ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Menu Break Out Of Frame?
Apr 25, 2005
I have build a hybrid site where the navigation at the top is Flash, and the bottom is html. On all the pages, I have used straight html with no frames. That's all fine, but the client has one page that must be loading an external page into a frame. So I have a frameset where the top frame has the Flash navigation and the bottom frame loads the external link. This works fine, but then when I click to one of the other links in the Flash navigation, it loads that page into the frame where the Flash movie (nav) is. I tried to set the links in the Flash nav to the window being _self, and _top, and this just loads it in a new window.

I did some searching on this topic and couldn't find anything relevant. My problem is basically that I have build a hybrid site where the navigation at the top is Flash, and the bottom is html. On all the pages, I have used straight html with no frames. That's all fine, but the client has one page that must be loading an external page into a frame.

browsing [URL]... I would like to implement a version of this 3-D rotating menu with several changes. I would like to change the orientation to vertical and once one of the numbered instances has been triggered I would like the instance to revert to its inactive state. I am a novice to actionscript but in this case I find the code even more confusing. I cannot see an instance on the stage that would trigger the events and the math functions of actionscript is still very much a dark art to me.

I downloaded a basic flash menu from iStock to use on a site I am making... but I am having an issue: Basically the component will let me drag instances of it onto the stage... , but when I try to edit any aspect of the component... it changes every one I have on the stage. All I want to do.. is to be able to script each instance to gotoandplay on a certain frame... the scripting is as follows:
this.onRollOver = function() {
this.mouseOver();
}; [code].....

so I have created a basic flash navigation menu bar for my website. I have added the bar into a frame on my dreamweaver page. I was just wondering if it was possible to link the buttons on my flash bar to open the pages into a different frame, the main frame below, my navigation bar? The code I have at the moment for my "home" button is the following:
[Code]...
and this is opening the "home" page in a new window. Is it possible to make it open it in my main frame (called mainFrame)? When I change _blank to _self it opens the page in the same frame where the menu bar is, not the mainFrame below it.

why the png function differs from jpeg in flash when the break command is put to use.when i import a logo png into flash and then go to modify>break apart all .the logo then has a rectangle full of black dots and i cant keep just the logoso its hard to remove and keep just the logo required.but importing a jpeg and then using the command modify>bitmap>trace bitmap i get a good result with none of those multiple black small dots.now what id like to know is,if a png can have the command=modify>bitmap>trace bitmap applied to it.i would have upload a file for better explanation but...they have been disabled for a while.

Flash CS5 is the first version I've used since 8 Pro, so I'm new to the IK tool and adding bones to clips/shapes. I'm experiencing problems when saving/loading files that have armatures in them. I have made several characters now with bones attached to their limbs, which are shapes (not symbols) each on their own layer. At first the animations seem to work fine, and I can export a test SWF with no trouble showing the animation as it should be.
However, returning to the FLA after saving and closing it produces some unusual effects. For example, the shapes will disappear from the stage/clip and the only way I've found to get them to reappear is to select them via the timeline or their (barely visible) pivot point, then deselect them, then undo these actions and for some reason they appear again! More worryingly, sometimes the armatures will take on shapes from different layers, meaning, for example, I end up having figures with two right arms, even though the limbs and their corresponding shapes/armatures are on completely different layers. I have not found a way to undo this, so I have to start some of the limbs from scratch, then make sure I've published/exported all the necessary files before I need to close! m experiencing problems when saving/loading files that have armatures in them.

I've got a dynamic html text field in flash which pulls content from an XML file, which is being generated by a CMS using CK Editor. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but flash represents a <br/> tag with a space that seems more fitting for a <p> tag, and a <p> tag renders with about double that amount. How do I control this? I've tried specifying margins in the flash css file, but it has no effect. Is there something I can declare in the actual actionscript code?

I have an issue with a specific string variable. It is automatically adding a line break after the text in the string characterName. On this frame I have a input text box with an instance name of name_Input and a submit button that executes the following code.
var characterName:String;
characterName = name_Input.text;
//The next line was a solution I tried for this problem but it doesn't work

I am working on a projects showcase page. I don't quite understand how to break up all the info in XML in order to bring it into Flash. I have played around with a bunch of tutorials and samples but none go this deep.... I have 5 categories. In each category there will be a number of projects.
Each project has a description, title, subtitle, and its own image gallery. There needs to be a thumb, medium size, and large size for each image. Its the fact that there are multiple categories, multiple projects and multiple images along with a few individual facts. I am almost considering making an xml file for each category, but that seems silly.

I have a Flash 10 program that locks up when running on a device, such as a netbook, that has a weak processor.Specifically, it goes into a state where it is doing very heavy processing within an ENTER_FRAME event handler following a mouse down event, and expects to stop doing this processing following a mouse up event. The problem is that, since there is no idle time left over following the frame event handlers, the mouse up event is never received, and consequently the process locks up in what amounts to an infinite loop. Yes I can do things like lower the frame rate and do what I can to reduce the processing taking place in each frame, but is there some iron clad way to break out of this? Is there some way to detect that no idle time exists? Or is there a way to force receipt of the interactive mouse events? Or could I, within the ENTER_FRAME code, detect the state of the mouse, up or down, without getting a mouse event?

I am having some weird trouble with getting my Flex Builder 4.5 environment set up and working. I am currently debugging with the stand alone version of the debugger, though I have the same problem using the versions for Firefox and/or Chrome. It works fine as long as I do not include any break points, if I do include break points (anywhere in the code) the debugger just goes unresponsive until I terminate the process from FB.

openMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openSubMenu);
function openSubMenu(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.nextFrame();
} openMenu.closeMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeSub);
function closeSub(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.prevFrame();
} stop();
I've got the above code on my first frame, and was hoping that it would open a menu when a button was clicked, and once the button within the MC is clicked it would then close. Hence the nextFrame and prevFrame actions.
I keep getting TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
