I am building a flash component to be embedded on an html side - the flash will include buttons to 'share' - i.e. on facebook, twitter, etc. I want to be able to grab the URL of the page and put it into the coding on the button.
Currently the button says:
tweetbtn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://twitter.com/home?status=Check Out This Company at www.thiscompany.com",
[code]......
I'm not sure if you able to do this or not. But basically I want to be able to grab text off a website (not the one the SWF is hosted on).
I have several sites from which I am making small amounts of money online.. I want to make a small app that loads the URL and searches the pages for the spot where the money is listed, then add them all up to shorten me having to consistently check each. The app could refresh loads, say every 30 seconds or so. Is there a way to do that?
Another example would be to make a text box in flash that displays the headline of an article on CNN.com
I did the like with loading XML from other pages, but what I want to do just involves grabbing any said text from a site.
I'm working on a pretty basic interactive children's book. I have it set up so that each page has audio relating to that specific page. Going forward, there is no issue with sound overlapping from the current and next pages. Going backward, however, there is an issue with sound playing on both the current and previous pages. How do I stop this?
Here is the script I'm using-
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I bought one of those templates, and i was able to get around most of the stuff. But one last thing that I have issue with is that there is an AS2 script for a button, where you can change the page that you want to be updated. But every time that I click that button, it opens the new page. but then if I use the same button in the new page, and click on it, another page will open and that current page will get closed.

View 2 RepliesI have managed to create some buttons movie clips and understand how to link pages. The only question i have is how do you make the button/link for the current page highlight so the user can know what page they are on? Is there a way to have a current page indicator in flash as you can do with html/css?
View 2 Repliesthis is the first time I have used flash pro.I just edited the menu and everything works perfectly except for the highlighting of the link on the current page. If im on the home page, home is correctly highlighted. However after that it skips the next button (about). So when I am on the about page the next button (events) is highlighted.

View 14 RepliesI am using a Flexbook which contains 2 BorderContainer. The code is shown below

This code shows page1 as current page. I want to show the BorderContainer (id= page2) as my current page dynamically on a button click. I tried setting currentPageIndex = 1, but I get a blank page by doing this.
I want to highlight the current page in my navigation.
I have the code below (duplicated for each button on the page) which changes the colour of the text in the nav when you rollover and then back when you rollout. I'd like to have the text stay on the rollover colour if it is the current page.
I've been messing around with variables and have added the bit onto the onRelease function which displays the "page" variable in a dynamic text box. This works fine, but I'm now stuck on how to use this variable, everything I've tried hasn't worked.
I can understand the principle of what I want to do as I can do it in PHP or CSS. I need some kind of conditional statement, for example (in laymans terms):
if page equals 1 then make text colour red or if page equals 2 then make text colour red and so on...
Code:
var up = "0xC5B9B3";
var over = "0xC6006F";
_root.nav.button_1.onRollOut = function() {

View 5 RepliesHow to find current page url from flash without calling javascript function. I was trying to get the url of the current page where my player has been embeded. I wrote this function.
function getCurrentUrl():String{
var Url:String = ExternalInterface.call("function get_url(){return document.location.href;}");
return Url;
}
This function works in firefox and chrome but doesn't works in IE.
I have a button that animates when you rollover and animates when you roll off. Let's say it is my home button. But I don't know how or what code to have so that my home button stays paused or stopped at the end of my rollover animation when the movie clip page associated with the button is currently displayed. And then if I click on another button like the 'About Us' button to make the 'about us' page load, to have my home button stop being highlighted when the home page is not displayed anymore.
So far this is my button code:
home_mc.onRollOver = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay ("_on");
} home_mc.onRollOut = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay ("_over");
}
I have a small flash tidbit that is basically used like a menu. It scrolls through the thumbnails left and right, when clicked the pages navigates to the appropriate location. However, the flash movie jumps back to the beginning of the movie. Is there anyway I can get it to stay in the same spot when the page is changed? I tried using iframes, but this did not work out, it had the same result. ref:[URL] to see the problem scroll the images to the right and select 'wall boarder buddy' (fourth image from the left) this takes you the page and the flash resets to its original position.

I have setup some nav buttons on my website. When I click one of the buttons, I want the current page to fade out, and I don't want the other page fading in until the first one is gone. This means I need a statement to go along with each button so that they all get rid of the current page, and don't fade in their respective pages until the first one is gone. Here is my current code:
buttons_mc.about_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CL ICK,disappear);
buttons_mc.about_mc.buttonMode = true;
buttons_mc.about_mc.useHandCursor = true;[code]...
So, what do I need in order for this to all function correctly, once "home_mc" has reached its final frame?
So I know Flashvars uses a lot different methods in AS3 because of the loader classes and all that. How do I disable the button and make it only display the second frame to the button corresponding to the page that the user is currently on?I've called a variable in the HTML document using query string (or I could use Flashvars just as easy if that makes it easier) called "currentPage" and on each page in the HTML give it a page name.I know how to grab the variable from the HTML into a text field in the SWF (see this tutorial) but I'm having trouble manipulating my menu buttons.

View 5 RepliesI have a .swf file containing a navigation bar and also an animation. I was going to use getURL on the nav buttons so that a different html page would launch onRelease. The animation in the swf file that contains the nav buttons plays as soon as the swf is loaded and there's also a movie clip in the file which continues its animation even after the file has loaded and played. As each of the nav buttons are pressed and the correct html page loads, I don't want the entire swf file to reload and therefore play the entire animation again as it did on the home page, but instead I just want it to appear as though it's already loaded but I do want the separate movie clip in the swf file to continue to play. Is there any way to make this happen?
Also, I wondered what code I'd need to make the current page nav button appear in a different state to all the other buttons to make a "you are here" effect.
Is it possible to create a screenshot from the current page the user is on? (It's for an Intranet enviroment).
