I ve made this website [URL] as part of a college assignement. There is a menu navigation on the bottom of the page (portfolio, events, etc.) built from an external XML file. The fact is I get complains from some users that they cannot see the menu at all. Is this a screen thing? A flash player issue?

I have this function within my flash program that allows a person to make notes, at the moment they notes are just saved from a dynamic textfield to variable and hover around in flash output space, now I really need to get it so that when they click 'save' it exports the text from flash and saves it onto the users computer. I really don't want to use fscommand... and I know it can be done with PHP but trying to find a suitable tutorial is harder than I thought... so I would wondering if anyone could recommend a good tutorial or has done it before and can give some tips?
View 1 RepliesI made all the corrections in my code and got a working one. But what I really want to do is not adding texts into one text field. I need to get the numbers which is written by users into text boxes and then use their inputs to make some calculations. (Like 3+6=9 ). When I assign numbers to variables Ican easily make calculations but what I really want is not that. the numbers should be entered by these text boxes. I think need to change "string" to "number" but when I do this I get error message. I am planning to use the calculation result in some other part of my code. I am wondering if using "return" function useful for me to get the number (the result) of calculation?

View 5 RepliesI'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

Is flash 2.0 able to access two computers at once? I was thinking of making a system that could work like a text instant messager and the ability to use a very primitive drawing system to send other people pictures. If anyone knows if it can be done could you point me in the direction to start?
View 1 RepliesIf you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I am not very familiar with flash, in fact the only reason I used it was to add a player to my movie. I saved the skin and what I think is the movie file .swf on my desktop in the same file and it plays just fine. As soon as I try to play it on another computer the icon looks different (doesn't have the S on it anymore) and just looks like a foreign file. I am trying to get this to play asap if you could help to tell me if I'm missing a file that goes with it or something. When I hover over the two files they say Shockwave flash object.

i am trying to do somethings with matrix transform. i want some sprite to react according to mouse moment, so basically, according to mouse position, there are some statements and the result is a transform on the sprite.
something like
in onenterframe (or the handler that was set as handler of enterframe) {
temp_matrix = sprite transform
new_matrix = new Matrix();
[code]....
var2.concat with something else, then i check the value of var1, would it have changed also?, if so, is there a way to copy a matrix (but not cell by cell)?
I've created three swf-files and added to a website.Two are created the same way (AS2), by adding a quicktime-movie and exporting as a swf.
On my computer (mac) and n a PC I can view both movies, but on two other computers (mac) only one of them show up. I've tried to download quicktime player but without results.
first off, this is going to be a desktop application, not intended for the web. Ok, with that said, I need to be able to copy a file from one place in their comptuer and paste it on their desktop.

View 10 RepliesI created a Flash .exe that plays a couple FLV files, but in testing the files we've noticed some inconsistent playback on various computers and here's what we've found: On an Intel Zeon 3ghz quadcore 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is smooth and acceptable, using an average of 50% of all four cores during playback.
On a single core Windows XP PC, there is some playback hesitation using 100% of the single core during playback. On an Intel P4 3ghz with HT (dual core) 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is initially very choppy with continueing choppiness throughout to a somewhat lesser degree, using almost 100% of both cores continuously during playback.
We want to point this out because on PCs that are less than multi-core Intel Zeons, we would reasonably expect that the playback experience for the end user will be unsatisfactory. Is there anything that can be done about this to avoid this being a problem after the fact, as this client will be having many of these USBs manufactured.

I am trying to play flash video on one computer and get a flash program (on another computer) to know what content is being played, so it can respond appropriately with related content.Has anyone got ideas on the best way to achieve this?I have tried using socket connections through a Java server with a policy file request, but after receiving delivery of the policy file as text over the socket, Flash won't reconnect to talk to the server. I can't figure out how to enable policy file logging either.
