My site is in serious need of assistance!

Hey, the site is http://www.munkys.com here is the problem. If you go there you will see an attractive looking site (i hope!) yes yes yes, i know it lacks content. THATS THE PROBLEM! I run my own linux server so I just like to update the html files normaly. Since I redid the site I have been trying to figure out a good method of display the central box as a full fledged browser. Right now all I have is a textbox with a custom made scroll bar that load the text from .txt files as variables. It sucks!!! The tags work like crap and formatting looks as bad as windows runs :-p I need to find a way to get HTML to display in perfection, and if possible not something I will worry about, but I wanted to have my forum (php) be displayed in the same box.

Please help me, this could lead to metal stress…i’m already spending too much time on this, (and the funny part is its not for a client just me!)

your right it does suck!:crazy:

any suggestions other then egging me on to uninstall flash?
lol

not really, I my self stick with HTML for whole sites like this for instance!

Well, your site just needs work. You can not get you forums to get there. Flash only supports basic HTML. Font tags like < B > < i > and < U > or link tags. It can’t support PHP files. so your forum will have to be on a different page.

fine, can i get it to just display it in a scrollplane or something…ANYTHING! I need this to work!

otherwise, without doing too much work…what do you think i should do?

the forum? No it can not be displayed in Flash. It has to be put on a seperate page.

forget about the forum now, just the html to be displayed propery, i mean so i can use css and have the link’s color change when hovered

no. it uses only basic basic basic HTML tags.

MEH!!

?? :q: :q: :q:

Jubba- how do u update your news and info on your really cool lookng site?! :slight_smile:

Well i haven’t updated anything in a while, but I am using PHP and mySQL to update everything and then using LoadVars to load in the new information.

if i use php somehow is there a way i can get it to load the html document?

or

perhaps javascript that cna do it?

You can’t load an HTML document into Flash. You can load in text in the form of variables and then send those variables to a text box. but that is pretty much it. What I would do is call the variables from a text file and then just update the text file when you want to change something.

how about displaying links? they come out like crap

yeah i know. :frowning: ummm let me take a look at something and I’ll be right back with what I find.

btw if it can help, here is the link to the .fla and i too will bbs

Ok, well from looking at your file I am going to say this.

Stop. Step back from making your site. Do some tutorials to learn more advanced things, and then go back to this file and then you will know how to fix it.

start with learning how to target movie clips.
