View 1 RepliesAfter moving from Windows XP to Windows 7 noticed this behavior in my Flex application. In IE8 when a user clicks on a link in the SWF file it uses the navigateToUrl api to open a new window pointing to an external site. This works as expected in XP on IE8 . However in Windows 7 clicking the link will open a new tab, this new tab however sits in the background therefore it is possible that it may not be noticed by the user. Also the content in this background tab does not always load fully unless you clear the cache. Has anyone come across this issue with Flex and Windows7/IE8? In the navigateToUrl function i pass in a param of _blank.
View 1 RepliesIs there an easy way to detect when a (righ-click) contextmenu is visible? I wish there was a "visible" property for theContextmenu class, but there isn't one.I've tried to listen to events to know when the menu opens orcloses but it would seem as though there are far too many(undocumented) events to take into account and some of the eventsmay be OS specific.For example, the following 3 events cover much of thescenarios of when the menu opens/closes..cmMenu.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_SELECT,onShow);cmMenu.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onHide);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onHide);But you can also click either the f10, alt, esc, or enterkeys to also close the menu. There could be other ways to close themenu, but since it is not well documented, I can't be certain.Too bad Event.CLOSE isn't dispatched when the menu closes.
View 2 RepliesI 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);}

I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:

I recently posted requesting some code to generate random food pieces onto the stage etc .. I got told to make the pieces of food to fall down and for more than one piece of food to fall down I'd need an onEnterFrame function and setInterval, thing is that I've been trying that for AGES and I can't seem to figure it out.

I am new to Flash and am working on a web template I purchase online. I have a flash file called flash.fla I'm working with in Flash CS4 (trial). Of the five main menu buttons, I would like to redirect the 4th (the "videos" tab) to a youtube channel I've set up. I've located where the 4th button is in my .fla file. It's called B4. I double clicked on it, which opens it up in the timeline. There's 4 little objects in the timeline: b, b, t1, and t2.b is a frame, as is the 2nd b, and both t1 and t2 are documents. The only one I can open up in ActionScript is the 2nd B. I choose the GetURL from Script Assist, and put in my desired address, as followsI then close out ActionScript, and Export it as an Image File. I name it flash.swf to replace the .swf with the same name on my server. When I publish the new changes, the page just says Menu. If I click on that,

View 3 RepliesI installed a flash template. It has navigation buttons with a nice roll-over effect. The buttons are all located within a symbol called "menu" (it is a Movie Clip type symbol, not a Button type). Each individual button in the menu appear to be in its own separate layer, so the first button is in a layer called "item1, second button in "item2", and so on. I want to edit the link for the fourth button so it goes to another website but I can't seem to find the code to edit the link. I managed to find

and this does work - upon pressing the button it goes to the website link. However, there is no more roll-over effect for this button. So there has to be an alternative or better way to editing the link for this button (without removing the roll-over effect).

View 1 RepliesI have set up a custom contextMenu. Now I want it to work similar to an html context menu.. I've seen it on a few sites but am not sure what the best approach is. Here's the basics of how I want it to work... If you right click on a link it will show "open link in new window" and for each link the target will change to relate to the link. But, if you right click somewhere that isnt a link the "open link in new window" is invisible.

I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the internet explorer, since it works on some computers. But I'm not sure... not very good at this.
