View 1 RepliesI got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have a scroll pane that is linked to a movie clip with a dynamic text field. The scroll pane expands automatically based on the length of the dynamic text field. I would also like to have the dynamic text field expand automatically to fit the dynamic content from an external .txt file if there is too much text to fit in the default text field length.
Here is the code I am using to get the .txt files:

View 1 RepliesI need the use of the chars â„¢ and ® but only the latter appears. I'm using a loadVars object and an external .txt file which is loading with success, but where I need the phrase "Soo Bahk Doâ„¢ Moo Duk Kwan®," I only get "Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan®" Why doesn't "â„¢" load?
Edit: I'd like to add that I have chosen to embed all uppercase,lowercase, and punctuation marks, and I additionally added â„¢ and ® to ensure they'd appear, but, the trademark logo still does not appear.
I've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL database via AMFPHP.The text includes special characters such as accents,umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client. However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just don't seem to show up-instead I get the [] box character.
The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like this are European quote characters like ' " and " (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a browser...
I have a dynamic text instance in Flash named dynamic_txt and I want it to display information from a php file. What command allows me to do this? Here is the code:

var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
//Here is Where I want the command that will allow Dynamo_TXT to display the String // From the PHP File
};
my_lv.load("cars.php");
i have a button in a symbol, when i release the mouseclick, i want it to add the value if 1 to a dyn. txt field in another symbol... var name is "DYNTXTFIELD"
so, if i use:
var DYNTXTFIELD=DYNTXTFIELD+1;
nothing happens.
if i add the path to the variable, i get an error!
**Error** Symbol=Menu, layer=Buttons, frame=88:Line 9: Syntax error.
var _root.Symbol.DYNTXTFIELD=root.Symbol.DYNTXTFIELD+1;
why would such a simple thing be so difficut for flash to do?

I have been trying to work out for a few days how to access a dynamic text field that is within a movie clip that is within a movie clip.
highScores1>showScores
ShowScores contains 10 dynamic text fields name1, name 2 .... name 5 and scoe 1, score 2 ....score5.
I then attach the movie during runtime using:
_root.attachMovie("highScore1","HighScore1",88);
I can populate and display the scores from a web based database using a PHP script and the following in my flash code:
_root.attachMovie("highScore1","HighScore1",88);
HighScore1._x = 260;
HighScore1._y = 150;
[code]....
What I want to do is be able to access score5 within the movie clip so as to compare against the score of the current game to work out if the player has scored a top 5 score. However, I try I can not access any of the scores within the movieclip.
I've got a job for a client that includes creating a flash movie that will contain a number of thumbnails that represents links to avi movies, powerpoint presentation etc. The thumbnails need to be updated and added to on a regular basis. Is it best to call the thumbnails from an xml doc so the client can update easily?In the flash movie the thumbnails will be presented as a horizontal slideshow that needs to scroll horizintally on
mouseover, and the thumbnails will also display a caption on mouseover. Is this all possible if the images are coming from an external source such as an XML doc.
I am running CS3. I want to access and update a MS SQL database through ASP but I could not find data components to download for CS3. I found Phil Heinz's tutorial[URL] but it is for MX Pro 2004. Should I be using Flex to do this or will the Flash 8 data components work on CS3?

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine?

View 1 RepliesI have a website that is all flash. I have a main file that loads in the nav and then the nav loads in the designated .swf file for each section. So there are several sections(.swf's) with lots of text taken from a database and inserted into the swf file from
an XML file. If I click in between sections, and go back to the original section of text the formatting is lost. This is only in Internet Explorer 7- this does not happen in Firefox or on the Mac.
I have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively
(caption0,caption1,caption2).
My xml file is structured as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<captions>
<caption>Roll over this</caption>
<caption>This is the first Caption.</caption>
<caption>This is the second Caption.</caption>
</captions>
I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed. For the other two I get "level0.caption1" and "level0.caption2" instead of the text in the xml file above. How do I parse the data so that each of the variables are assigned the text in the xml file?

View 1 RepliesI have created a Flash Map that functions properly with a static XML file but when I try to load a dynamic XML generated my ColdFusion I get no results. The example can be found at: http:[url]...The one that does not work is at http:[url]....
This map should load the different states that are in the XML file but instead it does not load any of them. The two different XML files can be found at: http:[url]....and http:[url].....An interesting note: Firefox does not recognize the cfm file as a XML file but IE does. This may be based on the file extension.
The Action Script is exactly the same except that it references adifferent file. The Flash works when published for Flash Player 6 but when I try to publish for Player 8 even the
static XML does not work.
