Flash :: Trying To Figure Out How To Pass A Php Varible In Flash 4

Cant Get Flash Varible Into Php :|
var SenderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var ReceiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
saved.onRelease = function() {
SenderLoad = changes.text;
trace(SenderLoad);
//It traces what I typed in the textArea...
SenderLoad.sendAndLoad("http://www.fmj.sirx.org/writeit.php", ReceiveLoad, "POST");
};

<?PHP
$flashData = $_POST["SenderLoad"];

$myTextFileHandle = 'testfile.txt';
fopen("testfile.txt","r+");
fwrite($myTextFileHandler, "$flashData");
fclose($myTextFileHandler);

print("&receiveLoad=$flashData");
?>

I seriously cant figure out why it wont write... I have file permissions set for the swf, php, and the text file I'm tryin to write to. If somebody could help me out I'd really appreciate it!

Flash MX Logic/varible Syntax
Hello all

New around here

I cut my teeth on Flash4 and havent had a chance to jump onto FlashMX until recently, so I guess I count as a Newbie
(I was never a good coder or a good actionscripter in the first place, so bear with me anyway)

Layer1 is the Frame/Control level
Layer2 has my buttons
Layer3 I have a MovieClip sitting on the Stage

Frame1 of Scene1 - I set my variable:

set(open, false)

inside the movieclip Instance (named content) on frame1 I have it looping with the actionscript:

if (open = true) {
gotoAndPlay("tween")
} else {
play()
}

Back on the main stage, my button has the script:

on (release) {
tellTarget (content) {
set(open, true)
}

This is based on my rudimentary knowledge of actionscripting from Flash4, which seemed to work fine (thank god for the syntax error alerts)

FlashMX seems a bit more of a confusing bundle
I've set traces for everything and;

- The button can find the movie (and can move the timeline around)
- the varible is recognized and switches the movieclip on and off correctly

BUT

- The button doesnt seem to trigger the varible for the movieclip
- And even worst - it affects the Instance by triggering the varible without a 'release'

any clues? somebody told me the 'logic' to this incorrect

Simple Varible Problem(with Php, A .txt File, And Flash)
I am makeing a poll of my web site... I am doing it mainly to learn php... Ok so i have it set up like this:
I have a file called poll.php. When you click on which answer you want, flash sends all of the varibles to it. Now that part works fine. Then the poll.php writes to a file called poll.txt. It writes to that file fine. Then I have a last script to use the include function.The include function includes poll.txt.It is called results.php.And then flash reads from results.php to get the varibles back and to turn everything into percents and stuff. It sends it back fine. But the only thing is, is it still isn't numerical. So when you click on one of the answers to the poll, instead of doing +1 it actually adds a 1
Example:
2 people have voted on the first selection so then the value is 2. When you click on it, Instead of going up to 3
it goes to 21. And with it doing that, it still isn't numerical so i can't use action script to turn it into a percent. I had trouble with this once before. I had it working by using the Number function: var=Number(var)

For some reason it isn't working. I am putting the number function in the flash movie, so it will get the string from the php script and turn it numerical. Should i put the Number function in the php script?

Still Can't Figure This Out - Flash 8
I apologize in advance for posting a similar post, but this one is much more descriptive...and im desparate!

I am loading swfs to level0...and one loads from the other and vice versa...they both call the same custom class that I wrote "XMLShape.as" in the .as file I have an array of movieclips which are booths...these booths highlight when their respective exhibitor is clicked in the list...now the problem is that the movieclip array gets all screwed up when I load the second swf from the first...here is code that I am using to test this problem, and I have figured out that it is losing the reference but how?

code:
function highLight(booth:Number)
{
trace("List Index: " + booth);

tempColor = trans1.colorTransform;
var myColor:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(1, 1, 1, 1, 250, 200, 0, 75);
trans1.colorTransform = trans2.colorTransform = myColor;

Flash Gurus, See If You Can Figure This Out
I have a problem with my web site that I can't figure out. I have a page set up with input text fields. There is a submit button that runs a perl script. The perl script takes the values of the input text field and writes them to a text file. The text file is then read by the main page and shows the updated dynamic text fields. Everything works fine from every computer I have tried except one. Using the one computer, I got on the internet (via modem if that matters, all other attempts were via DSL/T1) and went to the web page.

Here's the problem:
I tried the submit button to change the dynamic text fields and a pop-up window came up and displayed "HTTP error 405-Resource not allowed." What does that mean? I tried to look the error up and all I could find was some technical jargon saying "the request line is not allowed for the resource identified by the request. Please ensure that you have the proper MIME type set up for the resource you are requesting."

Also, on the same computer, it did not even read the text file to even be able to see the updated dynamic text. The flash just uses a standard load variables command with a random function so that it always uses the most up to date text file.

Here's the web address of the dynamic text fields (the input text fields are in a secure directory using htaccess)
http://www.cvillefood.com/andersons/
To see the dynamic fields click on "Specials" or "Coupon"

Please help, I am very confused

Think You're Good? Figure This One Out (Flash MX Bug)
Here's the problem:
--------------------------------
Use the .restrict action to enable all keys to be entered into a text field but exclude the ENTER key. (The trick here is to exclude the ENTER key!)

Additional info:
--------------------------------
the ^ (carrot) means to exclude so It should be at least ONE of the following to exclude the Enter Key:
myTextfieldInstance.restrict = "^13" -or-
myTextfieldInstance.restrict = "^Key.ENTER" -or-
myTextfieldInstance.restrict = "^x20943" -or-
myTextfieldInstance.restrict = "^15" -or-
myTextfieldInstance.restrict = "^uD" -or-
myTextfieldInstance.restrict = "^IDS_ACTIONHELP_KEY_ENTER2" -or-
about a zillion other ways to represent the enter key.

- HOWEVER -
If you want to ONLY ALLOW the Enter key try this:
myTextfieldInstance.restrict = Key.ENTER
you'll notice it "seems" to work, all the keys are disabled except the ENTER key.. that is untill you type a "1" or a "3" (LOOKS LIKE A BUG TO ME)

Try it out and see for yourself, and if you figure it out.. let me know how you did it!

I Can Not Figure Out Text In Flash
I can't figure out the flash text situation - no matter what I do, the text looks blurry and horrible. All I want is for the text to be crisp and resemble the font size I choose (I'm using size 10). I tried the following things, all to no avail:

1) Changing the text to all three formats - Dynamic, Static, and Input Text. Static is what I want, but it still looks blurry.

2) Placing the text on an integer coordinate (i.e. x = 26.0, y = 52.0). Contrary to popular belief, this does not work.

3) Importing the text from Illustrator. Not a chance.

4) Converting the text to outlines Illustrator, then importing. Not only is it still blurry, but for some reason, the quality is lower! How does that happen?!

5) Converting the text to a symbol. Nope.

6) Using the system fonts, like "_sans". No.

This is really perplexing. I'm really not asking that much here. Everything looks really anti-aliased.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Link To Something I've Been Trying To Figure Out In Flash
I have always been curious to learn how to make buttons much like the red ones seen here:

http://www.aquicurso.com.br/principal.htm

I love how they quickly make a white flash so subtle like and have seen this on many sites...however, i have never been able to accomplish results like this. I'm only a beginner but I'm wondering if anyone knows any online tutorials that I could learn from that is similar to this?

Or, if anyone is interested in providing a step by step how to that a goof like me could even understand I would certainly appreciate it!

Thanks again!

Can't Figure This Out (can't Even Figure Out How To Describe It Lol)
I have a function that is getting the dimensions of a textfield so I know how large I will need to create it later on. Problem is, when loading big blocks of HTML w/ embedded images, the textfield may change size a few times before completely loading. If I trace out the "h" property in this function inside a loop, it looks like this:

1107
1107
1153
1208
.
.
.

until it gets to around 1350. I need a way to return that 1350, not the 1107, as my textfields are being sized to small. Any idea how to modify this function below so it returns the correct values? I've tried do/while, just a while loop, and onEnterFrame, but just can't figure out a way to get those values. Any help would be appreciated.

ActionScript Code:
private function getHtmlTextExtent(mcTest:MovieClip, strHtml:String):Object
{
var w:Number = 0;
var h:Number = 0;
var fw:Number = 0;
var fh:Number = 0;
var objExtent:Object;

_txtTemp = mcTest.createTextField("txtTemp", 100, 10, 1, 530, 400);
_txtTemp.embedFonts = true;
_txtTemp.multiline = true;
_txtTemp.wordWrap = true;
_txtTemp.antiAliasType = "advanced";
_txtTemp.selectable = false;
_txtTemp.html = true;
_txtTemp.htmlText = strHtml;

w = _txtTemp.textWidth;
h = _txtTemp.textHeight;
fw = _txtTemp._width;
fh = _txtTemp._height;

objExtent = {width:w, height:h, textFieldWidth:fw, textFieldHeight:fh};

_txtTemp.removeTextField();

return objExtent;

Animating A 3D Human Figure In Flash
greets all,

Has anyone ever modeled a relaistic human figure in Flash?
What I'm wanting to do is pretty simple. Not a lot of animation involved really. Imagine a Leonardo Da Vinci type thing--a basic human figure, say with the arms extended, that simply rotates round and round, and you would simply be seeing a side-profile perspective of this figure as it turns at a slow rate.

Like something you might see on some school computer in a human biology class or something. If a line extending from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet created the axis, it would rotate on that axis. I'd like to make the human figure at least somewhat realistic, but it doesn't have to be absolutely photo-realistic, if you get my meaning.

What would be the best tool for the job? Flash? Swift?

Is it possible to import some kind of 2D image into Flash or Swift and then extrude and shape it to get it to look how I want? I'm not really great at using any 3D programs so you'll have to explain it in layman's terms.

By the way, I have Lightwave 7 3D if anyone knows how it could be done in that or has any samples they might want to educate me with

Thanx!

Please Help Me Figure Out This Issues On My First Flash Site
Source: http://filebox.vt.edu/~gyanez/flash_test/source/

To see website: http://filebox.vt.edu/~gyanez/flash_test/index.html

Let me explain what I am trying to do with this portion of the site.

(1) Flash intro plays and you have the option to skip intro thru a button on the lower right corner

(2) Once intro done playing or user hits "Skip Intro" button the site loads an external jpg (from images/mainpic.jpg). This jpeg once loaded is revealed by an animated tween mask that goes left to right.

(3) Also there is an invisible button over the loaded jpg thta tells swf to animate a dynamic text box when user rollsover the image. This text box is filled by use of external txt file using LoadVars.

Ok my main issue are that:

(1) When the mask finishes revealing the jpeg (mainpic.jpg) the jpeg just goes away from the screen. Why is this? I put a stop() action in last frame of home.fla.

(2) After the intro is done playing and the preloader launches to let me know that the jpeg is being loaded the invisible button becomes enabled so the scrolling text box shows up over the preloaded even though the jpeg isnt up yet (I only want the text box to be revealed once the jpeg is fully shown and not before). How can I do this?

(3) Lastly. The text inside the dynamic animated text box shows the contents of the .txt file but then the text goes away and never shows up. Why is this?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions. I'm new at this and been at my wits end getting this done. Also, if you see any room for improvement (ex: if I am doing this the hard way, etc) would be appreciated.

Thanks.

y2 = y1-y0;
distance = Math.sqrt((x2)*(x2)+(y4)*(y4));
setProperty (this, _alpha, distance/.5);
updateAfterEvent();
}

i am confused that why they can use "y4".
also the footnote of the page tells reader that the "x2" in line 8 can be changed to "x4",as well as "y4" in line 8 can be changed to "y2", in order to show the different effect on the movie.
actually the movie works when i open it.

i think my origin of the problem is whether:
flash can recognize the varible as x1 x2 x4 .....?
i wonder...

Flash Presentation Slow - Figure Out This Equation
I've got a flash presentatino that is running off a pc. It will be displayed on 3 flat panels, each with a resolution of 1366 x 768. The presentation will be running horizontally using window's extended desktop feature, so I assumed I would create it at 4098x768. Flash, however is unable to creat a movie higher than 4000px wide. I decided it make it at 50% - 2049x384 and just zoom in when I get it going. The problem is, we tested it out today and it runs VERY SLOW at the actual size. Is there something I can do to fix this? I also have audio that needs to play. Any solution would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Flash Beginner Here - Gotta Figure Out How To Put A Site Together
I'm starting out with Flash, and at this point I know how to make a simple flash site with a menu and different sections, by making different content on different frames along the timeline and then programming buttons that jump between frames. But now I need to make a site with this kind of functionality: http://playdigital.ca/

What I don't know how to do here is:

How do I put together transitions between different parts of the site, like when the user clicks on a menu item, have the current content fold in or scroll out of view or whatever, and then have the selected content come in? I know how to animate things along the timeline, but not how to get flash to play through an animation of one section closing while another one opens. Is there an actionscripting way of saying "whichever button just got clicked on, play through this part of the timeline that shows the current section disappearing, and then go to the sequence for the button that just got clicked"? Or am I thinking about this wrong?

If there's a tutorial on this that somebody wants to link me to that'd be rad, any help would be appreciated big time!

Trying To Figure Out Text Variables In Html To Flash
I helped produce this site over 4 years ago, and i can't remember how to use the variable text that appears in the main header:
http://www.shastadrivingschool.com/services.shtml
"Services Shasta Driving School Offers"
embed src="header.swf?header=Services Shasta Driving School Offers"

i tried to recreate this. I made a small flash file, dynamic text box, added "header" as a variable name, also mirroring my embed src HTML code to match variable name... I feel like i'm missing something else.

can someone help? I know i'm over looking a simple item here.

Flash Player Isn't Appearing In Content - Cannot Figure Out Why
Hello,
I am trying to include a small swf into my blog. The player itself is here , and after a short loading time, you'll see it plays properly.

It is SUPPOSED to go in the upper right hand corner of this single page, but it isn't appearing. I'm using this code to call up the swf:

Code:
<div id="flash_player">
<object width="75" height="35" class="movie" data="http://www.oipmusic.com/flash/LoopPlayer.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param value="http://www.oipmusic.com/flash/LoopPlayer.swf" name="movie" />
</object>
There is one other small thing: I'm running wordpress to run this blog. But as far as I can tell, I don't see what is going wrong with it, or any reason that means it shouldn't work. I've tried various plugins, etc to get the flash player to work, but no dice.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me

Set Varible, Tell Target
Hi, everyone.
Sorry, I know this must be a very simple question, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I'm still fairly new to Flash 5 actionscript, and have been experimenting lately with a "Rock-Paper-Scissors" type game.

I have two instances of a movie clip on my time line, one name "char" the other called "comp". The first frame declares the varibles "choice" and "compchoice" as follows:

var choice=1;
var compchoice=random (3);

The next frame stops. I have 4 buttons in this frame, 3 to alter the "choice" varible and one to continue to the next frame. Button script is as follows:

on (release) {
choice = 1;
}

With the other two being 2 and 3. Then another button continues the time line and the next frame has this script:

if (choice=1) {
tellTarget ("/char") {
gotoAndPlay ("rock");
}
}
if (choice=2) {
tellTarget ("/char") {
gotoAndPlay ("paper");
}
}
if (choice=3) {
tellTarget ("/char") {
gotoAndPlay ("scissors");
}
}

The problem is that the "char" instance always plays the "scissors" animation. I set up dynamic text fields to track the varible (I've heard there's another way to do this in F5, but I can't remember how) and although it starts as 1 and I can change it with those 3 buttons, when I hit the "Go" button to play the animations, I always get scissors, which kind of kills the game.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
JG

Little Varible Problem
Just cant figure out what is wrong with this...I'm sure it's simple.

MC "expand"(in main timeline) sets a variable on frame one, open="closed"
on frame 20 there is a stop action and open="open"

a button has the following script

on (release) {
trace (_root.expand.open);
tellTarget ("_root.expand") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
if (_root.expand.open=="open") {
loadMovie("workingband.swf", "_parent.bandtarget");
}
}
}

the trace command doesn't read the change to "open" until the movie is replayed. Does it only check one time after the button is hit? Shouldn't it continue to check and see if the variable is "open"? I want the load movie to happen after the MC "expand" has gotten to the last frame and the variable has changed to "open". thanks for any help.

TellTarget Varible
I have a stop button that tells a movie clip to stop. The name of the movie clip is set by the variable "slide". Below is the action, which works fine if the stop button is in the main timeline.

on (release) {
tellTarget ((slide)) {
stop();
}
}

However if the button is in a different movie clip it does'nt work. Below is what I thought would be the answer but is NOT.

on (release) {
tellTarget (_root.(slide)) {
stop ();
}
}

I also tried it without any expresions, but no luck. Any items anyone?

Varible Issues
i have three text fields (variables). i need to be able to dynamically be able to set the value of of these fields, but more importantly i need to be able to dynamically select which field to set the value of. in other words i need to store the variable name of the text fields value in a variable and then set the value to the dynamically selected variable. hehe this really is starting to sound more confusing than it should be. anyways the problem is when i try to set the value of a variable from within another it seems to convert everything to strings. any help would be usefull. also been having problems concatenating variables with strings to access other variables and functions. help. thnx.

Tutorial Varible Help - Im New
I was going through this and I dont understand how to do this: (I am very new at flash)

To create hidden information that is passed to the script and eventually the e-mail, all you have to do is set a variable. For example you can set a unique Subject line in each e-mail you send by creating a variable named Subject. Another example would be if you wanted to set a different destination e-mail address for each occurrence of the form. This is important if you want to be able to use the same exact form to be able to send different e-mails in different locations in the main Flash movie. And then give it a value. Here's an example:

Subject = "This is the Subject";
ToEmail = "joeBob@example.com";

These variables must be located on the same level in the same movie clip as the rest of the text fields. Additionally, the button that will eventually call the script and send the information to your server and on to the specified e-mail, must reside at that same level.

Can you help???

Hi All,

I am trying to assign some variables value which are placed on the main stage

lets say

var1, var2,.........., varN

_level0.varN = 1

for(i=1; i<=myMCvar.length; i++)
{
var setVAR = eval("_level0.var"+i);
//default value is

//I want to set it to 2

//I tried this way
trace (setVAR);//output is 1;
setVAR = 2;// but this doesn't work ...
trace (setVAR)//output is 2;
trace (_level0.varN);//but the output is 1, where as I want it to be 2

}
