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. The pages that the nav link to need to load in the mainFrame.I have gone through your tutorial "Flash & HTML Frames" but unfortunately it doesn't work - it opens a new window.

View 3 RepliesI did a tut from actionscript.org about chromeless windows. It works fine but I would like to launch multiple chromeless windows from one html page. I pasted the script two times, added the correct addresses and now one button is launching the page behind the other button and the other button isn't working
View 2 RepliesSo I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
Ok - i have a main movie template. It simply contains 'loaders' to load in other swf files. There are a total of 6 different movies being loaded one at a time. It's a magazine of sorts.
So page 1 will load swf 1, and so on.
How can I configure this that if we want a user to go directly to page 3 of the movie - we can give them a URL to do it.
Neiman Marcus does something very similar.
This will take you to page 3 of their flash movie: [URL]
PageFlip v2.25 from UrL...Need to have the book automatically open to page 4 when loaded. Or open and skip to page 4 in the animation. It seems there is some commented out actionscript to do this but I am not sure how to put it into a working function.[code]
View 1 RepliesI 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.

What I am trying to do is to disbale the page flip when the user clicks the corner of the page on a specific page, and rather have a button that when pressed will flip to the next page. I only want this on a few pages so do not want to disbale all the pages.
There are some explanations within the actionscript:

/*you can use these functions:
gotoPage( destinationPageNo, skip );//quick jump to the page number:
destinationPageNo; values = 0-maxpages; skip: boolean; if true, pages will be skipped to the destination!

Looking for getURL syntax /parameters that will let me open/display a specific page of a PDF in a new browser window.
Tried this, but it's not working:
pdf_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("pdfs/sample_file.pdf#page=605", "_blank")
}
The pdf file opens in a browser window, but not to page 605. It opens to page 1 of the pdf.
It there any way of displaying videos on a website that would allow me to show just a clip of a video without physically slicing the file into actual clips? Specifically, I'd like to play the clips using an open source flash player. I could make specific clips, but that is time consuming and a maintenance nightmare.youtube won't work because it is very important we be able to control who views these videos. Also, this web application is running off of a classic LAMP stack.
View 6 RepliesI'm aware of the .click() method but the click must be on a prezi loaded (flash) so don't really have a html element to use.
What I have instead are the exactly coordinates of the place I want to simulate click on. Is there any way I can do that?
The click must activate a flash element. (A play button)
Note: There is a similar question around that have an answer witch require swf control. I don't have that so that method is not applicable.
One other quick question... what happens if I simulate a click on an element that has display: none. It click on the elements "under" it? (as a normal click would do; and yes I know this sounds funny but I don't know how to explain it otherwise). If yes I was thinking of making a position absolute div, put it on top of flash and use .click(). The problem is that i have a feeling that the click won't be applied on flash.
This is somehow a combination of javascript simulate mouse click on specific position and mouse click somewhere else on page (not on a specific div).
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 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.
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.*;

View 3 RepliesI 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.

Is 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?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a link from one flash site to another, but not just to the home page of it, but to a specific part of it.

View 1 Repliesi'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].....
What I want is a hint how to make a specific thing happen while clicking a specific button. Like "if I click button 1, do this". Would like to use this script though I'm gonna add buttons over time and this is an easy way to have the functionality working.
Here's the code:
Attach Code
function hitButton(btn) {
btn.onRollOver = function() {
this.colorTo (0xC4006A);
