Great. Now I know why everybody's all up in arms about the mac flash plugin. Thanks

I just tested my site on a mac with IE and it looks like transparency is not supported. Instead of changing the background colors in all my flash movies, I just set them to transparent (with the...

Maybe this is a dumb question (maybe not). How do you do make a table that goes from the top of a browser to the bottom? You can't just say <td height="100%">. I'm assuming it requires some...

I probably wouldn't be much help here because I try to avoid using load/unload when possible. I have the same problems - never seems to go where it's supposed to. Maybe I should figure it out :)

(I also answered this in the original post)
Start with a new movie clip and insert your button into it. Insert a keyframe at frame 2 so you now have two indentical frames. Put a stop action in both...

Yeah, it's not too hard. Basically, the "button" is a movie clip with two identical looking frames with the play/stop button inside it.

Start with a new movie clip and insert your button into it....

Cool. I guess it's my computer. Thanks for the help.

Paste the code from your button into here so I can see it. Or you can send me the FLA if you want.

Just remember, you have to name the instance, not the symbol. You might have a symbol called "nextButton" in your library. You have to put it in your movie, highlight it and give the instance a...

One way to not worry so much about levels is to name the instance of an object and call it by that name. Then you can just use the dot syntax anywhere in the movie. If you name the instance of a...

The company that makes it is called Erain.

I'm just looking for some people to test this (and you get to see my super cool site!). What I don't understand is why the scrolling slows waaaaay down on my text boxes if more than one is open. ...

Sorry, I guess I was doing something stupid. I just tried it for the hundredth time and it worked. Dunno what I was doing wrong before...

Whenever I try to do a getURL as a relative path, it doesn't work. I can't use ../file/popup.html. I have to do this:

on (release) {

Yep, you definitely want motion tween. Even though it seems like it should be a shape tween, it's not. Shape tweening is used only when you're specifically moving points around and actually...

Is there a way to duplicate a symbol and tell Flash to make a new copy of everything contained within it?

This may not be so much a technical question as much as conceptual. Let's say you make a...

I want to be able to use the getURL command to open a new browser window but I want to use the JavaScript window.open command to control its size and attributes. Anybody know how to do this?

Or,...

Not sure what you mean... I don't want the main movie to *load* the secondary one, I want it to pre-load it.

Without using scenes, I want to know if there's a Flash command, something like...

Can you preload an SWF file? I know how to make a preloader "scene" before the main scene but can you tell flash to start loading an external SWF?

This might not be what you want to hear but I know you can in Flash MX. It's got a lot of new audio features. Maybe someone can figure out some clever way to do it in Flash 5.

If you're wondering what sounds good, here's a general idea. 128Kbps is supposedly "CD quality" (not really, but a non audiophile might not be able to tell). If you've listened to streamed MP3's on...

I'm making one of the increasingly popular flash MP3 players (with the help of SwiftMP3). Does anybody know what the highest MP3 bitrate is you can use and still have decent performance on a 56K...

In the last frame of your "rest" animation have a condition statement that says something like if LinkClicked=false, then proceed. Every time it gets to the end of it's loop, it checks to see if any...

I have a movie clip on the main stage. Within that clip, I load an SWF file (the SWF is sound-only, generated by SwiftMP3 if that matters). If I load the SWF into *any* level, it overwrites the...

I understand that Swift converts MP3's to SWF's, but do you need it after that in order to make a jukebox player? Assuming that I use it to convert all my MP3's, do I actually need the program on my...
