  • 1. Problems with buttons
    I've been designing my first website for the past few weeks and have worked out most of the kinks in actionscript and animation. My last major question is in regards to the many buttons I have needed to complete this project and the build-up of them in all of my movie clips. So far my buttons have only been functional if the button instances in any of my movie clips are created and sustained throuoghout the particular movie file (I have to make them transparent on certain frames where I do not want them to be seen). What has begun to happen is there is a build-up of invisible buttons (with alpha 0%) that can be accidentally clicked while browsing the website. I was curious if there was any way to "hide" objects (not make invisible) on particular frames, making them functional by keeping the instance intact, but preventing browers from accidentally clicking them. If this is not feasible, could anyone explain a method of preserving my buttons in one frame (say frame 5 in a clip) and not being obligated to extend the button throughout every clip. I'm sure there is a simple solution, I'm just not familiar with it. Thank you, Sam
  • 2. Reverse Button Movie
    I have a button with a movie clip in the over state. The movie clip looks like a camera panning up over an image of a person. so when you mouse over, you start at the bottom of his necktie and move upward toward his face. When you mouse off, I want the exact opposite to happen. If you are just at the bottom of his neck, I want you to pan down from the bottom of his neck to the beginning of the over state movie. So it's basically reversing however much of the 'over' movie has played at the point where you mouse off. I'm not that advanced as far as actionscript goes...is there a (fairly) simple way to do this?
  • 3. What is the BEST Screen Resolution?
    IN FLASH MX, I set my screen resolution to 760px (width) x 560px (height). My monitor screen resolution is 1152x864. It looks fine at that monitor screen resolution. HOWEVER, the website looks h-u-g-e on monitor screen resolution 1024x768. It looks elongated on monitor screen resolution 1280x768. So I am wondering what is the best screen resolution to set when in Flash? that will look good on all monitor screen resolutions? XXXX@XXXXX.COM

I put the code for the linking of buttons to the frame label one after the other in the actions pane for all 7 buttons, on a frame that spans the frames used in the main timeline AND the movieclip timeline. . is that right? can i do this? (one after the other) It still isnt working. art_btn.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndPlay("artFrame"); } photo_btn.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndPlay("photoFrame"); } Im not sure what im doing wrong. =( can someone help me? I would really appreciate it!!

how did you do to create an action just like "go to frame X"? for instances, how can I create a textinput area and when the user writes a number he will go to that frame number?

1.Microsoft Word App flashes by during automated merge

Hi all,

This is a minor but annoying problem. I was wondering if anyone else
has seen it.  I have created a vb.net program to perform MSWord
mailmerges.  The final merged product then appears in the program via
an axWebBrowser.  It took a while but the program itself now works
great.

The problem is that at the point of the actual merge, Microsoft word
becomes visible for a second, even though I have my
Word.Application.visible property set to false.  For a split second,
you can see the letter template, then the open datsource doc, before
the merge finishes and the Word.activedocument and the Word.Application
are closed.

This does not seem to effect performance, but it's irritating. It ruins
the appearance of an otherwise smooth program run. Does anyone know how
to keep the application invisible?

2.automate the flash archive process

Hi Solaris Gurus,

I need help to automate the flash archive process. Basically I want to
create a flash archive on a mirrored system running Solaris 8.

I have created the flash archive on a non-mirrored system and
jumpstarted a client successfully with the flash archive. But when I
created the flash archive on mirrored disks, jumostart didn't work. I
belive this can be done on solaris 9.

Now I need to automate the flash archive process on a non-mirrored
system.

I have to do the following:

1. metadetach all the mirrors. (eg: metadetach d0 d20)
2. metaroor d0
3. cp /etc/vfstab /etc/vfstab.org
4. Replace /dev/md/dsk/d(1,3,4) with /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s(1,3,4) in
/etc/vfstab file
5. Replace /dev/md/rdsk/d(1,3,4) with /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s(1,3,4)
6. init 6
7. metaclear all the metadevices.
8. Delete state database replicas (eg: metadb -f -d c0t0d0s7 c0t1d0s7)
9. init s
10. flarcreate -n hostname-archive -x /export/flash -R / -a Raj
/export/flash/flash_archive
11. init 6
12. metadb -f -a -c 3 c0t0d0s7 c0t1d0s7
13. metainit -f -a (we use /etc/lvm/md.tab)
14. cp /etc/vfstab.org /etc/vfstab
15. metaroot d0
16. dumpadm /dev/md/dsk/d1
17. init 6
18. metattach all the metadevices.

Can someone help me with the script? I know how to do it manually, but
I am not good in scripting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Rajesh.
