View 1 RepliesThey have been made following a tut from Flash_db.I have not been able to test the PHP script yet so no probs with that , but the problem lies in my Flash movie.
The submit button uses a getURL action, but Flash cannot seem to find the PHP file, even though they are in the same folder.
I've just inherited a flash file on a project since I was the only one who has even seen actionscript code before. So, I'm pretty new to this, but have been programming a pretty long time. What we want is for the animation to begin upon the user clicking it and then when it finishes proceed to the html post submit. From what I see, the code seems mostly to be there, there is a 'stop' event, move next event, and even a 'on press' event. How do I get this to work? I can see the cod in the actions frame, but can't seem to edit it. Attempting to debug it, gives me errors on publishing. (How do I change my publishing?)
This is currently actionscript 2.0. (but we seemingly have no external restrictions on keeping it so) As I mentioned, I'm pretty new to this, so if I am asking the wrong questions,
I am making a little hidden object game and I want a sound to play everytime an object is clicked on, but I can't figure out how to do it.my sound is a movie clip called "meow". Anyone know how to do this?here is the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
found = [];
for (i=0; i<7; i++) {
[code].....
I have an HTML form that I want to upload to MySQL with PHP. That part's easy, but the thing is I want the submit button to be a Flash object. Somehow I need the Flash button to submit the form, but I think I can figure that out. The tricky part is that I need it to set another PHP variable before submitting the form. The variable will be determined by a bunch of stuff, but I can code that in actionscript later. I just need to figure out how to pass the variable back to the webpage. A $_POST variable would probably be fine.
edit: What if the flash object returned some javascript and set a variable that way? making it submit the form as well while still catching a variable?
[URL] - which works fine on start, but I want to attach this function to only start on certain words at a certain event action. With what I got can anyone see how I can stagger the function to a specific event? Here is what I have so far, which starts the letter cycling, but it ends on the first letter and does not complete the full word:

here is the fla file - [URL] I have an attached movie on root level that movie has a button inside it and I want to tell that button to do some function. simple----BUT I want to put the action on the first frame on the root and not inside th MC. here is the code Iam working on and the same is in the fla file in the above link.
[Code]...
explanation of the above code-- but1 is the button on root that tells clip1 to attach on blank MC(thats also on root) clip1 has the button inside it call but2 and tried to tell that bloody but2 to open that the URL link but its not doing so NOTE - I want to put all the action on the action on the first frame and not inside th MC.
to a frame I want to attach 2 conditions which an action has to fulfill before it can execute something.
so:
if (particularVar == Yes AND anotherniceVar == 25) {
thisfunkyMC.gotoandStop(49);
}
but obviously, this doesn't work.How do I have to correctly formulate it so I can put two conditions side an If statement, before something will be executed?
Code:
_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
I am trying to have my image uploader have a browse button and submit button (because the submit button will be sending information from a few text fields as well and they need to be sent at the same time).
I've been fiddling around with it and I can't seem to figure it out.. I tried just having the browse function on a separate button but im failing miserably..
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("http://dev3.webcanada.com/clients/starwood/GB-Historybook/pages/write.php");
import flash.net.FileReference;
// The listener object listens for FileReference events.

How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.

correct flash code and php script for the send button on our church website. I've tried everything, but still can't get it to work. Here is the ActionScript code that is listed:
on (rollOver){this.gotoAndPlay("s1");}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut){this.gotoAndPlay("s2");}
on (release) {

I am working on a game it is almost complete. The problem that i am having is in the codes for the submit button and the checkboxes the pseudo code is:
1. player chooses two choices for each element listed
2. when the submit button is hit the checkboxes are given a number value
3. those values are added together and compared to the value pulled from the database
4. if correct they go to next substance - it should just reload frame 8 (i think)
5. if incorrect it goes to frame 11
the submit button is not working so i can not tell if the checkboxes are working The full files can be seen at [URL]
Code:
substance.text = myVars.substance;
sum.text= myVars.sum;
score.text = Score;
[Code]....
I know this seems like a stupid question but I am really not able to get this to work.I need an input box with a submit button.I gave the box a var of levelCodeInput and the frame has a code of [code]When I type skiptut into the input box it doesn't go to frame 8.It just stays the same and nothing happens.I tried tracing accepted in the code on the button as well and that didn't make any output.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to submit a form using a AS3.I have a button on my .swf which calls a javascript function in the header of the .html document.I've tested this with javascript alert, and it is working.But I can't seem to make it submit the form.The javascript call I wrote is: [code]
View 2 Repliesi have desgined it so that i have written most of the story but the user can sellect say for example the name for the character by selecting a comobox.
i now need to create a submit button that will store their choices, and it anther use them in another frame. to basically to show the user their finished story.
i will paste my code onto here. note the options for combo-boxes are loaded from a simple xml file.
I might as well put it out while I'm writing. I'm having problems linking my Submit button on my form. Here is my code:
stop();var getPHP:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.dggrafix.com/glutenfree2/contactformprocess.php");
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, formClick);
function formClick(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(getPHP);}
I put this code on the timeline of the form. Correct me if I'm wrong the submit button just needs to link to your PHP file on your server. I'm getting back a #1009 error Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I tried referencing the movie file that the button is in ie: form.submit_btn, still get and error.
I'm a Flash newbie using the program to develop a multimedia lesson. I want to include some practice questions where students are asked to answer a quesion by typing numerical values in the box. Then when they hit "enter" I want it to take them to a new question if they get the right answer, or a screen that says "try again" if they get it wrong. Here's the script that I used. I attached it to the "enter" button. The variable name is "answer_box"

This is something I've now tried for several weeks. I know it can be done because I see the swf files but after an all nighter and this being the third time that I've revisited this figure it's about time to ask the pro's.
How does one have calculations or conversions happen instantly as values are entered? No submit button, no enter, just as they type. So if they entered 1 in input box one then obviously nothing will happen but uppon entering data in the second I want the results text field to display the answer. So basically an eventlistener but not listening to a button but rather the input text field.

I have added following code on form submit button:
on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("[URL]",
"POST");
}
Another this is that I have to pass the id along with this url. But I am not getting how to get id from my XML file.
Structure of XML is as follows:
<ratings><video file="video1.flv">
<title>Lays</title><runtime>auto</runtime>
<author>Bharati 1</author>
<views>1</views><commercialid></commercialid>

How do I take this javascript code:
<input name="NXT" type="button" value="Continue" onclick=nextq()>
and put it into my flash submit button? So far I have:
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
myName = nName.text;
}
I changed the instance name to NXT, the type is already button, and I changed the label to say continue. Can create variables and add request new functions too?
I want to create a program that has a button that when clicked, moves a BOX +1 on either the x or y axis each time the BUTTON is pressed. I know how to make the button and the the BOX, but I am unsure of how to perform the Loop statement and the animating the position statement. I thought it might work something like where the Position of the BOX would increase by +1 each time the button was pressed.

View 3 RepliesI have created a submit button in Flash 5.0 and embedded it in my ASP form.
This is the script for it....
on (release) {
getURL ("verify.asp", "_self", "POST");
}
Why isn't it bringing up my verify.asp page but only the error.html page?
