Flash MX Locks Up Windows 2000
I just downloaded the demo version of Flash MX and I'm considering the upgrade from Flash 5. I like the new stuff it has to offer plus the layout of the new interface.

Here's what I don't like.....

Since I've started using it, it's crashes my computer which uses Windows 2000. This happens in a form of a lockup that I can't use the Task Manager to get out of it. I have to hit the reset button. This really amazes me because NOTHING has crashed Win2k in the past. It's been a very reliable operating system.

The crash doesn't occur immediately. It waits until I'm really into something the GUI and then BOOM, there it goes. I broke my favorite Homer Simpson coffee mug by mistake because I was so mad! lol....

Has anybody else had this problem? Hard to believe there would be a patch for the demo! lol.. I'll be reporting this to Macromedia as well. Just wondering if someone in here had the same problem....

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Autorun For Flash (Windows 2000)
Hi guys,

Hope you can help me out here. I have created a Flash multimedia and burnt it to a CD. I have inclded an auto run file for it.

My problem is, when the autorun is run, which is linked to an exe file, the first swf will run fine. But, when it links to another swf file, the audio speech files that i included in it lags. It's like hearing the speech in slow motion. Same goes for the background music, as well as any sound files. The animation is ok though. The exe file is 1.63 MB.

This does not happen when I click the exe directly, instead of letting it autorun. Also, this only happens on Windows 2000, on multiple PCs which i tried. I tested it out on Windows 98, on multiple PCs also, either by exe or autorun, and it runs fine.

Hope you guys can solve this mystery for me. Thanks in advance.

[F8] Mouseovers Not Working In Windows 2000
Hi there,

I'm doing some screenshots for work, and I have comments section that when you mouse over the comments section, a comments bubble pops up explaining what the comments are. I have other comments sections on the screen shot, but when testing we found that if you click on the comments section, three comments bubbles show up for that section, not just the one that's supposed to pertain to that section.

For instance, the add time off comments section has the actionscript:

Code:
//for add time off
addtimeoffbubblemc._visible = false;

addtimeoffbtn.onRollOver = function(){
addtimeoffbubblemc._visible = true;
}

addtimeoffbtn.onRollOut = function(){
addtimeoffbubblemc._visible = false;
}

function moveaddtimeoffBubble(){
addtimeoffbubblemc._x = _xmouse;
addtimeoffbubblemc._y = _ymouse;
}

myInterval = setInterval(moveaddtimeoffBubble,10);
for the list comments section, the actionscript is:

Code:
//for comments
commentsbubblemc._visible = false;

commentsbtn.onRollOver = function(){
commentsbubblemc._visible = true;
gotoAndStop("comments");

}

commentsbtn.onRollOut = function(){
commentsbubblemc._visible = false;
gotoAndStop("plaintmesheet");

}

function movecommentsBubble(){
commentsbubblemc._x = _xmouse;
commentsbubblemc._y = _ymouse;
}

myInterval = setInterval(movecommentsBubble,10);
for the enter time section, the actionscript is:

Code:
//for enter time
entertimebubblemc._visible = false;

entertimebtn.onRollOver = function(){
entertimebubblemc._visible = true;
gotoAndStop("entertime");

}

entertimebtn.onRollOut = function(){
entertimebubblemc._visible = false;
gotoAndStop("plaintmesheet");

}

function moveentertimeBubble(){
entertimebubblemc._x = _xmouse;
entertimebubblemc._y = _ymouse;
}

myInterval = setInterval(moveenertimeBubble,10);
The problem is when you left click on the "entertimebtn" in the swf on Windows 2000, all three of the bubbles (entertimebubblemc, commentsbubblemc and addtimeoffbubblemc) show up. This doesn't happen in Windows XP. In fact nothing happens, which is what should happen, because it's a mouseover, not a clickable.

Does anyone have any idea why Windows 2000 does this? If you could let me know as soon as you can, that would be great!

Thanks,
Diane

Swf Doesn't Work In IE6 On Windows 2000
Yeah, I know, who cares if it doesn't work in IE6 on Windows 2000... my client does. So, I have to, too. Here's the page: http://www.rudolphfoods.com/scrapbook.php I tried using the swfobject detection script. That broke the whole page.
I've been searching all over the internet looking for a solution to this & haven't come up with anything yet. Any ideas & suggestions are most welcome!

Windows 2000 OS...launching PDF's...dos Screen Keeps Appearing
I've searched through all the threads pertaining to this issue and I can't seem to find any resolution.

Anyone have any other ideas?

A Problem With A PHP Script On A Windows 2000 Server. PLEASE HELP.
Dear Flashkitters,

I have a problem and I will be very much thankful to you if somebody who has experience in running PHP scripts on Windows servers can help me.

Namely, a have a simple email sender script that works OK on a UNIX server, but that does not work on a Windows server. And the problem is not with CHMOD’ing – I know that the server permissions on a Windows server need be set differently. And they are set correctly, I am sure!

Here is a simple example to illustrate the problem. I have the following simple PHP script called simple_sender.php:
<?php
$Subject="Test";
$Body="Test";
$Headers = "From: Test <Test@test.com>";
mail($Address, $Subject, $Body, $Headers);
?>
which sends an email to the address $Address. This variable, however, is not defined inside the script, and I wish to pass it to the script “from outside”. To do this I use the url:
http:http://www.MyServer.com/simple_sende...s@MyServer.com”
This does work on a UNIX server, but it does not work on a Windows server.

Will somebody give me an idea what can be the reason of this?

Thank you very much in advance for your help,

Annoying Grey Frame On Windows
On some windows comps (maybe the ones with SP2) when theres a flash thing in a page, holding the mouse over it shows a grey frame around it, and then you must click for it to be active, see image.

edit: ah my image ran away, wait

can this be removed somehow?

or so that the user doesnt have to click twice for some buttons?

thanks

Multiple Links In Same Frame Opening To Separate Windows
I want to have 4 buttons IN THE SAME FRAME that open SEPARATE URLS in SEPARATE windows.

Currently, I have two problems:

Problem 1: clicking on any of these 4 buttons only opens the first one
Problem 2: when i co-erce it into working by placing the script in separate frames, it still opens up the newest link in the same new window. This is a problem because I have opened up a music player in the first new window, and I don't want to open the next URL in the same window.

I put my code below. I'm sure I'm doing something simple, but the book that I am using doesn't tell me how to do what I want to do. Thanks SO much for your help! This is driving me crazy.

How To Stream FLV From Behind ISA 2000
Hello. I successfully setup FMS and have a virtual IIS directory pointing to the web pages that will display the streaming videos. Internally on our network, I can stream all videos no problem.

But from the outside world (Internet) I can access the web page and select a video, but no video is displayed. We use ISA 2000 as our firewall and proxy server. We host our own web site. Accessing web pages is no problem, it just the streaming of video is causing me a headache. I have tried to open ports on the server to allow streaming but it still does not seem to work. I have tried to open port 1935 without luck it seems.

Does anyone have FMS running behind an ISA 2000 firewall exposed to the Internet that successfully streams videos? I would be very keen to hear how you have done this.

Cheers
Pete Zed

Jpeg 2000 ? In Swf And/or Fla? ?
I'm always a step behind others in these sort of things. I've found some demos and other stuff that uses jpeg 2000, and I made a few photos, and uploaded the results. I can see it on my system, but I have no clue if others can in general in browsers.

Most importantly, can I import jpeg2000 pictures (the demo i have outputs a .jpg AND .j2k (i think it is) format) into an fla and will it be viewable in the end resulting swf??

thank you all

Flash 5 And MS Powerpoint 2000
Hi.

I am going to try and intigrate a Flash 5 menu into a Powerpoint 2000 slideshow.

I have read on MS Developer Network Library that you can control Powerpoint with VBScript...

"PPT.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide(2)" is supposed to change the current slide to number 2.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get Flash to send VBScript "out" to whatever's running it (i.e. to the Powerpoint slideshow) and if anyone knew how to impliment VBScript into Powerpoint in this context?

Many thanks in advance,
Jon

Connecting To SQL 2000 With FlashMX And CF
Hello. I am new to flash remoting and I am trying to connect to a SQL 2000 database. I have received some information from our web hosting company that is running CF MX with flash remoting and SQL 2000 for our database needs. The information I have is below:

- SQL2000 Table name
- username
- password
- ftp site name
- and this code (editing the actual names of course for security)
<CFQUERY dataSource="edited" USERNAME="edited" password="edited">

My main question is how would I use this information to connect to the database? I have installed the flash remoting piece to flash mx 04 pro and have read a little on it, but just haven't found the exact answer i need.

The link I have pasted below is of a form and a booth layout. I have recreated the booth layout in flash with buttons behind each booth number. The form was created with CF. Right now when someone fills in the form, clicks submit, it updates the database with the booth number and information. You can see the current version working now. My goal is for the booths to auto update themselves with the information when someone fills out the form and submits the info. First off is this possible? Right now we have to manually color in the booths and repost the .gif. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

SQL Server 2000 Vs. MySQL
Greetings friends!

Looking for some database thoughts...

I have been working with SQL Server 2000 for about 6 months now and absolutely love how efficient it is. The main feature I fell in love with is stored procedures - which make my life very easy. I happened to notice this very morning that MySQL offers the same features.

Is there anyone who has perhaps worked with both, or even a MySQL veteran that could give me some reasons to perhaps switch? Does MySQL and ASP 3 get along? Does MySQL work with ASP.NET?

Thanks for any input on this!

Mailto: & Win 2000 Issue
I am creating a Flash MX projecter file & wish to have an email button. I've used:

However, the getURL function does not work on Win2K systems. I've googled but am unable to find a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping there's a workaround for this without using PHP forms.

And by the way, thanks to Macromedia for not addressing this issue that I can find.

Unicode Answer Work Only 4 2000&XP?
Hi all..

I've asked before about writing in multilanguages in Flash and U people were so nice to help me "BUT" when I went to Macromedia's site and read the instructions and did them another problem came to the lighte.

First of all let me explain the so called answer:

They said that I should write the text I intend to load and save the text file as a UTF-8 and then start the first line with : //!-- utf8

And the damn thing worked but the strangest thing happened when I checked it with operating systems like WIN98 and "WIN ME" .In other words ,people with anything less than WIN2000 will get nothing but crap.

Plz can anyone help??

P.S I noticed that the notepad of these old operating systems doesn't have the UTF-8 kind in there save as window but I couldn't figure what to do to make everyone with any platform view my file

Is there Away to silve this prob??

Thanx 4 any help guys

PPT 2000 Crash On Copy And Save
I'm getting some strange errors in any PowerPoint that has Flash elements included. PowerPoint is randomly closing down without showing errors when I copy Flash objects using ctrl-c. Typically I can copy and paste anywhere from 5-10 Flash objects before the error occurs.

It appears to get worse over time. It also gives an error "PowerPoint found an error that it cannot correct." from time to time when I save.

I've asked around and tried it on different systems and everyone seems to be getting the same errors. I'm using the latest Flash plugin and ActiveX controls.

Is this problem unique to me or is this some sort of new ActiveX control problem?
