I'm creating a web site, and I need to add two buttons that, when clicked, will download two different PDF files. I have absolutely NO IDEA how to do this!!! Not a clue!
View 12 RepliesI am building a website for a composer and he wants his users to be able to download a jpg of him for use in programs and a pdf with a short biography for the same use. I thought I could do this by creating a new URLRequest, but when i click it just opens a new window in Firefox. Here is the code I was using.
programPhoto_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseClick);
function mouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void{var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("pictures/bio_pic.jpg");navigateToURL(request);}

Okay, developing my first flash site with action script I have run into two problems I can't find fixes to via a kirupa search, one (which is not really an action script prop) is that I have created a text box that has a unique font in it, I look at it from another computer that does not have that font and I was surprised to see it was using times new roman, [is there a way to make my unique font viewable on all computers without making it a symbol?] next, I have a series of audio files on this site but I would also like the viewer to have the capabilities to download them, what is the code to allow this?

View 1 RepliesI can't find a single tutorial that shows you how to add a download link to ur fla file. I got this snippet from the adobe file reference :

How would you insert a pdf file into a flash website and have it become a downloadable link?
View 2 RepliesI want that my flash file on my website, can't be downloaded by anyone. Is there any way that i can do that? As Firefox and many browser has many add-ones which easily detect out flash content and after they can download the flash file?
View 3 RepliesI have created a slideshow based solely on actionscript and a bit of XML. It includes a delay which dictates when the pictures fade in/ out. When I view the .swf on my computer the slideshow works perfectly. But, when the slideshow is put on my website the delay is not correct, meaning some pictures transition too fast or sometimes too slow, depending on which computer/browser is being used.
I have tried publishing the file in flash versions 7 - 9.
There are only 15 pictures that need to be loaded, each less than 50kb, so I don't think that really matters. The file size of the .swf file is less than 1kb, so I don't think that has any effect either.
So, I was wondering if there is anything that I may need to add to the code to make sure that things flow smoothly? Or is there some publish setting that I need to change?

how do you attatch file or can you attatch files so that when the blash button is pressed it will download a pdf?
Also when i publish my files and tell it to center this does not seem to happen within the webpage why is this?
I recently made a website and the links for the main page do not seem to link properly to their rightful pages when I put the site online (but it does work well when Im just testing the site on my computer in my Flash program) I know that the website I made is very large - so I was wondering if that could be a reason for why the pages don't load properly - also one of the pages links to another site and although that seems to work on my swf when I play it in my Flash player - it doesn't work when I put it online-
Finally my sound quality is not that great for the site. The songs are in mp3 format - would it be better to make them .wav files?
Or are all these problems related and its just that my computer does not have enough power to convert this massive flash website into a proper swf file? If this is my problem. What do I do?
The site that I made is [URL]
I am a novice Flash user as I have built one "members section" website using Flash CS4 (but used Actionscript 2).I am now in the process of learning ActionScript 3 and am working towards building a v2.0 of my original website. The original website uses a PHP authentication system, where a user logs in through a regular HTML page. Once authenticated, they are given the option to access the members section.I wish to eliminate the need to have our users log in through this HTML page as I wish this to be built directly into Members Section 2.0 however I haven't got slightest clue how to construct a users "login" function.
have users login (authenticate themselves) through the main page of this Flash project by the flash project referencing the MYSQL user names and password database. Additionally, there are three types of users that will be logging into this site (Status A users, Status B users and Status C users).
We need to protect various downloadable documents (Word files and PDF's) to ensure only those with the correct authentication are granted access to particular files. I.E. Status "A" users get access to everything, Status B users get access to almost everything and Status C users get access to very few files.
I assume the best method for this, is to store the files in three folders, once for each Status Class therefore Status A users will access files from the Status A folder, Status B users will only be able to access files from the "B" folder and so on. best method to protect these files from unauthorized access I.E. "C" users attempting to download a document that is only intended for "A" users?
I already made a game with flash, and I want to provide an easy download for people that would rather play offline. Thing is, i use a folder whole structure to dynamically load content per level. Folder structure looks like this, not that it matters that much[code]...
How should I go to distribute this? Should I just resort to make a zip file for the flash game and assume people know how to extract and open the swf? Is there any other way to port easily as an executable? Perhaps Adobe Air (not sure if this works though)?
I'm looking for a free flash player so that I can stream flv files on my website (like youtube). Anybody know of any good and free solution with no watermark?
View 5 RepliesI am developing a portfolio page. There will be 4 main SWF files. One which is the home page (with a few keyframes for some navigation to an about page and contact page) and 3 pages each a different skill page. Each skill page displays 3 examples of work that I coded using keyframe navigation. I want to be able to click on one of the skill pages from " home" and have it load the new SWF created from the "webdesign" fla... I can't find any answer anywhere for 3.0 actionscript. I have this code so far, but it just writes the new SWF over the old one.

is there any way, to hide the source of a flash in the sourcecode, so that the movie itsself is not downloadable, or better not to copy?

View 2 RepliesI had a developer who has been working on [URL]. He build it using all flash. I need to make changes on the website, but it seems like he is out of business. They don't answer their phones or emails. The website is hosted on their server, and I don't have the FTP details. I can mirror or copy my site onto my local computer, and re upload the site to a real company. I have access to my domain, so I can just point it to a new server after I have downloaded the website files to my computer.
View 4 Replieswithout explaining why, I need to run a flash slideshow from a live web page and it is for a photo exibition: The problem is that the slideshow, while running on a love site, must read the image files from the local computer that it is browsed from. If the computer is always the same and the files are in the same directory when it was developed, how would I tell flash that the files are not on the server, but on the local computer?

I'm a bit of a newbie at Flash and building my first website. I've built all the pages individually as different files and now I want to use AS to connect them all and link from my main page to the other files using buttons.
I thought I was on the right track with this code, but it returns an output error (both below).[code]...
i have an important swf file and i want to make full protection to prevent any one from downloading or saving the content in any way.
View 2 RepliesI am a complete novice when it comes to flash and web design in general. I have purchased a flash template [URL] which I have been able to customise to my liking for a small production company. I am now completely stuck when it comes to integrating videos within the site.
I understand that I need to have an Xml playlist and some action script that references the videos to the player, but I have no clue on what to do.
I am looking to have a video begin as soon as the site loads and then have the buttons on the orange bar allow the user to navigate between other flv files. I would possibly be interested in including firther links on the video samples page.
I was wondering if there is a website from where I can download free mp3 files to use in my flex project? I am looking for some mp3 files using which I can create simple sound effects (e.g., you press a button, you hear a sound). I read flex can only play mp3 files, not wav files. Is this true? What's the best way to convert wav files to mp3?
View 1 RepliesI would like to allow visitors to download flash files from my website.
I have the following code one my first button:
Code:
download_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("blankWebsite.exe");
}
This works fine and opens a 'Save', 'Open' or 'Cancel' pop-up box.
For button two (the xml file which visitors can use to populate the blank website they have downloaded) I have used the following code:
Code:
download2_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("template.xml");
}
However, rather than giving the option of saving the file (which is what I want) the file opens in a new browser window.
way to offer the 'Save', 'Open' or 'Cancel' options for the xml file rather than it opening immediately in a new browser window?

View 3 RepliesI have two external swf files which I need to load to the main page of the website, one is the about page which consist mostly of text, the other is an image gallery.Both of them have the same intro animation at the beginning.
My problem is, while testing the main page using bandwidth profiler, the about page loads beautifully, while the image gallery plays its animation first before it even finalizes to load the whole page.
how do you setup a full Flash web site, do all files including linked docs go in one folder?. are you suposed to use the publish pannel? The Flash site i am trying to create is to be used as an intrenet site that resides on the server how do I name links to doc in that folder?
View 1 RepliesI'm setting up a website and im using flash as a menu, but my problem is when I click on a button to go to a new page it redownloads the flash files, not just the menu but also my flash banner.
This only happens the very 1st time i click on the menu but its still very annoying having to wait for it to redownload again when it should already be there saved.
The problem does not happen if I use the html links on the page just the geturl links from flash.
What's the risk if it is between 2 websites or 2 webservices or between a site url and flash or embedded javascript ?
