Hello everyone Has anyone ever got the message 'Publisher is closing because of low memory or because your hard disk is full' ? I'm managing a tiny network and when one user group logs in they can use publisher fine. But then on the SAME PCs, different user groups get the error message. Does...

Hi, ever since I've made web pages, I've come across sites whose images load mega fast; much faster than ordinary sites. Its as if they have some sort of engine powering them down the line. Does anyone know how they do it? I save as small gifs or jpegs but I still don't get the fast loading...

Thanks wangbar; I'll try going down that road...I did cut and paste it...thats why- was trying to keep different possible implementations separate...silly...Thanks again, silverswim.

Hi... I'm having some trouble with these bits of code... I got some help before from wangbar to sort it out when the var stored was in a class of its own. But trying to access it from another class isn't working... class Ipa{ var c : Settings; function Ipa() { } } class Settings { var...

Thanks wangbar, that's definitley right- though I also had to specify the path of the object dpp i.e. if( _level0.dpp.subtitles == false) { etc etc sure it ought to have worked with _root.dpp.subtitles but it only did work with _level0 etc so its working, and thanks so much...

Hi, I'm trying some old script to classes...I had a global boolean variable called subtitlesYes , which I want to declare as the property of an object...It has to be readable by several levels of swf's which are loaded and unloaded at different times. I put this in an as file, in the same...

Hi again...still having problems: I have to store the variable in a text file and then get it with LoadVars . I used the onLoad function and when success is true, the code tells the movie to gotoAndPlay a labelled frame on a new level. At that frame, the variable is passed into a switch...

Thanks very much oldnewbie; I'm going to load up on the first frame and use the function macromedia give which tests for success before moving into the start of the actual movie... Silverswim

Hi, I need to have a global variable which can be accessed by swf's that are loaded into various levels using loadMovieNum() I have used _global.myVar etc. If I load other movies into the Level 0, and then others on top, how could the player store the value of the global variable? Also...

Thanks very much; these both work :) silverswim

Hi oldnewbie, here is what I have done: on the first frame of the main timeline: _root.attachMovie("logoAndText","logoAndText1",100); _root.logoAndText1._x=75; _root.logoAndText1._y=380; then on a button on the stage: on(rollOver){ _root.removeMovieClip("logoAndText1"); } then there is...

Hi, I have attached a movieclip to the stage and put the code on the first frame of the root timeline. I want to remove the mc with a button, so in the actions of the button I put on(rollOver){ _root.removeMovieClip("mcName"); } then rolling out would attach the mc back again. but the mc...

Hi, thanks oldnewbie, this works now, and it works with _root.gotoAndPlay("frame_label"); ....I realize you can set any frames label on any scene in a timeline and they'll all be accessed as being on that same timeline. thanks again :)

Hi, I've put an 'exit' button in a movieclip on the root timeline, and i've given the button the script on (release){ _root.gotoAndPlay("sceneName"); } and scene is the name of the scene on the root timeline. When I test run, the cursor changes to a hand over the button which is in the...

Hi, Can someone tell me how to set movieclips so that they appear on screen with the little white circle and crosshair in the top left hand corner? I have selected the top left box in the info panel, but the white circle and crosshair still appear in the middle of my mc's...do I have to position...

thanks adam14, am off to read some more !)

Hi everyone . I am having trouble working out the rules here. I'm learning this from a book and am trying to understand it... you can make an object eg grid = {}; and give it properties eg grid.columns; grid.rows; then can you...

Thanks billwatson, that makes sense. Also realized that hadn't checked export for actionscript when I defined the mc in the first place. Its working now. :)

Hi ,can someone pls tell me why this code shows nothing on playback; I was expecting to see a vertical line of mc instances on the leftish side of the stage. Ok: theres an mc in the library called cell. then there is this code in the first frame of the root movie init(); function init(){ var...

Thanks frozenpeas, I did as you said. It didnt respond when I did test scene. But then I ran the debugger and it was fine. And the published swf is working too. But in the fla, it still doesnt show the buttons working in the test scene facility. So alls well that ends well..., but its still...
