I am wondering how I could create a dropshadow on a container that would give the appearance that the container is lower than its parent. Normally the dropshadow is applied primarily to the outside of the right and lower sides. What I want to achieve is a dropshadow to be applied to the inside of the top and left sides. The idea is to give the appearance that the container is embedded into its parent.
View 1 RepliesI'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 2 RepliesI can't seem to get my guestbook to work. I used the AS found in the tutorial section for guestbook with XML.
I think it is a problem with the PHP file or the XML... how can I fix this? or test it?
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?

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.
It is simple to format text with setTextFormat. But is there any affective method for retrieving all the styling that has been made on the text? getTextFormat is known but it doesn't work on text that varies in formatting.

View 3 RepliesI have some text fields which have to be displayed with a style I have previously loaded from a CSS document. There are two choices to choose from, but both have some hitch I cannot resolve by myself:
- If I decide to embed a font and use it along with the other CSS properties, I don't know how to associate this font to the text field, because if I do this: myTextField.embedFonts = true, no text is displayed.
- If I decide not to embed fonts, so that I use the CSS font-family property, I've checked that the text is not displayed the same way in different monitors: while in my PC it is displayed smooth and sharp, in another appears kind of jagged. Moreover the animations of non-embedded fonts are not the best option (the text must have an animation which includes a mix of fading and scale).
People have asked how to make a text editor with css formatting before and the answer has always been with reference to the manual - "it can't be done".But what if you didn't accept that something can't be done?I'm thinking some sort of translation class to convert between textformat and css.Or bin the css for the moment of editing and then reapply when the user has finished.
View 3 RepliesI have an XML menu. The text is nested inside a movieclip in order to activate the hand cursor. Each menu element has two listeners that activate the following functions
When I use the following code I get all the menu elements formatted (the proper way is only the one choosen - should be formated!)
Code:
function buttonModeTrue(event: Event):void {
trace(event.target);
for (var i:uint=0; i < MC_text.numChildren; i++)
[Code]....
I get no error in the output panel- but it doesnt work the way I want to Probably is something simple for someone that is used to "loop thing"...
So this code works fine in terms of rendering and formatting text:
PHP Code:
var ss:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var H1:Object = new Object();
H1.fontSize = 24;
[Code]....
But the fonts are not embedded. If I want to reduce the textfield's alpha or rotate it or some such operation, I need to embed the fonts.
If I uncomment tf.embedFonts = true; then the text disappears.
So what's the next step? I'm familiar with various ways of embedding fonts --using fontName with a Library font, or embedding using the Flex SDK in FlashDevelop. But I don't know how to approach either of those in the case of text formatted via CSS.
I have an XML with a node formatted as follows:
<headline2 width="500"><![CDATA[<spane class='Headline'><span class='LinkTo'><a href="/us/success/collateral.aspx">your collateral<br /><span class='HeadlineSmall'>get info about it here</span></a></span></span>]]>
How would I retrieve the URL contained in the a href attribute? I have tried a number of ways: @a, @ahref, @href, as well as CDATA.@a, CDATA.@ahref, CDATA.@href and am stumped.
