links, a newbe question

[3Tbles]

i'd like to make a new homepage for me...
my problem is that i haven't created a flash page before.

http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/Untitled3.swf
http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/Untitled3.fun

this is my result...
i'd like to have my page in the following way:
when i push the button on the right side, there will appear the sedcardinformation, or my gallery...

how can i do that?

[ant_Z]

so in button actions add Action Script:


on (release) {
page.gotoAndStop('nameOfKeyFrameInPageMovieClip');
}


so first line - is easy. second line makes that MC page goes to specified kay rame and stops.
In each frame with text in page MC add action 'stop move' (press F8 to open actions dialog).

change text as you wish. Hope that will help.

P.S. next time attach archive with all graphics :] and i like your page. Its simply and elegant. I like pages like yours :]

[3Tbles]

thank you very much!!!!!!

[ant_Z]

you welcome. pleasure was all mine :]

[3Tbles]

how can i make for example in contact, an contactframe or smth. else
in portfolio some photos and in sedcard some text...?

becouse in your version is text in contact, portfolio, sedcard...

[ant_Z]

just edit this like a normal movie.
you can add photos using Contentpane or Slideshow for example. if you want to add thumbnails, just make them, insert into MC, convert to button, add action get URL on _blank with target http://www.mroofka-z.yoyo.pl/2.jpg for example - this will open large image in new window.

i am so stuped for it...

can you help me?

there is one photo, can you make it in portfolio?
and some text in sedcard..

when i write some text in sedcard, smth like:

size: 36
171 cm

it doesn't work!

:(
thanks

[ant_Z]

MC is a shortcut from Movie Clip (eg. Media Clip).

It works, but youre trying to make black text on black background.

Ive added some effects to your file - just to show you. Feel free to delete them :) Try CTRL + A -> this will select all objects, even these not visible. To change color use "flood fill" button (it looks like a bucket) :]

[3Tbles]

thanks;))

but i can't open this .fun file because:

warning:file you are loading was created by a .....

and

expected $nvp$ ShapeWV


what version of KM do you have?

[3Tbles]

why it doesn't work???

Hi 3tables.

Two problems I see,

1. You are using buttons that use

on (release) {
page.gotoAndStop('PORTFOLIO');
}

I changed them to:

on (release) {
page.gotoAndStop("PORTFOLIO");
}


2. The buttons are sending the page clip to frame names that do not exist. Instead of stopping the page clip on frame 1 I added a frame so you can stop it on frame 2 (notice the error reminder that pops up if you put a stop command on frame one when you do it. Although you can...sometimes flashplayer ignores frame 1 stops so that is why it is recommended to not do it. Always start on frame 2 if possible). Then I named the succeeding frames to match your button actions:

http://actionscript.hobby-site.com/examples/3tbles.html


Hope this helps! :thumbsup:

[Chris_Seahorn]

Forgot number 3.

3. You had no stop commands on the frames inside the "page" clip. Although you tell the clip to stop with gotoAndStop, you should still hard code a stop for each frame in the actual clip.

[3Tbles]

hmm....i try it to do! thank you very much!
can you give me a .fun folder?
i'll see what i have done wrong...
sorry for my english!

[Chris_Seahorn]

I thought I did attach.....sorry 3tbles.

[3Tbles]

hmm..thanks:D

i've understood who to do it;)

but i dont understand why it doesnt work!

when i go to contact, and than to impressum ithis button doesn't work!

home.arcor.de/nastja1989/new-1.rar

[Chris_Seahorn]

You're getting the hang of....here is the problem in this one.

You have the impressium button sending the _root.page.imp clip to the frame named "IMPRESSUM"

http://actionscript.hobby-site.com/examples/3tbles1.jpg

but you forgot to name that frame in the imp clip. To name a frame you can do it a few ways...I do it this way.....highlight that frame in the top (the very top where it shows the frame numbers...10...20...etc) of the timeline of the imp clip and right click....then choose "rename":

http://actionscript.hobby-site.com/examples/3tbles2.jpg

Then type in the name you want (in this case IMPRESSUM):

http://actionscript.hobby-site.com/examples/3tbles3.jpg

Hit OK...back your way of the clip nest to the main timeline and test :)

http://actionscript.hobby-site.com/examples/3tbles2.html

[3Tbles]

thank you very much its very cind of you!

[Chris_Seahorn]

No sweat! In earlier versions of Koolmoves we had trouble targeting frame numbers but Bob has since fixed that (correct me if I'm wrong Bob) so you can just target the number and not have to waste time naming frames if you don't want.....

on(press){
_root.page.imp.gotoAndStop(3);
}

Frame names have their uses so both ways have merit but the numbered value is quicker since you don't have to name anything :)

[ant_Z]

the numbered value is quicker since you don't have to name anything :)

quicker? huh.. add a frame somewhere in the middle and tell me it quicker! when i get KM i didnt know about naming frames and i always used numbers... and i wont ever use them again...

[Chris_Seahorn]

Lets say I want to stagger step down a ten frame clip with an individual pic in each like I do in one of my opensource files. For instance stop on a frame based on a rank number....an integer that is read in at runtime. You think I want to name 9 frames and then have a hellacious "for" loop?....lol

Numbered frames and named frames BOTH exist for a reason dude. You code how you like...I'll do the same :)

[Chris_Seahorn]

Then imagine 100 frames..... :p :p

[ant_Z]

yea, but i was thinking about "very key" frames :]

[3Tbles]

hallo;)
so i have made a gallery, its a little bit fals and it works not good, but where can i find the same art of gallery but with xml????


if you don't know where you can find it...can you explain me?
thx

http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/new/


thanks...

[Chris_Seahorn]

I have a feeling after a few people get a look at your newest additions to the site...getting help won't be your problem ;)

[3Tbles]

thx;)
hehe but how can i achieve it?
and my contacformular;) i don't know where my mistake is...it doesn#T work!

[Chris_Seahorn]

If you are looking for Pro Bono coding (fre) you're welcome to request it at my site but I'm not allowed to deal with it here. If you have existing code that you just need fixed...that's different. Maybe one of the users here can help fix what you have :)

[Chris_Seahorn]

Edit: see above

[blanius]

There are at least two photo galleries on Koolexchange, I don't think there is one that uses XML though.

I'm working on one with PHP and Flash but it's a large project not ready anytime soon.

[bobgodwin]

It looks like you got it. Here's how I do it sometimes. If all you images are the same size, you can load the .jpgs into an empty movie clip. Here's the action script for the button :

on(release){_root.mcImage.loadMovie("image.jpg");
}

[blanius]

One thing I'm doing is using a clip loader that upon loading complete scales the images to fit.

thank you all;=)

Just edit the mcImage movieclip and change the position of the shape inside of it.
Use "Transforms / Numeric" and set the X and Y positions to ZERO.

p.s.
Bob, Anastasia deserves a KM licence for life.
Just check out her portfolio. She is VERY pretty.
She's gonna become a famous model. All you need is a T-shirt with KoolMoves for her.
:)

[Chris_Seahorn]

I'm going to handle her from my website as Pro Bono. She's all set.

[Stoke Laurie]

I would wear the t-shirt if the price was right!

[ant_Z]

;) guys you are all so nice;)

[Stoke Laurie]

Was wondering if any of you wolf whistling yanks could put this experience to good use and produce a chat room with KM?

[3Tbles]

hey guys;)
i am almost ready, but it is a little prob;)

http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/new/


there is gallery...
the same way of bobgodwin
, but this gallery is a separate swf file...
gallery.swf
which code have i to use, for it works in the index.swf file...

Open the gallery.fun file and edit the actionscript for those buttons.
Replace _root with this.
That's all.
:mrpimp:

[3Tbles]

http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/new/
my contactform doesn't work:(((
and i don't know why:(


but everything else,
my homepage is done!!
thank you all!!!!

[necromanthus]

http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/new/
my contactform doesn't work:(
and i don't know why:(

Edit the index.fun file.
See the content of the page movieclip.
At frame 15 you'll find this script:
loadMovie("flaformular.swf", "swf1");
stop();

Replace that script with this one:
swf1.loadMovie("flaformular.swf");
swf1._lockroot = true;
stop();

I hope that's all ... :smoov:

[3Tbles]

thx, but sorry i can't find it...:(

[necromanthus]

thx, but sorry i can't find it...:(

I need your index FUN file (zipped !)

[3Tbles]

home.arcor.de/nastja1989/new.zip


thank you!

[necromanthus]

See the attached file and upload those 2 SWF files on your site.

important notes:
1) delete the new.zip file from your site
2) delete all the uploaded FUN and FLA files from your site

[bobgodwin]

I've only been out of the country once (Not counting Cananda, which, until you get to Quebec, is more like going to another state) to Athens, Greece. And the beauty there was simply stunning (a wonderful place in general).

Necro (Though not a yankee, and a pretty good wolf whistler himself) must have a chat room amongst his creations.

Hi Bob,
Come and visit Romania. You'll be delighted.

OK. Just wait a bit :)

[necromanthus]

Everything works perfect on my server.

From your point of view, there're 3 possibilities:
1) your flaform.php file is not enabled (you have make it executable)
Using a FTP manager try to send this command:
chmod 755 flaform.php and see if the received message is OK.
2) your host (www.arcor.de) is not PHP enabled (I'm talking about the hosting accounts)
3) your host doesn't offer the SMTP capability (you can not send emails using scripts)

It seems that you need a better host ...

no, chmod is defaultly set to 644 or 666 (:devil:) so file is executable.
Can you tell us, which packet youve got, Anastasia?

[necromanthus]

no, chmod is defaultly set to 644 or 666 (:devil:) so file is executable.

When you upload a file the default value is 644.
It means NON executable !
Are you trying to argue with me dear ant ?

[ant_Z]

no, im trying to argue, if i would like to argue i would did it via PM.

but it is VERY strange, because ive got "forgot password" option at my site, using mail() function and with CHMOD 644 (which is default for my server) it unfortunately worx

[necromanthus]

okay i have replaced the files one more time...but it doesn't work:(

The first mistake: the flaform.php file is NOT enabled (executable) !
Why ?
Because you can download these PHP files:
http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/homepage/flaform.php
http://home.arcor.de/nastja1989/new/flaform.php

Make them executable and we'll see after that.

[Stoke Laurie]

But it's obviously you're concerned about those "anticipated" immigrants ...
ha ha haNot at all if they turn out to be as hard working as the 250 000 Polish folk who have come here over the past 3 years they are very welcome. Was just suggesting that he could come here and see them in the sun! :)
