I am trying to use the expression "Load list file" to load a specific .txt file that is in the same directory as the game into a dropdown list.

It works fine offline with the expression:
Load list file "Level1.txt"

But once the game is compiled to swf and uploaded, the dropdown list won't load the file, even though I put "Level1.txt" into the same directory online.

I tried uploading my txt file to different directories on my webspace, but that didn't help.
I also tried making the expression:
Load list file "Please login to see this link."
But that didn't work either.

Is there something simple I am missing here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick replies. I've been absorbing all the information I can on this forum, but I could not find a straight answer on "need a mac to compile". I admit it seemed pretty obvious.
Well I look forward to initial release at any rate. Seems like Clickteam is launching it with all the extensions I need. Hoo-rah.

I haven't seen this answered anywhere yet, so I'll go ahead and ask it. Will we need access to a Mac to complete the entire process of getting an app to the app store? And if so, is there any way around this? Thanks for any info in advance!

I have yet to find any more information on this yet.
All I can find is that the vitalize extension "used" to work when exporting to java (.jar) files. But it doesn't work anymore since the last update.

Does anyone have the missing file?

It says

"Impossible to save JAR file: the java version of the following extensions is missing:

Vitalize! Plug-in (kcplugin.mfx)

Install these extensions and then try again."

So I assume we'd need the java kcplugin file?

I found another thread about this problem, but that was back in March, and it doesn't seem like anyone found a solution to it then either.
I guess I am missing the kcplugin.jar file? If there even is one.
They were saying it might have been removed by accident in the most recent update?

Please login to see this link.

Has this been fixed? Or is there a way to download the vitalize java file?
Doesn't seem to be working after the new update.

When I try and export the app as a jar file I get the message,
"Impossible to save the JAR File: the Java version of the following extensions is missing:

Vitalize! Plug-in (kcplugin.mfx)

Install these extensions and then try again."

So it would seem that the Vitalize object does not work in java.
Is this correct? Can anyone confirm this?

I have already solved the login problem by using the "Call Function" with the Vitalize extension, as my previous post states.

I am now trying to find a way to build the application as a java app. I just need to find an extension that can do a "Call Function" like the Vitalize and Flash extensions, but work when exported to java.

Any further help?

I've further expanded my app, but I am still restricted to the Vitalize Plug-in. Is there any working java extension that can use the "Call Function"?
I know the Vitalize and Flash extensions can do "Call Function".
Any java ones?

So far the only solution I've come up with is to turn text objects into active objects.
You'd think this bug would have been worked out years ago.

I have seen this problem before.
Sometimes some of the text in my vitalized apps won't show up on certain computers.
All text shows up fine on my computer, but my roommate's computer will be missing text here and there (no matter what vitalize app I have him try).
There is no rhyme or reason to it either.
I've tried using different browsers, reinstalling the vitalize plugin...but nothing seems to fix this random invisible text bug on my roommate's computer.
Nothing fixes it short of turning all text objects to active objects or backgrounds.
Any updates or help on this issue?

I was able to solve my problem...but only when using Vitalize.
Basically I got rid of my entire php script and just used the Vitalize Plug-in's "Call Function". I added this small script right before I embedded the MMF2 app

<script type="text/javascript">
// Get user name
function GetUserName(){
return "{S_USERNAME}";
}
</script>

Since PHPBB3 uses templates and whatnot, it automatically changes {S_USERNAME} into the currently logged in username.

It works perfectly and the username is readily available to the MMF2 app.

The only problem I now face is if I can use this method by having my app as a java application.
Is there an extention other than Vitalize that can use the "Call Function"?

Now the Get Object seems to be working wonderfully...however I have a slight conundrum that I cannot seem to figure out.

I am using the Get object to pass the username from a currently logged in PHPBB3 message board to MMF2.

I am "getting" a php script and returning the echoed text.
However, it seems that the echoed text is not what I was expecting.

When I navigate to the php file on my server (once logged into the site) my username is echoed just fine.
However, I always receive the username of "Anonymous" with the Get object.
"Anonymous" is echoed when a user hasn't logged in.
Now normally I would just create a login system within the MMF2 application, but this certain application is embedded within the message boards and it needs to immediately have access to the username that is logged in.
My PHP script works perfectly...but I think using the Get object isn't passing along sessions/cookies.

Is there any alternative to the Get object that I could use to achieve what I am trying to do?
Possibly passing cookies from the current website to MMF2?

Got it to work...
It was simple enough to wrap my head around...
Dunno why I didn't think of that before.
Thanks mate!

Which event should I put the "Set current line to 0" into?
Have it set always? Or just once?

I am trying to submit names to a .ini file from within a game.
But I need to make sure that a name is not already on the list before it is submited.
I've tried having the list randomly select a different line every second, but that doesn't seem to work.
I just need to check that the names in a list object don't match a name being submited from an Edit Box.
Any help with this?

Might I have to do some php code to compare a Mysql database?
Or is there a way I can keep it all local and do it all from the event editor?
