I'm using the code below in a frame script to add to an ongoing list. If the sound file finishes playing, then that frame label gets added to the list. However, after something is added to the list, a bunch of 0's are added to the list for some reason. Basically, a list that should be ["2"...

In my program, a user inputs his name into a field. When "enter" is clicked, a text file called "userName.txt" is created on user's hard drive. I want to make it so that next time the program is opened, it checks to see if "userName.txt" exists already. If it does exist, it will go to the...

Hi, I have a projector that includes a feature where you can print transcripts using the Printomatic Xtra. It works perfectly on every OS except for OS X. On OS X, it prints out a blank sheet with only the title. Can someone please help? Time is of the essence!! Thanks, Jon

My stage is 362x331. I imported a bitmap sequence directly onto the timeline. However, it places the bitmaps off-center. It actually hangs off the stage. How do I place the bitmaps center-stage without having to do it one by one. As you can tell, I don't work in Flash too much. Thanks, Manfishj

Thanks so much. That just saved me LOADS of time!

Hi, I'm using Flash 5. I've created a bitmap sequence that I have in the library. Is there any way to avoid placing each bitmap one by one into each frame? Is there a way to automatically have it brought to the timeline in sequence? Just checking. Thanks in advance. manfishj

Hi, Maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. I'm trying to build a Flash movie using a bitmap sequence that I exported from a Director movie. What approach would I take with this? Would I just put each bitmap in a separate frame or would I create a symbol or what? Any suggestions...

Hi, Does anyone know if there are any known compatibility issues between Director 8.5 and Flash MX? manfishj

Hi, I'm relatively new to Flash. My question is...does Flash(particularly MX) have a file size limitation? I'm working with a Flash movie that's a few hundred MB. It's doing all sorts of weird things---slowing down, bitmaps are taking on a reddish tint, etc. Please let me know if there is a...

Could you post this code for the bookmarks? It would be very helpful. Thanks. manfishj

Hi, I'm using the scrollByPage function to scroll a text field. What I need to know is....is there anyway, using Lingo, to tell which page of the text field is currently visible to the user? I need to know this in order to know how many pages to tell it to scroll. Any help would be...

Hi, I'm having trouble. The script below enables the user to input a word, then click a button which will search a scrollable text field and then highlight the occurrence of the word that the user typed in. What I need it to do is, if this word is on a part of the text field that is not...

Here's a question for ya... I've incorporated a button in my program that, when pressed, opens the Notepad application, so that the user can take notes. My question is...is there a way that when the user is done, he can save the notepad document as a cast member so that he can access it at a...
