In all previous versions of flash I have been able to use "geturl" on a button and pull up a pdf in a local directory on my computer. Now with CS5, the same code pulls up a webpage and actually tries to go to a url. Is there a new way in CS5 to open a pdf on my local drive?

I am using basic addEventListeners and functions to create a basic navigation for my homepage... when I test the movie on my local drive it fuctions perfectly, but when I upload it to the www, the movie behaves different... All the buttons must be clicked twice to function properly.... each button uses the UI Loader to load the appropriate .swf clip, but on the first load the movies dont function properly, when the same button is clicked again and the movie is loaded again, it works fine. I noticed cause I have a preloader for every movie clip that loads and on the first click it doesnt work, on second click it works, and because it function fine on my local drive I'm lost as to what I can do to fix the problem, or what the problem is.
View 12 RepliesI am trying to create Flash video for usb drives sold to customers with their pictures on it. After the video plays, can I have a link to a local folder, IE: named YOUR_IMAGES on the drive, and have that folder open on their machine when clicked? Or is there to many variables with what what the drive letter name that will be assigned on customers machines? So there will be the same .SWF on every drive sold, then a folder named the same thing with the customer pics on it.

View 5 RepliesI'm looking to create a solution that will enable me to have a folder of AVI files on a USB drive, packaged along with a custom designed player (probably built in Flash). I would like to creare the packaged flash file in a way that will autorun on inserting the drive if at all possible. The solution will need to be platform agnostic (hence my thinking that Flash would be the best bet). Has anyone come across a tutorial for achieving anything even similar to the above?

We would like to build a flash video player into our corporate intranet site, currently we are evaluating JW Player and have come across and issue accessing the FLV files stored on a mirrored share drive that all users have access to on the local intranet.From what I can tell the Adobe flash plugin will not allow a SWF file hosted 'online' (intranet) to access a shared directory that the user has access to. Is there any way around this?

View 11 RepliesTrying to set up a getURL to link to a local htm file, NOT a page on the internet. All the tutorials I have read tell me how to link to a file on the internet I'm trying to set up an intranet site for my training college where students can access training resources etc on the local network. Therefore my getURL needs to point to a local file, not one on the internet. I'm trying to link to a .htm file that resides on my computer. Does the htm file have to be in the same folder as the .fla file?? How do I do this?? I'm working on a Mac, Os X, MX 2004, if that makes any difference.
View 1 RepliesI have a two frame page - the left frame is a custom flash Tree object that parses a number of IMS-compliant manifests (basically an XML tree menu structure) and the right frame displays the href of the tree object that is clicked. If i run this from a server, it works fine and displays all links in the right frame. But if I run it from a local or network drive it opens all links in _blank.
Adobe have a technote on the new allowScriptAccess and getURL in FP9 [URL] but dont mention anything about this issue (that i can locate). I also cannot see how opening all pages in _blank can fix any "security" issues. Can anyone confirm that targeting html frames locally via getURL under FP9 is now not possible or has been changed? or is this a bug (sorry - undocumented feature)?
When I originally made this flash, I created a button to access a web page that I had uploaded to my university server.
Now I'm attempting to compile all my webpages and flash to a CD for portfolio purposes and am having trouble redirecting the button to access the html in an adjacent folder to where the flash is stored.
Here's an example of the original button AS:
on(release){
getURL("TheURL(sorry I can't post links)", "_blank");
}
I wanted to achieve some basic functionality
loadVariablesNum("http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/myscript.pl?act=NewArticle","0",'POST")
My script myscript.pl is designed to return an appropriate varibale value to load into this flash movie so te remaining logic will work.
Now my problem is this WORKS in standalone flash movie but when I upload the movie to [URL] for example this does not work. I tried to put a relative path to my script, even that does not work. I want to make the movie Flash 5 compatible.

I have a menu that navigates my webpage. Say, for instance, I click on the "Home" button, it should take me to the homepage.I want the home page to open in the same window, not another window or tab. So I used this code:

Yet the homepage opens in a new window instead of the same window. Should I be using the "_self" parameter, or something different?
I have a strange getURL Problem under some windows installations. I autostart a Flash-projector from a CDROM. This file contains some buttons with getURL. When clicking on the buttons, the browser starts and shows a HTML-file from the CDROM.But under some circumstances this won't work. We have found some Windows-installations where we are not able to start the browser by calling getURL.I know, this seems not to be a Flash problem. It looks like a problem in the interaction from a Flash projector and Windows.

Well, the problem is that it not only opens a new window with the bonus (without the data ), it also opens the bonus in the current window (with the data), forcing the user to "go back" to the flash website and loading the entire animation again. This is the code in the Flash form asociated to the Button:
