Hi the function duplicateMovieClip gives me a real hard time. I dynamically load certain parts of my application using the MovieClipLoader, then (when the external movieclip is completely loaded and intialized) I try to duplicate this movieclip using the duplicateMovieClip function, but it doesn't work. Using the function on a movieclip that has been created at design time or using createEmptyMovieclip work, but not with the externaly loaded ones. Is this some kind of security problem? How can it be solved. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance Paul

I have two completely separate .swf files being loaded into a web page. MovieA.swf is set to play on load and movieB.swf is set to be stopped on load. On the click of a button within movieA, I'm trying to get movieA.swf to tell movieB.swf to go to a certain frame and play. I've been searching on Google for hours now and not really found anything that works. Within movieA I've tried the following: on (release) { gotoAndPlay("_root.movieB", "15"); } OR on (release) { gotoAndPlay("movieB", "15"); } When I do this it just seems to play movieA. Note I also haven't found a way to "name" a movie. So I'm just calling the file name (movieA.swf) and I realize that's probably not right. It seems like it would be a common thing to do... anyone have any code that might work? Thank you, Raym

I have a static site in Japanese that is working fine in Dreamweaver. I'm trying to add a database connection with php/mysql, but the connection between my page and the database is garbling the text (moji bake) in both directions. I'm using UTF-8, both on the page, and in the database. (I tried with SJIS but that only gave me a different kind of moji bake). I can enter Japanese text directly into the database without any problem, but that text gets garbled when I read it on the page, and the text submitted by the form also gets garbled going into the database. This seems to be a fairly common problem, looking at other unanswered posts in this forum. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Daniel Sofer / Hermosawave Internet

Hi. I have several Movie Clips on my project's library and I need to retrieve their properties in order to assign them to certain variables. at a given point I will attach those MCs to the stage, but I needed their widths, heights, etc. before, in order to calculate the positions where I'll attach them and other MCs. So what I need to know is if there is a way to retrieve those properties directly from the library, perhaps using linkage ids or something of the kind, without needing to have the MCs attached. Thank you in advance.

I get an unexpected result when using cfqueryparam with list="yes" and null="yes" using CF 7.0.1 and MSSQL 2000. When i run this code: <cfset arguments.userIds = ""/> <cfquery datasource="dsn"> select id from users where id in (<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userIds#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" list="true" null="#not listLen(arguments.userIds)#"/>) </cfquery> It throws an error: Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Line 3: Incorrect syntax near ')'. SQL: select id from users where id in () If I remove list="yes" from the cfqueryparam tag, it works fine and sends "select id from users where id in (null)" to SQL server (which is a valid statement) and the page loads successfully. It appears that with list="yes" and null="yes", it does not send the "null" as I would expect like it does when list="no". I cannot find any documentation on using null="yes" with list="yes", so I can't tell if this is intended functionality

Hi, I am designing a page that has a left menu and middle text section. the client wants the top and left stay in screen all the time and middle section, which is a long text, to be scrollable and moves up and down with no effect on left and top. and the left menu links should make the middle text jump to the right section of it. I know how to use frame and know to use the anchors. but I don't know how to make both work together, or if it is possible this way. or I might need Javascript for the whole thing? I appreciate all your help.

I am using CFFILE to copy a file to a TEMP location and then using CFHEADER and CFCONTENT (with deleteFile set to "yes") to start a download of a file (from the TEMP location) and delete it when download finishes (or is aborted). My question is this: what will happen if multiple requests are made simultaneously for the same file? Is this gonna be a problem? If so, what's the workaround (if any)?

Hi, if I would want to test and start up a cf pages at my home PC ( practice) What do I have to do/have?

I am moving our site to CFMX7 and have created an application.cfc my question is do all application variables have to be set in the application.cfc. I have application variables that are not set here but when I go to another page and do a dump of my appliction variables only the ones that are set on the application.cfc show up. For example I store some queries in application variables and on the page that calls the queries it check to see if the application variable exisits if not it will then run the query and save it as application.queryname. --- but it doesn't look like this works in CFMX7 Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi All, I'm having a problem plotting a clip with AS2 onto the stage based off an XML. I think its looping thought the xml fine but for some reason its not plotting all the clips on the time line... So what I'm trying to do is plot a clip on a line based off its <note_position> and <note_height> which it does just fine. But its not plotting all the <note> nodes... it plots 2 <note> clips from <line tName="Name-1" color="0x336633"> then it plots 1 <note>clips from <line tName="Name-2" color="0x333366"> then it plots 2 <note>clips from <line tName="Name-3" color="0x663366"> what it should do is plot all the <note>clips from <line tName="Name-1" color="0x336633"> then plot all the of the <note>clips from <line tName="Name-2" color="0x333366"> and last but not least plot all the of the <note>clips from <line tName="Name-3" color="0x663366">... So all in all what it is doing is plotting 5 <note&g

Hello - I am trying to remove a period from the end of a string and cannot seem to get it right. Here's an example of what I am trying to do. Smith, John T. changed to Smith, John T Also, some names do not have the "." at the end. For example: Smith, John Todd I only need it to remove it if it is the last character in the string. I've come close with this: #REReplace("#empinfo.Emp_Name#", ".$", "")# It removes the last character regardless what it is. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi: Does anybody know a workaround for theSafari Image swap resize bug?

Background info... I created a database driven slide show using Dreamweaver and ColdFusion which displays an enlarged photo within an album (detail.cfm). I am using the Dreamweaver "Recordset Paging" server behavior to allow the user to click "previous" and "next" to view each photo in the entire album. I am also using the "Show Starting Record" and "Show Total Records" server behaviors to display "3 of 10 photos". I have a link on the page which goes to a thumbnail index which displays the entire album in thumbnail form (thumbnail.cfm). Here's my question... I want to be able to click a photo on the thumbnail.cfm page and have it go back to the detail.cfm page and have the photo display while keeping the album information (like navigation, # of records) so that it's like I navigated to that image using the Navigation buttons not the thumbnail page. Let's say there are 10 photos in the album and I click on the 3rd photo on the thumbnail page. I should be taken back to the detail.cfm p

I'm trying to have a thumbnail link to the large image within a slideshow on the detail page. The detail page consists of one large image, a recordCount, and recordset paging which correctly allows me to click "previous" and "next" to view the other images within the album. However, I can't figure out how to pass the necessary information from the thumbnail page to the detail page so that it will jump to the correct record/image within the recordset. I tried passing the "idProduct", but then it only shows the one record/image so I can't use the previous/next buttons to view the other record. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Lori

How do you write a insert query to insert all the values of a cfselect (multiple) that have been selected? I want to insert the session username with the value of the cfselect in a two column table. Thanks! James

Ok, what I am trying to do is create as many movie clips as I need and then access those movie clips using string values. These string values are stored in an array and coincide with a given movie clips instance name. Check out the following code: I think my problem is that Flash is trying to call movie clip methods on a string instance. I'm not sure how to type cast in Flash, or even if it is possible, but how would I access the strings as movie clips?
