It has been a while since I have used flash, but I am getting a werid error when trying to make external links.
in my action script on my button, I'm putting the script
on (release) {
getURL("www.google.ca", "_blank");
}
which I have always done in the past, but when I upload it and test it, when I click on the link it just add's it to the end of the current URL eg.
[URL]
I'm sure this a common Actionscript method, but my websearch on how to do this is turning up no results.
Using MX 2004 I am trying to get the current value of the web address in which the swf is residing and have actions take place based on the HTTP locations.
ie;
var a:String = this.HTTPaddress;
var b:String = this.HTTPaddress;
(have certain actions take place based on above vars.)
Is there a way to access the iphone address book with the current Flex/Air Mobile version?
View 1 RepliesSo I am loading external swf's. These swfs contain a 16 frame image sequence on the stage. When I load the swf's and go to each frame via actionscript, they load into memory and they play fast and smoothly. If they sit on a single frame for a certain amount of time, the rest of the frames are dumped from memory and the image sequence plays slow again until each frame is displayed and stored in memory again. I really want to keep all the frames of these timelines in memory until I choose to unload the swf's manually.
View 1 RepliesI am leading a team of developers on a project where we create distance learning classes to be attendedby students on the Internet.We created classes in Flash, ActionScript 3 in but I'm facing a big problem.I had an idea to create a kind of "software" using the flash in which my team could be better organized and where I could put (in the animation swf) what they should do that day(todo list).Until then it was all right, I created this software by loading text from the internet and created some php code inorder to edit them easily, even then no problem.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI am displaying a photo from an external link when called upon from my swf. When the user clicks a button, up pops a corresponding photo in a new browser window. After the photo window has opened, if the user clicks another button the photo browser will update but its no longer in front. I know I need to use the focus() command but cannot figure how to incorporate it into my AS3 code.[code]....

But I haven't been able to find an example file with example code that I can ferret out how to apply this to my website.

I am trying to load an external swf (c2) from my current swf c1. On the last frame of c1, I have entered this code
loadMovie("c2.swf", "c2holder");
stop();
c2holder is the movie clip holder inside c1. The problem here is not only is c2 not loading, the stop() is also being ignored and the entire movie loops back to the start. My movie clip nesting is this

I'm trying to create a Flash Carousel in AS2. I've made the Carousel itself, and have got the icon images and tooltips from an XML file using this code:
xml.onLoad = function()

I have functions for 'over', 'out', and 'released', and to move the carousel automatically, left or right depending on mouse position.
I was wondering if there was a way you could make each individual icon have an external link that leads to a different place on my website when you click on an icon, where I could specify the link url itself in the XML file?

View 4 RepliesI've refactored a whole project, splitting the main FLA file into 1 main FLA file and 10+ asset FLA files. Each asset FLA file main stage is empty and has no Document Class associated. Instead, each asset file's library contains a MovieClip linked to an .as class. The loader is first added to the stage, then is told to start to downloading the 10 asset SWF files.
When the download is completed, my application starts instancing the class coming from the asset files. Now, the problem is the following : when I try to access a stage instance from a downloaded clip (for example, a textfield that has been drag&dropped and named via the Flash IDE) , I encounter the #1009 error, saying the stage instance is null...

I'm loading html formated text from an external txt file into a masked "createTextField", which was styled using an external CSS file. Everything is fine, except for one strange thing...any links at the beginning of my text file DON'T work...the links towards the bottom of my text file DO work.I have never ran into this problem before.So far, I'm totally stumped.Note: I have "a:hover" and "a:active" properties set via the CSS file.When I rollover the links that aren't working, the anchor rollover properties do change, so there is some recognition going on, but the mouse doesn't change to a hand

What I want is to be able to modify the page URL from an external file (xml or txt). I want just an external file, and here, on the AS of the button to modify just the line number of where to get the link from external file.
I understand loading external text into flash through actionscript to produce a quick way to modify text without modifying the flash movie. The problem is being able to create hyperlinks in the external text to navigate within the movie (website). So my question, Is there a way to load external text but with the ability to code links into words or phrases that point to instance names (frames) within the movie (website).
current method
create *.txt file
*.txt loads into .swf file
.swf is called from loader component on main movie.Or is this impossible and the text has to made within the main movie and edited through flash?
