ActionScript 2.0 :: PHP / MySQL / Flash Tutorial - Can't Get The Original Code To Work
Oct 16, 2005
I've modified the code to work with Pear, since I had it installed. However, I can't get the code to work. The consolation is I can't get the original code to work, either. You can find the original code's results here:
I am an action script novice, however I have just created my own custom load bar and scrubber for the flvplayback component using a tutorial but the code didnt work. I also tried this code given to me:
Iv just follwed page 1 of the tutorial for using flash with php and mysql, iv follwed the tutorial exactly how it tells me to and it doesnt seem to be working. Has anybody else had problems like this aswell or is it just me?
this error is being generated when publishing the flash file:
------ **Error** Symbol=Symbol 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances onClipEvent (load) { Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1 --------------
I've named the Movie Clip and the Dynamic Text window myVar ... not sure where I'm going wrong. The dynamic text window was created, then changed to a movie clip symbol, which is where the onClipEvent was added. (see attachments)After completing the tutorial and browsing the gallery.html page, the following error occurs: "The requested [URL]e was not found on this server." However read.php has been uploaded to my test server. I suspect that the problem is occurring within the .fla file.My end goal is to pull title and imagepath fields from an existing mysql db and display the results in a flash gallery.
I'm trying to generate an isometric grid via code using kirupa's tutorial but it's not quite working correctly as I'm trying to convert it. I am trying to generate a 5 x 5 grid with a unique coordinate to each square, but I can only get a row to form with the coordinates showing x = 5 and y = 5 for each square of the single row. There is also an unclickable square in the corner. Here is my code:
I've made a button that presents a movie clip (a window) on the screen, you can move this window by grabbing the tab on the top of the window. But when you exit this window and open another (duplicate is made), you cannot move the window at all.My guess is that the code is lost when the duplicate is made, can someone tell me how to transfer my code to all my duplicates? For more info, visit I sent this about a year ago, and still havent got a responce.
I ave created my first class Ellipse, which I am using to make a simple drawing app. This is simply an excercise so I can understand the Proces of writing more complex ode.Everything was going well but I cannot erase what I produce on the stage. I created a box_mc as a way to contain the drawing but only the box_mc is removed not the drawing, which I thought was inside. I have tried changing the class and Base Class in the properties but that did not work.I'm attaching the code bot Class.as and the fla file as they stand now so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.I was wondering if I need to introduce code in the original Class that mentions removeChild();
I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:
I would like to update this "Rollover Depth" script to work in Flash Player 7 (works in 6):url...The functionality works much better than the standard rollOver/rollOff scripts.I assume there's a problem with how the variables are declared, but haven't been able to fix it yet.[code]
//This is my original code which works fine when my button is present on the root timeline btn_up.onRelease = function() { getURL("javascript:Launch('website.html', 2000, 1200)");
I really hate when you read a tutorial from some "expert" and what it tells you to do is wrong. I was doing a tutorial for a XML slide show, and the last line of code doesn't work quite right:
[Code]....
For some reason that only sends the my_playback_counter to 1. And it just sits there twitching. So when I tried to change the tutorial code to:
I have followed the guide at this link to create a matrix code effect. The matrix code font file is available to download from this site also (mCode15). Once I get this file up and running and understand how it works, I'm going to tweak it somewhat to suit my needs.
Iam, however, experiencing some problems getting it to work as described in the tutorial. I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when the flash movie file runs, only the glyph symbol that I used to create the_one and one_pod movie symbols is displayed in the code that scrolls down screen. I have embedded the font the way it describes and even added it to the library and set it to export for actionscript using the linkage option. But the matrix code that rains down is still only one symbol which never changes.
I'm designing a portfolio website that will showcase artwork that could potentially take awhile to load, so I'm using the code from that tutorial:

I'm using one of these, one image, per frame. I'll be adding more and more in the future. I'm still a newbie to as3 and I haven't completely understood the basics yet, so my question is this: how do I reuse the above code for a different frame without having to paste the entire thing with different names? I tried this:
I've tried to use it. It works fine in all the browsers in a non frame layout. But when aplying it to a frame layout (i know, not cool but nessecairy) it refuses to work, and it generates an error message. That it can't open the requested HTML page.
i'm using a joomla-backend and am trying to create a flash frontend for my site. I'm using amphp to connect with my mysql-data, so i fetch the necessary data for the topmenu: buttonname and url.
Now i create buttons that i've animated with motiontweening. See script below.
My 2 biggest questions are:
- how do i add the textfield containing the buttonname?
- how do i get the buttons to link to the correct url?
i did manage to get the buttonnames displayed via the addChildmethod simmilar to the creation of the buttons, but that did screw up the mouse-events.
Code: Select allimport flash.net.*; var gw:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); gw.connect("http://mysite.be/amfphp/gateway.php"); var res:Responder = new Responder(onResult, onFault);
I have a trial version of the Adobe Flash CS5 installed on my machine and I am unable to get code hinting to work when I'm working on AS3 files. I've tried doing the reg fix from Lee's blog but still can't get it to work. I've also tried deleting the Flash regkey and the configuration folder but still can't get it to work.
I picked up the book ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University.so far it looks good. I have downloaded a few of the samples of code and some don't work or give an error message.TooEarlyExample gives me an error message of;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at TooEarlyExample()The flash file has two text fields and the code is supposed to populate them with some text. The first text field doesn't get populated with text but the second one does.
I have built a catalog in flash that was orginally built in InDesign and exported but it has some small content that is hard to read for the elderly users viewing it and I would like to add a zoom feature or some type of magnifying glass.
original: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:
I have a typical Flex-based application that was written to use a Java/Hibernate/MySQL backend. The client changed the requirements - now they want to distribute it on a CD where the user can just run the app without any installation or a network connection.
To do this, I certainly need to eliminate the web server and the database server and adapt my application (with as few changes as possible, of course) to a stand-alone application that will fit on a CD/DVD. I've managed to export the data to XML and read it into Flex, but I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate the Hibernate data structures in Flex so I could change as little code as possible. Failing that, is there any way to keep the existing Java/Hibernate external to the Flex code but retrievable without installing Apache Tomcat or MySQL?
I have a Flex application which manage a database composed by 7 tables.I have created the insert form and all work great. Now I wanto to improve the Form performances; the idea is to replace the TextInput of the Form with ComboBoxes which are provided by the DataBase tables
