Hi Deep,

I tried using eval to treat the variable value as actionscript, but it's not working. I just used the code you posted. Is there something missing?

Thanks a million, and you're still...

I would have never thought of that. I haven't tried it yet, but I definitely will. I'll let you know how it works out.

I haven't been to this board for some time now, but I'm glad I checked it...

I use DSl for my connection speed, so I don't know how this would work for a dial-up connection. But, that is a pretty large file you have there so I would suggest trimming it as much as you can for...

I don't see anything wrong with your work. Except for the gate image on the dinosaur site. It just seemed like it should do more than just go to a dinosaur picture. It looks as if the doors are...

I sent Solo an email to see if the site is located somewhere else now. I haven't heard anything back yet, but when and if I do, I'll post it here.

A very simple method to do this would be to set a variable, we'll call it "hp" (short for "has played"), to false upon entering the movie. This should be in the first frame of the movie.

hp =...

A really kind person on the Macromedia Flash Action Script Newsgroup gave me the answer to my question. The proper syntax for this script is:

Hello,

I'm having trouble setting a variable based on a combination of strings and
another variable. I have several dynamically duplicated movie clips with
instance names of "qTotalCount_"+i. ...

Along with the previous post, I also recommend purchasing a copy of Sorensen Sqeeze. The default method that Flash MX uses to import video is great but it only compresses the video to it's average...

Overall, I liked the site. I guess my only problems are with the intro. While nicely designed, it's too long (in my opinion, others differ). I do agree with an earlier comment about there being...

My web host claims CFC files must be called from the web root of a
multihomed IIS server and that poses security issues. So, they aren't going
to allow me to use CFC files with my Flash remoting...

Paste the following code into your html page within the HEAD tag. Replace the italics with your info. I usually name the function the same as the page name.

My goodness, this much trouble to explain this. More like, not enough proof-reading after pasting into the wrong area of the message. THERE ARE NO COMMENT TAGS TO TAKE OUT as mentioned in my last...

What an idiot I am. I forgot this page would read the code. Take the comment tags out.

You closed off your <a></a> too soon. Move the </a> to the end of your lines. Or, just copy the following code and paste it into you page. It won't give you rollOvers, but your links will work.

If you are wanting to create a Flash intro for your web site, you will not need something as detailed as a Flash Remoting or Cold Fusion book. Something like the Flash MX Bible should give you a...

The best book I've found for Flash ActionScript for Flash MX is "Object-Oriented Macromedia Flash MX" by William Drol. It starts off really slow, but it does force you to learn the code. It does...
