This is really pissing me off. Please help. Reply if can help or further information. Thanks you.

If the file can't be found, you're pointing the form submission / link to the wrong place and it has nothing to do with your php coding.

Providing a link might be helpful.........

Aside from the problem of what you wrote in class, I don't know about your Italian, but your English could certainly benefit from some work. :P

To explain, "demoness" is the word you were looking for. "Demon / Daemon" are acceptible, though "daemoness," is not. However, "Daemon" is used more in junk computing phrases / descriptions / routines now than it is to describe something a-kin to evil.

If you find solution to this, please post it on the board. I attempted to have a tune fade on a particular keyframe the other day, but couldn't be arsed with seeing it through (got frustrated).

It'd be an important thing to know, seeing as processing speeds differ from spec to spec, the result being a loop finishing n number of frames before it should do on slower machines.

In dipshit.html, have an Body onLoad() event which will call a Js function that open another page (the good one) using parameters to set the window like you want it (in this case, without toolbars and scrollbar). There's probably a shorter way to do it, but I can't think of it right now. If you need help with the Js, maybe I can provide some answers.

hmmm, im not too sure how to do that, i am not very experienced at this type of thing,

i found this at flashkit,

Get URL ("javascript:newWindow('www.echo27.com/pages/HS2','newWin','height=400,widt h=600,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1')", vars=POST)

that didnt seem to work at all, maybe its the bit at the end, that vars=POST, what the hell does that men?

1/. The variables are usually used for communicating via HTTP (ie to a form or with a database), so ignore those for now.

2/. In order for the javascript in that GetURL to work, you need some javascript functions pre-defined in your html earlier on in the html (usually between the <head> tags).

3/. To load a movie (in Flash 4, you'll have to adapt this for 5), you'd use (on the main.swf file):

On Release:
Load Movie ("movie.swf", 1)
End On.

Providing you have access to a button (ie you can still see it) you'd then have to set a "back" button on the main.swf with the actions:

OnRelease:
Unload Movie(1)
End on.

Hope that helps. Sounds like it's a lot less complicated than you originally thought.....

hehe im new to flash

The previous answer demonstrates the easiest way of inserting a .swf file into your site.

The simplest code required is the <embed> tag.

The <object> tags (put simply) are there to tell older browsers / browsers incapable of setting Flash embeds aside from other types, (like sound), the exact content / parameters of the embedded object, together with what the browser should do (in more detail than the embed tag) if it can't work out what to display.

i get so tired of hearing guys say "this fine female" or "i met this female" etc. it's as if she is just tits, hips, ass, and cooch. what's up with that?

i just watched this thing about those attacks on women in Central Park, where the guys ripped off their clothes. and one of the guys they talked to said "the guys said, 'we can do anything we want to these females.'" so what is a female as opposed to a woman? i have questions!!!

you don't hear chicks sitting around going "hey look at that hot male!"

Errr.... "Female" is the correct definition for those people who have :

a:/ breasts
b:/ a womb (pretend womb (for people who have "transformed"))

News reports will always try and be as objective as they possibly can, so when they refer to a "female", they'll use scientific criteria.

Tell me about it. I'm on 56K at home, but 2Mbps DSL at work. I save the movie (re)viewing for break times whilst I'm there, cause it's less of a pain waiting a few seconds rather than "n" number of minutes, if the movie I've selected turns out to be poor.

The magic moments place is great but i can only afford up to £156 per year. Luckily its £155 per year. It sounds great. So you only pay £155 per year and you get all that stuff? Is there something else you need or is that it?

That package will cover just about everything you'll need, with the exception of secure socket layers and asp (which you'd have to pay extra for). They provide support for PHP and MySQL (and there's no size limit on the MySQL database, so you're able to go crazy with it if you like).

Remember that prices are exclusive of VAT, so you're looking at £180(ish) for that package. As I said though, they're an excellent company. The support is great (I've written to them on both New Year's Day and Christmas day over the past couple of years and had a response within 30 minutes on both occasions). Plus, in the two years I've been with them, the site's gone down maybe 3 or 4 times, for a period of about 2 or 3 minutes each time.

Lets see i paid $15/year for my domain, and hosting is $60/year.

In my experience, you get what you pay for, and in any case, being in the UK and using a US hosting solution isn't a good idea. Ideally, you need to be in the same country / state as your provider, for legal reasons (basically making sure that you're covered under the same laws as your provider). The company I mentioned charges just £6 ($9 USD) for 2 years' registration, so the UK aren't too far behind the pricing structure of the US ;)

But i kept trying, but the text always shows outside the door even if i didn't roolover the door. Can u please help me!

A button has four states: up, over, down and hit.

Up is how the button appears when the mouse isn't over it.

Over is when the mouse is over it.

Down is what the button looks like when the mouse is clicked (and held).

Hit is the area of the button that's effectively a "hot spot."

So, the text must be on a layer in the button, and another layer, which is higher than the layer with the text, should be the closed door pic.

In the "over" keyframe, the bottom layer should still have the text in it, and the layer above should have the pic of the open door, with the text revealed.

There's another way of doing this sort of thing with Movie clips and the "tell target" command, but I'm not sure whether or not you're at the point where you're ready to learn that yet.

Hope it helps, anyway.

Put simply: Draw a square or circle. Select the square or circle. Hit F8 (shortcut) or go to Modify_Create New Symbol. Give the square or circle a name and select button.

Then, right click the button and select "edit in place." In the second keyframe of the button, make it do something different. In the "hit" keyframe, insert a frame, or a keyframe with something drawn over the area of the button that needs to be clickable.

Go back to the main timeline. Double click the button, and go to actions. Choose "Go to" and fiddle with the menu on the right to get your desired frames / scenes.

You should restrain yourself from asking questions like this on the BBS before you've read some the extensive help files bundled with the program.

Napster will get you a song, but it's unlikely to return any positive matches to song loops, and not everyone's capable of extracting loops from songs. If you're capable of making your own loops, or misinterpreted the question then fine, but don't assume that someone's a prick just because they're unable to do / get what's obvious to you.

To the original poster:

(Though it pained me to do it, as I dislike Marilyn Manson), I have prepared and emailed you two loops (assuming that your email address is correct).

As far as I'm aware, "PS" means "Post-Script", "PS2" might stand for "Play Station 2", although I've seen it referred in other indistinguishable acronyms. The correct expression for an addition to a post-script remark is "PPS."

Show menu relates to the stand alone player (as many of the FS Commands do).

What you're after lays in the HTML for embedding the movie: Have a look at the publish settings (HTML tab in Flash 4, dunno about 5), there's a "playback area." Uncheck "display menu." Here's some rough code (don't ask me to explain it, just have a play around):

<OBJECT classid="blah"

Whatever you bring into Flash will appear exactly as scanned and saved, unless you tamper with it in a graphics program before hand. Remember, Flash is a vector based authoring tool, and as such only deals with vector graphic editing.

To import a file, go to file, import. Flash seems to export files when bitmaps are the pictures imported.

Ooops, that should read: "Flash seems to export files containing images more effectively (lower file sizes) when bitmaps are the pictures imported in the first place."
