Hatton, why not just use an AS alert for your informational screen? You
could put it in a faked-out onload of the cfform.

I just want to make it perfectly clear that I have cold stolen this idea
from Philippe Maegerman's load movie work here: http://tinyurl.com/87y8o

You can use this to pop up a flash alert box on loading the cfform. I
would think you could work with it and format it so that it meets your
needs and would look quite spiffy to boot!

<!--- LOADMOVIE --->
<cffunction name="onLoad" output="yes">
<cfsaveContent variable="myOnLoad">
alert('what up yo? I think this is a great way to throw up some nice
welcome text...','Welcome');
</cfsavecontent>
<cfreturn myOnLoad>
</cffunction>
<!--- /LOADMOVIE --->

<cfform format="Flash" height="175">
<!--- ONLOAD TRIGGER --->
<cfinput type="text" height="0" width="0" name="test_hidden"
onchange="#onLoad()#">
<cfinput type="Hidden" name="test_trigger" height="0" width="0"
bind="{(test_hidden.text == '') ?
test_hidden.dispatchEvent({type:'change'}) : ''}">
<cfinput type="button" name="test" value="Confirm"
onclick="alert('Confirm please...','WARNING',YES|NO);" />
<!--- /ONLOAD TRIGGER --->
</cfform>

Subject: SOT: Hiding a Flash Form

I have a large flash form that is being used to update information for
one of my clients.  They have just asked for a "informational screen"
to be added before the form is displayed and I'm wondering if there is
a way to use positioning and layers to do this...

The idea that I had was to have a div (?) that layers over the flash
itself.  Then the onclick of the button would make the div invisible.

In doing this, I have two questions - first is whether or not a DIV
can be layered over a flash movie.  The second is if it's worth it to
try and do this?

Ideas?

Hatton
