I am building a web site for a friend.. Does anyone know if it is possible to open lightbox image gallery from a flash button? I would like to have a situation where the user can press one button and lightbox pops up with multiple pictures in that popup
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
I try to use a flash button to load external website to a pop up lightbox. I see a white box shows up but no content....
1. On the flash button: step1.onRelease = function() {getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate('[URL]','Green Wallpaper')");}; 2. On HTML:

View 1 Replieshow to call a button. I have a main file ("AS3Build.fla"), which imports an xml file, and imports different swfs depending on which node in the xml is being referenced. One of the swfs("slide_01_03.swf") I'm importing has a button("btn_01_01") that I'm having trouble accessing. First of should the script for the button be in the swf that holds the button, or the main file that will be importing the swf? I've got it in the swf currently with a trace file to see if it's recognizing the click. So far not luck. So I'm starting to think it should be in the main fla, and be referenced something like: this.loader.addEventListener.btn_01_01. This doesn't seem to work either though.
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble simulating a click call to a button(displayObject) thats generated via an API call( youtube as3 API). I have not seen any mention of security reasons as to why I can not simulate a click as long as something is registered with a click handler. Basically I checked to make sure the button made is listening to a mouse click event with:
trace(generatedButton.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)) which returns true
I proceed to than call this:
generatedButton.dispatchEvent( new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true) );
And nothing happens yet if I physically click the button it works. Is there some security measure that prevents something from being fake clicked unless its origin is strictly from the system mouse?
I even set a timeout call on the click function and moved my cursor over the button and let it fire in case it was an issue of the mouse having to over the object but still nothing. I am kind of stumped at this point.
I have created a custom lightbox that displays a flash file. The app is required to open the jQuery Datepicker above the flash file.
Here is the problem; only the header, the month name and navigation appear over the flash app. Everything else is below it.
I tried the wmode=transparent trick, but it makes the Flash app transparent and you can see below it. Plus, I believe the datepicker is having the same issue, where the month navigator is above flash, and the numbers are below the app.

View 1 RepliesI am using this tutorial to install lightbox within a flash cs3 as2 document[URL]..I got everything to work, now I am trying to set up the code to load an html page in the lightbox without changing the option to load jpg's as well.
So far I've tried changing the code in flash to say .html instead of .jpg and The lightbox keeps loading without ever finding the file.
i've designed a strip of thumbnails in flash to go in a Wordpress site i'm working on, which when clicked need to open up images and videos using Lightbox 2. (Lightbox is already setup and working.)The problem is that i'm importing the links for each of the thumbnail buttons from a .txt file which works like this:
Code:
getURL(_root.link1, "_blank");
Text file:
[URL]
This at present just opens the image in a new window, how can i make this work with Lightbox?[URL]
Everything works just fine the only thing i need to know is how to add more pictures to the lightbox?
showcase.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pop_up) ;
function pop_up(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("test");
ExternalInterface.call("Design_Gallery", "images/image-1.jpg", "image-1");
}
I'm searching something similar to the lightbox effect in javascript, but for flash.
I already tried succesfully "flash lightbox v2" (http://blog.alancurtis.it/tag/flash/) but I'm searching something native for flash, without javascript.
Does anyone know a lightbox in which I can load pages? I found one called lightbox-gone-wild but I am having problems with it.
View 1 RepliesI have a a flash movie with buttons and I want to open a link from these buttons to my lightbox 2.0. How would I do this?
I have entered this in the html script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate1(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[Code].....
Im using the Lightbox 2.0 [URL] And a flash movie in the same page. Now ive got this thumbnail slider in the flashmovie with thumbnails loaded from an xml file. As soon as i hit a thumbnail i want the Lightbox to show the full image of the thumbnail.
I've got everything set up and if i test if the Lightbox works with an html link it works perfectly:
HTML Code:
<a href = "path/to/image.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my Title">Lightbox test</a>
Now my question is how do I call the same action in AS?
I understood the rel attribute refers to both the Lightbox JavaScript and the StyleSheet. But i really dont know how to set the rel attribute in flash.
if it is possible to activate lightbox 2 from flash.
As extracted from the Lightbox tutorial, lightbox needs an <a href> tag with a rel="lightbox" attribute to be activated.
e.g.
Code:
<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>
However I dun think it is possible to use getURL(); for this in flash right?
is there a work around for this? what i am aiming to do is have the user click on an image/mc in my flash
e.g.
Code:
my_mc.onRelease = function() { // Activate lightbox from here };
and have it call the light box up.
want to load a lightbox gallery from within a flash .swf i no its possible because iv seen it done many times, and iv tried every tutorial on the net, most of which say the same thing, which I have done and it still doesnt work.So far I have created a javascript delegate which turns the flash command getURL into an anchor tag containing a rel="" attribute. Here is my javascript:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[code]...
I have then used a flash button to call the javascript function, in theory this should load my lightbox, however all that happens is the flash swf disappears and no lightbox overlay or image appears. I no that fksh objects do disappear when lightbox loads, however mine doesnt load. My ActionScipt on the flash button is as so:
Actionscript Code:
on (release) {getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate('1.jpg','caption1')", "_self")}

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to beef up one of the websites I run, and make a better image slideshow for the gallery page. Currently... I have this page for my own website, with the lightbox effect installed correctly. The effect is very nice:When you click on an image, it loads it into focus on top of the page. This is also possible using flash.. using lightbox++. I hope one of you knows of this My question to you is... I want a page that loads the pictures via an xml file, and have the thumbs loaded, and each of those thumbs setup to load the full size version when you click on it.

On mouseOver, the Flash objects will play a movieclip in place. On MouseEvent.CLICK, I would like the Flash objects to make the html page create a new iFrame with embedded .mov movie file in a lightbox effect.
