S'okay check this out:
http://www.backwater-productions.net...?loc=got-noob?

But see you can change that end part
: got-noob?
to whatever text you like and it shows up.

Flash does this nifty thing where if you add a GET variable onto it,
it'll automatically be loaded into the Flash file as a variable.

Kinda like nyah:
: hello.swf?variablish=hooha

So you would get a variable called "variablish" and its value would be
"hooha".

But then how am I getting it from teh URL since it's loading a PHP
file and not a straight SWF file? Tres simple:
: <?php $value = $_GET["loc"]; ?>

Add that up at the very top of yer HTML file and then just rename it
from whatever.html to whatever.php

Then, just add nyah to yer SWF src url:
: src='main.swf?value=<?php echo $value; ?>'

The first line of code at the top takes the GET variable from the url
and assigns it to a variable called "$value", the second line of code
adds that variable onto the SWF file's src url location.

So now yer thinkin, "Wow...that's great...er...what can I use it for?"

Indexing!

Like, let's say you wanna go to my site, but you want to go to the
video editing section. All I have to do is setup my SWF file to check
the variable and if its value is say "video", then you can set it up
to automatically jump to the video section, thus simulating an
indexable site.

But now yer probably think, "Well that's great Hat, but what if it's
teh persons first visit and they want to bookmark a particular
section, how the heck are they gonna know what yer variables values
are?"

They don't have to!

Just reload the SWF file!

Make your navigation buttons like nyah:
: getURL("index.php?loc=video","_self");

Since the SWF file is already loaded into their browser cache it'll
reload instantly and go directly to the right section with the URL
changed.

And THAT my friends is how you create an indexable Flash site.

You can also use that other method where you create a whole bunch of
separate index files and reload different SWF files into each one but
uh...well that'd be a heck of a mess, would require a LOT more work
and you would wind up with a significant level of BLOAT.

Also note, named anchors give a similar functionality. You can navigate
with http://www.mysite.com#index .. all you need is to set your frame labels
an anchors, and use the appropriate HTML. SWiSHmax will generate the
appropriate HTML for you if you use named anchors, in Flash you have to
select the appropriate template in your publish settings.

Named anchors do have a problem if your movie jumps about within the scene
timelines .. its really only suitable for linear main timelines (but you can
loop and jump about as much as you want in movieclips/sprites.

They have an advantage that they require no code in you FLA/SWI file to
implement.

Passing parameters, you goofball. Durrrr. It's called a 'query string'.
It's just another way to pass data to the server side program. If you're
not submitting that data via post and get requests, you're passing it
that way. ?is the start of the string, and you can pass more than one
parameter, which is why you see big long strings of
blah=woof&woof=yourmom&soOn=andSoOn etc. etc.

Yeah dude, mystical and magical.

*shrugs*

I've said it before, I'll say it again and I'm sayin it now...yer a
fuckin retard, Junior. I mean since you started your failing efforts
at getting some kind of a degree in web development you've manage to
only produce ONE single site that looked like some fuckin 1996
throwback, best viewed in Netscape 2.0 with a 256 color display at a
640x480 res.

You sure do run the fuck at the mouth a lot though. Perhaps if you
spent LESS time snitting over what *I'M* doing (which is actually
producing websites) maybe you could manage to shit out somethin new.
Simply put, you are NOT going to learn anything by just slurping up
bullshit out of textbooks that you OBVIOUSLY don't even comprehend.
Ya need to get off yer stupid ass and start doin some work (and the
same goes to Mara if she ever wants to be anything more than a joke).
I mean take my GOD LEVEL skill in web design, it didn't magically shit
itself out one day, I had to WORK AT IT, for YEARS. Hell ten years
ago THIS is what my sites looked like:
http://www.backwater-productions.net...nity_now_site/
(best viewed in IE with a res of 800x600)

Obviously I've made a few advancements since then. o_O

But I DID NOT get to the level I'm currently at:
http://www.backwater-productions.net/care-bears/

By wasting my time reading books (outside of reference manuals). And
I sure the fuck didn't learn shit when I was in college, despite their
'nationally renown technology programs' (in fact most of what they
taught was either out of date, irrelevant, ie ColdFusion or completely
fucking wrong).

In any case, you reminded me -

There's this guy who lives down the street from me. He's had a light blue
Karman Ghia shell on a flatbed trailer attached to his pickup truck for
like four years now. In that time, he's done NOTHING! I see his truck
parked occasionaly at the stores and other places around town. Every
Tuesday - street sweeping day - he parks it a block away to as not to get
a ticket.

About a year ago, someone egged the car (shell) and since then there's
been this egg stain all over the rear.

Personally, I think that's a crime. Karman Ghia's while never VW's
finest contribution to excellent running vehicles, are beautiful cars.

I say that because I've had two friends (at different times in my life)

Still, they *are* beautiful cars. : )

Have you ever considered asking him if you could buy it from him?? At

You know, I have thought about it. Especially condisering I pass by the
blasted thing every morning on my way out to work. My brother-in-law's
godfather had a Ghia until he died a few years back. Nice little car.

Now - as I've mentioned to Rev - I cannot drive a Beetle because I can't
shift the gears. I'm 6'4" and my knees simply don't fit behind the
steering wheel to operate the clutch. I wonder if that wouldn't be a
problem with the ghia. I used to be able to drive my dad's MGB without a
problem because it was much more - erm - flat. Unfortunately, he ended up
having some midlife crisis and traded his convertable sports car in for a
Nissan Sentra. Go figure. I think he drives a Sebring now.

I've been trying to decide what car to get my kids, though. I want them to
"own" a car that I can enjoy for ten or so years until they can actually
drive it. I know they both like VW's. My younger one, though, will get a
Jeep CJ7 into which I plan to put a small block diesel Cummins. I'll
start on that project in a few years. :P

Of course you don't. That's because you're a knucklehead.

Yeah, I mean why have flash just take care of passing things within the
program when you can put all your variables in a query string and pass
it via url, right?

Yeah geenyus, guess that would be why I mentioned it.

Or you could learn how to import something, put of your worthless flash
files into a package, and just import the package. Which you could then
access in one convienent spot via relative url. No indexing required.

As opposed to your site which isn't viewable at all if you don't have
flash installed and is chock filled of useless, worthless crap.

Your quote thingy isn't that special. I coded something similar in
javascript a friggin' year ago. Oh, and someone could just put it in
wherever they wanted in their page. It's not hard dude.

And the reason you're not hearing about me coding a lot of sites is 1)
Nobody's asked me code a site, the gig I've got going is coding a gui
app in vb.net, which is a free project that I'm doing. 2) I'm going to
school and working 2 jobs, which doesn't leave a lot of time to to work
on just whatever.

Blah blah blah. Save your verbal diarrhea for someone who gives a shit
