I am working on flash headers for a website. After I insert the swf file in DW and upload it, it looks fine in IE. However, in FF there is a gap under the header, so it doesn't look uniform.

Using Flash Pro CS4/Windows Vista: I have a table layout which breaks apart in Firefox leaving gaps between cells after inserting a SWF file.
I have inserted the file using the Insert>Media>SWF command in Dreamweaver and uploaded the SCRIPTS folder.
When I remove the SWF object, the file displays perfectly (with an empty cell where the SWF object should appear) The SWFobject is 2 pixels narrower than the containing cell (cell: 227w X 146h; SWF 225w X 146h)[URL]..
How to make a table in Flash and enable the column headers on the table to sort column on click?I have seen some tutorials with mySQL but I'd like to start with something basic. Is a sortable table possible using just Flash and AS 2.0?

View 0 RepliesDoes anyone know the theory behind using javascript to insert your SWF files into the XHTML page, rather then the ("Insert.., Media.., SWF) way.
Is this a better way of doing it? whats the difference?
the Java looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
A[
var so = new SWFObject("here.swf", "", "100%", "100%", "9", "#000000");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");

I've just used the accordion component in flash to successfully load some external data into it.For the purpose I want to use it, the accordion is a good option.However, as you keep adding more and more elements into it (and, presumably, there will eventually be lots of them in this project), the headers start to take up more and more space, up to the point that you can't see the content.So yes, I made it so that the accordion adjusts its size depending on the number of elements it needs to display each time. And that works fine.BUT... then, there's a point where the accordion is just too big for the stage... so it doesn't fit, and you can't see part of it.I thought it would be possible to insert the accordion inside a ScrollPane, but I can't make it work.
The first step would be to put the accordion component inside a new MC. But when I do that and test the movie, I get a very weird behaviour of the component. It loads the content, but at first only half of the component shows up. Then when you click some items, they don't display properly and do weird things.Still, I went forward and tried to put that MC inside a scrollPane (gave the MC a linkage name, etc.), but still the scrollPane seems to display a "blank" accordion inside it, not the one with the content.Is it possible at all to get a working accordion inside a ScrollPane? If not, can you think of any other way to make the accordion component "scrollable" so that it can have whatever size is needed, and still be usable?

View 1 RepliesI am making a Layer contains 312 Key Frames that is made of 312 gif images (each image contains a specific detail for my movie).what I have done;
-I have made a Keyframe in Frame 1 (imported Det1.gif to stage)
-then Selected Frames 2 to 312 and pressed F6 (Made 312 Key Frames that they all contains Det1.gif)
-Now I am one by one, going to different frames and cicking on Det1.gif image, and click SwapImage.
Now that I am talking to you, I have Swaped 50 of them, But still I have a long way infront of me to go before I finish those 312 SWAP images one by one.
I have a template and I need to replace the images, and then to add the big size image and to make a link between them.

I have a created an exe file using CS5 Flash, with multiple imports of swf files into the exe. However, the following problems occur:
1. While the exe file is open, I import a swf file into the main program (exe), and when I wish to close the swf file, it closes BOTH the exe file and swf file. I have made a button to close the swf file, actionscript as follows:
on (release)
{
getURL("FSCommand:quit", true);
}
Is this wrong or ok? It does close the swf, but closes the exe file as well, and at the same time, and I do not want that.
2. While the exe file is open, I import a swf file, and through the opened swf file, I import another sfw file into the existing swf, which is opened in the exe file, and it seems like the first opened swf file disappears or becomes transparent. For importing swf files, the following actionscript was used:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Les2Alpes.swf", 12);
}
I come from the Delphi school. I was really used and pleased with Delphi grids with the plus features of InfoPower. Not just me, my users loves all features that include grids. Some motives for that are: With grids they have the ability to insert detail information using only the keyboard. Input, Tab, Input, Tab, Input Tab (automatically insert new row), input, tab, etc. They were able to simply click in a row and edit it´s data. They could navigate between records using only arrow keys. In my flex apps I´ve being working arround this quite often, sometimes using a popup to insert data, sometimes using repeater instead of grid. But now I really really need some intuitive, fast way for my users to insert this data.
I am trying to use DataGrid (or AdvancedDataGrid) with inline editors and I am living a real hell to do that. For the last 3 days I am struggling, tweaking and workarrounding in order to try to mimic the features that I had with Delphi.
Having all these problems and not getting substantial material to solve them makes me think the (now obvious) fact that it is just not the way grids are intended to work in flex. My question is: what are the patterns used in flex applications to make sequencial, intuitive, fast, keyboard only insertions in a detail?
I'm making a basic photo slide show for a website I'm working on. I have the following in place and working:
- One movieclip (images_mc) preloads all of the images before the main slideshow movieclip (player_mc) begins
- player_mc contains photo_mc which is the container for the image that is currently playing...it is animated on the stage and everything is setup that I can insert the first image and play it, then insert the second image and play it again
- I have an array full of pointers to the images_mc instances of the photos (mc_array)
- I'm having problems inserting the content from images_mc into photo_mc...I've done the following:
ActionScript Code:
photo_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("placeholder_mc", photo_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(photo_mc.placeholder_mc);
photo_mc.placeholder_mc = mc_array[photoCounter];
[Code]....
The assignment on line 4 is causing the placeholder_mc to be completely rewritten, instead of duplicating the content from images_mc and inserting it into placeholder_mc. How do I duplicate the content into the placeholder? I've tried duplicateMovieClip() several times, but it always returned UNDEFINED, so maybe I'm not doing it right?
How do I insert the preloaded images properly?

View 6 RepliesI have created a Carousel with CoverFlow where images are imported from Flickr. Now I would like to import images from an XML file so I replaced the relevant code with code from a past project that consisted of designing a Papervision 3D Carousel. The problem is that my CoverFlow Carousel consisted of a Cover with Bitmap images while my Papervision 3D Carousel consists of a plane that loads/saves images through BitmapFileMaterial. Flash does not seem to accept that I insert a BitmapFileMaterial into a cover.
It gives me error 1067 (translated from German to): Implicit change of a value of type org.papervision3d.materials:BitmapFileMaterial into an unrelated type flash.displayisplayObject. In my code below I commented next to the function that causes the problem.

package {

View 0 RepliesI have a portion of a project that is similar to a MS paint program and the user can create a picture/poster, etc. When they hit the continue button, I am able to scale down the picture they created (it is in a movieclip) and store it in an array to be returned later on in the project. The only problem is that when it is returned, sometimes the textboxes that they inserted will push the last word to a new line.ex. They type = "This is my poster Yeah!"it returns = "This is my posterYeah!"I was playing with converting it to a bitmap and then displaying that, but I've never used that so I'm unsuccessful

View 7 RepliesI have a input text field on the stage and I want to insert text into that inputTF via a button. I can't use something like
Code:
add.onRelease = function(){

}
becase it replaces the user's inputed text. I want to just insert text where there "flashingType-dealy" is located (my apologies I don't know what it is called).
I think a starting point is using Selection
Code:
Selection.setFocus(inputTF);
Selection.setSelection(this.tempBegin, this.tempEnd);
