I am able to pass a variable from an html link that loads a separate html file and instructs the swf embedded file to go to a specific frame. But - I now need a link within an swf file on one page to open a new page and tell that swf to start on a specific frame and it is not working. Here is the code I use for the first example - works like a champ:

I have a website that I originally began to design in flash but later started developing new pages for it in html. The flash part of it has several pages on different frames and I have created links from the flash part to the other html pages, but, I can only link the html pages back to the main flash home page, and not the other pages in the flash part of the website.
View 1 Replies how to write the code that would allow a link from the html page to load a specific swf in the Flash movie.The flash movie currently has buttons that load the specific SWF into a loader.The user needs to be able to essentially click through that button from the html/url link (not having to hit the flash movie THEN find and click the button.The code in AS3 for the buttons is as follows:
Alpha_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Alpha1911);[code].....
I know this sounds confusing but it's really a simple question. You can follow my site to better understand. [URL]

i will send newsletter to client via emailclient clicks on image or link and it will open a specific frame in swfi know we can jump specific frame in html if swf is embed in same htmlbut i am looking for external swf in html to be played on specific frame.
View 1 RepliesI have reviewed and applied this wonderfull explanation contained in the post thread response from Mr. Catbert303 "linking to specific frame number or label from an html page" about the javascript and actionscript code combination wich allows the swf movie to force-jump into specific framelabel or framenumber and it also works perfectly whenever i go from the link "back to swf" on my plain html page to the movie content page (also html). But i need my swf movie content page to start playing from cero whenever it is played from start and not begining always at the specifyed frame in the actionscript code:
if (frame != "") {
gotoAndPlay(frame);
}
I have tried everything within the "if" & "else" conditionals and i can't get the swf movie content page to start playing from frame 1 everytime it is called up, but instead it looks like it reads the actionscript code described above and always takes you to the specifyed framelabel, not playing it from the start. I have a hunch i'm missing something extra on my actionscript code wich must determine if the swf file is to jump to the specified frame or start playing from cero, because if i remove the above AS2 code from frame 1, it then starts playing from cero normally like it should but won't jump to the specifyed frame when also needed from the HTML page.
I have an HTML frameset with a leftFrame and mainFrame. My navigation has been built in Flash and the SWF is embedded in the leftFrame.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to link to a specific part of my flash movie from an html page. Is there any way to link to a frame number or label? The site is html based, but the intro/home page is flash. I don't want users to have to see the intro every time they go back to the home page from somewhere else within the site. Is there something that I can append to my link on my html page to make it go to a specific frame in the swf?

2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
I am still learning Action Script but I have a problem with writing the full script for combing navigate to new URL and gotoAndPlay. More specifically what I want to do is use a button which when clicked will open a new page and then start playing my Flash movie at a certain frame on the Timeline. I have used buttons to navigate to a new URL and used the gotoAndPlay ( ) ; command to play a certain frame, both have been successful but when I combine the two I run into trouble. What happens is the new page loads correctly and goes to the specific frame but then opens the browser in a new window with the movie playing from the beginning. The correct sequence within the correct Webpage is playing but only if I close the current page, in other words what I am trying to achieve is running but in the background.

View 3 RepliesI have a website I would like to run locally in the computer. The website is in flash and links to some HTML pages in the same folder. How do I write the action script button so it opens the HTML page in the same page? Right now I have:
on (release) {
getURL("localfile.html");
}
The above code doesn't go to the HTML page that I wanted in the same folder. Do I need a relative path or something? Indicate the folder it is in?

View 1 RepliesI am designing a website in flash CS3 using Action script 2.0 not 3.0 and Flash Player 8. The architecture I used is as follows:I have a menu/main page which loads the swf files of other flash pages.I have a particular flash chatroom page which is loaded by the main page that I would like to be able to link an web address (example url...) directly too that particular sub flash page ...rather than going to the main.swf which is what the original web address uses.
Technically I know I could link a web address to the chatroom.swf file, but then it would estetically look incomplete since the theme/design of the website is in the main.swf which calls the chatroom.swf.Thus my question is: is there a way to assign the web address to the chatroom.swf inside the main.swf.I would like to go directly to the chatroom without clicking chatroom on the main.swf menu.
I have produced several .swf files to be used as part of an interactive cd. I have produced the home page in dreamweaver, with a button link for each of the movie clips, but when the clip ends it just stays on this clip, i need a kind of "home page" link at the end of the clip to take the viewer back to the page with all of the links to the other movies on,

View 2 RepliesI have several AS3 flash movies embedded in html pages, and for whatever reason, when you tab through the page, when you get into the flash movie, you can't tab out. The tab just goes in a loop through the tabindex of the swf.
Is there a way that you can add a button or a little script in the swf, set it to the last in the taborder, and then make it set the focus on the page to a link/div/id/anchor in the html, (outside the swf)
I am trying to make a movie swf to load different .swf files but pressing html links in the same page it's embeded. What I got is that links are passing good a variable called 'video' to swf... Using a jscript in html page, and html links as follows:
<script language = "JavaScript">
<!--
function PassFlash(){
window.document.movie.SetVariable("video", "video.swf");
} //-->
</script>
<a href="#" onClick="PassFlash()">Load this video into flash please!</a>
But I think I didn't build the actionscript correctly.. I can't find the way to make the movie to load a determinated .swf using that variable...If I put a loadMovie (video, "mclipholder") and a stop (); in a frame the variable is not useful because the movie doesn't load. If I add a gotoAndPlay (1) for making the movie loop, the swf loads again and again...I want the main movie to be able to recognize when an html link is pressed (and passes the variable called 'video') and then to load the correct movie....
the only "Home" button that works is on the "Theory" page, which is where the actionscript happens to be located(frame 76).. In other words, if I click on the "Theory" button, I'm able to return to my home page. However if I click on any other button, it plays straight through the remaining frames and loops back to the beginning.
Frame 75(nav buttons)-
Code:
stop();
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;
