I know this is an old post, but I found it in a search result and happen to know of a great resource for this exact task. James O'Reilly has written a great tutorial for Adobe on how to do just...

Hello all,

I've got an idea for a website that I want to make and I'm pondering my options on how and with what to build it with. As I imagine it, it's a site that will be populated with...

Yeah, like I said I think it's a flash player problem, not a "your code" problem.

Actually... I just tried the movie again and I can't get my text stuck anymore. I can always type in the...

Well, it sounds like one thing you will need is to use drag and drop functionality, so to get started with that, here's a pretty good tutorial from kirupa.com :...

Hi, anousht.

This one is a little more difficult that it seems it would be, but I fixed the file for you.

The problem was that you were treating your aboutMenu_MC as a button, and giving it...

I dug around livedocs and some other places for a bit to no avail =/ I've had this problem before, mostly when using other flash enabled websites. I usually solve the problem by just clicking on...

Hi Boywundr,

I know your frustration, I had a problem with this same sort of issue long ago. Your syntax is close to correct but not quite. Here is some example code:



_global.yPos = 0;
...

Also, on the gallery section, some of your pixel fonts aren't on a whole pixel, hence they're blurry. Make sure their x and y positions are set to an integer instead.

Hi Matt,

Rest easy, this one's simple - I know the feeling though, sometimes those are the hardest!

Your "contact" button has the instance name of "but3", but that's also the instance name of...

For a very simple solution, you could wrap the flash object inside the html file with <center> </center> tags, that would cause your flash to remain centered at all times.

There are other ways...

I was under the same impression 3P, but this new version must have changed something, it's so frustrating having to keep 3 different versions of these scripts now!

Okay, the first query from 3P still returned errors, but the last one from sstalder did actually work!!! I'm not sure if its because the back ticks are necessary, or if it was because I was...

Hi sstalder,

The code I've posted isn't the entire file, I'm able to connect without problems to the server and database, and I have the login details stored at the beginning of my script as...

Hi 3P,

Thanks a lot for the response! I'm still getting an error I'm afraid:


The last one is the one I'm really worried about. To get rid of the warnings I just changed the line as follows:...

Hi All,

I'm really about to lose it on this one. I have a set of scripts that retrieve and send data to a mySQL DB, and they work fine on my server, but on my client's server, they are not...

When a button is pressed to load a section, I have a function that turns that section's MC visible, and then I invalidate on the next line.

However, I have another problem with this, now it's...

Alright, I found several solutions, but only one worked for me.

One person suggested that the publishing format of both files must be alike, i.e., both flash player 8. However that didn't solve...

I'm having a problem that only presents itself to a client on a certain computer (his, of course). with the scrollpane component, the scrollbar isn't showing at all, just in MSIE. So I set the...

Have you tried the scrollpane component? You can bind it to a movie clip or .swf file to have that object scrolled.

I have a similar problem in that the scrollbar isn't showing at all, just for a certain client in MSIE. The difference is that mine never "fixes" itself in any situation. So I set the vertical...

Hello everyone,

I finished this site for a client, however he reports that it won't load for him in IE, however I've tested it on 4 different machines myself and it has worked on all those,...

Hmm, this is difficult to guess without seeing the file, but I'll give it a shot.

Your first method is the better method I think. The difference between multiple frame movie clips and mutliple...

Try this one and see if you can adapt the concepts for what you want to use.

Well then, you know he must be REALLY good! But seriously, sorry :( I knew I should've ran a search first

Andy Foulds is the guy who introduced me to flash and then in the next email when I asked him many bewildered questions, flashkit. That was right when flash 4 came out! He's a talented guy.
