Newby need help with pop up banner

Hei
I'm a young designer at a company. I havn't used java at all but i was assigned to make a moving banner. It has to move side by side horizontally and the other problem i'm facing is that the background has to be transparent.
I have googled for two days now and have made a very basic website (four pages), could someone please walk me trough the process. I have found a lot of code have found a lot of tutorials but can't figure out where to paste the code. I have made a website to a free isp to test my new knowledge.
-i have to make a window.open method
-make the background transparent (is this process easier in flash) ?
-make it move side-to-side
I could help out with some disaign (wallpapers, banners, logos) i'm not skilled with code soo it takes my a while to understand.
I'm ready to learn java but now i havn't got much time.
I'm learning the basics right now but my assigment is much more difficult.
Please help

It sounds like you're working with Javascript, and not Java.
Also, are you trying to make a webpage with a transparent background?
One last thing, this works pretty well for "moving banners".

Need help with pop-up

Need help with this one. All of a sudden I keep getting a
pop-up saying "cannot locate file flash.ocx". What the heck is it
and how do I get rid of it. It is QUITE annoying. Any help would be
appreciated.

I am glad to hear that changing or disabling the screensaver
seems to fix this problem for most of us. Certainly, screensavers
are pretty antiquated and pointless on the newer computers out
there, but there are still some uses. Ever since I turned mine off
on one computer and switched to an older screensaver on my oldest
computer, I have not had this problem. And, unfortunately, I think
the problem is isolated to such a small fraction of screensavers
that adobe is just going to let those distributors take care of the
problem rather than spending the time to fix whatever glitch is
affecting them. The only downside is that once you figure out the
problem, which can take time and effort, you could lose a pretty
cool screensaver. All in all, that isn't much in the long run,
certainly not enough to get adobe involved.

Need help with pop up window!

I'm working on an online graphic design portfolio and one of the pages features online animated Flash banners. The site can be viewed here...
http://truetilldeathhq.com/Skiz/main8_v7.html
I created a pop up window that displays a swf of the banner by putting this code on the View Banner link of each example of work...
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.truetilldeathhq.com/Skiz/banners/336x280DuvalCX9.html','win','height= 296,width=352,left=112,top=330,toolbar=no,resizable=no,location=no,scrollbars=no ');";getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
Two problems though. First is in Firefox the location bar with the url to the swf is visible, even though I set location=no as a variable in the code (it works ok in Safari). The window is also resizable in Firefox and Safari even though the variable is set to resizable=no. How can I fix this?
Second problem, even though I painstakingly set the left and top variables by trial and error to get the pop up window to open exactly in the center of the "stage" area of the site, when I post it and view it in a browser, the window pops up lower. When I'm in the fla of the site and I preview it in a browser, it's fine, but for some reason when I post the files online and then open it from http://truetilldeathhq.com/Skiz/main8_v7.html, the pop ups come in lower. Any fixes or advice on this?
Thanks for your help!

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I'm new to Flash and any kind of scripting and I didn't quite follow that page you directed me to. Right now I'm working up a Flash template and the action on the link for the banner pages looks like this:
on(rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on(rollOut, releaseOutside) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
_root.popup_pressed=1;
_root.scrHEIGHT=240
_root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.TM_title = "Work 1 read more";
_root.READ = 1;
_root.scroller.gotoAndPlay("s1");
How can I work up the on (release) so I'll get a simple pop up window, say 728x90, no scrollbars or resizing, that will open somewhere in the middle of the site? If I wanted a title to the pop up window, how would I do that?
Again, thanks so much for your time and excuse my newbieness.

Almost finished with site, really need help with pop up window!!!!!

I've got one last thing to finish up on this site I've been working on. I've posted what I've worked up so far at:
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.html
I still have to finish linking the actual banner swfs on the Online Banners page, which will display animated banner ads for the portfolio. Ideally, when the user clicked the View Banner link, I wanted to have the banners display in a similar pop up window like the other examples of the work (with same title area, close button, etc., click the Detailed View button on Merchandise page for example). That was problematic due to different frame rates of the banner swfs, getting the pop up window to contain just the stage area of the swf and not the working area, getting the window to pop up in the middle and not get cut off at the right side, etc. Like I said, ideally I'd like to do this, so if anyone has a relatively quick fix, I'm all ears.
I figured my best route now is to somehow have Flash trigger an html pop up window when the link is clicked and have it display in the middle of the page at the exact dimensions of the banner. Anybody know the best way to do this? I'm at my wits end and I really have to have this finished for Monday so any help is more than appreciated, thank big time in advance!

Need help with pop-up menu and applied Rules

I'm working on a spreadsheet that calculates my profit and losses. I drive a big rig so it needs to keep track of a lot of variables so I know if I'm going to make money on a run or lose money.
I get fuel discounts of various amounts depending on which vendor I fuel at.
I went to a section of the sheet and did a pop-up menu that contains the vendor names.
In the trip section I have cost of fuel per gallon, gallons purchased, total fuel cost, cost minus fuel surcharge.
What I would like to do is apply a rule to cost per gallon box (H7) that takes a variable from the pop-up menu (B40).
So if H7 has $2.58 entered as a cost and B40 has pilot selected then $0.050 will automatically be deducted from the $2.58. This way I will have a history of where I fuel, the deduction is made automatically, and I have a history of fuel prices in a certain region.
If anyone looks at this and sees a simpler way of figuring this calculation please make the suggestion. I want to keep this sheet as small and hassle free as possible.
I have 3 fuel stops per trip with totals that are connected to other areas. Once I get all of this done I will be adding a chart for easy comparison and long range simple tracking to see where improvements can be made and costs are going.
Thanks in advance all help will be appreciated.
Message was edited by: Hwoodwriter for clarification.

The IF Lookup table worked. Did a little modification by placing the table in another part of the chart then hiding that part.
I tried doing the discount as a negative but got a negative total which had a negative affect on my total trip income.
Here is how it works in it's final version.
Gallons on board minus gallons required for trip.
Cost per gallon (retail) multiplied by gallons purchased.
Fuel cost equals (Gallons purchased multiplied by Retail gallon price) minus ("IfLookup" multiplied by Gallons purchased)
Fuel Cost Minus Fuel Surcharge (the actual price I pay, which includes all my savings) equals (Retail Gallon Cost minus Fuel Surcharge minus "IfLookup") multiplied by Gallons Purchased.
Some of my trips take up to 3 fuel stops. So this helps me keep track of each fuel stop and all savings per trip.
I now have where I fueled, the retail price, with discount and surcharge applied. A few keystrokes and I know if a trip is going to be profitable or a loss for me.
Thank you for the help. I now have what I need at my fingertips to make my job more effective.
Thanks again.

Need help with Pop Menu Magic I

I'm working on a site, you can see the index page here: http://www.graphicedgepro.com/gcw/index.html
What I'm attempting to do is have the horizontal menu be in a table cell that has a background and you can see through the menu buttons. I got this to work, but I need the buttons to be centered in the table cell. Right now they they start on the left side.
Is there a way to center the menu bar?
I have Pop Menu Magic II, and I downloaded the update (1.4.9) but when I try to get the menu bar into the cell, it causes the background image to repeat and there is too much space above and below the actual manu bar. I know I can set this version of this extension to center the menu, but if I cannot get it to look like the Pop Menu Magic I I'm using now, it's not going to help. I tried just putting the menu in using Cayenne as the color scheme so it would be easier to find the CSS code that I would need to change. I do not know if I mess with the CSS if I can get the bar to set into the cell the way I need it. I'm just not sure what to do to get this to be right.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Need help with pop up menus...

Hi guys, hope u can help me with this. Im working on a flash
website. I have to include a pop up menu which I have managed to
create no problem. However, when I try to make the buttons inside
the pop up to change to another scene when clicked I cant get them
to work. This is the code I've used:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("Student_area","tests");
I have defined the action to go to the frame labeled "tests"
in the "Student_area" scene as I have been told in a tutorial I
have. However when I test it and click on it nothing happens. I
have tried many variations such as simply telling it to take me to
the students scene like I would do with a normal button but still
nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Hope someone can help me, gotta submit this soon.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?? Please.

Need help with Pop Up message

I've created a pop up message for a client that notifies you
when you are leaving a site. You can press ok to get redirected to
another site or cancel out by pressing the X. But when you press
the X it redirects you to the site anyways. Is there a way to
cancel the action or redirection of the pop up message window. Or
do I need to create a seperate page for the pop up message.

If you haven't already, you would be well served searching
through the
archives for the answer to your question. The archives can be
found here:
http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.dreamweaver
http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.dreamweaver.appdev
In this case, I think you'll find an answer that says, "Don't
do this,
people know what they want to do".
You don't need to repost the topic, if somebody wants to help
you they will.
It's doubtful anybody will, though, because it's not a
popular behavior on
the net.
The only place that still does it that I surf is my bank, and
I can't think
of a worse security botch up. What if I just leave and
somebody comes in
behind meand clicks "cancel". Stupid.

Need help with pop up windows!

I'm working on a page that's very long and it has your basic
"click on a small thumbnail of an image and a larger version opens
up in a pop up window". I downloaded a free extension from the
Macromedia exchange called Open Picture Window Fever, but it has a
couple of problems. First, there's no option to center the pop up
window, only dimensions you can manually put in. Plus when you
click on the picture, the new window opens but the original page
with the thumbnails automatically goes to the top when the pop up
opens (this is a problem because the page is very long and the user
would have to scroll back down each time they clicked on an image,
a big pain). The only other option I have is to use the Dreamweaver
Open Browser Image Behavior. The problems with that is that you
have to make a html page for each image, which is a drag. Also, I
can get the pop up window to center with a different extension I
downloaded, but I still have the same problem with the original
page jumps to the top.
What can I do to fix this? Anybody have other ideas or free
extensions I haven't tried yet?

Go to PVII and look for a free extension called Fix Null
Links....
http://www.projectseven.com/
That'll take care of that one.
> The only other option I

Go to E. Michael Brandt's site, and examine JustSo Picture
Window. It's
commercial but it's way nicer than PWF, in my opinion....

Newby Needs help with mapping an illusion

Attached is a picture of an illusion that I would like to be able to reproduce with different shapes. I have tried using several different programs including Photo shop and some cad programs. The problem is when I create the illusion the lines around the edge do not stay aligned with the illusion (see illusion 2 as how they should be).
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Larry,
Here is what I do:
Then you can add more squares and everything will be straight.

Need help with pop up notice when form submitted

Hello,
I created a form that has a submission button at the bottom for the application to be emailed upon 'mouse up' action to an email address.
I want to put in a pop up of 'Thank you! Your Application has been submitted'.
Can this be done within the pdf form somehow?
Any guidance or person who can do this is much appreciated!

Hello,
I believe you have helped me in the past!!! I am sorry your name escapes me!
So what would the action be to make sure it comes up IF the form goes thru? Is this something you can do for the person I do the forms for?

Need help with pop-up menu please!

So I have an older version of Dreamweaver.
I want to apply a drop-down menu or pop-up menu whatever to
words, but so far I don't think I can do that.
I've decided to apply it to a picture instead, and I've done
this successfuly before.
I select the picture, then go to behaviors and select "show
pop-up menu", fill in the info and say OK, but I then get this
message that goes something like "while applying behaviors action
javascript failed" and "ReferenceError:imgName isNot defined" or
whatever and it won't let me add it.
I've restarted the program and even my computer but it won't
go away.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

DW4?
The pop-up menus are very troublesome. Nobody here would
recommend that you
use them.
