    Reading/writing a cookie in Flash

    I want to have my flash movie make a cookie on users' computers that logs when they last visited. I have news loaded from an external file (complete with variables for date and time). Basically, I want flash to read the cookie and compare the time the user last visited with the time of the last...

    Problem with embeded text and aliasing.

    Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking to do! There is one more thing I need help with in that flash however. If you go to my link and look at the file (it's now saved in Flash MX format so you can see it), you will probably recognize it as you helped me a great deal with it before (thanks...

    Problem with embeded text and aliasing.

    I know it may not seem like it's important, but the specific font is. None of the ones on those sites looked too much like Verdana (I did find one that had a few discrepancies that I may resort to if necessary). Is there no other way to have aliased text under a mask?

    Problem with embeded text and aliasing.

    So I have a movie with text being imported from an external file. The textbox it goes into is under a mask, and I was told I needed to therefore embed any characters I'm using in the movie. I did that and the movie works, however the text is quite unreadable due to the anti-aliasing. When I...

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    Yes! There are a few minor things I'd adjust, like how the scrolling speeds up then slows down towards the end, but I'm sure it's nothing I can't manage myself. Do you have the .fla file of that uploaded? Thanks!

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    "Rather than controlling a movie clip, you want it to contol a simple textfield?" --------- Yes, that is what it should do with text loaded from a text file. The version I gave you, however, has text already typed in, and is thus not the same; I didn't think it would make any difference to how...

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    No, what I want is the scroll bar in the flash to scroll the texbox. Currently, it is moving a movie up and down that contains a textbox. It'd be perfect if you could modify it to scroll the text properly, or at least point me in the right direction on how to go about doing it. Thanks.

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    O_o How about now?

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    That's how it was saved. The only thing I can think of that'd cause that to happen is the fact that it's set to export in Flash 6, even though it was written in 7. I don't know where the problem lies, but something in the code doesn't work when the movie is exported in 7. Anyhow, I did reupload...

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    FYI, I solved my first problem. I put a the "deactivated" images behind my up and down buttons, which then contained this code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (_parent.body.maxscroll == 1) { this._visible = false; } } so that when there's nothing to scroll, they disappear and look to be...

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    Included in the zip file is the flash as well as the text document it imports text from; that way you will see how it is supposed to work (for another working example, go to www.bobbanet.com and click enter, then when the flash loads, click updates)...

    Deactivate scroll bar?

    I'm using a custom scroll bar, as I don't like how MX's component one works. But basically, I want to be able to "deactivate" the scroll bar (probably by loading dimmed images in place of it) when the text in the text box is short enough where no scrolling is necessary. So my question is, is...

    loadMovie not retaining Action Script?

    Nevermind, I used the trace function and soon discovered an error with a global variable. It works perfectly now.

    loadMovie not retaining Action Script?

    Greetings. My movie worked fine when I imported images to use as buttons. Later, however, I decided I'd swap some of the images as the movie is being played via the loadMovie function. Here's my main function ("p", "numb", and "i" are global variables): _global.update = function() {...
