how to go about searching for this since I don't know the terms used for it. I am trying to make an interface to use on a website that would have to pull up images and text with no preloading. Think of an online encyclopedia; you put in a word and it pulls up the object/animal/etc with a description. I am looking at needing to pull up thousands of different things; hence the no preloading.

I am creating a very simple gallery in Flash CS5 (I'm not sure which AS, possibly 3.0? how do I check this?) and everything works great in Flash when I test the movie. The gallery has six thumbnails that when clicked bring up a larger image above. However, when I import this into Dreamweaver, the thumbnails appear and have the invisible buttons but the larger image does not come up when the thumbnails are clicked on.
As I mentioned before, I have a very brief knowledge of Flash. I was wondering if this is a naming error on my part? Or if it possibly had to do with the trace statement (I'm not exactly sure of the purpose of these besides showing up in the output panel--). I have a feeling that the tutorial I was watching to create this did not provide all of the information needed, but then again, how would I know?
I've included my AS, but I wasn't sure how to attach my .fla file--I saw other people including links, but wasn't sure how that was done.

EDIT: New problem, post #5 Say I have a flash website made, and to allow for minor information changes to be easily made by someone without flash, they can simply open, edit, and reupload to the webserver a text file that contains that page's info.So, how can I have flash pull text from a file, and always do that every time it's ran (ie, not have to republish a new swf)?
View 4 RepliesI am using flash CS4, AS2 and have had a client request for something that I'm not sure is possible.
I have created a calculator that calculates the cost savings that my client offers their customers. There are many options available in the calculator and it is quite in depth. At one point there is a pull down menu where the site visitor can choose their product, then enter the amount they pay for it currently. If their product is not listed, the site visitor can choose "other" from the list.
Is it possible that when the client selects "other", the text IN the pull down component for that option could be dynamic, so that the site visitor can enter the name of their product? The product they enter does not need to be submitted anywhere, nor does it need to remain upon that visitor's next visit. It simply needs to be there for the duration of their current session, to help the client keep track of what product they are comparing.
How could I get the XML data in to a text box?[code]...
View 8 Repliespull some text (numbers) from another page and the only way (at the moment) I can think of doing it is to load the page source into a string (or another var), and then break the string down to search for the particular text.
I found a way to do something similar in PHP, but I want to run this from the local PC which doesn't (and can't) have any form of web service running.
For anyone who's interested in why ... we have about 25 odd printers (identical) that every month we collect a colour and mono page count from. Every printer is connected to the network and each one has a web-based menu. To get the page counts, it involves going through around 4-5 different pages, and this has to be done with each printer. So I thought it would be handy if the text from the page counter could be pulled onto a single page (or stage).
I am trying to pull a random string from my xml into a dynamic text field in Flash. In this example, the first text field should bring in a random fruit (Apple, Pear or Orange). Im stuck as to which way I should randomly do this. This is my code right now in my movieclip:

I'm trying to pull in dynamic text from a txt file and display in a web page. The text works great when I view the .swf, but when I place the .swf in a web page the text no longer appears. I'm using loadVariables("text.txt", ""); in my ActionScript and text.txt is located in the same directory. I have embedded the fonts and I'm using Flash CS5 and I have selected Classic Text/Dynamic Text.
View 2 RepliesI have an XML file using CDATA and trying to pull my image in. Ex:
Code:
<ingredients><![CDATA[<img src="test.jpg" width="304" height="466" align="right" />Ingredients: Water, Carrots, Celery, ....
My text field has all the ingredients it needs in order to pull this image in i.e. multiline, render as html etc.
When I compile my swf I can see that the text moves up and it looks like the image wants to be pulled in and yet it doesn't show.
Things I have tried: Variatons of the file. PNG, JPG, GIF Moved the file into the same folder as the XML file
im trying to pull attributes from my xml file for use in a dynamic text field but cant seem to get the actionscript dialed in properly. i have a php script which parses the data as attributes rather than nodes...so my actionscript must use these attributes!

View 5 RepliesI'm doing a trial of the CS5 applications and I cannot seem to find out to increase the size of the font on my user interface. I'm finding the default font size to be too small to work effectively and find the commands I need. I've tried Edit->Preferences which is where one typically finds this type of interface option; however, I do not see any way to do this. I've tried adjusting my screen resolution and screen font size and while this affects every other application on my screen, it does not affect Flash Professional.

View 7 RepliesI'm building a website where I hook people up so that they can anonymously vent to strangers. You either choose to be a listener, or a talker, and then you get catapulted into a one-on-one chat room. The reason for the app's construction is because you often can't vent to friends, because your deepest vulnerabilities can often be leveraged against you later on. (Like it or not, this is a part of human nature. Sad.)
I'm looking for some insight into how I should architect everything. I found this neat tutorial, [URL], which suggests using python & stackless + flash. Someone else suggested I should try using p2p sockets, but I don't even know where to begin to look for info on that.

I'm trying to create a pull down menu. Not one that drops down when rolled over but one that drops down when clicked and stays down until an item is selected. Once an item is selected or the menu is clicked out of it retracks again.
My strategy is to create a movie clip for the initial menu that when clicked jumps to another movie clip where ther menu is extracted and houses movie clip buttons that hightlight when rolled over and when clicked redirect to another movie clip related to the button that was selected.
is this the proper way to do this? And second: can you offer some direction for the action script?
I think that you can do this using html but if you have a PDF in your root directory will Flash be able to link to bookmarked pages in that document?
