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.)? Also, How can I prevent the user from resizing the window? Finally, how can I make the movie autoplay if I put it on a CD?

Explorer Task Bars
How do you make flash movies viewable without Internet Explorer task bars?
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?
Chris :-)

toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,res

Erasing IE Address Bar And Buttons

what is the action script or how do i have my flash window have no IE buttons and personalize the bar?
Using One Function To Address Multiple Buttons
I have 10 buttons that does the same thing. It calls the same action i.e getURL("javascript:changeNavBar()");
The button list can grow in the future..
Instead of adding the same action to each and every button, how can I use one method to address all the buttons?
like adding the code in frame one that will address all the buttons,
Please help thanks..
Instead of foing on(release) {
getURL("javascript:changeNavBar()");
}
on every button how can I do it in a funtion that will apply this action to all buttons.

How To Make Radio Buttons Select A Different Email Address
Hello Gurus, I'm very new to flash and probably dont know all the words needed to search for the right solution are, so my appologies if this is very obvious.
I have a working HTML form that uses the post method to send variables to an asp page on a server that I do not have access to change in any way.
<form method="POST" action="http://development1.digitalvirtue.net/mailing.asp" name="form1">
It also uses some hiden fields (they told me to include them)
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.chilli-images.com/"/>
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Contact Form from website"/>
<input type="hidden" name="recipient">
<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="Name,Company,Email,Telephone,Message" />
it uses a drop combo box to select different email addresses to send to
<select name="recipient" id="recipient">
<option value="simon@chilli-images.com">simon</option>
<option value="Matt@chilli-images.com">Matt</option>
<option value="enquiries@chilli-images.com">enquiries</option>
<option value="email@asabeaumont.co.uk">web design</option>
</select>
However I would like to make the form in flash and use 4 radio buttons to select one of the 4 email recipients.
The group of the 4 radio buttons i have called recipients and I have assigned a data value of the email addresses to each one of them.(the email address)
Do I have to include all of the hidden input types that I was advised to use for the HTML form if so where would I put all of these in the flash movie and how do I correcly assign the email form to select the correct address from a radio button?
Is it true that it will only work if uploaded to the server?
These are the text field I would like to use Name,Company,Email,Telephone,Message
This is very much appreciated if anyone could help me thankyou.
ASSIGNIN VALUES TO RADIO BUTTONS AND SUBMITTING IT TO EMAIL AN ADDRESS
Hi,
I think I'm missing something regarding simple RADIO BUTTONS in FLASH.
I am trying to create a simple form that will submit the value of a radio button to an email address. I can't seem to get my head around how this is done in FLASH, as it seems very different from HTML
I have a SCENE with 5 RADIO BUTTONS on it (dragged out from common library / smart clips). I want these radio buttons to have a VALUE (HTML lingo) and be able to SUBMIT that value to an email address when I have CLICKED the radio button AND then clicked "SUBMIT" ie... I want the "SUBMIT" button to submit the VALUE assigned to the radio button.
In a nutshell:
WHAT is the VALUE the RADIO button is submitting - the LABEL or the NAME (in clip parameters)?
And how do I get a SUBMIT button to submit the VALUE to an email address?
What code do I use, and where do I put it?
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but I've checked out several tutorials and some FLA's, but nothing seems to be helping me.
I'm a DREAMWEAVER user, so anyone who has created a form there, knows how easy it is, that's exactly what I'm trying to do in FLASH...
Any help would truly be appreciated!!!
Thank you for your patience with my question!!!
Internet Explorer Is Snubbing My Buttons
Internet Explorer doesn't open my mp3 but firefox will. When I hit the button I am brought to an Action Canceled page I discovered that if I hit the refresh/reload button in internet explorer it will give the option to download the mp3 ,but of course I don't want my visitors to have to do this.
I am using the GetURL .... has anyone else encountered this problem?
website is www.savevsspell.com under the lyrics and audio

Internet Explorer Referesh (F5) Makes Buttons Stop Working
Hi All,
I've seen other people have the same issue with this on here but haven't found any solutions. Does anyone know why when an IE user refreshes the page that some of the buttons will cancel out.
it works fine the first time, then the "down" and "reset" (middle inner arrows) buttons will stop functioning. The other buttons still function correctly.
Thanks in advance
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?

How To Tell A MC To Do One Task Then Start Another?
Is it possible to put an action on a button that tells a movie clip to complete one task then move onto another? Like do this then do this. I'm not too experienced with actionscript. Does anyone know if its possible to do this?
Task Scheduler
Hi, I`d like to make a task scheduler, that trigger certain events, perhaps "get url" or start an mp3 player/playlist, on a specific, date, time, week etc. What i want to make, is a "radio", a computer that plays mp3 files from a playlist (500 songs). It should also play 4-8 commercial spots pr. hour. These spots could mute the music from the playlist, play, and restore the volume level of the playlist.
Ive tried the task scheduler in Win, but its very hard to find a dynamic way to schedule tasks, one that can perhaps ovveride certain tasks, that can disable all at once etc.
Let's say a store has a pc that plays mp3`s, plays it over the stores soundsyste through the pc`s soundcard, id like to make a flashbased application that can handle the schedules of the commercial spots within the playlist, in different intervals and time schedules. The playlist will play everyday (besides sunday), the spots will somethimes differ from day to day, and id like the ability to program ahead tasks for the weekend, hollidays etc.
Like i said, 4-8 spots an hour, somethines just one spot played 2 times from 14:00 to 15:00 etc. Has any1 been doing similar things in flash, or know anywhere I can find a tutorial for this kind of application ?
By the way, thanx for a great forum, ure the best.

[F8] Little Task, Edit My Fla Please
Simple problem if you're not crap at actionscript like me!
Problem: I want my flash mp3 player to display a picture when a track is selected. Eg you click the track form the playlist and the relvant picture shows up!
Here is the mp3 player I have been editing and skinning, and Here is an mp3 player that was kindly created for me to illustrate how to have changing pictures.
All i need doing is for someone to edit the player that doesnt have changing images, to have them, by using the already created code!
Here is a .rar containing all the files, the xml's, and fla's you need. I have already created the extra nodes within the xml's so all that needs changing is the playlists actionscript. PLEASE can somebody help me out here, I would be increidbly greatuful, I have tried it myself but I just cant seem to get it to work. Thank you so much in advance! Let me know if you're going to give it a go.
Stupid <a> Task
Salut,
I've put a simple animation in a HTML page.
I want this anim to be clickable and send user to an other html page.
Since there's no more <object> and <embed> stuff but "AC_RunActiveContent" JSFunction, I could no longer wrap my anim with an <a> tag, it simply doesn't work. So I've set a transparent button above all in flash who says :
Code:
function fn(event:MouseEvent):void {
var pageRealisation:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com")
navigateToURL(pageRealisation, "_parent");
}
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fn);
But Firefox think its a popup and block it, and Safari creates a NEW window to open it ! Is there any HTML (JS) way to set a link ?
thxxx, Sylvain.

Is Flash Right For This Task?
Hi,
I'm new to Flash, just downloaded the Flash 8 Pro trial version today.
I have a 10 min 15fps swf file produced with Camtasia Studio 3.1.2. Unfortunately, they have a bug in that version that produces an swf that always loops and never stops. I cannot rely on controller or script overides to solve this, I must make the standalone swf stop looping.
I made a new Flash swf doc project, imported the swf to stage, went to last frame, added a stop command, and published as swf only. The resulting swf does stop, but looks bad as if it has a different resolution. Also, one of my test swfs only loaded partially. I changed to doc setting to "content" to get the resolution right, but still looks off. I have yet to try the problem file which has audio and a picture in picture segment. It is quite possible that the poor look is due to me not knowing what I am doing.
My question is this: Is there a better tool for this problem? It seems Flash remakes and changes a lot about the swf and all I want to do is slip in a stop command. I feel the tool is very capable, just overkill for this. I just want an swf editor that reads in an swf and allows minor alteration to the basic control commands.
thanks for any ideas,
How To Automate This Task...
hey guys, gotta question...
ok so im using xml as my data for the text on my website... and i want it to display a list(menu) and hold some other data related to that item...
heres what i got.
Code:
//create all the variables for the XML file
var i:Number;
var nodes:Array = new Array();
var clients:Array = new Array();
var job:Array = new Array();
var skills:Array = new Array();
var url:Array = new Array();
var comments:Array = new Array();
//setup the XML connection
var pXML:XML = new XML();
pXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pXML.onLoad = process;
pXML.load("ptahdunbar.xml");
//Parsing the XML doc
function process(){
trace("function process() { compute! }");
// use the "nodes" array to refer to the xml childNodes
nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<nodes.length; i++){
//loop through "nodes" and pulls the attribute to their correct array
clients.push(nodes[i].attributes.client);
job.push(nodes[i].attributes.job);
skills.push(nodes[i].attributes.skills);
url.push(nodes[i].attributes.url);
comments.push(nodes[i].attributes.comments);
// Checks to make sure its in there....
trace(clients[i]);
trace(job[i]);
trace(skills[i]);
trace(url[i]);
trace(comments[i]);
// populates the list with their text there are 14 total buttons
// Does not Work??? b[i].but_mc.but.text = nodes[i].attributes.client
b1.but_mc.but.text = nodes[0].attributes.client
b2.but_mc.but.text = nodes[1].attributes.client
b3.but_mc.but.text = nodes[2].attributes.client
b4.but_mc.but.text = nodes[3].attributes.client
b5.but_mc.but.text = nodes[4].attributes.client
b6.but_mc.but.text = nodes[5].attributes.client
b7.but_mc.but.text = nodes[6].attributes.client
b8.but_mc.but.text = nodes[7].attributes.client
b9.but_mc.but.text = nodes[8].attributes.client
b10.but_mc.but.text = nodes[9].attributes.client
b11.but_mc.but.text = nodes[10].attributes.client
b12.but_mc.but.text = nodes[11].attributes.client
b13.but_mc.but.text = nodes[12].attributes.client
b14.but_mc.but.text = nodes[13].attributes.client
}
}
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

</ptahdunbar>
ok the list loads and displays the client attribute which is correct.
i also have a dymanic text box on the stage so when you click on one of them list items, it changes to that value... I've tried the
"dText.text = b[i].but_mc.but.text" but that won't work
I also wanted to figure out if I could make the process shoter when i load in the list items.. i.e. "b1.but_mc.but.text = nodes[0].attributes.client"
is their a better way to do that? using the [i]? i've tried the normal way but that didnt work. also the instances start with b1, b2, b3... should i make it start with 0?
If anyone has ANY idea on how i could work this out, I'd appreicate it.
Help With A Simple Task
Hi, I'm quite new to AS so this is actually quite simple but is something I've yet to figure out.
My flash movie comprises of several sections, and all these can be accessed from the main menu. Right now, what I'm doing is to preload all the sections at once before starting the clip. However, as more sections are added on, I found that it takes longer and longer to preload. Therefore, I wish to preload just the main menu first. Only after the user selects the section he wanted to enter will that section be loaded. I understand this is what a lot of websites are doing now but I'm still trying to understand the mechanics...greatly appreciated for any help rendered!
Task Bar Object
Hey, I'm looking to make some sort of task bar. I want it to just be a plan black 20 pixel high bar spanning across the whole document. I want to have it be separated, but not visibly, into three buttons. I want it to slide up from nowhere out of the bottom of the document after a series of animations and stay until the user clicks one of the buttons and then I want it to smoothly slide down out of sight. Then, when the user mouses into a certain area, I want it to come back up. I'm not sure what to do, but I think that it would involve 3 symbols (buttons) placed inside a movie clip or something and then a little bit of actionscript. I haven't been able to figure the actionscript out yet though. I'm a bit of a newbie at that Help would be much appreciated.
Anyone Help On This Simple Task?
PHP Code:
buttons = ["b1", "b2", "b3", "b4", "b5", "b6"]
buttons[0].onRollOver = over;
buttons[0].onRollOut = out;
function over() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function out() {
this.gotoAndPlay(7);
}
If I wanted an array surely this would work, as it outputs b1 fine with a trace, but how come the button does not seem to pick it up?
Any ideas

Task Manager
Hey,
I was wondering if anyone had some good advice on some software...
Does anybody use a to-do list software or some kind of task tracking software. Does even such a thing exist?
I'm looking for something to keep track of development tasks, to do lists, time frames etc... possible multiple project tracking, specifically for the web development environment or that can be used as such.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Do i make sense?
Thank you in advance.

Pretty Difficult Task, I Think?
I hope someone out there is bright enough to answer this question. Here it goes:
I have my flash movie that is getting a variable from a PHP script. The variable name is "1" and its value is equal to "yes". How could I make it so that if my flash movie receives a variable with the value of "yes" a check box form component will be visible in my flash movie. If my flash movie doesn't receive a variable with the value of "yes" the check box form component does not appear. What would be the actionscript code to make the above happen? If anyone can answer this you are indeed a Flash Master!
Thanks for your help!
Dynamic Task Assignment
Hello, I am writing a dynamic menu component - so far I have the ability to create a number of labeled buttons dynimcally and have them display nicely. My problem is dynamic task assignment. For example...
function test(){
trace("that works");
}
----
onClipEvent (load) {
TotalButtons=1;
labels="one"
tasks="_root.test()";
labelList=labels.split(",");
taskList=tasks.split(",");
for (i=1;i<=TotalButtons;i++){
this.attachMovie("m_button",["b"+i],i+200);
this["b"+i]._y=(0-(i*20)+10);
this["b"+i]._x=49;
this["b"+i].label=labelList[i-1];
this["b"+i].doThis=taskList[i-1];
}
}
What I want to happen is when the button is clicked, the function is called... Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help...
Obviously The Impossible Task For Flash
Ive been reading everywhere and soooo many people have the same problem as me and this is what all of us want to do:
'have an input box. when you click a button you want it to write the input to a text file (nothing fancy just write the text on a single line).
Then you want a dynamic text box on load to import the text from the text file.'
Why is this such a massive drama to work..
Why cant it be on press, save this input text to mytext.txt.
Then simply on load set this dynamic text box variable = variable in mytext document!!
PLEASE! can someone answer this question for me(us)!!!

You know that game where you take a ball, perferably a tennis ball, and you just throw it against the wall and it bounces back to you?

This game needs to show the game from 1st person not from above, and the harder I release the mouse the faster it will come back.
Scheduling A Task In Flash
Hi All,
I'm currently developing an application with Flash MX and ASP. I want the system database to be queried every 3hours to show the latest updates to the front-end. Can Flash MX and Remoting handle this server-initiated query or do I need to configure the ASP to do the job. I was wondering if ASP can handle the queriying job, but apparently I dont know how to do it either way, If there a work around, how do I configure Flash MX or ASP to do this periodic query?
Thanks, Butch

I am sure this is easy and I have tried three different ways and none of them work the way I want (third ways does not work at all).
I am trying to have a line go up and a line go left marking where the mouse was clicked (think of highlighting a row and column joining the cell where they meet). I can get the two lines to come on the screen, but then I cannot get them to disappear. Or, if I get them to disappear I cannot get them to come on a second time.
Here are my three attempts, please tell me what I am doing wrong.
1 - Lines appear many times as expected, but cannot get rid of them:
createEmptyMovieClip("myClip",1000);
myClip.lineStyle(25,0x000000,25);
onMouseDown = function () {
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(_xmouse, 0);
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(0, _ymouse);};
onMouseUp=function(){
}
2 - Lines appear one time only and disappear:
createEmptyMovieClip("myClip",1000);
myClip.lineStyle(25,0xFFFF00,25);
onMouseDown = function () {
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(_xmouse, 0);
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(0, _ymouse);};
onMouseUp=function(){
removeMovieClip("myClip");
}
3 - Nothing happens:
var newt
var mc
newt=1
mc = "myClip" + newt
createEmptyMovieClip(eval(mc),1000);
eval(mc).lineStyle(25,0xFFFF00,25);
onMouseDown = function () {
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(_xmouse, 0);
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(0, _ymouse);
};
onMouseUp=function(){
removeMovieClip(eval(mc));
newt=newt+1
}
TIA
