um…doesn’t sound like you know the basics, then how would you be able to create a guestbook so complex? Do a search, you need to know php…

Pare i-check mo ang mga tutorials ng PHP. Kung makuha o na papaano gawin ang guest book sa HTML madali nalang gawin was Flash ang pag load ant send ng variables lang problema mo. Merong mga tutorials din dito site about PHP, MySQL and Flash to work together. Goodluck!

Uy! Filipino! Pre, Hayop and dessign mo ah! galeng Professional na professional.  
Matanong kita, kelangan ba talaga ang PHP, My SQL, para maka gawa ka ng guestbbok sa Flash?

Sensya na Pre ha, wala talaga akong alam sa webdesign. Nag aaral ako pero hindi naman tungkol sa webdesign, kung baga part lang ang webdesign. Most of the time ang taget namin businesses na boring naman walang kwenta.

Ni HTML nga eh diko lam gamitin. Lalo na yung tinatawag nilang JavaScript. Tapos ngayon naman PHP, My SQL. \*\*\*\*! kelan pa kaya ako matututo neto??

Eh pano kung yung Guestbook eh Readymade na, i a-attached mo nalang sa site mo, pano gawin yun?

Pre, pwede kapa rin maka gawa ng guestbook ng walang gamit na MySQL database… You can save guestbook entries directly to a textfile I think there is a very nice tutorial about that at [www.Flashkit.com](http://www.Flashkit.com). Ready na ang lahat doon. You only have to customize the interface.

also try [www.hotscripts.com](http://www.hotscripts.com)

Goodluck!

The menu system you are trying to make, like the example you metioned, is only done through tweens using a faster FPS(ei.36) and images instead of vectors.

Kung e-books naman, i-try mo sa kazaa marami don! 😉

hey! i know you guys are experienced Flash user. Can you help me with my prob plz!

I wanted to have an Intro animation to the site I am constructing. On the main movie, i have 3 scenes. 1st scene is for preloader, 2nd scene is for the Intro Animation and Finally 3rd scene for the main movie.

My questions is this;

Is this the right way of doing it? or there’s another better way?

and finally… will Flash follow the correct sequence of playing the movie from scene 1 to scene 3?

thanks in advance guys! your help are always appreciated.

Note: I am a Flash Newbie. So kindly explain it clearly plz! Treat me as dummy if you have to 😉 cheers!

woooh =)  
that is still okay…but if you what lessen the loading time, i suggest you break your scenes into different movie and dynamically load them…

…and yes… flash loads them on order… the first scene on your movie will be the first one flash will play… the rest is dependent on your script, that is, if your movie flow is nonlinear…

Hmmmm… so you suggest on creating diff. movie clips and load them. I think thats wot exactly i did.

On the 3rd scene (this is where my main movie is) i have an empty movie clip i called (placeholder). then my diff movie clips load onto it when the buttons click.

I done the loading bit, by following some tutorials as I am a flash newbie and don’t know much about on using flash.

Accroding to them use the following code to load a movie onto your empty movieclip. i called mine placeholder so here it is.

on (press) {  
\_root.placeholder.loadmovie(“home.swf”);  
}

i cant remember the exact code but its something like that.

Now… if i create an external intro animation which i want it to load on scene 2 (this is where i want the intro animation sits), what code do i need to use? is it gonna be thesame thing or not?

thanks man!

</div>

yes you are right… still same  
just replace…  
on (press) {  
\_root.placeholder.loadmovie(“home.swf”);  
}  
with  
on (press) {  
\_root.placeholder.loadmovie(“intro.swf”);  
}  
…anything that is currently in the placeholder will be replaced with any movie you loaded to it… say, intro.swf is already load then you press a button where it loads your home.swf, flash will replace intro.swf with home.swf…

for best result you call a preloader function that let’s the user see the status of your loading movie.

ok thanks, i’ll try that. but obviously i wanted to have a "skip"button so that if the user dont want to see the animation they can just move on to the main movie.

what code do i use? is it just gotoAndPlay next scene? or something?

thanks in advance man! i really appreciate your help.
