ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking Button To Open Shadowbox?
May 10, 2011
I'm trying to link a button to open shadowbox. I keep getting an 1120 Error "Access of undefined property button". My code is as follows:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myWork);
function myWork2(event:MouseEvent):void {
ExternalInterface.call("Gallery");
}
Where I put the images I want to use in my shadowbox? Currently I've copied all the files that came with shadowbox into my root folder. I'm not sure where else to go from there. I'm rather new to flash.
I've been through the forum postings and have tried a few suggestions but I can't seem to find the answer to this: I'm trying to open a Quicktime movie from Flash in Shadowbox. I've searched at the ShadowBox forum, but no help. Hopefully one of you gurus can clue me in or thump me in the head one of the two.In a nutshell:I can launch the shadowbox from the flash button but a few things aren't clicking:
1. The quicktime movie is 640x360 and it only opens in a little window and shrinks the movie to fit. 2. The flash in the background disappears and goes black.
I've stripped a test down to make it as basic as possible.[code]
Iam trying to when i click a button on my flash website it opens a shadowbox with a youtube video. I foollowed all instructions in the shadowbox website but i can't get it to work. In my html between the head tags i had the following
I can only do so much with flash. I am having issues with linking to a video. Here is my question: please refer to [URL] and click on the video link. I have 3 videos that I want people to view when they click on the links:
- SI TU T'EN VAS (2001) - GWADA (2004) - JODIA (2008)
I need the links to be able to open a popup window in flash with 320X240 in size.
1- I imported each video in flash (separatly) using the 30rates/frames, progressive dowload from webserver. (the usual).
2- I allready uploaded the videos (.swf and .flv) on the server (godaddy.com)
3- In my main file, I created a button for each one of the links above using the invisible button with their own instances. they are each on a different layer.
im developing a web page flash-based and i want to call a gallery from a shadowbox. This is what i want:i want to click in a button and then open a shadowbox with my photo gallery. How can i do this? which is the code that i have to use in the button?
I'm trying to incorporate shadowbox into my flash. I'm very confused with the shadowbox flash instruction from their website, but this is what I have so far.I imported flash.net and created a button as follows
ActionScript Code: mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mybtnClick); function mybtnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
I placed the downloaded shadowbox folder onto my server along with the example.swf, but when I click the button on the site, nothing happens!
Here are two examples I did the shadowbox and someone else did the thickbox sorry i forgot source - if it is yours please let me know and I will acknowledge From my experience on using both of them, i found that a shadowbox is a much better option.
Shadowbox uses javascript to hide the swf object when shadowbox is open - can display flash movies in shadowbox itself. Thickbox relies on wmode = 'transparent' to show the thickbox on top of the flash - very crude solution which slows your framerate down alot and doesnt work in all browsers.
I am currently building a website in flash for a school project and it has to be on a timeline. I was wondering if you could help me i have buttons at the top of the page how would i link these to another frame so it can be used as a new page
I need to get the code to make a button link to a pdf located in the same folder on my host server as my flash movie and index.html file. (or should it be located differently?) I want the pdf to load in a new window..
After defining my button as a button and then going into the F9actionscripts menu, I don't know what code to input to make the button link to a specific file. I'm doing this as an autorun swf for a CD I am making.
I'm using shadowbox and I am trying to load my video that has a custom skin. But for some reason it can't find my custom flash player. When I don't use shadowbox I can view the video and the skin shows up.
Following the official Shadowbox usage instructions, I appended just a few lines of CSS/JS:
[Code]....
And yet, when I click on my thumbnail, it does not generate a Shadowbox overlay. Instead, my browser follows an ordinary link to the animation. I've also tried Lightbox, Greybox, and Lightbox2, working at this problem for about twelve hours. My understanding of Javascript objects and classes is very limited. Web Development is not my career path.
After I upload the files, I can see the hand icon when I mouse over them, but when I click on that spot nothing happens. I have two text links on the same page that do work. One is an email link and the other is a url link. I have check the button names to my code and they do match.
Here's my new question: What code I have to input in a button file in Flash, for that when I click it opens a site I've made, in a browser? I'm doing my website in Flash, and the other website I want to put the link was made in Dreamweaver. It's not hosted, it's in my pen, that's why I'm having problems with the code.
I have created mc's (movie clips) for each one of my pages and for pages within those pages, if you can understand that lol. The problem I am having is, linking from one mc to another.
Example: I am in my home page movie clip, and I have a "read more" button on one of the articles, when a user clicks on this button I want him to be redirected to the page that article is on.
In my case, I am making a website that gives users information on Paris, France. On my home page I have an article that speaks about Napoleonic and I have created a "read more" button. The information on Napoleonic is on the landmarks page(which is its own movie clip). When the user clicks on the "read more" button I want him to be redirected to the page thats in its own movie clip with the info.
I have created seven buttons using Flash version 9 following a tutorial on this site [URL]. The buttons function the way they were designed, however, when I attempt to link them with a URL or a unpublished website file (eg. contact.html or index.html) the button brings up the "TextEdit" application on my Mac.
The action script 3 code that I am using: btn_6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick); function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("contact.html"), "_same");}
I have even tried using action script 2 code after changing the publish settings to AS2: btn_6.onRelease=function(){ getURL("[URL]", _same);} The results are the same. When I test the buttons, they link to an application on my Mac. All of my buttons are on the same layer.
I m building a website and lately i am facing a lil problem.i have placed a button from windows->components-> button with movie type button property now the issue is i am unable to link that to a pdf file.i want that button to open a pdf file.and how do i do that.
I am creating a website in flash and I need help linking to internal pages. I have created mc's (movie clips) for each one of my pages and for pages within those pages, if you can understand that lol. The problem I am having is, linking from one mc to another.

I am trying to link 5 buttons I have made in flash CS5 AS3 to 5 pages and I have made this code, but I keep getting error message 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class. My code is
stop(); function button1_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop("page1"); }
I've converted a graphic that i imported into a button. And put this action script on it to go to a certain scene.
on (press) { gotoAndPlay("2,1"); }
This button should make the movie go to scene 2, frame 1, but its just not workinBackground info:The first scene is jsut a short intro where a couple buttons finally come up in a keyframe. In the keyframe itself, I have a stop action so the main scene doesnt loop. And on each button I have the action that i wrote above, to go to certain scenes depending on which button i click. Am i totally setting this up wrong structurally? Do i need to put any kind of "Reset" action if i want to go back to a previous scene. Also, in each scene, I have a mouse hide and replace action, could this have anything to do with it?
I want to have my overlay adjust in size depending on how much content is being shown in the flash movie. Also, I want it to resize in real time when the user adjusts the content.
what the proper syntax is for passing flashvars thru Shadowbox to the JWPlayer (wanting to reskin it).
I have no problem doing this in conjunction with swfObject or via an embed.
Unfortuanitly my posts on the Shadowbox forums have gone unanswered. Their docs discuss this only in principle - no details provided for this specific need.
There are multiple posts on their forums and the developer mentions the ability to do this but provides no practical example showing how it's done with multiple variables and multiple parameters.
If using js to embed it would look like:
Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var s1 = new SWFObject("/scripts/shadowbox-build-3.0b/libraries/mediaplayer/player.swf","ply", "580","326", "9","#F3F3F3"); s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
I have a drop down movie button that shows the drop down when scrolled over but i cannot get the drop down buttons to link to the relevant frames.My current script on the dropped down button is
I'm very new to Flash (using CS3). I created a button instance out of text but I don't know what to do next. I'd like for the button to link to a different place in the timeline of my website. Right now, when I click on the text link and go to actions, it says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it". I'malso not sure what the script should read and if all the script goes into one "actions" layer or separately. This is what I'd like for it to look like: [URL]
The button that I'm trying to create right now is the "print" button which would bring up the section with the clickable thumbnails that you see on top. It's my first time using flash. I already placed everything in the document. Should all the different links just be different places in the timeline? Sorry if this is a n00b question but I'm still trying to understand how flash works as a website (my previous experience is only web banners).
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.
