Oops. I`d cocked up my search string in the registry. For anyone interested, registry entries pertaining to MySQL are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.

Hi

Perhaps very elementary, but I`m stumped...I need to alter the path to the executable for MySql in XP Services. I`ve been running MySql from an external USB drive, but now I`d prefer to run it...

Hi

In the textbox property inspector, you should be able to change the variable with which the textbox is associated in each keyframe, so that on frame 1 the variable is "rock.t_001", frame 2 its...

If you can avert your eyes from the shoddy AS coding, then have a look through the attached files. The main things to note are...

- User input in the textfields defines the variables "name",...

Sure.
Check out http://www.phpforflash.com

The site`s an adjunct to the book, but in itself is a working example of what can be done with Flash/PHP/MySQL. Also check out www.devshed.com ,...

He-he. Oldnewbie`s right of course. In your case, bobjen, the co-ords would be x = 380, y = 200, I think.

But I reckon it`s a good and ultimately time-saving discipline to have your swfs trimmed...

Hi Jennifer

It sounds like your allnomusic.swf has its registration point in its centre, as opposed to the top left corner, so that when the swf loads, its centre is aligned with 0x,0y of level1 -...

Hi bobjen

It`s all about registration points, but your problem`s easier to resolve by illustration, so check out this thread...

Hi

I`ve installed php and apache on my laptop and use this setup to test flash/php scripts locally. Installation of php was straightforward enough for me, but I don`t know how much hassle...

Hi Matix.

Do you have access to a server that runs PHP? If so, then I can post up a simple message board that I made in Flash, along with the relevant PHP scripts. No databases involved, it just...

Hi Cybercow

Dunno about W2K servers, but on my remote (apache) server, I`d never try and use absolute addressing, always relative. Personally, I don`t see any reason that your first code shouldn`t...

If you click on "character" in the property inspector for your text box then you`ll be presented with the embed font options. But that theory was a long shot, so take a look at the attachment which I...

Bah! Can`t upload swf format, so here`s the fla.

Hi Brodsta

There`s a good way to eliminate the trial and error aspects of this problem: remember that Flash will align the registration point of your loaded swf with the registration point of the...

It`s only simple when you know how;)

Create an empty MC on the root timeline (called, for example, "movie"), and position it where you would like within the scene. Remember and name the instance,...

D`oh. Just got it. A button with this code should do it...

on(press){
hold.gotoAndPlay(hold._currentframe-20);
}

No?
Cheers

Assuming that you`re addressing things properly, then all that I can suggest is that you embed the fonts of your dynamic textfield. Having it nested within a MC means that any effects applied to the...

Yeah, I had a problem with a script so I`m going to forsake Flash, computers, dammit technology, and revert to a couple of polystyrene cups linked together by a bit of string in order to communicate....

If you`re in the UK, then try www.freeola.com who provide unlimited webspace, bandwidth, php support (not sure about mySQL) and email, and no ads of any kind! Too good to be true? Well the reason you...

f4 works for me, but also window-->movie explorer...

Andrea

Sure, I`ll post a new thread in the Scripting/Backend forum, and a fresh one in the PhpforFlash forum later.

By the way, hit f4 in Flash to bring up the movie explorer, which shows you...

Hey Andrea!

Seeing as you`re in such a good mood, can you check out my post on the PHPforFlash forum, where I`m stuck with that chapter one problem (the download registration form). Seems everyone...

Does anyone read the manual anymore? I think a lot of the problems in moving from 5 to MX are caused by users assuming that everything is going to be the same (what would be the point of that?), and...

Uncle Peter just got the sack! You `ll have to change the family album ;)

Cheers

One way I`ve used in the past is to have a button activate the transition movie clip and simultaneously set a variable (whichMovie), and then have the transition itself call the relevant movie...
