Your Connection Checkers
One of the great features of a Flash Projector file is that it loads movies and
variables not only from your hard drive, but also from the web. When you need
to talk to a web server to retrieve or update data, Flash has the ability to use
the GET and POST command to update data on websites. But if users are not connected
online then the data will not be sent or retrieved. Uh-oh. This is why we created
JNetCheck. With this JTool, you can check to see if the user is online or not,
all from one simple command.
This is extremely useful as you can then choose not to run a certain command if
the user is not online, and message them to connect to the Internet. Once run,
JNetCheck displays the connection status (True or False) in a text file which
you can load into Flash as variables. What you do after that is totally up to
you. You could...
 |
Display the connection status in a field
|
|
Submit details if the user is online
|
|
In a game, publish high scores to the web (with the use of CGI or ASP scripting)
|
|
Work with proxy servers
|
JNetCheck & all FlashJester products support
Flash 3/4/5/MX/MX 2004/8 & Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
Easy as 1 >
2 > 3
JNetCheck is one of our easiest JTools to use and can be setup in a matter of
minutes.
 |
| Put an FSCommand to launch JNetCheck. When
it runs it will write the connection status to a text file ... |
|
 |
... which you then load in using the load
variables command...
|
|
 |
... and then use the variable however you
wish!
|
|
However, if you do have any problems, there is a full help file showing you a
detailed step by step.
One copy
You will only need one copy of JNetCheck to create several links from a Flash
file because JNetCheck, like all JTools, uses parameters.To set up these command
line parameters, all you will need is a text editor. Once you register, you will
receive a FREE copy of JHelpor to help you set up the command
line quickly and simply. For more information about JHelpor, click here. |

Slug - Darrin
Everyone needs a slug on his or her screen, so we can thank Darrin for that. Check out the fullscreen motion, where all the movements are controlled via actionscript. Jugglor adds a transparency to it and the midi file. See how well the slug moves even though it's in fullscreen - that's the power of Jugglor v2.
Tools used - Jugglor v2 Pro

 Just want to share with others how your J-Start program saved the day for me.
This is my third year placing the conference proceedings for the Florida Water Resources Conference onto CD in a book form. I use quite a few programs to do this (Flash, Illustrator, Photo Shop, MS Word, Adobe Acrobat and a few others). Last year I decided to use a flash movie to open up the CD. I had previously used Astound and was surprised to find that Flash cannot open a PDF. I had to call Flash tech support and ended up writing a quick Director file to do this (with the help of their tech support).
This year I thought, "No Problem. I will just give the new file the same name as the old one, put it in the same relative place and it will work." NOT! After finding I would need to pay for a tech support call to Director I got online and found J-Start. As mentioned, I already have Director, but don't really use it and comparing the "one-time" cost for tech support to the purchase of your program, I decided to "go with the the Jester". The learning curve was not too intimidating and the one email I sent with a question was answered quickly.
Thank you for giving me a quick and functional answer to my dilema with J-Start. The Proceedings on CD was very well accepted and I have been asked to carry on with the project next year.  |
