Project: RHX5 Status: Previously good project, changed the index entries, now no index In a project that contains an imported Word doc, I deleted a lot of index entries from the index pane. These entries all began with the acronym UG. (We didn't like the acronym use and decided not to use it.) Then I did the following: * In the original Word doc, revised the index tags * In the project, deleted the RHX5 files for that doc * reimported the updated Word doc using the create index option The new index did not create. Instead, RH recreated the old index (using the UG acronyms). The index entries were bolded, indicating of course that they were not linked. Ghost entries. Thinking there may be some unused files in the project causing the problem, I created a new project using the RH wizard, and imported the doc again using the create index check box. No index. whazzup? Thank you!

Hi, I have a button directly on the main timeline with the instancename kings_cross. I then have some methods in the main timeline, which work as they are supposed to when the button is pressed. However, I have now placed the button inside a MC which is contained within a scrollpane. I'm using the same code but the button doesn't work...I fear this maybe a scope problem so if anyone's brave enough to help me it will be greatly appreciated.

I have been creating a mail form with different field options like "Input Fields", "Combo Boxes and "Checkboxes". Some of the fields are required. When the person is pressing the next button the required fields will be checked with a if statement, this is working fine until I have added the else statement at the end of my action script. Below is my action script code to check the fields and if they are correct to send it to php. I hope someone can help me out here. It looks like the else statement skips the if statment. Some field descriptions and “setresult” field are in Dutch.

I am trying to find a decent CF based Survey app that includes text based answers as well as simple polling questions. The closest thing to what I need - that I have found - is Ray Camden's "Soundings" app. But the biggest drawback is that it only allows for one question per page. So a 10 question survey takes at a minimum - 20 clicks to get through. Ray has said that he plans on adding the ability to put many questions on one page but he can't say when. So - anyone got one I can purchase? Anyone know of where I can find a good one? It must be in CF - not ASP. Thanks all, Chris

I'm trying to pass a single variable from PHP to Flash. However, I can't quite get it to work. In a PHP file named data.php, I'm using: $query = SELECT SUM(Debt) As Total FROM debtclock"; $result = mysql_query($query); $debt = mysql_result($result, "Total"); print "debttotal=$debt"; In Flash 8 Actionscript, I'm using: loadVariables("data.php","0"); As I understand it, this should make the variable debttotal available in Flash. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

I have a customtag that outputs a string, but i've noticed that spaces are added at the start and end of that string. These spaces are not in the customtag, the string has been trimmed! So why does the customtag add spaces? and how do i prevent that? (i know i can return the string in a variable to the caller page and then output that on the caller page, that works fine, but i don't want it like that).

I need to dynamically create a zip file by calling images in a certain directory. Is there any sort of coldfusion tag (possibly custom tag) that will allow me to do this? Thanks.

Hi, I have a script where I load and scale different images in a single movie clip but it does not work correctly. The dimensions seem to "stay in memory" so every new image I load gets scaled according to the first scaling value. The scaling value stays the same until I load a larger image, then it gets modified but remains at the scale of the larger image. Any ideas on what the problem is? I am attaching a sample of my code to this message. Thank you, -ez

If the user resizes the Table of Contents in my site, the Contents, Search, Glossary toolbar appears twice and the TOC will no longer bring up topics. Refreshing the browser fixes it and sets the TOC back to the starting width. Is the user supposed to be able to drag the TOC boundary and make the TOC wider or narrower? This problem is in FireFox only. It works fine in IE Here’s my site: http://feathelptemp.spatialdynamics.com/ Thanks! http://feathelptemp.spatialdynamics.com/

Please run the attached code and tell me I"m not crazy. DateDiff did not calculate the correct number starting with this date >>> (04/03/2006)... once it hit's that date the count does not increment and then the next date continues incrementing... but with all results now off by one. What is going on... I need to use DateDiff to get the correct number? Is there another calculation that I can use to get the difference between two dates... giving me the actual count between those dates? Do you see the same crazy behaviour on your end? Here is what I see on my side: (87??) -- 88 (86??) -- 87 86 -- 86 85 -- 85 Thanks for the input.

I'm having a problem with variables that are created from a XML file. I'm using XMLParse() and XMLSearch() to create the XML into coldfusion variables. However, I dont know how to output the variables that have ":"'s in them. I tried: #myXML.XmlAttributes.msprop:Header# But that doesn't work. I get an error when it geets to the ":". Any ideas?

Hi, beginner web person here. I work for a smal school district and we are trying to create a web site that will display data from a database. We need both quicktime files OR image files to display in the space. A past student has written us the code below but it doesn't seem to work quite right. According ot the code, it is supposed to look at the file name and if it is a .mov, then embed as a plug in. If it is an image file, it is supposed to use IMG in the string. It always uses EMBED no matter what type of file name is referenced. Any help would be greatly appreciate!

ok. im trying to get the data that is entered into the created text fields and turn them into an Array. for some reason it reads the text field varibles as the variable name not the value of the text field. anyone got any idea how to work this out? the code: word = "test_test"; amount = word.length; letters = new Array(); for (x=0; x<amount; x++) { xpos = 100; xpos = xpos + x * 25; createTextField("Box_"+ , x, xpos, 150, 20,20); _root["Box_" + x].type = "input" _root["Box_" + x].background=true; _root["Box_" + x].border=true; _root["Box_" + x].backgroundColor=0xFFFFFF;//white _root["Box_" + x].borderColor=0x000000;//black _root["Box_" + x].multiline=false; _root["Box_" + x].wordWrap=false; _root["Box_" + x].variable = "myText"+x _root["Box_" + x].maxChars = 1; _root["Box_" + x].tabEnabled = false; btn.onPress = function(){ got = new Array(amount) for(i=0; i<amount; i++){ got = "myText[" + i + "]"; trace(got); } }

Hello - I have a single form with two buttons, currently named 'Button1' and 'Button2'. Both buttons lead through the default DW/php code to update database records (in MySQL), but I want the page redirect after updating to be determined by which button was pushed. I am using $_GET['ButtonName'] to direct action based on which button was used to submit the form. Unfortunately, I can't seem to redirect the page where I want. The code I am using is: ======= if (isset($_GET['Button1'])) { $updateGoTo = "edit_onepage.php"; } else { $updateGoTo = "account.php"; } ======== If the user submits using Button1, I want them forwarded to "edit_onepage.php". If he submits using Button2, I want him forwarded to "account.php". Unfortunately, no matter how I fiddle with this code, the form is always forwarding to "account.php", regardless of which button is pushed. Can anyone see what I am missing here? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi, does anyone know of a free dynamic popup extension out there? So far the other image extensions I have found all require a .jpg file. I am using it for a dynamic page and need to use it with a dynamic attribute <img src="#photos.primaryImage1#">. Thanks Shane

The action script below loads two videos ( first.flv, second.flv) then plays them consecutively. I would like to load the videos as variables from a PHP page that this flash is embeded in - something like: $first_flv = "first.flv"; $second_flv = "second.flv"; How can I get $first_flv and $second_flv into flash variables that can replace the hard-coded ( "first.flv", "second.flv") below? //action script var videoLoaderIndex:Number = 0; var videoPlayerIndex:Number = 0; var videoList:Array = new Array( "first.flv", "second.flv"); vidComp.contentPath = videoList[0]; function eready(e:Object):Void { if( videoLoaderIndex < videoList.length ) { videoLoaderIndex++; vidComp.activeVideoPlayerIndex = videoLoaderIndex; vidComp.load( videoList[videoLoaderIndex] ); } } vidComp.addEventListener("ready", eready); function ecomplete(e:Object):Void { ++videoPlayerIndex; if(videoPlayerIndex >= videoList.length) { videoPlayerIndex = 0; } vidComp.activeVideoPlayerIndex = videoPlay

Not sure how to do this one: I want to trigger an action when the playhead reaches a certain labeled frame. I can make it work using: if (_currentframe == 10){ dothis; } but I anticipate moving things around in the timeline so I would rather have the action triggered when the playhead reaches a certain frame label. I tried using something like: if (frameLabel == "myframenamehere") { dothis; } but that doesn't work. Any help much appreciated! Michael

I will even do some practice at home. Tools I have at work • Development server(test) • Home site. • Toad for db connection. • Html reference guide • Cf dummies book. How can start my projects. (ex.

I have a series of forms for a shopping cart checkout. The way the client has it setup, the user fills out a form with their name, address, etc and then goes to a page to select payment method. If credit card is selected, a form with standard CC number, exp. date comes up. Also on this page, the user fills out the billing address. There is a check box for if the billing address is the same the the user's address. I need for the billing form to be auto-filled if the checkbox is selected. I know how to do this if the 2 forms are on the same screen, but in this case the first form is filled out previously. The info from the first form is in a table, so I can query the database to get the address information. But how do I get these ColdFusion variables into the Javascript? JS is not my strong suit, but here is a script I've used before: <script language="JavaScript"> function useBillInfo(form) { var idx; { form.ShipTo_Name_First.value= form.BillTo_Name_First.value; form.Ship

Hi, First of all, i will declare i am a total noob at flash, i have been using it for the past few weeks and am just getting to grips with it, but there is one thing that i have been trying to do for the past 2 days and it really is driving me up the wall. I have searched the net and this forum and nothing seems to work. I was trying to link scenes, and i tried everything, naming frames, _root, etc.. and nothing worked, and i read that linking scenes was a bad idea, so im just gonna link to frames now on the one scene. The problem i have now is, at the end of the scene i have a stop, this is at frame 60, and i have 4 buttons which i want to link to different scenarios, so i was gonna link each button to a specific frame number, I tried to link the button to frame 61 to start playing there, but it goes all the way back to the start of the scene and doesnt play frame 61 because there is a stop. all i want it to do is from the button relaease, play frame 61 and stop at 80, but it wont?

Hi guys, I'm new here! I wondered if anyone could explain to me what I'm doing wrong here. As part of a Flash-based campus mapping system, I am trying to create a 'Room Information' box that will display certain information regarding rooms around the campus, based upon data stored in a Microsoft Access database. The .asp file I am using is working correctly, and my dynamic text boxes are correctly displaying the information as each database record is queried. However, I am also trying to display an image of the room. The image files are located in the same directory as the .swf, they are non-progressive .jpgs. I have been trying to use the following code (which works for everything but the images): onClipEvent(data) { // Create a Movie Clip to load images into mcRoomDatabase.createEmptyMovieClip("MyImagesHolder", 0); strName = Name; strBuilding = Building; strType = Type; strProjector = Projector; strSeats = Seats; strRoamNet = RoamNet; strPosition = "Record " add Stri
