THanks! ___I should have added if there is any tutorials that have information how to use phpMyAdmin with MySQLI have a book that shows just MySQL and how to use the "executable" where you type the SQL code by hand, But I have a site hosted by yahoo and I do not know how to use the MySQL executable with it.(but they have phpMyAdmin already installed for me)

The reason why mine looks very hard is because I included two tutorials, one for Flash MX and one for Flash 8.Flash MX has a hard time tweening text, and thus several methods could be used for it to tween properly.

DId i say yours looks hard? I did not even view it. and of course there is more than one method and that is why I will post my own.

I didn't have Flash 8 until later in life, so I had to go years without it due to money issues. So it could be the same problem. By the way, Macromedia no longer is in existence, and Adobe has no plans on re-making Flash 8 for use in Creative Suite, hence why the Macromedia Suite is still high priced.

I was asking the poster, not you. whats with you anyway?and by the way poster you can get an Education version of flash 8 (professional) for around 240 which is not high priced for flash.also I know adobe owns rights to flash now.by the way flash 8 and flash 8 professional are 2 different programs.

I already put up a link to a textfile attached to my board for making a rather nice preloader (The same kind used in Homestarrunner, which makes the movieclip do the work.)

Okay, but I am still going to post one I use, that is very easy.

First stop, avoid posting two posts in a row like that... it doesn't seem right, [/url] page.

if you look at the times of the "2 posts in a row" there is a time period inbetween. I thought about the second post while I was BBQing my dinner. I really dont apreciate your aditude it would have been better if you did not reply at all.and of course there is information on CSS and I have read and even experimented with some of it. I was asking that poster who told me because it was a little weird that he would say learn "CSS" when I was asking about doing things you would need to use databases and server language for.

If anyone knows a good book or website with tutorials on how to get started using MySQL I would appreciate the info.thanks.

Hey guys,I recently started using flash. I have created a flash movie to be the 'intro page' for my website ok.It was grand making the flash movie, but I have been trying to figure out exactly how to embed the flash movie intoa html page and make it the first page visited when someone goes to my website domain.Basically this is what I have done so far . . .1. I uploaded the .swf file into my web folder.2.1 I created a html page in the web folder, put what I believe to be the relevant 'embedding' html into the html page.2.2 I also made the .swf into a html page from the flash program and made that the html page in the web folder.3. But when I go to my domain, it won't play the flash page.Can anyone who actually does this and knows it well, please tell me how to exactly and properly go about it.I know from experience that there must be a basic enough process to follow to achieve this goal !I hope to resolve this asap as I need to get my site going !Thanks,J.D.P.S. This is the html I embedded incase ya wanna know...******************************************************************************************<!-- Created with CoffeeCup Firestarter http://www.coffeecup.com --><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"ID=Intro master file WIDTH=1050 HEIGHT=650><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Intro master file.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false><EMBED src="Intro master file.swf" loop=false quality=highWIDTH=1050 HEIGHT=650 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED></OBJECT>**************************************************************************************************

Make a flash file, go to file > publish preview > htmlwhen the page opens right click and go to view source - copy and paste the <object> code all the way to the </object> and paste it on your page.

I was surfing around, and found this site: http://authoravenue.com/ I like the animated logo at the top left hand side of the screen that says Author Avenue. I'm not interested in the light lighting up, but the way the letters appear. Is this Flash, or Java Script? How the heck to I create something like that? Thanks to all who respond.

yes it is a very basic flash animation. first get a flash program 8) learn how to do tween motion and you will be able to do that.

I will post how to make a preloader for you soon, I am not on the right computer right now. I cannot view my flash files.but I had a question, did you make your seperate pages as different scenes? or are you loading movies for each link?

okay I am home.here is the working php file. (my form had name / message /and email fields.<html><head> <title>Untitled</title></head><body><? $to = "email@domain.com"; $subject = "subject"; $msg = "name\n$name\n\n\n\n"; $msg .= "message\n$message\n\n\n\n"; $msg .= "email\n$email\n\n\n\n"; mail($to, $subject, $msg);?></body></html>(By the way the \n's in that php file mean nothing more than a <br> tag in html. it is just a breakline, if you dont know what <br> is its just like pushing enter and going to the next line when you are typeing in a text file.)--------in flash give your textfields variable namesand on your submit button add this actionScript:on (release) { loadVariablesNum("phpfilename.php", 0, "POST");}also either "GET" or "POST" will work.hope this helps! -AstralAaron

it is very simple actually, I will post a working php program to go with the flash forms(when I get home). I just recently learned to do the exact same thing you are doing.alot of the tutorials on the internet you will find have errors and will just fustrate you.

Ive created a navigation bar in flash for my website that makes a little beep noise when you click one of the buttons. the thing is, most of the time the noise is cut down due to the page loading the one that you click on, even though the noise is only about .4 of a second long.does anyone know of a way i can get the sound to play all the way through before the next page is loaded?

use movie clips instead of button symbols(movie clips can work as buttons also). at the end frame of the sound use an actionscript to load the next page.

Just wondering, why not go with flash 8 professional? over flashMX

First, learn CSS.

thanks for the reply, what can CSS do for me?

You have really high ambitions. I suggest you slow down a bit.

Also, I did not expect to be able to do all of this right away obveously. I was asking what direction I need to work towards to do all of this.

Hello everyone First what I have learned is of course HTML, and I am in a class at the local community college learning Flash 8. But I would like to get into more advanced website design and be able to create shopping areas where people can use their credit card directly from my websites to purchase items, or to become members of the website and have access to member areas. I would like to be able to create forums like this one we are all typeing on also. and have webcamsThere are so many different languages and people are all telling me different things. some people are telling me learn php/mySQL - and others tell me mySQL is terrible and to learn microsoft access then from there go to SQL - some tell me dont use PHP and instead use ASP and ive heard about some program called PHPNUKE - then someone tells me to use JAVA APPS instead of writeing my own code..(I would really like to understand the code I am useing and would want to be able to write it myself) all this different information makes it so I do not know who to believe and which direction to work toward.I came across this website and It looks like there are alot of very smart people that post here and i would really appreciate your opinions! thank you-Aaron
