Flash > DOS Emulator
I want to make a prompt (like in DOS). My question is this:

I already have the blinking underscore I am going to use as my prompt. It's saved as an mc: "blinker" is its name.

How can I set the mc at the end of the text? I want it to always be at the end of the text.

I.E. - if I have it say

C:>randtext

I want there to be a blinking prompt underscore at the end of the input string.

C:>randtext_

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Movie Emulator
Hello All,

I'm a newbie to flash. I am interested in Action script.
I have written a php script that emulates webtv using jpg files. (http://live.goenkar.com).

I was hoping I could use flash and a fadein/fade-out effect to make it look like motion tv. Jpg's are 15k (approx.) and there is a new jpg available every second. There are thousands of jpg files at the server and a php script returns the correct jpg file for that second in time.

What I need is for flash to continuously (every 1/2 seconds) call a php page which will return the url to the latest jpg to load. And once the jpg has completed loading, the latest filename read will load.
This process will emulate streaming media.

Can anyone direct me on what I need to do to get the above working and links to fla's that I could reuse/modify. I'm an advanced php coder but have no idea as yet about action scripting.

Thanks.

Is It Possible? A Working Emulator In Flash?
I am really interested in getting views regarding making a fully functional emulator in flash? I am not totally convinced that it is possible but I have been thinking about if it would be possible to make a fully capable emulator in Flash.

I have very little knowledge of emulation but understand many of the internal processes that are used when making an emulator. The speed restrictions of flash would abviously limit the speed of any kind of emulation created in Flash but I was wondering if it would be possible to load in a "ROM" using the #include feature of flash! I'm not sure how this data is handled by flash and if it is checked for hex/bin/raw style data or whatever it would be? For example would Flash allow something like: #include mario.gb

or if it will only accept an *.as ending would a rom be able to be renamed to mario.as and then included? Obviously sound would not be able to be emulated but I would like everyone to post thier thoughts on whether this would be possible?

Please don't post negative rubbish telling me about the speed restrictions of Flash, I'm very aware of this, I thought this would just be an amusing little project to work with!

Application Simulation/Emulator
Hello all.

I have a question about how to create a flash simulation of a program. Basically I have a program at work that i want to make a flash simulation out of, i.e. you click on a button, it takes you to the next screen, etc... i want the user to be able to see the interface as you would if you actually had the program running. if they hit the ok button, it would take them back to the page they came from, or if they hit a reports button, the box would pop up with a choice of reports to view. does that make sense?

to me it seems like it's just these different images, and when you click on one, it takes you to another, via a button... of course, when i got into flash and tried to make this, i couldn't figure it out. any ideas? any help?

Flash Emulator/application
I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how to achieve something...

I am trying to make a flash presentation of an application i use for work. I thought it might be possible to take screenshots of every page, and put them in flash and when you "hit" the button on the respective pages, it would open the next screenshot that it corresponds to.

I thought it might be possible, because I once saw a Win ME flash thing, where you saw the desktop, then you could click the start button, see the menu, mouse over to the exploded menus, and click on certain things, like control panel, then the window would pop up the control panel. does this make sense to anybody? i saw something similar at:
http://ccsn.emea.compaq.com/docs/training/Windows_XP/Emulator/desktop.htm

which seems to be in javascript, but i thought the same could be done in flash. any ideas? i figured maybe you can create a button state, click on it then the screen changes, create a button state for the next thing you want see, it takes you there... thanks for the help.

Flash Doodling App. Pen Tool Emulator Possible?
I hope the title seemed to explain what I am asking, but just incase you are still wondering, I will further explain now.

I am making a flash doodling/drawing app and with some advanced features, I want the user to have a pen like tool to draw with. One part of my site will centered around this doodling app, so I want it to be good. I know how to make a stamp like tool, and a straight line tool, but a tool like the pen tool... I have no idea how it would be scripted.

I want the pen tool because it can draw curved lines and etc. I do not need a exact same type tool as the pen tool, just a tool where someone can click on one point, then click another and have a line they can bend.

Also, in a flash doodling app, is there a way to have a undo feature? Another thing, how could they, the user save the doodles as .jpgs? These advanced features are not mentioned much as far as I can see, so I have no idea how it would be done.

Thanks for all the help!

Flash Lite Emulator And Scrolling Images
Hello,

I'm developing a little app for a cell phone, and when I test the movie in the emulator, the soft keys only work on the phone's key pad, and not when I click on the screen. Is that the way it should work, or should they be clickable?

Also, another question, since the screen doesn't listen to mouse clicks. how can I program an image scroll bar to work in Flash Lite 2? For example, in regular Flash apps, you can create a scroll bar and program it to be clicked and dragged to scroll. But how does the user scroll a scroll bar on a cell phone? If I program it to be clicked and dragged, I don't know how the user will be able to click it and drag it on a phone. If the scroller will work with the up and down arrow keys on the phone, how do I switch focus to the scroller?

I hope this is clear but please ask if it isn't! Thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate it very much. :)

Mobile Phone Emulator Combining MX With CHTML
Hey everyone,
I have been asked to create a mobile phone emulator combining Flash MX and CHTML. My job is the Flash part, basically they want a shell designed in flash. The job of this 'shell' is to act like a real mobile phone on the web for demo purposes. When a user clicks any button it will call in a HTML page within the mobile phone window. The overlying graphic of the phone stays the same, but has all the functionality of a mobile phone. When a user clicks on a different button it will call in a different HTML page underneath the shell without the page looking like its refreshing. I hope this makes sense?

I imagine that it will require javascript and AS combined....I just really need to undertsand how this would happen, and the code if possible from any of you fabulous peoples ;-)

any help VERY much appreciated....

cheers

Windows Emulator.... Having Trouble With Minimizing The "windows".
I'm creating a website that will behave kinda' like Windows. I have a basic menu that when you click on an option, a window will open up. You can drag the windows and close them. However, I'm having trouble with the minimizing part.

Lets say that I have 3 "windows" (each is a movie clip) called "win1", "win2", and "win3". Each window has an instance of a minimize button. When you click the button, the window should minimize to the bottom of the screen, and line up in the order that it was minimized in (just like Windows). I figured out how to get them to minimize, but I can't get them to sort themselves correctly.

Lets say that I just minimized all three windows in this order:
win1, win2, win3

Now, if I click on win1 to maximize it, I want win2 and win3 to shift over to the left to take the place of win1. Then, if I minimize win1 again, it should go to the end of the row. Resulting in this order:
win2, win3, win1

Does anyone know of any code that I could make these windows sort themselves when they are minimized and maximized?

Thanks!
