I am working on a project that I need to create a flash navigation bar for a html site. There will be a drop down menu when you rollover the buttons on the nav bar, which means the drop down menu will be overlaying on top of the html pages. I saw websites were done like this before, but I personally don't know how to do it.

View 1 RepliesI have a .swf I'm inserting at the top of a page in DW. I have a button named "aboutUs_btn" which when pressed needs to load "aboutUs.html. That part works fine, but it always loads the page into a new window. How do I make it load into the same window? I could do this in AS2 with getURL and using _self. Here is what I have:
var aboutUsLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("aboutUs.html");
aboutUs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,aboutUsClick);
function aboutUsClick(event:MouseEvent):void{navigateToURL(aboutUsLink);}

I have an iframe to a page where a Flash swf file is running; does anybody have an idea how to make it transparent so that my drop-down menu should be shown perfectly? Kindly be informed I can't edit the source page (add param = wmode, value = transparent to the Flash object), only if there is any chance to make it possible in iframe or some JavaScript on my page, I have already tried allowtransparency="true" and background-color="transparent".

View 1 RepliesI 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 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.

View 2 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 was trying to work through a Flash navigation menu tutorial [URL] and pretty much have it done except for a motion tween that is not working. Im working with a number of movie clip buttons with some tweens except my motion tweens are not working. When i right click in the time line to and click motion tween the frames turn blue but there is no arrow, and when I test, the project works except without a motion tween. I believe it's steps 16-18 that are giving me problems.
View 2 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.
i 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 RepliesLet 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.

View 2 RepliesI have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution?
one?
Client has a flash navigation menu on his website. When the site is accessed via [URL] the hardcoded links in the flash nav load pages properly. When accessing the website via the [url] the site navigation links can not load the proper pages and instead just redirect the user to the root domain.
I assume this can be fixed with a change to the .htaccess but I do not know how flash handles these links.
.htaccess:

I am trying to build a page transition in Flash. The way I have it set up right now is as follows:
1) I have a movieClip with the transition animation.
2) I have two buttons, both MovieClips. And the actions layer of my timeline is scripted as follows:
Code:
stop();
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
navVar="firstpage"
_root.transitionClip.play();
} mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
navVar="secondpage"
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
3) The last from of my Transiition movieClip I have this code:
Code:
stop()
if(navVar=="firstpage"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(navVar);
}else if(navVar=="secondpage"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(navVar);
}
When I click on the buttons, they are loading the transitionClip movieClip. But they are not moving to the correct framelabel after they hit the last frame of that movieClip.
I 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.
