Re: f5 and d8.5 - tell target functions?
Hey Terry - thanks for the info - I'm now seeing what you meant in the
chat by the director to flash communication...
I've got a custom function in frame 1 of a nested/nested clip, ie
_root.buttondown.allbuttons, the function being "switchThem" - it asks for
one parameter to be passed, but I really want to call it without any
parameter...
I've tried
sprite(x).telltarget("_root.buttondown.allbuttons")
sprite(x).callframe(1)
-- but that doesn't work. Although I can directly set the nexted
movieclips inside of buttons with
sprite(x).telltarget("_root.buttondown.allbuttons.mc3")
sprite(x).gotoframe(1)
so I can do a workaround, but it's pissing me off that
1) the callframe doesn't work (and is kind of old AS since they went for
functions in f5
2) I can't call FUNCTIONS in a flash sprite, ie even something like
sprite(x).callframe("_root.buttondown.allbuttons.switchThem") - but that's
really doing a telltarget...hmm
Any ideas?

flash 5 telltarget final
Ah, the docs are wrong, nested clips are not accessable with "\" but "/",
ie:
sprite(8).telltarget("buttondown/allbuttons/mc5")
sprite(8).gotoframe(1)

No, drat the luck. BTW - you should use modern syntax if possible:
(sprite x).tellTarget("_root.allButtons")

It's actually:

Nope.

f5 and d8.5 - tell target functions?
I've got a function in a frame that I call 'switchEm' - and that frame is
just looping (no stop, no play, just one frame in a movieclip).
Can I call that function from director, ie:
sprite(x).telltarget("/allbuttons")
sprite(x).switchThem()
sprite(x).endTellTarget()
or do I have to use the old frame call?
sprite(x).telltarget("/allbuttons")
sprite(x).call(1)
sprite(x).endtelltarget()
or at worst, do I have to have a root variable that said function checks
up to?

If you change more than 2 things, you'll will have to get a new serial. In this special case this is no problem, since the user is in constant contact with me (the seller) anyway. This is to keep him from using two copies on two different machines which by the way ist in the first line for his security, because the application sends thousands of SMS at his own costs.

Re: editable text fields
it's fairly simple. the actual check looks like this: whichTextMember = "editableFieldMember" -- or whatever the name is theRightAnswer = "doggydoo" -- or whatever the right answer is on checkForCorrect me if member(whichTextMember ).text = theRightAnswer then -- correct!!! else -- incorrect end if end and to call it: on keyUp me if member(whichTextMember).text.char.count = theRightAnswer.char.count then me.CheckForCorrect end if end is the bare bones logic. it gets trickier when you want to limit the number or kinds of characters that can be entered, and i think it's a little weird just to check for correct when they have the right number of letters, as opposed to a submit button. but if that's what you want, the above is a start... hope this helps, bhakti Kenneth Park wrote: > > Hi List > > Newbie here > > I am building a quiz in which the user will input their answer in an > editable text field.

editable text fields
Hi List Newbie here I am building a quiz in which the user will input their answer in an editable text field. I would then like the user to check this answer against the correct answer without using the return key or clicking on a submit button. I was thinking that I could use a behaviour which I could attach to the text field. This behaviour would count the number of characters keyed in by the user and on the last character check the answer. The problem is that I don't really know how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First Micro$oft think its a good idea, and now everybody's following the mold.

Re: Displaying contents of other fields in a V12 dbe onmouseUp
I think that you can't do this the way you want to do. That is, you can't determine which record from the original database the user has clicked on. Instead, you have to get all your data in advance and save it away in a local or global variable. For example: global glAdditionalInfo -- global list of additional info mOrderBy(gTable, "StillToDo") mSelect(gTable) put mGetSelection(gTable, "LITERAL", 1, mSelectCount(gTable), ", ", return, "StillToDo") after field "STILL TO DO LIST" -- add somethng like this: glAdditionalInfo = (gTable, "List", 1, mSelectCount(gTable), "AdditionalInfo") Now you have all the additional info for all selected records in a global list. When the user clicks on your StillToDo field, you determine the line number clicked on, and use that as an index into the glAdditionalInfo list and put out the matching Additional Info.

I did it almost 5 years ago & with only minor tweaks I haven't looked at it since. just my NSH opinion Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alcambersoftcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: "There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

Frankly speaking...I don't. Not for FileIO atleast. Now if you're talking about Networking Lingo, then we've got plenty of code libraries on that. : -) Cordially, Pranav Negandhi New Media Applications. Learnet India Limited, Mumbai. Phone: 91-22-859 8042 Ext: 410 the thing to do here is to copy the file to the TEMP directory, set the attribute to read/write and do what you will. it is the best way to deal with the problem. if you write a couple of handlers as a part of your basic reusable FileIO library of code (you do have one don't you?) you would have it forever!

Entry point not found in projector file run by cd
Hi friends, > Are you sure you also included the necessary DLLs in the projector's Xtras > folder? ie. Iml32.dll, Dirapi.dll, msvcrt.dll and Proj.dll > I had put all the dll files on exe file path & also in xtras folder but still error is not gone. This error is come only in window Nt & window 2000 system not in window 95,98 system. I had also put karnel32.dll but still error is not gone. I made projector file in window nt system but error is not gone. But if i run exe file form Hardisk(copy in my system & then run) then it runs fine. If i create cd or run that exe file by network then it doesn't work & gives error.

RE: Update-- Still need help.
I've been majorly pissed off using FileIO to open files off read only media in WinNT and W2k. Just doesn't work properly on them. You can try using getNetText instead.

Instead of an alert, I find a scrolling text field and using put statements, as if you were debugging inside of Director using the message window, to be very effective. Something like: put myPutStatement & RETURN after field "message" will do the trick. This will allow you to trace what's going on a bit easier. You can also make little text boxes to act like the watcher does to track certain variables. Make a bunch of little code tracking tools and try and nail it down that way. Since you're burning, you might want to make a bunch of them at first. Better to have too many than not enough. =) -Steven [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
