ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking Buttons To Swf Files Inside One HTML Document?
Jun 9, 2009
I am trying to figure out how to link a bunch of buttons to different photo albums inside a single HTML page in Dreamweaver. Here is an example of what I mean: [URL]
Unless I'm mistaken, everything in this website is contained within one HTML document.When you click on any of the various buttons in the portfolio menu, they simply load up and appear inside the same HTML document.
How on earth do you do this without clicking on any of the various buttons and having them linked to another page??

I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).

I've been working on a new issue while giving a break on cracking the other one.I have a movie clip acting as a button with rollover/rollout animation- we'll call it menu_mc for simple reference.I'm basically creating a rollover submenu. I've set it up a few different ways but the most user friendly has been hiding the submenu_mc (which has 4 linked buttons to root frame inside) by doing:_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;then inside the menu_mc with the rollover I have the submenu trigger set to show: _root.sub5_mc._visible = true;The links are working fine but the problem I am running into, is that the rollover state, once over the submenu_mc, does the rollout function and leaves the submenu_mc hanging there by itself- still functioning perfectly.You can go back over the menu_mc and it will play out the rollover again.On the other simple animated buttons (which do not have submenus) I have coded:
on(rollOver) {
_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;
}
[code].....

I'm having trouble linking buttons from a swf banner that will be on all html pages. I'm using the following script, which doesn't work yet.For now, I have only two buttons. Button btn_1 should go to page_1.html, which is in a folder labeled pages.I've tried the variable name and the navigate to URL and neither have worked.
--- AS3
btn_0.mouseEnabled=false;// setting the first button -home - invisible
btn_0.alpha=0.2; // sets the color of the button 20% alpha

When person goes to site [URL] they are presented with a different .swf file each time they visit or refresh the page - currently I have three different .swf files that can served up.
What I've done so far to make this outcome a reality: I included a javascript array in the .html document that selects one of three .swf files to present in the page. Here is the javascript:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
files = new Array();
files[0] = "crayolas_pre.swf";

In my main .swf I have labels on the timeline, navs for those btns are on the first frame of the AS layer and each button sends the playhead to a different frame. On one frame called fr1 there is an mc called mc_1 that appears on stage when the playhead stops there. Inside mc_1 are a set of navigation buttons that need to call external .swfs.
Do I add event listeners on the last frame of mc_1 for each button? how do I call the loaders for the swfs on the buttons since the swfs will load on the main timeline NOT the mc_1 timeline?
So label on main timeline called fr1 will load external1 swf , on fr10 external 2.swf will load and so on.

everyone out there that is smarter than me. I have made this little prototype video player, and it isn't working. It'll eventually become a nice little player show videos from our summer camp for the last few years, but first I want to make it work in a basic stripped down version. There is a playback component with one of the skins right above the three buttons.
Here's the ActionScript: btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid2);btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid3);
function vid1(e:Event):void{vidPlayer.source = "Video1.flv"};function vid2(e:Event):void{vidPlayer.source = "Video2.flv"}; function vid3(e:Event):void{vidPlayer.source = "Video3.flv"};
It runs fine when I test in in flash and even the .swf file runs fine alone, but when I put it in a .html file via Dreamweaver and in the published .html it doesn't run. What up?

My teacher gave me the task of making an interactive touch screen flash for an open day at my school, i can easily do most of the things to make this work but two things evade me.
He wants the writing in a word document linked so he can easily change what the document says without re exporting the flash.
He also wants me to be able to make the pictures from a document appear in a slideshow without adding each individual picture in a random order as a screen saver effect.

I have basic knowledge of Flash and do not know how to link an external image to my Flash document. While flipping through a Flash resource book, my thought is that it's through Actionscript, possibly using URLLoader/URLRequest classes. But I don't understand how to do it. Also, do I use a transparent button as the placeholder for the image/actionscript?

I'm working on this small project to demonstrate how flash works to a few friends and I am trying to make a small avatar have some animation and upon mouse roll over grow and after removing mouse the avatar will shrink. There is also supposed to be a message displayed over the avatar and upon clicking the avatar the message changes. I have the avatar shrinking/growing thing done and its working fine and I also have the message to be displayed but I cannot seem to link the two into one actionscript file so they both appear at the same time.
Here are the codes:
i) for the avatar shrinking/growing
package { import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class U1A3_Stickman extends MovieClip {
private var _origXScale:Number;
[Code] .....
I've tried to simply insert the document class into the flash with the avatar shrink/grow code but it's not working.

So I have main .swf file(I'll call it movie1) that leads to webpages that are not in the movie. The webpage has a navbar which is a seperate .swf file (I'll call this movie2). I need the buttons on the navbar to link to a certain place in the main movie. Is there a way to use gotoAndplay in movie2 to go to a scene in movie1?

So, I'm making this website, and each page is a separate swf file. Let's call them 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf.. 6.swf.So far, I suceeded in linking page 1 to page 2 using Loader, but there's a problem. Page 2, in the player, is OVER page 1. That mean's you can see page 1 where you should be seeing page 2 background.My question is, is there anyway in AS3 to unload or close page 1, right after page 2 is loaded?

I made several SWF files and I am trying to link them together but I am not sure how. Right now I have 3 applications, and a main page. All 4 SWFs were compiled from different FLA files. The main page has 3 buttons that links to all 3 of the SWF files. When I tried to do a URLRequest-URLLoader method to load the swf files, I realised I had to compile all the MovieClips of the 3 applications within the main.fla for them to actually work when you do URLLoader to load them(or it will throw a missing file error). I couldn't move all the graphical assets into main.fla as there are many replica names of different graphics from all 3 different application fla files.
Is there a way to still link up different SWF files without the need for all the graphics to be in one similar FLA file? or is there a way to remedy my situation without having to rename all the MovieClips?

I needed to break it in smaller pieces because it is a large file (over 300 mb) and every time I wanted to publish the entire project flash crashed.
Here is my test: I have two exe files that should link back and forth. Intro_YIM.exe, which has a button that links to Videos_FrontPage_YIM.exe Here is my code, which is in Intro (button name= nav_4).
[code]...
Problem: The link seems to work, but there is a message that says save or run. When I click run, there is another message that says the file can't be open.
Questions:
1. Is there a better way to handle links using executable files using Flash CS5 and AS3?
2. If swfs were used, how can I have a main page displaying all other swfs as they are linked?

Files: Attached is a link to a file I made named "index". [URL] I would have liked to have included the following files but was limited due to "you-send-it" not uploading folders. Files not included: [but functioning and vital to the site as well as the question]
- xml list
- images [folder]
- thumbnails [folder]
Project scope: Website is an online-art gallery. I was able to get a functioning xml rolling thumbnail bar as well as have it load images. [Due to certain circumstances I was forced to put the project on hold until now.] It consist of 17 buttons, on the index [home] page, which are to call upon an xml file to load the appropriate scrolling thumbnail bar and the images which it loads upon clicking.
Problem
When you open up the index file, go to the actions layer. You will see the script needed to load in the xml scrolling thumbnails as well as the associated images. The actionscript is fine and works in as much as when I save out an swf file the thumbnails dynamically load in and when I click on them the associated image loads to stage as well. [again if you download the index file you will not see this as not all the files were able to be uploaded due to "you-send-it" as mentioned.]

I have a swf that uses the following code to go to different sections in a movie timeline:
Code:
//This is the script for the main tab menu.
contents.stop();
numberOfTabs = 8;
[Code]....
So basically if someone clicked on the tab with an instance name of tab6 it would take you to frame 6 in the movie clip with the instance name of "contents". What I want to do is be able to have a button (that is on a different swf) when clicked would go to this swf and then would go to the frame inside the movie with the instance name of "contents", (so for example you click on the button and it goes to frame 6 in the movie clip) but how to write the AS to tell the button to go to that specific frame inside the movie clip.

If you compile a Flash project into a .swf file and that project refers to another .swf file, is it linked statically or dynamically? That is, is the second .swf file contained physically in the first .swf file or does the first .swf file refer to the second at run-time?
