Use the date object. Is this what you are looking for? www.kramerpup.com/clock.swf Here's the .fla... www.kramerpup.com/clock.fla Tom

Yep, my date setting was set to D/MM/YY in the regional settings. I'm new to WIN2K, no excuse, but those kinds of things are supremely frustrating! Anyway, much thanks; you just saved me hours of writing band-aid code. s-)

I just switched to Windows2000, reinstalled Office2000, and now my date fields in tables are showing no zero placeholders. For example, instead of 09/25/97 I get 9/25/97, or instead of 04/04/99, I get 4/4/99. I checked the database (which is stored on a network) on the other Win98 machines in...

Thanks for the help. When I imported my form from the new database into the old, with the tab changes, I suddenly got access to the right-click context menus back! I have been working with my Access crippled for a while and didn't even realize it. Anyway, my problem is solved, but it makes me...

I want to add tabs to a tab control but I do not get the right-click context menu. It simply doesn't work. I can get it if I import the form into a new database, so I don't think my Access is messed up. It must be some setting or other in the Database. Anyone have a clue? I don't. TomK

Haven't done an autoinstall with anything on a cd, some users might find this intrusive. If you use the example in the tech note I mentioned, you could direct the user to a frame or open a small movie in a window that would allow them to click on a link that would run the quicktime installer...

Cross platform video is a tricky situation. I agree that Quicktime is more universal for the web, but I generally use .avi's as most of my director projects are designed for windows machines. The problem with quicktime and pc's is that it's generally not bundled with pc browsers, and on the pc...

In my experience (I am assuming you're testing on a PC here), when I have gotten the "big red X," generally the quicktime player is missing on the PC on which I'm testing. Alternatively, you might be missing a codec, though that typically happens more with .avi's. Have you tried...

Is the Flash sprite ink set to transparent? I have found that this tends to really slow Director movies down. TomK.

There are many concerns with doing a cross-platform project. The .dir files are cross-platform, but other concerns such as how the Mac versus PC displays graphics, fonts, sound formats, etc. can all come into play. I would suggest going to Macromedia first...

Are you using javascript to open the windows? or Flash's built-in function to open windows? Seems to me like you could stick a javascript function in one of the windows (either the original or the pop-up) that tests for the presence of the original. If it isn't then open a new window with the...

For really simple menus (like the ones that appear as menubars in your software apps) use the installMenu command. TomK PS: Also check out the menu command--they work hand in hand.

In my experience, the main drawback of Flash is that it doesn't handle bitmap images like Director. Director can import transparent photoshop files, do direct manipulations on graphic images, etc. while Flash can't. Flash is much better at manipulating vector artwork and slows down a lot when it...

I think you're right about bit depth being the key. That can greatly reduce the jpg sizes. However, be careful if you're working in say, 16 bit depth on your monitor and you import and save at that depth. If someone views your director movie at 24 bit or higher, the images will look crappy, even...

I think, if I understand what you want to do, i.e. pause the Director movie until the Flash file finishes, use this: on exitFrame if sprite(1).frame < sprite(1).member.frameCount then go to the frame end if end on Where sprite(1) is your imported flash .swf. If I remember...

I'm not clear on what you are rolling over. If you want to make the thing you are rolling over appear and disappear, then make it and others appear when you click it, that won't work because you lose mouse interactivity when something is invisible. You can make a dummy button, like just a...

Actually, they are embedded in Director projectors. Just import your .swf Flash file like any other element. You can set the Flash background transparent, too. Very cool--but beware that large sizes (like 800 x 600 plus) with transparency will really slow your Dir. movie. Not sure if Flash is...

Thanks. Got it. :-)

Have you tried setting the visiblility property to false and then to true on the rollover? on prepare movie sprite(number).visible = 0 end for the button: on mouseEnter me sprite(number).visible = 1 end Tom K.

davdesign, That is exactly what I'm trying to do, but I can't access your .fla file. Error message says file doesn't exist... Tom K.
