View 2 RepliesI work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.
ACTUALLY i just thought of another one so now i have two. sorry. hope you don't mind. i get sidetracked rather easily. before i start, a quick nota bene. i'm a complete newcomer to flash so my questions are very simpleminded. not much of a challenge i'm afraid.
1. can i put a link in my movie that will close the window?
2. can i put a link in my movie that will open a new window of a specific size, and without the menu-buttons of explorer?
1) how do you open a new window if you have thumbnail pics in the flash movie but want the full pic to open up in a new window? Is this Javascript inside flash?
2) How do they do the menu bar here at this site:[URL]
I am attempting to play with AS3 for the first time. I have a combo box that I need to load in different .swf files when something is selected in the combo box.
I have 2 functions, one will load a different url, based on what is in the data field for each item in the combo box when selected:
function changeHandler(event:Event):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); request.url = ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem.data; navigateToURL(request); aCb.selectedIndex = -1; }
The other function loads in a .swf which is what I want:
function changeHandler(event:Event):void { trace("you clicked me"); var loadit = new Loader(); addChild(loadit); loadit.load(new URLRequest("movie1.swf"));}
but it's not set up based on the selectedItem.data so it doesn't change based on what is selected in the combo box.
I'm not sure what needs replaced in the second function to get it work like the first with the selectedItem.data....?
Each page is on a separate frame, link/button actionscript consists of gotoAndPlay(x), etc.
I have one product page that has enough content to where you have to scroll down in the browser window to reach the list of products. Each product image is a link to a more detailed description page/frame. My problem is this: when I scroll down in the browser window and click on one of the product links, the product details page loads, but I am still halfway down the page in the browser. I then have to scroll up to view the content. If you need to see what I'm talking about, go to villajerada dot com, click on Olive Oil, scroll down and try out one of the product links.
I've tried several approaches to resolving this, listed below:
1. External Interface Call:
(In Flash)
//ExternalInterface.call("scrollTop()");
//var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");
(In the html document)
[Code].....
Results: No matter what I do with this option, my browser always opens a new tab. I'm trying to build a site that will work with everyone's browser, regardless of their settings, so changing my own personal settings to resolve this isn't a solution. All I know is that I've tried several versions of it after reading other forum posts. Ideally, I wish that there was a way to navigate to a URL that ends up being a null object at the top of the page.
How would I go about loading an external swf into it's own window?
This is the as I'm using:
btn1.onRelease = function () {
loader1_mc.loadMovie("surfer.swf");
}
I found two tutorials that both contain pieces of what i am looking for but i cant seem to figure them out and get exactly what i want. Here is the firstIn the first one, the general idea is what i am looking for. Except that i want to load a movieclip and not an image. My problem in this one is the button component that is used. I have no clue how to skin or customize the button, and i cant find a good tutorial to figured it might be easier to just change the actionscript for this. I want to be able to create my own button (instance button) and use that so that when people release that button, the movie clip pops up![URL]
View 5 RepliesWith selenium I'm currently automating tests for a website having flash elements for user inputs. While everything works fine when executing these tests on my computer locally, it fails to load the embeded flash if I start selenium on a remote Windows XP machine.
However, the flash just loads fine if I start the tests while I'm logged in via remote desktop.
This leads me to the assumption that whithout any desktop environment loaded or user logged in the firefox window is treated just as though it was minimized or the current tab was inactive, which I know prevents flash from loading until that window/tab is activated.if there is a way to enable firefox to load flash even if it's not currently displayed in an active window?
if it is possible to load basic html web pages (like text) into a movie clip, or at least use actionscript to set the bounding box of the new window to have the same border region as the original movie clip (such as 600x400 pix at x+100, y+150, for example).
Alternatively, is there a method in which I could load several large scale text files into a region of a movie clip, without having to create endless .as files filled with thousands of

I have a site build with several swf sections (Home,About,etc...) loaded via XML. The thing is that one of the sections needs to be larger than the browser windows height, actually a lot larger.
So i need to find a way so that the browser's scroll bar will appear only for that specific section...
Right now it works if i change the dimensions of the main movie container and edit the index.html: overflow:auto;
But what kind of code should i use to let the browser's scroll bar appears if a movie that is loaded via XML is larger than height of the browser...

View 1 RepliesI am quite new to Flash and I want to make the following. I want to have a video (avi, mpg or something else) playing. But you should see only a part of the movie (a smaller rectangular "window"). Through this window I want to be able to zoom in on the movie, and move it, so you can see different parts of the movie.
Is such a thing possible in flash? If so, can you give me some tips on how to start?

I created a Flash movie (header.swf) that did some animation then at the end, loaded another into it using this command: loadMovie ("scrolling3. swf","_root.dropZone");It loads and plays just fine. Then I created another movie (video2.swf), that loads a movie in the same fashion: loadMovie ("tom2.swf","_root.mcTom");By itself, this movie (video2.swf) runs just fine.But now, when I wanted header.swf to load video2.swf it loads it, but the movie clip tom2.swf does not run. It just shows up as a white square in the corner. What am I doing wrong?I have tried many of the examples from threads that I have read hear and cannot get it to work.

View 1 RepliesHow can I control a flash movie in a window from a child (pop-up) window invoked via ExternalInterface's call method?
The name of the movie is myMovie. Using javascript in the popup, I try to access a function in the movie using document['myMovie'].flashFunction(). However, since the javascript is in the popup window and the flash is in another, the browser complains that the function is undefined.
This would have worked if the javascript and the movie were in the same window.
I use Firefox.
I often want to run a movie but are only insterested in the debugging output and switch back to my code or to the debugger.I discovered, that the movie framerate is significantly slower in an inactive browser window. This causes e.g. certain async unit tests to fail when run in the Flex UI. So it's not that trivial
