Thanks for the replies.

Yeah northcode I saw macromedia's explaination, and didn't get much out of it, so I was wondering if anyone here knew of any ideas.

In any case I decided to do some...

Hey guys need some help on the states of onReadyStateChange

Hey guys, it's me again with my VB related flash questions :)

Well I finally got all my other issues worked out in terms of preventing swf export from exe files. Thanks Northcode, FNP, Gambini...

Oh yeah forgot about the onProgress and ReadyStateChange commands... I was trying to delete the file after x amount of time, but thought that wouldn't be safe so i just did it on exit. But now i...

I got to say thank you to everyone on the board, and especially Northcode.

From your last reply I figured out that basically what was happening was encrypting and compressing the swf, then...

Well I have yet to get any replies to this, I'm wondering if maybe this is somewhat of a private issue that would jeoprodize programs such as swf studio, flash n' pack and others.

If anyone has...

I did this in visual basic, you can take a look at a mini tutorial, it shows how to use fscommand to talk between vb and flash (you can apply it in the same way to c++).

There is no way to bypass that prompt by using the url function you are using. Because it is esentially thinking that you are trying to download that file off the internet.

Hello all, me again.

Well I made my own projector by embedding my swf in my own VB program. After I compiled my VB program, I was surprisingly able to extract swf using northcode's exe2swf tool....

it's okay guys.. i figured it out.

I forgot that only movie clips can be referenced (not buttons), so i just put the button in a movieclip

well it's not exactly free, and I don't have any clue as to if they are any good (although i've heard they are okay, but not good if you...

I think i have the right idea, and i'm pretty sure i've done this before but can't remember how.

I have a button symbol (button-restore) in a movieclip (movie-topbar), and the movieclip is on the...

Flash 'N Pack: Yes you can embeded the swf in the VB program, therefore you don't have to distribute the swf with the .exe that VB creates. As northcode said just set the embedMovie Property to...

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you. I finally fiqured out how to embed the swf into the exe. I kept trying to do it by making the movie property field read: app.path & "filename.swf". --> I...

Thank you all for replying, each one was quite useful.

I looked at the demo of flash studio and it seems very useful, and easy to use.

However northcode brought up an issue that i had never...

Okay here is the deal:
I've created a standalone program using flash 5 that i plan on distributing. Right now I've compiled it as a projector file (.exe), because I want it to seem similar to any...

It is much more efficeint to use else if (it's just like how your brain works.)

ex. just say the question related to determining a person's age, and the possible answers are you are a baby, child,...

why not just have a variable at the beginning of the text file that holds the number of variables in the text file...

I'd have to disagree with martiansam, it won't matter if you create an swf or projector (.exe) file...

what will matter is using the exec command to open a file, this only works when the swf...

the file needs time to load before the if statement can be processed...

solution: load the file at frame x, and then process the if statement at frame x + 3 (3 or 4 or 5 whatever frames later)

go to the text options panel and select embed fonts (only select 123 button if you only have numbers in the dynamic text box)...

better example available below:...

Well now that both methods work, i just wanted to ask if any method was better in terms of efficency or anything.

I'm guessing aman's method would be better just cause I wouldn't be creating extra...

I'm so confused in a good way that is :)

Both methods worked amazingly well... I love you guys and this board (alright don't take that the wrong way...)

Thanx a lot really really appreciate it....

I've been trying to do this for hours now, and haven't come up with any solution.

I have loaded variables from a text file eg. :
num_entries = 3
&entry1=hello
&entry2=bye
&entry3=goodnight
