Ok, I know this has been probably beat to death (40 pages of posts, uh.....yeah). Here's my thoughts on 2A's newest, short and sweet.

1) Absolutely hate the buttons. Very cheap rollover anims. Not...

the "P" tag doesn't really need a "closer", but I tried it anyway and it didn't work. However, what I thought was amusing was that just hitting ENTER in the txt file did the trick. Go figure...! lol...

I think for some reason, the font I was using wasn't coming up. Also, you didn't have the "selectable" text mode turned on. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Also, I tried to use the...

I did that, the HTML tags STILL won't show up. The text that doesn't have any tags applied to them show up though. Damn.....

Flash simply won't let me use HTML tags. I know there's an issue...

All I want to do (and the reason for the really simple "test" fla) is to apply formatting to text that is imported from an external TXT file. This is what I can't get going. The text is imported ok,...

Just a dynamic text box on the main stage. Here's a resend. This text field has a border around it.

Here's my sample FLA with the external Text file.

Font's embedded....YES
Using loadVariables()

Here's the link to the FLA....thanks for the quick response!

I have a .txt file that is outside my swf and loaded dynamically using a variable name. All is up and running and works fine. The only problem is that when I try to enable HTML formatting in the...

I'm a huge fan of the Flash MX Bible.

Also, for Actionscript, Collin Moock's book is the best out there.

My $0.02

I bought my version of Studio MX online as well and downloaded the installers. However, they also sent me a Studio MX manual and a disc that contained Studio MX (all I didn't get was the fancy box!...

no, I know how to do that and why. That's not what I want to do. I can't do what I want so it doesn't matter. Thanks for the help anyway.

What I mean is that in Photoshop, you can use the Lasso tool the select something in a bitmap. For instance, if you have a flower surrounded by trees and you wanted to use the Lasso tool to carefully...

In Flash MX, is there any way to save a selection to use later like you can in Photoshop? For instance, if you carefully trace something as a selection and then want to use that selection later

Actually, I thought it was fairly easy to find. The words "ENTER FLASH SITE" or "ENTER HTML SITE" I thought were reasonably descriptive, although I could be wrong.

For the record, for the...

Thanks for the nice comments. That really means a lot to me, especially from the users of THIS site! As you see, the site is still a work in progress. I've put a lot into this one. It's my very first...

Here's a site that's still a work in progress. I can take any and all criticism. The one issue I've been having is that the site slows down on some computers due to a drop in the frame rate (even...

I know this has been probably asked too much already, but I haven't been able to find anything concerning this....

I want a pause button to pause the playback of an externally loaded mp3 (e.g. a...

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

ok, nice advice, but that has nothing to do with it.

Fully preloaded movie....so not an issue. We're talking frame rate here and its perfomance on many different computers with varying processor,...

I viewed my site on a many different computers and on some, the animation is really slowed. Obviously, the computer in question is having problems with the frame rate of the animation. But when I...

haha....I totally agree. By the way, I never fell for that monkey thing! lol

The ads themselves are nicely done in Flash, I just don't like the idea of an "animated" popup window or ad. The standard popups are annoying enough, now, through Flash, they are animated with no...

I don't like the noCache method and I just rename each scene (e.g. swf) file everytime I update them. That way, there's no confusion over people who are seeing the updates and those who don't because...

The freakin' "=" sign!! Thanks very much, I knew it was something simple!

That's the exact code I already have, and it's not working.
