Flash :: Plz Reply Soon

PLEASE REPLY SOON
Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something. I am using these types of scripts to output certain types of bandwidth related information in my flash movie.

//bits loaded en last second
b_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
// total bytes
b_total = _root.getBytesTotal();
//current time in seconds
time=(getTimer()/1000)-time1;
//bits per second = bloaded/time
bps= b_loaded/time;
//bits left
b_left = b_total-b_loaded;
// seconds left
s_left= Math.ceil(b_left/bps);
//minutes left
min=Math.floor(s_left/60);
if(min>=1){
s_left-= Math.floor(min*60);
if (s_left < 10){
s_left= "0"add s_left;
}
}
else{
min="0";
if (s_left < 10){
s_left= "0"add s_left;
}
}
//output for time left
timeleft=min add":"add s_left;
//output for bit_rate
bit_rate = int(bps)add"bps";

// percert for bar in _root
percent= (b_loaded/b_total)*100;
//set the property of x scale of bar
_root.bar._xscale= percent;

Basically I want to use various attributes to create graphic representations in vaarious pieces but am having trouble. Any suggestions. Also, anyone know how to get a trace route in flash without Perl.

Thanks...

The easy way, based on the amount of code you seem to understand, simply:

repeat the duplicate step in the same frame, no loop needed.

_root.target.duplicateMovieClip ("uniquename", level);
_root.uniquename._x = #;
_root.uniquename._y = #;

repeat until you have ten.

If you are interested in learning more first understand and successfully execute this code. Then if you are interested in learning some real code look into

for () {

}

however you must have some more understanding of code and setting variables. Hint: For is a loop executed with code.

Ok, after I made this post I realized that the CD will be using a projector, so essentially, I really don't have to worry about resizing. Also, shrinking the size will of the movie will not necessarily lower it's size? If that is the case, I guess the only way for me to really shrink it without using two seperate files for large pics and small ones would be to lower the image quality in the publish settings. One more thing, I can just have the movie resize automatically using like fscommand? So, I won't have to worry about that right.

hi there...
I have a flash embeded in html which loads images directly from the server into the flash (load movie)...
all seems to work fine on mac ...and on pc as well when I use netscape or mozilla....but Internet explorer for pc seems to take almost a minute to load the same 12 k image...

You may have better luck posting in a help forum, but you also may want to double check your SWF code. There shouldn't be any difference between the way the flash plugin deals with loading from NS to IE. It is the exact application code (the flash plugin I mean) after all.

Have you tried this on other machines? Perhaps you have some spyware or other issues in IE that doesn't effect NS.

yeah...I thought that with flash it should work same in IE than Netscape, Pc and mac...thats actually why I am so confused...

I have tried it on several mashines, even placed it on another server and asked friends in different countries to check it...
Seems to have everywhere the same problem...

Apart from that I dont hope its something in the code...it was **** loads of work.....but if it is, wouldnt the problem then show up in all browsers and platforms as well?

Is this one of those non-logical web-hell problems?

Hi, Green eye

I mean when the buttons are pressed, the button itself changes colour inorder to indicate that the user has pressed it already.

Sorry if it didn't make clear sense! Look at the buttons on the www.iso50.com site to understand what I'm talking about.

Help. Can Someone Please Reply?
Ok. I created a button.. and added a behavior that loads an external swf into a movie clip. Now the external swf movie that loads into the mc also has a button that loads a second exteral movie. Nesting several movies swf files in the main movie.

http://www.dondi.biz/newsite06/ (click on portfolio)

When I view the final movie. It only loads the first external movie showing the buttons (web, Print etc.). But when I click on the button it doesnt load the third movie.

but when I view the second movie it loads it just fine when not nested in the first movie. http://www.dondi.biz/newsite06/portfolio.html it loads just fine.

Can I not nest these movies together to work just fine? Why is this so frustrating? Can anyone help me please?

It's not displayed, even when I cean the History and the Temporary internet files.
I asked a friend of mine and he said that there is a command in flash that called retrive that order the browser to look for updates and it's supposed to solve the problem.
there is no command like this in flash.
Do you know about a command like this?
Or something else not in flash?
please help! this is realy urgent!
Thanx

Hi,

since you do not reveal your true url for testing, I can just guess that you have tried only with IE on windows...
BTW: you can put all codes inside one on-release, like this:
on(release) {
recipient = ...
subject = ...
if(email ne "" && Name ne "" && street ne "") ...

} // end of on-release part

Another Problem, Please Reply
Thanks for the previous advise. It helped alot. Now I am testing the "projector" on different computers and I have a big problem. The movie runs O.K. on Windows 98 and up but on Windows 95 it plays like a turtle and the sound cuts out in certain spots. Some of the voice overs do not play. Is there a way to get the movie to play well on all versions or do I put requirements on the CD jacket. The last thing I want is for this CD to go out and get calls that it does not play right on this computer or that. Is there a way around this. Please help.

Multilanguages - No Reply?
Hi, can anybody help me?

I already posted this question in the 5-general help forum -without any reply...
I am asked to create a Flash5-Web-Site in more languages. This Site contains more than 30 HTML-Pages and different Flashmovies. It should be possible to switch between the different languages by exchanging only the decisive objects. Because I am more used to programm with Macromedia Director, I think about the way of exchanging whole castlibs, each for any language - so is there any similar possibility in Flash (with shared libraries or something else)? How would this basicly work?

Thank you for any help,

Christian

thank you mirandir!
what you wrote first time round was a great explanation.and i understood it fully!
anything after that started confusing me.This "root" stuff.I dont get that, it just confuses me.
But what i did now was on scene 2 i labelled the first frame as a frame label...and thats crystal clear!
however my button (on scene 1, inside a movie clip" is still not finding the frame label.I gave the frame label a name! And well everything should be totally correct.But still not working.
Any chance i could send you the FLA to save hours of writing here my man??

Thanks man!

OK this is the THIRD time I have written this out...I hope they get that refresh prob fixed on the new thread window...anywho, I am a novice...no, an intermediate...well somewhere around there. And also, as the name suggests, I'm just scraping onto the teen era.
Anywho, I have been looking at websites, and found out what people laugh at, and have come up with an idea. Basically, I need help with:
Limb movements
- Where to seperate Limbs?
- Motion tween or FBF?

Lip Sync
- How can I draw efective cartoon mouths without it looking cheesey?

Anywho, I'll let the kind people get to work replying and the lazy so and soes delete this message...

Oh yeah, and to get an idea of the type of help I need, look at this copy of my person on a quick backround:

Reply: LoadVariablesNum()
Sorry for late reply, here's the code.

submit.onRelease = function() {
loadVariablesNum("http://myweb/formprocess.php", 0, "POST");
_root.scrollpane.setScrollContent("formsent");
};

I think it has got to do something with server as files work before uploading. I have also tried using loadVariables but they didn't work too.

(I have used a loadVariablesNum action in my movie for a form. Now on the PC it works fine and well without any problem and even within the browser, but after uploading on the server, it sucks and does nothing sort of loading variables. Any suggestions?)

A Few Questions (please Reply)
My dream is to be an animator...and I have a lot of work to get there, and a lot of time (im 14). I thought using flash would be good to help me learn.

Now to my questions. Question #1, When I draw a stick figure to attempt at making a walking cycle, the legs sometimes stick together when I move them. I have each leg on a different layer so I can seperate them but my problem is I can't make little adjustments because they stick together if they get near. Is there a way to resolve this?

Question #2, This is more of a request then a question but does anyone have a walk cycle .fla, or .gif that I can look at it and see the steps, so I can make my own? I'm having a very hard time with making a walk cycle.

Thanks Very Very Much For Your Time!

To Chessgenie: Thanks For Reply. But.......
hi,

i have placed the AS at the first frame.
the combo box works as the drop down displays what is indicated in the AS.
option1, option2.... this part i understand.

but the combo box doesn't carry out the action.(it doesn't trace out the text when i select the option1, option2....)

nothing happens when i click on the combo box ( beside dropping down and listing the options)

i replace the trace with some actions (gotoAndStop(10)..... etc)

it doesn't work. so i'm missing out something.....

__________________________________________________ _______

Here's a simple example :
1) create a combo box component and name the instance as "comboBox"
2) on the property panel, calls the change Handler as "comboBoxEvent:
Your AS could be:

Code:
option = new Array();
option[0] = "option 1";
option[1] = "option 2";
option[2] = "option 3";
//
function BuildList() {
comboBox.addItemAt(0, option[0], 0);
comboBox.addItemAt(1, option[1], 1);
comboBox.addItemAt(2, option[2], 2);
}
//
BuildList();
//
function ComboBoxEvent() {
var itemSelected = comboBox.getSelectedItem();
var itemx = Number( itemSelected.data );
trace (" itemSelected(" + itemx +")");
if (itemx == 0 )
trace("I clicked Option 1");
// code your action here for option1;
else
if (itemx == 1 )
trace("I clicked Option 2 ");
// code your action here for option2;
else
if (itemx == 2 )
trace(" I clicked Option 3 ");
// code your action here for option3;
else
trace(" Hmmm .. what I have done here?? ");

----

You don't call the comboboxevent...

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

Have you tried the AS? For testing, place it on frame 1 with your ComboBox.
You don't call the comboBoxEvent()... it is triggered by the event handler when you pressed any options on the Combobox....You can have as many options as you want, but you need only one event hadler. However you need to know which on the options (which is an index number starting from 0 in our example) was pressed and decide what to do - such as make your MC gotoandplay to frame X....
