Flash :: Need Heeeelp: Php &flash

Heeeelp Me
OK this is the rollover code for a drop down sub menu.

It kinda works except the prevFrame doesnt seem to work and it seems excessive code.... especially when I have 5 buttons and id have to do this 5 times!!!

Code:
_root.menu_mc.multiBut.onRollOver = function() {
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe<53) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.dropMenu.nextFrame();
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe == 53) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.dropMenu.stop();
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe>53) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.dropMenu.prevFrame();
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe == 1) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
}
};
}
};
}
};

_root.menu_mc.homeBut.onRollOver = function() {
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe<79) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.dropMenu.nextFrame();
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe == 79) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.dropMenu.stop();
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe>79) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.dropMenu.prevFrame();
if (_root.dropMenu._currentframe == 1) {
_root.dropMenu.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
}
};
}

Heeeelp
I will be SOOOOOO grateful if anyone can help me with this problem..it drives me crazy..and I have wasted SOO much time trying to figure out whats wrong..with no luck

I am simply trying to make a "slide show" on a flash site. Making buttons for the user to click..everytime the user clicks on for example "bathroom", I want a photo of a bath room to fade in..when he clicks "hall" i want a photo of a hall to fade in and so on..I am using " insert - timeline effects - transition - fade in " wich should be the easiest thing in the world..HOWEVER, it is NOOOOT!

Keep getting this error message when I try to apply the effect to the last (slide (.jpg)) photo:

Error opening URL "file:///hard drive/Users/din_clown/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/Configuration/preview1.swf"
Exception in reverse: TypeError: tmpFrame has no properties

It is SOOOOOO annoying..the effect attaches perfectly fine to all the other .jpg..why should it all of a sudden not want to get attached to the last one???

Does anyone have any idea what can be wrong?!?

I will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO grateful for any help

Heeeelp XMLSocket
Hi !

I am developping a 4 players network card game.

I have a java server that open a socket and a flash client that connect on it, my problem is:

- the java server is hosted by a friend who hosts my website too ...

- when I try my flash client from my HD, the XMLSocket.connect(host,port) works .... when I try it from a webpage It does not...

- I read in the help doc, that if the movie is hosted on the same machine on which the (java) server is, I can specify "null" as the host param of the XMLSocket.connect() function, but that doesn't work too heeeeeeeeeelp (I know nothing about flash and security and perhaps is the source of my problem...)

ps: forgive my english I usually speak french...

Heeeelp Meeeee
ok a bit too much drama perhaps, but i am really lost on why my button commands on MC's won't work correctly. everyone tells me the code looks fine, but I get the same error from the debugger anyways.

on a MC, I have the following code:

this.onPress = function () {
gotoAndStop(2);
};

but i always get this debugger error:

**Error** Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
this.onPress = function () {

I can't figure out what I need to change in that code then. The error doesn't make a lot of sense to me since I don't know what on handler should/even could go there. Help please!!!??? (

Preloader Sequencing, Heeeelp
I have read the tut on the preloader function in the best of Kirupa, seems logical but how do I do this...

I need a 'cover' to scroll up over the current image, this will contain the % loaded figures and a little animation, then when it's loaded the 'cover will scroll back down'.

Would I make this cover movieclip and put my animation and the dynamic text box for the % loaded inside. Then would I call the animation from the preloader function? If now how?

I have attached a quick diagram to help explain.

Please someone help, no one ever answers my posts

STILL-HUGE ACTIONSCRIPT BUGGER HEEEELP
Hi Folks,
I am relatively new to flash- but not a neophyte. I'm attempting to do a movie that PRE-loads before playing... Right now, I'm using the method from the Technote at

http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...or_frame01.htm

which uses the

frame1:
if (_framesLoaded == _totalFrames) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

frame2:
gotoAndPlay(1)

method, looping the first two frames of the scene to check the loading. I put the two frame loading clip in the timeline on it's own layer. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL DIRECTIONS ON THE TECHNOTE TO THE LETTER. And my actionscript looks EXACTLY the same as it does in the example windows.

Buuuut:
WHEN TESTING WITH STREAMING:
-The movie begins to play after only 20% has loaded, thus not satisfying the "_totalframes" qualifier I've input.
-If I specify the frame number (instead of using "_totalframes"), "gotoAndplay (3)" seems to be ignored, and playback never advances beyond the loading movie clip- even when the streaming info tells me the appropriate frame number has been loaded a long time ago.

WHEN TESTING WITHOUT STREAMING:
-all of the preloading commands/movieclips are skipped (as is expected), but the movie starts playing on FRAME 98, regardless of the "gotoandplay (3)" command!!! I WANT FRAME 3 DAMMIT, FRAME 3, AHHHH!!!!!

Neither Frame 98, nor any other frames (including those embedded in movie clips) have ANY labels or actions attatched to them, except for the two frames for the loading at the begining of the movie. I am using only frame numbers (not lables) to direct my Actionscript.

Other movies of mine with the same set up do not experience these problems, what the heck is going on? Why are the Actionscripts not performing as the technote says? Are there other ways of doing this that will avoid these problems? Is my Flash 5 corrupted? What can I do? Thanks you guys, I appreciate the dependable help you give

Best,
Jason

When i press the button it loads the right frame/ mc but afterwards the '<' stays on the screen, even tho the rest of the button fades out as it should. Also, the < still has the attached action script. It doesn't show on the .fla so I can't find it to delete it where it shouldn't be. It only appears on my preview and so I guess it will on my published site...

HEEEELP Cant Work Out Reply To My Thread
I posted a thread about an asfunction problem in which i recieved a reply, which i presume contained the solution to my problem; the problem is - i cant fully understand it?!
Can someone please work out this senerio for me,as im now really depressed

MY QUESTION - How do i go about executing multipule actions with the asfunction from an external txt file/files (e.g:<A HREF="asfunction:actions"> ) from this setup........

I hope this makes sense

USING A MUSIC CATALOGUE AS AN EXAMPLE:-

2 external txt files:
one contains a list of titles(each title acts as a button using A HREF=)
one contains the track details/listings of each title

2 dynamic textfields:
one (lets call it "titles") contains text loaded from the titles external text file, the other (lets call it "details") is an empty text field that recieves (or is supposed to) the track details/listings of the pressed title.

Each of the track details has a variable assigned to it in the details text file (eg:&details1=, &details2, &details3= etc) .

My problem is with the syntax, and how to write/apply it in the function () so depending on which title is pressed, the resulting details appear in the details textfield.

I'm also thinking of loading corresponing swfs to each tiltle into an empty MC container as well!

My aim is script this thing in such a way as to update content & info without going into the Flash authoring enviroment.(well as much as possible anyway)

I got this reply from JAYBEE but i could not work out how to implement it in my scripts - i.e: which bits are written in the actionscript plane and which are written in the text file.
Also i didnt know where the details_arr arrays are supposed to go; basically i would like this actionscript with comments/discriptions discribing what each section is doing and how to implement them.
--------------------

--------------------
JAYBEE's ANSWER!?! -

the trick is to read the data in in some sort of structured format in the first place, which is why xml would be good here, but you can still do it with text....when you load the details text put it into an associative array:

ActionScript:
----------------
[as]my_lv = new Loadvars();
my_lv.onLoad = loadDetails;
my_lv.load('details.txt');
details_arr = [ ];[as/]

[as]function loadDetails() {
for(var i in this) details_arr[i] = this[i];
}[as/]

------------------------------------------------------------------------
then you have an array that looks like:

ActionScript:
----------------
[as]details_arr["songName1"] = "Recorded 2003 etc etc";[as/]
[as]details_arr["songName2"] = "Recorded 2003 etc etc"[as/]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

and you can make your asfunction go like this:

ActionScript:
---------------
//<a href="asfunction:displaySong('Hoo%20Hah');">Hoo Hah</a>

[as]function displaySong(song) {
title_txt.text = unescape(song);
details_txt.text = details_arr[song];

}[as/]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

the only problem there is for song titles with spaces in them - you will need to send them as escaped strings then unescape to display - thats the song titles, not the details......its cos you can't have spaces in the name of the keys in the associative array

[F8] Using One Preloader To Load Several Swf Files - Heeeelp
Hey,

I've been looking for hours and hours online, in different forums (including this one) for an answer. the ones I did get aside to "impossible" were very confusing for me.

I am working on some what complicated site (too many demands), using several swf files.

An animation was asked to play during all the navigation in the site, which is why I decided to use the loadmovie trick.

I used the preloader in the main page, and would diiiiiiiie to get a code or an explanation for making the same preloader at the beginning to load the rest.

Also, I've been wondering if there's away to load a movie back after I unloaded it, to a specific frame. (so it won't start from the beginning and show me the preloader again)

I might have simply built the whole base in the worst way ,god I don't know what it is. it looks great, but i just can't find away to make the connections in the most efficient way, if at all!

Sorry for my panic. I'm going insane over this.

Every reply would be highlyyyyy appreciated. Highly!!!

HEEEELP :: Variables Inside Movie Clips
Hello everybody

This is the question:
I have a movie clip, wich has one pop up menu with buttons. Each button sets a variable and then plays an animation in scene 1, at the 2nd keyframe (this I made...).
Now, I want the 10th keyframe on scene 1 to check what variable was loaded, and then load a .swf file (this is not working!!!!!!!).

Here´s the code of one of my buttons (inside the movie clip):
on (release) {
load = "images";
tellTarget ("_level0") {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 2);
}

And here´s the code on the 10th keyframe on scene 1:
if (load == "../:images") {
loadMovieNum("images.swf", 1);
} else if (load == "../:teams") {
loadMovieNum("teams.swf", 1);
}
stop();

I just published these examples on line (flash 5), so you can see whats going on. It isnt my project, but I did it to show you the problem. I mean, layout will not have importance.

°°° Loading Movie In Other Movie °°° HEEEELP
hey there!

I have a main movie (called: "team.swf") with several buttons. When I click a button, it loads an external movie (called: "lampe.swf") and plays in my main movie. Now, what I want to do is this: when the movie "lampe.swf" is done with playing, it loads another movie (called:"description_lampe.swf") onto the main movie. So what i do is ad a script to load the "description_lampe.swf", but it opens in the same window... This is my code:

Code:
_root.loadMovie("description_lampe.swf", "description");
I guess it has something to do with the "_root"... how can I show to that movie that it has to open in the spot ("description") on the main-movie ("team.swf")?

is there a way to move all the content on all layers and even all scenes simultaneously?

or

is there a way to expand the stage equeally on all sides rather than just right and down?

Hopefully then you can get a good sense of what I am trying to accomplish...So when you click on the individual links, I want a flash within the main flash to load completely on top with it's own load bar and everything.

I'm not very experienced with action scripting, but I am quite experienced with the animation side of flash and drawing tools etc...

So, if anyone knows of any tutorials or examples that I could work off of, please help me out.

Alex
