View 1 RepliesI have a pretty large which was coded using AS2 in about 2006 so I'm trying to make a few changes using AS2 which I'm pretty rusty on. I have a swf which loads an xml file into a textarea in flash and it all works well. I have to link some images which appear in the xml file but those images have to be links to external sites and that is where I am running into problems with my asfunction. Here is the code.
[Code]...
I have had a look at this link:And this is exactly what I need to be able to click on an image wrapped in an <a> tag which comes from my XML content.I have added my image, added the <a> tag to the image and when I fire it up in AS2 and mouse over the image, the mouse cursor changes to the hand as is meant to.I've added my function, which when clicked on, should call a trace to check that it's working and it's not happening and no doubt it has something to do with the path of where my function sits. I have moved this around now to several places without any joy.If I test this on the root, in a simple scenario, it works. My page however sits on the 6th frame of the root timeline and this is where I believe things are going wrong.

How do I make "Contact" appear as Bold text?
I am a little confused with the ASFUNCTION. I understand how to use it to call a function from within the swf, but how can I embed a link in the external text file? Is this even with ASFUNCTION? When I use an <A HREF etc it doesn't work. I have searched all over the forums and can't find the answer to this really simple question. Also, one other thing. Is there a good character map somewhere for UTF-8 encodings? For example, I can't seem to get Trademark and bullet points to work.

How would I use ASFunction with dynamic texts? Can someone gimme a example (code not .fla)...How would I display the IP address of a person with flash?Complicated:A person views my signature. It shows the IP Address of a person along with a input box for their name. They type in their name. How would I make it so that, after a name is typed in and a button is pressed, both the name and the IP address are sent to a file? Only I can view the file. Well, the file could be called list.php or list.txt...and then I can CHMOD it so others can't view it...

Clicking on the html tag with asfunction doesn't work this way. I have to move the function part inside the myTextcontent.myMenu timeline to make it work. Instead of moving the function inside the movieclip which asfunction is targetting I would like to keep it all together. Is this possible? Perhaps some way to add a '_parent' code to ik looks for the function in the same layer as the asfunction line? Or some html back slashing so it moves up the 'tree' so it finds the function in the same timeline?
when my asfunctions are called from text loaded in from xml, it stops my up and down scroll buttons working properly (when you click on the scroll button and then release it, you have to move the cursor by at least 1 pixel before the button will work again).

View 4 RepliesI got this:
Code:
X25 = "<a href="asfunction:myClick">Show Box</a>";
box._visible=false;
function myClick() {
box._visible=true;
}
Where X25 is the name of a dynamic text field variable (not instance name).
What I really need is for a rollOver action - you need to physically click the text box for it to work and I need that for another action
I want the to use the 'edit_pizza' or the 'add_pizza' function whether i am editing or add a new order. So i am checking if "aktOrder" is set (or filled because it is an array) and setting 'clickFunction' the name of the function.Afterwards i put that in the string which will be added to "windowText.htmlText" at the end. By tracing 'clickFunction' i see that it is 'add_pizza' which is right. But in the string it doesn't work.
View 5 RepliesI just need to know where to reference _root to load a swf into an empty mc using an asfunction. Canadian out with this previous question, and the trace seems to be working, however my clips aren't loading. There needs to be a reference to root somewhere right? Everywhere I try to add it yields the same lack of result. Here's Canadian's code:

The back button in my flash project becomes unresponsive untill I move the mousecursor only a pixel in any direction. Strangely enough it works fine for links that are in the flash file like the navigation buttons on the left side, but becomes unresponsive as soon as I call an asfunction from within the XML file.Its quite complicated to explain. Maybe its just best that I show the flash file and let you see for yourself.
[code]...
This is what you need to do in order to reproduce the problem.Open the swf named "hometestback.swf "in the swf folder.Click on "sitemap" button at the top (the XML data page is loaded into the textpane) Click in the textpane on the "partner benefits" link (its the first link under "company title") The new XML data is loaded. Now hit the back button (the little arrow next to the company ::partner benefits title) And the page will go back to the previous "sitemap" page. However If I click on the backbutton again without moving the mouse nothing happens. (it should move back to the first page)Well you can see the overstate of the button but the button functionality is never started.
In the debugger I can't reproduce the problem, but when playing the movie as a test its still there.I tried making different buttons. So they would load a different instance of the button and the swf would be forced to load a new button on every page it landed.I tried onPress, onMouseDown, onRelease none of it works.I tried creating movieclips with the functionality of a button.I tried mouse event listeners. So the back button would at least detect a new mouseclick.I even tried starting from scratch and recreated the entire site all over again.However no click of the mouse seems to be noticed by the flash player untill I've moved the mousecursor just a little bit.
From within the XML the only thing I call is a function inside the swf.The back button works by inserting the last page the user was on into an array and when pressed the back button moves back to the last page (framelabel) in the array.
i'm loading an external .txt file into a text field and displaying it as html, works fine... but i when i include a link to display a *second* .txt file in place of the first one, it only works if i click on the link twice. i'm using 'asfunction' in the html link in the txt file. someone suggested replacing 'loadVariablesNum' in the root script with 'loadVars.sendAndLoad', but something isn't right

The problem is that text is being wrapped around an image. How can I get the text to be displayed under the inserted image?
I 'm trying to make it so an image will scroll with a specific line of text in a text field. I know that using delta of the scrollEvent will give me direction but everytime i try to increment and decrement the y value of the image the image doesn't follow the line of text perfectly it tends to "crawl" if you will.

View 1 RepliesWhen I load an image into a dynamic textfield using the img tag, the text flows around that image. Which is ok for me. The text wraps to the right of the left aligned image. But is there some trick to only have it wrap about halve of the images height? So halfway down I would like to be able to force the rest of the text to continue below the image. Is there some trick to that? Or could/should I only add some break tags until the text is below the image?
View 3 RepliesI have built a very simple Flash gallery in CS4 using AS2. It calls the images from an XML file and works great. The problem is that the captions underneath the images are in a fixed width text box. They look fine underneath horizontal images, but I want to have the text shift in when a vertical image is loaded, and is narrower.
