View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to flash and I have started to attempt to modify a template that I found online to make it my own. The thing that I am having problems with is the URL Links. There are 5 different clickable tabs on the header that I have, and when you edit it in flash cs4, each one is the same image when you edit it. The only way in which you can change what each one of them says is by editing them in the library. This isn't the problem. I want to link these tabs to different pages on my website. When I edit one of them, all of them change to the same url link. The file is too large for me to upload I think.
View 4 RepliesI have laid out the four pages that I wish and have created a button for each page on each page.I was told a simple stop script would stop the pages acting like a movie.I entered:
14:00PM
stop();
function button1_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("home");}
function button2_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("about");
[code]....
which I was told would accomplish this and link the buttons to the relevant pages. When I test the movie the buttons start flickering as well as the images.....
I'm trying to use a .swf for a navagation button in a website I am creating but I'm running into a bit of a problem. I need to know how to code the button (In Flash) so that they link to my specific .html page. Is this possible to do with a realitive link?

View 1 RepliesI'm creating website that I want to put my resume and portfolio on as different Flash applications. For my resume it would be like a mini-web site that has various linking buttons to different pages. I tried to use scenes b/c I had a professor who told us to use scenes to create our pages/animations, and the scenes concept did not work with the actionscripting.
I then read online that scenes were not the way to go. So I'm trying to use Frame Labels to create this - right now I made a menu movie clip that I have my actionscript in for each button - the buttons have the correct instance names and I have my frames properly labeled with their movie clips attached to each for each part of the resume/page portion.
This is the code I'm using in the Menu movie clip. The problem I'm having is that when I click on each button - nothing happens! I tried this one, and nothing happened:
education.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, educationCLICK);
function educationCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay('education');
};
And then I tried to re-order it and nothing happened:
function educationCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay('education');
};
education.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, educationCLICK);
I have a button in the scrollbar that has a mask.(scrollbar_mc, mask and content_mc) Now I stuck with HOW TO LINK IT to other pages that are in scene 1 ?
View 9 RepliesSo this might be an easy but possibly a long answer, but I can't seem to find any good info on it anywhere. I'm trying to figure out how to have different sections of my flash site be linked to with different URLs. A good example of what I mean would be this site here: [URL] I'm not the biggest fan of the design but the functionality is great. It animates seamlessly between pages and each page has a separate URL. Is there an easy way to explain how this is accomplished?
View 2 RepliesI'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.

For some reason I can't seem to link a menu on a homepage with the internal pages of the website i'm working on. The thing is that this menu is only supposed to be seen as it is on the home page (it changes to a different location, and has a different look on the internal pages). Problem is I can't seem to get the button to link to the corresponding page.
View 3 RepliesI have created a flash website in cs4 using AS2. I have 2 layers in my time line, content and AS. I created scenes along the time line and labeled each scene "about" "contact" etc.Each scene is 10 frames long and has the stop action applied to it. The gotoAndPlay command is applied to each button within the scene and I have used the folowing action on the buttons to link the pages:on (release) {gotoAndPlay("scenename");}This does link the pages however if i hit any of the buttons twice, it directs me to the wrong page. For example if I hit the home button twice, it will direct me to the about page. Should I be targeting a frame within the scene also?
View 3 RepliesI am creating a flash game that runs at 45 fps. When run either in a browser or on the desktop in Windows XP it looks smooth. When I view it in Windows 7 it is choppy - as if it was running at 15 fps. It is still processing correctly, it just looks bad. Does anyone know why this is? Is it just Windows 7 I have a test code snippet that shows this weirdness. Just paste the following into a new file and publish.

View 1 RepliesI have created a website with one flash animation banner.The banner .swf has 5 menus. Each menu goes to different movieclips inside the .swf file. and at the same time i want to load the corresponding html file when i click the menu button and place the html content into the bottom area of the main html page without refreshing the html page.
View 2 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?
I am planning to create a photo/video gallery secured by a pin. So i plan to have 4 pages, Login, Menu, Image Page and Video View. Login would be a simple textbox where i check the pin. The Menu would show all picture albums and videos in a list i create with clickable sprites or buttons or something like that. And a video view where a video will be shown if i click on a video link on the menu page.
I tried to prepare the scene in flash cs5, so i decided to create 4 frames. ALl pages have their own layer. The first will be the login, second the menu, third the image view (incl. thumbnail show and fullscreen view popup) and a video view. On each keyframe i put a rectangle converting it into a MovieClip acting as the main container where all the stuff will come into.
Now i tried to initialize all these MovieClips by resizing them everytime the stage is resized. For this i get errors, that some of the MovieClips are null. This is because the MovieClips exist only keyframe 2 for the menu or keyframe 3 for the image page and keyframe 4 for the video view. So i have to put them all into keyframe 1 to be able to access. But i created 4 keyframes because i want to jump to them by using "gotoAndStop( n)", where n stands for keyframe 2, 3 or 4.
I dont get it, how does Flash interpret the code and how is the visibility of these MovieClips. Can i only access the MovieClip from keyframe 2 because i added it on keyframe 2 only? What is the best solution to have a simple 4 page app where on page 1 (menu) i click on video link which holds some sort of ID of the video, then i jump to keyframe 4 for the video view providing it with that ID, but how to do that when Actionscript doesnt even know there is a video container MovieClip. To get Actioscript to know all of them, i have to move them to keyframe 1, but then how to do the paging stuff.
So I'm working on a new flash site project for my boss. I've not done a flash site before so am learning as I go.
What I wanted to get advice on is the best way to build the set of pages. As you see from the homepage, there are 8 buttons there in total.
Obviously, when one is clicked, it will take you to that page *collections, profile, etc etc....). I am in the process of creating these pages but want to know what's the ideal way to set up the fla.
Is it best to create each page as internal movie clips inside the actual site.fla and then using the attachmovie command attach them to a main container_mc? Or is it best making them separately and loading them externally, loadmovie to a container_mc?Or do I set each page at a different frame on the main timeline and get the button to jump to that frame, which then plays the movie via one of the methids above?
I currently have a flash file and it all works fine, but I'm about to update it and it will become a little complicated to update the way I have set it up.
I have 15 pages (going to be updated to 40pages soon) and a side menu, clicking on one of the tabs in the menu will animate the relevant page onto the stage. Here is the code I am using[code]...
I am trying to do something pretty basic I think...I have attached a screenshot below of what the site looks like so far. What I want to do is always have the left hand side links showing on the site. I want to create a new .fla for projects and have that load on the window on the right when the projects link is clicked on. What I have done in the past is create the entire website within one .fla but that is getting too confusing. I assume some actionscript is required here which I am pretty useless with.
View 21 RepliesI have some flash code and an XML file that creates dynamic buttons that allow you to cycle through the XML file. Im trying to integrate this code into my .FLA but I want to get rid of the code that tells it to rely on the dynamic buttons, and instead, use my non-dynamic navigation I already have built to load the specific part of the XML depending on which page you click in my nav.
I just don't know what to strip - and what to add to the code to make it work.
My .FLA is setup in that each "page" is on a different layer on frame 1, so it uses actionscript to fade in and out of each "page".
Heres a link to the working example of the XML I found: [URL]
Heres my actual site to give you a better idea of what i want to integrate in: [URL]
Heres the XML code, file called products.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
<product id="42">

I'm creating flash site which will have different backgrounds for each page. I'll load the individual pages with "MovieClipLoader." My understanding about MovieClipLoaders is that, it doesn't matter the background of your mc, the page to which you are loading will maintain it's background.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering is there a way to have an embedded swf navigate to different pages of a pdf?
Example:my swf is on page one. There are mulitple buttons in the swf, when clicked it will take you to page 3, or 5, or 7, etc.
Currently, when I click on a button, it DOES take me to say page 4, but the content on page is the SWF file from page 1, and not the content that is suppose to be on page 4.[code]...

I encountered a weird error, I lose sessions when moving between pages.
I lose Sessions because i use Flash (swf) menu to navigate between pages.
So when i navigate to a page using the Flash menu, I lose the session.
It doesn't let me answer my own question so here is the answer:
Thx for answering, but the problam wasn't the flash..
I just found out that the session was opened on http://WebSite.com/ And the flash was redirecting to http://www.WebSite.com/
So the session losts between domains, and not between pages because of flash :) I just made all my site use the www domain .
