This is in reference to the Kirupa tutorial "XML Guestbook with PHP". I used this guestbook on my previous site, and it worked great. The site was originally published under Flash 6 AS1. I am redesigning my site to be published as Flash 7 with AS2. When I test the guestbook in Flash 7 AS2, it errors. What parts of the actionscript do I need to update so it works with AS2?

I'm making a flash website for a non-profit organization. I made a guestbook with PHP and XML and my contact form with PHP, but the server I am using doesn't accept files with php, asp, js, html, or htm extensions. They are using godaddy's WebSite Tonight built-in website builder currently. They want to keep the original site for backup but cannot export the current website files because of the website builder application. Is there any way I get make a guestbook without php, asp, js, or html?

Does anyone know how to build a guestbook in flash. I guess it would require some knowledge of either ASP or PHP, of which I know nothing about.

View 1 RepliesI got a Flash Guestbook using PHP that works perfectly...The thing is that I need to load it into another .swf ; but when I do it, the Guestbook doesn't do anything.It seems to me that by loading it into another swf, the Guestbook can no longer send or receive data to and from the PHP script.

How to send a mail to me when anyone adds a message on the guestbook ?I guess it is possible as whenever one xml object is send to the php file for processing by sendAndLoad function , it can also send a mail via php .....the code that sends xml data to php in this actionscript is
Code:
myXML.sendAndLoad("processXML.php", receiverXML);
can some code be added in the processXML.php which also sends a mail vial "mail" function in php ?

View 7 RepliesI have made a simple site with some simple transitions. each button on my site loads in an external swf file into an empty movie clip.
One of these swf files is a guestbook which works when i dont load it into the empty clip and test it alone on my server (sending in the guestbook swf, html, php, and empty text file)
Now then, when i load in the guestbook into the main swf, nothing happens on the server when I test it - I am lost and now come to you people for advice. It obviously has something to do with being loaded into an empty movie clip that is causing conflict.
I have created a dynamic text box and attached the default UIscroll bar from the components library in CS4.I have attached it to the text box and it works ok.When i drop it onto my page it appears white (my background is black). When I preview it does what it is supposed to. So far so good. NO! The default Scroll bar is hideous. I want to change it but I cannot figure out how to.
I have tried double clicking it but it cannot be edited. Is this an action Script thing? I have recreated it in another flash document with the text box and the scroll bar which I have attached called 'scroller with text'.I have double cliked the scroll bar and changed it to how I want it and it works, i know how to but its not in my main flash file i am working from. I have saved the one Ire-created one as a SWF and tried importing it but it has errors on it. see attached 'MAIN_Menupage'.I have been through all the tutorials on this website and cannot get this to work.
i'm trying to write some code to create an instance of a movie clip and set it's coordinates to ones from a file. the problem i am having is that every time it does it i want it to load the next coordinates in a list. how would i do that?
this is my code:
loadVariables("data.txt", "");
then on a button:
Actionscript Code:
onClipEvent (load) { i = 0; sett = 1 cur = 300}onClipEvent (enterFrame) { function port():Void { this.attachMovie("note","note"+i++,this.getNextHighestDepth(),

in my text file is: xx1=40&yy1=80&xx2=43&yy2=89 etc.
I don't know where to find it, I purchased a file that is a Flip Book done in AS3, the author of the book made a table of contents that requires me to type the pages and page numbers in the xml and then it creates the buttons, I want to be able to create my own buttons in order to create my own table of contents,
View 4 RepliesThis is not about applying an external stylesheet to texts inside flash, but the opposite: modifying an external CSS. I'll keep it brief: An html has a div (id='wrap') with content in it, the style of that id is loaded from an external CSS. The html also has a swf in another div (id='whatever'). I want to switch the visibility of id='wrap', from 'hidden' to 'visible', with the click of a button of my swf.

how to append the disabledRanges property of the dateChooser Component, kinda like this(assuming cal as the instance name):
dRange = [{rangeStart: new Date(2009,0,0), rangeEnd: new Date(2009,0,20)}];
cal.disabledRange = dRange; // will disable all up to the 20th
I want to turn dRange into:
dRange = [{rangeStart: new Date(2009,0,0), rangeEnd: new Date(2009,0,20)},{rangeStart: new Date(2009,0,22), rangeEnd: new Date(2009,0,31)}];
cal.disabledRange = dRange; // will disable all up to the 20th then all the dates past the 21st effecively disabling all dates but the 21st
something like:
dRange += [{my new dates...}];
...But that doesn't work

modify an existing flash shopping cart I purchased from Flashden.net (link). The cart uses two XML files to pull in data and to configure most of the data settings. I need help with one thing: I'm using this cart on a sunglasses shopping site and I need to configure the optional sunglasses to be clickable so they can be added to the cart. I know I need to modify both the flash .fla and the xml file so I've included the code for both below. Here's a link to the website I'm trying to re-configure. The section I need to edit has the optional sunglasses on the right-hand side of the main photo.Here's the first xml file that does some of the basic settings. This file is called settings.xml.[code]I made an attachment for the actionscript code called actionscript.txt that needs to be modified. All I need to do is figure out a way to make the optional images clickable so they can be added to the main cart. We can also just create a button that says add to cart next to each sunglass option. Either way works for me. I'm even willing to compensate the person who can help me come up with a workable solution.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to build a schedule with Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0 for an Internet radio station. I'd like to have a .swf that I can open, drag and drop a text symbol from the Library (ideally, for design reasons), and then change the color of the text with Actionscript when the user presses a button.
I can change the color of text if I create it with Actionscript, of course, but I'm not sure how to use Actionscript to change the color of text I've created in the Flash GUI. I can't pass a TextField to a symbol and expect Flash to know what to do with it, can I?
I have twenty objects in the stage, everyone is name: unit1... unit2... and so on to 20.I wanted to use a loop to modify for example, the alpha values of everyone at the same time. So I used a name like unit1, unit2 so I thougt I could use a loop to assign the alpha values...
"unit" + i.alpha = 0;
i need to change the animated logo's color in the left from green to blue.I have never done anything in flash before, this is the first time i've used the program, but so far i was able to figure out how to change the navigation and bar color and the text. but i can't seem to see where the color of this logo is coming from....
In screentshot 1 you can see that the Logo_Anim is made up of the Logo_1 - Logo_5 movie clips.Each of the logo_# clips is a piece of the logo.I'm not sure if something in the Logo_Anim is controlling the change in color of each piece of the logo, but it doesn't seem like the indiviual logo_#'s have any kind of setting..
Does anyone know a way to dinamically modify a flash document's size at runtime?I have a drop down of which the item can have any number of pixels in height so it might be taller than the flash document.

View 4 RepliesI have built a simple flex application (using BlazeDS) which displays "Person" details by invoking a java service using flex remoting. So, my Person class looks something like this:
class Person {
public int age;
public String name;
}
As a java developer, here is my understanding: When I run the front flex app in my webapp, an RPC call is executed and BlazeDS does the hard work of invoking the right method, obtaining the result as an object, converting the object to AMF format (serialization). And, then the web/app server sends back this response to the requesting app over http. The flex app now does the task of deserializing the object received in AMF format and somehow make use of it.
Here is my question: I would like to modify the response before it reaches the Flex application by modifying the attributes of the person object. I have a Filter in place to do this. However, I am not sure as to how I would deserialize the AMF stream, modfiy the object, serialize the object back into the stream / reconstruct the stream somehow.
Is there a way to doing this? Where should I start? If the question was too confusing, here is a shorter version: How do I modify the response stream of content type AMF-X, before it reaches a flex app using a java filter?
