So we have some web-based training that we are making. Using CS4 to publish to Flash 7 and then the page is running in IE 6. (Got to love them corporate policies!) We have some resource documents for the users to download. Usually we make them pdfs and use getURL() and the files work just fine. However, this time we have a file that we want to keep as a .doc type. The code is:

View 3 RepliesTrying to set up a getURL to link to a local htm file, NOT a page on the internet. All the tutorials I have read tell me how to link to a file on the internet I'm trying to set up an intranet site for my training college where students can access training resources etc on the local network. Therefore my getURL needs to point to a local file, not one on the internet. I'm trying to link to a .htm file that resides on my computer. Does the htm file have to be in the same folder as the .fla file?? How do I do this?? I'm working on a Mac, Os X, MX 2004, if that makes any difference.
View 1 RepliesI'm stuck with defining a getURL function while loading an external XML file.
I have a Flash AS2.0 file and I've made it CMS driven. The content for everything in the SWF file is loaded from an XML file which resides on the same server. I've defined all other XML variables and I'm able to successfully parse them inside a holder MC I have in my Flash file. Some of the many variables I have are name, caption, thumbnail img, large img, etc... I've also defined the XML file with a 'Link' that points to a URL relative to each image it loads.
I'm unable to define the function in Flash to retrieve the URL from 'Link' parsing value stored in my XML file.
I tried defining a function called getLink in actions layer of my Flash file:
getLink = function () {
getURL('Link[ID]','_blank');
};
The ID is loaded in the beginning of the Flash file - based on the number of values available in XML file. All other functions work, except this getURL function.
I need to have a button load it's GetURL() deal from an external file. XML? Txt?
View 2 RepliesIs there a work around to the getURL Firefox issue? I am having trouble getting Firefox to open my file from my exe when FF is set to my default browser. If FF is already open, the getURL functions fine. If FF is closed, I have to click on my button twice in order to open the file (ie, click once opens a blank window, click again and the file opens) I have FF 2.0.0.1, Flash MX 2004 Prof. I have tried setting an interval to have the getURL fire again but I can't seem to get it to work.

I did a quick search to find how to load a swf into an already playing swf with a getURL action. Is this possible? Like loading a jpg but I want to load a swf. Does that make sense?Say I have an empty mc in my swf and want to call a swf from an absolute address, like
getURL ("http://www.subquark.com/projects/demoA.swf", myEmptyMC);
I have not tried it yet 'cause I'm at work (no flash here) but I was talking to someone . . . about creating a logo once and then just calling it from one location (site by subQuark). That way I only need to update it in one place for html sites (as I do now) or for all flash sites (which I do per site now).
