Does anyone know how to send a cookie from a movie clip in Flash 5. Preferrably, the cookie should be written in ASP, because that's the language I'm familiar with. If not, please provide step by...

Flash 5's timeline is entirely different from Flash 4. You can still do those things, but with different shortcuts etc. If you want Flash 4-style timeline and selection, under Edit>Preferences, you...

Now I understand. You were trying to populate the text field from within Flash 5. I use external .txt files so I don't run into this problem.

But it makes entire sense that you'd have to set the...

What exactly is the problem. It works fine for me. I use many HTML tags including ones that aren't explicitely supported in the Flash 5 Documentation without any trouble and all of my HTML-tagged...

SFabian,

I've translated my scroll boxes from Flash 4 to Flash 5 with no problem. I now use HTML in dynamic text boxes. I did not change any of the actionscript between the two versions, I only...

I agree! The new GUI is too busy. I'm not for Microsoft, but their GUI's are much more user friendly.
I prefer toolbars over palettes. They're less intrusive!

I've already advised my users that my site will be going Flash 5 and they would need to download the new player. So far they have complied. For those who aren't regular users or have just come up on...

Instead of placing an exact url in the Get Url command, you can place a variable and have the frame that the button is in load the remote text file with the current url. I use this on my site and it...

Hi, Steelwind!

I found this method on another forum. I haven't tried it yet, but here it is:

Hello Guys!

I've put the http:// in and it worked fine for me. Though I tried to manually put in the target tag and discovered that if you put quotes around the url, Flash 5 cannot read it. Also...

If you read the help section of Flash 5 you will note that although the telltarget *is* still supported, they recommend against using it since Flash 5 has gone to an object oriented scripting...

You have to know HTML syntax in order for you to specify the target of the link. <a href="http://www.thewrittenpage.com">The Written Page</a> is the standard HTML for a link associated with the text...

I'm in agreement. I use both Adobe and Macromedia products (though Macromedia is my favorite) and I do not like the palette GUI in either product line. I feel that it does take up a lot screen real...

You can put the target tag inside the <a href> tag and it works. For example, you can put <a href="http://www.thewrittenpage.com" target="_blank">The Written Page</a>.
It works. I'm experimenting...

Hi, Matt!

Figured it out! The right margin under the paragraph palette must be set to a minimum of 10 pts. If it's set to 0, that's when it gets cut off. This differs from Flash 4, because if you...

Thanks Matt! That works! Only with the <p align="right"> tag, the text gets cut off. I'm not sure if that's a bug or intentional. Let me know if you find that answer and if it's a bug, where I can...

Thanks Matt for your help. I had already checked out the help page and that's how I knew what tags Flash 5 supported. I love Flash 5, but wish I could have more control over the way text is...

I'm loading remote .txt files w/ HTML formatting into Flash 5 and everything seems to work except the text alignment. I've tried aligning the text with the paragraph palette in Flash 5, but Flash 5...

Although, I personally don't like the palette style interface, I'm still anxiously awaiting the arrival of Flash 5. I much prefer the Microsoft-style user interface, because it allows you to...

It doesn't on my site at http://www.thewrittenpage.com. I wonder if it's my browser or something else?

Can someone tell me how to set up Flash forms so that when a person presses the <TAB> key, they move to the next field in the form, similar to HTML forms. Thanks!

I'm having trouble with Flash 5 Player Beta! My site depends upon text fields that load their text from external .txt files. Now that I've installed the Flash 5 Player, all the text begins in the far...

If you're loading from a text file you can put a %0A where you want a line break but no double space. Run the two lines together with %0A in the middle. By the way that's a zero not an oh.

Ok, Folks! I'm new to actionscripting and new to asp, but not new to Flash. I have an asp page that will set a cooking and I have Flash reading the cookie, but I cannot get Flash to set the cookie...
