Send An E-mail From A Flash Website
Hi.

Say I have a flash website. Is it possible to create a form a user can fill and then send that info as an e-mail to the webmaster's e-mail account? Can I do this using only flash? Does the website domain require anything specific, like database/php support? If I require anything besides Flash, can you give me any hints on how to achieve this?

Thank you.

Hi,

If you go to a flash 6 web site and you only have the flash 5 plugin, will you still be able to see some content? or will the entire site be blank?

Fash And XML
I have a XML file that looks like the following

Code:

<bioContent>
Bio information::

Name:: Richard
Location:: USA/Maine
Age:: 23
Brithdate:: 6/27/1983
Education:: AS/BS/MS working on BS/MS
School Location:: RIT
Major:: Information Technology
Completion Date:: 6/2007

::Facts About M3::
I'm a neat guy who likes what he does for a living and having fun. I
believe you should play harder then you work. I'm from the coast of
Maine where I was born and rised. I like to listen to Live Music and I
enjoy all types of music.
</bioContent>

IN my flash in my actionscript I have the following code.

Code:

//initizle TextArea component
bioGraphy.html=true;
bioGraphy.wordWrap=true;
bioGraphy.multiline=true;
bioGraphySc.setScrollTarget(bioContent);
//bioGraphy.label.condenseWhite=true;
//load in XML
bioContent = new XML();
bioContent.ignoreWhite=true;
bioContent.load("bioContent.xml");
bioContent.onLoad = function(success)
{
if(success)
{
bioGraphy.text = bioContent;
}
};
//End Of XML Handler

//Scroller Buttons

//Scrolling Text Section UP
scrollerUp.onPress = function()
{
bioGraphy.scroll -= 3;
};

//Scrolling Text Section Down
scrollerDown.onPress = function()
{
bioGraphy.scroll += 3;
};
//END of Scroller Handler

Now its not returning my xml in format context and not showing links as links. what I'm I doing wrong?

Extreme Fash Player
I recently attended a class for Flash MX and there was some talk of the speed scrifices that the Flash player incurs so that the download size would be as small as possible. I was wondering how many people would be willing to download a larger file for "Extreme" flash movies such as gaming. I dont know if the codebase for such a version of the player could still be shared for the most part with the current version to keep them from the responsibility of maitaining 2 players....but I for one think that they would be wise to offer a faster version. I bet if given the choice people will begin to download it with similar numbers as the current player...after all broadband is making its way around now. What do you guys think? Can we petition Macromedia?

Thanks for you help - appreciated

I'm Looking For A Specific Fash Player Can Anyone Help Me Please?
Hey all,

I have recently been looking for a rather specific Flash player.

I have a link to a website that the given player is on in the top right hand corner it's

I'm wondering if anyone is able to tell me where I can get this player from and maybe also drop me a link.

I have looked through google and got to about page ten and gave up as it were just becoming players that aren't associated with flash and just players that you can upload FLV's to.

Any help would be great,

Thanks in advance

Fash File Size
I've created a "small" flash website for a client. I was conscious of file size from the beginning but my final SWF file is approx. 1.6MB. I'm sure this is because of the 15+ portfolio images you can navigate through. I've selected all unused items from my library and deleted them. This size is ok for DSL but Some clients might have dial-up connections. I don't want them to have to wait for 5+ mins before the home page animation begins.

My questions are: Is 1.6mb too big? Is there a way to shrink the file size?

If I created a cool intro animation, how do I have my portfolio images loading undetected in the background?

Fash FAQ Sorta System
Hello all, i was curious as to how i would do this...or if it even at all possible...

You know how in HTML you can set anchor points in a document, where when you click a button it will go down to that anchor? such as a FAQ system where the user clicks a question and the list is automatically moved down to show the resulting answer, while still alowwing the user to scroll back to the top or down manually if need be. Now, i have NO idea how i could do this in flash...if it would even be at all possible...the workings would be like this:

|list of questions here|
text box with 1 long list of all answers. when a question is clicked on the box moves the display the appropriate answer, whilest still being to scroll around after being moved to the location...

consult a normal faq or something if you still dont get it...

any help would be greatly appreciated!

(HELP) Importing Videos Into Fash 5
I can only import Quicktime (.mov) videos into Flash 5. How can I import other types?

Fash Video Player And XML ONLY
I have a more complicated question about XML, PHP and Flash integration (already posted) but I thought I'd warm you all up with this question...

How would I call a single FLV file (Angel_teaser.flv) from an external XML file (_newentry.xml). I've done some tutorials with using arrays, but for some reason i can't figure out how to associate one FLV with one SWF through the magic of XML.

we could say that the XML node of the video is like this:

<video><src_big>Angel_teaser.flv</src_big></video>

Thanks,

Shawn

Fash Slide Viewer In Dreamweaver
Hello Everyone:

This question did not generate any advice in the MX forum, but perhaps someone here might be able to lend a hand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I took a simple slide viewer file off this discussion group and used it with success. Using the same file, but changing the script to fit another use, I now cannot get it to work in Dreamweaver! I cannot figure out what is different.

Attached is the FLA and SWF files as well the associated images. I can get the SWF file to play fine outside of Dreamweaver. You can see the result (or lack thereof) at: http://www.flavorinvisible.com/stills.html.

In Dreamweaver I can double-click on the SWF file in the Files Menu and it plays fine. As soon as I drag it into a Dreamweaver page, it stops playing!

HELP!

Fash 5 Bible: Good For MX 2004?
Hello everyone;

Im a beginner in flash and am looking for a learning resource which can start me from beginning to "end."

My friend recently gave me his copy of the Flash 5 Bible, I have Flash MX 2004 and was wondering if this book would still be of use to me?

Trying To Create Fash Forward Button Script...pls Help
Hi, I am trying to create a button that fast forwards the flash movie.

I can get the fast forward button to jump the movies forward "current frame+10", but want to know if there is script that will speed the movie up while depressed and play when released.

Is there action script that will increase the frame rate while the button is depressed or will loop "currentframe+x"while depressed or any other method?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Most Common Fash Web Site Size For Browser Fitting?--------------------?-------
what sizes do you make your movie so it fits in most monitors with out scrolling?

I made my whole site, with the perfect pixels, for all my pixel fonts, but made the site on my 17' mac screen. I made it at780 x 590 px, because a friend told me too. Noo Good! ends up after i worked the entire summer, when I went to upload to the server, the site was too large, to fit in most people's monitors without scrolling. What is the size, should I build for normal monitors? I got screwed, because after, I did all my text, pro"text"ing me form the "evil" blur, I had to resize the swf. in dreamweaver when putting on the server, and all my perfect pixels were ruined, and the good old, "evil" blur came and atttacked me and everyone else's monitor who visited, www.carpeinternational.com on the world wide web. Now, I was stuck switching the dynamic text scrollers, to Arial sz. 13, which looked the best, with the "evil" blur. And here I am today. wondering, what is the size, the sweet size, I should start with now, as I am building additions to my site. Don't want to end up again, up the creek, with a blurred pixel font. Please my flash friends, gimmie the low-down on some sizing. Hope everyone is well.

Cheers!

I'm Trying To Backup Fash Files To Move Them Onto A Difference Comoputer

Can Fash Media Server Stream Live IP Video?
Our system has about 100 live cameras (NTSC feed) coming into our data center. The NTSC feed is converted to IP using Axis Video Encoders. The Axis encoders pump out IP-based feeds in motion jpeg format. We want to move away from this format and towards streaming FLV so video will integrate into our Flash application better.

Will the latest version of the Flash Media Server software register these IP feeds and stream them in realtime, when requested from our application? We're trying to make a purchase decision and aren't sure if Adobe products will even be able to handle the IP feeds directly.

Thanks.

Dada Mail/Flash Setup (formerly Known As Mojo Mail)
Can anyone tell me how I might go about integrating Flash and Dada?

I have Dada all set up, but in its current state I need to have a button in my main movie that opens a pop-up directed at the subscription URL, once there the user can enter their e-mail and subscribe to my list. I would like to have an input text box in my main movie that can communicate the e-mails to Dada. Something similar to what you find on the majority of website mail lists. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

PHP Form-mail Being Recieved As JUNK-MAIL
hello, i'm having trouble with a PHP form-mail for flash that i grabbed from http://www.bigjolt.com
i tried contacted the dude himself, but no response.
the problem is that after the form clears, i recieve the mail
in my Hotmail 'junk-mail'
i tried adjusting my Hotmail junk-mail filter but had no luck.
plus if i email myself on the form, it should just be like emailng yourself through a regualar email client, which doesnt go to the junk mail box.

basically i need a PHP script with a flash-form thats easy to configure, and that also sends a custom message back to the user.

you can try out the one i have right now here:
http://zain.squarepusher.info

and see if it comes in your junk mail or what??

thanks a lot!~

Dada Mail (formerly Mojo Mail) And Flash
Does anyone have experience interfacing Dada Mail with Flash? I'm trying to set up a mail list in Flash MX 2004 (e-mail, name, and send button). I have Dada Mail configured on the server, but currently I have to direct viewers to a seperate page outside my site in order to enter their info.

PS- I am not opposed to scrapping Dada Mail if anyone can tell me a simpler way of going about this.

Thanks,
Mike

Not Receiving E-mail From Mail Form
Hey all,

I know that there have been dozens of posts regarding mail form problems. I've read over all of them, but haven't found anything to help with my problem.

I have a very simple mail form on my flash site, and am using a .php file to handle the information and send it to my email. It all appears to be functioning correctly, except I'm not receiving my emails.

I've checked with my server and they said everything appears to be in order, and it must be a problem with my script. I've done this many times in HTML, but this is my first in Flash. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm attaching my flash file, and I'll print my .php below.

<?

$adminaddress = "form@outshinewebdesign.com";
$siteaddress ="http://www.outshinewebdesign.com";
$sitename = "Outshine Web Design";

//No need to change anything below ...
// Gets the date and time from your server
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");

// Gets the IP Address
if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

// Gets the POST Headers - the Flash variables
$action = $HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] ;
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'] ;
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'] ;
$comments = $HTTP_POST_VARS['comments'] ;

//Process the form data!
// and send the information collected in the Flash form to Your nominated email address

if ($action == "send") {
//
mail ("$adminaddress","Info Request",
"A visitor at $sitename has left the following information

Name: $name

The visitor commented:
------------------------------
$comments

//This sends a confirmation to your visitor
mail ("$email","Thank You for visiting $sitename",
"Hi $name,

Thank you for your interest in $sitename!

Cheers,
$sitename
$siteaddress","FROM:$adminaddress") ;

//Confirmation is sent back to the Flash form that the process is complete
$sendresult = "Thank you. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.";
$send_answer = "answer=";
$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);
echo $send_answer;

Searchable Website Vs Slick Website...when To Draw The Line
Just curious what everyone thinks here:

So, we all know how search engines have a hard time reading flash sites. Well, I have come to a road block in my designing...I have clients that want their sites in the search engines but also want a certain amount of 'tech' to them! I can design pages with 'some' flash, enough to make it interesting, BUT if they want a 'fully searchable' page, what do we do?
I can type html all day long but it will never compare to the slickness of flash. I just finished my first 'full html' site in over a year(stuck on flash) and I am blown away by the clarity! It makes flash sharpness look dull! (sorry)

**My Question:
If you had a client that wanted a high tech site and also wanted to be 'searchable', what would you do??

***I'd like to hear all opinions, reasons and answers***
