View 4 RepliesI have created a Flash banner ad for our company that is to be hosted on another website. This banner ad needs to have a link added to it, within the Flash file. This link will take users straight to our website but is also for the purpose of tracking.How do I go about adding the URL? I have searched through these forums but cannot get it to work.I am using Flash CS4 (selected to use AS 3 when I first created the file.)
From what I have read and understood, I should create a new layer, and then add the code to the first frame on that layer?Exactly what code should I use? I tried something as simple as 'getURL("http://www.celonova.com","_self"); ' but that is not working. Is it bcos that is for AS 2 only? My last question is...can I set up the link so that it works for ALL frames?

How can I convert this swf file into link? Im trying to achieve it with flashVars so I've added something like that:
<param name=FlashVars value="targetURL="http://example.com/">
But what's next? Can I make a link from this .swf file without having .fla?

View 3 RepliesI want to make it so that when I click anywhere on the embedded Flash element, it takes me to a destination URL.
Here is my current code, which does not produce the desired effect:
<div class="contentdiv" style="margin:-72px 0 10px 0px; cursor:pointer;" onclick="location.href='http://example.com/';">
<object height="410" width="720">

Right now it is making the space behind the .swf file clickable for the link, but the Flash element is not clickable.
If the right thing to do is to edit the .swf file somehow, I don't consider myself a Flash developer, but are there any resources on where to get started or how to do something this basic with an existing .swf file?
How can I make a link to my Flash file?
Like an image, I can do it like this:
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com"><img src="imagefile.png" /></a>
I've tried to put <a></a> around the Flash HTML code, but it does not work.
EDIT: I found a solution. I've just put some JavaScript into the code.
I want to make a button within my flash page that when clicked will allow the site viewer to download a .rar file. how would this be achieved? Would I simply use a URLRequest and Loader?

I have created a movie clip, called it data link, then I tried applying different scripts to get the mc to link to a web page defined in the XML. But I always get undefined, I have searched for a solution, but nothing seems to work.
I am trying to link my gallery made in flash (and published in html), to link to the rest of my homepage made in html. I have seen several example about how to link from a flash buttom to a new URL, but what I need is to link to a local html file.
First. Which are the codes to use to link from my gallery "galeria.html" to the rest of my homepage?
second. Where should I place my files: galeria.fla ,galeria.swf ,galeria.html. Should all they stay in the same directory
how to create the portfolio page. What I have is a flash element within an HTML page that displays the current work. The work is loaded from a XML file. I wanted the capability of changing the XML file in order to have the flash element load different pieces of work. I would like to have the links to make this change in HTML, but I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm wondering if I'm just going to have to expand the flash element and have the links to change the XML file within the flash file itself.

I'm working on an entirely flash-based site for a client who has already been using Blogspot for his News/Homepage updates. He wants to continue updating through Blogspot, but wants the blog to automatically fill in the text box on the flash site Homepage. I'm not sure if this is possible, or how I would go about doing it.
Here is the blogspot page: [URL]
Here is an example of what the scrolling SWF text box will be like: [URL]
I think there are probably three options:
Load the link in as a flashvar and allow the Flash to open the URI
Load the link into the Flash file using AJAX/AJAH and allow the Flash open the URI
Just have the Flash file call a Javascript function that opens the URI
Is one of these methods better than the other(s)?
I'm working in a CMS, so each method requires a different process to edit/control the link. In #1, the editor needs to open the Flash node and add the path to a flashvar. In #2, the editor just needs to add the path as an anchor with a specific ID to a page (or XML). In #3, the paths could be stored in many different ways. The links aren't known when the Flash files are created, so they can't be embedded in the Flash. Is there a performance/efficiency/compatibility/good reason to use #1 over #2 or #3, etc?
I followed the tutorial "ActionScript 3 XML Basics" but it left out how to add the link from the xml file to the text area of flash. Does anyone know the actionscript code to do this?[code]

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create Flash video for usb drives sold to customers with their pictures on it. After the video plays, can I have a link to a local folder, IE: named YOUR_IMAGES on the drive, and have that folder open on their machine when clicked? Or is there to many variables with what what the drive letter name that will be assigned on customers machines? So there will be the same .SWF on every drive sold, then a folder named the same thing with the customer pics on it.

Is there any way of showing a link's destination from a swf in the browser? The answer might be a simple no. Hard to explain, so I have attached a screenshot that makes it clearer.

View 3 RepliesI want to get an idea on how the majority of people structure the flash websites they make.First, do most of you actionscripters, when creating a website, use a parent movie that holds the sites navigation and an embedded blank movie clip to load individual content pages? I get the feeling that is true because it saves a lot of space in your swf file.
That was the easiest question. Next, when you create a transition effect to keep the viewer occupied between loading different pages, how do you usually go about this?Assuming you have a blank movieclip in the main SWF to load individual page content.Do you have a movieclip animation that is called in the main SWF that is a layer above or masks the container movieclip which is loading the external content? Or, do you have the transition in the actual content SWF, with a transition in effect, midframe with the content, then transition out effect.
It seems the second choice might be a little more repetitive, but maybe a little more simple, then again, maybe not.My last question is not actionscript but javascript.I want to load my flash file from a link on an html page that launches a new window that is perfectly sized around the flash movie, with none of the menu bars and that works on windows(ie, netscape, opera) and MACs.As a secondary, if its possible,I would like to have the flash movie pop up into the center of the screen, right now it pops into the top left corner.Here is the script I have. It works for PCs with IE, but a friend that looked at it on her MAC had to resize the window:
Code:
<A HREF="" onClick="window.open('flashmovie.html', 'newWnd',
'width=750,height=400'); return false;">Try this</A>
The flash.html is the automatic html page that flash publishes your SWF file.
I got my HTML embedded in my flash file, finally!But now I want some parts of the text that is in the HTML file to link to a specific label in flash itself.What variable can I use for this? or even a Href link?
