I have a flash (AS2) menu that relies on xml. I need one of the links on it to to take me to a frame label on the main flash timeline. what I need to write in the link section of the xml code.
<element>
<text>Jill</text>
<type>text</type>[code].....
I was wondering how can I make my links in Flash readable for browsers? In other words, to be able to provide link to specific section of my website. For illustration, take a look at Jenson Button's website:The link above points to the "News" section, although the site is in flash.

This is all working fine. How can I further optimized the code (make it shorter) for last section?I created the loop for root.d and root.e of xml using for loop and while loop but then it does not add the xml values to the attachmovie text. I don�t know why?
XML.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
buttonArray = [b,b1,b2];

I've created an array from XML elements.I have my index saved in the var i
Code:
mc.index = i;
Now the problem I'm facing is dynamically changing a section of code.I had to hardcode like this for now.
Code:
mc.onPress=function(){
if (this.index==0){
point0.frame._visible=true;

I was just wondering if there is a code program/editor for actionscript where you can select/highlight a section of code and then be able to use the search/replace function to find a word in that piece of code you've just highlighted, instead of going through the whole document.
View 2 RepliesI have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.
[Code]....
I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
on [URL] what is the word 'section' in _root.section? I assume it is a movie clip instance, but can't seem to find it on the timeline.

View 3 RepliesWhat I need is a code that sends the user to a speacific page, everytime that button is clicked. The way I have been trying to do this (which may be wrong) is to set up each page on a different keyframe in the timeline (with stop actions on each one) - surely its now just a matter of adding an action to link each button to their page?
View 2 RepliesI created the following code by following a tutorial, and therefore do not fully understand some of the concepts involved, just that it works. The project is complete except for one external link. The problem I am encountering is when I create the link none of my buttons work, and their hover animations all begin playing repeatedly without me even hovering over them.

i'm having trouble finding a tutorial on this through google. in html, i have this code on a text link:Code:<a href="page1.html" onclick="return loadIframe('ifrm', this.href)">Page 1</a>basically just returns a page's height to the iframe called ifrm so that the height of the iframe will be dynamically changed.the page's nav is being changed to flash, so i need to somehow script that snippet into a flash button. normally i'd use something like:
Code:
on (release){
getURL("page1.html", "ifrm");

View 0 RepliesIs it possible to add code (...html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '_root.pageChoice = "home3" '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page.
View 4 Replieshow do you link(code) your swf pages to each other (through buttons) when making a flash site or portfolio?
View 5 RepliesI was given the following recommendation for my website:
Your flash menu links to home.html.However,since home.html is the default document, you're encouraging people to link to http:[url]... or bookmark it.If you ever change the name of the default document(home page),those links will break.I would change the link to be <a href="/">home</a> so it loads whatever default page you are currently using.I looked at my code and it says this:
onClipEvent (load) { num = 1; this.hitArea = this.area; link = "home.html";}on (rollOver) { if (_root.link<>num) { _root.icon1.gotoAndPlay("s1"); _root.item1.gotoAndPlay("s1"); }}on (releaseOutside, rollOut) { if (_root.link<>num) { _root.icon1.gotoAndPlay("s2"); _root.item1.gotoAndPlay("s2"); }}on (release) { if (_root.link<>num) { _parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2"); _root.link = num; getURL(link); }}
When I changed the first section to this, I got an error and the home button kept rotating.
onClipEvent (load) { num = 1; this.hitArea = this.area; link = <a href="/">home</a>;
how can I get a section of action script to only ever run once?
I tried attacting it to a movie clip and using onClipEvent (load) but now it does not run it at all..
I've been working at this all day and only have one little component left of my project to complete but if I can not get it to stop redoing my initial script all the time, I can not get the last part done..
how to cut out a section of a photo use for flash?
For an example I am trying to build a script where a user can change the color of a roof of a house. So If I take a picture how do I trace it or draw it where I can then make copies of it in different colors for people to pick a color and then make an action where the roof will change to that selected color.
I have a function that loads and XML file. Which populates a scrollbar with images. I have three sections in my application Education, Hospital and Retail. The images being loaded differ in these 3 sections only by there placement. So for example, in education the image order is 1, 2, 3. For Hospital the image order needs to be 3,1,2 and of course Retail is say is 2,3,1. I might add that more then 20 images are being loaded and it is only the first 3 that need shuffled.
I want to use the same XML file for each section. Rather than duplicated the code 3 times and write 3 different XML files, can I move the images to the correct position say using a if statement like if(education == true); then image order = this; or if(hospital == true); then image order = this. Does that make sense? Is that even doable?

I have a menu with 4 buttons, once clicked each button sends you to its corresponding section (frame label). Each section has a different loading animation. Once in a section I would like to go to another but before this that section's specific transition animation must play. Now I've looked around and all I can find is how to do this with a universal transition animation.

View 1 RepliesI'm familiar with flash and have used it quite alot... but just for animations and what not. I have never gotton into an understanding of Action Script too well. I want to use a XML based flash menu just like the found on this site here: URL...
-How do I have more than one Main section come up? I understand the basics of the xml part, but not in the AC.
- Also, how to place targets in the links
I would like to make this all horizontal and hopefully I'll be able to insert movieclips as the mouse on and off states.
Is it possible to test only a section of animation in a timeline? I'm trying to refine the last bit of animation at the end, and would prefer not to watch it all from the beginning again.
View 8 RepliesI am going to redesign a website and for that website I want there to be a news section on the homepage. The news section should be built in Flash with images representing news headlines animating on a loop however a user should be able to click one of these images and then within the homepage a Flash pop up will appear with the news article. This is similar to sites that have an image gallery with thumbnails of images but when an thumbnail is clicked then the full size image loads within the same webpage. I want a similar effect but in my case, when a full size image is clicked, a text based news article loads.

i have video playing on the stage.. there is a sprite called _rect that is moving around the screen when it finds a face in the video.. that part works great.. but what i want to do is capture the face the _rect is currently over, from the video underneath and draw it into a bitmap,, but it keeps just drawing the upper left corner of the video..what i want is if the _rect has an x of 300 and a y of 300 and its dimensions are lets say 200x200hen the bitmap it draws from the video is 200x200 but starting from x:300 and y:300.. but like i said..o matter where the _rect is located it keeps drawing from 0,0.
Code: Select allvar myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(rect.width,rect.height,false);
var clipArea:Rectangle = new Rectangle(rect.x,rect.y,rect.width,rect.height);
var myBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
