Intranet With FLASH MX And ColdFusion?
Hi,

I'm building an intranet with only Flash MX. This project will be distributed on CD-ROM. It consists of different products - about 2000 of them. These products are accessible with a main interface that is divided in three panels. Top and left are buttons and the center one shows the request information.

Basically, everything seems to be working. The only part that is left and tedious is to enter in a flash file, the images to be displayed and the related information. This SWF is then called in the main interface by the user's request. I have done about 500 SWF by now - Eash SWF is the same except for the pictures and the info (which does not change very often from on product to the next).

Should I have used ColdFusion with my Flash project? I do not know this software but would be willing to try it. Can it simplify my job? Or have I more or less set up my intranet just fine.

Please let me know - any suggestions is REALLY APPRECIATED!

Flash Intranet Restrictions
I am currently working on my company Intranet and there are areas where I would like to use Flash (primarily for video clips). However, there are several client machines that do not have Internet access. As such, I am unable to access http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0 in the Javascript function AC_FL_RunContent which is generated automatically when inserting the .swf or .flv file.

Does anyone know if there is a way to install the required download on the internal servers and redirect there instead?

Thanks for any assistance.

Help Installing Flash Player On Intranet
Hi,
We need to install the Flash Player on our Intranet. I do have a complete license to do so with Macromedia, but the instructions are not helping me much, almost seems like the Flash Deploy Kit is for something else completely ... anyway ...
First, what file do I put up on my virtual? Is it SAFlashPlayer.exe?
Second, what do I change the html code to? Currently, MX generates html code that seems to go to the internet in to lines of code as shown below

<SNIPPED>
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
<SNIPPED>
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
<SNIPPED>

Can anyone help out here?

Flash Intranet Fees ? Newbie
Hello,

I am converting a FrontPage intranet into Flash MX. The FrontPage site is divided in 5-6 sections. Each section has about 50-60 HTML page with one picture and a description.

I have made a similar set-up where each section is called with a button - the main Flash page loads. The user then enters the SAP number and the picture is displayed in the Flash page with the appropriate information.

There are many, many pages to re-design....

How much would you charge for a project like this? Charging for the whole website or by page. If by page, how much per page?

Newbie learning here.

Thanks,

Luke

Flash Intranet No Longer Working
I created a Flash Intranet site (designed using Swish!)for our company a few years ago. It sits on the main server and is accessed through a drive mapping. Its only about 10 pages in size containing various links and company information. This has worked fine in the past.

However, today i try to start the site up by clicking on my desktop shortcut it fires up the HTML page containing the flash animation but just shows a black square where it should be. I have checked all the files are present and that I can open up the relevant .swi files. All seems fine. Any ideas what has happened. I am thinking of trying a restore to before i do so any ideas!!

Thanks in advance

Install Flash-control In INTRAnet...
Hi!
I developed Intranet-site which use a lot of Flash-movies. Unfortunately Intranet is not connected to Internet, so if user's browser is without installed Flash-control then user can't see anything...And there is no sense to redirect him to wwww.macromedia.com, because there is no Internet connection...
What can I do in that case???
(I can make and non-Flash version of my pages, but I don't want...)
Can the installation be started from Intranet-Web-server where my site is located? And what files exactly I need to download from www.Macromedia.com???
Thanx for any help!!

Flash Player Version Control Problems (intranet)
I control a corporate intranet where many users do not have internet access. Most have Flash player v5 or older, and I can't get things standardized very easily.

I just moved into MX, but I have been publishing down to Flash 5 format so far. The trouble is, IE users keep getting pounded for internet passwords when they attempt to load a page containing v5 content published from MX. Apparently MX is triggering an auto-update mechanism in v5, and the users without internet access are being asked for a password they don't have. I redistribute the player to the intranet site, but I am reluctant to "force" users to upgrade to v6 right now.

Help?!

Also, why doesn't the install process override any older versions? I have to instruct some users to find and delete their existing .ocx file(s) before their supposedly successful instal of v5 actually runs. This is amazingly annoying. I can't see why anyone other than developers would want to have multiple versions of the player installed simultaneously, and even if they did, why the default would be the oldest rather than the newest version.

<whoosh> Glad to unload that bit of ugliness.

Any help will be immediately appreciated.

1 Page Flash Site For IntrAnet - Plugin Detector Needed?
I am creating a Flash 5 webpage for a client where the audience will be in house only. In other words, it will only be viewed over the LAN via the intranet, not internet. So I know my users will have good (great!) connection speed and fast machines (pent III).

My question is do I need to code a plugin detector? Everyone has Windows (no mac) and all the machines have NT4. If for some strange reason they dont have the plugin, will the correct publish settings automatically install it?

I need to make this as simple as possible for the users. Even though the hardware is good, its a finacial company and to put it mildly, some of these people leave their computers on so they dont have to figure out how to turn it back on the next morning! They only know how to use the exact application for their job and have trouble with drop-and-drag, never mind installing a plug in.

I would hope the following is automatically happening if the user's machine is as I describe above...

User clicks the shortcut on their desktop to take them to the URL that houses this site. If FLASH 5 present, play the intro, else automatically upgrade to FLASH 5 from 4, else automatically install Flash 5 if no Flash at all. I was going to turn on the GIF publish feature and have a gif file that explains in great detail how to install the player. It is my understanding that this gif automatically shows up for people that dont have the plugin if the auto install/upgrade doesn't work.

Thanx, Peter

How To Create A Quiz With Free Quiz Template In Adobe Flash
This article will demonstrate how to create a simple online quiz, complete with options for feedback, scoring and tracking, using free Flash quiz template. Please ensure you can manage to use Adobe Flash MX, Flash 8, Flash CS3, or Flash CS4 (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/) before attempting this.

The quiz template is included in Flash MX and above versions, and it is designed to automatically track results and send them to a learning management system configured for your quiz. Furthermore, it should be SCORM and AICC compliant for using in Learning Management System (LMS).

If you're not sophisticated with Adobe Flash editing, you might be interested in the Flash quiz tool Wondershare QuizCreator (http://www.sameshow.com/quiz-creator.html) for rapid development as replacement.

First of all, you can download a 30 day trial version of Adobe Flash from the Adobe's official website (http://www.adobe.com/downloads/).

1. Create a new Flash document choosing the existing Quiz template.
File >New > Templates tab > 'Quiz' Category > 'Modern Photo Quiz_style2 ' Template

2. A fully functional quiz with templates for Drag and Drop, Fill in the Blank, Hot Objects, Hot Spot, Multiple Choice, and True or False, will open.

3. Test the movie
Control > Test Movie

4. Save the Flash document, giving it a name.
File > Save

- Customize Quiz Template

For detailed instructions on how to edit the quiz template to your requirements, learn the official Flash quiz template tutorial at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/a...quiz_tutorial/.

- Adding A Single Quiz in Flash

You can add any question types as a single quiz (e.g. true or false type) into your Flash document at any time, however these standalone quiz interactions, when used outside of the quiz template, are not designed for SCORM tracking in LMS.

1. If you want to insert a single quiz as learning interaction, you can just do like this:
Window > Common Libraries > Learning Interactions

2. A library of the various learning interactions will open up. Drag the one you want onto the stage.

- Alternative Flash Quiz Solution

As we know, not every user can use Flash programming perfectly to create quizzes. So over the market, there's some rapid quiz authoring tool like
Wondershare QuizCreator (http://www.sameshow.com/quiz-creator.html) to help make Flash quizzes in an easier way.

At last, for more knowledge about using Adobe Flash MX, Flash 8, Flash CS3, or Flash CS4, please refer to Adobe Flash Support Center:

Intranet Help
Hello everyone, I am designing a flash site for an intranet and I am having trouble. It seems that users with internet access can view the pages fine, but users without internet access are blocked by our firewall software. Is this a firewall software issue, or something I'm doing wrong in flash. Any help would be appreciated.

GetURL To Intranet Link
We did a Flash presentation for a client and at the end of the presentation we trigger a getURL command that is supposed to take them to their intranet.

The client is saying "it isn't working", what that means I'm not sure. So I sent her the same link in an email and said click this and tell me what happens. She said "it worked".

So my question is what could be causing this.

ActionScript Code:
getURL("http://clientsite.com/page.asp","_blank");

Could it have anything to do with
A. The _blank target
B. Something to do with their servers that they aren't allowing people in from an "outside" link.

I'm stuck with this because it worked from the email.

Intranet Content Available On The Internet
My compay wants flash on its intranet which is also available from the internet. When testing on the internet no flash.swfs can be seen.

How can I make the flash intranet content available on the internet.

Thanks for any help.

GetURL Question With Intranet
I seem to be running across a problem where I cannot open up any links that I create. I'm sure the problem is because there is no http:// in the address because I'm pulling from my companies internal network. Here is what I need to do. I need to pull a document (we'll say a word document) from the network which has an address like this: \File01departmentCall CenterPrivate and then te word document would be in the "Private" Folder. I'm still new with AS, but would like to learn. I'm using MX 2004 as well. Any ideas on how to do this?

Alternative .xml Files For Internet And Intranet
On our Intranet I have an audio player delivering multiple mp3's referenced by accessing the links from an external .xml file as standard and all works well :-)

MY PROBLEM = I am now asked to make this available on the Internet. For technical and security reasons if the user is internal on the Intranet they will get the flash file on the Intranet server and if on the Internet will get the Flash file from a duplicate site on an internet server.

This is the code I am using to send a user to the appropriate file for a video (together with an include file containing the two url's to the Intranet and the internet) which works fine.

QUESTION how do I code the param or obect tag (or both) to direct the user dependent on there access iether Intranet or Internet.

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'id','myId','type','','width','320','height','240' ,'movie','<%=spurl("newVid2")%>?video=<%=spurl("Ai rMiles.flv")%>' ); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object id="myId" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="240" >
<param name="movie" value="<%=spurl("player.swf")%>?video=<%=spurl("Ai rMiles.flv")%>" />
</object>
</noscript>

Thanks for any help as I am really lost on this.

How Hard To Create Intranet Promo
Newbie wants to know how long it would take someone who Knows Flash to devise an Intranet announcement for a Brown Bag.
I envision 3 scenes: One where a cartoon figure wants out from the center of the stage, mouths the words of the Brown Bag topic which appear on the screen, and then background curtains pull open from the center with the man still standing on stage.

Is this easy or hard for someone who knows Flash? and about how long should it take?

GetURL...trying To Link To Local Htm File On Intranet...very Frustrating
I will be extremely grateful if someone can help. I'm a newbie, by the way.

Trying to set up a getURL to link to a local htm file, NOT a page on the internet. All the tutorials I have read tell me how to link to a file on the internet eg. getURL("http://www.sitename.com")

I'm trying to set up an intranet site for my training college where students can access training resources etc on the local network. Therefore my getURL needs to point to a local file, not one on the internet.

I'm trying to link to a .htm file that resides on my computer.

Does the htm file have to be in the same folder as the .fla file??

How do I do this??

I'm working on a Mac, Os X, MX 2004, if that makes any difference.

I am frustrated to the point of tears, and have wasted numerous hours trying to work this out, and I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

Drag And Drop Quiz - Why Do Targets Keep Appearing In Subsequent Quiz Questions?
I'm trying to create an e-learning quiz that will be a series of drag and drop questions (one per page). The user will be asked a question and will have 8 images visible, but only one of them is correct. So, there are 8 drags to one target.

When the user drags an incorrect image to the target, a text image appears that says to try again, and the image will return to its original location. When the correct question is dragged to the target, a button appears that will take them to the next question. Everything was working until I started to create question 2. I created new drag and drop instances for question 2, but it seems that the images from question 1 continue to be visible in the subsequent question(s) when testing my movie. Depending on how many choices I try to drag before I pick the correct answer in question 1, I also find that some of the button states are no longer active in question 2. What I am doing wrong?

I'm new to AS3 and actionscript in general. Part of my code is based on this tutorial: http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/drag-and-drop-in-as3/.

I'm attaching my .fla file in hopes this will help others who are having the same problem.

Quiz Or Quiz Template Help For The Clueless?
Hi all. I just wanted to make a simple quiz in flash and then take that quiz and throw it in with some other older flash samples I made. I'm losing my mind as my "handle" for this forum implies

I tried following the help section for the flash quiz template, but I got even more confused! The help/tutorial talks about using a randomizer and I couldn't find the randomizer for the life of me!!

Is there anyone out there that can help me? Maybe you have a script for a basic quiz I can use, or you can send me somewhere online that will help me out. I looked at Atomic Learning's site, but they didn't say if they have tutorials for making a quiz. I have the paperback, "Teach yourself Flash MX in 24 hours" and when I got to page 310, Task: Make a simple draggable object, #2 I had no %$!! clue as to where I was supposed to find "the button instance and open the Actions panel" let alone the "plus button, actions, movie clip control, startDrag".

Can/Will someone please, please, please help me? If I need to be talked/through over the phone or IM, I'll pay for your tutoring services. I'm in northern cali.

Also need to know how the heck to throw the old flash movies (or files) into one big movie with the quiz. Of course, I needed it yesterday.

Thanks!

Help Quiz Template Or Other Quiz Resources?
I'm reading the macromedia tutorial on using the built in quiz template and it keeps talking about AICC and SCORM compliant learning management systems...but it doesn't say anything about using the quiz template if you are not using an LMS. Does anybody know:

1. If I can use the quiz template, generating results and all, if I am not using an LMS?
2. If not, any resources on the web that can help me build a quiz from scratch. I'm not soo good at the actionscripting, and usually rely on web resources to get me through that part of the process. Something tells me there will be a lot of AS involved in scoring a quiz.

Thanks soo much!!!!

[F8] Flash Quiz - Plz Need Some Help
Hi there,
i'm trying to develop a quiz in flash.
Searching on the net, I found a quiz in flashkit by sephiroth.it by Alessandro Crugnola.
His quiz has a script that puts the questions and the answers in random order.
What i'm looking for is to not select the answers by clicking the mouse, but using the keyPress handler.
Using the keyPress handler the script selects only the first answer.
I tried a lot but i didn't find any solution..
2 hours ago, I thought that I found a solution using if(this._name=="answer1") but it works only with the "on(release)" handler, when I replace it with the on(keyPress) the script selects again only the first answer...
Any help would be much appreciated...

this is the link where you could d/l the quiz:
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Appli...5192/index.php

and below is the btn source.

Thank you in advance.

on(release){
if(this._name=="answer1")
{
if(!_root.Done){
point._visible = 1
_root.myChoice = thisChoice;// choice
removePoints(_name,this);// remove other points
// making the coice
trace(_root.myChoice);
if(_root.myChoice != undefined){
_root.Done = true;
_root.totalAnswer++;
if(_root.myChoice){
giusta._visible = 1
_root.correctAnswer++
}
// displaing right & wrong answers
if(!_root.myChoice){
errata._visible = 1
}
if(_root.totalAnswer == _root.toDisplay){
_root.aspetta.itsEnd = true
_root.aspetta.play();
} else {

QUIZ In Flash
I am trying to create a quiz for a students. Where on a CD a flash movie opens with link to a) a long course movie and b) a test

The course movie is already created and works fine
Then I can create a exe flash file with autorun to link to this movie. The idea is the student get the CD and places in the CD the flash movie open with two links. Link one links to standard swf movie. This all works Once watched they can close the window down returning to the lauched flash movie. I can do all of this no problem. The issue comes in some way there need to 20 question that I can score and rank. The interaction of use needs to recorded to text file that I can direct them to at the end of test.

So the question would be is it possible via action scripting of a method in flash to create a text file in the users my documents folder and then write to based on buttons pressed or text imputs ? Some ideas if this is possible and chat about quizs would be great.

Hope thats enough info.

[help] Flash Quiz

Hi All,
Sorry to bother here, i'm seekin for help.
I'm tryin to make a quiz, for my class (i'm a part-time teacher), and i thought it will be fun to make it like sort of "who wants to be millionare" things. I'm not a regular flash user, so there're many things that i don't understand about flash.

This is the interface, and there i gave numbers that i will refer later.

After reading the manual and browsing around, i finally be able to create a so-called script, but then i face some difficulties and obstacles, so i like to seek any help from all you masters and gurus here.
My questions are.

1.Like the "who wants to be a millionare" quiz, this quiz is also have increasing score, like when you choose the right answer, your score will increase. How do i create "scores" (number three), what kind of script/command should i use?

2.How do i create several random sets for the questions and answers (number 1 and 2), i mean if i finally be able to create a quiz here, can i create several set of random question instead of just repeating the same?

Terribly sorry for my bad english, i'm not very used to it.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards.
