Please help!

[tralfaz]

I have a couple of cloud animations on my website. The tutorial for the
perspective cloud animation is for Photoshop & Flash but other paint
programs can do it too. I haven't quite finished the tutorial for the first
one, but the other posts in this thread cover that method anyway.

I have tried to do it by using few jpeg images of clouds but once they start
again it skips and it is not very smooth.

Thanks everyone!

I will try it and let you guys know the result. Thanks again!

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this also.

I have created a rollover scrolling text button inside a movieclip to tell the stage to scroll. I used an actionscript with the "_root.movie" function and it worked fine.

Because my flash has gotten larger I have decided to create a new swf file which loads in the swf movie into this new movie. I used a "loadmovie" script and it loads my scrolling movie with no problems. The problem is that it does not scroll anymore.

The "_root.movie" function was used to control it's own movie but now because it is in another movie it does not work.

Can you please help me? Please.... I have tried it for days.... I can't find anyone to help me.

Thank you very much.

Roy

if you are loading the .swf into a movieClip you can target it with that
name:

_root.myLoadClip.play()

Depending on how many levels down you are making the call from you could use
_parent instead of _root.

Hi-

I'm an absolute beginner to Perl. I need to write a script that will take tables from a SQL server database, somehow get them into HTML format, and automatically generate an email to a list of users containing the info I just converted into HTML. All I can seem to find online is generating automatic emails from web forms. Can anyone give me some ideas?? I would appreciate it. I just started a new job and don't want to mess this up......

No offense intended, but if you are an absolute beginner, you're not
exactly starting at the bottom, are you? We do you know? SQL, HTML,
other languages?

What exactly are you wanting, since you've already told us your skills
aren't up to this project yet? Do you want to know if we'll write it
for you or simply tell you where to start?

My suggestion would be to start learning some Perl. "Learning Perl" is
a common book to start with.

Hey Sarah7281

You have a pretty ambitious set of needs. You'll probably have to break it
down into pieces and go after one thing at a time. The e-mail thing is
probably the easiest. Maybe it would help if you told us what programming
experience you have?

There are ready-built modules out there that just require the customization
of a few variables up front. That's what sucked me into Perl ages ago.
Unfortunately, I never learned much more than that.

Until I bought "Perl for Web Site Management", by John Callender,
[O'Reilly]. It has chapters that would be helpful for you, and a nice easing
into Perl in the opening chapters. Sure filled in a lot of the blanks for
me. It doesn't go through Perl/SQL, though.

Other people on this list have and will provide more explicit examples, but
I'd recommend a book so you can get some more foundation in Perl and ask
more specific questions.

My question to you is: How do you know which manager has logged on, and how do you continue to identify him throughout the session?

The last post referred to the login page, I had restricted access by user
role, the user is tracked by passing the Session.MM_username and
Session.MM_UserAuthorization

Should I be inserting Session.MM_Dealer_ID ??

The query should read WHERE a.Dealer_ID = "#Session.MM_Dealer_ID#"

I made presentation site in [url]http://www.geocities.com/dgcoders/[/url] .If you
looked at my site intro from netscape,it is not working correctly,but in
firefox,opera and IE ,it is working,I don not know why?.And there is a pop-up
menu in the right side,is there a way to block
that?Thnak you for help

[Lydia88]

I got an extension to alter the permission settings so I can create remote
folders. The directions are:

"This extension for Dreamweaver MX 2004, version 7.0.1, allows users to set
remote file permissions via FTP. To use this extension, select the file(s) in
the remote file list on which you wish to set permissions, then choose the "Set
Permissions..." menu item from the context menu."

I don't understand what this means... Am I supposed to just highlight
everything in the huge list of website files I have on the right side of the
dreamweaver window? How do I get to the context menu from there?

Thanks for any advice you can offer...
Lydia

[Nancy Gill]

I am not familiar with the extension you ask about .. but to get a context
menu .. right click in the interface.

[Not_a_techy]

:confused;
I am a great advocate of Contribute and used version 3 for some time but
noticed it was taking longer and longer to dowload pages. My developer
suggested upgrading to 3.1 and that's when the fun really began! Is it
possible that Contribute could slow down access to my site - in Contribute,
Dreamweaver and IE??? It only affects my conneciton to my site, other sites
are fine. But it is getting slower and slower to the point it is unworkable.
My IT people who do not know anything about Contribute have suggested
rebuilding my PC but I don't want to lose my profile and all my settings so am
trying not to go down this route........ does anyone have any suggestions? As
you can tell I am not a technically minded user.....!!!

[abna]

Do you have Dreamweaver? Maybe you could test updating your site there and see
if it is also slow. That might point to something being wrong with the code of
your site, rather than with the software. Also, are your site's files on your
computer, or are they on a network? Often it's slower to view files that are on
the network than files that are local or on the internet.

I don't actually have any answers of what to do in these cases, but it is
something to think about. Rebuilding your PC is a bit drastic.

[InquiringNewbie]

In evaluating Director MX 2004, I've imported a 3d world from 3DS Max, and have
used behaviors from the Behavior Library to move the camera (very nice and
straightfooward functionality). Now I'd like to add collision detection to the
camera.

I'd like to use the modelsUnderRay property so as to avoid having to enable
collsion detection for every object in the world, and because I understand that
collsion detection calculations slow everything down.

Here's my problem: I've tried a number of tutorials, none of which have
worked for me (some seem to have old code, etc.). How/where can I get a clear
walk-through of how to add the modelsUnderRay modifier? (For that matter, why
doesn't Macromedia just add some simple collision detect behaviors to the
Behavior Library?).

Sorry for posting such a newbie question, but any help will be greatly
appreciated.

[ionamerica]

I'm not exactly technical myself but if I saw gradually declining
performance--particularly during internet access, I would look for viruses,
spyware, adware, etc. Macromedia has an impressive programming team so I would
say the odds are against any blame lying with Contribute. Spybot is a free
adware scanner with an excellent reputation. (Visit
[url]http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/[/url]) Trend Micro also has a free
virus scanner which doesn't even require installation, and also does a fine
job. (Visit [url]http://housecall.trendmicro.com/[/url]). I recommend using both if your
IT people haven't taken equivalent steps. It's odd that you're seeing
declining performance on only your site: Maybe the problem is on the other end.

Here's another director 3D tutorial that covers colision detection.
