Special Loading
If you look at the site of http://www.ozarkhenry.com you will see there ar 4 loadbars running at the same time. How is that possible? I was thought you could only load one movie at the same time.
Please would someone help me with the code.

Loading Sounds.. Special Way?
I am curious to know if there is a specialway to load sounds into a flash movie.
I am working with FLASH MX and I have sounds on buttons, a looping track that plays throughout my flash movie, and I have sound effects that are cued to play exactly when they reach a part on the timeline .. to go with the animation..
Is there a certain way to load sounds to assure that they will play when they are cued on the timeline?
Please help, suggestions are definitely welcomed here.
Loading Special Characters
Hey everyone, hopefully this is really easy. I have a really simple easy quiz that pulls questions off a .txt file. Trouble is, whenever a question uses the special character "&", flash doesn't display it. Almost as if it isnt there. If I push things further, it actually displace a space, or in some cases seems to delete whatever letter was in front of it!?
Does anyone know whats going on? Does anyone know what I need to do to the data sheet (or flash) to let it full up % and other special characters like $, #, or @ ??
Special Characters Do Not Appear When Loading A .txt File. Why?
I have an invisible button.
onRollover it loads a text file:
loadVariablesNum ("textfile.txt", 0);
This is cool but the problem is that the file does not display any special characters (eg. %, +, &).
If the special character is between two words - it drops the word after the special character.
I have tried to replace "&" with "&" but to no avail.
Please help...
Loading External Text With Special Caracters
I'm loading an external text into a dynamic text box and it works nice, I can even use few HTML tags to edit the text (like bold, underline, Italic etc..).
One thing that I cant control is the special caracters like the "é, è, î, à, ù, &," etc... for those special caracters it's showing other kind of caracters i've never seen before.
I've tried to put those caracter code (& e g r a v e ;
& e a c u t e ; & i c i r c ; ) in my text file to reproduce them but it's not working either.
Is there a way I can do it?

Special Characters Not Loading Correctly From LoadVar
Hi.
I'm pulling Text from a DB with ASP and loading it into Flash with LoadVars. The problem I"m having is with special characters like apostrophes and such. I tried the following function below but that puts in the "literal code" value into flash instead of what I want. For instance I would see """ in flash. Any ideas would be extreamly helpfull. Also when I'm creating dynamic textboxes in flash, can I load it with HTML tags. Some of my text has bullet points and I would like to show them..

Loading Url-encoded Special Symbols Into Flash
Hi, I've got a problem loading special symbols from a text file into an embedded flash textfield. I particularly want to load ” and “ but when i use the correct url encodes - %93 and %94 - it doesn't work. The text simply displays a gap. The & encode works ok so why shouldn't these others? Are only the basic special characters recognized or something?

Loading Dynamic Text, MX Won't Recognize Special Chars?
Hi Flashers,
I'm doing a Flash MC which loads some dynamic text from a .txt source file. The thing is that if the .txt file, contains special characters like Spanish-French é è á ñ etc, Flash MX does not recognize them when exporting or testing the movie, and instead it displays a lil' square or a missing letter.
That did not happen with Flash 5, why is that so? Is there any option I'm missing to avoid it? Haven't been able to find it. Has anybody experienced something similar??
Thank you,
Manare

Why Is Cgi-bin Special?
I have a server side perl script running in the cgi-bin directory that returns html to the client. It embeds a flash object with the standard <object> and <embed> tags. The HTML is received correctly by the client, but the flash object does not display.
If you save the received page as static html, it displays just fine, so the syntax is correct. Obviously saved someplace other than the cgi-bin directory, as it is not readable, generally.
Once the html is returned to the client, how can the rendering be different from a static html page? I'm saying that if you do "view source", once from the returned html and once from the static page, you see no differences, whatsover. The only difference is the URL of the page. When "cgi-bin" is in the URL, the object does not display.

Special Characters
I was wondering if anyone has encountered any creative ways for getting around using special characters in dynamic text fields. Specifically, getting text characters into Flash isn't a problem, but (using a third party extra) saving that info to a text file creates significant problems because the literal character is saved (or not depending on which character it is) to the text file and then won't appear on a reload. Aside from creating our own save utility (which we're working on), have you ever run across this scenario or heard of workarounds for this?

Special Scrollbar
hello,
i've desigend a scrollbar as a movieclip with a motion tween over 100 frames to move the scrollbar up and down. (by calculating the scroll position i send the movie to the correct frame, when the user scrolls in a textfield);
the problem is : the bar doesn't move straight up and down, but is guided by a motion guide to go some small curves.
is there any way to make the scrollbar dragable - (movement still restricted to the motion guide)
thanks for your help in advance,

Special Preloader
hello everyone, here's a question about creating a preloader in between a bunch of .swf that are driven by loadMovie script.
i.e. I started with a blank page loading in buttons, when clicking a button it reloads the buttons + a picture. I need a loading movieclip in front of the picture. Now I understand that there is a problem that individual .swf files don't read scripts from one another. Or do they???

Special Characters On Mac Os X
Hi, - I recently discovered that when I use System.useCodepage = true; in a swf where I import external txt files, - the special characters like æ, ø, and å doesn't show if the swf is played on a mac with os x.
However, it works on mac 9.x systems and all the pc's I could test.
Isn't it strange to make a new os and then this is what you get??
Well, - can anybody tell me a way to get by this problem??

Special Preloader
I'm very tired of searching how to do a preloader that checks if a frame (by Label) is loaded.
Has someone an exemple?
Now I try with Frame Numbers but I have problems too.
I axplain you what I need to do:
1) The user is in Scene 1.
2) He push a button.
3) The script gives variables to a movie clip. (vScene,vFrameNb)
4) The movie clip checks if the frame is loaded. *
5) if ok it goes to the frame vFrameNb in vScene
*
switch (Scene) {
case "Scene2":
if (_parent._framesloaded>=FrameNb){
_parent.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",FrameNb);
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
I see a problem with FrameNb. For me it's the Frame Number of the scene and not of the movie.
Why is that so difficult to test such thing? One big point is that Flash can be streamed but there is no easy way to test if one frame of one scene is loaded.
If someone could help me with this it will be great.
