Web Forms in Flash MX 2004

How do I create a web form in flash that calculates both
sub-totals and total cost? (Or an 'add to basket'' page?)
Is it better to create HTML web form outside of flash?

You need some kind of shopping cart product. This is the
easiest way. I don't know of many for Flash but there are several
for Dreamweaver (I've used Cartweaver for a few project and it's
worked fine)
The only other way is create your own which would involves
ActionScript and database of prices and products, etc.

  • Conflict between Flash and CoffeeCup Web Form

    Hi
    I can't solve this and I really need some help:
    I'm developing a site using CoffeeCup webform together Adobe Flash CS4 and DW CS4 on the same page.
    When viewing through FF, Safari, Opera, Chrome both components will work although errors will be reported in error logs.
    see: http://www.realorganizingsolutions.com/ … ation.html
    When viewing through IE8 the *web form works fine* BUT the flash will only appear erratically - often not at all. To get the flash to play at all you have to click the link multiple times.
    Coffeecup uses flash to build the form hence my belief that there is a conflict in the javascript.  By commenting out the CoffeeCup web form ( starts line 38) the flash works fine which also makes me think it is the javascript in the web form.
    I am at a loss as to what to do about this. I've searched high and low. My javascript is weak.
    My Platform:
    Coffecup Web form 7.8 set to php
    Flash: CS4
    DW CS4
    Dell XP Pro
    Many Many thanks
    Vincej

    I have do that already. At first, I try to set it 1 msec but the form runtime seem like to be frozen, so I set the timer just for 300msec (I set with that value , so my clock tick can follow the system clock in difference about 99ms with the system clock tick, I could tolerance that).
    The problem is when I focusing on one text item and type something on it.
    Everytime the timer expire, It will trigger the WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED, while in the trigger itself, I wrote one of this procedure:
    SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY('my_window',WINDOW_TITLE,vTime);
    Everytime this procedure run, My cursor will lost its focus with the last item I entered.
    (The problem showed up if you press space-bar on the text item, because everytime you press space-bar, the cursor will return to the left position of the value in that text item. That's what I said problem with "spacing", it wouldn't do any spacing to the value in the text item).
    Of course, I have anticipation for that. I set the item property (Keep Cursor position) to true and it works fine. The cursor didn't runaway to the left, but it still wouldn't do any spacing, in other way, the cursor will return to its position of last focused text item, if the last character of the text item is space (from space-bar, I mean)It will be erased. The cursor will pretend like the last character is no space at all.
    I think that's the problem, because I can't do any space in that item (especially, if I set the timer with lower value than 300 msec).
    what I'm trying to ask is "Are there any tip or trick to make the cursor know if the last character is space and will return to the "real last" of the string in the text item ?
    Thank you for your suggestion and also thanks for your opinion, Chandrangadan, but I have already do that (It doesn't work if I set the timer lower than your 1000 ms)...

  • How can I validate a field on a Flash web form?

    I'm trying to create a Flash web form. I have many fields
    like Email, username and so on. I would like to add a code to
    validate the email, How can I program the Flash to report an error
    if the Email is invalid? or if the username is empty?
    Thank you

    you can use a conditional statement, like when the use clicks
    the 'submit' button or something, then run a check to see if
    there's anything in the fields. Where email is concerned you may
    want to check by the '@' reference. so use something like:
    if(username_txt.text == null || email_txt.text.indexOf("@")
    < 0) {
    //throw an error here and stop the sending
    EDIT: good god!!!! sorry kg :)

  • Slow response on Windows 2003 with web forms

    We are current running Oracle web forms on thin clients on Windows 2000 terminal server. We have installed Windows 2003 on one node of the cluster. When we run the same application on 2003, it is very slow and the screen flashes a lot. It takes 1-2 seconds to echo a keystroke. This is true for Jinitiator 1.3.1.25 and 1.3.1.18. We are using 1.3.1.18 on the Win 2000 terminal server. When I try form=test on Win 2003, the screen has colors and has poorer resolution that running the same on Win2003. The form has a grey background on Win 2000 but is magenta in Win 2003 and you can barely make out the hammer in the prompt. This happens when running from the same thin client with the same resolution and colors. Is there a setting on IE that could be causing this? Is there a problem with Win 2003? The Oracle application server is 9iAS but we see the same probelm with 10g.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Copying my response from this thread:
    Report in Designer fast, in Viewer extremely slow
    Thread is now locked.
    A "cool" issue, form my perspective as this may be something new to think about / figure out. Not so cool from where you sit...
    Anyhow, a few things to check:
    1) Compare the runtime of your dev system and the Citrix system. Use Modules to do the comparison.
    2) Not sure what runtime was installed, but the most recent MSI / MSM are from SP 1.4:
    MSI
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100004610752009E/cr2008_fp14_ri.zip
    MSM
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100004610922009E/cr2008_fp14_mm.zip
    Trying the FP 1.4 runtime will be worth a shot.
    3) How is the performance on the Citrix when you actually sit right on the server, and not on a work station?
    4) Where is the slow down occurring (unfortunately this will require a bit of temporary code modification)? But the bottle necks typically are at:
    -report load
    - connection to the data source
    - setting of parameters
    - actual report output, be it to a viewer, export or printer.
    I suggest a possible way of tackling this in the performance article (page 4):

  • Is it possible to create a contact form via Flash cs5.5 and package out app for desktop?

    I need to create a desktop app for windows.  Im using Flash cs5.5 and I wanted to know of an easy to way to create a simple contact form that would work once installed on a desktop/
    Thanks guys for any input!

    If you want a contact form you can either use StageWebView or HTMLLoader to show an HTML page in your web server with a contact form.
    Or you can create the form with Flash textfields and then send the whole thing with a POST request to a PHP script in the server, for example.

  • Embedding music; XSPF vs. Flash MX 2004

    I'm working on a little personal site that feaatures articles about musicians and short sound clips of some of the their best songs. I've found two good ways to have a little embedded player: XSPF (frree from SourceForge.net) or Flash. Two things I'm worried about: If I use XSPF, it appears the user's browser will download the player and a playlist to the mp3 music file on the server. Pretty much the same way Flash works, I believe, except I think the wav/mp3 is imbedded in a Flash file. Sounds viable. Second thing I'm worried about: I bought Flash MX 2004 from Macromedia before they were bought out by Adobe. It's an old version, but I'm assuming it can do something as simple as create a little player? I didn't really explore it much after I bought it. Any tips appreciated.

    1) WMA is not a suitable file type for the web.  Use MP3.
    2) You don't need to re-invent the wheel.
    3) For a better user experience, get a Flash MP3 Player that supports playlists (see link below).
    http://www.webdesignbooth.com/10-easy-to-implement-flash-based-mp3-players-for-your-websit e/
    For people who don't have Flash capability (iPhone/iPad, etc...), also provide direct links to the MP3 files.  Almost everyone has an MP3 capable player like iTunes installed on their system.
    Good luck with your site!

  • Update Flash Player in Flash MX 2004

    Hi folks,
    I'm having a problem with publishing (and previewing)
    transitions and reading through the threads think it might be that
    I don't have Flash Player 8 or higher. Flash Player 9 is installed
    on my computer for web-browsing but when looking in my Flash MX
    publish settings, the newest version is Flash 7.
    Can anyone advise me how I go about fixing this as it may
    solve my other problem? If anyone has any other suggestions of how
    to fix the tranisition problem, they are also appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    when i said flash 9 has been released early - i was referring
    to the player - not the tool - dont
    wanna start false rumours :p

  • ScrollPane in Flash MX and flash Mx 2004 professional

    Summary:
    The refreshPane method works differently in Flash MX and
    Flash MX 2004 Professional
    What went wrong?:
    I have used scrollPane component in Flash mx and loaded some
    content. I changed the content size i.e. width and height
    at runtime and after that called the refreshPane() method to
    resize the scrollPane. It works fine with Flash MX
    But same I tried with Flash Mx 2004 Professional, but it
    doesn't work, since in Flash Mx the refreshPane() method resizes
    the content and in flash Mx 2004 Professional the
    refreshPane() metod reloads the content.
    What should have happened?:
    Can there be a method in flash Mx 2004 Professional which
    just resizes the scrollPane and not reloads the whole content?
    Since if I have to generate a content at runtime and resize
    it also at runtime then just by calling the method refreshPane() in
    flash Mx 2004 Professional, it loads the content what it was
    originally and not the changed one.
    Product version: flash Mx, Flash Mx 2004 Professional
    Product: Flash
    Component: scrollPane
    I would like to request you to help me in the same as early
    as possible.
    Thanks and regards,

    Flash MX creates .swf files. Dreamweaver CS4 creates HTML
    files, and
    has the capability of inserting .swf files in a web page. It
    doesn't
    matter which version of Flash you use to create your .swf
    files; they
    can be inserted into a web page in any version of
    Dreamweaver.

  • Updating Studio MX 2004 from Flash mx 2004?

    Hi Guys,
    just wondering if anyone knows an answer to the following.
    I've got myself an update version of studio mx 2004 with
    flash pro (with a view to updating to CS3 web premium). My problem
    is this, will it update from flash mx 2004 standard or do I need an
    earlier version of flash for the update to work?
    I know it needs only one application to update, but is flash
    mx 2004 standard suitable?
    Cheers

    Ignore any activation error messages or warnings relating to MX 2004.
    The activation server for that version has been shut down.
    You can now use a new non-activation serial number provided by Adobe

  • Simular en flash los botones de Atrás y Siguiente del navegador en una web hecha en flash que carga una pelicula swf por cada apartado

    Hola a todos:
    Necesito simular el boton de Atras y Siguiente del navegador
    en una web
    desarrollada en flash. Me explico: cada vez que pulsamos
    cualquier opción
    del menú de la web, ésta carga distintas
    películas swf, por lo cual no
    podemos movernos a través de los botones del navegador
    Atrás y Siguiente.
    Quisiera de alguna forma que se guardara el itineraria
    seguido por el
    usuario, y poder realizar la misma función que los
    botones de Atrás y
    Siguiente, a través de dos botones de flash.

    Puedes crear dos variables. En una almacenas las
    películas visitadas ordenadas
    de más antigua a más reciente. Creas una
    función que te permita navegar por esos
    registros. Cuando pulses el botón de atrás vas
    cargando en pantalla la penúltima
    visitada (supuestamente estarás en la última). A
    medida que vayas accediendo a
    películas natiguas, vas rellenando la otra variable, que
    será la que te permita

    Hola a todos:
    Necesito simular el boton de Atras y Siguiente del navegador
    en una web
    desarrollada en flash. Me explico: cada vez que pulsamos
    cualquier opción
    del menú de la web, ésta carga distintas
    películas swf, por lo cual no
    podemos movernos a través de los botones del navegador
    Atrás y Siguiente.
    Quisiera de alguna forma que se guardara el itineraria
    seguido por el
    usuario, y poder realizar la misma función que los
    botones de Atrás y
    Siguiente, a través de dos botones de flash.

  • Is it possible to see who has saved progress on a web form, but not submitted?

    We are using FormsCentral for our application process, and we are allowing applicants to save forms. Is it possible to see who has started a web form, and saved it, but hasn't submitted yet? Maybe by cc'ing the email notificiation they get to an admin?
    We'd like to see who is working on the applications, and also to send them a reminder that they need to complete and submit the form by the deadline.

    Hi;
    No, there isn't a way for you to see anything about who has saved progress.
    Thanks,
    Josh
