How do i change content on a page each time a user visits or refreshes the page? example: the icon on kirupas header changes when the page is refreshed or re loaded. I have searched using dynamic content, but didn't quite find it...I only want to change 1 image..
View 1 Repliesi have a flash banner with navigation and want the flash to keep track of what page the user is on in order to give the user some kind of indication of where they are.ALSO i want the banner to animate / do some stuff ONLY on first visit to the site, i.e. if they navigate away from the site or close their browser window i want some kind of variable to reset so it will replay the animation on next visit.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to add several FLA videos on the same flash page and control them with different navigation buttons.So, Button 1 to play video 1, Button 2 to play video 2, etc .I have already put two navigation buttons and added two videos.However, I need to know Action Script to enable navigation button to do above.
View 6 RepliesI have a website, basic overview. I have my main movie, which contains the logo and navigation. I have a blank movieclip created with actionscript that loads the individual movie swf files. That works fine. What I want to do is dynamically have the main navigation buttons' text indicate what page you the user is on. Right now the code is on each button instance, example:
Code:
//work button Definition
on(press){
if(_root.pageHolder != "work") {
_root.pageHolder = "work";
_root.mcContainer.loadMovie(_root.pageHolder+".swf", this);
[Code] .....
Each button has the same code, just pointing to their respective pages. Here is the code in the first frame for setCurrentMarker()n function:
var aMenu = new Array(home, jschaer, work, contact);
function setCurrentMarker(){
for(i=0; i<= (_root.aMenu.length-1); i++){
if(_root.aMenu[i] == pageHolder){
[Code] .....
So the variable aMenu holds the moveclip names of the buttons. PageHolder holds the the name of the current page that is loaded. Thats how I change the pages to be loaded. To explain, if you look at the button code, the text for each button is by default greay and when you rollover it becomes black and off and it becomes gray again. That is on the first frame.
On the second frame the text is black. In the code I tried to make the black dynamically, but it didn't work, so I settled for going to the second frame and stopping. How do you get those little scroll boxes where you can put code. I guess its preference, but is it generally good to put the code on each instance of a button or put in in the main frame where your code lies. Is there any benefit either way?
Let me ask how to program an html page to move to a new web page on user's clicking an item of an embedded flash movie? But , in detail, I actually want to do a little different thing. I want that the parent html page remains there ,instead I want a child html frame has a new page after user's clicking the list item of the embedded flash movie.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash navigation menu and I was wondering: Is it possible to use the output window to make a interactive list of "buttons", so that a user can keep track of his/her progress ? How would one go about doing so? I can use the trace() function to capture the movements of the user, but how do I make it visible and interactive for the user?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a site where the menu section will expand with sub-sections when certain buttons are clicked. I have created a main page with navigation, and a movie clip which holds the content for each page. The navigation from buttons on the main page works fine and leads to correct sections [labelled frames] within the MC. I have placed an additional button on the movie clip, it is revealed when one of the main buttons is clicked. However when this button on the MC is clicked, nothing happens.
I want to be able to move some buttons down and slot additional ones in between the existing buttons so that sub-sections are only revealed when looking at the relevant main section. I have tried to do this using the movie clip, however buttons below are not blocked and those above do not work.Here is the code I have used for the buttons - I have tried putting the sub-button code on both the scene and the MC - neither has worked.
ActionScript Code:
btn_home.onRelease = function () {
content_mc.gotoAndStop ("home");

I have a few flv component instances on different frames. When you click a navigation button the current flv should stop and it takes you to a new flv on a different frame. But the previous one keeps playing. How do I stop the current one playing when the button clicks?
View 6 RepliesI need to develop a site with a navigation SWF file that changes the content of an HTML page, WITHOUT reloading itself and thus losing its current state. What I think I need to do to have smooth transitions, is keep the same swf file loaded, while having it change the page content below it.
I have some complex html content to include in the pages that is not supported by the tags available in Flash's dynamic text boxes. I have considered the idea of iframes, but I don't know how to load iframes using flash, or how to use them without refreshing the page.
I have a flash page that loads a video. Under that I have a button tcalled "Audio Demos" that opens a pop up with an audio player.
The problem is that the video keeps playing, so I need some code that stops the video when the user clicks on the "Audio Demos" button.
Here's the code for the button:
function getGilbertAudiodemos(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.gilbert.net.au/demo.html"));
}
gil_audio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getGilbertAudiodemos);
In a nutshell, the swf contains four ads (which link to portions of the site) and each ad uses the Timer element, displaying it for 5 seconds before moving on to the next one. Everything has come together nicely (although I'd like to clean up the code and use classes at a later date - I'm currently taking AS training from Lynda.com).
What's giving me trouble right now is the navigation bar. What I want to do is create four numerical buttons that a) change color during a mouse roll over b) change color for a corresponding ad (for example, when the third ad displays, the number "3" changes from white to gray to show that it is active and goes back to white when the fourth ad comes up).
Right now, I'm at a loss as to what to do. I've tried making the numbers buttons, but I can't control color changes unless I create two sets of buttons: one with white numbers, one with gray numbers.This also makes for some really bizarre Actionscript coding ideas (ex: after I code the function for the gray nav buttons, I have to code functions that make the white buttons work - but this ends up screwing with the ad cycles). I tried making them as movie clips, but I lose the ability to assign a large hit area like I can with buttons.
If you specify anchors in frames of the flash movie, IE browser will change hash in address bar while playing it.

Is there any method to disable this navigation using only HTML & JS?

View 5 RepliesFrom 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.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI want to highlight the current page in my navigation.
I have the code below (duplicated for each button on the page) which changes the colour of the text in the nav when you rollover and then back when you rollout. I'd like to have the text stay on the rollover colour if it is the current page.
I've been messing around with variables and have added the bit onto the onRelease function which displays the "page" variable in a dynamic text box. This works fine, but I'm now stuck on how to use this variable, everything I've tried hasn't worked.
I can understand the principle of what I want to do as I can do it in PHP or CSS. I need some kind of conditional statement, for example (in laymans terms):
if page equals 1 then make text colour red or if page equals 2 then make text colour red and so on...
Code:
var up = "0xC5B9B3";
var over = "0xC6006F";
_root.nav.button_1.onRollOut = function() {

My basic aim is to create a newspaper that consists of four pages. Each page i have created and are sitting in the library as sprites. Each page has buttons that need linking so that when pressed it loads the next page or page that i want. This is the part i am confused with =/ how do i make the buttons on each page load the next page (sprite) from the library??

View 1 RepliesI am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop ();
function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
}
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
