Hello Mr StillerI have just ordered your book. May I ask you to assure me that it is in fact written for complete beginners to 'Flash,' as I am way before the 'beginner' stage? I realise this question is a bit late now, but..................!regardsfrancois27

Confused About AS3 Buttons (did Read David Stiller's Blog)
I'm trying to convert an AS2 file over to AS3 and I can't get the buttons to work. They do not want to gotoAndStop at certain frames in specific scenes. In the following code, if you click on a button it works fine, but when you attemp to change to a new Scene, it breaks and both buttons won't work thereafter. I've tried everything for almost a day now and cannot get this to work and cannot find any reference to the problem. Is AS3 buttons not able to go to a new scene as it suggests in the Help files?:
Attach Code
one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goOne);
function goOne(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(evt.target.name);
gotoAndStop("two", "Scene2");
}
two_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goTwo);
function goTwo(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(evt.target.name);
gotoAndStop("one", "Scene1");
}
ATTN: David Stiller
BTW, I created the website in Flash 8. Here is the code again that you sent. I clicked onto the SUBMIT button and it goes nowhere. No Thank you page comes. So something is wrong somewhere with the script. Please HELP me. I cannot stand all day long working on this scripting and getting nowhere. I need to have the Thank You page to appear and the typed form information to come to my email. Both are not working. WHY? Perhaps, there should be a period after the top lv ? on the line after release. Also, should there be two brackets on near bottom after the url line? Please HELP me solve situation..
Mary Alice
Attach Code
on (release) {
my_lv = new LoadVariables();
my_lv.household = _parent.household_txt.text;
my_lv.water = _parent.water_txt.text;

David Morris' Book
I'm trying to work through David Morris' book, "Creating a Web Site with Flash CS3 Professional" It was going great until about page 38 when istarted to seem that I was missing steps. BUT, I couldn't find any thing that I had missed doing. Now, I'm o page fifty. (After eight frustrating hours) and I'm either going to start over at page one or throw this book into the wood stove.
If anybody understands this book could you please contact me, I'm sure I'm just missing something simple.
Dear David Re: LoadURL Help
david, thanks so much for the repley.
i am studying the thread you told me to see, but didn't quite get it to work yet.
this is what i am trying to do, in detail....
i have a original fla movie, A, which is embedded in a html page. within A, i created button C to have another fla movie, B appear in a new window(chromless javascript window). that wasn't a problem.
but i am having trouble to make the button C go to a specific frame label in B. i also want to make another button, D inside A, which goes to a different frame label within B.
is this simular to your previous posting?

David Khundiashvili PHP-Flash Mailer Problem
Hi experts,
I used David Khundiashvili PHP-Flash mailer many times and it worked very good if I run it in a separte movie.
Now I have a main movie (index.swf) that loads a
second movie (ind.swf) on level 2. The second movie
loads a third movie (contact.swf) that contains the
PHP Mailer form on the "_root" level. The second and the
third movie are loaded using:
loadMovieNum("ind.swf", 2); //to load the second movie into the first movie
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", 1); //to load the third movie into the second movie
Please tell me how to modify the code. I think the
problem is how to address the "answer"
variable in "mailform.php" file:
$sendresult = "Thank you....";
$send_answer = "answer="; //I think here is the problem
$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);
echo "$send_answer";
Any help is very important to me.
Thank you.
David.masterson>>>how About A Dynamic Variable For Scrolling An Object?
hey David....I was thinking that if I could create a variable that holds an increasing value, maybe I could get it to scroll with out the hidden button(tracker)?... all I need to do is make the value output to the variable increase every time to a max value... easy eh?...jajajaj
x = function()
y = function()
//makes sure its within the clip dimenison
if (( _root._ymouse>200)and(_root._ymouse<400)) {
//evaluates where the mouse is in respect to the center
if (_root._xmouse>400 ){
setProperty(_root.object,_x,x);//x generated by a function
} else {

Bought CS3 But Haven't Read My MX Actionscript, MX2004, Books. Should I Read Them?
I just bought CS3 and I am now debating whether I should read my Flash MX Actionscript bible, Flash 2004 Bible. I should have read them, but It's just hard to fit the time in.
Would I benefit from reading these books when CS3 is Actionscript 3? How much functionality is lost when scripting in Actionsript 2 and 1 as compared to Actionscript 3.
Would it be wiser for me to just learn Actionscript 3 properly and get a book on Actionscript 3 than waste my time on reading old scripting and technology?
Also is MC tween compatible on CS3, actionscript 3.

DON'T LAUGH AT THE GRAPHICS! I'LL CHANGE THEM LATER!
Ok I Have Read And Read, But I Am Getting No Where. Please For The Love Of God Help
Ok I have developed an interactive map, by which the user clicks a button and information pops up into the dynamic box taking this from nodes in my XML file.
The client has requested the availability in typing information into the dynamic box (area), so really I need to change this into an input box, fine.
But then to click a save button, for the xml file to be passed the information, thus next time the information is presented on click of a button, as many buttons are applied to many nodes in the xml tree, i.e cw1, cw2, cw3 and so on.
I CANNOT DO IT!
I stress this because I am at my end, its taking me ages to get the data into a flash window from each node, and there are many. But now I am attempting to undertake the impossible. I have looked at tutorials from sencular, who really does know his stuff, but cannot do it.
It would be really kind if someone could help me for a simple approach dispite it not being simple as I dont have much time, and I am rushed.
So I am in desperate need right about now, so please help me.
So my aim is for the client to input data into the area after clicking a button, as currently I just have bogus text in each field, but they will be able to overwrite this in real time.
I am sure that asp, xml and flash are required to achieve this, thats fine, but I need help.
Tell me with it being an internal thing could we pass the information in holding into a secondr swf file.?
This is not for the internet, but an internal intra net.
Kindest regards for anyone willing to reply

I have to have this done before tommorow, and I am having a strange problem that I can't overcome....
I have a slider:
-----------------------
O X X X X X X X X X X
-----------------------
here 0 represents the slider. When I click on one of the Xs, say the 6th one, the slider glides over to that X. At that point the entire navigation lifts up. The problem is, when it lifts up, the glider returns to the original state instead of staying over the 6th X. There is no actionscript that is making this happen. It returns on the first frame of the motion tween, to the spot that it is at in the MC (if that makes sense?). Anyway, is there a property or something to stop this from happening??
Thanks alot for any help

As this is the last day to sign, I thought it was worth another post on the subject. Hopefuly this is explained in a way that will be clear to every visitor to this forum today who hasn't read the other threads (moderators, please excuse the deleberate crosspost on this important issue)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s say you drive a car. You’ve been driving for years. Then one day a letter comes through the post telling you that you have to take your car into the nearest garage and have the brake pedal removed. What?!
Well, as it turns out, some small company in America owns a patent on the break peddle. They’ve just won court case to prove it, and now they won’t let any manufacturers use them any more.
Your car still works, but it’s flawed – because you can’t stop! There are alternatives. You could buy a bike. Yet whatever alternative you choose has its downsides; and what about the people who make their living from driving cars? Who would want to get into a taxi or on a bus that has no brakes? So there would be an awful lot of people out of work too. This means even more people claiming benefits, and that will result in higher taxes, not to mention the cost to car manufacturers all over the world, who will need to come up with alternatives. Who do you think they’ll pass those costs on to?
Now, if this scenario sounds stupid and outrageous to you, perhaps you may want to sign the patent petition at eurolinux.org (closing date today!), because it’s far from fiction. Okay, it has nothing to do with cars, granted, but if passed, the new European patent laws relating to software can and will have knock on effects that you’ll notice.
A lot of the free software that you can currently download will disappear (licenses cost money!). Functionality in your favourite applications like Word, PowerPoint and Excel may very well also disappear someimte in the near future too. The games you play online and the funny attachments you send to friends in emails are already under serious threat due to a current court case which has been won, and is now under appeal. This is what’s happening now.
The court case I refer to is Microsoft verses Eolas (a company with one employee).
Eolas have won their case, and unless successfully appealed, they will be able to stop ALL BROWSERS from using the “embed” tag (the one that allows many of your favourite games, cartoons streaming video/audio AND FLASH to be embedded in the web pages you view). This has happened because these ridiculous software patent laws have already been passed in America, so let’s stop them from affecting Europe too.
“So what” you may say. “I hate Microsoft”. Well, the embed tag allows content from other manufacturers to be displayed in your browser. If the appeal fails then third party manufacturers won’t be able to continue doing this and you will be reliant on Microsoft to provide alternatives.
Java, Flash and RealPlayer and more could all be affected in this current court case. “So what, I hate embedded technologies”. Well, the embedded technologies court case is out of our hands anyway. All we want to do is stop patent law doing damage to software companies in Europe. Today it’s someone laying claim to the embed tag, but what about tomorrow?
The petition is here: http://petition.eurolinux.org/index_html
Please sign it, wherever you're from.
