Replicating Website + Flash
Okay. Here is my predicament. My Father's company (Natural Herbal Prodicts) is paying some people a large sum of money to design a website. The design that they are stuck with is mediocre and not very functional and I could do a much better job, and would like to do so, except for this obstable. They are making a replicating website, that would be plugged into the already existing database system. Let me explain...

The original domain name will be www.entreneteam.com
Say I ordered, then a site would automatically be created after the order at the url
www.entreneteam.com/eric.html
Now say I give my card to someone with my url on it and they will get the same frontpage as anybody else, but when they order, they will be put under me in the distributor line so that their orders benefit me.
So these frontpages would be replicated like a tree and tied into the distributor database. Now, he already has a programmer that can take care of the database part, and tying the database into it, but I would still personally have to do the replicating webbsite part of it myself.

Now I have no idea how to do that, and will gladly research, but is this possible to do in Flash MX or in Flash MX and Cold Fusion, so that I could include the funtionability of a replicating website, with a good flash design?
I would really be helping my father out of a situation if I could do so.
Thanks for your time.

Replicating OnDragOver In Flash 5
Hi every1. First post, wondering if you can help me.

The deal is I've got an MC that I am dragging around my scene and I need other MC's to be highlighted as I drag over them, i.e. the mouse is still down. Buttons don't work, onClipEvent only runs once whilst mouseDown (so I can't do a continuous position check) and the only thing I can think of working is the onDragOver and onDragOut events in MX but I am using flash 5?

Any feedback welcome. Can't help feeling like am being very stupid, am sure this is possible, but can't for the life of me think how.

Cheers,
Sir.

Help In Replicating Menu
Hi,
I am working on a website and want to integrate a Flash menu, with the same type layout as the one used here (http://www.islandrecords.com/thekillers/site/home.las). I'd like a menu list where you get sub-menu items when you roll over the buttons. I'm just getting into learning Flash, and could use some help. I've got my main image and my buttons created on seperate layers. But I don't know how I should put the sub-menu items in, or how to get them to appear when you roll over the buttons. Any assistance in how to properly set this up is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Eric

Replicating An Applet
Hi,
I saw this applet that basically had heaps of points arrange in columns and rows, that when u clicked and held the left mouse button down they would move towards the mouse, and move away if the right button was clicked.

so the question is how do i make this code 4 making the points arrange on stage simpler I am sure there is a better way.

Code:
a = 0;
j = 1;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 1+i);
a = a+60;
b = 60;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 2;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 20+i);
a = a+60;
b = 120;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 3;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 40+i);
a = a+60;
b = 180;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 4;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 60+i);
a = a+60;
b = 240;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 5;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 80+i);
a = a+60;
b = 300;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 6;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 100+i);
a = a+60;
b = 360;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 7;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 120+i);
a = a+60;
b = 420;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 8;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 140+i);
a = a+60;
b = 480;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 9;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 160+i);
a = a+60;
b = 540;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 10;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 180+i);
a = a+60;
b = 600;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
also i am using a mouse down clip event to make the points move to the mouse how do i make this happen for the whole time the mouse is down not just the click?

Self Replicating Program
Can anyone use AS3 (or AS2 I suppose) to write a script that can reproduce itself? Successful program should export code (into a TF or the output panel) that can be copied into a new flash file and run to repeat the same output indefinitely.

I've seen this posed for other languages but I'm not sure how to tackle it in AS3...yet.

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) && (alpha == no)) {
this._alpha -= 13;

[CS3] Efficient Way Of Replicating MovieClips?
On my main timeline I have two dynamic text boxes and an input box that represent a math problem. I wanted there to be three problems on the screen at a time. Since I don't know much about classes and making packages I just copied and pasted the problem twice so that I have three instances of each text box. Next I basically just tripled my lines of code, one block for each of the three problems.

I'm assuming the proper way to handle something like that is to make the problem a MovieClip and then make a class for it. However, when I attempted to do that I got errors [possible undefined function] because code that still remained on the Main Timeline was referencing functions that had been moved from the Timeline into the mcProblem class. Could I change the code on the Timeline so that I won't be getting these referencing errors? If not, could you please provide some detailed information about what I should do regarding classes? Currently I am not using a document class.

If anyone understands what I'm trying to do, please guide me in the right direction. This is my first attempt at a solo project (for fun) and while I can achieve the desired swf sloppily I prefer to learn to do it the clean and efficient way.

Replicating Files On A Desktop In AS
Can i replicate files and create folders on a users desktop through actionscript?

Im creating a template builder that will have to replicate my swf's, write a variable to a html page where my flash is embeded, write a xml file, and create a folder on a users desktop with all the files above?

Is this possible in as or as3? Do I need to write my application in VB or flex instead?

Replicating This Effect With Bitmapfilter (Effects)
Hey there all, I'm just trying to replicate this effect

http://www.reactiondynamics.com/sd2.swf

using flash. So far, using Senoculars blurred trails example on his website, I've got this: blurtrail2.fla

Only, it doesn't look right and I'm not sure how I can get it looking better. For instance, how can I remove the spacing that appears as dots spin, and also, how do I elongate the trail, and make the blur falloff ? If it can't be done in flash, what program can I do it in?

Any help appreciated

Help Needed On Styling And Replicating Text Field
As a new AS3 coder I'm at a little bit of a loss on the most efficient way to replicate a styled text field.

I would like to use the following styled text info and load some text from an array. Do I need to create all this styling for every instance of the text in the array or can I create several new instances of the field in my function?

Thank you in advance for your help.

ActionScript Code:
var headlines:TextField = new TextField();var headline:TextFormat = new TextFormat();headline.size = 20;headline.font = new HelvBlack().fontName;headlines.alpha = 0;headlines.setTextFormat(headline);headlines.embedFonts = true;headlines.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

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***

I'm trying to create a script for a movie clip/ button that when pressed will open up a new window with some swf/ video/ banner in it.

Loading External Flash Files Onto Flash Website
I need help on how to load .swf files on a flash site as a portfolio section, each one will have their own image or animation. The way I want them is to when you change the pages it loads the next object rather than have it on the site and make the site file bigger to load than having it minimual. I found only one tutorial but it incorporates something I don't want and tried working around it to have it load under a frame (not animation frame but like picture frame) in a certain location.

Full Flash Or Half Flash Website Question
okay after doing flash for a lil bit im a bit confused.. it seems like this stuff is mostly for graphics moving around and stuff like that. Now my question is.. is it better off to make a site complete with flash or one that uses a header flash and the rest are html..And if i go with the header flash & rest HTML how do i connect the flash button menu so that it opens a page in my html. i dont know if i make any sense any help will be good thanks. I guess its kinda like kirupa site where the header is flash and the context is html..or maybe im wrong everything on kirupa site is flash hehe

Quick White Flash Before Flash Load On Website
Hello. I'm fairly new to flash and built a website, that does both images and flash. I have 3 flash files, 1 for a top animation, 1 for a navigation, and 1 for my bottom header. Anytime I load a page or click a link to visit the next page from an external link, like going from page1.html to page2.html, it instantly loads everything besides the flash files, which blink WHITE for half a second, then displays the content in the flash files. I've looked up some information on google.com, and came across what some other have recommended to other users having the same issue, which they mention using a preloader.
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum104/391.htm

this is what the white flash looks like on my website
http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/5013/part3xx0.jpg
" the white areas are the flash files a second before they load "

So, I tired to create a preloader with no luck at all. I followed instructions perfectly to add in a preloader for my animation but i kept getting errors upon a preloader loading and it wouldn't load the content. Now, my project in Flash 8 looks like this, have 1 layer on the timeline, which that 1 layer has 1 frame, which that 1 frame has a movie on the fram and when you double click it, then leads to the animation I created for that movie. (i've provided images below for you guys to see.)

Part 1: http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/8421/part1bg1.jpg
Part 2: http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/9676/part2rw0.jpg

My question would be:
How do I add in a preloader for a project from the above images i've posted? If someone could point me in the right direction to a tutorial, or post some instruction steps on how to perform this that would be awesome. The white flashing is just terrible looking and I've been spending all day try to find a fix for this.

Thanks guys, I love the site. this site finally made me step up to flash and eat it like an apple, just gotta get the white flash thing gone. Thanks again.

Flash In A Website
Hi everyone. I am definately a newbie so please to laugh at me! I was wondering a few things about websites that are made with flash. First off, when you make a flash website, how do you make separate news, pictures, links, etc. pages that you can update frequently? Do you embed an html page that you can change and update? or do you update the whole flash site? An example of a flash site that I really like is http://www.thepeoplerock.com . This gives you an idea of the type of site I would like to create. I'm not totally worried about the scrolling pictures at the top yet, but the layout and buttons and everything is what I'm looking at doing right now. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. And if you could explain the concept of creating a website out of flash. Is the whole site a "movie"? and how does that work with the html?? This whole concept is very confusing to me. Thank you so much.

How Do I Put Flash On My Website
How do I put flash on my website?

Flash Website
Hi,

I am in the process of constructing my first Flash site.
For example, I have text acting as buttons that will link various pages. In the properties I see it has a blank box for one to enter in the http:// link and/or an e-mail address.

Well, I've got each page on it's own scene. Do I control linking page to page via frame labels? Or do I actually put the name of the scene representing, say INFO, in that blank box?

I do not know at all.

Appreciate your response!
