Here I create a button that when pressed opens specifies web site:
Code:var adresas:URLRequest = new URLRequest("some web site adress", _self);
var item:Sprite = new Sprite();
item.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
item.graphics.drawCircle(30, 30, 20);

I've cobbled together a website for the family business using Flash CS4, but I'm having real trouble getting two interlinked .swf's to open in the same window. By the time you go from the homepage to the gallery and back to the homepage, you've got 3 tabs in the browser. How can I fix this? Here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
button4.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]....
The code is the same (different URL, obviously) for both links, but they open new tabs every time.
EDIT: It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe it didn't upload right when I put it on the FTP. So all is well now!
Im using this code on a nav menu i have created.
on (release) {
getURL("http://mysite.com", "_blank");
}
[code].....
I understand that the code below should work but it doesn't, I have to take the underline before self out, for the hyperlink to work at all, and then it creates another window for the file. There may some sort of glitch that I am not aware of. But the code below does not work as is in my app.
var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.htmlText = "hello world"+ "<a href='weeTestPage.html' target='_self'><u>click here</u></a>";
t.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
addChild(t);
I'm trying to use navigateToURL with the "_self" parameter for a website navagation menu, but all I ever get is the url opening in a new window or new tab (depending on what browser you are using). What I would like is if it opens in the same window within the browser. For html validation purposes; I'm using a javascript ufo 3.22 (unobtrusive flash objects) method of embed. Here is my AS3 code which is in a standalone file (hope I got all necessary import packages included).

I know it's something real simple and I've read many a posts that scream "allowscriptaccess" issues, but even when I set that I still can't get it working properly.
I was given the following code to have my button open a link.
testbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, gotest);
function gotest(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.bing.com/"));
}
This function works fine except that it opens all my links in new windows or tabs. I added the "_self" parameter to the function and created the following:

How would one go about changing the allowscriptaccess parameter of an already loaded swf?
View 0 RepliesIn my movie i have a link button with following, simple, function creating a link:
[Code]...
lately i've associated a class file (.as) to my movie and immediately after, when publishing the movie i got the following error message: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: URLRequest. as well as a couple of other related error messages: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method URLRequest. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method navigateToURL. when i remove the link to the class file, the problem goes away. also, i have checked the class file for mentioning of "URLRequest" and nothing is there.
I use URLRequest where I need to load external swf file and pass it some parameters. I am now out of my ideas.
example of my code:
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.swf"); --works fine
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("m1-9.swf?param1=true"); --doesn't work, output

I have a clip which is basically a set of button clips. When a button is clicked it fades (i used the ._alpha property) and finally when its 0 alpha, it removes itself (by using _visible=0 property). It works perfectly. Now when another button is clicked. I wanted the button which is currently not visible to restore its visibility. But using _visible=1; just isnt doing it (pastbutton._visible=1;). I tried a lot of trouble shooting, trace shows that the correct button path of the last invisible button is stored in pastbutton. But still when the next line says pastbutton._visible=1 still it doesn't restore the target button which is stored in the pastbutton variable.
View 1 RepliesI have a papervision project and this problem has kept me from going for days. I have Text3D object in my project and I have to reduce and increase the alpha property of this object , and I do it by changing the alpha property of the ViewportLayer that contains this Object. everything works fine but when I change it's text property due to some circumstances I can't work with it's alpha property anymore.
I change it's text like this:
var text1:String = "second string";
mytext3D.text = text1;
I don't (and I can't) use "useOwnContainer" and I use a defined ViewportLayer for this Text3D which I've defined like this:
var textLayer1:ViewportLayer = viewport.getChildLayer(mytext3D);
And I change the alpha property of this "textLayer1" in order to change the alpha of my Text3D object. Everything works fine till I change the text property and after that when I change the alpha of my "textLayer1" nothing happens!

If I set the properties of "buttonMode" and "useHandCursor" to true in DataGrid, it does not work as I expect. Only if I move the cursor to the edge between two rows, the hand cursor displayes.
What I expect is that no matter where the cursor is moved, it should always show hand cursor.

I have replaced all TextField objects with TextLayout as I require the functionality it offers. When using TextLayoutFormat I try to embolden text using "this._textLayoutFormat.fontWeight = FontWeight.BOLD;" Adobe have said you can only embolden text when using device fonts: "Applies only to device fonts (fontLookup property is set to flash.text.engine.FontLookup.DEVICE)."

Using AS2, I have a simple flash navigation built using getURL to open various pages of the web site. I'm using _self because it's necessary to open the pages in the same window.The functionality works fine, the only problem is my flash navigation is on every page and when I "getURL" on the pages linked to from the menu, the flash reloads when the page loads. This creates a blank spot on the page until the flash loads.What's the best way to do my navigation so that it doesn't reload the flash on every page? Or at least I don't get the blank spot when going to a new page.
View 2 RepliesOkay, so I'm pretty much a self-taught Flash newb, so please bear with me if this question has an obvious answer. I've searched different fixes, and none of them have worked.
I am making a simple button in Flash CS4 with AS3. The button has a hover effect and that's it. I am wanting the button to link to a different webpage when clicked on in the same window. I am using this code:
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void{ var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mysite.com); navigateToURL(request, "_self");}
When I test the movie in Flash, it works fine. It takes me to the webpage. However, when embedded online, it does nothing. I can click on it, and I will remain there on the same page. Like it's just a pretty image with a hover effect and no link. I've tested the button in both IE and Firefox, and it does not work in either.
Now here's the funny thing....when I use _blank instead of _self, it works just fine in both Firefox and Explorer. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.
from within a browser this will work:
function bobhome(evt:MouseEvent):void{ var urlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest ('home.html'); navigateToURL (urlRequest, "_blank"); }
this will not:
function bobhome(evt:MouseEvent):void{ var urlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest ('home.html'); navigateToURL (urlRequest, "_self"); }
I'm working on a Flash navigation using AS3. It can be seen as is @ PhilipK .ca /portfolio .
I want to make it so when you click the button on the far right, for the second time it opens a link in the tab that the flash video is embeded.
Here is the code I am having trouble with...
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("philipk.ca/photo_gallery/photography"), '_self') ;
}
http removed before address because I am not able to post URLs untill 50 posts
I am wondering if I have to change part of the code within the HTML? Or am I doing something wrong with the AS3 code?
I have a button in my AS3 flash file that is using the .autorepeat property successfully. the button is too sensitive so a single click is being registered as multiple clicks. I'm trying to use the repeatDelay & repeatInterval properties but I'm getting the following error. "1119: Access of possibly undefined property repeatDelay through a reference with static type fl.controls:Button." Do the repeatDelay & repeatInterval properties work in AS3??

I am using an array to return data to an application and as the array is filled with data using a loader and the order is important it happens that data in slot n is inserted later than data in slot n+1. How do I know that the array is full as I know the number of elements to be loaded? The length property doesn't work for this. I could go through the array each time I put something in and look if every slot is full but that seems ineffective.

Strange Behavior in a flash I'm working on. And I must be doing something wrong because I can reproduce it in every flash I create. You can check out the behavior here at a test page on my under construction site:I have a menu bar at the top of the page, with the following code:

function btn1ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{

How would I make this open in the same window instead of a blank popup window?
//Navigate to some URL
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blah.com/links.php");

If I open up a web browser and then click the menu buttons, the buttons open the link up in a new page. Once the NEW page opens, the menu buttons start acting as I would expect, then opening any further links in the same web page. Is this some internet explorer security setting? Every computer that I have utilized (total of 5) to view the web page exhibits this same behavior.
