ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Mailto Button Inconsistent On Different URLs
Feb 3, 2009I am stumped on a problem that I've been searching the forums for, but can't seem to find an answer to. I was hoping a Flash genius here might have an idea. I'm working on a site in which I'm having issues with a mailto button. Here's the deal. The site shows up in "two" places (although they both pull from the same .swf files) [URL] and [URL] The site is built using Actionscript 2.0 and publishes for Flash Player 6. I'm using both CS3 and CS4 (depending on what computer I'm working on) but always publish for CS3.
On the www location, the mailto button works properly and opens up an email. On the http:// location the button does NOT work, and will not open an email. These buttons can be found in the "who" section - when the user clicks on a profile it opens a new window with a headshot - which are the "buttons" in question. I've done tests on the server, nesting buttons inside multiple movie clips to re-create the scenario. And they work. And I've also changed the button to a movie clip using:

View 4 RepliesFlash :: CS4 Button Navigation - Direct The Button To Different Frames?
Nov 4, 2010I'm using flash for the first time to create my graphic design portfolio and I'm having trouble keeping the file size small, and can reduce it by (hopefully) doing the following:
My resume has a lot of classic tweens with alpha channels (to create fadein/fadeout effects) and as of right now, I need to create a separate layer of fadein, fadeout for each transition. IE: My resume to portfolio page needs one 20-frame transition, my portfolio page to resume needs a 20-frame transition, my 2nd page of my portfolio page to my biography needs a 20-frame transition, etc. It's getting out of hand.
I could easily remedy this by using a lot of separate fadeins fadeouts and then coding buttons to navigate from, say, frames 120-130 (resume fadeout) then go to frame 160-170 (biography fadein), then navigate to a static page. I'm not sure if this is possible, as my buttons would have to change functions each frame.
Another possible way is that currently for each button I have different layers in order to direct the button to different frames, and have placing hem in the same spot. I'm wondering if there's any way to have buttons go to separate frames on different frames, if you get what I mean (on frame 120 it'll go to 130, on frame 150 it'll go to 160 but still be the same button". Right now each button is coded with on release gotoandplay <frame>.

Mar 26, 2009I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest'
I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?

ActionScript 3.0 :: When The User Clicks The "exit" Button A Class File Is Called To Mark The User Complete In An LMS?
Oct 4, 2010I have a problem with a dynamic video player that I have created in flash. The video player is "SCORM" compliant so that when the user clicks the "exit" button a class file is called to mark the user complete in an LMS.I have tested the SCORM Code previously and it works with out issue. Usually I have the completion code embedded in an Actions Layer of the movie. This is the first time I have attempted to call the completion status in a class file, I have added a "trace statement" when the movie is tested within flash it runs the trace statement properly, but when uploaded to the LMS environment the course does not complete properly

Using Mailto With Variables?
Aug 7, 2009I have been able to get the mailto protocol to work in an IPAQ with Win Mobile 5 and FlashLite 2.1. I'm using AS 2. GetURL(url.........) However, I can't figure out how to add a variable into the body. The variable, deviceID, is gotten onLoad by fscommand2, status = fscommand2("GetDeviceID", "deviceID"), so deviceID is populated by a value.The challenge would be to write a 'mailto' script that includes the deviceID in the email's body. I've tried several scripts for adding deviceID, but none work.For example: GetURL("url....) creates an error (too many "?) and using parentheses does not help. GetURL("url.....?) also doesn't add the value of the deviceID variable, just puts <deviceID> into the message's body.Is this possible: populating the email message's body with the values of one or more variables?

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Mailto: With Special Characters In Outlook
Dec 13, 2011I want to send an email with special characters (like cyrillic) from a swf. To make sure it will be displayed correctly in the mail client, I use
encodeURI()
It works fine in Apple Mail, but in Outlook I only see gibberish. I learned that Outlook uses iso-8859-1 for "mailto:"-mails (at least by default). So two questions arise:
is there a way to encode the mailto: string in iso-8859-1? would this break the correct display of characters in other mail clients?
I am sure that the second question can not have a definitive answer, nevertheless I would be thankful for any advise.
EDIT: unfortunately, html email and php is not an option for me.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Mailto From External File Not Working?
Dec 2, 2009I am loading contact information from external txt files and everything is functioning, except my email links. The CSS hover effects work, but when clicked an email message will not open and the mouse doesn't turn into the little hand like it typically does over a link. I don't believe I changed my code at all, and these links did work previously, so I have no idea what I've done. And the code needs to be in the txt files, not in flash actionscript (there are lots of contacts I'm entering).
The following is what is in the txt files.
