On adding unique text to Marks: I’ve tried a few things in AS but no success as it’s being built dynamically and movie clip coming from library. Beyond me so far. If you have any suggestions, appreciated. I’ll keep working on it – thanks!

I’m still not able to add unique text to each Mark. Any suggestions on how this may be done? This is a feature that will make relevant the in progress goals on the way to final goal. This may be something simple I’m just missing…

Posted 7 months ago

It’s not simple. It would be if they were all going to be the same. example: 20 cats, 30 cats, etc… 20 cats, 30, dogs, 10 fish is tough. If you want that please contact me about custom work.

Hi there, How I can change the $ currency sign. I need € oder ?.

Thanks in advance

Regards Uwe

Just change it in the actionscirpt. You may need to embed that character. Thanks.

Would it be extremely difficult to add a form where an end user can enter a number and it would effect the thermometer in real time when they hit the submit button? ( for instance if you’re tracking a total time goal for a group, rather than currency)

Posted 5 months ago

Asorrelt, I am not sure. Email me for custom work.

Thanks.

Is there a way to enlarge the marks area of the thermometer? I have a $5,000,000 goal but the file is cutting off the numbers. Also, can I make the thermometer longer, so I can have more marks?

Thanks so much, it’s a great file!

Thanks sammie! Wow, huge goal. You can just make the text areas a little longer in the flash file. As far as making it taller goes, you can’t do it very easily. Sorry.

Thanks, I made the text areas a little longer, and it solved the problem, and it’s ok if I can’t make it taller. As for the goal - I believe in dreaming big! :)

I’m looking forward to more great files from you!

How would i go about modifying the currency symbol to be dynamically added via content in the xml file? like the rest of the text is, for easier multi currency use :D

Also where do i modify to change where the flah looks for the xml file?

Great flash absolutely love it,

Posted 4 months ago

also i wanted to ask when someone views the flash and then a few mins later they come back and the donation total so far may have changed but the flash is stillcached in the browser and the new values do not show without clearing the temp internet files and refesing the page

Even when you close the browser and re open the stuff is still the same

Is there a way to stop th xml file and falsh from being cached like this and the old content being used instead of what is currently in the file?

Regarding my earlier questin of making the script multi currency, editable from within the xml file itself

Managed to figure it out on my own i think, if you would like a copy to take a look at and maybe incorporate into uture versions feel free to pm me

Posted 4 months ago

me again lol

I noticed a kind of serious problem with the script, every time the current value of donations received is a number ending in 5 it des not display properly

So or example if a doation total so far was

340 it would display 340

if it was 348 it would dislay 348

BUT if it were 345 it would display 344

I have tested this wih various different numbers

What could be wrong?

Posted 4 months ago

even stranger it only seems tobe doing it in the 300 range as i tried 495 and 795 and 425 and tey all isplayed orrctly

Posted 4 months ago

to get incredibly secific i just ran some more tests and

305 315 325 335 all come up as 304 314 324 334 (the last one flickers 5 for a split second then goes back to 4)

345 is fine 295 is fine

I had it set with a goal of $1,000 and marker increments of $250 $500 $750

Posted 4 months ago

Strange. Email me and I’ll take a look.

Posted 4 months ago

Anyway you could make the file AS2 ?

Hi Dwynes, I don’t have any plans to make one for FD, but if you’d like some freelance work done, email me and I’ll give you a quote. Thanks!

I have a question. When the goal of 2,000,000 is reach or surpassed, why does it continue to run the animation and then the current dollar amount disappears? Shouldnt it stop and just display the value of the current amount?

Posted 3 months ago

cr0874,

Do you mind emailing me and showing me what you’re referring to? I wonder if the text box is too small for such a lofty goal.

hey im trying to reference the xml file reference from an exact web address. What do i have to do to this to make it work? At the mo

var xmlString:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“xml/thermometer.xml”); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlString);

I thought it would just a simple change to below but it doesn’t work.

var xmlString:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“http://www.website.com/xml/thermometer.xml”); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlString);

What must i do? Thanks for the help

Korero,

Flash has some strange permissions issues when it comes to calling an xml from another domain. I would create a php file on your domain that prints out the xml from the other domain and call that instead.

Hi ones i reach the current number how could i restart the animation?

Thanks a lot

Great Work

HI, Ive just purchased this component, but when i download, it says flashden_thermometer-goal-meter-xml_21690.mp3

Why is this in mp3 format?

Posted 2 months ago

This may be a naive question. I will ask anyway.

I would like to load thermometer.swf from a Flash 8 movie using loadMovieNum(“thermometer.swf”, 50);. There is no animation. A frind of mine tried with CS3 something similar and he does not get the animation. Can someone help on this?

Posted about 1 month ago

I notice that the question about caching of the xml file was never addressed. I too am having this same issue. I have to clear the Temp Internet Files every time I change the value. This is a major problem for me.

Please advise.

Thanks!
