  1. 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.

  2. please dont. that would be far more annoying. the banner ads as they are is fine they arent too intrusive & hopefully the admins earn a bit to pay towards the bandwidth bill.
    Then you could do them globally in the footer (Like EXOCrew does or did when they had free hosting avail.)
  3. absolute is no worse than any other CSS attribute that doesn't render the same in all browsers. When floating divs margins and paddings add up differently in different browsers. Should we stop using float?That is why conditional comments exist. So you can adjuast things for IE.I use relative positioning 99% of the time when using position. I personally don't like absolute positioning but when used correctly it can be very useful.
    Well I usually wouldn't use conditionals (I'd use JS, because it seems more valid.) Also, the float element is pretty easy to see why it will and won't work. IE6 uses float elem. correctly just like IE7 does when used correctly.
    <div style="float:right">Right Content</div><div>Left Content</div>

    That will put the DIV with the float style to the right of the left content starting at the left content's border. Conversely you can use the below code to make it worse:

    <div>Left Content</div><div style="float:right">Right Content</div>

  4. Please stop telling people what to do. Position is a great tool and in some cases is neccesary. I use it allt he time to make IE conform to the way all other browsers do. The most like reason for you forming this opinion is because you admitted earlier that you do not use valid code. If you do not have valid code and no doctype then of course it will behave very oddly.
    position:absolute is one of the worst position elements you could use (Although he uses relative) for cross-browser support. For one thing, that designation of absolute will make it look different in IE and Firefox, so I never use the position elem. even with valid code.
  5. Use the htmlentities(); function. You can also use html_entity_decode(); to send a string that uses > to put it back into > when put back in HTML.For example:

    function unhtmlentities($string){   // replace numeric entities   $string = preg_replace('~([0-9a-f]+);~ei', 'chr(hexdec("\\1"))', $string);   $string = preg_replace('~([0-9]+);~e', 'chr("\\1")', $string);   // replace literal entities   $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);   $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl);   return strtr($string, $trans_tbl);}

    Putting the below code through the above function:

    <a href="#">Index</a>

    Returns:

    <a href="#">Index</a>

  6. Thanks, I had finished it yesterday, just like making a forumThe point here is <input type="hidden" ....:)
    The hidden form element is the most important part of form submission in scripts such as a forum. These tell the forum what you're posting from and where you're going to post in.
  7. SetCookieThe first question is easily answered, because GMT is the basis of the server more than likely.3.] If expiredays = null, then it also equals zero or false and/or not set (Hence why you run setCookie in the first place.)6.] After we figure out that there's no cookie set, we've got to set it to the appropriate time in GMT.

  8. I've two questions:1. When writing an XHTML document, should you start with a <?xml ?>-tag?2. I want to have a circle drawn on screen that changes colour when clicked. I don't want to use two images. How do I achieve this? (should I use <canvas>? or SVG? or is there another option?)
    XML tags are <? and ?> otherwise known as the "Short tags" for PHP. It's recommended that you start using the long-hand PHP tags in the first place anyway.
  9. Just wondering, why not go with flash 8 professional? over flashMX
    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.
  10. 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?
    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.)
  11. Oh yeah, I forgot. I'll bet that content-negotiation is out of the question here. For the <script> problem, use this:
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--document.write(news);//--></script>

    If that still doesn't work, take out the JavaScript comment tags. They are there to provide support for the older browsers apparently.As for the other problem, I don't know what you are talking about.

    Thanks, it works now. Nevermind about the wrapper, apparently IE6 took out the wrapper because it saw something funny.
