View 3 RepliesSo, I can't remember and it's not working. I basically want to add this to my text file:
<a href="[URL]" target="_blank">Go here</a>
Which obviously doesn't work. what's the easiest way add HTML tags to a TXT file without changing the way the files being loaded too much?
var filename:String="text/home.txt";
var loaderText:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(filename);
function loadFile(filename:String):void {
myRequest.url=filename;
loaderText.load(myRequest);}
loadFile("text/press.txt");

View 3 RepliesDoes any know how to load a XML into a Flash file using FlashVar?
I have these lines that load my XML data from a folder called XML
var url:String = "xml/TEST.xml";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var uLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
I would like to use FlashVar to enter the "xml/TEST.xml"; portion so I can keep reusing the SWF file and only have to enter a FlashVar in the HTML to point to the data. I have some users that are not Flash programmers and it would be easy for them to past the HTML and only have to change the FlashVar line to point to their XML file, as opposed to having to get me to hardcode it everytime.
I've re done a couple of pages on my website and as a result of the new design have had to change some of the coding from being on the timeline to being in an external as document linked to my fla. This is significant only because I can link to external pdf.zips no problem on the timeline but I can't seem to translate the code to the external file. Can anyone out there help me out with this (hopefully) simply problem?I'm playing with different variations of this below but I'm constantly getting the 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method navigateToURL.
function onEnglishClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.bigredcreativeconcepts.com/UB_Flyer_English.pdf.zip");

So I am working on a portfolio site for a friend. She has a few photo galleries. Each one on it's own frame with an empty movieclip that loads an external .swf gallery (has pre-loader bar). There's three Sections so I have three buttons with _root.gotoAndStop("framelablehere"); behaviors on each frame.
What happens is if the external .swf file is loading and you decide to click to another section while the .swf has not finished loading my whole timeline freaks out and plays threw all the frames in my main movie. So it goes threw every section of the entire site! I have multiple stop();'s threw out my main movie. Basically one for each frame in my main movie plus more in the external .swf's.
You can check it out here [URL]- Just go to Projects>Photography and once you see the movie loading click to another section and watch the spasming begine~
I followed the tutorial and it works perfect. But I wanna go a step further, how do I link a word in the external text file? It seems that html code <a href="www.me.com">CLICK</a> doesn't show as a link, but exactly as text.
View 1 RepliesI have purchased an image gallery program that works fine but I am struggling to make a very minor modification. I have asked the author for assistance but previous requests have met with no response so I am also asking my question here. This program has most of its logic in an external AS2 file. I have made some small changes to this file and want to save it under a new name. However, that would also require me to change the reference to the external AS2 file from within the fla file. That's where my problem lies. I can't find any code in the fla that contains such a reference.
If I try to publish an swf without this file in the required location it causes a compiler error thus proving that there must be a reference somewhere to that file. However, doing a search for this AS2 file in the 'current document' when viewing the fla file in Flash CS4 produces no results. Where else could this reference be hidden?
I purchased a TM AS2 Flash 8 / XML Template. I'm trying to figure out how to create a text link inside my XML content that can link back into the flash movie to a specific MOVIE/FRAME.
I've found where a XML text link can trigger a function (<a href="asfunction:_root.more_click_func,0">), but I can't seem to figure out how to simply go to a specific frame in the flash. I would think that this would be easy. ??? I don't need to do anything dynamic, except load the link exactly as presented in the XML file.

View 1 RepliesHow do I link from one specific frame in one swf file to another specific frame in another swf file?It should be something like...
on(release){_root.gotoAndStop(8)}
...but where I want to get linked to another file in frame 8.Do I just simply rewrite _root to something else?
I have some buttons in my main movie.I want each button to link to a different frame of an external movie. Is this possible?
View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield called neighName on my Flash stage. I also have a movieclip that I call a region on my stage. When I mouseover the region, I want a word to display in a little popup *and* I want some text to display in my textfield. I have an external .as file for handling the region. I can make the code "see" my region, but I can't seem to make it see my textfield, although no errors are being thrown.
View 1 RepliesI managed to load in an external swf file okay however, I need to be able to remove it when the user clicks a link to go back to the homepage. Below is my code:
Code: Select allstop();
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("gallery.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
home_link_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeLink);
[Code] .....
I assumed it was as simple as removing the child but it still remains. I get no compile errors or anything.
I got my HTML embedded in my flash file, finally!But now I want some parts of the text that is in the HTML file to link to a specific label in flash itself.What variable can I use for this? or even a Href link?
View 2 Repliesloading external php file,this mean,when we load the file all info at php will load actionscript in swf file.

PHP Code:
loadVariablesNum("produkter.txt", 0);
import TextField.StyleSheet;
var myCSS:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();

and a dynamic textbox called "myHTML". If I name 'var' on this textbox everything works fine, but I want to write it in actionsscript instead. Where do I write that? (I have 3 different vars in the text-file)
I'm calling an external xml file and loading it into Flash. I can only pull the varables out in the onLoad function. Here it is.
var courseXML:XML = new XML();
courseXML.ignoreWhite = true;
courseXML.load("presentSlidesOne.xml");
courseXML.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void {

I'd like to load external .swf file after clicking a button, so the new file replaces current one which is pretty much the same but in different language. Here is the file http:[url].... I'd like the little red&white button to do the work.I though this code would do the job, but something is missing here:
FlagPL_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, webEng);function webEng(event:MouseEvent):void{windowLoader.source="AyeAyeMedia FOTO VIDEO AUDIO
I have external actionscript files that I call like this:
#include "../events/allevents.as"
But if I want to inport the full URL i.e. #include [Url] it does locate the file although it is the correct URL. How can I set this up so it always calls the server as and not my local as file
I am building a SWF player which loads external SWF's. Rite Now. I could call the external SWF using URLRequest.
but I am getting 2 problems How to run the SWF with the frame rate of the actual SWF movie. How can I know the frameRate of external SWF dynamically from within AS3. I have set a layer of 450px by 350px. How do I scale the external SWF with showall property to fit in the layer.
loading another file, in this case an .spt file. how start this code. Its a file that can be loaded from any PC and not just a file in the same folder, I don't think using a URLLoader would work, because the .spt would have to be in the same folder, and thats not what I need.
View 0 RepliesIs there a way to _xscale and _yscale external .swf after loading them? Is there a way to 'talk' to the external .swf file after loading and placing it on the stage? By this I mean: will I be able to send variables/commands/functions back and forth from the playing movie and the external .swf file?
View 6 RepliesThe .swf is still very very basic as of now, but im making a little file that keeps you up to date with NYC weather. The problem is it has to read off an external XML file at: [URL]
I tried using the tutorial on kirupa.com with using a .php file to act as a "middleman" for this. First I tried the tutorial at Adobe's website but that had no effect, and neither did the tutorial on Kirupa... Mind you I've tried this locally and it worked fine, when i upload it to the web it never loads the xml file.
I attached the .fla and .php file to this post, you can see the .swf at work (rather, not working) at:

I'm having a problem loading external swf files into a main Swf file. For example i'm working on my companies website, i created a slideshow with thumbnails. Within this slideshow, there is a stop and pause slideshow buttons. The main SWF file is my navigation buttons that call for each category (external SWF file). if i play the side show when i click on another category another slideshow swf file opens, but the slidshow plays automatically, when it isn't supposed to play automatically. After that i can't pause the slideshow. I was wondering why it was doing this. But if i load a SWF file and not play the slidshow and choose another catgory everything is ok.
View 3 RepliesI have seen a tutorial on this, but it was very un-thorough and it didn't have it the way I was looking at. Is there any way to load individual variables from a .txt file, like so:
[level 1]
enemy1=5
enemy2=10
[code]....
It's done in some other Flash games and in Soldat, and it would make scripting ALOT easier as I can change all of the variables without loading Flash.
I've been going through online tutorials and so forthand yea I'm still a newb. I have a flash site I'm designing and this is probably a simple answer. I've figured out how to incorporate the external flashes using buttons and loader, please see the script below. The main problem I am having is I want to load my 1.swf file as the main home page. When I load the flash is comes up empty instead of loading the swf file when the flash is first opened. I can use the button to load it back, but how do you get it to appear once the flash is initailly loaded instead of just pulling up a blank page?
Code:
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.home == Number(this.home)){
[code].....
I have a main flash file coded in AS3. This file acts like a container that loads on different AS2 files depending on user selection. This container file is set to fullscreen mode and the stage is aligned to center if the user screen is too wide.
The problem here is that when it loads the AS2 file, it causes the container stage to align left. I tried loading an external test AS3 SWF and it loads fine. Only when it comes to loading the AS2 files will the stage aligned left. I suspect is the AS2 files have its stage aligned to left and I don't have access to these AS2 FLA files. I only have the SWFs. Is there anyway I can control this from the AS3 code?
I'm creating a site but I want to use external actionscript in it.
what AS do I need in my FLA and how do I create a trace message in my AS file?
I am trying to load an external SWF file, for some reason (can't figure out) my code doesn't work
