I am required to send an http request to a server which will get me some xml. I am using LoadVars to do the job.
Code:

I'm basically sending some variables to a php script from flash and then returning some values back to flash from the script. The problem is that the values returned to flash are appearing correctly but do not test correct. My actionscript and php scripts are below (just samples displaying the the mechanics of what i'm trying to do):

One of the moderators, could you've a look at this tutorial: [URL] it doesn't works with me, maybe because I've 2004 so if you change loadVars() into LoadVars() it should work

View 14 RepliesI'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?

View 5 RepliesI am interested in buying flash however even with the discount given to students as a program it is still a large investment. I was wondering if I am able to buy an older version for example "Flash 8" at a reduced price from adobe or another trusted retailer I know the newer version have updated the program alot but many of the new features will be unused by me and the older version would suit my needs better.
View 1 RepliesI have a copy of Adobe Flash CS3 Professional installed on my work desktop. I'm soon going offsite for a couple of months during which period I'd be using my work laptop instead. My laptop does not have Flash CS3 on it, so I was hoping of transferring the license to the laptop. I read somewhere that I need to deactivate the license on my desktop (using Help >> Deactivate license) before uninstalling it. Unfortunately, I don't see that option in the Help menu at all.

I've read through this section of Adobe's excellent 10.1 optimization tips. I found the statement below to be very helpful. Is there anything else to look out for? Is the dumbed-down difference just: use the GPU for raster and CPU for vector graphics?
The GPU is only effective for bitmaps, solid shapes, and display objects that have the cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix set. When the GPUis used in tandem for other display objects and this generally results in poor rendering performance.
I need to realize textbox autoresizing in actionscript3(IDE - adobe flash pro cs3). For example my textarea is in width 100 px, user has been wrote in it something, that is bigger than 100 px, then my textbox should become increasingly.Also I can't realize multiline option: when the text goes beyond the textbox, it starts to scroll. In line type I've chosen 'multiline'.

I'm having a little issue during my project, cause I can't use those "normal" preloaders. The problem is that I have all the website-graphics in the library, export in frame 1 (because I don't have any more frames than that, everything is done by actionscript), so I need some magic trick to show the loading bar, while loading, though everything is in the library... I tried this one here, to load my stuff from another swf :[URL] BUT... it gave me this little error here:

am building a Flash application that lists approximately 500 companies alphabetically and by sector. This will then be put on a minidisc for distribution.My problem is that the client wants a search option as well.I've considered doing each company profile as a separate swf that is loaded, but I'm sure there must be a better way.

ActionScript Code:
details.push([ItemCode,ItemColour,ItemName,ItemCost]);
I then output this cart on my movie file by using...
ActionScript Code:
var test:String = "";

for (i = 0; i < details.length; i++)[code]....
the cart items are outputted into a dynamic text field. The problem is that next to each item i need to add a delete button that deletes the specific row that it is placed upon.i know i could use splice to remove the item from the array, but the problem is getting to this stage first.

View 5 RepliesI could create a movie clip for a bullet and create a new instance of one every time a bullet is fired. Then, I could have 100 little bullets all flying around checking collision detection...
There must be a better, more efficient way to do bullets. Anyone know of anything already out there?Otherwise, I could create a collision detection queue for the bullets, or predict where the bullet will fly (since it is usually always linear), but if the bullets become larger, the actual movie clip of the bullet may be wide enough to hit something, but the line the bullet is traveling does not necessarily hit that other object.
But is there a fast, efficient system or way of handling things already out there?
I'm working on writing a new testing utility for my company, and I'm not sure what the correct answer is on this one. Their existing software uses HTML to give and score online tests, and the HTML works with mod_perl and mysql to send and receive the data. I've got the new system 90% functional, except one part.
the questions and answers are stored in the database AS HTML. They are send to the flash movie via loadvars, and I have even gotten them to start displaying. My problems however are that the images do not seem to be loading properly every time, the scrolling of the textarea doesn't seem to work AT ALL, and even when the images do load, they are not lined up properly (adobe says : "An image loaded using the IMG tag will appear on the screen on the line following the IMG tag." Now why the hell would I want it to do that?!?!?!?!)

I have rendered out a FLV with alpha enabled and using wmode options correctly, i am able to get my flash content embed on top of my pages, over the content.
1) I need the embedded flash content to have a close button, otherwise what i am seeing is a flash movie playing on without an option to close. Tried a button with
on
(release){
getURL("java script:window.opener=self;self.close();");
}
2) Also I need to start this content in the webpage using a mouse over over a button. I know most of you can do it easily.
I have a doubt regarding MouseChildren in Flash as3, i am having a movieclip named as containermc and a button named as clickbtn inside containermc, Here i want to addEvent Listeners for both the movieclip and button! I used containermc.mouseChildren = false; to add click event listener to the containermc then i was not able to click the button, then i gave containermc.mouseChildren = true; then i was not able to click the containermc, and also i need to enable doubleclick to containermc movieclip.
View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic text box set up called 'circle'. Each time the movie loads I want it to display different text.
Currently, I have
Actionscript Code:
_root.circle="hello","nice to see you", "hello, again";

Unfortunately, when it loads it just sticks with the first 'hello', instead of choosing one of the other options. How can I tell flash to display a different text option each time?
Since updating to 10.0.2, I have been unable to access the AIR settings (File -> AIR Settings) for my FLA file which is published as AIR 1.5.I get an JavaScript error pop up about "Apollo_OpenSettingsDialog.jsfl" every time I click on the menu option. The same thing happens when accessing the AIR settings through File -> Publish Settings -> Flash (tab) -> Player [Adobe AIR 1.5] (settings).This has rendered my previously working AIR project totally unusable as I can no longer make any changes to the AIR settings. Four months of work is now inaccessible.
View 1 RepliesSo I have recently aquired Flash CS4 and the Quicktime Export is completely different from any version before.I create a lot of 3-4 minute shorts in Flash and have always enjoyed the ease of QT export, but when I export with CS4 I get all kinds of ghosting, even on 5-10 second clips so breaking up the fla file's scenes is no help.After doing a lot of online research I see a few people have similar problems, but no concrete explanations or solutions.Has Flash-to-Quicktime compatability been disabled?I see that the "Quicktime Movie" export options is not available, only the "Quicktime" export, which yields inferior results. Since I export to the web and for dvd I don't want to have to export PNG sequences and rebuild the soundtrack, but is there simply no longer quality compatability between the two programs?Do I need to ditch Flash for Toon Boom?

View 4 RepliesI imported to library a jpg (of a book). I simply want it to "grow" abit. I converted it to symbol, placed it in a keyframe. Made a new key frame at the end. But when I try to insert a shape tween, that choice is greyed out.
View 3 RepliesI've imported a gif file into flash, traced it into the bitmap, made 24 symbols from 25 I wanted, I've distributed them into timeline, made a simple animation from few layers just for fun, when I made a new symbol it was from the first frame, only there was possible to see all graphic and select a new symbol, however now when I click on the first frame the last part of graphics that I want to convert to symbol is grey and I'm not able to select it (picture 4, the small grey stains), however with a selection tool it is possible to change a shape of the "stain". Other miracle I don't understand is the magenta square in left up corner, picture3 (it occurs only from 2nd frame), in library no symbol has this square.
View 1 RepliesI've got a few encoded high definition videos that are now .flv files and I'm wondering which is the best option to choose when importing the .flv file into my Flash project? I'm looking for fastest loading/streaming with best quality to be the result. If I choose a streaming option like progressive download from a web server, would the choice be dependent on the type of server the file(s) are hosted on? I'm using Flash Professional 8.
