View 1 RepliesI have an SWFAddress plugged to my flex application, and all works perfectly, instead of Browser's Back Button.
When user presses it, no event dispatched.
If you try navigate around, the url window will change to etc etc and the back and forword button seem to be working also, if you copy and paste the link, the flash will be smart enough to go to the indivual page alsoMy question is s below1) how do we make the back & forward button to work2) how do we contruct the url to be so dynamic
View 2 Repliesbasically this code will work like a browser back button its very simple but "could end up very long" basically it will act "similiar to the browser back button"
Code:
on (release) {
if(page1 = _currentframe){
_root.gotoAndStop("quiz");
} else if (page0 = _currentframe){
[code]....
it works when the (page1 = _currentframe){ is rotated with the first if statement...because for somereason it seems to not recognise the "else if's"
I have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.
View 1 RepliesI'm italian and I'm creating a CD to presentate a research to my teachers..this is probably a dumb question, but I need to make a 'back' button, similar to a back button on a browser. When people click the button, they get back to the previous scene (or frame: I didn't decide wether dviding the presentation's pages in scenes or frames) they came from.
View 7 Repliesve been looking for tutorials/examples of how the back button is used in flash and all i can find is the robbert penners way(loading frames), but like he's stating on his website, its too old(2001) and there are more better ways.nd what RP recommended. But like the most of the "tutorials" written on macromedia.com..ook at it and maybey explain it a lil better or maybey have a nice lil example of it.
View 5 RepliesI am currently working on a site where a button in the flash takes you to an external link. The user would like the browser back button, when you are on the external link, to take them to the page on the flash that was last viewed without restarting the flash. Is this possible?
View 5 RepliesI designed a website using tips from [URL]. It's a single .swf. Nothing complicated about the as3 script. Mostly gotoAndStop commands to jump around the timeline to the different sections of the site. My question is how to set up the site as individual swfs for each "page" so the back and forward buttons on an internet browser will function. I've seen samples of loading external swfs but it's not clear how to write scripts to jump around various pages for a website.
Here's the website: [URL]
Is it possible to make the flash content go back to some previous frame when the user clicks on the back button in the browser? Similarly, can the the refresh button be used to refresh to the same frame and not go back to the starting frame?
View 4 RepliesOur testing department found that my flash menu sometimes doesnt work after going back to a page by clicking Back button in browser (Firefox).
It happens rarely and randomly, yet still it happens.
i cant see any pattern in its behavior and any reason in it.

i've tested this in every way i could think of,
it gets ROLL_OVER event, but not CLICK event.
ive also tested it with hasEventListener and it always has. its just not triggering function.
BUT clicking anywhere on page outside flash makes it work again.
Question: whose fault is this? Flash? Drupal? Firefox? God?
UPDATE: it looks like its caused by <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>.
Firefox seem to have problem with that.

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].....
Now, my issue: Is there a way to tell flash that the brower back button has been hit? I am creating an array in a shared object and when the browser back button has been hit, I am wanting it to go back one in the array

View 7 RepliesI have a project in Flash Mx 2004. On the first frame there is a menu with 4 menu items. When the user clicks an item, they are taken to another frame with some text and an exit button that takes them back to the menu. The forward button will not become active until all of the menu items have been viewed. There is no particular order for the items to be viewed, just that they all be viewed before the forward arrow is active and the user can continue. I tried puttin an action on the exit button to disable the related menu item, however, the item just resets back to enabled each time a user re-enters the frame.
View 1 Replies[URL] once it loads, if you click any of the links (keyholders crab button, travel button, or opportunity button), and proceed to the page, and then click "back" on the browser, the flash does not reload, or "replay". The only way to get it to replay is to right click the flash player, and click "play".
PS.. This was made using adobe flash cs4 and AS3

View 1 RepliesI have the following problem, I have a flex application that works as a frontend in a client-server-application. In my application I have two sliders and a chart that moves when I drag the sliders, now when I have the following positions
slider 1: 10
slider 2: 20
a request is sent to the server and the response back to my flash. When I now change the sliders to
slider 1: 10
slider 2: 30
another request is sent to the server, because we have changed the position of slider 2. When I now turn the sliders again to the first position.
slider 1: 10
slider 2: 20
no request is sent to the server and the chart is moved correctly because the flash seems to know what he will receive, I think the application has cached the result. This effect only works when I open the flash application in the flash player. When I open it in the browser every slider position leeds to another request to the server. Is there a way to enable the caching also when I open it in the browser?
How can I programmatically click the browser's Back button from within my Flex application. I'm using deep linking to allow the user to navigate back/forth inside my application. I want this to work when BACKSPACE is clicked inside the application as well, but Flex captures BACKSPACE and the browser doesn't get the event. I don't want to implement browsing history myself within the application, naturally. Can I send BACKSPACE to the containing browser?
