ActionScript 3.0 :: Anchor Links In Flash - Content That The Link Describes
Mar 25, 2009
[URL] If you click on the home page you will see 4 links below the word FEATURES. All of the content for the links is below if you use the scroll buttons. All i want to have happen is if you click on a link it takes you to the content that the link describes. For example, if you click on 'community involvement' then it would automatically scroll you down to the community involvment content located below.
how can i make named anchor links in flash, i tried this: [URL] i dowloaded the sample, it works as it is with as1 but it doesn't seem to work with as2?
I am creating a textbutton using actionscript. the code is given below.
public function createTextButton(parentId){ var mytext:TextField = new TextField(); mytext.x = 478;
[Code]....
Now i want the click event of this button to be handled in my event handler function only. It should not navigate away to the 'href' source given upon clicking. How can i achieve that.
Given the following:private var errorHtml:String = "<TextFlow xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p>Existing account, please <a click="clickHandler(event);">click here</a>.</p></TextFlow>";
Is it possible to create anchor links in text within a scrollpane. I created text with a list of questions at the top of the list and answers at the bottom of the list. I want to be able to click on a question and jump down the list to the answer within the scrollpane. Similar to anchor links in html.
Here's the deal: I have a dynamic textbox on stage containing htmlText populated from an xml file. The text contains a hyperlink created by an anchor tag who's href attribute calls an actionscript function. When the link is rolled over and rolled out, the line break changes if the text is extremely close to the right edge of the textbox.As far as I know the problem has something to with autoSize being true and the font being embedded. I believe when you rollover the link in the htmlText, the autoSize causes the text to be redrawn and somehow this time it breaks it instead of letting it go right up to the edge of the textbox.
Originally I had solved this problem by first calculating the height of the textbox with autoSize on, then turning autoSize off and setting the height manually. As I said this worked for years but, alas, it is doing it again.Just to make sure I turned autoSize back on and practically every screen with a hyperlink did have the same problem so turning autoSize off definitely fixed it, at least 99.9% of the time.I can quick fix it by changing the width of the textbox, even 1px so that the last word of the culprit line isn't so close to the edge. However, I am wondering, has anyone ever run into this problem before? Also, it would be nice to know the actual cause of the problem rather than just using work-arounds.
I have several AS3 flash movies embedded in html pages, and for whatever reason, when you tab through the page, when you get into the flash movie, you can't tab out. The tab just goes in a loop through the tabindex of the swf.
Is there a way that you can add a button or a little script in the swf, set it to the last in the taborder, and then make it set the focus on the page to a link/div/id/anchor in the html, (outside the swf)
I'm building a kind of CMS system for a site, with PHP and Flash. To start with in a specific section, I'm printing out data in a php page, using the & so they can be read and used in Flash, then I'm writing out the text as html within a dynamic flash field in flash.
Below is how i print out the basic variables for flash in php.
follow the link [URL] any good tutorial to make this type of flash site (moving content with navigation links) inform me whether its available in mac.flash professional help or not?
I am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.
i'm a novice to ActionScript but from failed Google function searches, i think i've choosen an advanced i hope possible task: how to read then apply bezier, anchor point and handle positions to different anchor points. What i need to do is precisely align a rectangular closed bezier path with a randomly shaped closed bezier path, both with the same number of anchor points.
We can obviously provide embed code to users such as.[code]which is what every (ok, so not every, but the vast majority) video sharing site does (YouTube, Break, Vimeo etc).However, somebody's pointed out that we could also provide a JavaScript embed link as follows:[code]What's the disadvantage of the JS embed option? The advantage is obvious, it's a nicer URL for the user, less characters to place in their site. I'm worried about security here, as somebody who doesn't know JavaScript; is this an inherently insecure way of doing things? And if the JavaScript URL is fine, how come none of the well-known sites do it?
how to link the buttons in drop down menu to the content(scenes) within the flash file? The drop down menu has been made using the masks. Those buttons, which are not drop down/masked, work properly. Those which are drop down/masked, do not work. The content appears after clicking on them, then disappears when other (drop down) button is rolled over.
I'm wondering if it is feesible to create a dynamic text box with like a contents sections at the beginning of the box that once you click a link it will scroll down to the appropriate info withing that dynamic text.
I created an image to help further explain my situation.[URL]..

I just made a flash news scroller where the news headlines are dynamic text and have different urls provided in the link section. But when I click on any of them, they all go to the first link only.
I'm pulling news information from an XML file. The root node is "article", the child nodes are (for example) "date", "title", "caption", "copy", "link", etc.
For each article, two new buttons are added to the stage.
1st button - on rollover, display the date & title for that article in a small movie clip w/ dynamic text fields.
2nd button - on click, display ALL nodes listed for that article in a large movie clip updating only the dyn text fields
What are some methods I can use to automate the process? That is, to avoid writing an if/else statement and some code to filter the XML properly for each and every article?
I need to somehow connect the XML content and the movie clips I add to the stage dynamically.
Is it common to write two ID attributes for each XML node? Unfortunately, each article isn't in sequence and older articles could be added even amongst the new ones... so a better "ID" would be the date of the article. Would that screw up automation?

I am creating a framed website in Dreamweaver, but I made my navigation menu in Flash w/ AS 3. The frameset has two frames, one is called header and the other is called content.I want the flash menu to stay in the header frame (which it does) and I want the links to change the page in the content frame.I tried targeting the content frame in my function that changes pages, but for some reason it continues to open the new page (link) in a new window.
function newPage(e:MouseEvent):void { new Tween(highlight_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,highlight_mc .x,e.currentTarget.x,12,false);[code]......
I am creating a website in Flash CS5 and Im having trouble with linking a button inside a movie clip inside another movie clip. In theory it should work as ive tried but doesn't. I have a movieclip called content for the main/top level pages but then i have sub pages which I have created another movie clip content2
This is code I have (an example): about.onRelease = function(){ content.gotoAndStop("About"); }
This code works in the top level pages. My porblem is linking from here to a sub level page (movieclip in movieclip). info.onRelease = function(){ content.content2.gotoAndStop("Info"); }
I've done exactly the same as i would have for top level pages. How can this be fixed? Can it be done in AS2 if not can it be done in AS3 and what is a SIMPLE method in AS3 to link pages etc. I want to keep the pages/frames organised using movie clips to layer them. I want a good structure.
I'm back to try and come to grips with AS3. I have been forced to focus on CSS and jquery. I am trying to make the background blur when you click on a link to play video or another movieclip.

I'm hoping this is very easy as I'm not very proficient in flash/as3. but from the looks of things it might be a bit complicated ..how would I go about calling an anchor id such as the one below:
<a id="v_toggle" href="#">toggle</a>
I want to toggle a javascript slide in the html page.
Flash is being used to create an animated button, and the anchor tag makes it so you can click on that to go to another page. On most browsers, you can click anywhere on the Flash object and the link works...but in Chrome, the link displays in the status bar when you hover over the flash element, but does nothing when you click it. However, there is a small area (about 19px) below the flash element where the link works.
How can I get this to behave the same way in Chrome as it is in other browsers?
I've got a flash animation of an extruding box drawn frame-by-frame for a "hand drawn" effect. The problem is that I now need to make twice as many frames to allow the box to extrude twice as far, and the canvas is too small to support this; the box would end up outside of bounds. I've tried resizing the canvas, but the extended space is at the opposite end of the canvas from where I need it. In photoshop you could chose where the added space "grew from" but I don't see that option here. Anyone knw a work around It'd be a pain in the tail to have to move very object in every frame for every layer.
I'm trying to use a button in Flash to jump to an anchor at the bottom of my php page. The swf is in a php pagetop include and the anchor is in a php pagebottom include. The code is:
btnNewsletter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandlerContact); function clickHandlerNewsletter(event:MouseEvent):void { if(event.target == btnNewsletter) {
I would like to navigate to an html anchor from a flash menu. I use navigateToURL("#anchorName", "_self"). It work fine in IE 7, Firefox 2 and 3 but in safari the page reload. How can I prevent safari from reloading the page?
See how the URL is changing depending on how you are going inside the website sections? This is actually great because you can use the <BACK button of the browser in a flash app.
How can this, URL thing, be done? I hope the technique does not involve creating 8 different SWFs for the 8 sections of a site because that will not be actually a trick... It's defenitely something else looking at that "#" thing.
