Php Flash Help Very Much Needed Here
hi, if u can help , it would be much appreciated.

I have already seen a very similar thread on here already, but i cant make sence of it , so i need to post my own problem.

MY PROBLEMS IS ,,,,, the php send the mail beautifully when i hit send,,, but a new window pops up with the message that is supposed to come up in the flash dynamic text field 'EmailStatus'.

I want it to work so that when i hit send, NO NEW WINDOWS pop up, and the text field 'EmailStatus"is populated with the message i set for it in the php.

NB: I AM USING INSTANT NAMES INSTEAD OF VAR NAMES< ID PREFER TO KEEP IT THIS WAY.

here is my actionscript on the send button

on (release) {
contactForm = new LoadVars();
contactForm.contactName = contactName.text;
contactForm.businessName = businessName.text;
contactForm.contactNo = contactNo.text;
contactForm.email = email.text;
contactForm.day = day.getValue();
contactForm.time = time.getValue();
contactForm.comments = comments.text;
contactForm.send("dbicontactform.php", "0", "POST");
}

and here is my php :

<?
$ToEmail = "maurice@aol.com";

$ToName = "Maurice";
$ToSubject = "DBI CONTACT";
$ToSubject2 = "Direct Business Insurance - Contact Details received";

$EmailBody = "Sent By: $contactName
Senders Company: $businessName
Senders Email: $email
Senders Contact Number: $contactNo
Please call on: $day
At: $time
Comments: $comments
";

$EmailFooter="
This message was sent by: $contactName from $REMOTE_ADDR If you feel that you recieved this e-mail by accident please contact us at www.directbusinessinsurance.com";

$Message = $EmailBody.$EmailFooter;

mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $Message, "From: ".$contactName." <".$email.">");

$Emailreply = "Thank you for your interest. We will respond shortly.

Sent By: $contactName

";

$headers = "From: info<info@maurice.com> ";

mail($contactName." <".$email.">",$ToSubject2, $Emailreply, "From: ".$headers." <".$headers.">");

Print "_root.butchcontext.contact.EmailStatus = Complete - Your mail has been sent";

Flash Help Needed
OK, I have a problem with the flash movie when it plays in the player. When I started a new website, I made the layout 770 by 900. OK, i made a graphic the width of the movie, which is 770 and the height of the graphic as 440. on the stage (my working area), it shows up to fit the movie just right. but when i play it in the player, it shows up small and not able to reach the edges of the border. what is going on here and how can I fix this?

ASP To FLASH Help Needed Please
I read pretty much every post on reading in variables from an ASP page in this forum, so I know there's lots of people having issues with this.

Anyway, I have the ASP working right, I believe, b/c if my asp is:

Response.Write: "&VAR=123456789&"

my asp page will output:

&VAR=123456789&

then my movie displays it correctly. However, if instead of typing the string, I insert a variable:

Response.write "&VAR=" &rs.Fields("VAR").Value & "&"

my asp outputs the same:

&VAR=123456789&

but this time my movie won't read it, it just prints a quotation mark. So is there something else perhaps I'm doing wrong with the ASP or FLASH that it can read a simple string, but not a variable? My action script is simple:

loadVariablesNum("card.asp", 0);

And I have a dynamic text box with the variable set to VAR.

Any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

Flash Pro Needed
I have a little scripting issue. I have a scroller menu that uses mouse coordinates to move the menu across the screen. This works fine, but the only thing that I dont like is that mouse can be anywhere in the horizontal area of the menu and the menu responds to it. Lets say that the menu is 100px wide and in the center of the document. The document is 800px wide. Well, if you mouse over anywhere on the same plane as the menu, it reacts. I have uploaded the file for viewing. Please take a look at it and let me know what the deal is. I would really like to implement this feature in my website.

Thanks

Flash God Needed
Im making a new webpage and i have an idea that im not
to sure how make with flash.

The Idea:

Picture the Webpage like a garage door. The door opens and reveals the
Home Page. when you click on another link, the door closes and reopens
with the new page.

The problem im having is with the animation of the door closing then
moving to what ever frame(link) the user has clicked on.

My understanding of how i might be able to work in the time line

====Door Opens===Page is shown=<Action Script> STOP===Door shuts.

im guessing this is one way to do it. have a full animation of the door opening
then showing the Page then the door shutting. Using a <STOP> to stop the play head on the page.

But i dont know how to make it start to play to show the animation of the door shutting then jumping to a new frame(link)

Thanks for your time

[Flash 8] Help Needed
Hi,all,
I'm fairly new to Actionscript and I'm stuck on a simple actionscript code.
I have a movie that plays a simple animated intro...
It stops at frame 250.
I want the movie to direct the viewer automatically to a web page (main.html) in the same folder/directory as the movie after, let's say, 5 seconds.
The redirect to the web page will NOT be user-initiated by a button or anything else.
It'll be automatic when the intro movie ends.

The closest code that I have found, without the 5 second delay, is:

stop();
on.enterFrame{
getURL("www.mydomain.org/main.html");
}

But that gives me an error in Line 4.

I'm stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to set up the pages/code ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Flash 8/AS Help Needed
Hey all,

I'm fairly new at Flash, and brand new here. Whenever I need a quick tutorial, this place always seems to come up, and it's usually pretty helpful.

I've been asked to create a tour/catalog that behaves very much like this...

http://www.restorationhardware.com/r...yId=cat1459014

I'm ok with setting up the scrollpane initially. I've got my buttons inside it acting like good little buttons, and they control the main movie screen with no trouble. I'm stuck on what I think is the easy part.

I can't get the side buttons to control the motion inside the scrollpane. Also, my solution for getting the movie inside the scroll pane to shift left or right when the page loads is not pretty.

I'd love to start a conversation with someone who can get me moving down the right path.
Thanks.

Flash Cs3 AS Help Needed
I am customizing a flash template in cs3. i don't know AS except for a little tweaking here and there and i'm stumped with this one.

so, mc "im_over" when clicked brings out the pop-up mc "scroller". scroller contains different frames with diff content. the AS that is in the template works fine bringing up pop-up scroller showing frame 1. but now i can't get it to show frame 2.

here is the AS for the working one.

on (release) {
_root.popup_pressed=1;
_root.scrHEIGHT=280
_root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(2);

_root.TM_title = "Privacy Policy";
_root.READ = 1;
_root.scroller.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}

i have tried changing "s1" to "s2" and no go. all that happens is the title shows up. is this enough info for someone to help me? and please talk me through it as if i was a small child!!

thanks!!!

Flash Help Needed
This project is quite hard!! im getting there but slowly

ok i have a cross on the screen now wich avoids the moving object which is cool and works a treat however if there are more than one on the screen it still only works for the first movin object and not the others.

here is the code thats tracks the movig sprite:
CODE

x1 =_root.org._x;
y1 =_root.org._y;

what i thought i would need to do is this:

CODE

for (v=orgs.length-1; v>=0; v--) {
*//get clip
*org = orgs[v].clip;
* * * * * * * * * x1 =_root.org[v]._x;
* * * * * * * * * y1 =_root.org[v]._y;

this is how i have tracked other things but this doesnt work any ideas?

i think i have it a bit confused probably

what i need to be able to do is track how many of the objects called org are on the screen sao that when a new one is created on the screen the crosses avoid that one aswell.

the fla file is attached now. what i need is for the new organisms to be tracked so that the crosses avoid the new organisms too.

Flash+XML Some Serious Help Needed
Hey fellow Shockers,

after having some days of headaches i finally decided to bother you pros up here.
I need to get my portfolio (industrial design) up on the web and since I'm more of a designer than of a coder I have some problems of getting it the way i thought it should be.

I want all my work to be displayed on thumbnails which can be sorted and be clicked on to display further, larger pictures into one area. So far so good. I got a .fla example for every single task but I need to bring them to one thing somehow.
My knowledge of coding is pretty limited so i could not manage to get anything working the past days, because every fla seems to take the data out of the XML file a different way and no matter what i tried it turned to a messed up or not working thing. I'm so desperate by now but need to get somewhere with it. So I'd like to ask if somebody could be so dedicated to look into it. It would be greatly appreciated!

I put up the files to download here: http://lab.ikosa-studios.net/thestuff.zip

Thanks so much in advance.

Flash Guy Needed...
Hi guys,

Thought some of you flash people would be interested in talking to this guy. He emailed me looking for someone to help him on a project, and I don't know enough about doing flash to be of any use to him.

So, I figured I'd pass this along so somebody could maybe make a buck, or two helping this guy with his project.

Here's the email he senty me...
Quote: Hi there Rockrz.

I hope you don't mind me writing to you via The Laughingbird Software forum. I'm emailing all the members of the forum.

I have a quick question.

I'm in need of a Flash animation expert for a new project I'm working on. If you know of anybody that you could put me in touch with, I'd be interested in speaking with them.

I need a Flash Cartoonist. Somebody who knows Flash inside and out, and who loves cartooning!

have them email me: marc1@thelogocreator.com
If they have any sample animations, perhaps you can ask them to have some handy.

Thanks for your time!
Hope all is well.

Flash Jedi Needed
Like the last jedi knight in a distant universe,
YOU fellow FlashKit'er, are my last hope . . .

. . . honestly, this problem needs YOU!

The Problem:

Got a .swf menu, with buttons made from variables
contained within an external .htm

These buttons need to load external .swf movies
into a specific level.

The buttons are generated using the following
formula:

_______________________________________________

&menu_max=2&
&targetframe=content&
&pre_collapse=1&
&submenugap=0&
&mainmenugap=4&

&number_menu1=2&
&menucaption10=ABOUT US&
&menucaption11=Welcome to our site&
&menucaption12=Who we are&

&menu11=filename=welcome.swf&level=9&
&menu12=filename=who.swf&level=9&

&number_menu2=2&
&menucaption20=SERVICES&
&menucaption21=Pricing structures&
&menucaption22=Legal terms&

&menu21=filename=pricing.swf&level=9&
&menu22=filename=legal.swf&level=9&
_______________________________________________

NOTE - The actual .swf loading code is incorrect,
but gives the jist of what it's trying to do.

The entire variable file is here:
_______________________________________________

http://www.envy.nu/bluemoth/variable.htm
_______________________________________________

As far as actionscript, i believe i need to
declare LoadMovieNum somewhere, but i don't know
where i should put it.

Dp I also assume that i'd place unloadMovie before
each LoadMovie, declaring the same parameters!?

Confused in my explaination? Then the menu .swf
is available here (you'll find that no external
.swf is included, just to keep size down):
_______________________________________________

http://www.envy.nu/bluemoth/Loadmenu4c.swf
_______________________________________________

And the .fla is also available in the following
.zip file:
_______________________________________________

http://www.envy.nu/bluemoth/variable%20menu.zip
_______________________________________________

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and i'll
even consider rewarding the person that gets this
working.

Flash & Mac Problem, Help Needed
Hi there,

I've built my site completely in Flash 5 (PC), the URL is

Serious Flash Gurus ... Help Needed
Hi there,

Got a real problem here with some script.
I am building a shopping cart where all the items are loaded in on levels. I have a cart.swf which is loaded onto level4 and is constantly there. I load the items into level3. I have a code into " _level4.movie "on the first frame which is causing Flash to crash.

function clearitem(n)
{for( ; n < 10 ; n++)
{this["name"+n] = this["name"+(n+1)];
this["price"+n] = this["price"+(n+1)];
}
this.name10 = 'empty';
this.price10 = 0;// not really needed
for(var sum = 0, n = 1 ; n <= 10 ; n++)
if(this["name"+n] != 'empty')
{sum += this["price"+n];
this["clear"+n].gotoAndStop(2);
}
else
this["clear"+n].gotoAndStop(1);
subtotal = _level0.subtotal = sum;
}

Why is this so?

Any ideas what it should be?

Thanks

Trying To Use CGI Scripts And Flash....help Needed.
Greetz,
I am trying to incorporate some already working CGI scripts into Flash.

What I am trying to accomplish it this:

My customer sells memberships on-line. Can't sell more than 150 though.

Currently we have it working like so via html/cgi.

We have the customer go to mdcount.cgi
in here this checks mdcount.txt for the number of memberships sold. It's a text file with just a number.
If the number is less than 150 it takes them to the next page (dues.htm) where they put in their memberhsip ID and takes them to pay pal. If it is greater than 150 it takes them to a page saying Membership Capacity has been reached.

So on dues.htm there is a box where you put in your membership ID #. When you press submit it send the following variables:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="business@business.org">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Membership dues">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="dues">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="11.00">

</form>

Above you see business.org/cgi-bin/mdcount2.cgi.
Once pay pal verifies payment it tells that script to run mdcount2.cgi.
That mdcount2.cgi is what updates the text file for the amount of memberships sold.

So I want to incorporate this with Flash 5.

First I will have Flash check the text file and eliminate the first CGI Script all together.

What I'm confused about though is incorporating dues.htm into the Flash.
For the membership ID# Have a dynamic input text field.
Give it a variable name of "memberid" and have it post.
On the button though I'm not sure how to work with the variables in the dues.htm file:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="business@business.org">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Membership dues">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="dues">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="11.00">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.business.org/cgi-bin/mdcount2.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<table><tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Membership ID">Membership ID</td><td><input type="text" name="os0" maxlength="200"></td></tr></table><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/images/x-click-but02.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

URGENT PHP/FLASH HELP NEEDED
URGENT!! PHP/FLASH HELP NEEDED!!
Hi there everybody,
I am looking for some help on an issue that i can't get together myself properly.
This is the case:
I am developing a website/game for a client .
The story is that the dog got lost On the set of a commercial take. Now they are calling out to find him back)
In this site users have to give clues on where a lost dog could be found.
They get to hear envoirement-soundstreams on the site of the whereabout of the dog (the story is that the dog got lost On the set of a commercial take. Now they are calling out to find him back)
What i need is:
When a user emails a clue he get's a auto reply.
Of auto reply there are six different replies for when the subscribed user sends in a new clue.
So the user has to get a different reply every time he/she sends in a new good clue.
There are six different replies that needs to be monitored towards the subscribed users.
This to prevent that they don't get the same reply twice.
After a user got all the six different replies, he/she won't get any replies after even if he/she sends in a new good clue.
If the clue is wrong they will all get the same reply that the clue is wrong and that they have to continue searching for the dog.
so, what i need a php mailform wich sends random auto replies but doesn't send the same reply twice to the same user or ip.
Maybe even with mysql
the flash movie is nothing alse then some variable input fields and a submit button wich calls this phpscript and the script handles the rest and echo's an ok back to flash.
I am looking for a php specialist who can help me out on this one.
I don't have enough experience with php but more then enough experience with flash+actionscripting.
I am more of a disigner then scripter.
If some can helpout, i'm willing to pay for it.
My name and email is:
