i'm having major difficulties. I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and I'm trying to create a button to open a .exe file. I have been going roudn in circles and nothing seems to work for me at all. I have created my button and gave it an instance name, if someone can talk me throgh the procedure I would be very much obliged.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a Flash project (which will eventually be published as an .exe - not sure if that makes any difference) which has buttons which need to open up external files.The external file will vary in type (there will be at least one button each for .pdf, .exe and .swf).I've managed to get this from various online help things:
Code:
function f_testURLOpener()
{
var url:String = "BWorking.exe";
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request);
}
I've tested it with about 5 different file types and it only seems to work if the url String begins with "http://". Even local htm/ html files don't open.
i recently developed my website and i decided to create buttons to link my site. The problem i'm having is that when i click on a button it's opening up a new tab in my browser.
on (press) {getURL("services.html", "_main");
}
I haven't for the life of me been able to figure out how to open a file (Non .exe or .swf) with a button from a movie.
Here's the scenario, I need to open a PDF file by clicking on a button. GetURL won't do it even if the browser is set to open PDF's with a plug-in. As far as I can tell FSCommand will only open executables.
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 have movieclip in my php page. I have button in that clip. What code should I use for change all page to an other one because when I use
on (release){getURL("[URL]");}
It opens that page at swf file's spot but I don't want it. I tried
on (release){ getURL("[URL]", "_blank");}
But it opens in new tab. I want to open new page in same tab. Is there any way to do that?
I created a button and linked it using this code:
[Code]...
But it keeps opening the link in a new window, how do I stop it from doing that so it opens in the same window the swf will be in? Where do I add target=_self?
I have a Flash menu and want the buttons to open jpg's in another swf on my HTML page. I searched for "localConnection", but couldn't find a suitable example. I also heard this is possible with Javascript.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
I modified it to try both of these:
navigateToURL(request, '_self');
navigateToURL(request);
Is it possible to open a cross domain pop up window from a flash button. Let's say something like this:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('[URL]','newWin','width=800,height=650,left=60,top=60,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=no,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
Is a button hosted in domain that links to a secure page in link. Will it work or will it get blocked by browsers or internal flash restrictions?
Right now I have everything set up and linked correctly except when you click the button it opens up a new tab rather than just going straight to the suggested URLHere is the code I have now...
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[code].....
I'm looking for code which will use my buttons instance name and when the button is clicked a new window will open up a new web page at the exact size referred to in the code. I tried playing around with this code but it comes up with errors.
test_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL("hhtp://www.website.com/onlinesurvey.html","_self";
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.website.com
[Code]....
I would like to ask about action script for this, when you click on the button, it can "direct" open the microsoft word document from pc. If use this:
on (release) {
getURL("test.doc", "_self");
}
It will pop up diolog first, i dun want this. I want it can direct open the file.
I want to link one html page which kept in the same folder and when the button pressed it will open this html page. I have no idea how to do this and after uploading in the server it tells me " page load error. Not found". How can I do this. I attached one fla for your look.
View 1 RepliesopenMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openSubMenu);
function openSubMenu(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.nextFrame();
} openMenu.closeMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeSub);
function closeSub(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.prevFrame();
} stop();
I've got the above code on my first frame, and was hoping that it would open a menu when a button was clicked, and once the button within the MC is clicked it would then close. Hence the nextFrame and prevFrame actions.
I keep getting TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
- I made a flash-based website using Flash CS3 and then embedded the file into a blank html page with Dreamweaver cs3.-All my buttons, linking, and content were made in Adobe Flash CS3 using ActionScript 2.0 (AS2).The issue I am encountering is that when i click on some buttons that have get URL codes, they will not load the html files assigned to the As2 code of the button. The html files are supposed to load in a separate browser window for each html page assigned to each button. The html files are located within subfolders in my Main Site Root Folder.All my AS2 code is Object-based; meaning I applied it directly to my button symbols.

View 2 RepliesI'm new to Flash and am looking to use the following tutorial to create an advanced button. I know it is probably a very simple fix, I just cannot figure it out. [URL] In the tutorial the rollover and onrelease has the following script this.onRollOut = function(){ rewind = true;} this.onRelease = function(){getURL [URL]); } I have tried to change the on.Release command to go to and play another frame in to movie instead of opening a new url. But I'm not getting it to work correctly.
View 4 RepliesI have a few buttons rigged up for downloading word.doc, mp3 etc
Problem is its opening the file rather than giving a download this file option.
It must be obvious, but I can't seem to figure out in CS4 how to view 2 different fla windows at the same time, each with its own timeline and stage. I often used this in Flash 8 to select and drag elements from one to another.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to find a solution to a simple problem -that seems to be big in flash CS3- I have an little application that includes a button, this button when clicked should open another swf that loads few more swf file on it. I have not found the solution the that problem.
View 4 RepliesIm 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]
I have a .fla that is in actionscript 3.0 and when I try to open it it doesn't show up. It's almost like I open it and flash just forgets about it. No tab shows up. I don't think it's loading because there is no lag and I have full use of flash with other open projects.
View 1 RepliesI have been working on an application. There is a login screen for the application, in one of the swf's I have been writing the login code, along-with communications with XML. Now once the user has been validated, I want to redirect the user to some XYZ.swf file and close the login.swf file else if not then I have to display an error message.
The issue may sound simple, but I am a beginner at this.
A work partner is using Flash CS3 on a Mac. She sends me her .fla files for me to edit which I cannot open.I'm using Flash CS4 on a PC.Is there a simple way to fix this problem; it's driving us crazy and really slowing down development. I haven't had this problem before working between PC and Mac formats...
View 5 RepliesI have an xml document that holds the navigation structure for an swf file. I need to have one of the URL's open in a new tab. All of the urls are held in the xml file, the swf file references everything from the xml.
The link that I want to open in a new tab is the last one, [URL]
<item>
<itemID>RESOURCES</itemID>
<itemPageTitle>Resources</itemPageTitle>
[Code]....
I have an .exe in fullscreen mode with different links. If I click on one link, the browser opens up in front of the .exe and shows the link. but if I leave the browser open and go to the .exe and click on another link, this link will be open on a new tab, and the browser wont be brought back in fornt of the .exe. so the user wont know that the link has been open.
View 2 Replieshow to create a self opening CD-ROM in AS2(CS3). I have created an interactive multimedia CV, and I would love to get it to self open when the CD Rom is loaded into the drive. I have done this before using director to open the swf file, but would prefer to do this just using Flash.
