    Transfering files...

    This doesn't have a lot to do with KoolMoves, but, since some people know me, it's best posted here.

    I need a way to transfer the flash 7 plug-in to the other comp, because the other computer doesn't have it. I also want to be able to use all the neat KM stuff, like motionscript and ActionScript(codes like lineStyle(), moveTo(),and lineTo())

    But the thing is, it seems impossible. It's like a riddle.



    THIS COMP....
    can write files to floppy disk
    can NOT write files to CD(even though it says "re-writable" on one of the drives.)
    Has internet

    Other COMP...
    doesn't have a floppy disk drive
    doesn't have internet
    can write files to cd(but that doesn't help"


    so, is there anyway in the world they can send files to eachother?

    I would try to see why your rewritable drive doesn't write. Might be as simple as installing a new driver for it.

    Do they have USB ports? You could always use the USB things. Also, there is one way where you can connect 2 computers together, but I don't know how to do it, I just saw it on TV.

    Yes, just like all computers I have USB ports, but you see, My dad moved the other computer upstair to make it more convinient for him, and I'm gonna need a pretty big USB wire for that.

    i have used an mp3 player for transfering data files.

    For less than 100 dollars you could use wireless.
    Any programming language is at its best before it is implemented and used.

    USB memory cards are nice. I bought a 128MB card at COMP USA for $20. I think WIN98 has problems with these cards though and you have to do some kind of update to make it work.

    That might be sticky if he is using the other comp as a single net connection without a router and switch. I'd spend 45$ on two "Edimax" wifi pci slots and have a permanent internet connection for both computers. I've seen old model "Edimax" 802.11B models going for 15€ each and in general the states are a lot cheaper than Spain, but even then, the 802.11G models are selling for about 22€ and running at 54 megas instead of 11.
