I accidentally posted this topic in the Game/AI Programming section by mistake right below this due to lack of sleep so I reposted here. I was wondering if anyone has a way of making it so a webpage is loaded within a swf. For example: Say I have a swf file that has a menu on the left and title animation at the top. Kinda like this.
View 1 RepliesI'm a newbie in actionscript. I created a world map in flash. The map has regions (Europe, North America, Latin America, etc.). The regions on the map are defined as buttons.
The final flash map will be embedded in an html document (map.html). The idea is that when you click for example the "Europe" button on the flash movie, this will open an html document called Europe.html and will show it underneath the map flash (inside map.html). The "Europe.html" for example contains a list of countries. In this mission I have 2 problems:
1. What script I have to attach to every region button on the flash map so it will call the right html file into the div on the map.html?
2. What script do I have to put inside the html document?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make an interactive book that will have a chapter broken into several paragraphs that will load into dynamic text boxes.
For my first chapter, I have 3 text boxes, in which I have 3 different .txt files being called upon with 3 separate loader(); events It's important that the .txt files are loaded dynamically so the content can be edited easily.
Is there a way to do this with array or classes so I don't need to create and code 10 boxes for each chapter?
I've got this interactive poem I've been working on for a class. I've basically finished each "episode" seperately. I made a parent document which essentially loads one of the ten child documents onto the respective key frame. Here's a sample of the code for the first key frame of the parent document:
stop();
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, LoadSWF2);
[Code]....
Well Two things are messed up about it, well my "ChildTimeline2" variable will off and on assosciate itslef not with the main time line of a child document, but of a nested symbol inside said child document. Even worse, the "gotoAndStop();" command I will give sometimes applies to Parent document... yaay! but often it will apply to the child document. The end result being this horrible looping moment where you are stuck in one child document for all time.
I wish I could attach the documents but they exceed the 300KB. how I can get Actionscript to listen fro the last frame of the maintimeline of the child document, or tell flash to gotoandStop for the parent document

View 1 RepliesI have a flash musicplayer, that is very simple by itself. it has one button, Start/Stop. The player itself is in footer.
The Problem: when the page loads music won't start (FLASH player won't play) before you don't see it on the page, I mean, when the screen is small by resolution, you don't see the footer - and music doesn't start. when you scroll down to footer (when you see the player) it starts playing.
How should I do that no matter if you see the player or not - the player starts playing.

We're working with a product called ProForm to create online courses that are Flash-based. It's a pretty cool product, created by Rapid Intake and using ActionScript 2 as the basis.
The problem we're seeing is that when we try to use this method to connect directly to Office documents, the links fail to open the documents in Internet Explorer. When using Firefox, they work fine, and soon after clicking the link the user receives a dialog asking if they wish to save or open the document. This is the behavior which we expected in IE, and which one can achieve by holding the CTRL button and clicking the link (and don't ask me how that was figured out, 'cuz I don't know). But when just clicking the link in IE, a browser window briefly pops up, then the thing disappears and nothing else happens - no file opens, no dialog appears, nothing.
My team and I are considering switching to using the "Flash CS5 Uncompressed Document (*.xfl)" option in Flash CS5 based on the assumption that it will allow better collaboration and conflict resolution when working in a version-controlled (SVN) environment. We would like to avoid the common situation of irresolvable conflicts when multiple people edit an FLA. at least in the initial release of Flash CS5: [URL] Has anyone had success or failure with this approach? Is this a favourable or detrimental change in workflow?
View 1 RepliesFor some reason whenever I try to access a any of the files within a project that I'm working on it goes extremely slow. I'll click something, or type something and it'll take like 30 seconds before I actually see it do anything. I never had this problem with this project before, seems like it came out of no where. If I just make a new document, or goto another project it's fine.

I'm working on a site which has the main content portion of my webpage as an embedded flash movie. On the left side of the flash movie there are navigational button symbols, and on the right side flash displays the content.
For one of the buttons however, I would like my flash movie to load an HTML page I created in the content portion (preferably without use of a window loader, but if it's the only way then I don't mind).
Is this possible at all?
I've incorporated flash in many of my HTML projects but not the other way around so I'm feeling a little bit like a deer in headlights.
Button gets clicked, and an html file gets loaded into a certain area.
View 1 RepliesI am tossing around a concept of a hybrid flash and html site. I was wondering if there is some conceivable way to load the flash portion before the html renders? I know I could just open another page or use frames.But I want to stay away from frames for XHTML reasons. I know this could be one of my wild imagination deals. But can this be done?? Maybe this is a client side question, not sure. If a mod wants to move it feel free..

View 4 RepliesI'm currently downloading website via an ActionScript HTMLLoader to later have access to the DOM to get some information out of the page. The problem is: each resource that is linked on the page (images, stylesheets, javascript) is also loaded which takes some additional time. I don't really need those resources, because only the plain HTML/DOM is interesting. Is there any way to disable loading of linked resources? At first I tried using an URLLoader and parse the result as XML, but when the website isn't valid this doesn't work. I also didn't find a library that validates/parses a given HTML-string into valid XML.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a high end full screen flash site, the swf technically takes up the whole sceen but elements within it are positioned relative to the browser.
What we are looking to do is have the main page with the full screen Flash piece remain the entire time. When a button is clicked a separate url / html file of content will display in a window or borderless area on top of Flash, scrolling if necessary and preferably with a bit of transparency so you can see the Flash beneath it. The content pages will be formatted by css and the client will have the ability to update via CMS, the page might contain images, swfs, etc.
Nick Stakenburg's Lightview works flawlessly but it hides the Flash when it loads the iframe. This is not acceptable and I have been all over the Lightview forums and trying different hacks and tweaks (wmode, zindex, etc), none have worked and he has basically said that Lightview hides Flash and some other objects so they don't overlay Lightview and that that is his only cross browser solution for now.
We are trying to load a flash file in a browser from local machine its loading only in Internet Explorer (IE) but not in other browsers.
View 3 RepliesHow does the browser load flash files? Do they load progressively, or does the browser wait until the entire flash file is loaded before displaying it?The reason is I have a tiny clip that is extremely high in quality, only a few seconds long, but it's over 4 mb.Will the user have to wait until all 4 mb is loaded before viewing? Or does it load as the user watches it? I just imported a .flv into Flash, and exported as a .swf.
