Flash :: Flasy Player Release Notes?

Another Flash 6 Player Release?
What is the deal with Macromedia releasing another Flash 6 player? It seems like MM released this player along with MX way too early and without enough testing.(4th Flash player release) I have lost alot of respect for them since the release of these new versions. On top of that you have to restart your computer again when you install this latest version of the Flash 6 Player(I know about the Active X controller, but with all other releases of the Flash player not one of them required you to reboot your machine)Also, it looks like Flash MX's so called video support it not one hundred percent accurate. I have tried importing several mpgs from my sony digital camera and none of them will import into MX. So I will have to say once again that Macromedia dropped the ball on this latest release of Flash.

Sniffing The Last Player Release
Hi all,

I was banging my head against the wall last week when my site wouldn't pull data from my ASP script.

Everything was right, no scripting errors at all... then after several hours of dubugging, I found that the problem was the version of my Flash Player. I had the Flash Player 6, but not the latest version.

After installing version 6.79 (I believe that's the latest) everything works fine.

Now I'm left with a new problem...

How can I tell if a user has the latest version?

I need a sniffer to direct those with anything but the latest plug-in to download the player.

And here's the other rub, I need it to be incorporated into the swf, so I cannot use the deployment kit. (Long Story)

I've been experimenting with the getVersion() action, but haven't had much luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks

HtmlText <img> Notes
This is a follow up on some things I've learned since this post:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...287#post432287

If you load only an image into an htmlText field of equal dimensions, your image will be scaled down. The culprit here is the hspace and vspace attributes that Flash uses as padding for text to flow around your image. By default both of these are set to 8 pixels.

So setting these to 0 will make your image show up perfectly unscaled right?...Wrong, unfortunately Macromedia likes to keep a tiny bit of space on the bottom portion of all of its textboxes (this is probably some sort of required carriage return.) So...using the <img> tag will result in your image being scaled down in the vertical dimension, ever so little to keep Macromedia's space.

The amount of space that must exist turns out to be exactly 3 pixels. This means that if you add 3 pixels to your "height" when creating the text field your image will display with proper dimensions. Unfortunately, the "carriage return" will remain and can be seen by setting the "border" attribute of the text field to true. I've tried various things to try to get rid of it but it won't budge (ie: using negative vspace, which just moves your image position upward).

Here is final code for an unscaled image of dimensions 109x25 in an html enabled text field:

PHP Code:

this.createTextField("bg",0,0,0,109,28);this.bg.html=true;this.bg.wordWrap=true;this.bg.multiline=true;this.bg.htmlText="<img src='button.jpg' hspace='0' vspace='0'>";

I have also made and attached an example file that has 3 main components:
1. An unscaled html image loaded into a text field with the borders and background color set so you can see the "carriage return"
2. A text box of equal dimensions as the image right next to the text field with the image so you can see that the "carriage return" actually exists
3. A draggable image loaded with "loadMovie" that you can drag onto #2 to see that the dimensions do match up.

Code:

tellTarget ("/s3b") {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/s3b") {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
}

//_-____-_____-___-__-__-_-_-_-_-_--_-__
//Complicated way
num_buttons = 10;
for (i=1; i<=num_buttons; i++) {
b = this["button"+i];
b.onRollOver = function() {
someClip.gotoAndPlay("label"+i+"_over");
};
b.onRollOut = function() {
someClip.gotoAndPlay("label"+i+"_out");
};
}

//Easy way..
buttonname.onRollOver = function(){
s3b.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}

buttonname.onRollOver = function(){

Dynamic Notes Function
Again, i remember seeing a tute somewhere on changing a text field depending on the value of something else, but i can't find it, so here I am, again.

What i'm doing, in this part of the application, is there are certain options that can be bought for a vehicle, that don't have any "numerical" effect on the rest of the car, in other words, the cost of the car goes up, but none of the stats change, so i've had a "notes" text field, however,what happens is that, because i need this multiple times i can't just clear ALL of the notes value for one part, so i have something that reads like "gridlinkadded""gridlink removed""gridlink added" and so on, but what i would LIKE is to be able to keep any old information that might be in notes (although i don't have anything yet that adds to it, i know i will), and just replaces, or even better, removes the mention of gridlink if they decide to remove it.

possible?

'sticky Notes' Or Tags
i came across a flash movie that had a place where you could write a note on a particular page, and access it again through a menu, like a quick drop down menu that linked back to the page with the note. have you seen that before? does anyone know how to do it? i kind of tried doing it with a variable and i couldnt really get it to work.
another i saw let the text i typed stay on that page, and when i went to the next page it disappeared, but going back to the first page it was still there. pretty magic i thought until i saw the other one that was accessed through a menu. i hope someone can help me because i think its a really cool thing to include in my movie. thank you

Phone Registrer And Notes
I was working on the calendar fla and got the idea of making, in the same fla, a field for the user to make notes and save it the same way the calendar does.
And also make a field to save names and phone number. The user can search for a name in a field beside it.
Is it possible to make those features the same way the calendar?

Is It Possible To Generate Musical Notes In Flash?
Hi,

I am developing a game for a customer based on a simple piano keyboard, where the game will play a note and the player should point the right note by clicking the keyboard.

The doubt is: can I generate the musical note within Flash or I need to import wave sounds and just play it?

In most of programming languages (Delphi, VB, etc) you can generate the sound by giving the frequency and duration of the note, but I am not sure if this can be done in Flash.

Thanks!!

Flash And Lotus Notes Domino
Hi there. Sorry if this is a double post. Does anyone know how to make Flash and Domino talk to each other using javascript? And not just by extracting information from the url address, but really passing information between the Flash interface and the background Notes documents. There's an example posted here : http://www.dominopower.com/issues/issue200102/flash0201002.html
but I keep getting errors when I try to follow the tutorial. Has anyone done this example before, and if so, can you kindly send me the .nsf and flash source files? or point me to another tutorial on this? GREATLY appreciate it if you could do this, thanks!

Sending Mail Using Lotus Notes Or MS Outlook
Is there any specific way to send mail with flash using mail program like outlook, lotus notes or any other program which has configured mail servers in it.

Search Field With A Lotus Notes Database
I can get this to work in HTML, here is the code for that.

<form action="http://server/Lotus/cd_directory.nsf/ViewSearchGeneric?CreateDocument" method="post" name="form1" id="form1" >
 NatureWorks Directory Search 

<input name="SearchString" size="25" />
<input name="ViewToSearch" value="Last Names" type="hidden" />

Now let say I use "Smith" for the item to be searched. The address field will display the following.
http://server/Lotus/cd_directory.nsf/Last%20Names?SearchView&Query=FIELD+Display_Name=s mith*

This is much different from the above code. How can I get the same results in a flash file? I've been working with the following ActionScript that someone gave me.

in root U place textfield with var=searchstring
on submit button :
on(replace){
getURL("http://server/Lotus/cd_directory.nsf/ViewSearchGeneric?CreateDocument" ","POST")
}

Thanks

Using A Projector To Display Flash W/ Hidden Notes
I am basically making a glorified powerpoint presentation. (Yeah I know, boring.) The only problem is that a projector will display whatever you have on your screen.

PowerPoint has a feature to allows you to have notes up on your computer but the notes will not be projected.

I need objects or instructions to be visible to the user but not to the audience viewing the glorified slide show.

As far as I know, flash has nothing built into it to accomplish this, is there any way to do it externally? Or maybe a way to fake it?

Adding "sticky Notes" To An Image In Flash
Hi everyone,
I want to know if anybody here can help me out with creating a "sticky note" type of thing to a flash image similar to IKEA's online catalog here: http://ikea.shoplocal.com/ikea/Defau...kea-070714-B2C

If you go up to the tool bar by "Tools:" there should be an option to "Add Note" if you hover over one of the icons. When you click it, a "sticky note" should appear with the ability to add any kind of text you want, move it around and close it. I want something like that. And also, maybe I wasn't aware of this before, but is there a certain code for clicking on a link to "Print Page" in flash just like in the IKEA online catalog?

Thanks if anyone can kindly help. I've tried my best to describe my problem as best as I could.
