Flash :: Loader Hidden..?

Hidden Timer
i am having some students take a multiple choice test in flash tomorrow. it has 50 questions. i am having the results sent to my email. included with these results, i would like to know a few things about the amount of time it took for each student to complete the test.

i also would like a separate variable set at the end of 2 sections (end of directions and end of question 25 - 1/2 point). this way, i'll know how long the spent reading directions and how long the spent on the 2 halves of the whole test. i have played with the getTimer command, but haven't had the luck i was hoping for. any suggestions?

Hidden Pics
The problem I'm running into with ANY movie I attempt to create with Swish 2.0 is that there is always a "phantom" pic once I enter in more than 10-12 pics. Eactly what happens is that as I enter a new pic, I can see that there is that phantom image in the way, and it blocks off part of the screen (usually the middle) and I have to move new pics to one side. Now I've gone through the files to make sure all previous pics are faded out, but the problem is still there. What am I doing wrong?

Hidden Buttons
Help....
Currently have a MC with all my navigation buttons. This MC is a pull down tap. (you click the menu comes out). I got this far with no problems.

Problem..
Depending on what section I jump to on my timeline. I like for the viewer to see a red bar behind the button that corresponds to that section of the timeline. Again this buttons are inside my MC menu navigation.

Thank you in advanced.

Hidden Frames
I'm trying to incorporate the code from this tutorial:

http://www.robertpenner.com/experime...ackbutton.html

The tutorial is made so that you can use the browser back button, and still be in the flash movie. In the tutorial you have to generate a history of web pages. The tutorial uses a hidden frame to store HTML pages that generate a browser history.

What i dont understand is how to use a hidden frame. Can anyone explain that to me? Thanks!

[F8] Combobox Hidden
I'm using attachMovie to show a popup window in my flash file.

This popup window has a combobox on it and although it's showing I think the actual box is hidden by the box because when I click to open it the options are behind the box not ontop of it.

This is something to do with the depth of it - but I'm not sure what the right code would be or where it would go. How can I set the combobox to appear ontop of every thing else and where should I assign that?

thanks,

[F8] Loading Into A Hidden MC
I'm loading in several images from XML, I have a loader movie clip that displays until all the images have loaded and I'm loading them to empty movie clips that have _visibility set to false. The idea is when they are all loaded I set the visibility to true, only problem is that as soon as it loads the image I can see the empty clip. I think that it resets the _visibility property of the movie clip when loadMovie finishes. What can I do to hide the empty MC that I'm loading the external image into?

Getting Hidden Form Value.
Hey,

I was wondering if there was a way with actionscript to get the value of a hidden form field in a html page. For example:
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenfield1" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenfield2" value="2">
How could I get "hiddenfield1" with the value of "1" and "hiddenfield2" with the value of "2" into flash?

OR

If this isn't possible, how could I get the entire sourcecode of a given URL so that I could send it to php.

Thanks!

Hidden Frames ?
I'm planning to start a new project combining flash and html. At the moment I'm trying to figure how to do hidden frames where I will have navigation bar at the top in Flash, then when clicked on any link a hidden frame loads the new content without reloading the whole page.

I know how to create regular frames, but the one I wanna build can be placed anywhere with its own scrollbar.

here is a example of a site that uses this feature:

clicky

If anyone knows of a site that has a good tutorial on this please let me know.

Hidden Code
My question is silly. I am not a flash developer I am just here for fun. I visited the site www.levitated.net . I found it very interesting , there are so many open source .fla files to download but when I open them with flash it seems to me there is too little code against the beautiful animations appearing.
My question is : is the code hidden? or generically is there a way to hide code in flash? is it protected?

Thanks in advance.

? About Hidden Layers While I'm At It
I was searching for a way to make LAYERS hidden/visible through a/s.

* Example : on click of a btn two layers become hidden while one stays visible. Then upon click of another button the current LAYER becomes hidden and another layer becomes visible.....

i was thinking along the lines of...

PHP Code:

on (press) {
     this.hidden(layer1);
     this.visible(layer2);
     this.hidden(layer3);
}

Which obvoiusly is wrong but I dont know where to start with this. Thanks

Hidden Information
I'm currently working on an artistic project and have run into a slight set back. I need to load a collection of images in a grid and allow a user to choose a few of the images and then move on to something else based on the images. I'm trying to figure out how I can hide a variable or bit of information in the image object so that the flash script can determine the appropriate path.

Any ideas? or is more information needed?

Thanks,

Double Loader & One Instance Level Loader
Just sharing what I figured out.(which wasn't much but hey figured I'd post it anyway)

TASK1
I needed a preloader to load two seperate MC's into levels 1&2. Level 2 contains the interface which would change the MC on level 1.

TASK2
Once these two initial movies were loaded I then needed a single instance of a preloader that I could call upon for each subsequently loaded movie on level 1.

All the MC's have linkages so standard loaders would not start until 30%-40% of the MC was loaded.

I used a couple of files from oldnewbie.

http://odin.prohosting.com/~oldnew/f...ng/preload.zip

For TASK 1 I used the code from the above file but modified it a little.
I simply duplicated every line that referred to containerMC and called it containerMC2.Then at the end of the script instead of loading a single movie into level 0, I loaded the 2 MC's I had previously loaded into the containers onto levels 1 & 2. There's probably a much better way to do this - but it works

IF ANY OF YOU HAVE A BETTER SUGGESTION OR A WAY TO PRELOAD 2 MOVIES WITH LINKAGES INTO SEPERATE LEVELS WHERE THE PRELOADER MOVES FROM "Currently preloading movie 1" to "Currently preloading movie 2" WOULD BE AWESOME.

For TASK 2 I used another file from oldnewbie (though I can't recall which thread I found it in).

It's a One Instance Preloader for all subsequently loaded swf's.

The button code for loading a movie:

on(release) {
_root.preloader.gotoAndStop(2);
loadMovieNum("One.swf",1)
}

The preloader code:

FRAME 1

stop();

FRAME 2 (where the symbols are - same symbols as in the .zip file above)

this.onEnterFrame=function(){
//trace the percentage of the movie that has loaded
percent=(_level1.getBytesLoaded()/_level1.getBytesTotal())*100;

if(!isNan(percent)){
//trace(Math.ceil(percent)+"% loaded");
if (percent == 0) {
percent_display = "";
} else {
percent_display = Math.ceil(percent) + "% LOADED.";
}
this.loadbar._visible = true;
this.loadbar._xscale = percent;
if (percent > 1) {
this.reelmc._visible = true;
}
_level1.stop();
}
if(percent == 100){
this.gotoAndStop(1);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.reelmc._visible = false;
percent_display = "";
this.loadbar._visible = false;
_level1.play();
}
}
stop();

That's it. If you can use it, great.

Simple Loader Fails When Loading In An .swf Containing The Loader.
Sorry for the complicated topic. I got a .swf that loads in other .swfs. Rather than figuring out how to make a loader for loading .swfs I thought I'd just use a simple loader in the .swf I'm loading.

However, it doesn't work. It starts fully loaded but doesn't finish. Heres the AS:

ActionScript Code:
_root.stop();
PercentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100;
if (PercentLoaded != 100) {
bar._xscale = PercentLoaded;
} else {
_root.play();
}

Anyone got a clue? Or would anyone be willing to point me in the direction for a very simple .swf loader.

thanks!

HIDDEN PRELOADERS, STREAMING, AND MORE...
FELLOW DUDES.
you guys know sites like flash-styles . com and others who
right when you click enter, there's already wild cool stuff going on , and you don't even have to wait? well they must know some tricks on how to make hidden preloaders, how to just load enough of the movie for it to stream properly, etc. who knows anything about this subject? let's get some thread action here, because i think we all need to learn about this...flash is supposed to be even faster than html pages to load if only we knew how to stream and preload properly. i think the public don't care much for waiting for chunky preloads. who knows much about this?

(CGI) Passing Hidden Variables
Hi:

I've spent 4 days trying to get a Flash 5 movie to pass hidden variables to a CGI script without success. I have done this before in the past, and I previously had this same exact script and movie working, but it stopped working for some unknown reason. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me figure out why.

First, it is hosted with Netfirms, however, it is a pay account with full cgi-bin access. Second, the same script works fine from an HTML form, on Netfirms, and on another server I use. Third, the form action IS reaching the server, but the hidden variables are not. Instead, I keep getting a script error, saying that there is no data_order list specified. However, this is my script:

on (release) {
data_order = "name,submit_by,comments";
loadVariablesNum ("http://ekigroup.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/bnbform3.cgi",0,"POST");
}

I have also tried:

on (release) {
data_order = "name,submit_by,comments";
loadVariables ("http://ekigroup.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/bnbform3.cgi",this,"POST");
}

I'm not sure that this really matters, either way, since the form is being submitted, it's just that the "data_order" variable is not being passed.

The form is in an MC, inside of another MC, but as I already said, it worked previously. In that case, I had the hidden variable as a frame action in the 1st frame of the MC containing the form, but the same thing no longer works.

Here is the cgi's first check:

Code:
sub decode_vars
{
$i=0;
read(STDIN,$temp,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs=split(/&/,$temp);
foreach $item(@pairs) {
($key,$content)=split(/=/,$item,2);
$content=~tr/+/ /;
$content=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
$content=~s/ / /g;
$fields{$key}=$content;
if ($key eq "data_order") {
$content=~s/12//g;
$content=~s/15//g;
$content=~s/ //g;
$content=~s/ //g;
@sortlist=split(/,/,$content);
}

And here is the error I keep getting:

Code:

sub valid_data
{
if ($fields{'data_order'} eq "") #make sure we have work to do!
{
print "Content-type: text/html

";
print <<__W1__;

<H1>NO data_order list SPECIFIED!</H1>

__W1__
exit;
}

foreach $to_check (@mandatory) #test all required fields, bail on 1st bad
{
if ($fields{$to_check} eq "") {
if ($fields{'not_ok_url'} ne "") {
print "Location: $fields{'not_ok_url'}

";
exit;
}
else { &try_again; }
}
}

}

Here is the HTML form to the same script on the same server:

http://www.ekigroup.com/testform.html

Anybody have any ideas???

Thanks,

James
