[09:09] <mTk-Away> Wordpress?
[09:10] <aaroncamp> yes
[09:10] <mTk-Away> Guess I can't help then.
[09:11] <aaroncamp> Do you know how to pass data into a movie when it's loaded?
[09:11] <mTk-Away> From?
[09:11] <aaroncamp> From a webpage...
[09:11] <mTk-Away> What version of Flash?
[09:11] <aaroncamp> Javascript, XHTML, whatever it takes
[09:11] <aaroncamp> I have Flash MX 2004
[09:12] <mTk-Away> Can you write this data into the HTML code?
[09:12] <aaroncamp> sure
[09:13] <mTk-Away> OK, flashvars would be your #1 friend then.
[09:13] <aaroncamp> I'm writing it in now for the "movie" param...
[09:13] <mTk-Away> You know Flashvars?
[09:14] <aaroncamp> Nope...googling now though
[09:14] <mTk-Away> It's pretty darn simple, but works.
[09:14] <aaroncamp> I'm VERY new to flash. I've been a backend programmer, and done a fair b
[09:14] <mTk-Away> It doesn't even load the swf as a new file as it would if you'd use the fi
[09:15] <mTk-Away> Basically, Flashvars is a param in the Flash code in HTML that sends those
[09:15] <mTk-Away> In any case... it's very simple, and it really works! &:)
[09:17] <aaroncamp> Thanks...reading on it now. do you know if it'll work in all browsers?
[09:17] <mTk-Away> It should work.
[09:21] <hardyhero> hey i made a button and the rollOver is working but the on release not! h
[09:22] <hardyhero> i think it's not working because i only have done this on one frame... sh
[09:24] <hardyhero> i tried to and its not working again :(
[09:28] <siiii> in action script 3
[09:29] <siiii> how do you update a static text field?
[09:29] <siiii> fieldName.text = "new value"; ?
[09:31] <hardyhero> when i put the getURL action on on(rollOver) it's working correctly but w
[09:31] <xastey> name it dynamic siiii
[09:32] <xastey> mybtn.onRelease=function(){getURL("http://google.com/","_blank")}
[09:32] <siiii> thanks xastey :)
[09:36] <hardyhero> but what do i have to place on mybtn? the name of my button is Symbol 1 a
[09:37] <hardyhero> (besides on(press) works fine too, but on(release) is better imo)
[09:38] <hardyhero> or do i have to change "instance name"?
[09:39] <hardyhero> that gives no errors, but doesnt work either
[09:39] <hardyhero> do i have to place it in the layer script or the button itself script?
[10:12] <aaroncamp> Do you have to do anything special to use a variable as a component param
[10:13] <geestring> why doesnt function parseXMLData(success:Boolean):Void { work in
[10:13] <geestring> works in 2.0... is there a new way of loadin xml?

[10:15] <geestring> doesn't work, its not valid
[10:16] <SHiZNiT> :void ?
[10:17] <geestring> no clue.. ah im reading that AS 3 uses a URLloader class to load xml now

[10:38] <xastey> you embed flv or what
[10:39] <siiii> yea
[10:39] <siiii> so whats your thoughts on the question?
[10:41] <aaroncamp> 10 megs, and it preloads? That seems crazy...seems like it should stream
[10:41] <aaroncamp> But, that's just my opinion
[10:41] <siiii> ty
[10:41] <siiii> how about 5meg?
[10:44] <aaroncamp> siiii: not for me. I try to keep things small and fast loading...

[14:48] <EGreg> hey guys. I just thought of the easiest way to embed flash in al browsers in
[14:49] <EGreg> it would only need javascript in IE
[14:49] <EGreg> it would be: use the flash satay method
[14:49] <EGreg> and in ie, replace outerhtml with outerhtml of the object elemnt
[14:49] <EGreg> that's it
[14:49] <EGreg> what do you guys think?
[14:50] <Kenoshi> I don't follow, but have you heard of SWFObject?
[14:54] <EGreg> of course
[14:54] <EGreg> and swiff and ufo
[14:54] <EGreg> but this means you don't need them
[14:55] <EGreg> <object data="my.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" param="theparameters" >
[14:57] <EGreg> <!-- if [GT[IE6]] or whatever <script type="text/javascript">arr =
[14:57] <EGreg> or, to make it work in all browsers, just detach the objects from the DOM and
[15:09] <Kenoshi> is there anything wrong with them?
[15:09] <xastey> no he just want to do it in a odd way
[15:10] <Kenoshi> just checkin'
[15:45] <EGreg> who
[15:45] <EGreg> why si it an odd way
[15:46] <EGreg> you'd rather install big libraries to do something that can be done in 2 line
[15:46] <EGreg> lol
[15:49] <Kenoshi> yep
[15:50] <Kenoshi> it's trusted, and I'm sure there's a reason for the extra code.
[15:50] <Kenoshi> no offense to you, I think trying new stuff is always a good idea
[15:50] <Kenoshi> so power to you, but now that I've found something that works and works wel
[16:05] <kaizoku> Is there an easy way to convert an mp3 to an swf?
[16:06] <mrmg> kaizoku: i guess just embed it in the swf.

[16:07] <mrmg> although tgey are very different formats

[16:08] <mrmg> just use File > Import > Import to stage
[16:08] <kaizoku> I really don't know anything about flash.
[16:08] <kaizoku> So I don't have the sdk.
[16:08] <kaizoku> Is it freely available?
[16:08] <kaizoku> Or is there a trial for it?
[16:09] <mrmg> I'm off to bed but tgere must be a mikkion guides to mp3 in flash, or even ju
[16:09] <mrmg> there is trail.
[16:09] <kaizoku> Hm..I didn't really see any.
[16:09] <kaizoku> I'll look some more though.
[16:09] <kaizoku> Thanks
[16:10] <mrmg> or you can download the free flex sdk if you are a coder

[19:43] <CyberCanv> Hi all
[19:43] <CyberCanv> is anyone actually chatting in here?
[19:44] <CyberCanv> I'm having some difficulties and am looking for a little guidance
[19:44] <Prometh> ...
[19:45] <CyberCanv> I've created a 5-page form for an ecommerce application
[19:45] <CyberCanv> informaiton is broken down into various categories... order/shipto/billto
[19:45] <CyberCanv> each is on a different keyframe of the main timeline
[19:46] <CyberCanv> in order for this to work, I have to store the values of variables entere
[19:47] <CyberCanv> I've managed to get all this to work, but now I find that variables I tho
[19:47] <CyberCanv> I believe the problem comes in the use of input text fields that have bot
[19:48] <CyberCanv> (pardon me if I'm awkward in here... I haven't used MIRC for 10 years)
[19:49] <CyberCanv> pardon me... I'm using AS2
[19:51] <CyberCanv> anyone??
[19:51] <CyberCanv> !find rules
[19:58] <Nuticulus> here
[19:58] <Nuticulus> :)
[19:58] <Nuticulus> can i see the site?
[19:58] <CyberCanv> there's a testing version at www.pikaso.com/testing.htm
[19:59] <CyberCanv> visit the "Purchase/Buy Now" section
[20:00] <Nuticulus> ok, so where is the problem?
[20:01] <CyberCanv> sorry... I've just noticed that the version there is not current.. it's u
[20:01] <Nuticulus> ok, waiting
[20:05] <CyberCanv> sorry to keep you waiting... the current version is up now
[20:06] <Nuticulus> ok
[20:07] <CyberCanv> the problem area is under the "Purchase/Buy Now" section
[20:07] <Nuticulus> i see the same as before
[20:07] <CyberCanv> On that screen I introduce a series of brown buttons at the bottom which
[20:08] <CyberCanv> really? Mine hung at loading the xml file through an SSL... not important
[20:09] <CyberCanv> If you go to the #3 button (User Info) and enter values into the first 4
[20:10] <CyberCanv> then just click through to the #6 button (Summary). It's not done yet, bu
[20:10] <Nuticulus> the only one i can see is a buy it now instracctions
[20:10] <Nuticulus> and tree button down for polixes
[20:11] <CyberCanv> you have to progress through the numbered buttons... but don't have to en
[20:11] <CyberCanv> i.e. click on "Billing Info" then "Payment" then "Summary"
[20:11] <Nuticulus> ok, sec please
[20:13] <Nuticulus> all seems to be ok
[20:14] <CyberCanv> not so... the given and surname should appear on the same line. They don'
[20:14] <Nuticulus> ships to and ander that has the information i placed before
[20:15] <Nuticulus> tell me what to put in the form
[20:16] <Nuticulus> and then tell me what is going to appeal in the summary
[20:16] <Nuticulus> ok?
[20:16] <CyberCanv> If I trace the given name variable (which is Sgiven:String) I get this: &
[20:17] <CyberCanv> This is the trace result from putting "yourfirstname" into the Given Name
[20:17] <xastey> use textField.text
[20:17] <xastey> not textField.htmlText
[20:17] <Nuticulus> yeap
[20:17] <Nuticulus> xastey, he must use the first one
[20:18] <Nuticulus> sorry, the second one
[20:18] <Nuticulus> .htmlText
[20:18] <Nuticulus> CyberCanv, to me all are ok
[20:18] <CyberCanv> Ok.. but here's where I'm hurtin'....
[20:18] <Nuticulus> CyberCanv, do you have the fla?
[20:19] <Nuticulus> to see the trave output?
[20:19] <Nuticulus> *trace
[20:19] <CyberCanv> yup... but it's a doozy
[20:19] <Nuticulus> doozy means what?
[20:19] <Nuticulus> private?
[20:19] <CyberCanv> sorry.. I thought you were going to ask me to send the fla file :-)
[20:19] <Nuticulus> :P
[20:19] <CyberCanv> I have traced the output... see above
[20:20] <Nuticulus> DynamicTex.textHtml
[20:20] <Nuticulus> is like that the output text fiel?
[20:21] <CyberCanv> you have to realize that by the time I get to the "Summary" frame, there
[20:21] <Nuticulus> oh, is one movieclip?
[20:21] <CyberCanv> the value is just stored in the varialbe "Sgiven"
[20:21] <Nuticulus> ok
[20:21] <CyberCanv> yes... all one clip
[20:21] <Nuticulus> but i can see the names i gave before, only
[20:22] <Nuticulus> ok, lets do an example
[20:22] <CyberCanv> I'm with ya
[20:22] <Nuticulus> Given Name: William Scott
[20:23] <Nuticulus> sorry
[20:23] <Nuticulus> Given Name: William
[20:23] <CyberCanv> Lol... I get it...
[20:23] <Nuticulus> Surname: Scott
[20:23] <Nuticulus> Company: Plusdesigns
[20:23] <Nuticulus> Adreess: BlaBla
[20:24] <CyberCanv> that's all we need
[20:24] <Nuticulus> now in the summary i see
[20:24] <Nuticulus> William
[20:24] <Nuticulus> Scott
[20:24] <Nuticulus> Plusdesigns
[20:24] <Nuticulus> BlaBla
[20:24] <Nuticulus> :)
[20:24] <Nuticulus> and one "Ship To" On the top
[20:24] <Nuticulus> ok, so where is the problem?
[20:25] <CyberCanv> right.. but the field you are seeing is displaying a varable called shipT
[20:25] <CyberCanv> and this is the code used to create it: shipTo = Sgiven + " " + Ssurname
[20:25] <CyberCanv> If it was raw text, then the given and surname would be on the same line
[20:25] <Nuticulus> ok, so?
[20:25] <Nuticulus> ok, and where the problem is?
[20:26] <CyberCanv> and a trace of the given name yields: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P
[20:26] <Nuticulus> oh, i got it
[20:27] <CyberCanv> I can't build the desired string from the variables if they all contain f
[20:27] <Nuticulus> the input boxes are htmlField?
[20:27] <CyberCanv> checking
[20:27] <CyberCanv> nope
[20:28] <Nuticulus> in the inputBox give a var, not an instance name
[20:28] <Nuticulus> is that ok?
[20:29] <Nuticulus> first, can i ask you something?
[20:29] <CyberCanv> ask away
[20:29] <Nuticulus> ok, when i press a button in your site, the texts are loading with a prel
[20:30] <Nuticulus> so, the text is taken from an xml file?
[20:30] <CyberCanv> For some, yes. I am using dynamic loading so that my client can update co
[20:30] <CyberCanv> This is not the case for anything on the forms...
[20:30] <Nuticulus> ok, but how can you use a preloader for text?
[20:31] <CyberCanv> it is actually a preloader for the code that reads and parses the xml fil
[20:32] <Nuticulus> let me get it
[20:32] <Nuticulus> using MovieClipLoader class?
[20:33] <CyberCanv> it is actually managed by a content management system sold by FlashLoaded
[20:33] <Nuticulus> :(
[20:34] <Nuticulus> ok, so lets go back to your problem
[20:34] <Nuticulus> so, you placed some input boxes to make a form
[20:34] <Nuticulus> you put in there strings
[20:35] <Nuticulus> and the output is html?
[20:35] <Nuticulus> the trace output?
[20:35] <Nuticulus> and you want the name and the surname appeals in the first line with a sp
[20:35] <CyberCanv> the traced output does indeed seem to be formated as html... but that is
[20:36] <CyberCanv> basically, I just want to use all of the information I gathered on the fi
[20:37] <Nuticulus> why dont you make four static boxes
[20:37] <Nuticulus> and near kane four Dynamic Boxes
[20:38] <Nuticulus> and place its inputField value to the right Dynamic Fild
[20:38] <Nuticulus> and you will be ok
[20:38] <Nuticulus> or use a Dynamic text field with html format to give the outPut
[20:38] <Nuticulus> :)
[20:38] <CyberCanv> The problem there is dealing with blank space and empty lines. That's why
[20:39] <CyberCanv> This is only the tip of the iceburg too. I will next have to used the val
[20:39] <Nuticulus> give me a moment please
[20:40] <CyberCanv> btw.. I just tried removing the instance name from the Given and Surname
[20:43] <Nuticulus> :(
[20:44] <CyberCanv> I tell you... this has been a real experience in terms of things that I t
[20:44] <Nuticulus> the best you can do is to go to adobe documentation and read about the ip
[20:44] <CyberCanv> LOL
[20:44] <Nuticulus> :P
[20:45] <Nuticulus> where are you from?
[20:45] <CyberCanv> I'm in Ottawa canada
[20:45] <CyberCanv> you?
[20:45] <Nuticulus> :)
[20:45] <Nuticulus> greece
[20:45] <CyberCanv> Way Kewl!
[20:45] <Nuticulus> what means "Way Kewl"?
[20:45] <CyberCanv> So how is it that with this many people on only one responds?
[20:46] <Nuticulus> i dont know
[20:46] <CyberCanv> "Way Kewl" means it's good, interesting
[20:46] <Nuticulus> what time is there in canada?
[20:46] <CyberCanv> almost midnight
[20:46] <CyberCanv> deadline deadlines
[20:46] <Nuticulus> oh, maybe all are in clubs and dancing
[20:46] <Nuticulus> :P
[20:47] <CyberCanv> I'm three weeks late on this project already :(
[20:47] <Nuticulus> :(
[20:47] <Nuticulus> the problem is that i cant undertand the problem
[20:47] <Nuticulus> hey
[20:47] <Nuticulus> :P
[20:47] <CyberCanv> have you been in here before? Is is usually this quiet?
[20:47] <Nuticulus> i found it
[20:48] <Nuticulus> what "/n" is?
[20:48] <CyberCanv> What?! What did you find?
[20:48] <Nuticulus> :PPPP
[20:48] <Nuticulus> there is no html
[20:48] <Nuticulus> hihi
[20:48] <Nuticulus> use this name + newline + surname;
[20:48] <Nuticulus> :)
[20:49] <CyberCanv> LOL... that took some searching too
[20:49] <Nuticulus> shipTo = Sgiven + " " + Ssurname + newline + Scompany + newline + Saddres
[20:49] <Nuticulus> works?
[20:50] <CyberCanv> I don't think so.. but let me check
[20:50] <Nuticulus> look
[20:50] <Nuticulus> listen to me
[20:50] <Nuticulus> you use html in an none html field
[20:50] <Nuticulus> and it conflicts it
[20:50] <Nuticulus> is possible
[20:50] <Nuticulus> try it
[20:52] <CyberCanv> same result :-(
[20:52] <CyberCanv> ...though that is good to know for future reference
[20:52] <CyberCanv> but the traced output of the variables, even before trying to concatonate
[20:52] <Nuticulus> tell me something
[20:53] <CyberCanv> something
[20:53] <Nuticulus> :P
[20:53] <Nuticulus> where did you display the text?
[20:53] <Nuticulus> in a Dynamic Text Field?
[20:54] <\monster\> hey guys, is it possible to somehow intercept with Javascript when a swf
[20:54] <CyberCanv> Yes. New dynamic text field... and I've tried it both with and without ht
[20:55] <Nuticulus> myTextBox.text and myTextBox.textHtml?
[20:56] <CyberCanv> Hi Monster
[20:56] <Nuticulus> ok, so tell me something, click on the dynamic text field and tell me whi
[20:56] <\monster\> :)
[20:56] <Nuticulus> border, html render and selectable
[20:57] <Nuticulus> \monster\, this is possible
[20:57] <CyberCanv> what you're asking, I think, is if using Java you can "see inside" the sw
[20:57] <Nuticulus> CyberCanv, look at the text box
[20:58] <CyberCanv> Nuticulus: none of those are selected. The field has no instance name, an
[20:58] <Nuticulus> ok, you said you use only one dynamic text box?
[20:59] <Nuticulus> i think yes
[20:59] <\monster\> well i have a swf without the source, i there are some clickable location
[20:59] <CyberCanv> So far on that frame this is true
[20:59] <Nuticulus> ok, so :P
[20:59] <CyberCanv> I want to construct a single text field that contains all the information
[20:59] <Nuticulus> THE DYNAMIC TEXT MUST HAVE AN INSTANCE NAME
[20:59] <Nuticulus> NOT A VAR
[20:59] <Nuticulus> :P
[21:00] <Nuticulus> myDynamicText is the instance name for example
[21:00] <Nuticulus> then try to do this
[21:00] <Nuticulus> myDynamicText.text
[21:01] <Nuticulus> CyberCanv, works now?
[21:02] <CyberCanv> you won't believe me... so I'm posting it this way to the /testing.htm pa
[21:03] <CyberCanv> LOL.. it's posted. Check it out
[21:03] <CyberCanv> using this method you can now see all of the formatting code that exists
[21:05] <Nuticulus> ok
[21:06] <Nuticulus> make it like shipTo_txt.textHtml
[21:07] <CyberCanv> trying that.. though I think it is "htmlText" not "textHtml".. Yes?
[21:08] <CyberCanv> :P Now it displays the same as before with the given and surnames on two
[21:08] <Nuticulus> yeap
[21:08] <Nuticulus> fuck
[21:08] <CyberCanv> I'm thinking that the problem is that the html tags are already in the va
[21:08] <Nuticulus> :(
[21:09] <Nuticulus> i dont know what you have done in this
[21:09] <Nuticulus> so, i cans speak
