Flash Applications and Games Development

Today,  

I am new to Flash. I am using MX 2004, Firefox, and Gmail. I am working with a template that has a contact form. There are four static text fields. I have named their instances name, address, telephone, and body. Here is the actionscript I have for the send button…

on (release) {
getURL("mailto:something@beamsco.com?subject=Danvi lle&body=name+address+telephone+body");
_parent.t1_2 = "Your full name:";
_parent.t2_2 = "E-mail address:";
_parent.t3_2 = "Your telephone:";
_parent.t4_2 = "Message:";
}

These fields were named t1_2, t2_2, t3_2, and t4_2. This works to bring up the email, and to reset the form. This however does not work to put the user input text into an email. Can you guys please help me?

Josh!

Today,  The drum beat has already started for next week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where you won’t be able to swing a dead rotary dial phone without hitting a slick sales type breathing the word “wireless” into your ear.Elena Malykhina, writing in Information Week this morning, advises show goers to “look for mobile TVs, wearable computing devices, portable media players, wireless in-vehicle technology, next-generation networking equipment, and much more.”CES is historically a big coming out party for new technologies and this year should be no different.

Today,  

Hello
I’m working on a flash application for bath design.
The user can set the dimensions of the bathroom and add different types of bath furniture on a 2d plane. After that the user can see the design in an isometric view.
I did most of the work and the application is almost ready but I have some troubles with z-sorting in the isometric view.
I know how to z-sort all products. I’m using something like this (from a Senocular’s tutorial):
Code:

this.swapDepths(this._x + this._y*isoPlane_width);

The problem is that I can’t use that for the walls because a wall can’t be projected on a single point on the floor.
Here are examples of what I have to achieve:

Hello all:

I am trying to modify the Tutorial on this site that contains the scrolling thumbnail XML gallery. I would like to contain the slideshow within a movie clip. While everything works fine when the gallery is created on the main timeline, the thumbnails fail to scroll when placed into a movie symbol. The ActionScript I’m using is the same one that’s found on the tutorial’s site:

If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.

Today,  The holiday shopping season seems to have started out with more of a bang than a whimper - - especially online.That wasn’t the scenario painted by the ever-negative mainstream media, who published wave after wave of articles bemoaning the lousy economic climate and predicting a disastrous holiday shopping season for retailers, both on- and off-line.The number on Black Friday are just trickling in, and seem to already be up from last year. In 2006, more than $19 billion was spent on Black Friday alone – or about five percent of all holiday spending. This year, Mastercard’s Spending…

However, that is just the tip of this particular security iceberg as McAfee claims that some 120 other countries are also jumping on the web espionage bandwagon.Primary targets include critical national infrastructure network systems with electricity, air traffic control, financial markets and Government computer…

Today,  

Hi, This might be an minuscule problem, but i really cudn’t locate an answer!

I am making an flv player using NetConnection/NetStream concept. As the video plays i’m wanted to show the elapsed time of the flv in a textfield. Now i’m not able to locate the particular event or a method which gets fired continuously till the video is playing.

A similar thing can be achieved by using FLVPlayback component, playheadUpdate event.

Code:

this.c_mcVideoPlayer.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", Delegate.create(this, onPlayheadUpdate));

function onPlayheadUpdate(evt:Object)
{
//do the task.
}


How can i do the same using NetStream ?
