Beginner question here to which I haven't found an answer to: I have an external XML document loading within flash and was wondering if it it's possible to change a frame/label from withing HTML rendered content using getURL?
This is probably not possible, but is there a suitable method for doing so when it comes to loading external content and controlling the timeline?
I need to develop a site with a navigation SWF file that changes the content of an HTML page, WITHOUT reloading itself and thus losing its current state. What I think I need to do to have smooth transitions, is keep the same swf file loaded, while having it change the page content below it.
I have some complex html content to include in the pages that is not supported by the tags available in Flash's dynamic text boxes. I have considered the idea of iframes, but I don't know how to load iframes using flash, or how to use them without refreshing the page.
my website has a flash menu that is a little bit annoying to see reloading everytime people hit a button. So i would like to set the buttons action to send a javascript variable or something like that. This way the html content, above the flash could change with a javascript include which would use this variable to know what page should be included... something like that. I don't know how to do this (flash to javascript and the use the variable to include a page content)

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to figure out if this is possible to execute on a dynamic page.http:[url].....Basically, after all the page has been rendered, Flash needs to take the rendered page and apply 3D transformations to it, and at the end, restore the original rendered page.
View 1 RepliesI've used, for the first time, the htmlText method to render the text in my textfields as html text that is provided by a xml. So in the xml i introduce the html tags. Don't have experince with this so i'm asking you how can i do it properly? Every time i use a tag except <p> i get another extraline. For instance: "This is my text. <b>Starting</b> with a boldy little line."

I have a dynamic text box, which is fed text from an external text file. The "render as HTML" button is turned on. On the external text file, what is the HTML tag for centering text? I tried CENTER, but it failed.
View 5 RepliesI am using AS2 and am trying to load text with the html formatting in place. The button for render text as HTML is clicked and I tried using the action script with the same purpose. Some of the html reads, such as <b> instead of <strong>, the <p> and </br> tags are working. I cannot however get <i>, colors, etc... to work. I have embedded all of the characters and glyphs into the dynamic text field. Nothing seems to be working for several of the text attributes which are present in the .txt file I'm loading.
View 5 RepliesFlash's dynamic text rendered as HTML will not render � or � Try it yourself, it wont work.Yes, I embedded the symbols, I also embedded ALL 39477 GLYPHS just to test it - and it still didn't work.
Yes, I tried £ ¥ (insertAmpersandHere)#163; (insertAmpersandHere)#165; I also tried %A3 %A5 but perhaps I applied it wrong?Here is my code - all instances in the script of � � £ ¥ %A3 %A5 do not show the symbols:
htmlText = "My text: � � £ ¥ (insertAmpersandHere)#163; (insertAmpersandHere)#165; %A3 %A5 ";
Remember, this text is to be rendered as HTML - when it is not rendered as HTML, the symbols are rendered (because I embedded them) but I want this text rendeed as HTML, unfortunately, Flash overlooked the 2nd and 4th of biggest economies in the world's currency symbols?
No matter where the EnterFrame event is registered, the frame would not be rendered after the EnterFrame event handler done in each frame.For example, I have two unrelated MovieClips:
Code:
oneMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tick);
function tick(event:Event):void {
if (otherMC.currentFrame == 20) {
otherMC.gotoAndPlay(5);
}
}
The frame #20 of "otherMC" will never be rendered on the stage, right?
I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.

The HTML content below the flash content not displaying in IE8 browser. Here is the code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,24" width="100%" height="100%">

I have a html main.html as given
----- main.html----------------
<title>FlexTrail</title>
<script src="main.js"></script>
<frameset rows='200,200'>
[Code]....
I want the other file to open in same window bellow the first one.But the problem here is when i run this in IE8 the other frame opens in a different window but in Firefox im not getting any respose.
Note:- Javascript is enabled in both browsers and popup are not blocked
Not really looking for a code example here, just an idea of what I should start looking into.
So here's the question.
Is it possible to change the HTML, or even run javascript into an HTML component after load?
I would of course need to have a listener, and when it fires, then do... something.
Do you know what that might be?
I'm developing a Flash application which is communicating with Javascript to allow more features such as custom html input etc., by placing an absolute positioned div on top of the flash application and controlling it's position etc. with Flash & Javascript.
Because these html elements have to appear above the flash content, I figured the following basic css would be enough to do the trick:
#flashContent {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
[Code].....
So, the htmlContent has a higher z-index than the flash content and thus it should be shown above it. Unfortunately, this only seems to work when you set the Flash object's "wmode" parameter to "transparent".
The problem with this setting is that it's seriousely decreasing the application's framerate to an unacceptable amount.
For static content this does not seem to be a problem, however for my application there's all kinds of elements that you can drag around which have to be moved real-time (while moving the mouse).
So, how do I enable html content on top of flash content without using the "transparent" wmode parameter or how do I optimize framerate when using the "transparent" wmode parameter?
I have an xml doc which works beautifully....now I want to edit the "content" so that it display html content, ie....within the text of the "content" I could add bold tags or add a links or something like that....I have looked up and down and no thread I could find has a straight forward definitive answer...not just on here either...is it that difficult...i doubt it?I will have to set the properties of my text box to accept html...right?so something like this....
theText.html = true;
THis was my attemp...(the first part)...but no deal...

I know this may seem like a really simple and stupid question. I'm a programmer, but new to actionscript and my main problems are related to the way flash works (not inherent problems, just my lack of understanding). I've modified the XML Tutorial to load more than one XML file. It works well, but the only problem is, I have a textfield on another frame, which I want to load in the frame 1 actions. The XML code isn't the problem, just an a little background on why I am using ".text =". When I do this, as a test, from within Frame 1 of Layer Name Action Layer;

I have a widget that is displaying an ATOM feed. The widget can be placed on any html page and the content can be changed by changing some parameters within the feed address. What I want to do however is make it so that the content changes based on the content that the page is on. So for example if the page the widget was on displayed content about cars, the widget would load feed content associated with cars. How to determine the context of an html page from within Flash?
View 1 RepliesI worked through Kirupa's "Simple Custom Scrollbar" tutorial and successfully adjusted it to fit some of my content. Then I put it in a movieclip. I was hoping I could just go into each new instance of that movie clip, put in new content and be good to go. Unfortunately, when I edit the content inside my movie clip it edits the content of all the scrollbars in my timeline.
I tried renaming the instance "contentMain" to "contentMain2" in a second movie clip, that I also gave a unique instance name to, and adjusting the actions to match, but that still ended up renaming it in the other the scrollbars in my timeline as well as adjusting it in the actions of all the scrollbars.
I have edited the pageflip script and file to suit what I need to do and my issue is not related to the usual addition of pages or content etc... but is to do with publishing the file. I have increased the sizes of the page from what they are in the original file and this is where the issue lies because when I come to publish the file as an exe the content no longer seems to fit the window when published and you have to expand the viewer. The instructions for quite a lot of the pageflip is there and pretty easy to decipher however outputting/publishing the file seems to be unclear.
Can somone please point me in the right direction for resizing the stage or changing the settings so that the published file shows all the content without the need to resize the window?
I've seen a site a while back that as you went through it it would change the url without reloading the page/swf. I want to know how do you build a Flash banner and buttons and as they the movie plays or they click on buttons have it change the url and the html text but leave the swf playing? Can this be achieved without too much hassle or will it require advanced coding?

I have a website that I have to alter the <title> tag that shows up in the browser as the sites name through using Flash as3 and xml. I was wondering how to access the <title> tag so that I can create a variable in flash, that retrieves whatever string is within the <title> tag of the current xml document that is being accessed? All pages need to have the same title, so it doesn't need to be too complicated, I just need to be able to alter the tag through xml and as3.

I am designing a website which will have four hover buttons in the corners and flash content in the middle:
I am using the following code for the buttons which works fine:

img#topleft { top:0; left:0; }
