Does anyone know if FlashForward 2002 will be held in New York City in addition to the San Francisco seminars?

That's fine and dandy, but if you don't know that "link" is in there, how can you access the values of attributes? I asked a question earlier about this. If attributes is an array, as defined by...

If I do not know the names of an element's attributes, can I extract their values by using ".attributes"?
This is what I have been trying:
loop=0;
endLoop=myXML.elementNode.attributes.length;
do{...

why don't you use a script file include? Add this to your HTML:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="cookieCode.js"></SCRIPT>

And make a text file, copy your code to the file and save it as...

I think tonypa said it won't work over the net earlier in the thread. Still, I recommend checking out server-side scripting to make your site dynamic.

I see, so it can be used as a development tool...

It appears to me that that example site uses loadMovie.
You can load a movie to a target, thus keeping your main interface on the screen and be able to target your loaded movie more easily than if...

wow, never knew that. But what purpose does it serve? I don't see any useful applicaton of using:
FS Command("save","filename");

I was in the same position you were a year ago. Flash can read txt file data but cannot write data to a file without some kind of server-side script.

I just checked out that portfolio site you were taking about. It looks like buttons were placed over top to the 3D graphic. I mean, you can't rotate the thing so you can't tell if the buttons are...

keep on "!!TRY-N!!" FALCONS FAN...
I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
To get those mouse coordinates, you need a movie clip that loops constantly, "grabb-n" the property of a hidden movieclip...

ASP is like CGI or CFM (ColdFusion). ASP is Acitve Server Page, another server-side scripting thing. You have to use a scripting language like ASP or ColdFusion or CGI to write data to a text file....

A server-side script is a script files that resides on your server. This script can do stuff like get information from a database, perform a search or whatever. Then the script sends output. Flash...

Um, maybe if you could be a bit more specific then someone could help you.

If you want to load images into a Flash movie you first have to make SWF files for the images you want to load in. It's pretty simple, just create a new FLA file, use the import option, and bring in...

CGI files are server side scripts that can dynamically generate the string of variables for Flash to suck in. If you want a static website, by all means load your data from a TXT file. CGI scripts...

not to be repetitive, but I do not think you can load Java in Flash. You can call a Javascript function residing in the HTML file that your Flash movie is embedded in. To do thi use the getURL...

are you using a plus sign, "+", or are you using "add"?
What level did you load the variables into? If you load to level 0, you can reference your variable any where in the same level by using "/:"...

hey, if you are sending alot of data to Flash, make sure it's fed in as one long nasty line (especially useful when returning record sets):
-----------------------------------------------------...

just in case you ever run into this problem while developing, remember to load your data through your webserver and not from the file itself. I was trying to load a coldfusion page that was not...

it's an applet.

i see your observation skills are quite acute.

hey, Flash 4 can import .mov files, but realize that the movie will be imported frame by frame. You can't just have it as an "object". For movies and flash animation support check out SMIL (I used...
