Detect A Person's Resolution/make Page Work For Many Res's?
Can anyone briefly describe how one makes a website that will dispplay appropriately for many resolutions? I know (*think) that java can be used to sniff out a person's browser and that a website can be coded to work based on the person's browser.
I'm not quite satisfied to put a note on the front that denotes a minimum reolution. I figure a good rule of thumb is to not use objects or images larger than 1024 x 768.
Thanks for reply!

Gotoandstop(1)
How Do I Check For Letters Entered ...?
ok
i have 3 elements
1.input text field
2.dynamic text field
3.button
now i want to transfer only letters entered in the input text field to the dynamic text field.
i found a way to transfer only numbers with the following code
on (press)
{
if (Number (Input.text))
{
dynamic.text = Input.text;
}
}
BUT how do i do the reverse?
simply adding the "!" in front of the "Number(Input.text)" blocks numbers buy themselves but not letter and numbers (ex: "1a")
ok
so anyone have the answer?
thanks

Verify That Text Is Entered
I'm developing a movie which:
#1 asks the user to type a question into a text box
#2 checks to see if there is text in that text box
#3 if YES, then go to a random frame in the movie - or - if NO, then display a message saying the user HAS to enter a question into the text box.
I'm really new at this (d'uh) and assume that this is possible. yes?
thanks in advance for your input!
How Do I Know If I Have Entered A Specific Frame
I can't seem to figure out how I know if I have entered a specific frame for the first time. Actually, I'm not even sure how to figure out how I know if I have entered a frame at all. The onEnterFrame() function is called every tick of the framerate of the movie. Any other suggestions? thanks.
Verify A Number Has Been Entered

Making Sure User Has Entered Numbers
Hello,
I have some boxes that also have some error codes attached to them(if a box is left blank, if the values are too high, etc) but one error I do not have is if the user types in a letter or letters instead of just numerals. How would I be able to add an error code that basically says "if ia = A-Z, then return "blahblah" error message"?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Only Allow Numbers Entered, Phone Mask?
Is there a way to do this. I've played with the input box component flash has to offer couldnt find such a property or a mask.
Email validation i did myself for the other input. since its a lot easier, but phone... well i cant let users enter anything but the phone number into it and cant seem to find a way to make this component do that.
so my question i guess is what i am trying to do possible in flash and if it is whats the way? our c# builder has it, i thought flash would have something like that too.

Help With Reading User Entered Data
hey guys hoping someone can help me with this or point me towards some tutorial ive had a look and can't see exactly what i need...
I have a calculator that calulates body mass index. it works fine with predefined values but not when users input the values

Text Entered In Textinput Not Visible
I have seen a number of posts on this board and others on this topic but I have not been able to find a solution to the problem. The form is very simple. Nothing is added programmatically as everything is on the stage and there is no actionscript addressing the fields. I am using an ezForm component by Flashloaded. I have done this several times before and it worked fine by just dragging the components to the stage without any other work but now it just won't work. Is there something I am missing?

Check Users Entered Answers
I tried code like this (This may not be exact as I removed it when it did not work)...
if (scoreA = 3 && scoreA = 0){
score = score +1}
else
{score = score - 1}
I'm assuming its the if statement that's wrong how should I check the two entry's that the user makes in two text boxes?
As for the entry answers being 3-1 can you guess what the question is, give you a clue it is a football quiz covering 2006-2007!!!
Saving Text Entered In Flash Onto A Txt Or Php
I've done a search on this forum for this but so far no luck concerning on how to do this the php way, only cookies...
Is there a way to save text that people input to a textbox into a .txt using .php so it can be loaded into the textbox everytime somebody sees it using the loadVars function?
Here is what I have so far but it won't work... I'm very much php illiterate.
PHP Code:
$filename = $ai.".txt";
$dir = "/";
$fullpath = $dir.$filename;
$handle = fopen ($fullpath, "w+");
fwrite($handle, $_POST["text"]);
fclose($handle);
I named the php file "comments.php" Then in Flash I put this...
ActionScript Code:

Activating A Movie When Text Is Entered.
Hi! This is my first time here.
I have an .swf file that is going to serve as a login for a new website being built. The .swf will contain a movie symbol and two text fields underneath it. The idea is for the movie symbol to play at different points on its timeline based on what is being typed in the text fields below. For instance, when someone is typing in their user name, the movie file will start at a certain point on the timeline and when they type in their password, it will jump to another point in the timeline. I figure thats the easy part and I would settle for just that.
The complicated part is this: Ultimately, I want the movie symbol to jump to those points on its timeline based on how many characters have been typed into the text fields. For example, if someones user name is "christoper", I need the file to play the movie once someone has typed in "chri" and then jump to the next section of its timeline after they've typed in "stopher", and so on down through the password.
Can this be done?

Any Way To Load New Movies Into Target (when Frame Entered)?
Hi...
I have a small prob. with frame actions...I am not too good with actionscript and basicly done my whole movie on tutorials and examples, but now i am running out of these.
I need to load a ext. movie into target when frame is entered...
Ok the goal i want to achieve is that:
when my main movie is loaded i have a another movie loaded into target movie right away (without pressing any buttons, it just loads by itself)
The point is that my all other content is loaded into the same target and when I load something else it dissappears because something else is loaded into the same target.
And also when i go back to the first scene ( i have three scenes in my main movie) it loads the "default movie" by itself...does this make any sense...
thanks for ANY help...

Can I Limit Which Keys Can Be Entered In A Text Field?
Hello!
I have a question. I have an imput text where user should be able to type only LETTERS, no numbers, no punctuation.
I thought I could achieve it by setting de embed fonts to lower an upper case letters but i get this strange result: user can type letters, but also some characters (like comma, but not others like ; ) and some numbers!!! Yes, they can type 7,8,9 but not 6!!!
Can someone guide me how to achieve this?
Button Text Changes Size After Target URL Entered
I'm new to MX and just purchased a nice template off TemplateMonster to play with and it seems every time I add a URL to any button the font grows in size. I've tried for over an hour to figure out why with no luck and could really use some help.
If I remove the URL (the only chnage I made) the font size doesn't restore :/ and I am forced to copy over the .fla with my stored copy.

[CS3] Run User-entered Actionscript From Input Text Box
i am using actionscript 2, so any code examples need to be in that... unless it is only something which can be achieved in AS 3, in which case it would be impossible to incorporate into my current project, and i also have almost no knowledge of AS 3, but it would still be useful to know
Hi... i have been trying to research this but so far i haven't been able to find anything on the subject
basically... i want to have an input text box, for example with a variable name of 'enterscript' and when the user clicks a button i want whatever actionscript has been entered into the 'enterscript' text box to be run as if it were the on (release) action of the button
this would then mean that the user can write actionscript and see what it does to the movie as they do it, which would be extremely useful for me, and it would also mean that you can dynamically change what the button does... any suggestions???
Contact Form Send Without All Fields Entered
I have a contact form set up with 5 fields and it can only be sent if all 5 fields are filled in. Not all my clients want to enter a phone number or wedding date, so I need to know how to change the action script so that it will still send if only 2 or 3 of the text fields have been entered. I think the following is the action script I need to edit -- I just don't know how;
_submit.onRelease = function(){
if (txt1.text == txt1.startText ||
txt2.text == txt2.startText ||
txt3.text == txt3.startText ||
txt4.text == txt4.startText ||
txt5.text == txt5.startText) {
clearFields();
gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
_this.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
clearFields();
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
Thank you for any help you can send.

How Do I Validate The User-entered Content Of A TextInput Component?
A great deal is riding on getting this to work, so any help is much appreciated. I asked Geezer last week, and, may he be praised, he actually responded to me. What a great guy. Unfortunately, he could not help with this. So here I am reposting in prayerful hope that someone with take the time to help me.
I need to create a movie in which the user enters text into a TextInput field in Frame1, and then clicks a button in that Frame. When the buuton is clicked, the text is validated. If the text entered equals a specific string, then the movie advances to another frame, Frame2. If not, the movie advances to a different frame, Frame3.
This is what I have created so far:
In Frame 1-
Dragged a TextInput component to the Stage, named it myText.
Dragged a Button component to the stage, named it myButton.
Attached the following actionscript to the button:
code:
on (release) {
if(myText.text == 'newbie') {
gotoAndStop("2");
} else {
gotoAndStop("3");
}
In Frame 2-
Created Layer2.
Dragged a Label component to the stage, named it Label1.
Changed text parameter of Label1 to "Click the Next button to continue."
In Frame 3-
Created Layer3.
Dragged a Label component to the stage, named it Label2.
Changed text parameter of Label2 to "Not correct."
I play the movie. The button blinks like mad and I get the following error message:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release)
I'm using FlashMX 2004.
I really need to ge this working. Please post here or send a direct e-mail.
Thanks very much in advance.

Create PDF Pre-filled With User Entered Data From Flash?
Hi,
I am working on a Flash 8 cd-rom based presentation that has a form in it. After the viewer enters their information into the form fields my client is requesting that they be able to print a document with the information that was entered filled into the right fields.
They have been talking about this printable document being a pdf. Is it possible to dynamically fill in info from flash to a pdf? And will this work from a cd-rom?
I have found a component named blazePDF which seems to be able to do this, but I wonder is there is a better component/way to accomplish this?
Is there a better way, like using flashpaper? I don't have any experience with Flashpaper, the one time I tried it, the results looked terrible. The client wants this to print sharp.
Any help or advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Can Cuepoints Be Entered In Any Order In MediaDisplay Component Inspector?
I'm going to adding a LOT of cuepoints to the Flash 7 compatible MediaDisplay component using the component inspector window, since that's the only way I can see to do it (is that right?). After I finish inputing them, invariably I'll be adding more that'll reside between the existing cuepoints. Can I just add them to the end or do the cuepoints have to be listed in order of time? It doesn't seem like the inspector lets me insert cuepoints between two existing ones, and I'd hate to have to delete all my work just to put in a few more. Thanks.

Input Text Fields Change Colour When Entered - Great But What If....?
I am uploading a file with input text field that changes colour when you click in it - this is great, but what if i wanted the following:
in the initial state, the text box is grey as you can see, but when i click inside it, it fades to pink instead of suddenly just changing to pink. And likewise, when i click outside the box it fades back to grey.
You will see what i mean if you view the file.
it's mx not mx2004
Don't know if this would be better in the actionscript forum, but well it's here.
Thanks.

Knowing Exact Url Entered By User So They Can Be Directed To Specific Parts Of Site
Using both flash 4 and flash mx.
I have several domains which I want to use as aliases to my site.
For example, let's say the main site is everything.com. Then let's say I have several aliases, e.g. music.com, flowers.com, sports.com, etc. which will all direct the visitor to everything.com.
However, I want to know which url (alias) the visitor entered and then turn it into a variable so that I can call the appropriate movies. e.g. visitor enters music.com, they'll be directed to everything.com and then music.swf will be called.
I tried using flash to call a php program but that doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Fill A Webpage Html Form With Information Entered In A Flash Movie

Is it possible ???

Playing Specific Sound Files Based On Letters In User Entered Word
Hi
I had an idea.
I was thinking that it may be possible to create a primitive, yet usable actionscript based text to speech system for Flash movies (One that is platform independent).
The biggest problem that I could think of off hand is this.
Is it possible to right a series of actionscript commands that would play a collection of certain sound files based on what word or words the user has entered?
For example:
If the user types "Red Pen"
Can actionscript tear apart those two words and play sound files "Arr", "ee", "Dee", "Pee", "ee" and "EN"?
If it is possible, and if someone could help me out on it, then I'll start figuring out what phonetic sounds I'll need to record and program, and see if I can't build a simple text to speech program for flash movies.
I have no immediate commercial application for it, and I don't plan on one.
So if I can pull it off it'll be free to everyone, source code and all. Of course, it may be in my voice, but it shouldn't be hard to take what I plan to do and use it as a template for anyone else's voice recordings.
I hope its possible, seems likely enough. I think I saw somewhere where actionscript could separate the letters of a word from each other, and from there you just need something along the lines of a series of if statements. But I don't know where to find the code needed.
I'd appreciate any help you may be capable of offering.
