    news with a picture, how would you do it?

    I haven't checked it out in great detail, but it looks awesome, and if it'll do the job, you, my friend, are a god!

    news with a picture, how would you do it?

    I have a customer who has a news page (a page on their site that they update via an ASP script with their latest news). The records are stored in an Access database. This page currently only supports text, but they want to ability to add pictures to each record. I've done most of the work. I...

    annoying dos window in long-running application with tclkit

    I've written the bulk of an application that's supposed to run, basically permanently, in the background and do certain repetetive tasks in order to keep two shipping systems in sync (it's complicated and quite boring, so I won't go into it here). The problem is that I've just discovered the...

    How to check for a new file in a given directory?

    Thanks for your replies. I think that, provided the overhead doesn't turn out to be too horrible, I'm going to use "after" to pause the application between checks. I have to poll the directory as I've got no other way of determining if something new has arrived. Thanks again.

    How to check for a new file in a given directory?

    Thanks, I think I've come up with a routine that will do what you suggested. I presume I'll have to run it with some sort of timer, then?

    How to check for a new file in a given directory?

    The subject says it all really. I want to be able to trigger an event when a new file is discovered in a given directory. I have a VB program that's rather cumbersome and doesn't really suit the environment it's being used in that I'd like to port to tcl. It uses a timer to decide when to check...

    FTP app working perfectly in win98, but not NT unless VB is installed!

    The application has to run from a command line, without any forms. It uses some api stuff found on planetsourcecode.com. If I get chance I'll find it and post it here, but that's not what's causing the problem as it's VB itself that makes the vital difference between this program working and...

    FTP app working perfectly in win98, but not NT unless VB is installed!

    Neither approach turned up anything new, unfortunately. I thought we had avoided dependency hell by not (apparently) having any. It seems I was wrong. :(

    FTP app working perfectly in win98, but not NT unless VB is installed!

    A colleague has written a program which simply transfers a specified file to a specified location via ftp. It uses api calls to handle the ftp transfer and has no dependencies other than the vb runtimes. It works perfectly on any win98 system we've tested it on, but not on NT systems unless (and...

    receiving mail with attachments in vb - easiest way

    Ok, I knew most of that already, but I hadn't thought of using TOP to minimise the amount of unnecessary downloading/parsing. That will at least solve the problem of how to pick out the right message. I think extracting the attachment is going to have to be done by parsing the entire message...

    receiving mail with attachments in vb - easiest way

    Sorry, I don't think I made this clear, this application has to query a pop3 server _directly_. There shouldn't need to be any mail software set up on the machine at all. The idea is that this application runs completely unseen and automatically and just dumps the attachments into a directory...

    registry package with tclkit?

    I know this might seem to defeat the object of tclkit somewhat, but is it possible to use the registry package in conjunction with tclkit, so that the finished product is a starkit or starpack which is capable of accessing and manipulating the windows registry?

    receiving mail with attachments in vb - easiest way

    I'm trying to cobble together an app which will run in the background and periodically check an email account for an email from a specific address, which will contain an attachment. The idea is that it'll just save the attachment from that one email to a file where another application can pick...

    loadMovie rotates movie 90 degrees!?

    Thanks Tom, that did the trick, I was using the onClipEvent(EnterFrame) event before, which seemed to work vaguely. Your suggestion works much better.

    loadMovie rotates movie 90 degrees!?

    I'm at the end of my tether with this. I've come to the conclusion that Flash actually follows some bizarre non-logic of its own when dealing with loaded movies. In this case I'm trying to load movie into an existing movie instance based on a filename I'm drawing from a database (which is...

    streaked pictures

    I'll try fiddling around. Now that I know the limitations I should be able to work around them. Thanks!

    streaked pictures

    I've taken a couple of pictures out and the scroll looks perfect now. The only problem is that I need to have those pictures in it! :/ Can I create a second movie clip for the second half of the scroll and swap between clips at the intersection? Will that get around the problem?

    streaked pictures

    The last two pics are actually copies of the 2nd and 3rd pics. Given that the 2nd and 3rd are ok, I assume the last two are ok as well. Oldnewbie, I think I might have misunderstood you before. The movie clip that the pics are in is pretty wide, it could easily be over 3000px, could that cause...

    streaked pictures

    650 pixels. The scroll uses the entire width.

    streaked pictures

    I have a movie which is just a horizontally scrolling, wrapped sequence of images. To achieve the wrap, I've put the first three images right at the end of the sequence again, so that when the sequence loops back to the beginning it looks continuous. The problem is that the last couple of...
