ActionScript 2.0 :: // Flash MX <A HREF> Tag Support?
Mar 24, 2011
Here's the lowdown, I have a Flash MX navigation on an html page and I want to set up the buttons so that onRelease they will go to named sections on that html page; Thru the use of the <A NAME></A> <A HREF></A> tags.
That's my page, and it works fine in IE...my problem is that it doesn't work in any of the other browsers.Firefox, Netscape and Opera don't recognize the <href> tag that surrounds the flash file, and that <href> tag holds the CSS class that makes the image pop on the right.
Normally I wouldn't even use flash for this but I need the streaming audio capability...you'll notice there's music when you rollover the thumbnails.Anyway, I've tried a bunch of stuff that didn't work...a transparent flash file z-indexed overtop a normal html jpg, among other things.Now I'm hoping that embedding the css into the flash file may be the answer.But, I don't know how to properly embed the class.I just managed to design myself into a corner that I can't get out of with tutorials.
P.S. I know this post is light on the specifics, just tell me what you want to see and I'll post it right away.
I am trying to insert a simple <a href command inside my XML (website is in flash) that is used as "contact (me)" page. So I have a bunch of text in this XML but somewhere in this text I am trying to palce a simple link that upon clicking it it owuld open a new browser window and take me to [URL]. I also added a target blank command so that a new browser window should open (if I am correct?). Anyhow this is the command Im trying to use:
Using the following code:[code]Triggering play() and stop() works as expected, however the href doesn't do much, as the click event is sent to the flashplayer, and not following the hyperlink.I have several such flashplayers on the page, and I'm trying to find a way to 'activate' the href onClick and honor the url specified in the <a href=""> construct. Specifically, it's in IE8 I'm struggling.How can I do this using html/javascript?After having come across javascript onclick event over flash object I managed to get closer to what I'm after. Using the onmousedown event, I can trigger javascript when clicking my overlay div. What's a good generic way to read the parent href url and issue location.href='/myparenturl';" style="cursor: pointer; ?
my customer wants a custom handcursor in a flash application. however, we use a lot of textfields with hrefs inside, in which case the custom cursor should not be displayed, but the normal hand pointer. any way i can find out if the cursor is above a href formatted text?
Excuse me, I'm afraid I'll show my ignorance here,I'm trying to update my music site, and am happy with the look I get when I preview in IE from Dreamweaver, but when I upload to my site online, IE chokes up and the flash object never shows up, as on the iphone iOS 4.3 safari browser, and Firefox renders the object, but too far too the left.
Basically, when I have href text of various song names in cells on a table with a background image. When a song name is clicked, I'm attempting to have songs from my soundcloud account show up and play in a cell on the table, using an iframe. This is sort of working locally in IE, but nowhere else (see above). The code I grabbed from soundcloud is a flash object with a number of parameters defined that I am not able to utilize in my current method of just using the src="http:samplefile.com" part of the ofject code, not the other object parameters.
I've also tried creating separate html pages that have the full object code and nothing else, and then having my text in my table cells call these html files to show up in the iframe--that's actually working in IE, and though the location is off, in Firefox, but not on an iphone. Here's the link, try clicking "walking" at the top for the first approach, or "Batesville" for the object-in-blank-html approach:[URL].
I want to display all the tags that returned from server and if anyone clicks on any tag, i would like to display all the blogs which having the tag.
Actually i am able to create tag cloud click-able. But its click-able only when i give h ref like [URL]. But i don want to give direct URL in href. If i use "#" instead of whole URL, then the tag cloud becomes non-click-able.
Do we have any other option to make the link click-able without giving whole URL.
how to get that <a> element in javascript or jquery, when it clicked.
Is it possible to tab enable the href links in html formated text that is displayed in a TextField.htmlText property? I don't necessarily want to tab enable the entire text field, just the href links
I need to use RegExp to be able to extract titles from all anchor links in an htmlText field. ie- <a href="[URL]" target="_blank">THIS TEXT HERE</a> Any pointers?
I'm loading data from TextFlow to spark:TextArea. In TextFlow i have 'a href' elements. Problem lies with the address of the 'link' elements. Some of them will go outside of the page (these i will leave without doing anything), other will go to other subpages in my site(these one i have to catch and process in code).[code]...

Is there an easy way to add a variable into A HREF tag within as3?Example:var myVariable = "hello";<a href = 'event:myVariable' </a>Of course, that doesn't work, but how would I go about making it work? This is for a dynamic project, so I need to call upon variables within the A HREF in order for this to work.
I keep trying to place some pngs in an XML file inside flash. The jpgs work fine but when it gets to the pngs nothing shows up. Do you need to have a special Action Script?
In actionscript I am trying to get the location of the host html doc that has the .swf embedded (ie: [URL]). I have tried the _url method in actionscript, but it returns the path of the .swf doc relative to the website (ie: [URL]) Is there a way to achieve this in Actionscript? I looked into fscommand but I need this to work with Safari for Mac OS.
I think this is a relatively easy fix but I have looked around for the answer and have not been able to find it. I am using a dynamic scrollable html text box. I would like to add links. The only problem is that the double forward slashes (//) in http:[url]....makes the following text become a commment.I have a dynamic text box with an instance name of myText and in my AS layer I have:
Code: myText.htmlText ="the text for this scrollable text box, which is html formatted";
If I try to add a html link, obviously it doesn't work.The only workaround that I know of uses exteral .txt files.I would prefer to use those since I have not been able to get my scrolling bar with tweening to load properly with external .txt files.
This my HTML but if the browser does not support flash then i want to replace image in flash part
