ActionScript 3.0 :: Target Html Iframes Within A Flash Movie?
Mar 12, 2009
How do you target html iframes with actionscript within a flash movie? I have several buttons I wish to have target a single frame. I know that in Actionscript 2.0 and 1.0 it only requires a small amount of code, so I assume 3.0 also only requires a small amount of code.
What im trying to do is to link my Flash buttons using as3 to make an iframe change the html page its showing every time i click on a different button. The web page is as follow: An html page containing a Flash menu and one iframe. I was using this code with no result:
Code inside Flash SWF File var bt1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MY WEB PAGE"); function Fbt1(e:MouseEvent) : void{navigateToURL(bt1,"body");} bt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Fbt1);
Code inside HTML Frame: <iframe src="MY WEB PAGE" name="body" align="center" width="1010" height="500" margenwidth="1010" margenheigth="260" frameborder="0">Browser dont suport iframes</iframe></TD>
I get this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type flash.net:URLRequest.
I have a html page with 4 iframes out of these 4 one is a static html page and other 3 are html generated by flex. I have a button and list in one of the flex applications and the list will be populated on click of the button. Now what I want is to have a custom busy cursor to appear on the top of the whole html page until the list gets populated.
Im doing a site where the menu is in flash, and the rest of the site is in HTML. I was wondering if it's possible to target an Iframe with Actionscript or flash?
Is it possible to create a link on an html page that when clicked will load a new page, which has a flash movie on it, but make the flash file jump to, say frame 50, or a frame label?
I have a text field that has an html link in it with target='display'. So what i want to happen is when the link is clicked, flash opens a new window called display, then when another link(with same taget) is clicked, it will use the existing open window.
The problem is that it keeps opening new windows.
I know that this works in html, but for some reason Flash is not using the same window.
We have a Flash application that is running within an HTML file.For one page we call a legacy reporting system in ASP.NET that is within an IFRAME. This page then communicates back to the Flash application using cross-domain scripting (document.domain = "domain" is set in both pages. Now the kicker. Flash has history tracking enabled.This loads the history.js file that created a div tag to store page changes so the back and forward buttons work in the browser.Which works for Firefox and Chrome as they create a div tag.In Internet Explorer, history.js creates another IFRAME (instead of a DIV) called ie_historyFrame.When the ScriptResource.axd code attempts to access this with:[code]At my wit's end on this one.We have users who need to use IE to access this site. They are big clients who we cannot tell to just use Firefox.
Kirupa's tutorial on how to use Flash to target a certain frame in HTML doesn't work any more. The page opens up in a new window instead of in the targetted frame. This is the code that is used: on (release)
Note: I rarely join forums or post threads, however, given the living hell i went through to figure this problem out I thought i would go ahead and post this for all others having my problem (in hope that you find this link and it solves your problem). Aim: using frames, I want to create a flash menu in the left frame, the buttons in the left frame should open up the target page into the (main) right frame. [in other words a normal frame based website that has a flash menu as the navigation for the site] Problem: When using getURL to open the page in the frame i.e. on (release) {
We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox.anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?
I want to have some flash movie rotate these values every 10 seconds. I don't want to program it hard into flash, it has to be variable. It has to display the first set, then after 10 sec the second, and so on.Maybe if it is possible something that stops the toggle, and skip to just the second, or just the third.I also don't want to use javascript to do this (jQuery etc.), because this conflicts with another timer on the website.Is there a way of doing this?
I have 3 movie clips. I want to load these mc (a simbol, Not xx.swf file) to 3 specific places in my frame by default by clicking a button at the same frame. How to load these mcs to these places?
It doesn't really seem to say anywhere which version of Actionscript he uses, but at least it seems to show that what I'm trying to do is possible for someone, which is a start.
I'm trying to do exactly what he describes--I have several squares on a grid that are numbered, eg. grid_0101, grid_0102, grid_0103, and so on, for about 100 squares altogether, and I want to be able to target a given square dynamically.
This is the basis of the code I started with:
Code: var digsquare_x:String = "01"; var digsquare_y:String = "03"; var digthis:String = "grid_" + digsquare_x + digsquare_y; this[digthis]._alpha = 50;
I don't need to change the alpha specifically, I was just trying to see if I could get it to affect a given square in any way, and apparently the answer is no. I know that the value of "digthis" is accurate, but even blatantly telling it to refer to _level10[digthis] still gives me no results. Neither does _root.level10[digthis] which I tried just to see if it would work.
fellow action script programmers, I'm new to this forum and new to AS3, But I'm not not new to Flash. Anyways, I'm having an issue with my AS3 code and its ability to cooperate with an iFrame... I use to do this all the time in FP7 and FP8 but Adobe has changed how this works by making it all dependent code in AS3. Below is my code for AS to communicate to the iFrame, however it still goes to a new window. What is being done wrong here and what do I do to fix it?
So I would like to include pageTracker code in the iFrames that is being called.However the iFrames in this case are called from Flex. We are building a pop up and calling the iframes within the pop up.
In this scenario, what is the best way to include the pageTracker code to track and trasnfer the visitor and campaign cookies from one domain to the next?
I have a simple html doc with a flex app and an iframe side-by-side (using a 1x2 table).There is a button in the flex app that, when clicked, sets the "src" property of the iframe to a URL by using the ExnternalInterface.call method to call a javascript function "doNavClick(url)".Or that's the idea.When I comment out the iframe object declaration in the html, the call to doNavClick works (I pop up an alert to test)....yet when the iframe declaration is present, it doesn't even receive the call. It's as if the iframe has somehow broken the call dispatching mechanism.Is there a workaraound for this?The problematic code is as follows:
I am using a flash template with a _urls.txt file. I would like to change the code so I can display a target html page in an inline frame. My goal is to change the page content when a nav item is choosen without reloading the swf.Here is the original code in the template.
on (rollOver) { gotoAndPlay("s1"); } on (rollOut, releaseOutside) {
When I target flash player 10 in flex builder 3, the index.html template along with some other files (history.js, etc) are removed and no wrapper html page is built.Anyone else experiencing this? I have an ant build script as well, but I was trying to run the built in fb builder.
i'm attempting to resolve a problem with targeting. i would like to target multiple iframes from a link that has been pulled into a flash document. basically, the link needs to load a title and an mov file. the mov file has to be loaded into an iframe, but the title could be loaded into another dynamic text field.. i'm using a text file that is loaded into a dynamic text field. the link within the text file currently looks like this:
What would be the best way to embed a Flash movie into HTML? I have read that HTML5 lets you use <embed>, but obviously not all browsers will recognize this yet.
I'm having trouble displaying a overlay div saying "Please wait..." on top of a flash movie, even with absolute positioning and z-index highier than the flash movie itself. But the overlay div is still behing the flash movie. Why is that? I think it's something to do with embed/param tags but I'm not sure? Here's the code:
I've added a flash movie to my website, and set it's background to transparent, with wmode=transparent. This works flawlessly on Firefox, but on chrome, the background is just black. the website is http:[url].....
I have two movie clips on my main time line. There is a button in movie clip 1 that I want to target to movie clip 2... and it's not working for me. I'm assuming that when I'm in movie clip 1, I need to tell it to go back up to the main time line, and into the movie clip 2.The site that does the same exact thing I'm trying to do is this tutorial:The buttons and the page area are two seperate movie clips, but the buttons in the button movie clip target to the page area movie clip.This is the code that I'm thinking I'm getting an error with:Code:MovieClip(root).eyecarePage.gotoAndPlay(10);- where eyecarePage is the Instance Name of the movie clip where I want the button to target to, and once it's in that movie clip, I want it to go and play frame 10 and on... but instead I get a #1009 error.
