Pay-for Telephone Help For Flash 5?
Does anyone know of a pay-for telephone helpline for Flash 5? I mean, I love Flashkit and Were-Here, but sometimes it's not the same as talking to someone live.

thanks,

Help With Flash Telephone
Hi there

I have created a push button phone in flash 5 and basically when you press each button at the moment I have used dynamic text to show what button has been pressed. What I need to do now is allow the user to press up to 4 buttons and then display that number. For example the users presses button 3 then 5 then 2 then 1

In my dynamic text box I want to display to the user 3521, but at the moment I can only work out the have one dynamic field that replaces the last number with the next number pressed.

Please could someone help me on how to go about doing this? thanks so much for your help.

Telephone Validation
I have created a Flash Form in Flash MX. The form has various fields: name, address, email, telephone, etc. that pass to an email after the user clicks on the Submit button. I want to do one of two things:

1. I want to add some code so that after the user adds the 9 number telphone number that it automatically formats to (504) 123-4455 or 504-333-3333. So it would be after the user tabbs or moves off of the telephone text field, the number would automatically format.

- OR -
2. Or I just want to add some validation code to my submit button to check that the user has entered the proper format, either (504) 123-4455 or 504-333-3333.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated, I am really just an intermediate newbie.

How Do I Create A Number/telephone Keypad?
Hello, All!

I'm interested in creating number/telephone keypad, but I can get multiple numbers to append to each other. I creating a simple little app where the user "punches in" an amount from an on-screen number keypad. When the user presses 5-0-0, I'd like it to set the variable to "500".


The only method I'v tried (or know how to do) is:
on(press){set("varNumber1",1)} - But this only allows me one number at a time.

Is there any exisiting code out there - or could someone show me how to append the numbers to each other.

Thank you.

How To Format Input Text Like SSN Or Telephone ?
I've been searching the internet and help docs with CS3 and can not find any solution.

How can I have an input text field that accepts text in a given format such as social security number or U.S. based telephone number. Such that the field already displays the dashed or slahes or parenthes and when the user types it fills in the input box correctly?

example: the input box for a U.S. based telephone number would have "(   )   -    "
as the user types, it would fill in "(123)456-7890" without the user having to type the "()" or "-".

I beleive I maybe able to use "restrict" but I'm not sure.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Need URGENT Help Re: Required Telephone & Enquiry Type Fields In Contact Form.
Hi all

Thank you in advance. Help needed urgently. I need to complete the contact form I'm working on at work by the end of today if possible. I'm stuck and can not find the solution anywhere.

I need the AS to make users type only numbers in the 'Telephone Field' and users to only have the option of typing 'general' OR 'sales' in the Enquiry Field.

This is what I have currently in the 'Email Field'. I need something similar.

Attached is an image of the contact form I'm working on.


Code:
TextField.prototype.isEmail = function() {
if (this.text.indexOf("@") == -1 || this.text.indexOf(".") == -1) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
};
Kindest regards

Web Speed Simulator
Hi everyone,

I just discovered a great tool for us flashers. A web speed simulator:

www.xat.com

I know we have a bandwidth profiler and all in Flash but that is not useful when we are loading other swfs into the one we are testing.

With this tool you can set the connection speed and then browse the page and see how the clip will load.

I like this tool - but there is one - there must be other that I would like to compare to this one.

Do you know of any other tools like this one?

Regards,
Sambo

Simulator.. Is This Possibe? What Do I Need?
Hey everyone... first of all, great forum.

Well this is going to be a bit long, but it would be kewl if some people could help me out.

Basically I have never used Flash MX < Only Swish... don't hate me >, and right now i'm trying to figure out what tool I need to purchase at work, Flash MX, or Director MX.

At work we use a system called AS/400 to view customer information... I guess the best way to describe it is to call it somewhat DOS based. Everything is accessible through one window, and Keyboard function keys. We need to create a simulator for training that would basically look like the actual system.

Four years back our company outsourced this project and it cost over $15, 000 So we're trying to do things a little different The application they created execute in Macromedia Projector, so I'm guessing the file itself is a FLASH file, am I correct ?

I guess I can take you through a couple screens, and it will make a little more sense...

1st screen. Basically a logon screen, you enter you user name, and a password, and press F1 to logon.

2nd screen. Two fields. You enter a customer account number and press F5 to view account information, and lets say F6 for help.

and so on...

What it appears they did when they created the simulation, is they simply took screen shots of all the system screens, and you're basically navigating between them with Function keys. The simulator is not at all connected to a system (obviously), and they assigned specific numbers, and user names for people to log on.

so here are some questions (if this makes any sense at all :

- Does this sound like it could be done in Flash
- Is it relatively easy to make keyboard function keys work within a flash application? ... like F1, F5, SF5... and so on? Would it have to be launched in projector?
- Do we need to get Flash MX, or Director MX to create something like this?


Sorry for making this long, and I don't know if it makes any sense... so if you have any questions... or possibly example of something similar to this... that would be awsome.

THANKS !!!

Windows Simulator
Hey everyone

I have being playing with flash for some while now (bout 3 years). Now I haven't done anything special with it recently and out of boredom or inspiration I came up with an idea.

Why don't I create a Windows PC Simulator. What I mean is an application which runs like a Windows PC. I don't know if I can do this due to legal reasons or if it has been done.

However if none of the two affect this then I shall continue with it. I was also thinking of making it a Public Project so everyone can do their bit for it, if they wanted.

So if you have any comments or wanna help then please post here and I think we could get a good thing going. The purpose I am unsure about but you never know what could turn out. It could become a regular thing with a team building multiple applications for internet usage.

So once again any ideas, comments or wanting to take part, please leave a message.

Thanks

Driving Simulator
Hi, I was wondering if Flash can respond to a steering wheel and pedals like the ones used for playing. So like with actionscript one can control the speed of a car when a user presses the gas pedal and also how the car moves when the user moves the steering wheel.

Does anyone know if this is possible, and if it is can someone show me where can I look for more info about it?

Thanks.

56k Modem Simulator
I really neeed to check some flash I have done on a modem but no one at work has a modem (or access to one)

I know you can simulate any bandwidth when you test the movie but this wont work in my case because the flash is calling a load of ASP pages and also loading all sorts of images/movies dynamically.

I was wondering if anyone has heard of any softwar that can limit the bandwidth when surfing a certain site.

Thanks

U.S.A.F Rapcon Simulator Project
Hello,

I'm in the Air Force, and a student in Air Traffic Control. I'm working on a "simulator" that simulates air traffic and the controller give headings and altitude changes to the aircraft and what not. This is a free program to other students to help them out with having a visual of the scope instead of practicing on the radar tables here at the squadron with dry erasers, and paper.

This is a bit more advanced than what I know. And I need some great free help. I can not afford to pay anyone.

http://www.zstudiox.com/ARRIVAL.html

That is the ARRIVAL scope. We've been dragging and dropping the aircraft to simulate their flight path, and I was wondering if there would be anyway to be able to program these aircraft so that we can type a heading in for them and they would fly it. That way we can have a more realistic scope, and be able to simulate more aircraft at the same time. Also we'd like to be able to type in their altitude (ALT), and update it in the aircraft data block.

If anyone can help me with this I'd greatly appreciated it!

Thank You,
AMN. Black

Create Keyboard Simulator In Flash
I cant find exactly what I need.

Anybody seen a tutorial for creating a basic keyboard in Flash?

1)Needs text input to var (each time a key is pressed that letter is appended to the value of the var). Var is only max of seven characters.

2) Needs "clear all" button.

3) Needs backspace button.

I think I can handle #1 and #2. #3 is the difficult one for me. I am creating a kiosk simulator for usability testing. That's what the keyboard is for.

Thanks in advance.

[CS3] [AS3]Creating A Gravity Simulator In Flash
I am trying to create a gravity simulator in flash but have encountered a problem...The formula i'm trying to use is obviously:

F = GmM/ r^2
F = Force on the body
G = gravitational constant
m = mass of body 1
M = mass of body 2
r = distance between the two bodies

This is what i have in the coding so far.


Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

xdist = Math.round(_root.Ball_MC._x-this._x);
ydist = Math.round(_root.Ball_MC._y-this._y);
distancefromthis = Math.round(Math.sqrt((xdist*xdist)+(ydist*ydist)));

var forceplanet = Math.round((gravity*planetmass*sunmass)/(distancefromthis*distancefromthis))
_root.textbox1.force = _root.Planet.forceplanet;

}
Too see if my coding works i'm trying to make the textbox equal the variable forceplanet, but for some reason is blank when i run the test. Any help is appreciated thx!
Attached is the fla.

Flash Based Exam Simulator
Hi,

We have been doing web application development using java till now. We have a requirement to develop a standalone exam simulator using flash . However the application would do the authentication over the net. We would want an exe to reduce the chances of someone hacking the source code. How should we bundle the questions with the application? We would want to protect the content of the questions so that no one can copy and paste the same

Credit Card Statement Simulator
Hi there everybody

I'm working on a little project where I have to simulate a credit card statement and show how making minimum payments for 6 months doesn't lower your balance very quickly. They can scroll through a bunch of items to pretend 'purchase'. When they're done shopping, the code is supposed to calculate the interest being charged, and the minimum payment due, until the balance is gone or six months have passed... which ever comes first. If they only spent $20.00, they'll pay it off before 6 months is up. If they spend a ton of money, then at the end of 6 months they'll have a statement that has not decreased significantly.

My calculations aren't working. It's boggling my brain. I've been testing it with $100 as the total for all purchases. Rather than a nested function, maybe I should be using a for loop to count through the 6 months.

I've pasted in sample code with a static $100 as the purchases. I'll attach a file too.

Any help would be absolutely fabulous.


Code:
//initial values for variables and symbols.
statementNumber=1;
mindue_rate=0.025;
PRFC=0.049827;

_root.allPurchases=100.00


//initial calculation for first month (because there is no interest on the first month).
month1=_root.allPurchases;
month1_mindue=month1*mindue_rate;

if(month1<10.00){
tipBox2.tipBoxText.text="Your total purchases were $"+_root.allPurchases+". Your balance is less than $10.00. That means you pay the total amount charged to your credit card on this bill. You have no balance to carry forward to month two. If you want to find out how interest can accumulate, do some more shopping and click again to view this statment. To learn more about this statement, roll your mouse over the terms.";

Trying To Develop Robotic Manipulator Simulator In Flash....pls Help
Hi friends,

I am a robotics programmer and am trying to develop a simulator for one of my research work. I have created a C code which will give me joint angles for the 6 joints of an industrial robot. Between every 2 joints is 1 link. Now i am trying to create an application where when i feed those 6 joint angles, the 6 joints should rotate by that specific amount (whihc hsould not be very difficult to achieve). However if joint 1 rotates by 45 degrees, all the links and joints after it should get displaced by 45 degrees. Further each joint would displace the links and joints after it similarly. In this way i would be able to get the robot to move to a desired point and check if my calculations are right. I am wondering how to do this. Any comments would be really appreciated. If someone can prepare a small prototype for 2 joints and 1 link then i can replicate the same for all the other joints.

Please help me out on this one guys.

Float Simulator... Help With Mouse Control Of Movie Clip
Can someone help with my movie?? I am trying to have the mouse control the movement of a movie clip. Is there a way to limit the amount the mouse can move the clip to prevent it from being pulled off the screen. I want all of the edges of the clip to be the limits that the movie can be moved. Kind of a float simulator.. check out what I mean here:



http://www.folkphotography.com/index...h/rainier.html


Here is the script I used:


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//x movement
mx=_root._xmouse;
if (mx<_x) {
dx=_x-mx;
}
else {
dx=mx-_x;
}
moveSpeedx=dx/10;
if (mx<_x) {
_x=_x-moveSpeedx;
}
else {
_x=_x+moveSpeedx;
}
//y movement
my=_root._ymouse;
if (my<_y) {
dy=_y-my;
}
else {
dy=my-_y;
}
moveSpeedy=dy/10;
if (my<_y) {
_y=_y-moveSpeedy;
}
else {
_y=_y+moveSpeedy;
}
}


Any suggestions??

Thanks!
