoo toolbar is simply not an issue - i think i might just speak for the majority.

- LoadMovie newb question - filesizesI'm not really a newb to Flash, been using it for years and am in school for
the programming aspect of it now. But I've never really used the LoadMovie
class and I'm curious about some parts of it:
If I "loadmovie" how do I control WHERE it gets loaded (I.e. it's dimensions
and location on the stage in the main movie)? Or must it always simply replace
the current movie? I've done the On Release LoadMovie ("name.swf") before and
the end result is that my current main movie is replaced with the loaded one.
Is it possible to load a movie before showing it? LIke stream it down and
just have it in place to load later on?

- Exporting a movieHi
I have just finished my first simple and basic Flash (movie?) and it does not
show on my site. I realised that I had uploaded an .swf so I quickly went back
and tried to save as a .fl. I cannot find this option (if this is the correct
one) anywhere.
Can someone please help and explain what Publish means.
Many thanks

- textfield half visible over mc on higher depthThis is a pretty odd bug.
Basically when viewed through a web browser, the text field that is behind a
couple mc's with various alphas, will occasionally flash half the text on the
top level depth, or other odd rendering effects along that line.
text field was created using createTextField. It is an html text field with no
css applied. It exists in a swf loaded externally.
The MC's above that text field are also loaded external from seperate swf's.
Problem only occurs when played in a web browser, and bug is different
depending on machine and browser combinations.

- Saved files disappearThis is weird. My OS is Leopard on a Mac. I'm using Flash CS3. The last few
weeks, whenever I save a Flash file to the folder I want to store it in, the
file doesn't show in Dreamweaver(CS3). It will show in Finder as being in the
proper folder but it will not show up in Dreamweaver until some time has gone
by. Usually it's just been a 10-15 minutes. Tonight, it's been over an hour
and still not there.
What's goin' on???

- onRelease event on image from xmltarget the MC you are using to load the images into, assuming you are using a
loop in the onLoad handler to propagate the image to the stage. as you iterate
through the XML loading, add the on handler method to each MC with the
appropriate file path for the load handling. If you are setting the XML data
into an array for storage and then recalling it on loading each new image,
construct an object to store in the array that contains all relevent info for
that image coming in form the XML, then use that info when bring the image to
the Stage and add the on handler at that time.
