Flash Matrix Code Tutorial Help Needed

Please could someone help me out with this Flash problem, I would really appreciate it.
I have followed the guide at this link to create a matrix code effect. The matrix code font file is available to download from this site also (mCode15).
Once I get this file up and running and understand how it works, I'm going to tweak it somewhat to suit my needs.
I am, however, experiencing some problems getting it to work as described in the tutorial. I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when the flash movie file runs, only the glyph symbol that I used to create the_one and one_pod movie symbols is displayed in the code that scrolls down screen. I have embedded the font the way it describes and even added it to the library and set it to export for actionscript using the linkage option. But the matrix code that rains down is still only one symbol which never changes.
Please please help me out with this as I'm slowly losing my sanity trying to figure it out. I am using Flash CS3 on a PC to do this and the file is set up up as action script 2.0.

hi
try asking in the AS2 forum; they will be better placed to help you - and post some of your code too rather than a link (you cant expect us to do all the work for you )

When you dynamically add content, it has no home on the timeline unless you anchor it in one. If you were to manually place an empty movieclip on the timeline in the lowest layer and then and then create the matrix stuff in there then you would have it living in the background.
Try creating such a movieclip, located in the upper left corner of the stage and assign it an instance name of "theMatrix"
Then remove the following lines from your existing code (which is otherwise creating that mc dynamically)...
// Create an empty Movieclip to hold the Matrix.theMatrix = createEmptyMovieClip('MatrixCode',1);
That should be all you need to do.

Flash CS4 Quiz Template: Help Needed

My organization uses the Flash CS4 quiz template that is included within the eLearning suite. Everything works great. The quiz loads on the LMS, it gives learners' their scores, etc. The issue we're having is after the score is recorded within the LMS.
If a user fails the quiz, the LMS marks the quiz as 'Completed/Failed'. The LMS (Inquisic EX), then, moves the failed quiz into the 'Completed Courses' tab. I understand why it does this because the 'Completed' mark given refers to the learner having gone through all of the pages within the quiz; however, the learner failed the quiz. If the learner goes back into the quiz and passes it the second time around, the LMS continues to state 'Completed/Failed'.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Are there SCORM settings we ought to change within the source code provided by Adobe?
I really appreciate your help!!

I think this is what I'm having trouble with, did you figure
it out? I need help making checkbox text have multiple
lines.

Href and target tags tutorial/help needed for use with an existing website

I have a website, (built through iweb), and an intro movie. I have spent a lot of time trying to understand the proper tags and how to use them without much luck. My goal is to have the homepage associated with my domain name load in a browser while at the same time have my intro movie open in a Quicktime Player window, play, and automatically close leaving the webpage visible. If anyone can point me to a tutorial or walk my through the process I would appreciate it.

Poster movie style. Requires QuickTime Pro:
Create an image (or a frame from your movie). This becomes the "poster". You could add text to it (Click to Play) in a graphic editor app to help your viewers or add text to the page under the image with these instructions.
Save this new file as poster.mov
It becomes the src="poster.mov" (source tag in the html code). Set its dimensions to fit your page layout.
Your "intro movie" will be your href="intro.mov" (href tag in the html code).
Open it with QuickTime Pro and then open the Movie Properties window. Click on the Presentation tab to see the choices. Automatically close option will close the QuickTime window. Automatically quit option will quit the running QuickTime Player app. This would be a better option as the browser should come back as the "front" application. You also want to check "auto play".
Use Save As (preserves fast start feature) and name this file intro.mov
In your html code for the QuickTime files you need to set target="quicktimeplayer" (this launches the QuickTime Player app instead of using the browser plug-in). It may also help if you use the full URL to both files in each tag (http://myserver.com/foldername/intro.mov).
One of mine as an example. It uses automatically close window:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/mycareerfuture/
View the source code to see the tag structure. My page uses javascript instead of the older object/embed tag code.

Code troubleshooting help needed - buttons spawning 2 apps

Hi,
I'm trying to do a question out of my Java text book and I'm a little confused why its not working correctly. There's 2 buttons on a frame that when clicked start the app behind them... one is a basic calculator, the other is a little applet to compute a mortgage. The second button is not reacting like the first does AND the Mortgage applet behind that button does not start-up properly... the box opens but nothing in the frame is visible.
The first thing I need to be explained is that in the Mortgage section why I can't change it into an application from an applet without receiving an error. On my separate Mortgage applet (standalone) I switched it from applet to application by adding the following:
public static void main(String[] args) {
     //create a frame
     JFrame frame = new JFrame (
          "Running a program as applet and frame");
     //create an instance of MortgageApplet
     MortgageApplet applet = new MortgageApplet();
     //add the applet instance to the frame
     frame.getContentPane().add(applet, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     //invoke init and start
     applet.init();
     applet.start();
     //display the frame
     frame.setSize(300, 300);
     frame.setVisible(true);
     }But when I add that code to this exercise with the 2 buttons kicking the 2 sub apps off I get the following error...
Exercise12_17.java:130: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method start ()
location: class MortgageApplet
        applet.start();So because of that I have that section of the code commented out below.... I copied that straight from my book and[b] it works when its standalone but not within this bigger app I'll paste below.
The second thing I need explained is why does the second button not behave like the first button...
If you click the first button it starts the calculator and then shows a "hide calculator" button to hide the calculator application. And if you click that hide button you return to the original menu with the 2 buttons (Calc & Mortgage) to choose from. But if you click the Mortgage button it brings up the Mortgage app (which currently is not working correctly in here) BUT does not show me the "Hide Mortgage" button... it jumps to the "Simple Calculator" button.
My assumption is it has something to do with the If-Else if actionPerformed argument I have in the code below but I'm not entirely sure.
Does anyone have answers to me 2 questions??...
(1) do I need to change the mortgage applet to application & why am I getting that error when trying to do so? ...... and ......
(2) why does my 2nd button on the main menu not get the "hide mortgage" button after starting the mortgage app & how would I correct it? (I assume that if I solve problem #1 it'll spawn the app correctly in part 2 when it starts).
Any help would be greatly appreciated... thank you. :-)

Okay here is the fixed code... I commented the changes...
basically I changed public void init() to public MortgageApplet() so that the section is a contructor not a method. ( since this class no longer extends Applet, public void init() becomes a method called "init" which has no relation to Applets' init method...)
Then I move most of the variable declarations in the contructor ( formally the init() method ) and declared them as class variables... then initialized them in the construtor "MortgageApplet()"
And now the second button works and you can see the MortgageApplet with textfields and buttons...

Moving data from a subVI to mainVI - example code provided, help needed!

Hi all, I've written a set of VIs that are a part of a larger program, but I've come to a bit of a stumbling point and would appreciate some assistance. The VI's are attached. The mainVI calls subVI with a simple conditional. When the subVI runs, it is used to generate an array that will be passed back to mainVI for use elsewhere in the program.
There are several things that I would like to have happen:
I want the 'load params' button in subVI to pass the array back to mainVI without having to close the subVI.
Is it possible to still use shift registers and do this somehow??
I want the subVI to be able to remain open in the background if the user chooses, or to be able to be shut if the user chooses.
I can't figure out how to do this.
I'm open to suggestions, even if they include radically altering the way that the program is written.
thanks,

Hi Dennis,
Dennis Knutson wrote:
the attachment still didn't make it but there are a couple of ways you can do it without closing the subVI and using the wire. You can write to a global vairable in the subVI and read it in the main. You can create a control reference of an indicator of the main VI, wire this to the subVI and write to the reference's value property. You can start the subVI with an invoke node (run method) and then in the main, read the subVI's indicators with a Get Control Value (Variant) method. See this very recent post on the same subject for examples of the first two techniques.
1) I don't want to use globals.
2) If I use control references, then there's really no need to use the shift registers as I have them set up... correct? Basically I'll just be writing to an indicator that's in the mainVI. I can then use that information however I please. The problem I have with this is that I was really trying to avoid using references. I think that they're quite difficult to follow when your trying to diagnose a problem or if you need to write very clean code that will be easy for someone else to read.
3) the 'get control value' sounds interesting, but I want subVI to control when the data is passed to mainVI, so I don't think this is the proper approach. Am I incorrect?
also -- I've gone through the other threads on this topic many times before I posted this. Some of them are helpful, some of them are less so. Anyway, I couldn't not find an answer to the question about being able to maintiain the use of shift registers for this type of approach??

Navigation Tutorial Help Needed

I am following an online tutorial to build a horizontal menu bar in AS3.
In the tut, they are using MovieClips, but for what I want to achieve I am using buttons.
Here is their code.
function navOverF(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow];
navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as MovieClip, 1);
dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
trace("We are rolling over..." + navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
I have worked out that the issue is in line three "(event.target as MovieClip, 1)", but how do I change this code to work with buttons?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks for the help guys.
I received a solution from another forum, and that was replacing MovieClip with DisplayObject.
Thanks again.

Flash text editing serious help needed

I have a .swf flash movie file. After converting it to .fla,
I would like to know how to edit the text on the .fla files when
each letter of the text seems to be a fireworks picture file.
Please help as it is of utmost urgence.
Thanks.

Please learn how to format code you post, it makes it much easier to read. Use the buttons and instruction link above the typing area.
import java.io.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Mortgage2
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws IOException
        String ammount;
        String intrest;
        String term;
        int dollars;
        int rate;
        int years;
        double payment;
        DecimalFormat decimalPlaces = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
        //this function is for rounding the decimal places in the answer.
        BufferedReader myIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("\t\t\tMortgage Calculator");
        System.out.println("\t\t\tBy: Sheldon Cowart\n\n");
        System.out.print("\t\t\tEnter the loan ammount ");
        ammount = myIn.readLine();
        dollars = Integer.parseInt(ammount);
        System.out.print("\t\t\tEnter the interest rate ");
        intrest = myIn.readLine();
        rate = Integer.parseInt(intrest);
        System.out.print("\t\t\tEnter the number of years ");
        term = myIn.readLine();
        years = Integer.parseInt(term);
        payment = (dollars * (((rate / 100) / 12) / (1 - Math.pow((1 + ((rate / 100) / 12)), -(years * 12)))));
        //this is where the math is done for the payment.
        System.out.println("\t\t\tThe monthly payment is " + payment);
        System.out.println("\n\n");

Flash project audio button help needed

Hi,
I am just learning Actionscript 3 and trying to create buttons that turn a previous sound off before they turn a new one on. Also I want a button on the front that turns all sound off if it is pressed. I have attached my files in a zip folder.
The problem is all of my buttons which are inside movieclips just control the one sound. I have a couple more to do. I understand I will need an if statement but somehow I have to control all sounds and I don't quite get it.
I would really love someone to point me in the right direction. I cannot find a tutorial anywhere and am going crazy.
I look forward to someones reply,
Jan

I've just upgraded to Logic 7.2 as I bought an intel Mac. However, for some reason the audio plays through the macs built in speaker. I've got into preferences>audio>drivers and changed the driver to 'built in line input' but it's still playing through the speaker itself. I never had this problem while i was running previous versions on my old mac
When i boot up logic it does say something that i've never seen before which could be the cause...' Project Manager database on disk has got wrong version. Rescanning required'.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Try updating to 7.2.3
As far as the Manager... try doing a new expanded scan, overnight. This will update the database.
As far as the built in driver... you are selecting an INPUT.... and you expect it to change the OUTPUT??? Again, you are selecting an INPUT, while expecting the OUTPUT to change.
The Built in drivers have only 1 output available, And in your case, that is working as expected. When you want to RECORD via either input, that is when you change the driver. You should have two choices : Mic, and Line.

There has been an epidemic of 2131 burning errors associated with the TSST TS-L632* drive. And some manufactures have offered a firmware update or drive swap to fix the problem.
I have not seen this issue come up your your model of drive although it is the same manufacturer.
It would be worth checking your computer manufacturer's download site to see if there is a firmware update available for your drive.
Otherwise I don't think I can help apart from contacting your computer supplier.
Maybe someone else has some ideas.

I have updated my CS4, Ppro to 4.2.1. The problem still remains. Would it have anything to do with my project setting? I don't have much knowledge to setting one up. The difference between the AVC projects and etc?
EDIT : I took the problem to my lecturer, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but his "magic touch" click on the preview panel (Main composition) has made the video show up! But even after render, it won't play. But scrubbing along frames is now fixed. Any idea what's causing the no-preview-playback?
