ActionScript 2.0 :: GetURL, Reloads Swf When Using _self?
Feb 8, 2010
Using AS2, I have a simple flash navigation built using getURL to open various pages of the web site. I'm using _self because it's necessary to open the pages in the same window.The functionality works fine, the only problem is my flash navigation is on every page and when I "getURL" on the pages linked to from the menu, the flash reloads when the page loads. This creates a blank spot on the page until the flash loads.What's the best way to do my navigation so that it doesn't reload the flash on every page? Or at least I don't get the blank spot when going to a new page.

I have a movie clip with 4 frames. I programatically create 3instances of it, and send each one to a different frame. If I laterapply a color transform to one of the clips, it plays through allthe frames and goes back to it's correct frame. Why does it dothat, and can I stop it from doing that?

I have created a pre-loader that creates a movie clip holder then loads an external swf into the created movie clip holder. The pre-loader downloads the external swf but then the downloaded swf re-loads on entry into it's first frame.

For my current project I am working on a home page that has a series of tabs above a content box that each execute an ajax script to load new content into the content box. However, some of these pages contain a flash object called with SWFObject and when the ajax script calls the page, the SWFObject javascript is not executed and I am left with the no flash support error message.
I have tried defining a function for each video call (short of just designing a single function and passing variables to it) and having the function be called as part of the ajax function but I am left with the same results. I am not opposed to using something other than SWFObject though I have been lead to believe it is the best solution currently.

I have this code (AS 2.0 / FLASH 8) for loading swf from an array, and it works great except one little thing. The lodaded swfs reloads after one second and then it plays like normal. I have placed the start and stop attribute to ensure that the swf doesn't start before its fully loaded, but then this happens.
PHP Code:
function loadSwf(sceneSelect){his.loader.loadMovie(scenes[sceneSelect]);

I am very new to Flash AS3 and Flash Professional CS5. What I am try to do is show frames 4 to 10 (it just say CORRECT in bold) when a user selects the correct answer.On Frame 10 I have the code say "gotoAndPlay(2);", the problem is on Frame 2 I have action-script on that page and all my variables are re-declared and they all get reset as Frame 2 is loaded.How should I prevent the variables from being reset each time frame 2 is reloaded?

I'm working on an ezine, using the pageflip v2.11 from [url].... I can't get it to flip the covers unless they aren't hardcovers. It's killing me. All they do is show the shadow mask flipping, and not the page. I also have trouble with playing an mc, while it is located on the page. It reloads back to the beginning when you mouse over the corner of the page.

I have a flash within a holder div (flash container). I use swfobject to insert the flash object (if it makes any difference). I want to resize that holder div to make it smaller in width, when I achieve the "second level" in my "flash application". (with jQuery .animate() function). What "flash application" mean: I have a human body on wich I can click in different body areas. That is the first action - and the effect is to zoom onto that specific area of the body.
Then I can click again on a more specific zone into that area - and the effect consists in fetching some stuff via ajax. (it's some medical stuff, diseases etc.) - that's the "second level" in my "flash application". Then I can click on that stuff fetched via ajax - that's when I resize the flash holder. The problem is that, because of this resizing, my flash reloads and comes back to it's original state, without that zoom level. This reload appears in the "second level", and not when I click on the stuff fetched via ajax and the flash holder resizes. But that's the cause of the reload, because without this resizing, it's all ok. The problem is just in Firefox, I tested it in IE6,7,8, Opera 10, Safari latest and Chrome and there's nothing wrong there, the flash does not realod. Hope you understand what I'm saying here :) if not I cand send you a private message with the URL to see what I mean (I can't make it public)

I have trailed through endless forums and tried adding all the various codes.I have a movie that is embedded within a php page. The movie starts with an animation and at the end, an image emerges with buttons. The image that emerges is actually an xml run slideshow but I don't want to complicate it with this bit of information if it is not relevant. So the film stops there and the buttons remain with a changing background.
I would like to make it skip to the end frame if it has been played before, if someone returns to the page, so that the user doesn't have to watch the entire movie to get to the buttons.I have tried adding this to the first scene however it is pretty temperamental:
var myCookie:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("checkFirstVisit");
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
// Flash Cookie[code].....

Okay, so I'm pretty much a self-taught Flash newb, so please bear with me if this question has an obvious answer. I've searched different fixes, and none of them have worked.
I am making a simple button in Flash CS4 with AS3. The button has a hover effect and that's it. I am wanting the button to link to a different webpage when clicked on in the same window. I am using this code:
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void{ var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mysite.com); navigateToURL(request, "_self");}
When I test the movie in Flash, it works fine. It takes me to the webpage. However, when embedded online, it does nothing. I can click on it, and I will remain there on the same page. Like it's just a pretty image with a hover effect and no link. I've tested the button in both IE and Firefox, and it does not work in either.
Now here's the funny thing....when I use _blank instead of _self, it works just fine in both Firefox and Explorer. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

from within a browser this will work:
function bobhome(evt:MouseEvent):void{ var urlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest ('home.html'); navigateToURL (urlRequest, "_blank"); }
this will not:
function bobhome(evt:MouseEvent):void{ var urlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest ('home.html'); navigateToURL (urlRequest, "_self"); }

I'm working on a Flash navigation using AS3. It can be seen as is @ PhilipK .ca /portfolio .
I want to make it so when you click the button on the far right, for the second time it opens a link in the tab that the flash video is embeded.
Here is the code I am having trouble with...
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("philipk.ca/photo_gallery/photography"), '_self') ;
}
http removed before address because I am not able to post URLs untill 50 posts
I am wondering if I have to change part of the code within the HTML? Or am I doing something wrong with the AS3 code?

I've cobbled together a website for the family business using Flash CS4, but I'm having real trouble getting two interlinked .swf's to open in the same window. By the time you go from the homepage to the gallery and back to the homepage, you've got 3 tabs in the browser. How can I fix this? Here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
button4.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]....
The code is the same (different URL, obviously) for both links, but they open new tabs every time.
EDIT: It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe it didn't upload right when I put it on the FTP. So all is well now!

Strange Behavior in a flash I'm working on. And I must be doing something wrong because I can reproduce it in every flash I create. You can check out the behavior here at a test page on my under construction site:I have a menu bar at the top of the page, with the following code:
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn1Clic kHandler);
function btn1ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.i2ctech.com/"),"_Self");

How would I make this open in the same window instead of a blank popup window?
//Navigate to some URL

If I open up a web browser and then click the menu buttons, the buttons open the link up in a new page. Once the NEW page opens, the menu buttons start acting as I would expect, then opening any further links in the same web page. Is this some internet explorer security setting? Every computer that I have utilized (total of 5) to view the web page exhibits this same behavior.

This is the code I am using:
main_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):[code]...
When I click on the button, it does nothing but sit there with a blank stare like I did in physics class. It works fine if I switch it to _blank, but that is totally not what I want. Why is this not working?

I have this site I am updating and I have a little issue. I made a button that navigates to a URL with a _self target. Well, in the script, i have it like this:
Code: Select allclickhere2Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myHandler);
function myHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://app.playmakercrm.com/register/eNortjK0UjJWsgZcMAkeAcs!"), "_self");
}
the "_self" isn't working on the page, but when i take out the target, it works just find, it opens in a new page which i don't want. You can check it out here Code: Select [URL] and watch that flash header for about 30 seconds, theres a button at the end that reads "Click Here" try clicking on that and it wont take you to the URL.

I'm trying to create a 'tickertape' (horizontal scrolling text that reloads and loops in a masked window once finished playing). At the moment for visual purposes I have generated the following. This is linking to a movieclip at the moment but doesn't loop once finished... it just keeps incrementally scrolling until it probaby ends up in infinity somewhere...

I understand that the code below should work but it doesn't, I have to take the underline before self out, for the hyperlink to work at all, and then it creates another window for the file. There may some sort of glitch that I am not aware of. But the code below does not work as is in my app.
var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.htmlText = "hello world"+ "<a href='weeTestPage.html' target='_self'><u>click here</u></a>";
t.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
addChild(t);

When a user clicks on a URL, I want the new page to open up in a new window (or tab),instead of always in _self, which of course replaces the movie. I've trace'd the htmlText contents, and see TARGET="" where it's building the clickable links, which I assume the browsers interpret as the same thing as _self. Is there some better way to change the target for any URLs, short of doing a search and replace of the htmlText field
