Problem In Running A Flash MX-2004 Application On Windows 98 Adn Windows NT.
Hi all
I have this problem ......here it goes.....
Actually I developed a Flash MX-2004 application which has to run on both mac and windows platforms.
This application does the funciton of a dictionary and has 46 xml files and close to 13000 sound files.
This application runs fine on most Windows platform, however it doesnt work on Windows 98 and Windows NT where though the intro animation comes & the home screen loads....the application part of the program doesnt load.

Why is this so??? I am totally clueless...please help....
Do I have to make the intro and exit animations as separate swf files adn call them????
Please help....

Flash Popup Adverts/windows That Aren't Windows
Hi there

Just wondering if anyone knows any links to tutorials to make those flash adverts you find on websites? They are actual popup windows but flash boxes that appear above a webpage.

I think they use div layers as well as some flash? But im not sure where to find a tutorial!

For an example visit:

http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/index.jsp

(you might need to click on several pages down the left to get one to appear)

Any help on this would be a great help.

Thanks

What's The Best Way To Make Popup Windows In Flash?
I want to make popup windows in Flash.
For examples, when a button is clicked, I want a window to popup.
When the window that poped up is clicked, I want it to minimise and then go away.

I can think of doing this using the timeline.
But surely there's got to be a better way?
I've tried going through the tutorials and movies but can't find anything suitable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

How Do You Make Pop-up Windows Through Links On A Flash Page?
My band's webpage is organized such that there is a list of shows that we played. I want to be able to click on a show, and have a 350x500 pixel pop-up window with no Internet Explorer menu or scroll functions to appear with the thumbnails of the pictures. Then when one of the thumbnails is clicked, I want the picture to open in another pop-up window that is 800x600. Here is the first boxes with thumbnails: http://altbeggar.brainchasm.com/images/20030725.html

Now if you click on the thumbnails, the pictures open in a properly sized window, with no Back, Forward, Reload, menus, etc. The problem is making the page WITH the thumbnails a certain size (350x500). Can this be done. I am not much into Java-script. I am using Studio MX and used Dreamweaver for the pics pages. On the thumbnails, I did a onClick openURL property which let me specify the size of the window and gave me the option of not having the menu bars.

Interesting Issue With Flash And Windows - Flash Start With Windows?
Hey guys,
I'm programming a flash application that would run on a user's desktop (using MDM or similar programs to convert to a transparent background EXE).
My client would like to have the users select weather they want to application to start with windows or not. I would like to know how to make my flash application start with Windows without manually adding it (the users won't have to add it to the startup folder themselves). Can flash write to the registry? Can a third party program do it for me? The client wanted to EXE to run without an installation. Thank you very much!

How To Create 'Windows' Windows With Flash?
I'd like to create a windows system like the one we use on windows. This is what i really like:
Yo have some buttons. When u click on any of 'em a popup window opens (inside could be text, image or movieclips or all of 'em). Last window it opens always shows up on top and if u select one that it's behind this comes automaticly to the top. I'd love too if u could minimize 'em and also if eacho one opens into a new swf.
There is a example of what I want here:
http://senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.49
But in that example everything is in the same swf, and as I said some lines before I want each window to open into another swf.

...........hope u can help me. Thanks!

Launching Flash Windows From Flash Windows
Please can someone help me.

I am trying to create my own personal portfolio on cd. The main interface is a swf and contains a list of buttons (which are the titles of my work). When these buttons are pressed I want to launch a new flash window ontop of the existing one containing the piece of work.

I have looked at javascript popup windows using dreamweaver but have had no luck. I don't know whether this is because you have to use http's or that im thick and have no knowledge of javascript.

If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I am using Flash MX if it makes a difference. If the solution is using javascript or html can please explain it to me like a 5 year old because I don't know what im doing.

Cheers

Windows Emulator.... Having Trouble With Minimizing The "windows".
I'm creating a website that will behave kinda' like Windows. I have a basic menu that when you click on an option, a window will open up. You can drag the windows and close them. However, I'm having trouble with the minimizing part.

Lets say that I have 3 "windows" (each is a movie clip) called "win1", "win2", and "win3". Each window has an instance of a minimize button. When you click the button, the window should minimize to the bottom of the screen, and line up in the order that it was minimized in (just like Windows). I figured out how to get them to minimize, but I can't get them to sort themselves correctly.

Lets say that I just minimized all three windows in this order:
win1, win2, win3

Now, if I click on win1 to maximize it, I want win2 and win3 to shift over to the left to take the place of win1. Then, if I minimize win1 again, it should go to the end of the row. Resulting in this order:
win2, win3, win1

Does anyone know of any code that I could make these windows sort themselves when they are minimized and maximized?

Thanks!

Windows To Mac To Windows Problem
I'm a Mac user and I'm working on a large project with a client who is using Windows XP. My client is creating some Flash content in Windows and then sending the .swfs to me to incorporate into the site.

These files play fine on my computer. I upload them to my web server and my Windows-based clients are able to view them over the web. However, if I email the .swfs back to my client, they won't run on the Windows computer. This is a problem, since it's my client who will ultimately be hosting the site.

There is no problem with .swfs that I publish on my computer and then email to my client.

Any ideas?

Pop Up Windows In Flash
Guys,

How do I make the pop up windows from a Flash, that only shows the window itself, not the browser features. eg. back, stop, the address bar, etc. I already know how to do it the regular way, but I don't want the browser buttons to show it. Just the window itself. I'm stumped.

Ciao,

Hi guys
Is it possible to do a javascript style pop-up window from Flash 5. It has to have a specified size, no address bar,no buttons, no status bar and maybe even specify position in which it will pop-up.???

Pop Up Windows From Flash
hi all..
Firstly... lemme guide you to the site that brought me to this forum..

http://www.midgreyphotography.com

There in the portfolio section.. this is what I wanna do...

When a user clicks on an image over the tweened "FILM STRIP".. I want to open a pop-up browser window that would be aligned to the center of the screen with a bg color and windows border color of BLACK. Also, can I change the Titlebar color of windows? Please do let me know guys... for I've been breakin' my head over it.
Also, I don't want to open any HTML page...
I'm planning on using this javascript over each of the tweened buttons...

<b>java script:NewWindow=window.open('images/image01. jpg','newWin','width=400,height=300,toolbar=No,loc
ation=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,full
screen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0); </b>

kindly let me know what modifications would I have to make to the script.. PUHLEEEEZE...

ALSO - Can I get away without specifying the Width and Height of the jpeg images I'm calling? that way I wouldn't have to bother about finding out image dimesions?

Fix The Windows Res. With Flash?
Hi Fellow flashers,

I'm working on a CD-Rom flash presentation and because everybody uses a different screenresolution in windows i wondered if it's possible to set the windows screenres. when you start the presentation.

For example, somebody has a 1280*1024 screenres. and starts the presentation. Is it possible to set his screenres. to 1024*768 so everything will look like it's supposed to be?

It would be nice if their screenres. jumped back to 1280*1024 when they close the presentation, but it's not necassary.

I know flash can always be set to fullscreen, but images like jpg/gif/bmp etc. get crappy that way, so that's not a solution for me.

Hope somebody can help me out!

Thanx in advance,
ACM
