No Flash Installed ALT Image In A Cell Of A Table
Hey, Flash friends!
We're using Flash for playing sounds in the "Slang of the Day" feature at http://www.peakenglish.com. The only Flash part of the page is the button you click to play the sound. The problem is that if the user doesn't have the Flash plug-in, sometimes they won't realize there is an option to listen to the slang word and example because there's nothing showing there should be a "play the sound" button - no broken link, nothing. Since the swf file with the button is placed in a cell within a table, I wonder whether there is a way to use some type of Flash detector that would display a message in that cell instead of the button that would prompt the user to get the Flash plug-in if he/she doesn't have it installed. The Flash deployment kit that Macromedia offers lets you display an alternative HTML page, which wouldn't be appropriate in our case - neither would be a frameset solution. Your help is greatly appreciated AS ALWAYS
Thanks!

Can You Embed Flash In The Background Of A Table Or Cell?
I would like to have a flash movie sit in the background of an html page with content sitting over top. I tried with layers but learnt by default swf will always sit over top.
So i thought maybe by embedding flash in the background of a table or cell with a nestled table sitting over top with the content.
Is this possible?

thanks in advance

Can A Flash Menu Span A Table Cell?
I'm in the middle of converting an all-flash site which you can see here:

www.mdsol.com (all flash)

into more of an html site. Basically, the only thing remaining Flash on the page as I've rebuilt is the image fader....the menu was re-built using dhtml and while this works fine on pc in various browsers, I'm getting reported probs on macs, even though this is supposed to be cross-platform compatible. So now I'm looking at possibly incorporating the original Flash menu. Unfortunately when I included this in a table cell, it butts up against the cell....is there a way to get it to drop down outside the cell over the fading images and the big callout text image next to it?

Loading A Swf Into A Table Cell From Another Swf...
I want to insert a movieclip (a set of navigation buttons) into a table cell of an html document (which I know how to do)... but...
I want the navigation buttons within that movieclip to be able to load other swf files into other cells of the table.
Does anyone know how to go about this sort of thing in actionscript?

Layering SWF On Top Of Html Table Cell
I am trying to layer an .swf file on top of an html table cell. I would prefer not to use absolute positioning because all browsers display their pixels and margins differently. I need this to line up perfectly in the table. Is there another, more simple way to do this? I don't need the flash file to be transparent at all. I just want there to be something (the html) underneath the .swf in case a user does not have the plug-in installed.

All I really need to know is how to make an .swf file overlay something in a html table cell.

Thanks!

Changing Background Of A Cell In A Table
hey there,
just wondering about php.
could somebody help me with this complicated problem
---
you have two cells, background green, cell1= 10.00h, cell2= 11.00h
---
there is a form, where you can make reservation, if they want to make reservation at 10.00h, the cell should turn red after they submit, because the database knows then that it's occupated. so only cell2 will be green the next time you visit the page, and the other red.
---
and now;
to the people who understand my story
can you help me with a code...
thanks a lot!

How Would I Crontrol A Swf Using A Swf That Is In A Seperate Html Table Cell?
Flash Mx --- I have a web site that has seperate swf files put together in a HTML table. The question i have is this. I have it set up where the menu is a seperate swf file in a different cell from the swf I want to control. I want to be able to use that menu to change the other swf file. The whole page is in one frame. Is there some type of actionscript that would allow me to set the buttons in my menu to control the different swf that is not in the same movie.

eg. user click on the bio button on the menu.swf that is on the top cell and have it either load a swf into the body.swf in the lower cell. Or even use the GotoandPlay(); to change the frames in the body.swf that is located on the bottom cell

here is the page as it stands now. The menu will be located in the bar that is located right under the title/banner of the site

Remote Targeting A HTML Table Cell From A Separate SWF Button
Hi,
I have multiple SWFs loaded into a tabled HTML Page.

One of the SWFs is a Nav Menu.

I am trying to remotely target a particular table cell in the middle of the page to load an SWF on this page when the Flash Nav Menu Button SWF is clicked.

I have named the table cell "main".
When the SWF Menu Button is clicked I want to load a Flash SWF into the selected table cell named "main" on the same HTML page.
I am working in Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3.

One thought was to create a blank shell or starting SWF to go into the "main" named table cell. Then some how through actionscript call to that SWF to load the external SWF into it.
Another idea is to create the SWF for that tabled cell with all the individual areas built into it so when the user clicks the menu buttons then it just goes to those areas.

The main issue is being able to control or call the separate or external SWF from the Nav Menu SWF to load or change to another frame on the timeline remotely.

Any suggestions on how this can be achieved?
Thank you for your help it is appreciated.

Image In A DataGrid Cell Based On Cell Value
I've been googling for hours and cannot find how to display an image in a cell based on its value.

I think I need to be using a cellRenderer and to complicate things my grid is being created on the fly, so I don't know how many columns it will have when the data comes back.

All I know is the columns are called col<N> where N is the column # and I want all columns to have a image displayed instead of a number that comes back from the database

for example : 1 --> green.jpg, 2---> yellow.jpg, 3 --> red.jpg

I also don't want to change the way the 1st column is rendered , only the 2nd and beyond columns.

High Score Table (empty Table) HELP
Hey guys,

[Flash8]

Basically I’m making a high score table and the problem I am having is that for some reason I can't see any of the information from my database table. I believe my php file is correct, I think the prob is somewhere in my action script but I just can't see it.

I have attached the flash file and the php file. My database table was on wamp and have attached a screen shot of the table.

Flash Ads And Cell Rollovers
Problem.... I'm creating a website similar to MTV.com.

Cell rollovers and Flash ads...if you go to MTV you will see that everything runs smoothly...you can rollover sections on the website and it doesn't slow down the Flash animation ads, but in my website while doing a rollover all Flash ads pause then slow down .....what do I have to do in order for everything to run perfectly? Also having different Flash ads on the same page can slow one another down, why?

Flash Cell Biology
hello,
I'm looking for some tips/guidance on a project I want to start. The basic idea behind this project is to recreate a cell through flash and its interactions with other objects and cells. The goals of this project is to recreate a basic cells functions (grow, multiply, eat etc.) I know this is a huge project to take on but i was wondering if someone could recommend approaches or even libraries that would help me to achieve this. I want the interactions to be as realistic as possible also how the cell would go after food/prey.

Thanks,

Cell Animation Drawing Flash Look
Hello everyone! I'm new here. First time posting! I just wanted to say what an awesome site this is. VERY helpful!

My title may be a bit confusion, so let me try and explain. I have been working with flash for about a year now. I'm decent at it. I'm no expert. I can do next to no action scripting. I've started a project in flash. A series about a bounty hunter named Pliskin. To see the opening theme please check out http://jonathanj.chickendude.com/watch.html

What I would like to accomplish is an animation that doesn't look so much like vector graphics. I want the characters to look more like anime, or like they have been drawn on paper. It's hard to explain... sorry. If anyone here has ever seen or heard of Ninjai: The Little Ninja then that is the kind of animation I'm trying to achieve. Not on such a high level, but something similar. Realistic looking.

I have hardly any skill with photoshop, though I would like to learn. Any assistance, tips, or help would be great! Also, if you are very good with photoshop, and or Flash and you are interested in helping, let me know! I would be very eager to get some help with background art, etc.

Also, should I learn actionscripting? I know it is important for preloaders and stuff, but can in actually help in making the animation easier, and making things work better and smoother? Thanks again for your time and help!

I have a flash file. And there is a JSP file which has an image cell tag. When i click on this image cell.A pop up comes up which has a browse option with which i select the flash file. And when i say ok then it should embed the flash file and display it in the image cell. I would be obliged if you could guide me or tell me how to do it.

Text Messaging To Cell Phones Off Flash Site...
Ok, here goes--

What i want to do is use the guestbook on this page (http://www.pamelasmall.com/3.html--go to the last page in the chapter) to not only post a user's message on the site itself but ALSO give them the option of forwarding that message as a text message to any cell phone number they want to.

the guestbook uses PHP/MySQL. It was created by Adelio Solutions.

Ideally, the user will type in their message, and if they have opted for it, the message will be forwarded to the cell phone numbers they have inputted.

thanks for any advice or suggestions!!!!

HTML Cell Will Crop My Flash Dropdown Menu...
Hi guys,

I´ve made this cool horizontal menu which has an item that displays a dropdown submenu. My flash movie is 60px high, but the dropdown menu is 220 px high... And it appears right on the bottom of the movie. Everything goes well if I play the movie in flash player... However, if put the swf with the menu inside a HTML file (in a 60px high cell), the dropdown will be cropped!

Is there any way to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Large Datagrid W/ Cell Renderers Causing Flash Player Crash
Hello,

   I have a large datagrid w/ 12 colums, 4 of which have embeded combo boxes and 4 of which have radio buttons.

It seems I've hit a near maximum on what flash can handle in terms of customized datagrids because 5 times out of 10, when the datagrid is loaded, it causes the flash player to give the "A script in flash is causing the program to become unresponsive" error.

Help With Flash In A Table
I'm making a webpage for a client, it has a loader and one module it will use to display a model, and interact with it.

The loader uses ActionScript to create an emptyMoveClip. This clip then reads from another swf file, located in the same directory and loads it to be displayed. I made a loader up because for one I don't want viewers to have direct access to the swf file, and second it's meant to also let the user click a thumbnail to pick which model they want to display (haven't implemented that yet though...).

On its own the swf files work fine. The individual model works, and the loader works when I tell it to load and display the model. My problem comes from when I try to import this into an html table. It just doesn't work. I right click where it should be and my browsers (IE and Opera) don't show them. IE says the movie isn't loaded when I right click, and Opera doesn't show anything.

I tried putting it into just a blank HTML page with just <BODY><HEAD> etc. tags. But still, nothing happened.

Does anybody know what's going on?

Table Flash Help
I'm a newbie, for sure...Im using MX2004, I've made a table with 2 rows and 3 columns each measuring 300 X 200. Which happens to be the exact size of the flash object I'm trying to insert...Now here's the problem...When inserting, the flash, the size jumps to 550 X 550, and when resizing to 300 X 200, the text etc, in the object, shrinks beyond compare. How can I insert the flash objects into the table at 300 X 200 and retain it's original "look"??? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thank You..

Flash In A Table
Hi,

I have been trying to insert a flash swf inside a table and using percentage for the flash swf size. But somehow it won't show if it's inside a table. But if I put the swf outside the table, it will show.

On the other hand if I still put it inside a table and using fixed size in pixel, it will show.

have anyone ever encountered this? What's the solution? Because I use percentage for the whole page and the swf should be inside the table as it laysout side by side with the text.

Thanks

An HTML Table In Flash?
I'm potentially developing an application that will be displaying lots of data to the user. I'm looking to find or develop some reusable code that mimics some of the HTML Table functionality.

So basically, I'm looking for a system that can:
- Take an array of data
- Create a grid or rows and columns based on that data
- Size the rows and columns based on a spec.
- Allow for customizable colors.

I've scoured the movies section of flashkit for such a beast, but to no avail. Any help appreciated.

If I don't find something, maybe I'll code it (possibly using the new drawing capabilities of mx). Any thoughts welcome.

Flash And Table Backgrounds
Hey,

I have had this issue before and I have never been able to resolve it.

Here is an example of the issue. I have a table 2 x 2 in the first cell I put my flash move(we'll just say its roughly 500 x 75) , in the second cell (top right), I put in a background image and a spacer image. I do the same with the bottom 2 cells. So I end up with something like this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
|................................................. ..........|.I.|
|.........................FLASH AREA........................|.&.|
|................................................. ..........|.B.|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|...........I & B (Image and Background Image)..............|I&B|
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't my ascii lovely(sorry about the '.''s rahter then spaces, but the preview showed spaces not working properly). Anyway what I find is that the background image tends to not show up when flash is included in any part of the same table.

If any one can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
