is there a way to know the url of the page a flash movie is embedded in, from within that embedded movie? kind of like in php, $_SERVER ['PHP_SELF'] returns the page itself. i'm trying to pass some url string queries back to the same .php page in a getURL()these don't seem to work:
getURL("?myFoo=foo");
getURL("#?myFoo=foo");
I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?
View 1 RepliesLet me ask how to program an html page to move to a new web page on user's clicking an item of an embedded flash movie? But , in detail, I actually want to do a little different thing. I want that the parent html page remains there ,instead I want a child html frame has a new page after user's clicking the list item of the embedded flash movie.
View 2 RepliesI have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution?
one?
I want to build function on my site where I click on the link, and a new page (background opacity maybe at like 50%) - which consists of a video in the center and a link or two - floats on top of the already existing html page. I've seen this done a few times and I think it's a really cool function.
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to recreate the effect on this page [URL] change the height of the page and notice how it's content moves.
how you make a .swf placed onto a html page be as wide as the page, and let the flash file know how wide it is being displayed so the content does not stretch out
I have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

I need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf .The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page.The following items have not worked: soundChannel.stop();,soundMixer.stopAll()
View 2 Replieswhen 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 want to set link of another html page on flash file.

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay(30);}
function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
i'm an motion-graphics designer, who had experience with flash only this was 8 year's ago. I'm not a programmer so I allways had people around me who could do the flash things. So I absolutely have no idea how it works.
Now i'm making a website, with an swf which play's an flv. The flv can be paused etc. now is my question, after the flv is played I want this to redirect to for example index2.html where are a couple of links. and from that page you can go to the next.
I've seen on the web a lot of reactions about this question, people say use the playerdiy.com. but that's not gonna work for me now.. Because i have set the design up this way (picture in swf which say's ichap etc, with a black solid where the video is been played).
Playerdiy does what i want's but i wanna have my swf design what I used here: [URL] this is with playerdiy: [URL]
I have a .swf with my animation. Then I have another .swf that contains my preloader. I haven't used preloaders before. I usually just publish my .fla to an html page and upload to my website. But if I have a preloader (another .swf), how would I go about setting that up on an html page?
View 2 RepliesI've developed an html page that displays a FL7 swf embed on top, and a FL9 swf on bottom. If a user doesn't have FL9, I don't want to prompt an upgrade request - instead, I'd like to have the FL9 swf swap out for a jpeg/gif. Therefore, my FL7 portion will always be there, and if they happen to have FL9, they get extra content.I'm unable to upload the current code due to the content... but here's the current code snippet:

1. I have an .swf framework file that imports two other .swf files into itself to be viewed. The actionscript to import the other .swf files is as below. This works in firefox 3.0.5, but not in any other newer or older version of firefox, even if they have the latest, and same flashplayer 10 versions installed. It doesn't work in explorer either but in opera it works. I't doesn't matter if I use mac or PC. Why ? Is there something wrong with my actionscript ? For now the page with the imported .swfs just shows up empty.
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadHandler:Object = new Object();
loader.addListener(loadHandler);[code].....

I've used a html template that use div tags to center content both horizontaly and verticaly in any browser.The centering works fine, but when I put in the code for embedding my framework .swf, it starts chewing alot before the .swf shows up.

View the source code in any browser to see if I have made some misstake putting in the code for flash embedding...

Was just wondering if its possible to have a two swf files on the same html page that can communicate to each other.
I have one movie that asks a series of question and what I'd like to happen is for those results to be shown in the 2nd swf. Sounds simple, which means it probably isnt
1 -I have a flv file on one frame.I imported my video and CS3 added it to my library.I change parameters to autoplay and autorewind. This is on one frame.My flv file name is movie.flv
2- When this is done playing I want it to automatically go to main.html
3-I read a previous answer on this that gives the following code which I inserted right on the same frame that my flv is loaded.I named the instance name of this flv as "flv"
It isn't working.Here is the code I picked up on previous forum:So I put this on the frame where the flv is loaded which is scene 2 frame 1 and instance name of flv.
flv.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);
function completeF(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("main.html"));
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler .The class or interface 'Event' could not be loaded.I can't add a get URL code because it is a flv on one frame.
