I need to build a variable speed horizontal scrolling bar that when the image is click produces a result from a database.
[URL]
However they are using Javascript I believe and I need to run PHP anf flash together.
I would like to build a dynamic webdatabase.(One form that updates text and bit-maps.)I must use Microsoft ACCESS or mySQL.Is it possible and is there any video tutorials out there?I heard a lot of "tissling and tassling" that flash is not
well suited to work with databases.
Im trying to use dynamic SQL tables on my PHP server so I need to pass the table name to the PHP script. I don't understand why the Data Management system that sets up CRUD won't allow this extra parameter. It says it can only have one input: item. I can get all records, but when I try to create, update, or delete I get an error.
Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?
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?
I'm currently learning Flash (CS4, AS3) and am creating a game. I have currently 1 flv file with 4 scenes, I then move from left to right and then to scene 2 and go from left to right. This is the game where items pop up that need to be clicked on and you get points.
Is there any way I can combine these onto 1 scene? Flash only allows you to have a maximum of 2880px wide.The reason for this is the transition between the scenes is RUBBISH and that my AS is not working correctly in between scenes (it loses values).
How can you set the XML connector's URL to a variable?
I have a variable called "thisURL" and an XML Connector called "myXMLConnector"
There is a combo-box by the name "cbJobs" and it gets its value from the XML file named "data.xml".. I want to store the value transferred from this XML file into a variable.. so basically someone told me to use the code
on (change) {
_root.subject = this.getValue();
}
the only problem with this code is that it gets activated only after I "change" the value in combobox by pulling it down.. I want to use this value obtained from _root.subject as a subject in the script
getURL("mailto:abc@abc.com?subject="+_root.subject);
I'm trying to access RootNode in the code from anywhere inthe timeline. I assigned a value in the loadFile function but whenI try to access it from outside this function I get "undefined".How can I have this easily accessible from anywhere in the code? Iknow _global.RootNode will not work for XMLnode types.
View 1 Repliesaccording to a Flash MX book I'm using, the following should work (their own example):

I need to hold a couple of variables in an outside file that can be incremented by user activity -- not just during one interaction with the swf, but with every one.I have no problems with using loadVars and I get the loadandsend process; it is just that I have
no background in cgi or asp for holding the variable and being able to update it.I know I cannot write to a txt file -- that is what I have been using thus far with loadVars for importing values, but this will not help me here. I know it should be a fairly simple script -- I also know I ought to pick up php, but for the moment -- until a greater amount of time comes my way -- I turn to you.
this liveDoc covers getting a url variable into flash:http:/[url]....you can pass data to a flash movie by doing the following:[url]....this will create a variable: _level0. variablename with the data: thisisthedata.so far so good.you can then embed this in the published html doc by including your data string in the object/embed tags.like so:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0"[code].....
not to bad, so now your html is loading the swf with the url variable. the problem is this data is hard coded into the html.now for the question. how do i get the html to pass the url variable it receives onto the flash?
I know how to pass vars from php to flash and from flash to a "new" php page but here is my question.
I have a php page (page1.php) with some HTML and a php variable called $number. page1.php also has an embedded test.swf movie. While working with the test.swf movie, I want to send data back to the $number var on the page1.php without reloading the page1.php because then it would reload the test.swf movie.
I have been able to use javascript to change background colors on page1.php from within the test.swf movie but cannot figure out how to set a php variable from within the test.swf movie.
For the life of me, I've tried everything: I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers' books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST. $HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error.
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)
My goal with this simple app is to prototype being able to pass a variable from flash to a variable in php.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in flash_to_SQL.php on line 5

I need to parse and display the value for variable VALUE in xml to the screen but read from the file continuously instead of
once. The XML file is being created dynamically so its getting larger but flash only displays first value for variabel VALUE.
I have the following code in place to move a variable from my Flash app to an XML file for storage [code] how do I go about getting my VoucherNo variable from.Flash to replace the value in the GoodVoucher field in my XML file?
View 3 Repliesis there anyway to change a songs playback speed depending on a speed variable. heres the kicker tho im limited to using only as2.
View 2 RepliesI am following an online tutorial to build a horizontal menu bar in AS3. In the tut, they are using MovieClips, but for what I want to achieve I am using buttons.
Here is their code.
Select allfunction navOverF(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow];
navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as MovieClip, 1);
dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
trace("We are rolling over..." + navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
}
I have worked out that the issue is in line three "(event.target as MovieClip, 1)", but how do I change this code to work with buttons?
I need to do an endless horizontal scroll of elements within a parent MovieClip.No matter what ever method I try, an element of 'drift' occurs and eventually the elements start to overlap.I've tried using relative recursive tweening for each element according but this method seems prone to quite a bit of error after repeated starts and stops.
//CODE START
function doScroll():void {
TweenLite.to(this, .25, {x:"20", ease:Linear.easeNone,onUpdate:checkPos,onComplete:doScroll});
}
//CODE END
I've reverted to doing absolute tweens to a predefined position using a contant speed. This seems to be more accurate but still some 'drift' occurs.
//CODE START
//_dest is predefined
var speed:Number = 500;
var dist:Number = this.x - _dest;

I am using a horizontal thumb scroller which i ahd acuired from the internet. the scroller works fine but the issue is, the scroll speed is directly related to teh thumbnails present.When i am having 10-20 thumbs the auto scroll is smooth. but when the thumbs increase to say 50+ even the slightest mouse movement cause the the thumb to scroll at rapid pace rendering the thumbnail scroller useless. Can anyone help me to modify the script so that i can reduces or control teh scroll speed. Or if tahts not possible how do i add a next prev button so taht i can take away the auto scroll and fwd/rewind the thumbs one by one or a batch at each click. I am attching the fla file for reference

This would be the code to call a movie:
var fo = new FlashObject( "Movie1_controller.swf",
"Movie1_controller.swf", "591", "480", "7", "#FFFFFF", false,
"best" );
--------------------------
Is there a way to modify that call (maybe using ASP Javascript) so you can call different movies calling the same page with different parameters?. I haven't been able to get this
working. It seems to be that the "FlashObject" call cannot have any variables on it.This is the way I'm trying it:
1. The call to the page would be: http:[url]....
2. Add javascript to get value passed:[code]....
It just doesn't work. The FlashObject.js doesn't seem to like that call.
I have a video player that is currently using XML for its video library which is all fine and dandy. Now I have some developers working on a CMS type page in PHP that is going to hopefully pass some sort of information to my player that will let it know where the video is stored on our server. Is there a way to do this without using FMS? If so does anyone have ideas where I can find the information for it.
View 2 RepliesIf you click on a client a set of images come up that move according to the x/y position of the mouse hover. This is something I'm wanting to create for my graphic design portfolio for a website, having 2 simple images that when you hover over them; dependent on the direction you move the mouse reveals more images. I have no flash skills at all and I've scoured the internet to try and find one.
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone now sample tutorial for creating horizontal text scrolling using actionscript 3 like on [url]....
View 6 Repliesbelow is a link to a super simple movie that I have of text scrolling/moving horizontally across the screen.The only issue I have is at the quality of the scroll/movement. it is inconsistently jerky, sometimes when it first starts getting on the screen and leaving the screen sometime all the time and sometimes when it leaves the screen.I have had this issue with other movies and scrolling things across the screen horizontally I had to increase the frame rate to 30 fps and extend the time line but it never really got to be a smooth scroll.
View 1 RepliesI have a client who wants a home page similar to the way this one operates: http:[url]... It contains 10 images that are on a steady horizontal scroll that repeats. The images seem to be at about 50% opacity and they increase to 100% upon rollover. The images don't need to link to different pages. The way this one works would be fine, just all leading to another gallery page that gives more info.how I can achieve this type of look thru Flash? I have done some browsing online but most tutorials I've found are more like viewers where the user has arrows to scroll forward and back. This one is different, just sort of operates on its own....like walking by and window shopping for my client's products.
View 3 Repliesi am making a horizontal scrolling website that has to be similar to my website in that it is horizontal scrolling. i know how to do that partmy problem is simple: it doesnt let me scroll past 5000 pixels. i need to place each section 1000 pixels away from each other my last page will need to be 22000 pixels. i know that it seems a lot but that is exactly what i want. why is flash limiting me to only 5000? is there a solution?

View 1 RepliesI am new to actionscript development and can't figure out where to start. I am trying to create a picture gallery in Actionscript (Flex would also do, but no Flash). Basically, it should be a horizontal list of images with captions below the picture. It should be possible to scroll through the images on a touch enabled device -> no scrollbars
I have looked into ScrollViewport put don't know how to implement a basic version in pure Actionscript.! I have included a small sketch I have seen alot of solutions with a scrollbar. But I want something like on iOS where you scroll with your finger through the images.
I'm developing my portfolio and want to add a horizontal scrolling dynamic gallery (see files). In order to achieve this I combined Lee Brimelow's tutorial on a horizontal scrolling gallery with a tutorial onhow to load images dynamically into a gallery. So far so good... It all seems to work except for the fact that the gallery has to detect the number of images in the scroller and adjust it's width accordingly (which it doesn't do yet). Also it has to make sure it doesn't scroll out of the containing MC (you'll see what I mean when you open the files; it also doesn't do that just yet).
View 1 RepliesI've got this script, as it works now the text is loaded with XML.
It animates across screen, but not quite as i wish. If you download the script: www.playart.dk/scroller.rar -> you will see the text removes itself before another text from the XML is loaded in the flash...
The way i would like it to work where it all comes in at the same line, so you can see 2 captions(nodes, text) at a time in one line...
If you dont want to download the file, the script looks like this:
//_root.p = 0;
//-----------------------
//Hent XML
function loadXML(loaded) {
