I have been put in charge of building a website for my company as kind of a side job - so I downloaded a nifty looking template that I thought would be pretty cool to use.
The template consisted of a flash animation that was on top of a bunch of data, clicking the links in the flash animation however would load up another .html and would reply the intro of the flash _every_ _single_ _time_
I am making a flash site where one of my pages loads an external swf. In this external swf I have sub pages with links. My problem is when I visit a page from this external swf, and then go to a page from my main website (clicking my main time line buttons) and then go back to the page with the external swf i was previously on, the page would go to the last page i was on, instead of refreshing it back to the main frame of the external swf.
I made a small, simple example of what I am experiencing on the site I'm working on.

I have a mainMovie clip that consist of different movie clips. Inside of my mainMovi I have another movie clip that is called "Menus" this where all my navigation is but the frame labels are inside the mainMovie.
[Code]....
I have a button, and on it, there is this code:
on(press){ gotoAndPlay("second");}
the frame I want to link to is labeled "second", but the link is not working. What is wrong?
I have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?
View 6 RepliesI made 3 movies, one of a street, one of the street to the left and one of the right.What I actually want to do is, to play the video of the middle street, stop it after 4 to 5 seconds and put text on where you can see the street left and text on where you can see the street right.
So if you'd click on the text left, the movie needs to play of the left street, the right with the right.
To make motion stops where the text is coming I'll put a jpeg of the end of the movies, that I also use as a pause of the movie.
I know you can make links into html files, but I'd rather have 1 swf file so there is no loading between 2 html files.I tried to use actionscript (however i dont really know any commands ) on text, but it says that the item cannot have a script on it.
is it possible to link a frame inside a movie clip from main time line?
View 4 RepliesI have created a basic flash navigation menu bar for my website. I have added the bar into a frame on my dreamweaver page. I was just wondering if it was possible to link the buttons on my flash bar to open the pages into the main frame below my navigation bar? The code I have at the moment for my "home" button is the following:
master_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLI CK, homeF);
function homeF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var homeL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("C:UsersSalisburyDocumentsProjecti ndex.html");
navigateToURL(homeL,"_blank");
and this is opening the "home" page in a new window. Is it possible to make it open it in my main frame (called mainFrame)?
I have a website that I originally began to design in flash but later started developing new pages for it in html. The flash part of it has several pages on different frames and I have created links from the flash part to the other html pages, but, I can only link the html pages back to the main flash home page, and not the other pages in the flash part of the website.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a text link within a scroll box jump to another frame within the same Flash file. Is this possible without having to make a button or movie clip? For some reason if I insert an object like a movie clip or button in the scroll box, it appears in a different area when I publish the file so I can't use that option for links.
I need to be able to highlight the text and then program it to jump to another frame label.
1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
I need to add a link when the flash and buttons load. Under symbol definitions i have button defined, and i have this in each button item:
onClipEvent (load) {
num=3;
}
How can i add a link to another page on my site? I tried doing this, but it did not help:
onClipEvent (load) {
num=3;
link = "aboutus.html";
}
I have a script that is a flash based scroller that takes the information from an xml file:There are scrolling thumbnails, when you click on them it takes you to a new url page. Only it's loading the url in the same window and I'd like for it to load in a blank or new window.Here's what I have now:
Script from FLASH:
filename_list = new Array();
url_list = new Array();
title_list = new Array();
[code]...
I think there are probably three options:
Load the link in as a flashvar and allow the Flash to open the URI
Load the link into the Flash file using AJAX/AJAH and allow the Flash open the URI
Just have the Flash file call a Javascript function that opens the URI
Is one of these methods better than the other(s)?
I'm working in a CMS, so each method requires a different process to edit/control the link. In #1, the editor needs to open the Flash node and add the path to a flashvar. In #2, the editor just needs to add the path as an anchor with a specific ID to a page (or XML). In #3, the paths could be stored in many different ways. The links aren't known when the Flash files are created, so they can't be embedded in the Flash. Is there a performance/efficiency/compatibility/good reason to use #1 over #2 or #3, etc?
I want to load variable with multiple parameter link so i will load it in flash Like i have text file like it :
link1=mylink/youlink/ghe&ghik?dfds.blabla.html
link2=mylink/youlink/ghe&ghik?dfds.blabla.html
so how i can load it in flash?
I want to get an idea on how the majority of people structure the flash websites they make.First, do most of you actionscripters, when creating a website, use a parent movie that holds the sites navigation and an embedded blank movie clip to load individual content pages? I get the feeling that is true because it saves a lot of space in your swf file.
That was the easiest question. Next, when you create a transition effect to keep the viewer occupied between loading different pages, how do you usually go about this?Assuming you have a blank movieclip in the main SWF to load individual page content.Do you have a movieclip animation that is called in the main SWF that is a layer above or masks the container movieclip which is loading the external content? Or, do you have the transition in the actual content SWF, with a transition in effect, midframe with the content, then transition out effect.
It seems the second choice might be a little more repetitive, but maybe a little more simple, then again, maybe not.My last question is not actionscript but javascript.I want to load my flash file from a link on an html page that launches a new window that is perfectly sized around the flash movie, with none of the menu bars and that works on windows(ie, netscape, opera) and MACs.As a secondary, if its possible,I would like to have the flash movie pop up into the center of the screen, right now it pops into the top left corner.Here is the script I have. It works for PCs with IE, but a friend that looked at it on her MAC had to resize the window:
Code:
<A HREF="" onClick="window.open('flashmovie.html', 'newWnd',
'width=750,height=400'); return false;">Try this</A>
The flash.html is the automatic html page that flash publishes your SWF file.
so i got my page set up pretty much, to sumarize its mostly 3 divs. one with a flsh banner, one with a flash menu, and the other is the content div, with html in it. you click on a link in the flash menu and it loads one of six different pages. but i came to realize that every page has the same banner and menu in it. it would be nice not to have to reload them every time. is there a way to just load different html in the content div by clicking something in the menu?

I'm building a flash application where the user can play multiple 30 sec .flv movies (one at a time) in slowmotion by pressing or holding down the left and right arrows keys.The user can hold/press "keypress right" to move to the next (key)frame and "keypress left" to move to the previous (key)frame in the .flv files.I have tested embeeding one .flv movie to the stage and it's working fine.But since I will be using many flv's I want to load the .flv's dynamiclly (on button clicks) using netstream or FLVPlayer. Would it be possible to step beetween keyframes in the same way if the .flv's are loaded dynamiclly? Or, must I embeed each .flv file into separate swf's and then dynamiclly load the swf's to my main stage?

I want to be able to do the following:
Type out a sentence and then highlight one of the words in the sentence and create a link to go to another frame.
The only other way which is time consuming (Especially with possibly hundreds of sentences) is to create each word as a button and then fit each word as a sentence together.
surely there is an easier way?
It will be the basis of an Elearning course for kids to click on a word in a sentence and based on their choice they go to a Correct or Wrong frame.
Captivate cannot do this unfortunately.
I need to create a link to a particular frame that uses a frame label in AS2, so the AS code would be within the time line on another frame. I can either do this with a hyperlink if that is possible or I can create a button and convert to a MC. Whichever way is easier.
View 4 RepliesI purchased a TM AS2 Flash 8 / XML Template. I'm trying to figure out how to create a text link inside my XML content that can link back into the flash movie to a specific MOVIE/FRAME.
I've found where a XML text link can trigger a function (<a href="asfunction:_root.more_click_func,0">), but I can't seem to figure out how to simply go to a specific frame in the flash. I would think that this would be easy. ??? I don't need to do anything dynamic, except load the link exactly as presented in the XML file.
