Button That Saves Time Of Release In Asp
Any tutorials or basic help would be apreciated.
I got a button that when i release it i want it to store that time in an asp document i can do the asp but how would i do the AS in flash?
Any hints or tutorials about the subject would be greatly apreciated, im seriously starting to go insane and i dont know what to do im more than a newbie but i sure aint solving this one on my own. Im practicly finnished with my site but until i can get this to work i cant do squat, since moust of the variables on the page depend on the time the button is released.

Please HELP Fla Saves Differently Each Time
I would be extremely grateful if someone can help
I recovered an old project of mine, (whose fla I had accidentally deleted) using ******* SWF Decompiler...I start to continue work on that site like before and everything was going smoothly
But what started to happen is that everytime I saved the fla...certain symbols would get swapped...graphics would be moved left to right...and basically everytime i saved, the fla would changed internally in unexpected ways...I tried using both MX and MX Pro.. I tried copying all the frames and saving them to another timeline...nothing works...Each time I make any further changes to the FLA and Save it...IT opens up different...and just to let u know- just before I save it...I publish it to check if all is well...it is...then after the save...both the fla and further swfs i publish are completely different...graphics are interchanged and all over the place...masks are suddenly visibly and in the wrong place...responding to buttons that they had no link to!!!
Please help?? (((((((((

User Saves Something Done In Swf?
I'm working on a dynamic historical timeline that has tons and tons of data going into it that the user can filter down. The client wants the user to be able to save their timeline out once they are done and reopen it next time they log-in or even view other peoples saved timelines.
Is this possible? Can it be done? Does someone want to come and do it all for me whilst I go up the pub? There's a pork-pie and star wars comic in it for you...
Seriously, any help will be gratefully received.

Saves PHP Instead Of JPG File?
I'm using the JPGEncoder and PHP to export a JPG of a movieclip instance out of my flash movie. Basically the end user hits a "save" button and they should get prompted to save to desktop.
Currently my code is prompting the end user to save my PHP file and not the JPG of the movieclip. Here's my AS3 code
ActionScript Code:
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
var serverPath:String = "";
function createJPG(m:MovieClip, q:Number, fileName:String)
{
var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (m.width, m.height);
jpgSource.draw(m);
var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(q);
var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource);
var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader ("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( serverPath+"jpg_encoder_download.php?name=" + fileName + ".jpg");
jpgURLRequest.requestHeaders.push(header);
jpgURLRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
jpgURLRequest.data = jpgStream;
var jpgURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
//jpgURLLoader.load(jpgURLRequest);
navigateToURL(jpgURLRequest, "_blank");
}
save_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveBtnPress);
function saveBtnPress(e:Event):void
{
createJPG(sketch_mc, 90, "sketch");
}
I'm thinking the problems may lay either in the line:
ActionScript Code:
var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( serverPath+"jpg_encoder_download.php?name=" + fileName + ".jpg");
Or line:
ActionScript Code:
var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource);

Text Input That Saves To Web So Others See It
Trying this question a little differently...
What I want to happen...
On my page I have a text input box and a submit button. Above these I have a display box where the typed text from the visitor will appear. When the visitor types in their text and hits submit, the text appears in the display box. When other users from the net visit the page, they see the new quote.
I am totally lost on where to even start on this one. Am I making sense?

Text Input Box That Saves To Web...
I am not sure if my title is adequately explaining what I want to be able to do. I want to have a text input box on my animation that when the site is visited, someone can type in a short quote, hit submit and have the quote appear in another textbox on the animation. The catch is that I want the new text to be displayed for any new visitors on the site. (basically want to have a visitor type in a favorite quote or whatever that will be displayed on the web for everyone until someone submits a new quote, then that one is displayed....etc.)
I am thinking that when I hit submit, the new quote will have to perhaps save to a txt file on the server that is accessed whenever the SWF is reloaded. Am I on the right track? If so, how do I accomplish this? I assume that I will need some sort of backend, but I am very lacking in that kind of programming.
Thanks for any and all help!

Capturing Where A User Saves Their File To
I have written code to download a file. How can I get the location of the file that the user has just saved it to on their local machine? Do you grab it when using the select listener for the file ref. class? I am going to post it to a textfield like such:
ActionScript Code:
results.text = "You have saved the downloaded file to this location: " + localFileAddress;
// the result will have the path to the file on the users machine

Submit Button Doesn't Work First Time, Does Second Time (using Variables And Php)
I've got a button with the following actions:
code: on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (!enterEmail.length || enterEmail.indexOf("@") == -1 || enterEmail.indexOf(".") == -1) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter an E-mail address";
} else if (!FirstName.length) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter your first name.";
} else if (!LastName.length) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter your last name.";
} else if (!enterCity.length) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter the city/province/country in which you live.";
} else if (wanna = 1) {
loadVariablesNum("emailtest.php", 0, "POST");
EmailStatus = "sending form ... please wait";
output = "I would like to be a part of World of Trout's mailing list!";
loading = "YES";
nextFrame();
}
}
Which connects to this php script.
PHP Code:
<?php
$msg = "";
$user = "myusername";
$password = "";
$db = "test";
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", $user, $password);
if (!$link) die ("cant connect to mysql");
mysql_select_db($db, $link) or die ("cannot connect");
$query = "SELECT email FROM tablename WHERE email='$enterEmail'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($result)){
echo "&EmailStatus=A person with this email address has already entered.";
}
else {
$name=$FirstName." ".$LastName."";
$city=$enterCity."";
$email=$enterEmail."";
$subscribe=$wanna."";
print "&name=".$name;
print "&city=".$city;
print "&email=".$email;
print "&subscribe=".$subscribe;
print "&loading=NO";
}
?>
Here is my problem: if you hit the above mention button once, it spits out the EmailStatus message, but appears to do nothing else. No loading=Yes, no nextframe(). Tthe script is supposed to spit back the loading=NO message, which will take my movie to the appropriate frame, which it does not.
However, if you hit the button a second time, it functions normally, and does everything it is supposed to including recieving the loading=NO message, which moves my movie to the appropriate frame.
To make it simple: I hit the submit info button once, it doesn't function properly, if I hit it again, it works properly.
Is my scripting wrong, my php wrong, or is my server doing something weird?
Hopefully this all makes sense...

Flash Form Writes To Txt File Or Saves SO
I need to take the input of a user in several form fields, and write this to a text file locally. My goal is that the next time the user uses this program, I would use a load vars command and load the vars in that text file created upon the previous use.
I suppose if i could figure out how to do this using the sharedObject rather than text file, that would be ok also.
Any help would be appreciated.

Button Release
Hello,
I'm building a HTML site with flash movies in frames. I made a flash navigation with mc buttons. The mouse-over and mouse-out work fine.
Their up state is an alpha of 70% and the over state is a alpha of 100%
Now i want to leave the buttons white or alpha on 100% when the button is pressed (usability). And stay that way until another button is pressed. I read the post about the classes posted resently but i was wondering if there is an easyer way to do it in my navigation?
I put the navigation .fla file online at: www.spektakle.nl/Top2.fla
Thank's!

User Enters Text Fields - Saves In Database?
I don't even know if this is possible, or how involved but...
I would like to create a United States map, where a user could click on a state to add his or her website. When they click on the state, a form comes up. They fill in the info and a little pin/marker automatically shows up in the State where they originally clicked. Then, other users can click on that marker and it will pop up a box with the info the person entered about themselves.
I'm guessing you would have to have some kind of database set up that flash can save to and pull from???
I know this is probably very complicated, but if anyone knows of a Tutorial that does something similar or if you have other ideas/comments... that would be great!

Flash Webcam (clientside) Saves Images On Server
Hi,
Flash can connect to a local webcam and show the 'movie' in the flashplayer in the client browser.
Is it possible that the user on the clientside makes a snapshot of him/herself and send that snapshot to the serverside?
I'd like registrants to submit their photos with their profile. (it's for a college campus)

Swapping A Button On Release?
Hi everyone!
Does anybody know how to replace one button for another on clicking the button?
I have a button called "Contact me", and on release of this button, it will target a movie clip which displays a bar at the bottom with selection icons such as email, phone number, etc.
I want this button changed to "Hide Me" on release, so that you have an option to close the whole display bar at the bottom.
How to exchange one button for another on release?
I would appreciate your advice.

Getting A Button's Instance Name In On(release)
Just wondering if anybody know if there is a way of getting the button's instance name that was clicked inside the button's on(release) function. Similar to UI button where the component is pass to the event handler function, so you know what UI button was clicked. I can convert the button to a movie clip and use this._name to get the instance name, but just want to know if there is a similar way to do it with a button.

Disable MC As Button After Release
Hi, I've got an inbetween problem here....I can get my MC to act as a button but I can't get it to do 2 very important things at once after the onRelease action. Here is the code I am using ATM:
Code:
about_hot.onRelease = function() {
_parent.screenflicker_mc.gotoAndPlay("flicker");
_parent.sub_hold.attachMovie("about_sub", "about_in", 30);
loadVariables("about1.txt", _parent.sub_hold.about_in.textbox);
};
about_hot.onRelease = function() {
if (selectedButton != 1) {
selectedButton = 1;
if (Number(test) == 1) {
test = 0;
} else {
test = 1;
trace("work");
}
}
};
What I am trying to achieve is when the user releases the button, an MC loads with a text field and show the content of that section, but at the same time the button will disable it's 'clickability' but retain it's rollOver and rollOut attributes. Each section of the above code works on it's own, but I cannot 'join' them together in one chunk, the button won't disable. Any help that someone can offer is much appreciated. I get the feeling someone is going to respond with a 'You cannot have 2 functions that are named the same doing different things...'

On Rollover & On Release On 1 Button
I have a list of buttons (used for nav) across the top of a page. I want it so if the user rolls over the top button a dropdown list will appear under that button. However the user will then need to click on their selection to view that page. this will include the main (rollover) button. So in other words when you rollover the main button a dropdown list will appear. However if you click on the main button you can go to the page for that button. Is there a way I can have a on rollover & a on release on the same button?
TIA

Problem With Button On Release
Ok, I have this script on my button and it worked fine until I added a large movie clip to the scene.
on (release) {
stop();
gotoAndPlay("music", 1);

I want the button, on click, to take the user to scene "music". This all worked great until I added a large movie script into the scene.
Now when I click the button it forwards to the movie clip and not the next scene.
What gives?

Button (rollover,out,release) And MC
Well,
I searched a bunch of forums out there but did not find anything
that helped me solve my problem.
So, If someone can help. Thanks a lot.
Button with 3 Actions:
1. Onrollover
2. Onrollout
3. Onrelease
The button should control a MC (or Picture)like this
1. On rollover, gotoAndStop (like a preview)
2. On rollout, "Hide" MC with gotoAndStop (Frame 1 is empty frame)
3. On release, let MC on stage until another button is selected
BUT!!
If the button is pressed and then moved away the rollout effect
takes place.
How to get rid of that? Here is my code.
If you have a better solution about handle my button.. Let me know.
CODE:
on(rollOver) {
with(AboutMeClip) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
_alpha = 70;
}
with(AboutMeTextClip) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
_alpha = 70;
}
with(AboutMeTopLine) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
with(AboutMe) {
_alpha = 30;
}
}
on (rollOut) {
with(AboutMeClip){gotoAndStop(1);}
_root.AboutMeTextClip.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.AboutMeTopLine.gotoAndStop(1);
with(AboutMe){_alpha = 100;}
}
on (release) {
with(AboutMeClip) {
gotoAndStop(10);
_alpha = 70;
}
with(AboutMeTextClip) {
gotoAndStop(15);
_alpha = 70;
}
with(AboutMe) {
_alpha = 30;

Replacing A Button By Another On Release
Hello,
I would like to replace a button by another once I've clicked on it, so the appearance and actions would change. I've searched the whole Flash Help file and the net, but I found nothing... I'm not even sure if it is feasible?
Here is the detail of what I'm trying to do:
There's a "speaker on" button that tells you the sound is on, but if you click on it the sound will be muted. So I want to change the "speaker on" button to a "speaker off" button once you've clicked on it. When clicked, the "speaker off" button would bring back the sound and go to frame X and play, and of course come back as the "speaker on" button on release. I could figure out the actions I need except for the replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hiding Button After Release?
I'm using flash 8 pro and building a Jeopardy-type quiz game. This consists of a number of buttons which are linked to movie clips containing the questions &
a selection of answers.
The buttons should only be used once, but I can't figure out how to remove it from the root once clicked.
right now I'm using:
on (release) {
_root.A1_Button._visible=false;
gotoAndStop("Q1");
}
on the actual button,where frame Q1 contains the relevant clip. I've also used
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("go1");
_root.A1_Button._visible=false;
}
in the buttons inside the clip which return to the root menu, but neither script will remove (or hide) the button instance from the root timeline.
Can anyone help with this ?

Help With An Animation On Release Of A Button
Hey everyone,
I'm stuck in a situation where I am trying to get an animation to play after a button has been clicked on.
What I'm trying to do is... I have button of a star, when the user rolls over the star I have an animation where the star slowly spins, but if the user clicks on the star, I want the star to then spin fast and then suddenly go toward the screen and disappear. I have the animations done and converted into movieclips. But when the user clicks on the button the animation will only play all the way through if the user holds down the button. If they let go it stops. I just want it so if they click on it once it will then play without having to hold it down.

Loader -> .swf W/ Button. On (release)?
Hi,
I tried a search using a few keywords, then I tried browsing through the tutorials. I apologize if this question has been asked and answered several times. I'm usually pretty good about finding answers on my own. I'm new to using Loader component instances, so that's my excuse.
I have a Loader instance on the Main Stage that loads an External .swf movie. The External movie has buttons that do spiffy things.
When the Main Stage plays, the External movie loads and I can RollOver (etc) those nested buttons.
Let's say I'd like to have these buttons perform some function on the Main Stage, like (in the MainStage) _root.GotoAndStop(x), or in another Loader instance's .swf movie, like AuxWindow.value=x. (This is an .swf of Thumbnail buttons)
How do I address these functions, values from the buttons in the External .swf?
I tried _root, _parent, super, (AuxWindow), etc., but the problem seems to be that this is a button being accessed through a Loader component. What am I missing? I can't put new buttons on the Main Stage either over or under the Loader; either (over) the loader doesn't register the spiffy RollOver things, or (under) I can't click the Main Stage buttons. I tried having the Main Stage access values from within the Loader instance, and failed. I'm actually hoping the answer isn't too obvious. (ow, my ego)
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.
