[Flashcoders] Re: Re: Form Help Needed, Please - STILL NEED HELP

2006-07-25 Thread Loren R. Elks
Can you explain that code a little to me?

You could try using loadVars and return a status in xml rather than 
loadVariablesNum...

var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars;
var xml_results:XML = new XML();
xml_results.ignoreWhite = true;
xml_results.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
if (success){

} else {

}
}
myVars.sendAndLoad(yourfile.asp, xml_results, POST); 



Sincerely,
Loren

Hi:

I've got a form that just does not send.  Can someone please look at my
code?

I placed the FLA, SWF, HTML and ASP files in a zip located at:
www.d-mag.org/testform/sent_out.zip

I found out that I'm going to have to use ASP, as the client's webhost
does not support PHP.

Could you also email reply back to me directly as well?

Thank you,

[Flashcoders] Missing Pixels???

2006-06-06 Thread Loren R. Elks
Hi:
I am having issues with screen clarity at run time.  

Background:
SWF A is loaded into movieclip Screener in SWF B.  Both SWFs are set for 30 
fps.  SWF A and Screener measure 922x530.  SWF B is about 100 pixels larger all 
the way around.  The target screen resolution is 1024x768.  SWF A contains a 
screenshot of a software interface that takes up the whole 922x530.

Problem:
When the presentation runs and SWF A is loaded and is playing in SWF B, we've 
noticed a slight blur (in some cases).  In others, it appears that some of the 
words (which are on the software interface screenshot) appear to be missing 
pixels (i.e. parts of some letters are missing).

Efforts:
We've tried resizing Screener and have had some success, but for some reason, 
we cannot get it totally clear.
Any ideas?


Loren

[Flashcoders] Styles in Flash

2006-06-01 Thread Loren R. Elks
Hi:

Is creating or importing HTML rendered text and then using CSS the only
way to really have styles in Flash?

By styles, I am referring to styles like in MS Word,
character/paragraph tags in Framemaker, etc.

Thanks,

[Flashcoders] Controlling an Embedded SWF

2006-05-25 Thread Loren R. Elks
Hi:

I have a SWF (SWF A) that I'm loading into a movieclip (Movieclip
C)which is part of another SWF (SWF B).  Basically, SWF B functions as a
player, with play and pause controls.  These controls control Movieclip
C where the external SWF A is loaded into.

Normally, I have had no problem with this and it always works.  At run
time, when you click the pause button on SWF B, a stop() command is
issued to Movieclip C, which stops the play of the external movieclip
(SWF A) loaded into it.

However, I did a screen capture with Captivate and published it as a
SWF.  I loaded this SWF (SWF A) into Movieclip C in SWF B at run time.
However, clicking the controls on SWF I created has NO EFFECT on the SWF
I created in Captivate.  It just keeps playing.

I guess all SWFs are NOT created equal.  How can I make this work?

[Flashcoders] HELP STILL NEEDED, PLEASE!

2006-05-24 Thread Loren R. Elks

Folks:

I still need help on this.  I know there are some really, really smart
folks on this list (smarter than me).  Can you please help me?

I am beginning to work with screens and slides.  I understand how to
load external swfs into my slides or screens.
 
Here's the question:  How do I write code such that when my external swf
that is loaded into the current slide or screen finishes playing, the
application will automatically move to the next slide (or another slide
or screen)?
 
 
 
Sincerely,

[Flashcoders] Slides/Screens Question - Help!

2006-05-24 Thread Loren R. Elks
OK.  I am creating this in a Flash Slide Presentation, NOT the normal
Flash document.

I have two buttons (play and pause) on the Master Slide (Presentation).
These buttons need to control the external content (external SWF) that
is loaded into each slide of the presentation.

For example, when Johnny clicks the Pause button (located on the Master
Slide), content1.swf which is loaded and playing inside Slide 1 stops.

I can't figure out the scoping on Slides and Forms.  Can anyone help?

If anyone knows of any really good web tutorials on Flash Form
Applications and Flash Slide Presentations, please let me know.

Thanks,
Loren

[Flashcoders] Scoping Issue with a Function - Help, please

2006-05-22 Thread Loren R. Elks
Hi:

Can someone help me with a scoping issue?

SWF A is being loaded into SWF B.  Currently, there's a function located in SWF 
A that is triggered by a user clicking on a movieclip in SWF A.  Basically, I 
am trying to make it trigger from a button in SWF B, instead of triggering by a 
button in SWF A.

When a user clicks Button B (located on SWF B), I would like it to call the 
function located in SWF A.  This function cause a menu to slide from the left 
side.

Could you please cc: me directly as well on your reply:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Thanks,
Loren

[Flashcoders] eLearning Standards Guide?

We have a set of standards (our dept handbook) that we use when created new 
training materials and documentation in our department.  This book details the

[Flashcoders] SourceSafe??? Recommendations needed.

2006-04-21 Thread Loren R. Elks
Hi:

We are slowing building our eLearning group in our company.  We are
finding that we really need a system like SourceSafe.

The question is, does anyone know if SourceSafe (or some other system
handles):

FLA, SWF files
BMP, GIF, PNG, JPG files
WAV files
DOC files
PDF files
FM files (Framemaker) files
PSD files
Corel files
We are looking for one system running on a server that would be able to
house all of these file types (maybe more) and provide versioning, check
in / check out, etc.

Also, it would be nice if the system could do comparisons. (Although
this may be asking for too much).  For example, it could compare 2 docs
and tell what the differences are.  However, this is a nicety, NOT a
requirement.

I appreciate any advice.


Sincerely,

Loren Elks

[Flashcoders] PDF to Flash

Does anyone know how you can put a PDF into Flash?  The only thing I can
find is FlashPaper, which is basically a print driver that converts
whatever you send to it into a SWF file.

2006-01-16 Thread Loren R. Elks
Hi:

I don't recall seeing an answer to this.  If I missed it, please let me
know.  See below:

Message: 4
Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 00:38:01 +
From: Stephen Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [Flashcoders] Listener objects vs event handler functions ...

To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

If this is an example of the listener object approach:



myObj = new Object();
myObj.onMouseDown = myFunction;
function myFunction() {
trace(tracing something);
}
Mouse.addListener(myObj);



... and the listener object approach is favored over the event handler 
function approach, what would the above code look like if it were
written 
with the event handler function approach.

Where you can use one approach, can you always use the other ? (trying
to 
understand the difference and where to use one instead of the other).

Apparently, the main reason the listener object approach is favored is 
because multiple listener objects can receive events from the same 
component/movieclip/etc. Does anyone have an example of this so I can
see 
the advantage in action.

Thanks in advance for any assist,
Stephen.
