Flash :: Problem With Pop-Up Boxes In Flash

Input Boxes - Then Printing A Frame With Dynamic Boxes With The Input Text In Them...
I have created a flash document with input text... I put the input text with a a variable for each.. I need to print the variables on a seperate page. I used a bounding box inside a movie clip and the printing is working correctly... However it is not reading my input boxes into the dynamic text boxes..

What I did is I have the input boxes on the root timeline........ You input it and go through a few frames and you get the option to print from a button (which is printing 2nd frame of a movie symbol) NOTE: the printing is working correctly using #b.... This is what I have on the 2nd frame of the movie clip for the dynamic text boxes to read the input boxes and place those variables inside of those dynamic text boxes so it will print them as they inputted them...

Here is what I have for my button:

on (press) {
print(_root.Printing, "bmovie")
}

Here is what my variables are on the input boxes which are sitting on the root timeline, each word is a variable:

curious
passionate
accountable
resourceful
commited
teamwork
open
engerizing

External_focus
Clear_thinker
Imagination_courage
Inclusive_leader
Expertise

INSIDE THE PRINTING MOVIE I HAVE A FRAME WITH THIS ACTION ON IT FOR THE DYNAMIC TEXT BOXES TO READ THE INPUT TEXT BOXES:

External_focus1 = _parent.External_focus;
Clear_thinker1 = _parent.Clear_thinker;
Imagination_courage1 = _parent.Imagination_courage;
Inclusive_leader1 = _parent.Inclusive_leader;
Expertise1 = _parent.Expertise;
curious1 = _parent.curious;
passionate1 = _parent.passionate;
accountable1 = _parent.accountable;
resourceful1 = _parent.resourceful;
commited1 = _parent.commited;
teamwork1 = _parent.teamwork;
open1 = _parent.open;
engerizing1 = _parent.engerizing;

FOR SOME REASON IT IS NOT PRINTING MY INPUT BOX INFORMATION IN THE DYNAMIC TEXT BOXES.... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY?

List Boxes With XML In Flash
Problem: I need to generate data in 2 listboxes directly through an XML file. The second listbox changes content based on the selection in the first list box.

e.g. The first list box could contain: plants, animals, insects. When a user clicks on 'animals' the second list box displays; dogs, cats, cows. All the data has to be generated from an XML file.

Any suggestions as to how I can achieve this?

Check Boxes In Flash 5
Hello,

I am looking for some advice on a project I am doing.
The concept behind the Flash Movie is simply this. I want to compile a list of about 25 article titles on a page, each having a checkbox next to the title. The user needs to be able to check the titles they need printed, scroll to the bottom, hit a print button and then have the articles spit out the printer. Sounds easy enough.

I have a pretty good knowledge of Flash, movie clips, basic action scripts etc., I am just a little rusty form being out of the loop for a couple years. I am thinking ideally the articles would be movie clips, my main problem is coming up with the check boxes??

If anyone has some advice for me to help me get back in the game I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Check Boxes - Flash MX
Can anyone tell me how to have a checkbox stay checked. I have 5 pages in a script and check boxes on each page, however, when I check the boxes on page one then go to page two, if I was to go back to page one the checks are gone.
I know it is probably something to do with the Change Handler.

Please inform me how to keep them checked.

Thank you,

Jason

Flash Combo Boxes
Is it possible to change the appearance of combo boxes in flash mx 2004 ? I'd like them to be a bit smaller, smaller fonts, change the colours and maybe not have rounded corners.

Many thanks.

How can I change the speed of a moving car based on values input by user? Also, how can I make Flash calculate values of a function based on those input values?

Flash 8 And Input Boxes For PHP
Hello forums!

I'm having a bit of a war with my flash project at the moment - I am making the slow transition from MX to 8, and finding that all the things that USED to work now don't.

One of these things is my trusty Flash/PHP mailer.

Everything "works" fine, the email sends, but my issue is WHAT is being sent. Instead of simply sending the content of the input text box, it now also includes all of the HTML formatting as well! (Even though is NOT selected as an option for the text boxes)

So this means I get a very messy email with HTML code everywhere, and I've had to disable all of my conditions, as they obviously don't work anymore.

SO!
My question is, should I:

1. Somehow update my PHP script to be able to display the HTML formatting in the email(this would be great if someone could help with this!) or,
2. Simply somehow disable Flash 8 from sending the HTML formatting.

I have included the .fla and the .php file (as a .txt)
Thank you in advance!

Tabbing Between Input Boxes In Flash
I have a table in Flash containing input boxes and menu buttons in a top bar. I'd like to allow the user to tab along to each input box in order, but at the moment the tabbing order is random and also flips up to the menu buttons. Is there any way I can control this? Cheers...

Flash MX Showing White Boxes
I have created a Flash MX intro for a small clothing company and have gone to it on a few different computers. I have noticed on two different computers the movie not starting. I have a link to the Macromedia flash player 6 downlaod and went to it and downloaded and still nothing. Now, most computers show it no problem. I am wondering why others might not. And how come there are other sites, like 2advanced.com shows perfectly no matter where you look it up and with no wait time even though the site has to have massive amounts of flash file size? Does this have something to do with using Flash MX or maybe the Flash size. Anyone? The site is http://www.uriahboardware.com Please help.

White Boxes Behind My Flash On LOAD
Can somebody please give me a hand? I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I am putting my exported .swf files on top of a .jpg in dreamweaver and exporting the HTML. When the page loads, there are these ugly white boxes behind the flash sections as they load. Is there a way I can change this white to match the brown of the background while they're loading? I tried setting the "transparent windowless" under the publish settings, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

if you want to see what I'm talking about, go to www.acornentertainment.com

Using Expressions For Flash ~Input Boxes~
I just saw a post for this particular question, but no answer was given and I too need the help with this. In Flash MX 2004, you cannot click anywhere for a value(for an input text box) to make it an expression instead of a string variable. How does someone make a value for an input box become an expresion? thanks.

Flash Remoting And Combo Boxes
what i'm doing is populating a combox from a CF Query, the query gets 4 items: Product Name, Product ID, Width, and Height. I want all 4 to be listed in the combo box but when it is selected I want the value of Product Name to goto one Text Label, the value of Product ID to the next, and width to one and height to one. I've accomplished this using LoadVars but that was much too slow the Database is huge. Remoting works and the variables load into the combo box but im not sure how each variable is called by itself.

Code:
#include "NetServices.as"
#include "NetDebug.as"
#include "DataGlue.as"

// Remoting initialization
if (initialized == null) {
initialized = true;
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://mm-server/flashservices/gateway");
my_conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
// Create the service objects
dataSource = my_conn.getService("com.macromedia.test.Qry_GetArt", this);
}

function GetArt_Result(result) {
// Remoting changes recordset names to UPPERCASE.
artDropDown.dropdownWidth = 500;
artDropDown.setDataProvider(result.items);
artDropDown.addItemAt(0, "Select an item", "NONE");
}

dataSource.GetArt();

Combo Boxes In Flash 8 - Forms
Here is the deal so far I've done this to collect combo boxes and send to php

myCheckboxListener = new Object();
myCheckboxListener.click = function (eventObject)
{
//if checkbox selected assign value yes
if (check1.selected)

else
//if checkbox deselected assign value no
{ checkBox1 = check1.getValue() ? "Yes" : "No"; }
}

check1.addEventListener("click", myCheckboxListener);

etc...

The problem is now I have a form with 100 combo boxes !!!!!!!!

Using Combo Boxes In Flash Forms
I have a contact details form in flash. I'm trying to submit info gathered through input text boxes and through a combo box to the server for processing in PHP. The text stuff is coming up fine server-side but the combo box values are not. Can anyone tell me how I do the equivalent of setting the 'var' for input text on comboboxes? (I have named the instance and completed the 'label' and 'data' parameters).
Thanks for any help or direction

Grey Boxes Around My Flash Elements?
I currently run a website that is set up with several flash elements butted up next to each other using tables (http://www.deltasoniccarwash.com). This method used to be fine. The tables were invisible to the user. With the latest update of internet explorer this is no longer the case for pc users. Now when my site is viewed in Explorer 7 (on a PC) grey boxes appear highlighting my table when a user scrolls over them. My flash rollovers do not work until a person clicks into the box. I've looked at several other flash sites and this problem is not seeming to affect them. Can someone please point out what I'm doing wrong. Thank You.

My Flash Objects Have Boxes Round Them
Hello - if anyone could help me with something, I'd be eternally grateful!

I'm building a website with Dreamweaver, and it's got several flash elements, like buttons and pictures.

When I preview the site on my BT browser, everything looks great - but when I preview it on my IE browser, it's a mess.

When I hover over a flash element, a box of dotted lines appears around the flash object, and the words "click to activate and use the control" appear.

When I then click on the object, the box disappears, and I can then use the buttons etc.

My dreamweaver site is made with tables. The dotted-line box surrounds the CELL that the flash object is in, rather than the flash object itself.

I've no idea what this is, or why it only happens in my IE browser and not my BT one. If anyone can give me some pointers, I'd be very grateful. At this rate, I'm going to be at my PC all Christmas Day!

Thanks in advance

Flash MX & Greedy Text Boxes ...
I'm building in Flash MX and exporting as Flash version 4.

I have a couple of text boxes and when testing, I am told by MX that I am using festures unavailable in Flash version 4.

The problem lies with the text boxes. (I'm sure that text boxes were available in Flash 4 )

Anyone had this problem / know what's going on ?.

Thanks.

CNN-type Flash Info Boxes
I'd like to create a 5-6 panel presentation very similar to what CNN has at the link below on the topic of the death penalty and mental illness. Basically CNN has a hyperlinked menu with dates on the bottom margin and when you click on a certain year, it pulls up a paragraph or two of information along with a graphic.

This will not be web-based, but instead used in a classroom prsentation within a stand-alone flash-based lesson.

Can someone get me started here, please?

Thanks!

Adding Borders To Boxes Drawn In Flash
I have a quick question please, sometimes when I go back and edit a box I had drawn in flash, I can't add a border to it. In the color mixer I'm given the option but in the properties below I'll select a color for a border but it goes back to having the red cross line through it immediately after.

Thanks

P.S. The box is not a movieclip or button or graphic.

Smart Clips Check Boxes Flash 5 Please Help
I have used some predefined smart clips that come with flash5 for checkboxes for a form. This passes the data on to a CGI script.

The checkboxes has the following script on each clip instance:
onClipEvent (load) {
// check style preference
if (_parent.style.toUpperCase() == "AUTO") {
playerVersion = getVersion;
_parent.platform = playerVersion.substr(0, 3);
} else {
_parent.platform = _parent.style.toUpperCase();
}
// create methods for the parent class
_parent.child = this;
_parent.getLabel = function () { return child.label;};
_parent.getState = function () { return child.checked;};
_parent.setLabel = function (label) { child.label = label;};
_parent.setState = function (state) { child.checked = state;if (state) {if (platform == "MAC") {child.gotoandstop(4);} else {child.gotoandstop(2);}} else {if (platform == "MAC") {child.gotoandstop(3);} else {child.gotoandstop(1);}}};
}
onClipEvent (load) {
// set the initial state
stop ();
label = _parent.label;
if (_parent.checked.toLowerCase() == "true") {
_parent.setState(true);
} else {
_parent.setState(false);
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)) {
if (_parent.getState()) {
_parent.setState(false);
} else {
_parent.setState(true);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
}

How do I get the checked box to send the value such as installation?
The clip parameters shows 4 items:
_name
checked
label
style
I have filled them in as follows:
installation
false (only can select true or false)
Auto

I must be missing the point somewhere as to how I get it to chuck out the fact that having been checked its value is "installation details please"

Here's hoping some bright person can help.

CSS Trouble With Dynamic Text Boxes In Flash MX
Hi all,

Thank you for reading this.

I have a dynamic text box reading content from a text file with custom scrollbars to scroll it. All this is in a movie clip. I am using a Flashkit tutorial but I can't remember which one so sorry I'm not too much use on that but I think it may have been from a guy called Patrick if that helps.

Anyway, I want to link to a style sheet that my text files can read from. How would I go about doing this? Also, how can I tell my HTML files to read from the style sheet in particular areas (i.e. links and news headings)?

Thank you very much and hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark

Opening & Closing Window Boxes Within Flash
Hi all

Im not too sure my Subject title really explained what I need to do but im gonna give it a go and hope that someone just pops by and has a look.

I have a flash movie of a car with some round circle buttons on some parts of the car that when clicked shows particular parts of the car in close-up.

Before I just used a roll over button and made a box appear when I the mouse rolled over but the of course it just disappeared when people came off the button.

What I would like now is that when the button it rolled over small box comes up within the movie and juststays there until you click the cross at the side of the box and then it just disappears and everything is teh same underneath. Kinda like a browser window but not if you get me.

Im not sure how to do this but it would be great to know how.

I hope you guys can help me, im learning all the tme with this.

Boxes Around Flash That Require Click To Play
I did a website for a client of mine, and she says that on all of the flash that is on her site, and its real simple stuff, nothing complex

these are pretty much her words, edited a bit, but since i dont see what she says i have to go by what she says.

She says she can see the actual cell border anywhere there is flash. Then, when she places her mouse anywhere in a flash area, a box of text appears "click to activate and use this control"
This happens any where there's flash on the site Once she clicks her mouse, the cell border goes away, and the flash appears.

if anyone can help me out in figuring out why this is happening, and how I can stop it from happening, i would really appreciate it.. thanks
