Can You Save Text In A Projector If You Refer It To Word Document?
Hello!
Trying to figure out how to save text in a projector so when a user inputs some text into a field - then xits out of the file.exe and re-enters the projector it'll recall the same information they left.
Is this done by linking a word document and if so where can I find the code to do this?
Thank you

Any Tips For Importing Text From Microsoft Word?
Hi all -
Does anyone have any tips for getting text in Word documents into Flash? I am mostly creating web-based-training applications using Flash as the delivery platform, and that usually means getting handed Microsoft Word documents that contain all of the textual content of the training. The Word documents are structured in a storyboard-type format, with each "page" of the training written as a multi-column table in the document. For instance, the Word table will generally have table headers like this:
ID: contains unique page identifier, for example 220_10, 220_11, etc.
Description: contains description of what happens on this page, for example Multiple Choice Question, Audio-driven text bullet-build, etc.
Text: contains Word formatted text that will appear onscreen in the Flash "page". For example, "In this training module, you will learn how to..."
Graphics: describes the graphics or animation that will appear
Audio: usually contains the "script" of the voice-over audio
The problem is that generally, it's such a tedious procedure to copy/paste blocks of text between Word and into the .fla text fields, and then have to re-format the fonts, font sizes, text color, paragraph settings, etc, that generally we don't bother and simply re-type the text directly into Flash. This is obviously not the most efficient or error-free system of doing this (especially considering the spelling skills of our team members ), so I'm wondering how others might deal with this.
I expect that it would be considerably easier if the text in the Word document was much more rigidly structured, and not contained in multi-column tables, but I need to strike a balance between the Word documents serving the needs of being human-readable storyboards and being able to be brought into Flash without 1000 copy/paste operations. I don't have much hands-on experience with using XML with Flash, but from what I've read, it seems like maybe some sort of Word->XML->Flash procedure might make the process doable.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment you guys can shed on this.

Importing Data From Text Document
Is this *really* the only way to import data from a text document?
foto01_0001Title=Untitled&foto01_0001Date=Spring
2001&foto01_0001Medium=Blahblahblah&foto01VarLoade d=1
(imagine that you have 200 variables to enter this way)
Is there another, easier, more logical way of doing this?
thanks in advance....

Firing Off A Word Document
I've got a standalone flash .exe that is supposed to open up word documents on a keypress. The precise document to open is generated dynamically based on info in a .txt file.
My problem is that is seems to work totally randomly... Sometimes it needs 2 clicks to fire it, sometimes 1, sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Could someone have a quick look at my code and tell me if I'm doing it right?
Button Code
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum ("data.txt", 0);
getURL (Area, "_blank");
}
data.txt contains
Area=areareport.doc;
Many Thanks!

Hello all,
I'm looking into a little experimental project which will involve a dynamically created Word document. Does anyone know is this is possible in Flash? Or at a more basic level, is it possible to create a binary blob and have Flash present a 'Save as' dialogue box to the user?
Thanks!

Launching A Word-document.
Hi all,
I'm building an interactive e-learing application.
One of the parts includes a little boy jumping around.
What a want to do is, to lunch a Microsoft Word-Document
when I click the child. The document, let's call it "file.doc"
is located in a subfolder called "documents".
Both the swf-file and the "file.doc"-file is located in an
webserver.
Does anyone have any clue how to do this? Is it possible ?
I've read most of the posts here, that might help me.
But all I found was if I wanted to make an "exe" file out of it.
Cheers,
Fredrik
How Do I Upload This MIcrosoft Word Document To The Web?
Here is the problem. I am so frustrated with this, it is beyond belief. I am hoping you can help.
I have a microsoft word document. It has five pictures in it.
I want to upload it to this free website server that I am using.
First off, I don't know how to make the word document the index page of my website, because to make it my index page, I have to give it a .html, or .htm ending, and that screws up the word format.
SOoooo.... I tried to convert the word document to a web page....to html. I did this, and uploaded it. But it refuses to show any pictures. When I convert it, it seems to store the picture files in a seperate folder.
What do I have to do to get this word document up on this website?
Please help.
I Need To Bring Up A Word Document Into Flash
Hi,
I have made a button in a flash presentation that is going to be put onto a CD. The CD will include a word document that will pop up when the user clicks on the button that I made. The reason for this is so that if the information needs to be updated one day, only the actual word document needs editing. Therefore I don't need to edit anything in Flash. There are about 40 different documents that need to be popped up so this would be awesome if it can be done. I still want my original window to be open. Is it possible to make Flash open Microsoft wordpad and then open the necessary document in it.
Thank you so much for any help that I can get.
Happy Christmas

Word Document Or Pdf File In Flash
I have created a Flash CBT that has an assessment at the end. If they pass
the assessment, they can print out a User Access Form which will have their
name, date, score, and some other pertinent pieces of information. I have
this User Access Form in both Word and PDF format. And I know that I can
open a Word or PDF file from Flash ... but I need it to be populated with
the information that was gathered from within Flash ... so I'm trying to
figure out how to bring these files into Flash.
Is it possible to put a Word document, or a PDF file into a Flash file? If
so ... how?
And if not ... is it possible to send data from Flash to Word ... so that
their personalized data will already be in the document when it opens?
Or ... any other ideas that might serve my purpose here?
The only thing I could think of to do was to turn this file into a bitmap
and then use the bitmap in Flash ... with dynamic text fields in the
appropriate places on a layer above the bitmap. The problem with this is
that the quality of the bitmap is not as crisp and clean as a Word or PDF
file would be.
Thanks in advance.

Link To Word Document Problem
I have a flash resume that I made and I am having a little trouble with linking to a Word document. I am 100% sure the link is correct, however on some browsers it says page not found initially (but with the correct link in the address bar). Then when I click refresh in the browser, it finds the Word Document. It seems to only do this with the one Word document for some reason.
Here is my code for the link:
on (release) {
getURL("http://enginecontrol.dyn.ee/CurrentResume.doc", "_blank");
}
The link itself is a symbol. I had to make it one to expand the click area. I had it as just text before but it was very hard to click the button.
So is this a bug in Flash MX or Internet Explorer? I'm really baffled because my PDF link works fine.
Here is my movie if you want to take a look at it:

Thanks for the help in advance.
