Help Wanted
I need some answers for some questions. Hopefully someone out there can help me.

Let's Begin:

Question:

1) How do you make the final product (swf, exe) full screen and overlapping the task bar?

2) How do you print what is currently being viewed on the screen becuase I'd like to put a print button?

3) Can you print something that is not currently on the stage? For example, if you have a movie clip out of view.

That's It

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Something Ive Always Wanted To Know
Hey guys,
This is something Ive always wanted to know. It may be a little stupid but here goes anyway.....When you are creating a navigation bar, every button with the same animation, do you just duplicate the main button to use for all the buttons? Do you just duplicate them in the library and rename them? Does this make sense?

Hey, I Just Wanted To Say Thanks
Hi all. No questions.. I just wanted to publicly say Thank You to all the Moderators and those of you that lurk around and help answer questions for the Newbies.
You guys are the reason I keep visiting Flash Kit. (granted I think I've only asked a question once and it was because my boss was arguing with me over what you can an can not do with actionscript) But it's the community here that makes this place one of the best Flash Sites out there. You can always judge a society on how they treat the "young". Needless to say, "woo."
I pimp FK out to all my friends.
Keep it up.. and thanks again.

I'm not sure if this is in the right part of the boards, so if it's not, please feel free to move it.

I did check with the admin, and i have permission to post this.

Anyways, i run a mod team, and we're building a site in flash. My flash guy is kinda stumped, and could use a bit of help. So i'm curious if there's anyone here who'd be willing to join the team, and help out with flash stuff


at this time, i'd like to make sure it's plainly understood that we are a FREE mod team, and that this is NOT a paying job. NO money is changing hands here.

so if you have skills, and feel like showing off, shoot me a PM, and we'll see what's up.

Hi,

I would like to make a 3d sphere with buildings and store for example.
The 3d sphere would rotate depending on the mouse movements and if any building has been clicked, it would do something or anything
Has anyone tried it yet?

Here's what I have so far:

Hello everybody. I was wondering if anybody would be
able to lend me a hand on this website im working on.
the current url for it right now is:

www.fantasticfantasymm.com/CovalierBranded

Click on the link on the left side stripe that says
"The Brand". Im trying to build an e-store inside of
flash with all the validation and data processing
taking place inside this one window. If you take time
to go thru all the sections, you can pretty much make
out whats what. I designed and built the site by
myself from scratch. The entire site is good except
for this one section, i need some serious programming
expertise to get it functional and complete. Im
guessing we would be using actionscript, PHP, and
MySQL to make it work. As this is one of my own
projects, i have no budget of any kind to pay anyone in
cash for their work....so i was wondering if there was
any way for me to barter with anyone compentent enough or something to that
effect to complete this job? Please let me know if I have any intereseted
collaborators on my hands. Thanks

Help Wanted
I got an idea from one of the animations from the great Andrieas Odendall, here on the site. His 3D with Z-sorting sparked an idea that I would like to implement into mine own website.

But, I am still just a web basic user. I have created flash animations and done some minor flash scripting and even so far as copy pasted a phpbb board into my site. So, you can tell [sarcasm] that I am a very high level user [/sarcasm].

Here is the general idea that I have:

I want to take the idea of the spheres rotating around an axis and link it to a multi level database. This means that the number of spheres on any given level would be dynamic based on the number of items listed in that level of the database. Now the database and information in it could be almost anything, but for an easy example I have chosen the idea of entertainment. For example:

Think of it as a drill down session. The top layer is might be a list of categories (books, movies, CDs, etc..)
Say I click on the sphere-link for "movies", then I would have an animation happen to where the other spheres shrink away and the movies sphere changes into the axis and a new set of spheres comes out of it based on the number of items inside of that level of the database, in this case it could be style genre (action, suspense, comedy, etc...)
Again, I could click on one, say "action", we could recall the animation that shrinks the other spheres and changes the chosen sphere into the new axis, and new spheres appear for further clicking (it could be either the leaf node with the movie titles, or it could be further branches involving search by actor, title, year, etc..)...
Anyway, you get the idea.
Well, whenever the leaf nodes are finally reached and clicked, they would link to a different animation that would show a picture and possible other collected information from the database related to the item clicked on.

I need the database and related info to be based on PHP and MySQL because that is what I have for my hosted web space.

So, I am wondering if any one or more than one person would be willing to help me make this and at what kind of cost...

I sent an email thru to Mr Odendaal's website of Wireframe some time ago, but have not heard back from him yet, that is why i have opened it up to people here.



Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

Tell Target Help Wanted

0
1
2

if 0 is pressed i would like 1 + 2 to be out of sight. If 1 is pressed 0 + 2 out of sight etc. I tried setting property to visibility=false and nothing is working.

Any help would be appreciated in this matter.

Could A Mac Tell You The Time Of Day, Even If It Wanted To?
That subject may piss a few people off. But I'm being serious!

I once made a very elaborate javascript which retrieved the date, and then used location.href to load a file specific to the day. When I showed a Mac user the site, it kept failing. I attributed this to the fact that Macs don't know what time of day it is.

Now, I went looking thru the Actionscript Dictionary to work something out, and came across the Date object. It reads:

Quote:




The Date object allows you to retrieve date and time values relative to universal time (Greenwich Mean Time, now called Universal Coordinated Time) or relative to the operating system on which the Flash Player is running.




This instantly suggested that this object be useless on the Mac that I ran the script off that other time.

Can anyone proove me wrong? Could a Mac tell you the time of day, even if it wanted to?

(The mac in question was a little laptop.. nothing special, but only 12 months old.)

Programmer Wanted
Hello,

I am going to make this as descriptive as possible so you have a real idea what it is I am looking for. I run a website, www.flashstand.com, it has had an arcade for about 4 months now, but it is in no way up to par (closed now). It was full of pac-man and space invader games, that no one wanted to play due to horrible lack of intrest. Our website recieves on average about 2000 unique hits a day (our post count was restarted a week ago and we already have 5,000 with no spam). All of the current staff is working hard to upgrade and make our site better in every way possible, but for the arcade, we need some help. We are looking for ONE person who can follow through with the following credentials:

1. Is on almost daily and eager to help.
2. Has a good attitude.
3. Has been working with actionscript for 1+ years.
4. Has access to Flash MX 2004 (exceptions may apply).
5. Has either AIM or IRC. (www.aim.com, www.mirc.com)

If you fit those credentials and want to help, you will be doing the following:

1. Interpretating our game ideas into a playable game.
2. Using our artists art to make the game.
3. Program the game via actionscript and make it a playable game.
4. There will be a 2 week deadline per game. (This will change for complex games, but this deadline applies to simple games like "Catch the apple and feed it to the monster in 60 sec.")

If you are interested you can contact us through:

AIM: brcolow3 or ThaWeasel1337
E-mail: brcolow@flashstand.com
IRC: irc.gamesnet.net #flashstand

Thank you and we look foward to working with you!

Preloader Help Wanted
I have a button in my main swf file that calls for a 2nd swf file to load into an empty mc (called holder). the code i'm using is:

on (release) {
loadMovie ("2nd.swf", "_root.holder");
}


pretty basic so far....
ok, the 2nd.swf file has a preloader which i know works...BUT it does not work when i try to load it via the button in the main.swf file. the preloader script seems to get ignored and the file just loads normally (without showing the preloader).

if i use level 1 (instead of targeting) it works ok but i need to place the 2nd.swf file onto a specific spot in the main.swf file, hence the reason for using targeting.

if you've understood all that , can anyone help???

I am a Database developer, with particular experience in SQL Server, and Visual Studio.Net. I need to know whether it would be viable using Flash, to create a dynamic and graphical "Team Selection" application, whereby a number of users would be loaded from a sql database, into a list within the application, from which using a drag-drop mechanism, they can be dropped into pre-defined locations on a grphical organisation chart. I know this i vague, but am just trying to get an overview of what I could achieve using Flash. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Please Help Wanted For My Website Please
Hello everyone this is my first post here and i am here after help i own dreamweaver mx that was given to me a few years ago so i decided to play around with it and built my very first website its a dog bereavement website that helps so many people when there dog dies.
When it comes to building websites i will openly admit i am a complete armature but enjoy what i do and even more with the know that my website is helping people in there bereavement.
I also fully understand there are lots wrong with my website that you guys can probably notice straight away.
My visitors are growing daily and i need to ask this forum for help.
Please can i ask anyone to do a standard flash animated page for me in flash its just a poem called Rainbow Bridge its helps so many people when they are in bereavement with the loss of there pet.
This is the FLASH animation i did my self of the poem but very poorly done the text is below the animation.
Please excuse my own flash animation but this is why i am here for help.
The poem helps so many people when they are in bereavement.
If anyone can do a flash animation with this text inserted could i ask for a full screen animation page with a black background colour and if possible a few dogs pictures appearing and maybe an image of a rainbow and a few sounds and maybe some soothing music.
THIS is my website.
Here is a ANIMATED FLASH page that i found on the net that is almost the same as i wnt

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Emma

I will fully understand if i get no response to this post as flash does take a long time to do.
