HOW TO : Load Email Address From A .txt File For A Mailto Button
I have been trying to do this for a while and have fallen on my face.
I can't get my head around loadvars..... can't spot similar anywhere on the board, so here goes....

i wish to have a button which on release loads an email address from a text file, then sends using on(release); "mailto:email@email.com"

So that the recipient can be altered in a text file by changing the variable there, not in the flash file.

any ideas how i do that !?!

thanks very much for any hints in advance.... C

Why Does This Simple Movie Run So Slow In Internet Explorer But Fine In Firefox
This script is used to fade a movie clips opacity to 200 (an extra 100 to add to the pause between fading in and out) and then fade it back to 0. I used intervals to create the timing. I dont know of a better way to do it. Anyway if you check out the file under hosting at thetechtree.com you will see it loads slow in IE but fine in firefox. Anyone know why?

ActionScript Code:
var aList:Array = new Array();
aList[0] = "galaxy";
aList[1] = "KOP";
aList[2] = "ramsey";
aList[3] = "sentinel";
var xPos:Number = 336;
var yPos:Number = 265;
//
var speed:Number = 1;
var onOff:Boolean = false;
function fadeIn(targ)
{
if (_root[targ]._alpha < 200)
{
_root[targ]._alpha += 1;
} else
{
intFadeOut = setInterval(fadeOut, speed, targ);
clearInterval(intFadeIn);
}
}
//
function fadeOut(targ)
{
if (_root[targ]._alpha > 0)
{
_root[targ]._alpha -= 1;
} else
{
clearInterval(intFadeOut);
onOff = false;
}
}
//
function screen(myNumber)
{
var targ:String = aList[myNumber];
if (_root[targ]._alpha < 100 && onOff == false)
{
intFadeIn = setInterval(fadeIn, speed, targ);
onOff = true;
}
}
//
var intFadeOut = setInterval(fadeOut, speed);
clearInterval(intFadeOut);
var intFadeIn = setInterval(fadeIn, speed);
clearInterval(intFadeIn);

Internet Explorer And Flash - Freakin Explorer Bar
Okay, I'm pretty new at with Flash, and the whole actionscript/xml/xhtml stuff. When I upload my .swf to the web, I always get that explorer bar dropping bombs everytime I open the page. And I get it on just about every computer. Is there a special embed tag or some trick I'm missing to make that thing go away. Also, why do some sites automatically focus and others not. How do I do that?

Mailto: Any Address
I am working on a holiday flash card and the client wants to ad a sent to friend button. I know how to do this if it is going to be sent to just one specific person like to a webmaster but what is the actionscript to make it open a blank email so the user can fill in the email address and send the link to a friend.

Thanx

No Explorer Task Bar, Address Bar Or Buttons
Can anyone please tell me how to create a movie that is played in explorer without showing the Explorer task bar, address bar and buttons (i.e. Back, Forward, Stop, Refresh, Home, etc.)?

Timeline Controlled By Explorer Address?
Hi!

I've got a question for all of you FLASH-masters out there.

I'm currently working on a website, based on ASP and a database. It loads the content on the page from a database.

Now to the problem. I've got a flash menu/image viewer at the top of the page. ( ex. When I klick on "About" the menu/movie clip shows an "About" image). The problem is that the website is based on only ONE page (default.asp) So, whenever I klick on a link, let's say "About" the page reloads and the About page is shown, BUT! the flash menu/movie is reloaded and moves back to the start of the timeline ( In this case the "welcome" image).

My question is: Is there a way to tell what part of the movie clip to be shown based on the explorer address, or is there another way around this problem?

I don't want to use frames on my website because then the scroller is "miss placed".

I hope I have explaind my problem fairly well, so you all can understan what the h*ll I'm talking about.

Thank you!

Strange Code Appears In I Explorer Address Bar.
I have the following code which I shamelessly cut and pasted into a swf file (I want it to open an html window of desired size, etc.):

here is the code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:window.open('http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.html','windowName','width=400,height=160, top=0,left=0,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no ,menubar=no,status=no,directories=no,location=no') ; void(0);");
}

When I click the button I get:

javascript:window.open('http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.html'
in the address bar.

Why?

Internet Explorer 6.01
Hi,

I have experienced a strange thing lately. My website worked well with Internet explorer 5.5 and still works well with Internet explorer 6.01. However, since I made a windows update on my pc I get scroll bars at the bottom and on the right hand-side of the content window. The website has been built in php and redirect several pages to flash MX. It is working well from there. But as soon as I am using the link from flash that tells me to come back to the content window in php, I get the scroll bars on the content window when it never used to be the case with my other version of Internet Explorer. Maybe I need to add some lines in my source in flash to make it work.

Thank you,

Seb

Internet Explorer
I don't understand why it won't show up on internet explorer. It kind of annoying because internet explorer won't show my transparent images either. Plus it always makes the text bigger than it is supposed to be set at, but that I can't fix. Anyway, can someone help me out so my flash will show up? Also if you could, could someone tell me what file format shows up transparent on IE?

MS Internet Explorer Changes
I just found out about these changes and wonder what everyone here thinks about this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate/

After reviewing what Macromedia says about this, and in light of the fact that I have over 1000 pages on my sites that use Flash, I am inclined to wait for the updating tools that MS and macromedia are working to create.

What do you think?

Pop Window Internet Explorer 5.5
ok we have a site (flash) hosted on some ip address (given in html code). its working fine. but we don't want user to see the ip address so we are using a frameset file hosted on some other server so that when opens the site he should see that frameset page's url. but when we put that index2.htm (given below in html code) one of the links (reservations) in the flash site that opens up a pop up window doesn't work particularly in internet explorer 5.5.

PLEASE SAVE IT AS HTM AND OPEN IN IE 5.5 CLICK ON RESERVATIONS ON THE LEFT LINKS. IT SHOULD OPEN A POP UP WINDOW BUT IT DOES NOT. ALTHOUGH ITS WORKING IN IE 5.0 AND NETSCAPE.

This problem is for IE 6 users only (I am IE6 users too)
Can anyone help me out in fixing this problem ???

Befuddled By Internet Explorer
I'm using a SharedObject to track what the user's last page visited on my site is in order to restore the site to that page if the user leaves the site and then hits <Back>, or if they visit for a second time then they will skip the intro. My dilemma is that the code works as I expect in both Opera 7.0 and Netscape 7.02, but fails in Internet Explorer 6. I've chased this all day, and am positive that IE is properly reading my SharedObject, just not advancing the movie properly with the gotoAndPlay.

The code on my first keyframe is as follows:

loadVariablesNum("variables.txt", 0);
_global.myAnchor = "start";
_level0.goNow = "start";

visitorSO = SharedObject.getLocal("vizantTrove");

if (visitorSO.data.myLocation == undefined) {
visitorSO.data.myLocation = _global.myAnchor;
visitorSO.flush();
}else{
_level0.goNow = visitorSO.data.myLocation;
gotoAndPlay(_level0.goNow);
}

Why doesn't this work with IE? Is there a better way to perform the gotoAndPlay?

Every page on my site has the _global.myAnchor variable set equal to the page's label.

I really appreciate help with this. I'm running out of hair to pull out.

Internet Explorer Caching
Hi,

This seems almost like a newbie question, however something has been driving me mad for years.

How do you ensure that Internet Explorer loads a new version of the swf rather than the cached one?

I've tried everything but it only seems to work intermittently.

Thanks in advance!

Internet Explorer 6 Problem With Pop Ups?
does anyone know if there is an issue with using flash mx and dreamweaver 4 and internet explorer 6??

I'm working on a mac and i'm having problems with my pop up windows in internet explorer 6. Now they work fine in internet explorer 5 and the latest netscape and aol etc... I guess i'm just wondering if anyone knows of any issues with the flash mx and internet explorer 6.

I have created pop up in flash 5 and they work fine in internet explorer 6. What i have noticed is that the code i have used in the html document doesn't so up in the source when viewing in ie6 but it does show up in ep5 etc... it's definately present.

any clues??

i'd appreciate any theories.
