Help Needed In Clearing The Content Of The XML File Content Displayed In The Flash
I have developed a flash file with combo box which displayes all the XML files in the directory and after selecting a particular XML file the flash file reads the XML file and displayes the content of the XML file in flash in a fashion I have done. But, if I chose another XML file which is a blank XML file, still the flash file shows the previous file's content in the flash. How to clear that previous file's content?
If I chose someother XML file which is having some content then it shows correctly. But, if I chose some blank XML file, the flash file shows the previous content instead of showing it blank. pls help me how to clear the previous file contents?

Why Does Flash Re-load Content When Content Within Hidden/shown Area?
Hi all,
A purely academic question for someone about how Flash loads. I've written a simple Flash image scroller script, see: http://www.benjaminkeen.com/software/image_scroller/
On the page above, I separated the various content (installation instructions, demo, download file, etc) into separate pages, which get hidden/shown via JavaScript. Very straightforward.
My question is: why, when you go from the "Overview" to "A few examples" sections (both of which have a demonstration scroller), does the flash get "re-drawn" each time? I don't understand - I thought that it would simply get loaded the first time the browser calls it - not every time the content becomes display:blocked through javascript...?
I guess my follow up question is: can this be prevented?

[CS3] How To Delay Html Content Until After Flash Content
I am working on a site where I want to have a few flash elements on the page ( i.e the navigation and the logo. ) to animate in before the the a block of text ( in a div) will be shown. The flash elements will stay on screen and be used after loading as the nav with interaction.
I don't want it to be a true flash intro before the site ( I already have one actually). I would rather it be a sequence that becomes visible as the page loads.
As I am typing I am wondering if this needs to be done in javascript or if it can be done via the embed parameters.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Macromedia.com Top Flash Bar
I'm interested in creating a menu system similar to the one on macromedia.com (the one that starts with - Home Products MX 2004 etc). I've been trying to figure out how to do this and I just can't pinpoint it.
I'm using Flash MX. If someone could point me in the right direction I could probably run with it. I'm guessing theres variables used somehow so that when you jump from one button to another, the one that you roll off of turns off before the new menu selection below the main buttons turns on. I'm not sure if they are using buttons or movieclips as buttons. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Macromedia Flash 5
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Flash 5? Macromedia doesnt sell older versions of Flash. I need Flash 5 because that seems to be the best version of Flash that properly imports linework from Illustrator. In MX and MX 2004, the linework (dashed lines) does not interpret properly.
I would appreciate anyone's help on this.
Thanks.

New To Macromedia Flash And Need Your Help
hello everybody,
yes, i am a brand new user of macromedia flash, but i became familiar to it faster than I expected
So i need and appreciate your help very much.
i have some problems that i want you to help me to solve it.
i am making a movie clip that have some animations and explanatory sound track in the background,
i need to make a Pause/Play button which when i click it for the first time it changes to the Play icon and pauses the animation and sound, and vice versa.
i tried to make two buttons with two different images the Pause button at the top and the Play button under it, so when the user clicks Pause i write some commands in the Actions so the Pause button disappears and consequently the Play button which is under it appears as a result, and when i click the Play button the animation resumes and the Pause button appears again so as a result it returns on the top of the Play button hiding it.
I have two problems doing this, the first one don't know how to hide the button, second i could stop the sound track in the pause state but don't know how to continue from the place it stoped at.
BOTTOM LINE
I need to know how to hide a button.
I need to know how to pause audio and resume it again from the position it was paused at.
Please Help Me
thanks in advance

Help With Macromedia Flash
Ok, this is my story. I was making a flash animation of "Metroid Sprites" and it took from from 12am-4am in the morning without saving. Then I was like, "Oh crap I should save".
So I go ahead and save it to my desktop. There no problem, right? WRONG, I then clicked after I saved, "Save and Compact". Now I have no clue why I clicked that Idk, I don't even remember I was in such a daze. I then couldn't see all my keyframes and animations.
So I sat there and cried (not really). I had no idea how to see my flash ever Again. I am so depressed because I sat there and did all of that work for nothing. Now on the side of the flash when I try to open it they have all my images in the library. BUT THAT'S IT. Original Flash with all my hundreds of keyframes just GONE. Idk what to do. When I pressed save and compress it also saved a .swf of my file. But that might have been from me trying to fix it.
I hope one of you guys can help me with my problem because I really REALLY wish there is a way to get my flash back up and running. I MISS IT :'(

Do I Have To Buy Macromedia FLash To Use Swish
Hello
I am very very very New to This Flash Thing.....I also Own Both Versions, which to tell you the truth, Ver 1.0 is easier than 2.0.
But anyway, what I am needing to know is:
#1 Do I have to purchase Macromedia Flash Program in order to Use Swish? I thought Swish was a Stand alone Flash Program, and alot Easier than Macromedia Flash....
#2 I downloaded the tutorials from Swish site, but they dont show what settings are, or anything.....in order for us Beginner Newbies to Make different Looks, etc. of these Tutorials.
#3 Isn't there a better Manual of some kind that one can purchase to show what certian X Y's are and what settings do what??
#4 I sit for hours on end trying to Learn this and to no avail, have I accomplished anything, because Programs Now days.....DO NOT SHOW ALL IMPORTANT STUFF, only certain Basics, not the Major things one needs to know.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I know that Much!!!!
Thanks SO Much in Advance!

Macromedia FLASH EXPERTS --> Look In
to anyone on this board who has very good understanding of Macromedia Flash.
here's the scenario of what i'm trying to do.
i'm building a maths tutorial in flash and the aim of the tutorial is to teach them how to do ALGEBRA.
Well anyway, the main bit which i need help on is the questions. i'm including interactive questions so that a user can try out.
what i'm thinking about doing is laying out questions where it is multiple choice, e.g.
if 15 = 3x + 3 what is x
a. x = 4
b. x = 1
c. x =-4
and then the user can choose from a multiple choices, and if the user gets it right then it will say "correct" or if its wrong it'll say "wrong".
does anyone know how to do this?
and the other method which i'm thinking of doing the questions would be something where the user needs to input the answer, e.g.
if 15 = 3x + 3 what is x
x = [ ]
then the user will have to enter the answer in the box, and if it is right it will say "correct" and so on.
So does anyone know any websites or think they can help me with this problem? any help or advice would be appreciated.

Preloading In Macromedia Flash MX
hello all!
You can view my current project if you want to understand what i'm going to talk about:
http://www.naruto-online.com/work/po...sh/splash.html
at the end of my scene one i did put
Quote:
ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 2", 141) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
}{
Though, when I browse the file, the sea picture fade in isn't working properly because it has not been loaded.
Did the actionscript to preload in Flash MX is different than in Flash 5?
Thanks in advance.

Launching Macromedia Flash
This is bound to sound like a stupid question, but it's driving me out of my mind. I've been online for hours trying to get just one piece of helpful information that I could start the program with, but I've found nothing so far, on either this site or macromedia itself. The chance remains that I overlooked something obvious, but I hope somebody will help anyhow. I downloaded both a trial of Macromedia MX and Macromedia Flash, and got to the movie confirming an instillation. I'm trying to make a dress up game in flash. However, I can see no icon on my desktop, nor a shortcut, nor a Macromedia category in the programs menu. I have NO idea how to launch this blasted thing, my e-mail from Macromedia only says after launching, much like the tutorials I've read. I also searched my drives for anything with Macromedia. No results. I set my internet security level to Low. What should I do to get into the program?

Macromedia Flash MX 2004
I don't even have Flash yet but I'm planning on getting it in a couple of months. I have a question though.
It's not now outdated or anything with the release of Flash8 is it? I wouldn't think so, but, I just want some definite reassurance.
You see, I want to be able to make really nice animations and games. So, I want to make sure that I'm getting a good version of Flash.
