I don't think it's necessary to load the whole pages, since the header, menu and footer will be the same on every page. Also I want the button of the menu item clicked to stay highlighted while the new content is loaded, thus I want to avoid reloading the menu. And the last demand is for the pages to be linkable (i mean a unique url address for each page). I'm opened to implementing php or java script or any other technology, although i don't really used them before.
I am making a game. And this time trying to implement menu (-->tutorial) -> game-> scoreboard -> game over screens.
These screens themselves are quite different in terms of structure. So i am not sure if states is a 100% correct approach here (as I understand states are good for similar layouts) From the other hand many of them has back button to return to previous state, e.g. in tutorial I will have start game and back to menu buttons, etc.

I am trying to implement a comment form for a flash page using a php email system. I am new to flash, but I got it working for the most part. The problem is that I receive emails, but they are blank and do not contain the info I put in. Below is the Actionscript I used and the php I used.
on (release) { if (!FirstName.length) { EmailStatus = "Please Enter your name."; }

I'm trying to edit a Flash file, that get it's data from and XML file.Now when you click on one of the menu items, the page + page title should change, but somehow the page title remains the same. (at least for the first 3 menu items) But when you go to the last menu item and then back to one of the first 3 menu items, the correct page title is shown.I'm no flash / AS expert, so I can't really find out what the problem is, but it seems like it has something to do with this function
Now my problem is getting back to the main menu icons (built in Flash) once the user has looked at the swf(s) (built in Catalyst) they want to. I made the stage 50px longer to accommodate a button and have tried virtually all snippets etc (I'm not a coder) but nothing seems to work. How do I get back to the main page from the uiloader
On the home section of my website I just made a drop down menu, which will not go away on the home pages.Do I need a line of code which cancels it on every single labeled section on the site?I believe the reason is that the home page is an animation sequence and the drop down menu has an invisible rectangle with the following AS3 applied:
function invisClipOver(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(1); }
I purchased a template from template monster. I am tweaking it, trying to replace the flash picture slider with html. I want the flash menu to remain.

I have a question about the navigation of this movie website, (inside content) they have this springy menu when you rollover the menu inside the page (the backstage button)

so I have created a basic flash navigation menu bar for my website. I have added the bar into a frame on my dreamweaver page. I was just wondering if it was possible to link the buttons on my flash bar to open the pages into a different frame, the main frame below, my navigation bar? The code I have at the moment for my "home" button is the following:
[Code]...
and this is opening the "home" page in a new window. Is it possible to make it open it in my main frame (called mainFrame)? When I change _blank to _self it opens the page in the same frame where the menu bar is, not the mainFrame below it.
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.
I am having problem with flash main menu it reloads when ever you click a different button to another page on it. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. Is there any codes that can create some kind of cache so we can open next page without reloading flash? Site: replace (dot) with "." please [URL]
I have a client who wants to edit a text area with updates on her food menu through a html page to the flash site, but she doesn't know any computer skills/uploading etc.anyone know how i can do this or any tutorials that you can point me in the right direction
i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void { this.gotoAndPlay(30);} function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
I am trying to create a dropdown menu from the top of my home page for navigation similar to this site.I'm just having a little difficulty on the correct process.Not sure if I make a movie clip for the bar to drop down when rolled over and how to place the text buttons so they appear when the bar drops down.
I have recently purchased a XML based template and need to make an existing XML link goto an internal menu page. I have been able to create buttons in the flash template itself using action script with no problems. In my site I have several buttons that say more, so in the XML document it has these internal links, asfunction:_root.more_click_func,1. So what I am trying to do is have thiese links goto the contact page, so I assumed it was simple as directing the asfunction to the internal menu which is 6 but it doe snot work. asfunction: "6" asfunction: contact
so i am making a website in Dreamweaver cs5 and i am going to be importing a .swf animation for the menu bar i made in Flash. how do i make an action in Flash direct to a page of my website in Dreamweaver for example the index.html file of my web page.right now i have an actions layer with a stop(); command on the last frame of the animation i want to add a command under that, that will take the user to the index.html page of my website when the button is clicked. I have the button already made as well as the animation all i am missing is the code to go to the index.html page.
So I know Flashvars uses a lot different methods in AS3 because of the loader classes and all that. How do I disable the button and make it only display the second frame to the button corresponding to the page that the user is currently on?I've called a variable in the HTML document using query string (or I could use Flashvars just as easy if that makes it easier) called "currentPage" and on each page in the HTML give it a page name.I know how to grab the variable from the HTML into a text field in the SWF (see this tutorial) but I'm having trouble manipulating my menu buttons.
I've been working for a week on a very important task and learning (with Moock's book beside me) as I go. I'm trying to build a menu layout that functions a lot like an iGoogle page. Is this just a matter of a lack of syntax knowledge on my part or is this not possible? I can't find any examples of anything even close. I'm not sure which answer I'd prefer, but I'll take any insight that someone with more knowlege than me could offer
Is it possible to use HTML frames with Flash? For example, I want to make a flash menu system on my site, and have the click of the menu buttons open up an HTML page in a different frame.
I have a home page and five other pages. The five pages have a main menu at the top containing buttons that allow you to go to the other pages:
on(release){ gotoAndPlay("gallery"); }
I have an actions layer. Each section has the following action in the first frame: stop(); When I view the website the home page works correctly. However, any page with the main menu automatically switches to the next page after about six seconds. The code seems pretty straightforward so I have no idea what I'm missing.
I 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);}
