put a "ball" mc on the stage.




for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
ball.duplicateMovieClip("ball" + i, i);
_root["ball"+i]._x = i * 25;
_root["ball"+i]._y = 10 * i;
_root["ball"+i]._alpha =...

... because .load doesn't happen instantly since it is calling the server.

You need to use onLoad() { if (success) ...

onLoad will wait until your data loads.

Newbie myself but I'm thinking you could just do

geturl("counter.pl",_self);

and then in your flash have a dynamic text field countnew (or is it $countnew?);

Worth a shot,

Mark

Thanks pellepiano but I tried that. Then I can see swf1 below swf2 and it looks bad.

Plus the problem still remains - no dynamic text in swf2.

I'm thinking my problem is this:

In swf2 I am...

I have two swf's: swf1 and swf2.

I tried

loadmovienum("swf2.swf",0);

to change from swf1 to swf2 when button is clicked.

It works fine in preview when I do control -> test movie.

Is it useful to do a loadmovienum("mymovie.swf",1) to load a movie into a template sitting in root?



Next: Can I interact with mymovie.swf from (a button in) _root? How?

Finally: Is...

Should these be the same?


loadmovienum("tween.swf",1);

and

_level1.loadMovie ("tween.swf");

No expert here but ...

I would suggest breaking down your problem further.

Test the checkForm in isolation;

Test the sendForm in isolation;

Then you will know which part is giving you...

If you want a textfied in your dupe, just code it into the dupe directly.

_root.clip2.createTextField("TF", 3, 10, 10, 100, 100);

Don't code the text field into the original MC and then try to...

The duplicateMovieClip is redundant here. If you want to copy the MC, you need to use createEmptyMovieClip again - in a loop, if many are needed.

duplicateMovieClip copies what is on the stage...

In need of one of the heavyweights ...

Mark

Beats me ... anyone know? The line is duped but the text not.



createEmptyMovieClip("clip1", 0);
clip1.lineStyle(1, 0x4E0053, 100);
clip1.lineTo(10, 10);
clip1.createTextField("TF", 2,...

My eyes must be diabolical. Or my Flash skills.

Thanks for correcting it,

Mark

Antibody,

The onrollover works, but not the onrollout (below). I cannot fix it no matter what.

forward.onRollOut = function (){
root.reverseMe (_root.scroller, "stop");
};

If I say this...

Tyard et al.,

I thought the code you posted could go inside the movie clip to improve it: So I stuck the button ("forward") in the clip on its own layer and put this in frame 1 of scroller



...

Took me till now to spot the difference.

Clue - it's just one "_" for all the others with bandy eyes like me,

Mark

Works like a charm.

I like this way better since the actions are all in one place. And, you don't need no superfluous mt clip.

Thanks a mill, Tyard.

Mark

Tyard et al.,

Thanks for the post - but now I can't get it to work.

I pasted all your code above in frame 1 of root.

I have scroller mc with its tween animation.

I got rid of the mt clip.

Great! post Antibody, thanks, alot.

Just one thing I'd like help with. This part:


onClipEvent (load) {
stop();
}

... which is attatched to the scroller.

Deniel,

You could use Flash MX's equivalent of a cookie:

Thanks for a most illuminating and helpful post, Mirandir.

That depth/level had been confusing to me for ions,

Mark

1)

sf = new FStyleFormat();
sf.face = 0x00ff00;
sf.addListener(componentName);

2)

componentName.setStyleProperty("face", 0x00ff00);

_root.createTextField("myTextField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
myTextField.wordWrap = true;
for (i=1; i<=50; ++i) {
myTextField.text += i+". Some more text, ";
}
myScrollBar._x = myTextField._width;...

I think below's what you want,

MM



function createLabels(labels, startX, startY, fieldWidth, fieldHeight, verticalY) {
var level = 3;
for (i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
verticalY1...
