I was thinking of adding frame on top of my home poage to give users better navigation with a meun on top.But how do you make when you press the button in flash the hyperlink will make the frame at the bottom or specific frame page to change?
View 2 RepliesI want to place a Flash header in an HTML page with frames. I followed a tutorial from this site: [URL]
I could not figure out how to apply it to my own page though, because it didn't explain how to set up the HTML frames at all. I set up a frameset in Dreamweaver, so I have 3 frames, called "topframe", "mainframe", and "bottomframe". In Flash, I applied the following action script to a button as the tutorial instructed:
on (release) {
getURL("affiliates.html", "mainframe");
}
However, when I click on the button to go to "affiliates.html", it opens in a new browser window instead of the main frame.
I am trying to build a site that would give users the ability to upload a picture to a picture frame on my site. I would like AS3 to dynamically re-size, and upload the file from an upload bar under the frame.
View 1 RepliesI am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop ();
function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
}
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
i always see some fancy/complex/elements got random motion: flash home page navigation, such as [URL] I just wondering is it very complex/hard to make one? & How can a newbi, like me get started to make one? does it involve complex/advanced actionscript?

View 1 RepliesI have a home.swf that is inside home.html.inside home.swf there is a btn with the following
cinema_btn.onRelease = function() {loadMovieNum("video_main.swf", 0);
inside video_main.swf is the following
loadMovieNum("video1/reels.swf",1);
the idea is to load reels.swf in level1 on top of video_main.swf in level 0 why reels.swf size looks much larger even though all swf's are 900 x 800?

when you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"
I have just created a website in Flash MX and I would like to have a youtube video on the home page. I see in youtube where it gives the embed code for html sites, but what do I put in flash and what is the action script?
View 1 RepliesI made a game with Adobe CS3 and posted it on the internet, and some users (very few, but some) have reported that the game doesn't work, it just runs through every frame without regards to stop() or anything else..
It's at 50fps, which might matter, and it's located at [URL] if you may need to take a look at it.
I just need to know if this is something that I can fix on my end, or if these people may need to update their flash player or what else it might be?

Is there a cross-browser solution available to give a flash banner an html link, without putting it into the flash itself? (i.e. the Flash has no clickable button in it). I tried giving the surrounding anchor tag a high z-index, but that did not work. I'm using the standard google swfobject to include the flash banner, but am not stuck on using that.

View 1 RepliesI am an html/css programmer and don't know much about Flash. I've just been asked to update this site which has many Flash elements. I just dissected the site but can't figure out where the slideshow is coming from on the home.html page. I opened the index.swf object and there are no images just a background. I believe the original designer used Flashbox for the slideshow and Flash as the backdrop? I think I have the other galleries (click View Rings portfolio or another portfilio) figured out.
It looks like it's pulling in a Flash file and the Flash file is pulling in images for the slideshow (at the bottom) from the images.xml file. I opened the Flash file (image gallery.swf) and the full pop up -- background and large photo and slideshow -- are included in the .swf file unlike the index.swf file. Am I correct? Not sure if a Flash file would pull in images from an images.xml file. How do I edit the Flash file if it's not pulling the images from the images.xml file? When I open the file it just shows me the .swf file in design view.Is this over my head and should I hire someone with Flash and Flashbox experience?

1. I have a flash movie embedded in an html page. When the user clicks on a button in the movie it should open the new in the SAME or CURRENT window NOT in a new tab (leaving that window open).
Here's the code..getURL("imageTest.html", _self);
2. I can't get my block navigation to show the CURRENT link.I want the current link or page on the navigation bar to be a different color than the other links.
I'm able to get the font to change color but I can't get the background or "block color" to change color.
I have a Flash MX navigation on an html page and I want to set up the buttons so that onRelease they will go to named sections on that html page; Thru the use of the <A NAME></A> <A HREF></A> tags.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a site with HTML pages and Flash based navigation, which basically means that the site content itself is standard in HTML/CSS format, but the main menu bar with the buttons and all is an SWF file. Needless to say, each lit-up button on the menu bar has to dim out on release and take to the corresponding page, e.g. clicking the 'Contact Us' button would cause it to dim out (as if unavailable) and open the 'Contact Us' page. Clicking a different button afterwards, would re-light the previous button and dim-out the newly clicked button and take to the page that corresponds to the newly clicked button, etc, you get the idea. There are 4 buttons for 4 pages.
Anyway, so far I've tried two methods which have failed:
Method A.
I exported four duplicate SWFs from the same FLA, with the only difference being the one unique button dimmed out and the other three lit up (a total of 4 combinations). Then, I put a different SWF on each page. This, the 'Contact Us' page would have the copy of the SWF with the 'Contact Us' button already dimmed out; the 'Home' page would have the one with the 'Home' button dimmed out, and so on. The obvious problem with this approach is that an SWF needs to load over again every time the page changes, which results in a brief, but, nonetheless, annoying enough blink. I hoped to combat this latency issue by loading all bitmap elements in the flash files externally, as opposed importing them to the library. I assumed that since all SWF copies accessed the exact same bitmaps from the exact same location, they would be cached in the memory somehow and not need to be loaded every time, so there'd be no latency. Then again, I was two days younger. This method failed. As Eric Bogosian's character said in the movie Under Siege 2, "Assumption is the mother of all" (you-know-what-ups).
Method B.
At a couple of other message boards, I was suggested another technique, which would require only one single SWF. A guy gave me a tiny peace of Java Script that would use a variable to inform flash about which page is called so it would know which button in the menu bar to dim out. Although this technique rid me of the necessity to use multiple SWFs, it didn't fix the nasty blinking problem AT ALL!!!
Method C.
I was also advised to "put info in a div and generate server requests to bring the appropriate info up". "You need to use ASP or PHP or some other server language" he said. Well, ASP is absolutely out for me, so I won't even consider it. As for PHP, unless there exits a very simple and straight-forward tutorial with source files, which I could very easily figure out, modify, and implement for my needs, I can't get into it because since I don't know PHP, it takes me a really long time to learn how to do a simple thing with it, which is something I can't afford right now with my deadline and all.
Method D.
I basically want to put the page contents into an iFrame window. Even all drawbacks of using iFrames considered, I still thing this is the optimal way for me. So here's where I currently am on this:I learned how to change the iFrame content using a function. Here's a simple test example, and here are the HTML and JavaScript codes for that example:[code]What I need now is to be able to call that JavaScript function and pass it the URL argument using action script instead.
I am working on a project that I need to create a flash navigation bar for a html site. There will be a drop down menu when you rollover the buttons on the nav bar, which means the drop down menu will be overlaying on top of the html pages. I saw websites were done like this before, but I personally don't know how to do it.

View 3 RepliesFirst off, I am new Second off, I hate action script it's a pain in the ass. Here's what im dealing with: Im making an info point computer program in flash cs3. After making several pages I am forced to make a navigation button to jump to the first frame(home).
At the home page you will be sent to several different pages (these links work just perfect. To create a home button i've made an button with the same code
Code:
home_now.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,homeClick);
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(1);
}
Unfortunate this does not work, while the links at the home page do work.
I've tried several things to fix it, but it won't do:
- Send to tagged frame "home" instead of frame "1".
- Change the instance name
- Putt the actionscript in the exact same frame.
Weirdly enough the home button does work on the keyframe where it is placed, even though I pushed the frame over all the other pages it wont jump to home.

For some reason I can't add ActionScript actions to a timeline frame within a Button Symbol, like I normally would with MovieClip symbols or on the stage. The Actions panel shows this message:"In ActionScript 3.0, code cannot be placed directly on objects. Please select a frame..."even though I definetely have a frame selected.
EDIT: Screenshot as requested. As you can see, a frame is clearly selected...
I have searched the forums and know that you can use

on(release){
getURL("somefile.htm", "someframe");
}
