View 3 Repliesall i want to do is to enable a user to check that what they have written in an edit box is the correct answer or not
var element ("correct")
var element ("try again")
var element ("input") = "3"
if (input="3")
[Code]....
and what happens is no matter what is written in the edit box, "correct" shows up
I really need to use actionscript to edit my movie size. i have a movie with the dimensions X=30 Y=30.
now i can use _xscale and _ysacale to edit the but when i load the swf file in a HTML page with for example a width=500 and height=200. the movie is scaled as a square. because it's initial size is 30x30.
how can i use actionscript / javascript to edit the size of the movie?
I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

I have all the thumbnails in place but I wanted them to open a new HTML window in the size of the portfolio piece.

View 1 Repliesi want to make it so when the movieclip moves (arrow keys) closer to the top it gets smaller and moves slower, and when it gets to the bottom it gets bigger and moves faster.Here is a working code I have, but I need to think of something better.
Actionscript Code:
if (this._y < 700){this._xscale = 120; this._yscale = 120; _level0.speed = 3.6;}if (this._y < 650){ this._xscale = 115; this._yscale = 115 _level0.speed = 3.4;}if (this._y < 600){this._xscale = 110;this._yscale =

the only problem with this is that it is by 50's. I figure I would need a formula
We have used loadMovie to load some small SWF files on a home page we have made. The swf files are in different sizes and we need to be able to set the size. How do we do this? We hoped the problem was solved with the following code, but this code only sets the size of the variable "minRamme", the contents are still to big, resulting in only a part of the swf file being visible. Anyway the following code ignored the onRelease command, so the swf file started playing at once. How come?
knapp.onRelease = Function(); {
minRamme = this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip",0);
minRamme.loadMovie("ann kristin.swf");

The site is created and I tested it on all resolutions but some are complaining some text is too small to read easily. Is there a way to change the size of the entire flash website without having to go in and change individual font sizes and resizing all the graphics?
View 3 RepliesI am editing my website, a full flash site bought from Template Monsters and it seem there is a problem with screen resolution. When i publish the fla in flash only, it fits the screen exactly with no scroll bar but when i publish in html the flash content is bigger than screen size and menu bar stays outside the screen in the way that i have to scroll down to see menu contents and tabs.In order to make this site more user friendly I have tried to resize the screen to a smaller but seems to be not a good idea. I have also tried to use different .js and includes in order to solve the problem but still not giving the result i am looking for.
View 5 RepliesMy original movie is 800x600 and my external swf is 700x525... I'm using the following script on a keyframe... loadMovieNum("123.swf", 1); ... and under normal circumstances this would work fine... however... I need the 700x525 external swf to retain its size in the center of the 800x600 original movie... right now it's edge to edge and showing what's going on 'offstage' in the external swf! What scripting am I missing? I'm using Flash 8 on a Mac.

View 12 RepliesI am wondering the capabilities of the SWF Format. I have some text in a Flash Video, which is an email address (xyz@somewhere.com) which I would like to write a C# application to edit. I have the SWF File Format Spec and was wondering if the following is possible: If I read in the Tag (I am assuming this text is stored as a Static Text Tag, correct me if I am wrong). Once I found the correct tag for my text I then change the value in the tag and save the SWF file.
View 1 RepliesI'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
I am new to flash. I have had this flash header up on my companies website for live for over a year now[url]...
I want to be able to change the text for the different menu options. (ie. swap About Us with Products).
I am fairly computer literate, yet having a hell of time trying to figure it out in the flash editor. All of the button just say Home and they seem to be drawing from some root, but cannot figure out where that is or how to edit.
One day after I wrote a paragraph of text and saved itI am unable to edit it.a misalignment and consequently the left and right arrows are unreponsive.Also when I highlight the line of text I want to work with as soon as I place the text iconover that line and click the software creates another layer instead of remaining in the layerI've specified

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to edit a .fla file. It's actually a flash game, a dating sim game to be specific. Now, the game has dialogues where you have to press a "next button" so that the next dialogue will appear, but I've noticed that all the dialogues are gone, they're not appearing at all. It's just a blank space. At the same time, the game has dynamic texts like money, energy and name of the player but likewise it's just an empty space. I've noticed that when I exported the game as swf. The text appears but it's distorted. For example the dialogue "Where am I" would appear as "a aa ii". I've also noticed that when I opened the .fla, it says that there are fonts missing.. I dont know if that has something to do with this..
View 3 RepliesI have created a simple Flash object that presents some text; it's a rotation of testimonials. The client wants to be able to edit/add to the items. He's going to maintain the site once it's handed off through the use of Dreamweaver; I've used templates to lock down the sensitive areas, and as it's a CSS based design there are many.
Is there a way to get rotation of text without having to create the media to do it? I've tried to explain that when a page loads, it's loaded -- it's the media's job to play the pretty things. He says someone told him this would be a piece of cake in various content management softwares, but I'm convinced they meant he could edit one area of text as often as he wanted to add/change the text; not that when you loaded the page you could sit there and it would display, sequentially, N number of text bits while you sat there and watched. But I'm asking, because I'm not a genius here, and maybe there's some way to fit this bill that I'm not thinking of.
Is there a way that I can create a flash application that could write to a text file? It would make my life a lot easier if I could.

View 1 RepliesI need to make it so that my client can edit some text files that are displayed in a frilly little font with shades and all that "mainflashpage.swf" accesses to display it. I heard you can do a lot of things like this with php. I know NOTHING about php. So is there any way that I can use flash to edit a text file? I remember about using void at the end of declaring a function if your not returning data.
View 4 RepliesI'm using an open-source Flash mp3 player. In comes in two swf versions. One plays a list of songs and displays the album cover(s). The other version just plays one song. The problem is that the single-song version loads some default text that I want to change (I was able to do this in the other version via the external playlist file). I'm a Flash newbie, and when I open the fla file the player's author provides, I can't find where this default text is located. (The playlist version works fine; its default text relates to what the user will get when they click on the file titles.)
Playlist version that works OK - [URL]

I am looking for a flex component that could allow me to edit rich text with images.
Something like the RichTextEditor from flex except it allows you to add and preview images too, and which can generate the HTML code too.

View 1 RepliesProblem: I am trying to get a very simple text resize going, for my main content area in a flash website. My aim is to get a button, that on click, increases the text size of a dynamic text field.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
Can I do this with flash? Save/edit text/xml server side?
