Hi,

I still can't see why you are trying to do it this way.

It won't work that way as you are trapping the mouse press of the whole movieclip that contains the textbox, so you will never be...

Hi,

It seems like quite a complicated way of enabling a movieclip to be dragged.

Have you considered:

Adding a drag bar to the movieclip and using _parent.startDrag();

Or if you have to...

Hi,

It's quite difficult to see what you are trying to do, but what is _root.entire_movie ???? A movie clip I presume?

Your code is very wrong around this line.

The * character is used for...

Hi,

Don't know about the Access problem I'm afraid - try the MSDN site!

You could try logging in as 'administrator' and leaving the password blank if you don't know it and it hasn't been set.
...

Don't think so, but it sounds cool anyway.

Take my email 'dan@technomedia.co.uk' and mail me if you need to.

Hi,

In addition to the UI components and UI components set 2, Macromedia have produced the Flash Charting Components. These and more (including 2 of my own), are available at the Flash Exchange on...

Hi,

You can configure users on windows in the control panel under user and settings, however if you aren't logged on with admin rights, I don't know if you will be able to do anything.

I'm...

Hi,

Without sitting at your PC it's rather difficult to advise.

I don't use XP, I use 2000, but it sounds like you don't have admin access to your PC. What you need to do is ensure your user...

Hi,

To change ownership of files I use Telnet, however I don't imagine you will have Telnet access with a basic hosting company. You may be able to do this via ftp, by using CHMOD and changing the...

Hi,

I dont use CF or ASP, but here's how it's done in PHP:



header("Location: http://www.example.com/");


simply stick that line of code (changing the url to yours) between php tags (i...

Hi,

I dont use CFMX, however I imagine your data comes into flash in a urlencoded format.

Try using the split function.

Here's an example:

Hi,

This sounds more like an ownership issue.

Because the files that were created on your '98 machine give you a 550 error, yet ones created on your 'XP machine don't, it sounds like you no...

Hi,

unless you use the full doc path, the file has to be relative to the movie.

to overcome your problem why not use getURL with a script (PHP, ASP, CF) that is relative to the movie, and...

toeny,

If the last post confuses you, don't worry - it confused me and I've created quite a few graph functions.

Hi,

You need to use JavaScript to open the new browser window in the state you require.

Or you can use my fBrowserWindow component which allows you easy opening of sized, centered and...

Hi,

yes it works fine, so you are probably missing a step.

Without knowing how you have tried to use the component, and exactly what doesn't work, I can't advise you as to where you are going...

Hi,

If you have MX, you can get the charting component from the MM exchange.

If you don't have MX it is still possible, but a little bit too involved to write into a thread.

Which bit are...

Hi,

You would only want the preloader to play when the movie hasn't loaded, so before your preloader starts you need something like this:




if (_root.getBytesLoaded() ==...

Hi,

You need to use substr or substring, to extract the characters you want.

Here's an example:



myVar = "ABC-123";
start = myVar.substr(0,3);

Hi there,

It sounds as though, either your variable isn't being loaded into your movie, or you are loading it into somewhere other than root, and are trying to reference it incorrectly.

I would...

Hi,

MX components contain script that Flash 5 doesn't understand, so only use MX components in movies that are to be exported in Flash 6 Player format.

Hope this helps,

Dan.

Hi,

The file extension is .sol

The location will depend on your system.

On W2000 it is c:\documents and settings\user\application data\macrromedia\flash player\website\movie\

However,...

Hi,

This can't be done with MX alone.

If your movie is to be played over the internet, you can use a server side scripting language (PHP, ASP, Perl etc) to do this pretty easily.

Hi,

I've just completed my second MX component - the fDataSet component.

It acts as a recordset for flash, enabling easy loading, displaying and navigating through multi-dimensional database...

Hi,

it looks like you're not using it properly.

Let's say you read the html text into a var called inputHTML and you want it to display in a TextField call myText, you would set the text field...
