Ok I have no clue how to create a flash animated file.I have
tried many many times but can not figure it out.So I was wondering
if anyone could do me a huge favor and create me a flash movie.I
will pay for it so you will be getting something in return.Here is
what I am looking for.I know it is a little intrecate but I think
it should be able to be made

What i want is it will start off with the words Cold Blooded
Killers fading into the picture.Then I want it to show a guy
looking towards a sign that says Welcome to Hell. Then another guy
standing right behind the first guy with a gun held to the first
guys head, mind you the two guys are standing in snow.I want the
second guy to shoot the first guy dead in the back of the head.
Then i want a blood splatter from the shot to go all over the words
Cold Blooded Killers causing them to drip with red blood.Then I
want it to go back to the second guy with him saying something like
Even after Hell has frozen over the CBK are stilling killing.Then
it go back to the bloddy words and have the blood freeze over into
a light blue ice color and that would be the ending.

Also if it is possible I want the 2 guys to be in counter
strike:source uniforms not stick ppl lol

This is a flash movie for my css clans website so that is why
the content is shooting.Just thought I would clarify that lol.Well
please let me know if you are interested.Thank you in advance

 

I have a Flash MX file which I created a couple of years ago.
I edited it (in MX) and when I published the .swf, the type only
displayed every other letter or so. Any one know what the problem
is and how to fix it. The type face was Avante Garde Italic, if
that matters.

 

I’m currently modifying another clients’ webpage and I’m
using the new tooltips to make them appear on this big imagemap.
Works great here:

http://www.agaimga.com/class_new.html

But that’s in its’ own webpage. Not the idea. A index.html
page is supposed to load this .html into a div container as you’ll
see here:

http://www.agaimga.com/index_new.html

Now if you rollover the state of Louisiana on both pages,
you’ll see the problem. Works by itself but not nested. Moving the
Javascript Widget out to the index_new page doesn’t change
anything. In fact, it brings up an error prompt in Firefox. So is
there is a fix for this? Can I use it this way?|||
Looks like the injected content is not ready when the widget
constructor is fired off.

You will have to set up an observer that detects when the
content is loaded and then fire off the widget constructor.

You can see how we do it with Spry Data here:

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/#widgets

Check the widgets ‘from Spry Data’.

The content needs to exist before firing off the constructor.

Hope this helps,

So it can’t be in external HTML files?|||
I am having a similar problem. I have an image that is within
a div tag. I want to treat that image as a trigger for a tooltip. I
got it to work, but the problem is that the tooltip that pops up
gets hidden by the div container that the trigger image is in.

I have tried to set the overflow of the containing DIV to
visible, and that simply does not work. I have also tried defining
a class for the tooltip popup so that the z-index is at 9999, and
that doesn’t work either. Any suggestions so that the tooltip
hovers above any and all divs?

Thanks for your time and help.

 

Hi All,

I am trying to populate a menu with a list of PDF files from
a particular folder. I’ve got this working perfectly for a local
path using the FileXtra4 xtra, but I’m stumped with getting a
folder from the web. I’ve tried the Buddy Web xtra, but it returns
an empty list when I use:

fileList = bwFileList(”
http://www.awebsite.com/stuff/”,
“*.*”, [])

Maybe I could embed a Flash Movie and have Flash pass the
list to Director?

I’m using Director and Flash MX 2004

Any help much appreciated

Thanks guys,|||

Is that supposed to be a valid URL? Have you tried it in a
browser?

And remember you don’t want to publish a valid FTP server
address if it

isn’t password-protected.

Hi,

I’m not sure about Buddy Web xtra (I’ve not used it), but you
have a couple of other options:

1. Use the excellent free and for absolutely no sane reason
depreciated MultiUSer Xtra to create a network connection with an
ftp server and use standard ftp commands to get a directory
listing. see
http://www.lingoworkshop.com/Testzone/FTP_Client_Test.php

2. Use getNetText to ask a server-script to return the list
of files. This is probably the safest but is dependent on the
server (example php script attached).

|||
Thanks Lukewig,

Unfortunately I don’t think I can run php on the remote
server. Also, my version of Flash doesn’t understand getNetText.
Maybe time for an upgrade…

Anyway, I got the Buddy Web xtra to work. The bwFileList
command has to be run with an FTP protocol, not HTTP which I was
trying before. You have to incude a username and password too,
which I hadn’t done the first time. So I’m going to buy the Buddy
Web xtra and use that.

Thanks for your time, guys, much appreciated…

I am having a problem with viewing a website that uses a
flashplayer. I can go to youtube and see the videos fine, but the
site that I need to go to, I get a white page, and nothing on it. I
have to get into this site for my job and do training at home. The
helpdesk at my company is not any help. I have downloaded, and
unistalled, and done just about everything everyone has suggested
in the other threads. Why is it that I can view some websites but
this one, that I need, I can’t view. The web address ends in a .swf
. Please, please, please help me.

 

I have the following problem:

When a user doesn’t allow cookies, the CFID and CFTOKEN are
submitted using URLs. If the URL is being published (including the
CFID and CFTOKEN) via a hyperlink on a page or by sending it with
an email for instance and someone uses that link to go to the page
he will be able to take over the identity of a previous user if
that is within the allowed session timeout (which I set at 10
minutes to lower the risk).

This will allow the other user to use the session of the
previous user to perform malicious actions using the previous
user’s credentials (which might contain passwords, credit card
details or other sensitive data). So we’re having a real (CSRF)
security issue here.

I read a lot of articles on how to prevent this, but I
haven’t found a full-proof method yet.

What I created now is custom code that runs on every page to
prevent ColdFusion taking over the session. It still happens, but
when it does the session will be deleted immediately and then start
a fresh one by:

- Deleting all parameters containing session information from
the URL.

- Destroying all data currently in the session.

- Relocating to the same URL with the remaining URL
parameters, if any.

Coldfusion will not find a session anymore (it’s destroyed)
and will create a new one.

This solved the problem I described above, but to me this
still doesn’t seem like a full-proof solution, so I was wondering
if anyone might have a better solution to this problem. I searched
all over the Internet, but could not find a better solution to this
problem than the one I created myselve.

So if anyone knows a better, more secure method I’d love to
hear it.|||
You can use session variables to maintain your critical
variables. Check out

Hi,

i’m quite new to flex and trying to customize a
richtexteditor element. now i’d like to add more fonts to the
richtexteditor, is this possible and if yes how?

at the moment i embedded the font, but how can i import it to
the rte?

quote:


[Embed(source='BOD_R.TTF', fontName='Bodoni MT',
mimeType='application/x-font', flashType='true')] private var
myFont:Class;


|||
I can’t get this to work either. This surprisingly, seems to
be a huge hole in Flex. The RTE can be assigned 1 embedded font,
through the RTE’s fontfamily attribute. But, if you utilize the
fontfamilyarray, your embedded fonts, if they are non-system fonts,
are basically ignored. I’ve search high and low, and noboday has a
fix for this. I saw a posting on the flex bug’s web site, but
someone said it was supposed to act this way… Which really throws
me for a loop, so basically its supposed to be broken then. Below
is a reference to what I’ve been able to do. I think I’m pretty
close, but of course nobody actually knows how to get multiple
(non-system) fonts to work in the RTE.

<mx:Style>

@font-face {

src:url(“AABIGFICTION.swf”);

fontFamily: “AABIGFICTION”;

}

@font-face {

src:url(“Baskerville_Old_Face.swf”);

fontFamily: “Baskerville_Old_Face”;

}

</mx:Style>

<mx:Script>

<![CDATA[

private function returnHandler():void {

RTE.fontFamilyArray = ["AABIGFICTION",
"Baskerville_Old_Face"];

}

]]>

</mx:Script>

<mx:RichTextEditor id=”RTE” title=”Title” width=”440″
height=”368″ creationComplete=”returnHandler();”>

*NOTE*

*IF you assign the fontFamily within the RTE to 1 of the
embedded non-system fonts, it will render the font.

*Below AAGBIGFICTION will show, but you will not be able to
use any other font.

****

<mx:RichTextEditor id=”RTE” title=”Title” width=”440″
fontFamily=”AABIGFICTION” height=”368″
creationComplete=”returnHandler();”>

|||
I just figured this one out. Make sure that if you embed a
font, that every font used by the movie is embedded. Because if
flex tries to use a font that is not embedded, Flex will
automatically switch to using system fonts. IT WILL IGNORE YOUR
EMBEDDED FONTS.

In my project, I was embedding 2 non-system fonts. The Rich
Text editor by default uses Verdana to display your text size,
font, all the control components that belong to the Rich Text
Editor… And since I didn’t embed Verdana, Flex ignored my
embedded fonts, and forced the movie to use Verdana. After I
embedded the system font (Verdana) everything worked as expected.

So this fixed the issue:

@font-face {

src:url(“AABIGFICTION.swf”);

fontFamily: “AABIGFICTION”;

fontName: “AABIGFICTION”;

}

@font-face {

src:url(“Baskerville_Old_Face.swf”);

fontFamily: “Baskerville_Old_Face”;

fontName: “Baskerville_Old_Face”;

}

@font-face {

src: local(Verdana);

fontFamily: “Verdana”;

fontName: “Verdana”;

}

 



I’ve been constantly having this problem with Flash MX 2004
Pro(and other Macromedia MX 2004 Products):

I can use Ctrl+Z like normal for awhile, but occasionally Z
will be switched with Y, and a bunch of other keys get switched as
well Ex: _ is now: ?

As you can imagine, this causes problems and frustration,
especially when I’m trying to undo something and it just ends up
repeating it or doesn’t do anything at all. I have a suspicion that
my keyboard is somehow entering a European mode, because one of my
characters keeps getting switched with the Es tset(ß).
However, when I am not in a Macromedia program, this doesn’t
happen. Also, if I close and restart Flash or Fireworks, it solves
the problem(until it happens again).

If someone knows what I’m talking about, please share your
wisdom.

is it a key combination that i may be pressing to activate
this, and if so, is there a key combo to deactivate it?|||
I’m having this same problem, but only in Flash CS3. I have
never had this problem before, but in CS3 sometimes the keyboard
layout just switches.

I don’t if it occurs when I use CTRL+Z. I only know it
happends all the time while programming and it’s getting quite
annoying. Just closing Flash en restarting always does the trick
and resets the keyboard layout to the one I’m using.

I thought maybe the problem was some sort of CTRL + SHIFT +
KEY shortcut for switching the keyboard input layout or language,
but then I guess it’s strange I have never had this problem before.

I would also really be interested to know if someone has a
sollution to this. After using some search engines it almost seems
that no one else has had this problem. :) Am I losing my mind? :P

 

Trying out CS3 and it’s spry menu, I hit (apart from the
expected CS3 trouble)

on a very basic problem. On this page
http://www.ochrid.dds.nl/vlinderTest.htm

,

the container is set to a width of 80% and the left sidebar
to 24%. So I

thought I could set the width of the main container to 76%,
totalling 100 % of

the container.

Not so: IE7 is very tolerant, but FF pushed the mainContent
div down. Fixing

it’s width to 60% makes it allright in FF too, but surely
this is not an

elegant solution.

What is wrong with my resoning? (Once I have figured this
out, perhaps I’ll

figure out how to stretch the width of the menubar…)

Adriana.

Is my question too stupid? I really want to know how I should
calculate the

width or whether the problem is elsewhere.

The 20px padding on #mainContent is added to width, causing
it to drop

down. Remove the padding and change the width to 75%, and it
comes back up.

When using percentage widths never use numbers that add up to
exactly

100, because rounding errors will often make your floats drop
down. Use

figures that add up to 98% or 99%.

Your #mainContent div has a 60% width, a 20px padding on both
sides, and a 1px border on the left. All these values add up, so
it’s total width is 60%+40px+1px at the moment.

When its width was set to 76%, its total width was
76%+40px+1px.

The sidebar1 div has a 24% width, so the grand total was
24%+76%+40px+1px. This was 41pixels wider than 100%.

Your #mainContent div was pushed down in Firefox simply
because there was not enough room for it.|||

No excuse needed. I appreciate both answers and explanations.
It is I who

should apologise for what was indeed a question I should have
figured out

myself.
