I have created two buttons from images, one to Facebook and one to LinkedIn.They both work perfectly in the test .swf file.When I upload them to my server, the Facebook button does not load correctlyThis is the actionscript I am using:
facebook.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/pages/Express-Yourself-Photo-Booth/16208587053 4628","_blank","GET");

Looking for a tutorial to make individual pages (jpg or gif) into swf pages so we can add links in an on-line flip book. I have flash, but have not learned as of yet.

I was wondering how do I make a link to a new page from a page that has already been played onto the stage. The pages are made from movie clips, and the buttons are also movieclips. So for example, I click on about us from the menu bar, and the page animates on, and within that page is another link to go to another page. I just cannot get it to work. All the pages that I have are made from movie clips.
View 9 Replies[URL] On the left you will see a menu, it will be flash (actionscript MX 2004) and for the effect I want it will have to be flash. Now, heres the tricky part for me: I want those links to open up different pages inside the black center box either using frames or php. How could this be done? On the menu part, also, with the buttons, I need to make them movie clips for the effect I need for the rollover, but I want the movieclip to have a hitspace, how do I assign a movie clip a hit space.

I have created a website with one flash animation banner.The banner .swf has 5 menus. Each menu goes to different movieclips inside the .swf file. and at the same time i want to load the corresponding html file when i click the menu button and place the html content into the bottom area of the main html page without refreshing the html page.
View 2 Repliesi created a flash slideshow with pictures of events and link each picture with its own event (ie. each pictures has its own links to the website). I created the fade in and fade out effect using the class motion tween. With the link, I created a layer with a button that has alpha= 0 (so the user don't see it) and then I used code snippet to make another layer with the action script "click to go to url."
When the slideshow goes to the last picture I made it fade out and the first picture of the slideshow would show up and then the slideshow would replay itself (by default?). My goal is to make a continuous slideshow.
When I tested the swf file, the first time it runs, everything is right. The urls and the pictures are in correct order. However when the slideshow replays itself automatically, I notice that the links are incorrect. In the first play, when I click the picture of the event it would open the url of that event.However when the sldieshow replays, clicking the pictures would only open the url of the first event picture. When I click on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.pictures the browser opens only the link of the first picture of the slideshow.
code for disabling and redirecting links in the HTMLLoader:
Code:
import flash.html.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
I'm writing some code in Flash MX 2004 and everything works fine except for the last button (4DSystemsProducts).According to the coding if none of the drop down buttons work it should go to products.php, but for some reason it goes to 4DSystemsProducts.php. All of the other menus are coded the same way and work fine, if I take out that button it works fine,or if I take out button 7 and switch 4DSystems to button 7 everything works.Here is the code to clear up this explanation.

If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message.

I am planning to create a photo/video gallery secured by a pin. So i plan to have 4 pages, Login, Menu, Image Page and Video View. Login would be a simple textbox where i check the pin. The Menu would show all picture albums and videos in a list i create with clickable sprites or buttons or something like that. And a video view where a video will be shown if i click on a video link on the menu page.
I tried to prepare the scene in flash cs5, so i decided to create 4 frames. ALl pages have their own layer. The first will be the login, second the menu, third the image view (incl. thumbnail show and fullscreen view popup) and a video view. On each keyframe i put a rectangle converting it into a MovieClip acting as the main container where all the stuff will come into.
Now i tried to initialize all these MovieClips by resizing them everytime the stage is resized. For this i get errors, that some of the MovieClips are null. This is because the MovieClips exist only keyframe 2 for the menu or keyframe 3 for the image page and keyframe 4 for the video view. So i have to put them all into keyframe 1 to be able to access. But i created 4 keyframes because i want to jump to them by using "gotoAndStop( n)", where n stands for keyframe 2, 3 or 4.
I dont get it, how does Flash interpret the code and how is the visibility of these MovieClips. Can i only access the MovieClip from keyframe 2 because i added it on keyframe 2 only? What is the best solution to have a simple 4 page app where on page 1 (menu) i click on video link which holds some sort of ID of the video, then i jump to keyframe 4 for the video view providing it with that ID, but how to do that when Actionscript doesnt even know there is a video container MovieClip. To get Actioscript to know all of them, i have to move them to keyframe 1, but then how to do the paging stuff.
So I'm working on a new flash site project for my boss. I've not done a flash site before so am learning as I go.
What I wanted to get advice on is the best way to build the set of pages. As you see from the homepage, there are 8 buttons there in total.
Obviously, when one is clicked, it will take you to that page *collections, profile, etc etc....). I am in the process of creating these pages but want to know what's the ideal way to set up the fla.
Is it best to create each page as internal movie clips inside the actual site.fla and then using the attachmovie command attach them to a main container_mc? Or is it best making them separately and loading them externally, loadmovie to a container_mc?Or do I set each page at a different frame on the main timeline and get the button to jump to that frame, which then plays the movie via one of the methids above?
I currently have a flash file and it all works fine, but I'm about to update it and it will become a little complicated to update the way I have set it up.
I have 15 pages (going to be updated to 40pages soon) and a side menu, clicking on one of the tabs in the menu will animate the relevant page onto the stage. Here is the code I am using[code]...
I am trying to do something pretty basic I think...I have attached a screenshot below of what the site looks like so far. What I want to do is always have the left hand side links showing on the site. I want to create a new .fla for projects and have that load on the window on the right when the projects link is clicked on. What I have done in the past is create the entire website within one .fla but that is getting too confusing. I assume some actionscript is required here which I am pretty useless with.
View 21 RepliesI have some flash code and an XML file that creates dynamic buttons that allow you to cycle through the XML file. Im trying to integrate this code into my .FLA but I want to get rid of the code that tells it to rely on the dynamic buttons, and instead, use my non-dynamic navigation I already have built to load the specific part of the XML depending on which page you click in my nav.
I just don't know what to strip - and what to add to the code to make it work.
My .FLA is setup in that each "page" is on a different layer on frame 1, so it uses actionscript to fade in and out of each "page".
Heres a link to the working example of the XML I found: [URL]
Heres my actual site to give you a better idea of what i want to integrate in: [URL]
Heres the XML code, file called products.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
<product id="42">

I'm creating flash site which will have different backgrounds for each page. I'll load the individual pages with "MovieClipLoader." My understanding about MovieClipLoaders is that, it doesn't matter the background of your mc, the page to which you are loading will maintain it's background.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering is there a way to have an embedded swf navigate to different pages of a pdf?
Example:my swf is on page one. There are mulitple buttons in the swf, when clicked it will take you to page 3, or 5, or 7, etc.
Currently, when I click on a button, it DOES take me to say page 4, but the content on page is the SWF file from page 1, and not the content that is suppose to be on page 4.[code]...

I encountered a weird error, I lose sessions when moving between pages.
I lose Sessions because i use Flash (swf) menu to navigate between pages.
So when i navigate to a page using the Flash menu, I lose the session.
It doesn't let me answer my own question so here is the answer:
Thx for answering, but the problam wasn't the flash..
I just found out that the session was opened on http://WebSite.com/ And the flash was redirecting to http://www.WebSite.com/
So the session losts between domains, and not between pages because of flash :) I just made all my site use the www domain .
