I am using new URLRequest to load a page. I cannot seem to get it to load in the current page rather than create a new page. Here is my code;
Actionscript Code:
home.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e){ navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://www.site.com/page.html') ); } );
how to get the URLRequest to bring up the new page in the same window? I am trying to create the flash navigation bar and it keeps opening up on a new page.

In 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've decided to take the jump to AS3 now but im having a lot of issues... Im trying to load an external swf into a movieclip.
In AS2 it would be:
PHP Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("mainLoader.swf","externalLoader_mc");
[Code].....
How can i load the URLRequest into an actual movieclip as i have done in AS2? As far as i know the load function only accepts one variable. ATM the external swf im loading is just going into thin air and i can't get anything to happen (i have the functions created to deal with the events btw).
Edit: Just fixed it by adding externalLoader_mc.addChild(myLoader);
there you are, you set up your AS3 code to load XML via a URLLoader and URLRequest, as normal. You then take your XML file, and upload it to a server. You then run your program, and trace out the XML you receive. So far so great, and you see the results of your XML traced out. Then you change something on your XML, either adding to it or removing a line. You then run your program again from CS5.5, and trace out the XML, and it shows the same results that it did before you made any changes. I deleted the XML file from the remote server, and it is like it stored it in cache, and still able to read it. If I change the url or file name, it gives me an error, which it should.
If I point the url back to my remote XML file, and run the program again, it gives me the XML results I had in the beginning, before I made any changes to it (regardless if the XML file exists). The only fix I have found so far, is closing CS5.5, and reopening, and then it can see the changes. I did that, and it was able to see my XML changes on my remote server, but again, only one time. If I try to change anything, or delete the XML file, it still pretends as if its there, reading the results that it read the first time I run the program. Is this a cache issue? Anybody else experience this? I never remember running into this problem using CS5/CS4/CS3, only CS5.5. Of course, I can test it all locally first, and then upload the XML file to the remote server when I know that no other changes need to be made, but still, this is really weird!
I have made a XMLloader with URLrequest, and it works locally by calling the file directly by its name ie. "myFile.swf". var presLoader:Loader = new Loader(); presLoader.load(new URLRequest("myFile.swf")); addChild(presLoader);
But when I uploaded the loader to the server, I have no file, only "URL not found"-error. So I found out that I should change to URL to "/Files/Images/subloader/myFile.swf" then it will load. But thats a real problem, because I have several loaders.
I want to have a different image load on my home page everytime the page refreshes or someone visits it. Is it possible to do it without using Flash?
View 2 RepliesMy basic aim is to create a newspaper that consists of four pages. Each page i have created and are sitting in the library as sprites. Each page has buttons that need linking so that when pressed it loads the next page or page that i want. This is the part i am confused with =/ how do i make the buttons on each page load the next page (sprite) from the library??
View 2 RepliesI have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.

3) don't know how to cdde for leaving the home page and making it disappear
Im working on a website for school, and im doing it through flash. The server ive been given is being taken up by thousands of pages, so its slow. Instead of loading each page through HTML, ive decided i could do a seperate frame for each page. However, to reach the menu at the bottom, you have to scroll down. Is there any way to make it so that when you click a button to load a different page for the flash player to scroll up all the way to the top of the page itself?
View 1 RepliesIm building a flash banner that takes dynamic xml data from another domain and displays them as links. To make the swf reload the xml (the xml links change all the time) every time Internet explorer is updated (instead of loading from the cache) I added +new Date().time to my URLrequest, and suddenly the links takes 9 seconds to display. Firefox doesnt have the cache problem and without the +new Date().time it displays the updated links almost instantaneously. Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?? a 9 seconds loadtime is too long.
Here is the first parts of my code:
__________________________________________________ ____________
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
//en trace variabel til hover state. Fjern da ogs� variablen de steder den benyttes.
var hover:Boolean;
[code]....
After that I use the linkList to dynamically create the links as textfields, with some formatting, hoverstate, linebreaks etc.
only thing I changed was adding the +new Date().time, and it displays the links so slow.
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 have some preloader frustrations..dont point me to a previous preloader thread...i have been there already and no im not talking about any preloader that loads the WHOLE movie at the beginning, i know how those work... I need a tutorial/explanation that will teach me how to load a move 'button by button' or 'page by page'.
By this I mean, the first thing the movie will do is load the first 'page' and say you have a few more buttons on that 'page'. It loads all the buttons and that 'page' first..nothing else...then i click one of the buttons (no matter what order) and the 'page' switches to a preloader and then when the second 'page' is loaded, it is displayed.So many sites have this kind of preloader...but i cant believe how many tutorial sites only teach how to program the type of preloader that just loads the WHOLE movie.
I have problem. My website works fine when it is in server and Iam opening it via IP or typing localhost/, but when iam opening index.html file it shows that active X is blocked, but when I enable it, web page wont load futher then 0% preloader, why is that?

View 2 RepliesI have a flash movie that loads another movie into a place holder container upon opening. So, 2 swf files - one is the main movie and the other the one that loads into the main movie. Works just fine when testing in flash or clicking on the swf files outside of flash. But when I embedd the main movie into my html page - the main movie loads ok, but it doesn't load the child movie. I have both swf files in the directory so I am not getting why it works fine except when placing into html page.

I have 20 different flash files that i need to play randomly when a user enters a zip code. I am done with the project, but the way I have done it is I think could have been done a lot better. I have 20 different aspx files that have the flash object. I redirect users to different aspx files based on the random number using Random class. Is there a way to just have one aspx file where the param value and data could be passed using a variable. That way, its easier to maintain and i don't have to go to 20 different aspx files to update anything. Here is what the flash object looks like.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="960" height="952"
