help!

[Glenn Venzke]

Hi, I'm an ASP developer in Chicago who has been out of work for several
months now. As a consequence, I'm trying out the freelance waters for the
first time. Can anybody point me to a good online resource for freelance web
development projects? Most of the major job boards don't have much to crow
about at the moment and Google searches haven't fared much better. Help!

Thanks!

My internet lets me access every site except
[url]www.xanga.com[/url] or clicking on my xanga site in my public
profile. Why is this...and what can I do to fix it?

The problem could be caused a bad entry in the Hosts file. To edit
the file, enter this command in the Start | Run box, making sure to
include the "." at the end of the command:

notepad C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts.

If you find a line with the name of the site that you can't access,
delete the line, save the file, and try again.

FileMaker Pro works as a server. It is more limited than FM Server in
the number of files that it can share and the number of concurrent
users. I believe it is limited to 10 files being shared at one time and
25 concurrent users.

You can also get into trouble with dataabse integrity if you do not
observe some basic rules. An important rule is: Do not allow a file with
the same name as a file being shared to exist anywhere else on the network.

I believe it is also important to stop file sharing before copying
files. So you have to interrupt sharing in order to make backup copies.

I recently had a website produced by a web designer using Studio MX on his Mac, I run Dreamweaver 4 on a PC and cannot edit the files as the program crashes when I try to run any of the files.


My Questions

Can I edit MX files on Version 4 ?
Can I edit the originally Mac based files using a PC ?
Am I going to need Studio MX? (each page contains flash images, but I don't want to edit them)

I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks

Mark

[Alan Ames]

are the pages based on DMX templates?

if they are- they can be converted back to dw4 syntax with some find and
replace (IF they don't use DMX only features)

URL's to some of the pages? (to check the code)

Cheers for the help!

I've got a nasty feeling we may be using some MX features!

Thanks

[Alan Ames]

didn't see any Template or library item code inthe pages i looked at.

looks like DMX used in (shudder) Layout Mode.

Dw4 should edit it fine. Suggest using "Regular Table editing" under the
view menu. there's more table code on the pages than is needed- but it's
okay.

Ok, I have the intro to my page done, it has some nice zooming texts, but what I can't understand is, how, after that is over, can I make things link to other flash things.

It is kind of hard to explain...

Say it dose the intro, then I have my links at the bottom (Home, About, Mixers, Contact) and I want to be able to click on mixers and have the content change, how do I do that?

[billwatson webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

probably the easiest way is to do this

insert>new symbol> movie clip

dont put anything in this new clip

go back to the main timeline open the library and drag a copy of this empty clip onto the stage. use properties to give the clip an instance name (clipHolder, say) and position it where you want the other swf's to load on the button click

add this code to your buttons

on(release){
loadMovie("mixers.swf",clipHolder):
}

just change the name of the file to load on the other buttons.

What if I want to use text links and not buttons, do I have to have a different text box for each link, or is that even posible, I'm sure it is....

And where do I insert HTML?

This is my second day to ever use flash, so I don''t know everything yet.

[billwatson webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

in flash to make a text link you convert the text into a button. select the text and press F8 then check button.

html can only be added to text fields.

when you publish the flash movie, flash will generate the required html

I'm having a number of problems with parsing a XML file with PHP and I'm
completely stumped at this point.

Background: Running RedHat Linux, php 4.3.2, no database (flatfiles)

I have a flatfile with entries that look something like:
<entry>
<lastname>lastname</lastname>
<firstname>firstname</firstname>
<aurl>http://somewhere.net</aurl>
</entry>

Here are the problems I'm having:

1. If there is an HTML entity in lastname or firstname, the parser
breaks. That is, if I have either &aacute; or &#225; anywhere in the
field, the parser drops it out. So, if I have "Jos&#233;" I get a null
value after the parse. The functions htmlentities or htmlspecialchars
don't solve the problem.

2. I have similar problems with &amp; So, if I have a business name
like "A&P" as "A&amp;P", I get "P" as the value after parsing. Neither of
the htmlentities or htmlspecialchars functions fix the problem.

3. I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to sort
objects. I've grabbed a number of pieces of code from various places on
the net that say "this is how you do it" but they do not work. The sorting
methods used will operate only on arrays, and I'm trying to sort an object.
Php knows the difference... I've tried copying values into arrays to sort
them, but then getting them back into the object form becomes a nightmare.

Essentially, I want to be able to sort by $entry['lastname'] and
then by $entry['firstname'] but nothing I've tried will work. I've not had
similar problems in other languages...

I've had a number of other problems and odd occurrences when just trying
to run the examples in the "Programming PHP" book by O'Reilly. Most of
them, I've worked through and found that the necessary code isn't exactly
what's in the book. But, on the above 3 things, I'm stymied.

I'd appreciate any help.... please?

I've managed to get an external .txt file loaded into a dynamic text box......great except for everytime there is a carrage return in the .txt file there is a space in-between the lines of the textbox.

How do I get rid of them???

Here is the action scripting in the keyframe:


loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("music.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
musicbox.text = this.music;

};


Here is the contents of the .txt. file:


music=On the stereo today:
Fine Cut Bodies - knowledge cover CD.
Plump Djs - Eargasm.
Zero 7.


and the textbox looks like this:


On the stereo today:

Fine Cut Bodies - knowledge cover CD.

Plump Djs - Eargasm.

Zero 7.


cheers,

George

You could try html formatting with <br> instead of line breaks. I think
Macromedia had a list of all applicable tags on their site. You will have to
change the dynamic text box to render as html so it interprets the tags
correctly.

[war_mice webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Here's how u can do it.

First, select the dynamic text box, go to Text Properties, then check HTML.

Then, in your textfile, use <BR> to end line instead of double line. Here's an example:

Text=How are you man ? <br> I'm fine, you ? <br> Same <br> Good.

....will appear like that...

How are you man ?
I'm fine, you ?
Same
Good.

Hope that helps ;)

Hi all! I'm a complete newbie and this may be a dumb question, but when I open a JPEG file using Elements, the picture shows up in shades of purple on the edit screen. However, when I print preview, the picture shows up in it's normal colors. How do I correct this?

By the way, I have Elements 2.0 running on Windows 2000 Professional.

Thanks!

[BobHill]

Tango,

Have you used Adobe Gamma to configure your monitor and printer to Elements? It should be in your Control Panel.
