I'm doing a site that needs to download an mp3 sample clip from the server when a text link is clicked. The whole site is in Flash and am using MX. Tried the getURL > didn't work. Saw a tutorial here but that one plays the mp3 file right away. I want the user to be able to save the file to their hard disk and play it from there.

View 2 Repliesi understand that you have to have a .zip file usually to force a browser to download the file using the getURL command to the URL of the .zip file. But when i have a link in a pop-up page, it just gives me a error 404 page
so far the AS looks like this
on (press){
getURL(www.troyblank.com/download/beeswax.zip);
}
I have a movie I want to make available for download, but when i use getURL, it open the movie, I want it to download directly to people's desktop so they can keep the movie.
View 2 Repliesim trying to create a button that will (once clicked) go to another .fla file .. can it be done ? searched everywhere can just find out how to create buttons that direct to a URL which i already knw how to do..
full sketch is ive created a flash video intro and at the bottom a button appears "enter" once clicked i need it to go to the main .fla file .
I have a webpage with a video component (swf file) with a separate .flv file and skin. The .flv file is intended to progressively load from the webserver.
In the swf file I have set autoplay=false to stop the move playing when the page is loaded. This works fine.
However, the problem is that the movie still downloads in the background. i.e. Each time the page is loaded, the .flv file is being loaded.
Is there a way to stop the .flv file being loaded until the Play button is pressed in the player?
I have set up a progress bar file that in which i have imported my .swf file. Is there a way I can start playing the flash movie before it is fully downloaded. Not sure if this is a buffering or streaming question. Lets say it starts playing when it's downloaded at least 50% of it.
I've looked up and tried several ways, but i think i am confusing myself more then helping.
loadingBar.scaleX = 0;var loader = new Loader();loader.load(new URLRequest("coyoteslide.swf"));loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showLoadResul t);

It makes the symbol (logolink) a link (changed the mouse cursor to a pointer), but it kills my animations and errors out saying (all on line 4...the function callLink line): "expecting leftparen before colon", "expecting identifier before leftbrace", and "expecting rightparen before leftbrace".I tried a few things like adding an unused parameter, and a couple other things (trying to satisfy the above errors), but then I get "call to possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class"

View 3 RepliesIm trying to create a button which will have a link to download a pdf to the users desktop - Im a new user, so I have picked up this code:
on(release){
getURL("LODGE INVITE PAGE 2.pdf", "_blank");
}
which doesn't work! I just put this in on assuming that flash would pick up the pdf on my desktop but it cannot open the pdf when you click on the link.
I absolutely love the carousel however in the item description I would like to have html links. I have tried the following:
FLASH:
theText.html = true; <<< i added this to the main AS code
import mx.utils.Delegate; ETC.....
XML:

<a href="[URL]">orchard</a>."/>
I also just added the standard html link into the xml. However all that loads is the background content, the main carousel refuses to load.
Why creating a text link to a .as hosted on my site creates a 404 error? If I change it to .txt it works fine but I'd really like the user to be able to open the file directly into Flash.

I want to include a link to download a few documents, and I just don't know how to do that.I do Not KNOW what the complete HTTP url will be, just the directory path by that I mean, I know the files will be in "VideoFilesHighRes1.MOV" but I don't have access to the complete URL. This isnt a problem when it comes to loading other Flash objects (IE sounds, different clips etc) For some reason I didn't think the "getURL" request was valid in AS 3.0.....

View 4 RepliesI have created a flash sit in flash pro. On one of my pages i have a bunch of thumbnails that i want to be able to scroll through and click on and have it open another browser window to an html page I have created.I have placed all the button individually in a motion clip, so I can fade them onto the page when I go to it, and I then have selected all the buttons and changed them to motion clips so I can scroll them.
I created an action file and placed it in its own layer in the first motion clip that all the buttons are on.I am getting access of undefined property errors on all the buttons when I debug.Below is what I have written, I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I am new to this.
