ActionScript 2.0 :: Enabling Links On A Flash Website?
Feb 3, 2010
I'm a flash/as2 noob, but am completing a site in Flash. I have an issue with the links I made, e.g. link to another website or to an email. I have embedded the .SWF file on an html page, and when I open the html file and click on the links, I get a prompt saying "Adobe Flash Player has encountered a potentially unsafe operation" ... following that asking me to change my settings. Nothing happens on the email links too.
I am new to the community and to web designing and I want to learn how to build a flash website. I am looking for the basic and/or easier way to build a flash website with the links and animations to it.
I want one animation of a content area but i want the menu to run the animation and put in a certain .swf so i can have something like:when u click a button that is suposed to goto Home then it plays a MC that has Home as an external .swf loaded into it and when i click another link like Portfolio it starts that MC over but with Portfolio as an external .swf in it
how to enable the forward and back buttons in internet explorer for a 100% flash site? Looking for a tutorial which only uses actionscript if that's possible... found a few on google but they use javascript (in seemingly complex ways, and I dont know javaScript)... also named anchors arrent an option either because they dont truely take you "back," they only go to the prior named anchor on the timeline.. And, they only work on the root timeline.
I took an object and converted it into a button symbol. I want to be able to disable and enable the button in different situations. I used the action script code "myButton.enabled=true;" and "myButton.enabled=false;" but these don't seem to work. Is it possible to access this property of a button I made? if not is there any way to change the button in the user interface components? if not is there any other way to disable or enable the buttons i made?
the site in progress: [URL]..How do i tell said .swf file to re-enable the "i1" instance from the original .swf file it loaded into? I guess where I'm getting lost is how to tell one .swf to affect another.
I think if i knew this little tidbit, I would most definitely be able to have more control over my sites.
I'm a self-taught novice actionscripter and obviously don't know enough to do something as simple as this.
I'm having a pblm. when it comes to enabling a button(s) on/off I have a file; that with Adam14 and Scotty's help, I have working the way I want (swaping _X/_Y values), but when the button is cliked I want to disable it, untill another button is clicked... then enable it, and so on.
I thought of setting _global flags inside the buttons but then you actually have to click them twice to trigger the flags???? so then I took those flags out of the buttons and put them onto a container movieclip that looks something like this:
Is it possible to tab enable the href links in html formated text that is displayed in a TextField.htmlText property? I don't necessarily want to tab enable the entire text field, just the href links.
Since last few hours I'm trying to add mouse wheel feature (i.e. scrolling on mouse wheel movement) in MX components (scroll pane, list box) but in vain.
I'm creating a christmas calendar in flash, where naturally the movieclips representing days should be activated based on the day of the month.
I'm successfully passing the variable to flash in PHP ( I know because I used a textfield to see if the variable existed.) Then, in a external .as that is loaded after the variable is accepted I have the following code.
This code is supposed to enable the clips "nummer1, nummer2, ... nummer24". I know that the aLuker[i] = eval("nummer"+i) assignment of the movieclips is correct, as I use the same method earlier in my script to set the text in a textfield inside the movieclip.
What actually happens is that although the variable exists in Flash (as a _global even) flash ignores it and enables all the movieclips.
I've done some searches on Google and have found some useful information, but nothing to restrictive to AS3. Does anyone have any good references for enabling the back button in AS3?
I have a movieclip on my first frame that has some functions assigned to it from my 'actions' layer. When the user clicks a button, I want to go to frame 2, have the same movieclip showing, but disable the functions that I set to it in the first frame. Is there a way of doing this?I also want the functions to be re-enabled again once another buttons is clicked, to go back to the first frame.
I have 2 websites both built entirely in flash.My problem is that I have created a button on 1 of the sites that has to link to a particular scene and frame within a different flash website.
I'm looking to find the most efficient way of enabling a button ONLY after two other buttons have been selected. I've made the following radio type buttons in as3.[code]I'm trying to make the code follow something like this:[code]I only need one item from each of the lists to be true, not all of them.
I've been creating my first complex buttons and there're some details I haven't solved yet. How do I disable a button after being clicked and how do I re-enable it after clicking another button? I've come across this "removeEventListener" and tried it but I can't seem to work it out...
I've got a question concerning a button on my site but I can't get it to work. This is my code and I've tried to put ActionScript Code: logo_mc.buttonMode = true; on several places [Code] .....
I have a list with a dataprovider, it lists out buttons encapsulated in an item renderer. All I want it to do is have a skin that it changes to when it is clicked. I can get this to happen, but then it just goes back to its up state. I want it to stick on the down state, which I have to do by disabling the button.
I've got dynamic buttons, but obviously the rollover and rollout will be the same, but when I have a stab at enabling rollover functions, the buttonactions die
Code:
for (i=0; i<5; i++) { b = _root.attachMovie("stagebut", "button"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth()); b._x = 50*i+465;
I'm trying to make this script work which has a function to enable buttons.
// This script is on a seperate layer frame: // webnav, iden, adv, mult are instances of MCs btns = [webnav, iden, adv, mult]; MovieClip.prototype.enableBtns = function(btns) {
[code]....
The buttons disable but just don't enable again when other buttons are clicked.The button instances are on the path: _root.navbtns_mc.
how to load an external swf into my main timeline. As far as I understand this main timeline is the "parent". Hence the loaded, external swf should be the "child" (a quiz).Now the child (a quiz) loads into the flash file and is played properly, but I cannot access the button on the parent anymore. Unfortunately, I really need the home button on the parent to exit the quiz and allow for new navigation within the flash document.
I want to use a flash preloader for my php website. I have seen some javascript examples; but I want something attractive and cool. So I want use flash preloader which will show the percentage of the website loaded.My website is kinda heavy(with lot of images). It looks bad when the contents load. So I want to show a flash preloader while the site loads.
We are successfully using Captivate 4 to create SWF files leveraging a Flash Streaming Media Server hosted on a CDN.My question is, does anyone know how to leverage the dynamic streaming / adaptive bitrate feature in FMS 3.5 with a Captivate file? I have spent an entire day searching all over Adobe forums and am surprised to see this is not documented ANYWHERE and given Captivate REQUIRES FMS to stream, it would be incredibly poor design if it cannot leverage the best feature FMS has to offer!
We publish to Flash Player 10, and while FP 10 IS compatible with dynamic streaming, my challenge is Captivate only allows one URI path and one stream name.To deliver dynamic streaming you have to have several files with different encode rates availalbe. But if Captivate only allows one stream name,how do you point it to a stream that finds all the alternative files? I've explored this with 3 different CDNs and they don't know how to do it(Limelight, CDNetworks and Internap)
The reason I'm so interested is we are delivering a Moodle hosted eLearning course to users around the globe with VERY different internet speeds.We've followed all the best practices in encoding and this is the next step in making our course accessble to ALL users.For those interested,our files are mostly less than 10 MB, though some are as much as 50 MB, all encoded at 500 kbps.
i created a flash slideshow with pictures of events and link each picture with its own event (ie. each pictures has its own links to the website). I created the fade in and fade out effect using the class motion tween. With the link, I created a layer with a button that has alpha= 0 (so the user don't see it) and then I used code snippet to make another layer with the action script "click to go to url."
When the slideshow goes to the last picture I made it fade out and the first picture of the slideshow would show up and then the slideshow would replay itself (by default?). My goal is to make a continuous slideshow.
When I tested the swf file, the first time it runs, everything is right. The urls and the pictures are in correct order. However when the slideshow replays itself automatically, I notice that the links are incorrect. In the first play, when I click the picture of the event it would open the url of that event.However when the sldieshow replays, clicking the pictures would only open the url of the first event picture. When I click on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.pictures the browser opens only the link of the first picture of the slideshow.
I've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code: function messStyling() { messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet(); var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
I'm writing some code in Flash MX 2004 and everything works fine except for the last button (4DSystemsProducts).According to the coding if none of the drop down buttons work it should go to products.php, but for some reason it goes to 4DSystemsProducts.php. All of the other menus are coded the same way and work fine, if I take out that button it works fine,or if I take out button 7 and switch 4DSystems to button 7 everything works.Here is the code to clear up this explanation. [code]....
