Flash :: How To Create Javascript For Log In Visits

Monitor Visits?
This is, I think, a pretty straight forward question. I want to add a popup to my site (not the problem) that visitors can enter their name and email address to be notified of site additions or changes.

THEN, hopefully, I can also add a cookie that can tell if they have been there before so they don't get the popup again.

My actionscripting knowledge isn't super developed, so I'm looking for a little bit of a newbie style explaination.

Thanks in advance.

Need To Know Who Visits My Site
Hi everybody,
I am setting up a site with a username/password protected area, and I was wondering if there is anyway that when somebody logs in, it saves their username so I can check in and see who has gone into the protected area...

Does anybody know how to do this, or can you point me to a tutorial?

Thanks in advance.

Need To Know Who Visits My Site

I am setting up a username/password protected area on my Flash site, and I was wondering if there was anyway that when somebody logs in, I get a record of their username, so I can tell who has been entering the protected area.

Has anybody done this before, or can you lead in the direction of a good tutorial? Thanks in advance!

Visits Counter In MX
visits counter in MX. Is it possible? I never saw one in a Flash web page! if anyone knows anything about...

Thanks in advance

Visits Counter
This visit counter is based on tutorial by Lionbichstudio.com( the web site is currently offline) for Flash MX and I?m using Flash 8 Pro. When I start LS .fla everything works ok but when I make my .fla it dosen?t work. The resul of visits is NaN. First I changed publish settings from Flash 8 to Flash 6 but nothing.

The .fla file has two layers ( 1.actions, 2. txt). In txt layer there are two dynamic textbox`s one has text "Visits number" and second is empty with instance name visited.

On actions layer:

Code:

mySharedObj = SharedObject.getLocal("visits");
mySharedObj.data.visitCount++;
visited.text = mySharedObj.data.visitCount;
mySharedObj.flush();

Thanks

Reporting Visits, Hits Etc.
Hi all,

I am working on a site that was made by someone else.

The problem is that at this point I am not able to log visits, hits etc and run a report using (for example) WebTrends. I know that it is possible to do this and I have some semi informational instructions on how to do it.

My question is:

How can I take what is already there and cut that up into many smaller 'movies' so that on each click I can load those movies, hence, the browser will send a request and the server can log that request.

Like I said I know the path to take, but I am not sure how I can cut the "big" movie into little small ones.

Any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Nik

Flash Visits Counter

I need to make a counter for a flash site in a free host.
any help welcome

Tracking Visits/Usage
I'm working on my first project in Flash for a client who wants an interactive cd. I know everything he wants is possible except for collecting data for tracking uses/visits. Data such as time on cd, what they clicked, operating system, etc. From my search on this subject the only thing I've come up with to date is this site http://www.flashstatistics.com/

What I would like to know is where should I be looking to collect, store and send the data and then what program should I learn to decipher the data sent?

Right now I'm thinking that I should be using a lot of vars and some kind of db program.

Any direction and/or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

Hot Counter - Can It Show If Someone Visits A Scene
hi,

i have a flash website that has two swf's. the second swf has three scenes. is it possible to have a hit counter that increments if a certain point in a scene is reached rather than just checking if the second swf is loaded? if it is then it would give a clearer idea as to what the user did on the website.

i'd appreciate any thoughts on this.

cheers

Simply Count Visits And Date Of Visit
Hi there!

I am a beginner but I successfully have set up a Flash-PHP-MySQL login process which functions perfectly.

I want to know what I must add to my PHP Script in order to:
1 - Add 1 to an appropriate column in the row corresponding to the visitor each time the visitor loggins and...
2 - Insert the date of this visit which replaces, of course, the date of the preceeding visit.

I know of course how to insert new columns to my table and I also know how to pass variables from Flash (MX not MX2004) to PHP.

If needed, I can post here the PHP Script I use.

Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards

Show Preloader Everytime S.O. Visits My Web Page?
Hi!

I have two preloaders working in my web site.One for the whole movie and one for the sound file.IF You access my web site for the first time you see the preloader, but if you come to back to visit my web site again, since the web site is already inside the cache of your computer, you wont see the preloader again.

Is there any way to show the preloader everytime someone visits my web site he/she sees the preloader working?

Using A Shared Object To Track Time/Visits (AS2)
Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. I'm a designer/developer about to learn AS3, but for now I'm still cobbling things together with my limited knowledge of AS2.

My overall goal: I have an intro animation on a page that ends on a frame with buttons linking to more HTML pages. I want it to play once upon an initial visit, but then to jump to that final frame with the buttons upon returning to that page.

It's easy enough make this happen with the Shared Object, but the problem is that if I set one to indicate that the site's been visited, it's pretty much permanent until someone flushes the SO library. The client likes the animation not replaying when hitting "back," but they want it to play again upon the next browser session.

Since there doesn't seem to be a way to control the SO library on a browser session basis (like a "clear" instead of a saving on browser close), I am attempting to use a Shared Object to create a timestamp that will check to see how long it's been since they last visited. If it's been more than, say, five minutes, the timestamp will reset and the intro will play once more.

I had some help from a friend, and this what we've come up with. The problem is... well, it's not working. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!

My preloader is in a separate initial scene. One the first frame I have:
Code:

var today = new Date();
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("time");
var period = 1200000;

var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
loadText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "%";

My second frame:
Code:

if(_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal())
{
if (!((_root.today-_root.so.data.val)<_root.period))
{
_root.so.data.val = _root.today;
_root.so.flush();
_root.gotoAndPlay("main", 1); //full animation
}
else
{
_root.so.data.val = _root.today;
_root.par = "skip";
_root.gotoAndStop("main", 1201); //my ending frame
}
}

else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Create, Delete, Create Event Handlers
Hi,

At the moment I create an onEnterFrame function to ease a movie clip into view. I then delete it. I want to be able to recreate a similar onEnterFrame function later to swoosh the movie clip out of view. At the moment weird things happen when I try and do the second onEnterFrame. Am I doing something illegal here?
I know I could put this all in the original onEnterFrame, but I don't wanna be wasting processor time doing an if statement every frame to work out if it's time to swoosh out the movieclip. Or should I not worry because that's negligible cpu time?

Create A
Any help with this would be very, very appreciated.

I'm looking to create a flash animation that would allow the user to "scratch off" a section of the animation, revealing things underneath. I've yet to figure out a way to allow user input to change the alpha value or visibility of a part of a clip, so I figure the only way to allow the user to scratch something off is to have each pixel be its own clip (with its own alhpa value and visibility).

You can see the obvious problem here; running a duplicateMovieClip command 600 times takes forever and tends to crash Flash.

I've seen this done in Director, but I figure that's just one of those Director features that Flash lacks.

Any help at all -- plans of attack, etc. -- would be much help.

Thanks,
Dan

Create Xml?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently created a quiz that pulls its questions and answers from xml files.

Now I am hoping to create a second flash application that allows the user to create the xml files. I have been able to set up a user interface that allows the user to type their questions and answer into various text boxes. When they are finished they press a button and using the createElement, and appendChild codes the xml is created.

I am having a problem with the next step. How do I "save" the xml the user has created to an outside file that can latter be picked up by the Quiz. (The whole thing will be installed on the user's hard drive from a CD).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How To Create XML On The Fly With PHP ?
Hi,

I am creating a directory browser ,Actually my flash reads the directory lists from the XML file called "tree_source.xml". this xml file created by a php file . Now i want modify the php file in such a way that flash directly reads the directory structure from the php file inorder to speed up the browsing.

This is my flash script.....

// load and assign data source
myTreeDataProvider = new XML();

// ignore whitespace in XML (important)
myTreeDataProvider.ignoreWhite = true;

// load external XML file
myTreeDataProvider.load("tree_source.xml");

// onLoad handler for XML data
myTreeDataProvider.onLoad = function()
{
myTree.dataProvider = myTreeDataProvider;
}

// set up tree listener
myTreeListener = new Object();

This is the PHP Script to create XML

$photodir = "/albumshan";
$path = getcwd().$photodir;

$fp=fopen("tree_source.xml","w");
fwrite($fp,"<root>");

structure($path,$fp,$path);

fwrite($fp,"</root>");
fclose($fp);

// Function
function structure($rootdirpath,$fp,$dir)
{

if($dp = @opendir($rootdirpath))
{
for($i=0;($file=readdir($dp))!==false;$i++)
{
if (is_dir($rootdirpath."/".$file) && $file != "." && $file != "..")
{
fwrite($fp,"<node label="".$file."">");
structure($rootdirpath."/".$file,$fp,$dir);
fwrite($fp,"</node>
");
}

}
}
closedir($dp);

}
