ActionScript 3.0 :: Target URL In Flash Navigation?
Mar 17, 2011
with coding. I have an HTML website that we've put a FLASH navigation bar into and I've coded the buttons to go to their respective pages. yay! Now I need to target those links to where they stay in the same browser window. Here is the code I have so far:
stop();import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var gethowitworks:URLRequest = new URLRequest("how.html");var getdemo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("demo.html");var getaboutus:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about.html");var
What is the difference between target and currenttarget in flex?What is the difference between Target and Current Target in Flex especially in mouse events.
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder function profOver(e:Event) { e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1; }
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value. at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried: function profOver(e:Event) { var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder; item.infoBtn.alpha=1; }
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I have created a dynamic accordion style navigation button using both Flash and XML.Everything is set up within a Movieclip called "movie1_mc" on the first keyframe of the Main timeline.Here is the code on the Main timeline:
I have a flash file that loads in a external swf. That swf contains a form that I want to control the tab order on. The external swf has form fields in it, and I have their tab indexes set. When I hit tab, flash ignores the flash index, and focuses on some of the navigation elements of the parent .swf. What am I doing wrong?
I have never messed around with flash before so I downloaded a template. I open it with Flash CS4 and most everything is simple to edit. The problem is I dont seem to find anything about editing the menu/navigation bar.
I have been researching all day and there are many different solutions, none that are straight forward. I am currently in the process of making a website in Dreamweaver which has a flash header. Problem is the flash header reloads when you go to every page. Is there a simple (I'm a noob) way I can get the flash header to stay open at the top of the website, and the content of each page just change when you go to each page. Thus the flash header and nav buttons do not reload on every page. To review the pages so far; [URL]..
I'm trying to find out if you can use an input text fields as navigation?
The idea: If I open my page and then enter (G-12226) or a (MiniGrim) into an input text field is it possible that the flash navigates itself to the Number or Name that is been entered in the input text field, Either automatically or via the touch of a button have no idea what is easiest No idea if this is possible?
I have built a flash navigation menu that plays fine. I exported it and saved it into the root directory of my website.Then I opened the website and added it where I wanted it (on a Template) by selecting Insert>Media>Flash and following the steps.I added the files to my server and am finding something odd. When I open the Template file on the website, it loads the Flash file just fine.[URL] However, when I load any of the pages built from the Template the menu won't load correctly.[URL]
I have built a flash movie, ASP page to declare the variables, ASP page to show the flash movie and connected to a database. In the ASP page I have the following code.
how can we create the navigation bar in flash AS2.0. i need to create a navigation bar with the slider control. I called some .swf files from external folder. Now i want to add the navigation bar for that external files. That navigation bar should get the bytes of loaded .swf files. Then that navigation bar will animate upto the 100%. If i drag the slider, loaded .swf file should controlled by the slider(forward and backward).
I am doing something for a friend, a flash portfolio site, basically what happens right now is that when one of the pictures is clicked the stage zooms in so that the image takes up the entire stage, now on clicking that picture again, the image zooms out... that's all fine, the problem is that when i want to click on another edge of a picture that is also visible at the time when it is zoomed in, the whole thing zooms out
I'm not sure if i have to use an array, or a one more variable or what i have to do..
I've really been trying to do this navigation in flash, [url]Does anyone have any insight or explaination on how this is done? Is it a bunch of Masks that once rolled over expand to reveal more beneath? I can't seem to grasp the concept.
I'm trying to set-up a simple random navigation using labels and an array that jumps to different points in the timeline. I've used a simple onpress handler to initiate. As far as I can figure this should work, however I only ever get one random selection. If I press the button again the playback head does not jump to a new random location. What am I missing here that is obvious?
I'm working on a website that is going to have a content area that is flash and then have the navigation and a small content area that is HTML. Attached is the page layout blocked out. You can see that the flash wraps itself around the bottom and left side of the HTML navigation and when I place the flash object into HTML it creates a block and I am unable to have the navigation above part of the flash. Does anyone have an idea how I can accomplish this and have cross-browser compatibility?
i don't know why this isn't working.i got a button. and when it's pressed, i need it to go and play a frame in a movie clip. i'll test it and then when i click on it, i get this:
Target not found: Target="whoweare" Base="_level0.instance20.instance48.instance49"
this is the code that i am using:
on (press) { tellTarget ("whoweare") { gotoAndPlay (51); } }
i build a carousel gallery and put it into my HTML page in a hybrid site but the problem is that it starts spinning as soon as the HTML page is loaded because it works with cursor distance from the center of the stage. Is there a way of deactivating it and ONLY onRollOver is it activated and when i roll off it is deactivated again. my second problem is that I've made a flash navigation for the same HTML site. This is the code I've used for the button states:
I am an intermediate flash user and need to create navigation for my flash project. Basically what I have is one swf with several scenes and I need a small pop up menu with clickable buttons to jump to different scenes. I know scenes are not generally recommended, but I cannot load separate swfs due to technological constraints at my company. The way my project is set up is like one continuous movie that plays from start to finish. I don't need a player controls or anything. I have divided it into scenes to make it easier to work on the fla.
It starts and plays through to the end, one scene after the next. What I want is a small menu button at the bottom that when clicked pops open a list of buttons that can be clicked to jump to and play a different scene. It never stops or anything, just jumps to and plays the chosen scene. I have created a movieclip with a menu button and the pop up list with buttons. I can get the list to open and close, but it won't jump to a different scene. Is this because it is in a movieclip?
I have been creating a dynamic Flash Navigation based on a tutorial I found online. I'm having issues aligning the MovieClip house all the array names from My XML file. I'm using:
I go to create a simple navigation with a set of buttons in Flash. For some reason when I go to type the name of the buttons my font is messed up and not smooth.... I am not sure if this is a setting or what, totally confused.[code]...
1. I have a flash movie embedded in an html page. When the user clicks on a button in the movie it should open the new in the SAME or CURRENT window NOT in a new tab (leaving that window open).
Here's the code..getURL("imageTest.html", _self);
2. I can't get my block navigation to show the CURRENT link.I want the current link or page on the navigation bar to be a different color than the other links.
I'm able to get the font to change color but I can't get the background or "block color" to change color.
I am trying to create a Dynamic flash Navigation Menu which will disable the button of the page you are on leaving the button in the "hit" state and then active it once you have called for a new page and deactivate the new button. I know this can be done with movie clips and some old school gotoAndPlay/Stop slight of hand but I would like to do this in actionscript so its nice, clean, and scalable for other projects.
I have been asked to create a wheel for navigation similar to on the Visit Provence website. However, I don't know where to start and my Googling effort have been unsuccessful - I guess that I am searching using the wrong terms. It the the way that the wheel moves and interacts with the other segments around it that interests me.
I am trying to create a link on a page that mimicks the existing flash navigation and get it to work as expected, meaning that when you click the link, the site navigation reflects the change. The problem I'm having is that I don't understand the hierarchy since I'm working from outside the navigation system itself. I can get the animation to change on rollOver and rollOut but when I click the link, the page changes from page1 to page2 but the navigation is still showing page1.
I have a flash program in a web page that tries to post a picture to a web page. When the user clicks a button the web browser starts to navigate to the new page then seems to hang (I can see it starts to go to the page by reading the transferring data from message in Firefox status bar)
This also seems to work in debug version but not the exported version.
Flash code:
var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/octet-stream"); var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com
im trying to make a navigation bar for my flash site. The idea is that all the content is displayed in small vertical lines, like this - and when you scroll over a line it opens out to a thumbnail. At the same time the other lines move outwards to accommodate the space taken up by the thumbnail. I wanted only the line your scrolling over to show but its kinda similar to the mac osx dock. Ive tried using examples of mac docks and none seem to do what i want them too.
From this example image attached, I have created many instances on my stage, let's say that for each instance I would like to go to a new section that has a different layout. What is the action script that will move my frame to the right location for example, let's say on one of the instance I have a button that says contact. On one of the buttons, what action script to I have to put in so that it navigates there when someone press it, I would think "on press" go to instance tab contact something of that nature.
I have a Flash MX navigation on an html page and I want to set up the buttons so that onRelease they will go to named sections on that html page; Thru the use of the <A NAME></A> <A HREF></A> tags.
I want to place a Flash header in an HTML page with frames. I followed a tutorial from this site: [URL]
I could not figure out how to apply it to my own page though, because it didn't explain how to set up the HTML frames at all. I set up a frameset in Dreamweaver, so I have 3 frames, called "topframe", "mainframe", and "bottomframe". In Flash, I applied the following action script to a button as the tutorial instructed:
on (release) { getURL("affiliates.html", "mainframe"); }
However, when I click on the button to go to "affiliates.html", it opens in a new browser window instead of the main frame.
