I am hoping to combine Flash (AS2) with a simple lightbox effect. I do not want a photo to be pushed to the fore, but a simple form, and wonder if there are any tutorials on this?
View 0 RepliesI need very easy and basic instructions to open a Lightbox 2.04 effect from Flash.
I need to know where I have to write the code, for example do I write the HTML code in the Actionscript, or in my HTML file???

View 1 RepliesIm using a prototype to create a lightbox effect in my flash to show images it work with this prototype:[code]This prototype works but as soon as i click a link from the quicknav and then try to press the link again it has dissappeared.Ive tried alot of things but ive not figured out how i can fix this..if you look into the included flash file and u press on the second button in the menu then press the link in the page for the image, and then press the 1st or 2nd link the menu left ull notice it doesnt link anymore.[code]
View 4 RepliesI realize you can make one of each effect, set the same target, and hit .play();, but this produces weird results (acknowledged by Adobe, fixed in Flex 4). I'm trying to have an object move from the top of the screen to the bottom while it rotates around it's own center. When called independently, both of these effects work perfectly. When called together, the object always rotates around the top left corner. I even tried putting them both inside a <Parallel> tag with no success.
View 2 Replieslets say we want to animate an object using the 3d position its (Z position)to be exact, from keyrame 1 to keyframe 40 or so on. i put the object on keyrame 1 to 10000position and view and then its keyframe on 40 to 0 position and view,so it looks like a nice object zooming towards you as you see it.but how can we get the object to constantly spin around and around(like from the motion presets from the default:spiral 3D ) .so it seems like a coin been tossed.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip called mainClip. Within it is another movie clip called subClip. I am moving the mainClip along the y axis; when it reaches a certain point, then the subClip moves along the x axis.
Here's the basic code:
Code:
myButton.onRelease = function() {
onEnterFrame = function () {
mainClip._y += 10;
[Code].....
The problem is, the mainClip moves just fine, but the subClip won't move at all. why the second script won't work?
I have created a custom lightbox that displays a flash file. The app is required to open the jQuery Datepicker above the flash file.
Here is the problem; only the header, the month name and navigation appear over the flash app. Everything else is below it.
I tried the wmode=transparent trick, but it makes the Flash app transparent and you can see below it. Plus, I believe the datepicker is having the same issue, where the month navigator is above flash, and the numbers are below the app.

View 1 RepliesI am using this tutorial to install lightbox within a flash cs3 as2 document[URL]..I got everything to work, now I am trying to set up the code to load an html page in the lightbox without changing the option to load jpg's as well.
So far I've tried changing the code in flash to say .html instead of .jpg and The lightbox keeps loading without ever finding the file.
i've designed a strip of thumbnails in flash to go in a Wordpress site i'm working on, which when clicked need to open up images and videos using Lightbox 2. (Lightbox is already setup and working.)The problem is that i'm importing the links for each of the thumbnail buttons from a .txt file which works like this:
Code:
getURL(_root.link1, "_blank");
Text file:
[URL]
This at present just opens the image in a new window, how can i make this work with Lightbox?[URL]
Everything works just fine the only thing i need to know is how to add more pictures to the lightbox?
showcase.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pop_up) ;
function pop_up(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("test");
ExternalInterface.call("Design_Gallery", "images/image-1.jpg", "image-1");
}
I'm searching something similar to the lightbox effect in javascript, but for flash.
I already tried succesfully "flash lightbox v2" (http://blog.alancurtis.it/tag/flash/) but I'm searching something native for flash, without javascript.
Does anyone know a lightbox in which I can load pages? I found one called lightbox-gone-wild but I am having problems with it.
View 1 RepliesI have a a flash movie with buttons and I want to open a link from these buttons to my lightbox 2.0. How would I do this?
I have entered this in the html script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate1(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[Code].....
Im using the Lightbox 2.0 [URL] And a flash movie in the same page. Now ive got this thumbnail slider in the flashmovie with thumbnails loaded from an xml file. As soon as i hit a thumbnail i want the Lightbox to show the full image of the thumbnail.
I've got everything set up and if i test if the Lightbox works with an html link it works perfectly:
HTML Code:
<a href = "path/to/image.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my Title">Lightbox test</a>
Now my question is how do I call the same action in AS?
I understood the rel attribute refers to both the Lightbox JavaScript and the StyleSheet. But i really dont know how to set the rel attribute in flash.
if it is possible to activate lightbox 2 from flash.
As extracted from the Lightbox tutorial, lightbox needs an <a href> tag with a rel="lightbox" attribute to be activated.
e.g.
Code:
<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>
However I dun think it is possible to use getURL(); for this in flash right?
is there a work around for this? what i am aiming to do is have the user click on an image/mc in my flash
e.g.
Code:
my_mc.onRelease = function() { // Activate lightbox from here };
and have it call the light box up.
want to load a lightbox gallery from within a flash .swf i no its possible because iv seen it done many times, and iv tried every tutorial on the net, most of which say the same thing, which I have done and it still doesnt work.So far I have created a javascript delegate which turns the flash command getURL into an anchor tag containing a rel="" attribute. Here is my javascript:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[code]...
I have then used a flash button to call the javascript function, in theory this should load my lightbox, however all that happens is the flash swf disappears and no lightbox overlay or image appears. I no that fksh objects do disappear when lightbox loads, however mine doesnt load. My ActionScipt on the flash button is as so:
Actionscript Code:
on (release) {getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate('1.jpg','caption1')", "_self")}

View 3 RepliesI'm currently trying to beef up one of the websites I run, and make a better image slideshow for the gallery page. Currently... I have this page for my own website, with the lightbox effect installed correctly. The effect is very nice:When you click on an image, it loads it into focus on top of the page. This is also possible using flash.. using lightbox++. I hope one of you knows of this My question to you is... I want a page that loads the pictures via an xml file, and have the thumbs loaded, and each of those thumbs setup to load the full size version when you click on it.

View 1 RepliesI have a few Flash objects in my html page, and all these Flash objects respond to mouseOver and mouseOut.
On mouseOver, the Flash objects will play a movieclip in place. On MouseEvent.CLICK, I would like the Flash objects to make the html page create a new iFrame with embedded .mov movie file in a lightbox effect.
I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried ExternalInterface.call(), navigatetoURL(), I have tried simulating a click event in javascript. Essentially, I want a mouse-click that is captured in Flash to open a jquery/javascript-lightbox in an iframe.
I made a very minimal javascript bookmarklet (~1 KB minified) that lets me play videos inside a distraction-free lightbox. In my script, I clone the <embed> element containing the movie and wrap a lightbox div around it, so even in those cases where the "Turn Lights Off" chrome extension fails, mine works. Only problem is that since I clone the <embed>, I lose any buffering I had done previously. This is a major turnoff as I'm on a slow connection and I don't always remember to load the bookmarklet before hitting play — the UX is downright horrible.Is there a way to improve the script so I can isolate the <embed> in a lightbox without losing any buffering done prior?
Here's my bookmarklet code (you can try it out on this site)— puts an icon next to any <embed> element on the page that you can click to isolate that <embed> inside a distraction-free lightbox:
javascript:(function(){
var isolated = false, smallestVideo=300, videoElements=document.getElementsByTagName('embed'), activate_style='width:16px; height:16px; position:relative; cursor:pointer; left:-23px;
