actually I first tried it without anything, just the shape tween I wanted but then I thought that maybe it was passing so fast that I didn't notice it so just to make sure that I wasn't going to miss...

this is really weird...

after I am done with my movie (preloader and main scene), published and all, I tried to make some changes to the main scene just to see what it would look like. These...

Well, I decided to dump CGI and go with PHP for now because my host server has a problem with sendmail, besides... PHP is soooooo much easier, and shorter... :-)

Thank you all... this subject has been very enlightening.

I am seriously considering offering my webdesign services on a professional basis but as I am somewhat inexperienced as a freelancer, I am...

dunno if you're still around but if it doesn't start working soon or if I don't find an alternate script that works, I'll email you the server account details.... Thanks !!

I got a cgi script from the flash bible to use a flash email form but as I am a newbie with cgi I am kind of wondering if I left something out because after I submit the form the following message...

Just a wild guess and maybe improbable but it could be that your host/server only permits a ridiculously small file size upload...

Yup...

on (release) {
getURL ("mailto:yourname@domain.com");

Sniff... I'm getting a bad conscience for not showing what I did with mainframe's code. I was thinking of using it as part of a showy design feature but I had to opt out because I have to leave...

Wow mainframe! No wonder your brain hurts...
You're good!
thanx :D

Well, I used the code on one instance of an MC on the main timeline but apparently this code only works once on the main timeline, meaning that if I try to apply it to other instances on the same...

duuh, apart from developing acute scriptitis, maybe I should add a stop drag command somewhere in there, making the "constrain to rectangle" completely useless.Unless there is another way... What...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
startDrag ("_root.dragObj", true, 0, 143, 770, 186);

U guys are great! Thanks for your help... It works!! :)

Sniff! :-(

Doing the Mouse.hide is easy but what about a Mouse.hide constrained to a rectangle, eh? I need the mouse to hide when it rolls over one particular movie clip, image, whatever, within a .swf . It's...

Well, I've tried adding a couple of directories just to test it out and you're right... If you want your links to work you have to put everything under the same directory. It sort of sux but it...
