I ended up looping through the children of the display object that 'holds' all my store items and testing to see if it's the one that I just clicked, if not, I go ahead and close the spec window.

Hi,

I have a custom class that's a store object.
I create multiple store objects to show the items in the store.

Well, the entire movie is loaded because I'm using a Loader.swf to load the movie first. Once it's all loaded, I start the app.

If I don't use the Loader.swf, it works fine, if I do, it doesn't....

Hi,

I have a MainMovie.fla in which I have several components in the library 'exported' for ActionScript.

Several custom classes reference these components.

You probably won't use PayPal with Flash directly. You'd use it with your server side script: Coldfusion, PHP, ASP, etc.

Although you might be able to make it work with URLVariables.

Here is something I learned from experience.

I had created a custom class and inside the class I have a method that starts a tween.

My tween would occasionally hang and it was really bugging...

I just figured it out.

In my main.swf, I dispatch a 'custom' event.
this.parent.dispatchEvent(new Event("SHOW_THIS"));

this.parent points to my loader object.

In my loader.swf, I add an...

Hi,

Just finished up this Flash site, and on my 3 computers at home, it works fine.

Hi,

I have an effect I'm trying to accomplish here.

Let's say in Layer 1, I have an image that is masked with a checkerboard type mask (with some boxes missing).

Hi,

It's sure nice to have tutorials on this site.

However, trying to read them is quite difficult because the width of the lines of text is too long. That's why newspaper columns are narrow,...

Ok, here is what I found out.

If I do a placeholder.loadMovie("http://127.0.0.1/flash/mymovie.swf");
the script doesn't work.

If however, I do a placeholder.loadMovie("mymovie.swf");

Ok, I got it to work fine with my 'test clips', but I'm having trouble in my main movie.

In my main movie, I use an attachMovie() to attach a preloader movie and load an external .swf file.

In...

I've tried that, but it doesn't work.

It seems as though it should work fine, but it doesn't. I'm in MX.

Here is my code:

Hi,

However, I'm needing to know when this...

I'm using the loadVariables("URL","MC","POST");

Thanks for your suggestions.

I was actually referring to the new functionality in FMX, I've only been able to dynamically load .swf's into Flash 5.

So you'd have to convert your .jpg's into .swf's first until FMX is available!

Just wondering if you can dynamically load video into a Flash movie like you can load in .jpgs now and .swfs too.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a rather large movie that I am wanting to use a pre-loader on.

I have two scenes. The first one is my loader, the second is my main movie.

There isn't much to my preloader, but...

Ok, I know what you mean.

What exactly are you using for your CGI?

You'll have to have some sort of email CGI that can send an email.

I know Cold Fusion can, ASP can, but you have to have...

You have the idea here:

What you need to do is create a mc with dynamic textfields. Name them aim_sn and im_content respectively.

Then,...
