i've made menu bar in flash cs4 as3, and i put it on to my website in dreamweaver. example one of my butons is btn2, and when i click on btn2 it opens a wanted html page that i've set , BUT IN NEW TAB :///
[Code]...
any way to open that html page in same tab, btw im using mozilla firefox
So the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.
I'm trying to link some text within a textbox. When the user scrolls down all the way to the bottom with the scrollbar and hits the text it opens an popup linking to another frame in the project. Basically Im trying to add some additional information relating to an word a sentence.
View 1 RepliesI have a website where my Home, About, Work and Contact pages are on four different frames on the time line. Once you click on the Work link from the opening Home page, your brought to the second frame where a little tween brings a bunch of thumbnails into view. When you click on the thumbnails, it brings you out of the .swf and into a new HTML page. The problem is getting back to the Work page in the .swf with out being brought to the opening Home page. I have used an anchor on the time line and changing my publish settings to HTML with anchors, and they do work! But, its opening my .swf in the Work frame and running through the movie back to the Home. Iv tried putting a stop(); on the Work frame, which does stop it but its a dead page, my tweens, buttons, everything is frozen.
View 1 Repliesthe project im working on is all database driven, there are no html files and all coding that is created is made by php then stored within a db to be called later on. now because of this i can't use relative links at all with anything i.e. images, videos and swf files.
so.....i am using swfobject to link to a swf file using absolute linking as shown in the coding below. but what i need to do now is link an .as file in my swf using absolute linking so i can call some arrays from the file.i have doubled checked to make sure my vars can be passed by local testing and it works but now i need it as absolute....is this possible?
Im having a little bit of a problem with a .flv file i want to put into a flash document for adding a play and pause button.
Im not sure why, but i get an error message every time i try to load the .flv
Ive tried same method with other .flv files i have to make sure - it is definitely just this one. I want to figure out whats up with it and have no clue about encoding, is it possible for anyone to just have a quick look to see if they can open it?
The file is at: [URL]

View 3 RepliesI just bought Flash CS5 for own computer. I already have CS4 on the computer at work. Unfortunately I get an error when I tried to open a CS5 project in the CS4 at work. My boss is unwilling to buy CS5. Is it truly so that you cannot open a CS5 project in CS4 or is there a way to adjust a project in both systems.
View 2 Repliesjust recently upgraded to Leopard. Flash now crashes when opening certain fla's (that worked fine before). The files sometimes open, but then crash the app when I select something on the stage. In these cases I can actually edit the actionscripts.I'm not sure if the crashes are related to Leopard; don't remember if I tried opening one of the problem files since upgrading.I'm on a MacBook Pro 17 2.33, 2gb ram.I repaired permissions (several times), ran various Onyx processes, zapped pram, removed all the prefs files I could find, and reinstalled the whole suite (CS3 Master suite). Bridge won't even open; it crashes on opening.

View 5 RepliesProject is a map of Europe - in Flash 8, with an xml document linked to it. for each country (or group of countries, where they need to be grouped together), there is going to be ultimately a URL link which displays a relevant article. The xml document needs to 'tell' the flash file there is an article - with the default being that there isn't (if that makes sense) - if and when there IS a story, that country needs to change to a button, which can be clicked by the user to open the article .. probably on a new page. thus far I think I need to have an xml document something like this (forgive my fumblings):

I am a graphic designer working on a project for a client at my office. We created a Flash brochure, with flipping pages and all the bells and whistles. This flash file will be put on a CD among other items, distributed to users on both PC and Mac systems. Within the flash file, there are hyperlinks that link to the web, but we would also like a few buttons to open up a Word Document on the user's computer for them to edit and print.
I've already seen in other threads a way to do it using executables, but to my knowledge EXE's do not work on Macs. Is there a universal alternative? Is there a way to do it on Mac and we can have two separate versions per CD?
I was using Flash MX 2004, but I thought it was time to update so I got Flash CS4. All my old files work when working in Actionscript 2.0 but then when I try and open using AC 3.0 everything dissapears but still remains selectable. The is no old actionscript in the file at all, so I thought maybe it somthing to do with the movieClips.

View 1 RepliesI have l a flash file in my pages that links to other pages within my web site but when clicked they automatically open in another window. How can I link them without opening a new window as would happen with a normal web page link?
Here is my current Action Script code: index.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,indexbuttondown);
function indexbuttondown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var bbcURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html");
navigateToURL(bbcURL);
}
I've created a flash intro for a website and I have it setup so that in the first frame of the intro it opens a popup window, and then in the last frame it opens the actual site in the same window as the intro. Right now when it hits the last frame it opens up the popup window again also! Ack! The code I've used for opening the popup window is:var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("player.html"); navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
the code used in the last frame to move to the site is:var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest('index2.html');navigateToURL(urlReq,'_self');
I'm guessing that it has something to do with re-using the same variable name. I tried changing the code in different ways on the second window opening but still had the same result, or broke it opening up any pages at all. I've also tried moving the two code snippets to different layers. I'm thinking there might be a few ways around this too such as if there is a way to trigger the popup window, and then have the intro wait x seconds and then opens the main site or something, but I have no clue how to go about doing any of this. have the site in question in a temp location currently and it can be viewed here: [Url]
In IE7 and IE8 block popup lock my external link (page html). I use GetUrl(url,"_blank") but not it works. I use flash cs4. With firefox it work
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a portfolio in Flash CS3 and AS3. I'm trying to avoid doing the whole thing in Flash, so the home page is a CSS/HTML header page that will house a looping flash piece underneath the header, and the inner portfolio will be flash pieces brought into the same CSS header framework.I'd like to know what kind of code I need to use in the portolio flash navigation so that the "home" link will open the CSS/HTML home page in its same window, rather than launching another window. Is this something that can be done using AS3, or do I need javascrpt as well?

I'm working on a Catalog for a company I'm employed with, but I'm having issues with the PDF files opening in a browser rather than Acrobat or Reader.The PDF files are all going to be on a CD, that once inserted launches a Flash .exe file which has a button for the end user to click and view the PDF.

View 1 RepliesWe've designed a training course in macromedia Flash MX, and a test in Microsoft Access (MDB) (so that the test could reside on an intranet server. Shared Objects wouldn't work because of this requirement). Anyway, I'm having trouble getting folks to open the database from Flash through an FScommand, and a getURL command works on some computers but not on others. If I could transform the database into an executable of some type, this could be readily opened by flash.
How difficult would it be to use director as a 'wrapper' so Microsoft Database Test (already designed) would open on any computer? What would be involved? I have Microsoft ODE tools 97
