Too Many Posts For This Topic...please, Stop The Posts With An Answer
There are just too many posts in this forum with people asking for help on iframes and not enough detailed responses. I am one of those who needs help. Could someone who knows action script put an end to all of this by responding to this post with some harcore replies?
I have an iframe floating in a layer. the layer is over a flash movie. I want the flash movie to tell the iframe what to load. How do i do that? I am trying this in flash mx:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.cnn.com","showme");
}
but instead of the iframe being loaded the main page is being loaded. what am i doing wrong here? Also, my layer hides when i click on the movie so any input on how to stop that would be great too.
Thanks,
Tony

Mess Up Posts
Why do sometimes posts get messed up .. the post are in italic and parts are missing .. like the brackets..
Anyone -
#include?somebody?down There A Few Posts
when i try including an external .as file using #include that is larger than 69,307 bytes, the actionscript doesn't get
included. but if the file is 69,388 bytes or smaller the actionscript loads just fine. is there such a thing as a file size limit for .as files that you are going to unclude? Or along a different track, is there a limit on how much information you can put into an array?
thanks

Can't Reply To Posts
I can't ever reply to messages! Every time I fill out the "reply" form and press the submit button, IE just hangs. I've tried it several times--it's not my ISP, because I can easily re-load the main forum list... anyone?
News Posts?
So i know this is a broad question, and i'm sure hte answer is here somewhere, but I cant find!!! I'm trying to make this site completely out of flash, but i for the life of me can not find a way for flash to display the news, without me directly having to edit a file, and re-uploading it to the server. I want a way where I can just log into a page, post the news, and flash does the rest. I though I might have to use some PHP and MYSQL for it, but is there an easier way using some sort of flash program?
Thanks for any help you guys.
Question On Posts
i just have a question thats been confusing me. Markp.com post says '100 helpful posts to create custom avatar and name' something like that. how is it decided if it is a helpful post?
Forum Posts Are Ok
Just wishing that we had a chat tool to be able to start an instant chat here.
For example.
Sally Smith has a question. she posts it to the forum thus creating a chat room for the question. Someone can click on it if she is on and start an instant conversation rather than post and reload and reload and reload hoping that someone answers a question.
Cant Get Posts To Submit
ok ive got to input feilds (username, and password) in my flash and ive got a submit button when you click the submit button it runs this code
getURL ("testing.php", "", "POST");
And the PHP file holds
PHP Code:
<?
echo $_POST['username'];
echo $_POST['password'];
?>
All it does is go to the PHP file and show nothing? I dont know what im doing wrong.
Please Help, No Response To Previous Posts.
Hi, I'll keep it short and sweet this time. I have three seperate SWF's that I am loading into my main timeline with loadMovie. I need them to preload before the main movie starts so that they syncronize with the main movie. I really don't know much about actionscripting, so a dumbed down answer would be appreciated. Thanks alot for any help you can give.

Amfphp Tutorial - Posts.sql?
I got through (and understood) the first part of the amfphp tute but can't get the local bulletinboard to work.
I am using XAMPP and had no problem with the talk.fla demo - my NetConnection debugger worked as well.
I assume that the posts.sql file is important for setting up the local db. Do I just drop that file in the services directory? Are there any other hoops I need to jump through to initialize the db?
Also, on the remote bulletin board I can read in lots of bb message entries but can't post. Looking at the dates on the msg's it looks like the db hasn't had a new entry in weeks.
Love the tutorial, now to get it all to work!

For Those That Like To Help People, And Read Long Posts.
Hey Guys,
I wrote a letter to my Flash Developer friend, Noel Davey, asking him A Question about multiple preloading in Flash. He responded, but I don't know how to go about implementing the code for his suggestion. Can any of you kind folks out there give a clue? Here is how the correspondence went:
From Me:
... However, I'm working on a new project now, and I'm having the same problem(s) with the preloader.
See, the whole thing is...I'm using very small SWF MC created in Swish. For the text effects. My main file in this project is called intro.swf(approx 548KB). The first file you see online is called begin.swf(approx 10KB) which loads intro.swf on level 10.
Intro.swf loads the pitches (4 seperate SWF MCs) on levels 5,6,7, & 8 respectively, as well as the safety tips SWF file (approx 30KB) on level 3. They are all each approxiametly 14-20KB large. Relatively tiny files. I'm trying to load them below my main level (intro.swf), so the user can't see them.
By the time the preloader for intro.swf begins its supposed to call safety.swf on level 45, so it can be seen, and runs while the intro.swf is loading. Something for the viewer to see. However, this is not happening for some reason I don't know. No matter what level I try above 10, its not viewing. When I call each pitch.swf file on levels 11,12,13, & 14 respectively, their supposed to come up quickly without any hesitation, because they already were loaded at the beginning of intro.swf (level 10) previously. On the T1 connection at my job they show fine, but I'm not sure if the safety pitch is being seen.
Is there a way I can pre-load all the smalle swfs I need before or during I load intro.swf? This is my problem. Can you help me with that?
His Response was:
Hey Marc,
He is the way i think you can do it.this is the idea ok
You create a Movie Clip load in each swf one at a time and check for when the swf has completly loaded then load the next. Also this movie clip is to be made in visible. This sould buffer all the swf to the users computer and make your project run correctly.
And with the invisable Movie clip the user can not see them.
Hope that gives you an idea...
Regards,
Noel Davey
The URL is http://www.vmvisions.com/steelhorses
P.S. - Can anybody tell me why is the safety tips SWF (safety.swf) only showing in Netscape and not in Microsoft Internet Explorer? I did load it on a higher level. Like I said before....I'm just clueless.
Many Posts About Rollout Probs, Not Mine Tho
i did a pretty thorough search and can't seem to quite find a fix for my particular issue, and i'm having no luck using creative methods of applying the common wisdom.
1. anim with invis button inside same mc. invis button has two hit areas depending on frame.
2. up state is menu header (small hit size).
3. over state is menu unfolding animation (large hit size)
4. out state is menu falling away (not a reversal of over state)
5. i want it to play over anim completely through, regardless of user interaction (i.e., rolling over again won't restart, rolling out won't cut it short, etc.)
6. rollout needs to "wait in line" for over state anim to finish. which removing the invisbutton from the frames containing the over anim would not allow
7. (in regard to a particular element only; they can interrupt animations within other instances) no anim should interrupt any other anim in progress but should not be cancelled, only delayed until current is done; however i'm concerned about accumulation - i don't want 15 out animations stacking up while they wait for the preceding ones to finsih).
i guess 6 and 7 are kinda the same thing but i'll leave both for the sake of clarity.
tyia if you can help.
Collision Problems (duplicate Posts)
hi everyone, I need help here.
I am working on random movement of a circle object on the screen. When different instances of the objects collide they will bounce back into another direction.
Now I need to create a new object which is a rectangle.
How can I check to make sure that the rectangle and circle collide.
The code for the circle object is placed below;
// ----------------------------------------------
// variable definitions
// ----------------------------------------------
total_circles = 5;
movie_width = 550;
movie_height = 400;
speed = 3;
// ----------------------------------------------
// start move
// ----------------------------------------------
my_radius = (getProperty("", _width)/2);
// 'n' is always 'name' of circle.
my_x = getProperty("", _x);
my_y = getProperty("", _y);
my_n = getProperty("", _name);
if (Number(ymov) == Number("")) {
// *********************************
// ----------------------------------------------
// first run through code,
// this will initialize circle
// ----------------------------------------------
// *********************************
// pick a distance:
ymov = Number(random(/:speed))+1;
xmov = Number(random(/:speed))+1;
//
// pick a direction:
ysign = random(2)-1;
if (Number(ysign) == 0) {
ysign = 1;
}
xsign = random(2)-1;
if (Number(xsign) == 0) {
xsign = 1;
}
// adjust x and y movement
xmov = xmov*xsign;
ymov = ymov*ysign;
// ----------------------------------------------
}
// *********************************
// ----------------------------------------------
// check edges
// ----------------------------------------------
if (Number(my_x)<=Number(Number(my_radius)+Number(/:speed))) {
xmov = xmov*-1;
my_x = Number(my_radius)+Number(/:speed);
}
if (Number(my_y)<=Number(Number(my_radius)+Number(/:speed))) {
ymov = ymov*-1;
my_y = Number(my_radius)+Number(/:speed);
}
if (Number(my_x)>=Number(/:movie_width-my_radius-/:speed)) {
xmov = xmov*-1;
my_x = /:movie_width-my_radius-/:speed;
}
if (Number(my_y)>=Number(/:movie_height-my_radius-/:speed)) {
ymov = ymov*-1;
my_y = /:movie_height-my_radius-/:speed;
}
// ----------------------------------------------
// check for collision
// ----------------------------------------------
n = 1;
// start checking for collisions
while (Number(n)<=Number(/:total_circles)) {
// don't check myself
if (n ne my_n) {
n_x = getProperty("../" add n,_x);
n_y = getProperty("../" add n,_y);
n_radius = (getProperty ("../" add n, _width) / 2);
delta_x = (Number(my_x)+Number(xmov))-(n_x);
delta_y = (Number(my_y)+Number(ymov))-(n_y);
if (Number((Number(delta_x*delta_x)+Number(delta_y*de
lta_y)))< Number(((Number(my_radius)+Number(n_radius))*(Numb
er(my_radius)+Number(n_radius))))) {
// ----------------------------------------------
// handle collisions
// ----------------------------------------------
// I collided with circle 'n'.
nx = eval("../" add n add ":xmov");
ny = eval("../" add n add ":ymov");
// swap travel values with it.
tempx = xmov;
xmov = nx;
set("../" add n add ":xmov", tempx);
tempy = ymov;
ymov = ny;
set("../" add n add ":ymov", tempy);
set("../" add n add ":collision", my_n);
} else {
}
}
n = Number(n)+1;
}
// ----------------------------------------------
// move me
// ----------------------------------------------
setProperty("", _x, Number(my_x)+Number(xmov));
setProperty("", _y, Number(my_y)+Number(ymov));
// ----------------------------------------------
Could anyone help out with the rectangle object?
-- Please, if you understand the code and you know how to help me I will be really happy.

How To Attach Actionscript To My Posts, With Colour?

Thanks
Trouble Refreshing Message Posts
Basically i've got a simple flash message board made using asp, access and flash. The problem i've encountered however is that once a comment has been submitted it can't be viewed until the page has been closed and then reopened (refresh doesnt work).
Ie a user may see all the messages submitted up until the moment they first opened the page. Any submitted (by them or any other person) are not viewable until they close the page and reopen it (reachign the database without any problems).
I have attempted adding a random variable to the end of the url but doesnt seem to work as planned. have also attemted a to make it expire in the cache on a previous date.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, am a bit of noob when it comes to all this so could easily be something obvious
Regards,
Buzzology
Update: It is refreshing the flash content just not the data that is supposed to be being retrieved from the database, seems to only be requesting the variables the first time it is loaded.

Major Bug Bear - Removing Downloads In Posts
[grumble]
I know i'm no moderator or anything, but i have a suggestion.
if you're going to post downloads couldn't people create a folder for forum stuff and leave uploads in there forever because i've been reading pages and download links to files that have been removed are just a pain in the arse. Try to follow the gyst of the thread and you can't because... guess what 'error 404' .
If you're gonna refer to files why don't you attach them to the post so people down the line can follow what's going on.
That's my grumble over

Flash Website Help (please Disregard Previous Posts)
Hi everyone,
I was wondering for the 'home2' file, how do I change the embedded text (the big paragraph of writing that you see) because thats not linked to any text files. And with 'profile', I was wondering how to increase the number of name place holders since the name 'daniel wilckens' isn't currently showing. (profile is linked to a text file) You need to click on 'the team' in the .swf file to see the list I'm talking about
thanks heaps everyone

[F8] Posting Vars Doesnt Posts - A Flash Bug?
Hi,
This is driving me crazy. I have this simple code:
Code:
dataSender = new LoadVars();
dataSender["test"] = "my test";
dataSender.send("http://www.mydomain.com/receivevars.php", "_blank", "POST");
And at the server end I have:
Code:
<?php
echo "test: " . $_POST["test"] . "<br>";
?>
So it echoes nothing. But if I change my PHP code to:
Code:
<?php
echo "test: " . $_GET["test"] . "<br>";
?>
So it does.
As showed above, Flash just keep sending my vars through GET regardless to the fact I have explicited that it should be done by POST!
What I am doing wrong? Or is that a Flash bug???
PS: I should let you know that I am testing my application from Flash projector (from my PC and invoking the script on a remote server), but I think that it doesnt make any difference in this case. Does it?

XML News Ticker Source Is Forums New Posts
Guys im needing help once more, I was wondering if it is possible to create a news ticker that reads or shows the latest posts of a forum. The one I have seen works with XML and you type in what you want to see, but this would need to be more dynamic and be able to read the php file. Here is the one I know of:

Issue Fixed: Turn SWFs Back On In Posts?
So, will we get to put our Flash banners back up now?
>>>
AllowScriptAccess and Cross-Site Scripting
Macromedia has added a new parameter "AllowScriptAccess" to address a cross-site scripting security issue. If Macromedia Flash (SWF) content coming from one domain was embedded in an HTML page from a different domain, the SWF could read and transfer data, such as cookies, from the HTML server domain to the Macromedia Flash domain. For complete details on this issue, refer to Using AllowScriptAccess to control running of scripts from Flash (TechNote 16494)
from http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...player_r40.htm
Wasn't this the issue that caused Flashkit admins to turn off Flash banners? Plz!!
Randomly Selected Images (duplicate Posts Merged)
I posted about this problem the other day, but have since modified my code.
I'm making a movie that is a grid of images which fade in and out randomly. Each box movieclip in the grid is named box0 through box29. Each box movieclip contains image movieclips named image0 through image8.
Does my code make sense? Right now, my movie does nothing. But it is running through the code, because the traces come up. I would really really appreciate your help. Thanks!
Here is my code:
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number) :Number{
trace("random number");
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
} //CLOSE randRange
_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{
trace("begin");
for (var i = 0; i < 30; i++)
{
trace("box");
var nm = "box" + i; //go through the thirty boxes
var nm2 = "image" + (randRange(0,8)); //Pick one of the 9 images in the box
trace("image");
for(i in _root)
{
clp = eval(i)
if (clp instanceof MovieClip)
{
clp.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if (this._currentframe == 1)
{
if ((randRange(0, 99)<50))
{
this.play();//Play 50% of the time
}//CLOSE if
} //CLOSE if
else if (this._currentframe == 20)
{
if ((randRange(0, 99)<50))
{
this.play(); //Finish movie clip 50% of the time
} //CLOSE if
} //CLOSE else if
}//close clp.onenterframe
}//close if
}//close for (i in _root)
}//close for (var i = 0; i < 30; i++)
}//close root.onEnterFrame
Rollout (missed) - Lots Of Posts But No Firm Solution.
hi,
on going problem:
having a selection of buttons with .onRollOver states calling a function (change colour, move, etc).
moving cursor too fast to another button and 'breaking' the on rollout animation on the original button.
get me?
basically is there a rock solid way of having complex rollover and rollout actions that don't break with fast mouse moves? and only with actionscript (none of this next frame, preframe stuff!!!)!
let's figure this out and we can all make better rollovers!
cheers,
Load Blog Posts Into Dynamic Text Field..?
Hello, I am looking for a way to import blog data, specifically blogger posts, into a dynamic text field. I can't seem to find a good tut on this, and am having some problems with the various methods employed on your site. Could someone point me in a good direction? Basically, I want to the do the equivalent of a php include, have my swf call my index file, which has a bunch of php and blogger posts, and simply render the text in the flash window. I've thought about exporting from blogger to .txt, and just importing the txt into flash, but that seems a little silly. Please help.
Thanks!

List The Five Latest Posts From The Mysql Database In Flash MX?
Hi!
I am a newbie to Flash, I wonder how I can list the 5 latest posts from a mysql database in Flash?+
My index.php file looks like this:
<?
mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass")
mysql_select_db("dikter.dikter");
$dikter= mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dikter.DIKTER ORDER BY titel ASC LIMIT 5");
?>
So my question is how I should list these data in flash? What codes do I have to write in Flash to make it go?
/Thanx for answering..
Opening New Page BUT That Page Loads In Behind The Page You Are On.
Is it possible to load a web page from an action script (just like when you click on a button to open a new page)
Basically I want to create a Flash banner and somewhere along the "movie" have it launch MY web page and have it load in the background, behind the browser that holds the banner.
BTW - I have the permission by the person who will host my banner.
I just have to make it work.
Can this be done???
And how????
Thanks in advance!
Page 2 - Loading A Movieclip That Always Stays Center Into My Flash Full Screen Page?
Tann, regarding the proportion resize, do you know if there is a way to make it so that when you drag the browser window, you are restricted to dragging it at its flash proportion. Just like if you are in photoshop, and if you decide to transform an image and I think press control or alt while you drag the corners, it will resize it proportionally.
Right now, if you drag the browser window, you can drag it any shape, and if the browser window height exceeds the flash height, it will allow you to do it, but the empty space is filled with the background colour of the html page.
Would like it, so that the window is not draggable anymore if its proport width or height has exceeded.
I hope that makes sense.
