I'm having a serious problem with Macromedia Flash MX. I need someone else with a mac to try this out:- The problem is so fundamental that it's easy to reproduce it. First create an animation in a few frames - for example, motion tween a shape between frame 1 and 5. In the last frame -...

Thanks Tigger, That's a good lead - I can see that I'll be spending some hours exploring the Flash Kit WEB site. Daniel

I need a few leads to put me on the right track for this. I have MacOS X. I have Flash MX. I have (and can program) Perl, and I have mySQL. The Flash manual tells me that it's possible to get Flash actionscript to link to a server CGI script which talks to a database. I'd love to try...

It works! The world is my oyster. And I know where to find my error diagnostics now. Thanks guys - you cracked it while I was asleep here on the other side of the world. Daniel :)

Actually, I left nothing to chance and did:- sudo chmod 777 mytest.cgi This isn't the problem. The error I got mentioned a log file. Do you know where this would be? Daniel

Thanks for that - but this is all new to me and I probably need to be guided a step at a time. (sorry) This is as far as I got:- I tried enabling WEB sharing, later, I also tried starting up apache:- sudo apachectl start I put the following file in...

Thank you, I'll have a read and a play around with this stuff. I'm also investigating XML for passing information around, as Flash 5 has lots of instructions for this. Daniel

I feel a little apprehensive about putting my ignorance on display to the bunch of experts in this forum. Please forgive my question if my assumptions about this stuff are naive, there may be holes in my logic, or perhaps I haven't got the hang of the terminology. I'm a quick learner...

I see that I've had 3 viewings but no replies to my query. I apologise if my question was stupid, or if I got any of the termanology wrong - but I'm new, and mostly ignorant about the server side of things. Please tell if if the way I phrased my question made no sense. I just need some...

I went for Ask a volunteer because I thought perhaps this question was too specific - but maybe not. Feel free to make this thread public if you think others may benefit. I've just bought OS X (10.1) because I wanted to get into developing server-side code. The included documentation is...
