I’ve gone through the “using Flash and PHP” tutorial, and so far, everything’s ok…however, I do have some questions, if anyone could help.
I’m new to PHP…but have a developer handy…that is strong with it…however, he knows very little about Flash.
At any rate…I’m doing a site for a local TV Station…and they want News Headlines to load dynamically…daily…via PHP.
When following the tutorial, using a dynamic text box…converted to a movie clip, I’m having problems with scrolling text.
In other words, if the content is larger than the box…how can I handle that?
the scroller componet just is not working.
Also, orginally, the page that loads…is “highlights” that should be hyper links…that reference another PHP page…with the “full news story”.
<font> settings and such just aint working…
I hope I’m making sense…any help or suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.
Yes… It kinda makes sense to me but I can’t say nothing if you say ‘just aint working’… Maybe it will be better to serve you if you show us what you have gotten so far…
How to create dynamic text scrolling area when a php program
fills up the text box.
I know how to use the scoll bar componet…but it’s not working, either because the dynamic text field has been converted to a movie clip?..or something to do with loading the PHP.
How can we use an <A REF=""></A> tag so that we can “GET” the
parameters from the URL?
Example:
“A HREF=“news.php?newssys=1”>blah blah blah”
This is what I can tell you since you don’t have anything set up yet…
Why don’t you create a new movie that has a dynamic text field with the scrollbar attached to it, and have a button that will load a content of the text file into the dynamic text field…
Once you get that working with the scrollbar working properly, you can simply change the source from the text file to PHP script, which will be just one liner code…
