Hi all
I have this problem ......here it goes.....
Actually I developed a Flash MX-2004 application which has to run on both mac and windows platforms.
This application does the funciton of a dictionary and has 46 xml files and close to 13000 sound files.
This application runs fine on most Windows platform, however it doesnt work on Windows 98 and Windows NT where though the intro animation comes & the home screen loads....the application part of the program doesnt load.

Why is this so??? I am totally clueless...please help....
Do I have to make the intro and exit animations as separate swf files adn call them????
Please help....

Flash Popup Adverts/windows That Aren't Windows
Hi there

Just wondering if anyone knows any links to tutorials to make those flash adverts you find on websites? They are actual popup windows but flash boxes that appear above a webpage.

I think they use div layers as well as some flash? But im not sure where to find a tutorial!

For an example visit:

http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/index.jsp

(you might need to click on several pages down the left to get one to appear)

Any help on this would be a great help.

Thanks

Interesting Issue With Flash And Windows - Flash Start With Windows?
Hey guys,
I'm programming a flash application that would run on a user's desktop (using MDM or similar programs to convert to a transparent background EXE).
My client would like to have the users select weather they want to application to start with windows or not. I would like to know how to make my flash application start with Windows without manually adding it (the users won't have to add it to the startup folder themselves). Can flash write to the registry? Can a third party program do it for me? The client wanted to EXE to run without an installation. Thank you very much!

How To Create 'Windows' Windows With Flash?
I'd like to create a windows system like the one we use on windows. This is what i really like:
Yo have some buttons. When u click on any of 'em a popup window opens (inside could be text, image or movieclips or all of 'em). Last window it opens always shows up on top and if u select one that it's behind this comes automaticly to the top. I'd love too if u could minimize 'em and also if eacho one opens into a new swf.
There is a example of what I want here:
http://senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.49
But in that example everything is in the same swf, and as I said some lines before I want each window to open into another swf.

...........hope u can help me. Thanks!

Launching Flash Windows From Flash Windows
Please can someone help me.

I am trying to create my own personal portfolio on cd. The main interface is a swf and contains a list of buttons (which are the titles of my work). When these buttons are pressed I want to launch a new flash window ontop of the existing one containing the piece of work.

I have looked at javascript popup windows using dreamweaver but have had no luck. I don't know whether this is because you have to use http's or that im thick and have no knowledge of javascript.

If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I am using Flash MX if it makes a difference. If the solution is using javascript or html can please explain it to me like a 5 year old because I don't know what im doing.

Pop Up Windows In Flash
Guys,

How do I make the pop up windows from a Flash, that only shows the window itself, not the browser features. eg. back, stop, the address bar, etc. I already know how to do it the regular way, but I don't want the browser buttons to show it. Just the window itself. I'm stumped.

Ciao,
Marc

Pop Up Windows From Flash
hi all..
Firstly... lemme guide you to the site that brought me to this forum..

http://www.midgreyphotography.com

There in the portfolio section.. this is what I wanna do...

When a user clicks on an image over the tweened "FILM STRIP".. I want to open a pop-up browser window that would be aligned to the center of the screen with a bg color and windows border color of BLACK. Also, can I change the Titlebar color of windows? Please do let me know guys... for I've been breakin' my head over it.
Also, I don't want to open any HTML page...
I'm planning on using this javascript over each of the tweened buttons...

<b>java script:NewWindow=window.open('images/image01. jpg','newWin','width=400,height=300,toolbar=No,loc
ation=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,full
screen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0); </b>

kindly let me know what modifications would I have to make to the script.. PUHLEEEEZE...

ALSO - Can I get away without specifying the Width and Height of the jpeg images I'm calling? that way I wouldn't have to bother about finding out image dimesions?

Fix The Windows Res. With Flash?
Hi Fellow flashers,

I'm working on a CD-Rom flash presentation and because everybody uses a different screenresolution in windows i wondered if it's possible to set the windows screenres. when you start the presentation.

For example, somebody has a 1280*1024 screenres. and starts the presentation. Is it possible to set his screenres. to 1024*768 so everything will look like it's supposed to be?

It would be nice if their screenres. jumped back to 1280*1024 when they close the presentation, but it's not necassary.

I know flash can always be set to fullscreen, but images like jpg/gif/bmp etc. get crappy that way, so that's not a solution for me.

Hope somebody can help me out!

Thanx in advance,
ACM

thanks!

Flash Windows
I've seen this method used before - Let me explain what I'm attempting to achieve.

What I want is to have a template, on this template will be multiple links for the user to choose from.

When the user clicks a link I would like a window to open (Not a new browser window) - a new flash-only, if you will, window.

Is there any easy way to answer this or do I simply need to further educate myself with Flash?

Two Flash Windows
Hello again

I have a BIG problem, I am having a complete flash site that is heavy. From that site you can run some simple games which open in a new window. Now the problem is that when both windows are open, the games run VERY SLOW. If I close the main window the speed improves.
Is there any way to put the first window in "sleep modus" or anything so that the games in second window can have a good performance.

Thanx in advance
Mareike

Flash MX And Windows SP2
I have a problem with windows sp2 and flash mx 2003. SP2 will not allow the debugger window to pop up when sp2 is installed. When I right click in the flash movie the debugger option is not there. I know that sp2 blocks pop up window. I have removed sp2 and then I can right click and get the debugger and it works fine. Does anyone have suggestions that will allow me to use the debugger with sp2.

Thanks in advance,

Tony

[F8] Pop Up Windows For Flash 8

Flash 8 Pop-up Windows
I'm trying to make some links in a full flash site done in flash 8 pop up in new html windows at a set size. My code works fine if I publish to older versions of flash, but not to version 8. I think they changed something for security reasons. Does anyone know of a workaround? Here's the code that I had been using previously:

on (release)
{
getURL("javascriptopupwindow('contact.html',' contact','height=650,width=475,top=0,left=0,resi zable=no,scrollbars=yes');", "_self");
}

Using Flash With Windows CE
We're evaluating use of the Flash to develop a professional user interface for an instrumentation system. The system will be running Windows CE 6.0 . We'll have custom drivers for some of the hardware and a signal-processing algorithm running in real-time. The Flash application will need to communicate with the drivers and algorithm.

Is Flash appropriate for this kind of application? Has anyone out there done this kind of thing?

Flash For Windows NT 4?
Hey there,

I work at a big company that has old machines with windows NT 4 only. How can I get flash player to work in my old Internet Explorer 5.5 browser? I tried downloading and installing the link at the bottom of this page for Flash Player:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=d9c2fe33

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...layer_7_ax.exe

I installed it but it still does not work, any ideas? So frustrating thanks!

Help With Flash 8 Pop Up Windows...
OK , i have a page with 8 movie clips that show the first frame of a video.

I want each of the 8 mc's to be a link that opens a pop up window that contains a html page with an embedded video (using youtube videos, i dont have the bandwidth to handle it myself)

I have found several tutorial for doing this via java in flash, but none seem to work for me.

In some cases, it wont work for me because there are 8 buttons, that open 8 different files.

However, i found a few tutorials that dont require java on the html page, but i get a ton of actionscript errors when i try to use these.

here are a few of the tutorials I have tried:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...-836/index.php
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_14192

Can anyone point me to a better method, or a tutorial that will work for what I need?

Here's the one im currently working with
http://www.actionscript.org/resource...ash/Page1.html

and my code on the mc button:

Code:
on(release) {
getURL(javascript:openNewWindow('mustang.html','thewin','height=425,width=350,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no');
}
and my code on the targeted html page (mustang.swf):

Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}
</script>
and I even put in the

Code:
swLiveConnect=true NAME=videos.swf
on the embed tag for the container page, tho i read somewhere that Flash 8 doesnt need it.

Here's the error im getting now:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=vid2but, frame=82:Line 2: ')' or ',' expected
getURL(javascript:openNewWindow('mustang.html','th ewin','height=425,width=350,toolbar=no,scrollbars= no');

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Also, if you look at the videos page ( http://www.voiceman.com/new )
the mustang mc plays twice as soon as I add that actionscript. And it doesnt behave like a button

Any ideas?

Flash Pop-up Windows?
Hi All,

I am trying to build an Flash-based audio player that features a standalone mode (opens in a small popup window). I have found a site that somehow manages to implement this concept whilst bypassing the browsers popup blocker! To view the example, please click the link below and on the audio player on the left-hand-side click "spawn player".
