How To Create Personalized E-card
Hello,

I have created an FLASH e-card that I would like to e-mail to a group of people. I would like to feed their first name into a variable on the FLASH e-card from a database. How can I do this? I was hoping I could feed the name variable through the url. Something like (www.domain.com/ecard/ecard.html?name=john)

I also use an outside e-mail service, so I am not sure how that is going to work until I test it. Ultimately, I would have to upload a csv file to the email provider containing the personalized urls.

Can I do this?

Is there a better way?

Am I asking for too much?

How To Create An E-card In Flash MX Pro 2004
Hello everyone,

Hopefully someone here can help me? I am using Flash MX Pro 2004 and I am seeking how to create an e-card/allow people to select from a couple of e-cards, and send them.

From reading through older tutorials which are based on older versions of Flash, it seems doing this does not just involve flash but create some php scripts, coding...which I must admit intimidate me a bit since I am more of a designer than a developer but I am willing to learn!

thank you,

[F8] Memory Style Card Game Card Flipping Issue
Hey guys,

I need a little help with a project I'm doing for school. I'm designing a memory style card game where you flip cards over and if they match they go away and stuff. You know what I mean. Anyway, I can't figure out how to tell both cards to revert to their original state if you guess wrong.

I have the last card you pressed flipping back over no problem. It's just the first one that won't do anything and I can't figure out how to reference it.

If anyone can help that'd be great.

Electronic Portfolio
Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions for creating an Electronic Portfolio using Flash. I have to use 6 buttons, and I don't have very many ideas. One person did an animation of a paint tube goes around, and squirts out globs of paint as a button. I was trying to do a raindrop fall and burst into 6 little water buttons, but it was tough. Any suggestions let me know, I'm having a tough time, and I'm new to flash/animation.

PDF Electronic Brochures
Does anybody know of any software, plugin, Flash script or something that allows you to generate those electronic pdf brochures with the page flipping. I've found lots of people offering the service for ridiculous prices but no software that allows you to do it yourself.

Electronic Cards
Has anyone created an electronic card similar to the ones that you find on Hallmark or Blue Mountain?

I know that on those sites you pick your card and fill out the info and what you want to say and then it generates a web address for the reciever of the card to go and pick it up.

How does that exactly work? Is it possible for the giver to go to a site and fill the card out and have them save the card and send it to someone themselves?

Any info, would be appreciated.

thanks

Ever Control Lights Or An Outside Electronic With FLASH?
I'm sure it must have been done, but I'm having trouble finding anything about it.

I was looking to be able to control lights (either on/off or dimmer) by sending commands from Flash out to 'something', but I'm not sure what that 'something' should be code-wise.

Has anyone here ever attempted it, or seen examples of it being done?

E-card Tut. ?
Hi Im writing in regards to the tutorial on sending e-cards. I have it working to some extent...So far the user can enter customized text and then an email address for the person who is to recieve the card. The recipient gets an email notifying them about the e-card...BUT...cant retrieve it.
I understand that the card is stored in a databank on my website, but how do i figure out where to tell it to go. And after that how do I direct the recipient email to that databank. I think Im real close I just need to connect everything. As of right now I havent created a databank on my site, is that where I need to start?
thanks

E Card
Okay, this is something i've always wanted to know. How do u make those nifty greeting cards that u get in ur email from friends. Is there a specialized programme that u use or is flash capable by itself.

E-card Site
Ok - I have available to me generator and flash 5. i want to create a flash movie that people can type a message, move things around, etc. and then export this to a jpg. No problem exporting an swf to a jpg with generator. BUT if I want to record where the objects were placed, and the message, I have no idea how to pull that into generator. Is there a way to save an swf to the server after it has been manipulated. generator loads the swf and ignores the variable I try to pass to the flash piece. Can anyone help?

BMP Card Falling
I want to import a number of .BMP files into a flash movie.. and have each as a movieclip (so far so good (I think))

But in the movie I want to be able to treat each clip as a card.. ie the card is standing up.. but when hit it falls back.. I'am sure I could do this effect with a simple tween.. but because I'll have a movieclip for each .BMP this would be lots of work.... can I do it in Script???

all (all!!) I would need to do is have the top of the card shrink while the bottom edge remains the same.. and have the left and right edges follow the top edge shrink... I dont really think I can do this.. but perhaps you know a method?

Credit Card
I want to be able to validate credit cards via flash. I want my visitors to be able to enter there credit card info in a flash form, and have the results of the process come back in the same movie. I do not want any pop-up windows with external html forms. What is the best way for me to do this? I have PHP scripts, and JavaScripts to verify card numbers. Can someone teach me how to interface one of them with flash? Or is there a way to do all of the scripting in flash. Any one familiar with the Luhn MOD 10 algorithm?
Any help would be appreciated.

Scratch Card
Has anyone any idea how you could scratch through an image to display another image below. I guess it would be something like a lottery scratch card?

I've tried doing it using graduated opacity but it doesn't look right. I'm guessing it will take some wizzy scripting to make it look good.

Any ideas?

E-Card Question
Hi,

I hope this questionn will not sound totally stupid. I need to make an e-card, just one, that will not be posted on any site for anyone to customise it. I just want to send it out myself, with one message, to several people. The question is, do I simply make a flash movie and mail it out, or is there something else that needs to be done in order for it to look and feel like an ecard? Like is there a way to e-mail it so that whoever opens their email sees it right away, or does it have to be an attachment, or a link?
Any tips on that topic would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

Scratch Card
I've made a scratch card... similar to the lottery type tickets you buy in stores you can see it here:

http://www.interactiveevolution.com/kink/scratch.html

Now I need to fix this so I can control what numbers and how frequently they appear behind the scratch off grey area. I'd like to be able to use sevearl different images behind the scratch off and have a specific winning combination show up every 10th time the game is played, another combination every 25th time and another every 51st time. (10th, 25th and 51st are just for discussions sake. They may or may not be the real numbers). If a winning combination is uncovered, the visitor can click a button and be taken to a specific frame associated with the prize they win. This last part I know how to do by naming the frame and coding the button to take the play head there. Having the numbers/images appear in the way i want... I ahve no idea where to start.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Card Game

Card Shop
Hello,

I've been searching around and can't seem to find the answer that I'm look for.

I want to make a site that will let people buy cards.
Nothing too fancy, I just want the customer to pick a template and then pick from a list of pictures I have, let them type in the text that they want on the card. When they finished the design, I would like them to enter the amount of quantity and click the Submit/Buy button.

Now I'm stuck here, once they've click the Submit/Buy button, I just don't know what to do.
I don't know how to receive their orders, how to get their contact/delivery address etc.

Can anyone please direct me to the right place please?
Any info, Web sites would be a great help.

Thank you
Sol
