RE: FLASH: user interaction: big oversight

[Stuart Mayhew (Garanti Teknoloji)]

Hi Helen

Thanks for the advice but sadly I am a little lost when it comes to substrings and databases??????


 I do not quite understand please explain a little bit more, for example if the user choose intially blonde hair+curly+pink skin, but then chooses brown hair as a change then surely everthing else will disappear?? also, if you choose blond hair then choose curly how can I get the flash file to remember the blonde option has already been choosen???? so that it does not delete the previous choosen option in the list.(the options are hair colour *5 options, hair style*4 options, skin colour*4 options, glasses*2 options and a few others) 

Basically I am competely at a loss how this works


this is the HTML version

please tell me how this could be done in Flash step by step or at least so an idiot could see the process,  you sound as though you know you peanuts but sadly I do not and would appreciate your insight


thanks


Stuart

Hi Stuart.  Since you already have the database with the selections in

it, it sounds like you should combine relevant fields (maybe

concatenating things like hair and haircolor?) in the database to come

up with the frame name in a movieclip to tell target for the right

selection.  And about the letters in a circle on the clock,  I think

they're just individual one-letter textfields (or maybe textfields in a

movieclip, but they wouldn't have to be) that are rotated to the correct

angle around the clockface and then filled in with whatever the user

types into the textfield (using substring to get the individual

letters).


Regards,

Helen
