I have a button in my main file (Interiors-02.swf) in Scene 1. When I click it it loads an outside swf (buttons.swf) into a blank movie. This movie has 10 buttons. What I want is for when I click one of those buttons to go to Scene 2 or 3 in the main file (Interiors-02.swf) Can I do this and what would the code be for the button?
View 1 RepliesMy swf file is stored on the web server in say /images/swf/my_swf.swf
The web page I want to link to is stored in the same folder /images/swf/My_Page.htm
So if my_swf.swf is embedded in say Original.htm page in the /images/swf/ directory.
When the visitor to Original.htm Clicks on the Button_btn they will be linked to the My_Page.htm with the following code.
Code:
_root.Button_btn.onPress = function () {
getURL("My_Page.htm", "mainFrame");
}
I have to store the My_Page.htm and the my_swf.swf where they are but the Original.htm is else where and has a number of other .swf's on it. So now when the Vistor click on the Button_btn the link tries to find the My_page.htm in the root of the Original.htm. How can I make the link in the my_swf.swf force the link to read from the root of the swf rather than the Original.htm?
Does anyone know how to link to another _root in another scene?you would think that this code would do, but... for some reason, it doesn't work:[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a problem trying to get a button to go back to the start of the a main movie. I have added the button(see below) into the main movie which is only one frame and contains a quiz movie. I want the start button to be visible in the quiz movie (which happens ok) but want it to link back to the main movie when clicked. The link is not working and no errors are showing.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.controls.Button;
var startTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
startTextFormat.bold = false;
[code]....
Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

View 1 RepliesI 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 have a datagrid with different types of columns, like I have checkboxes, combo boxes and text Inputs as the column types. Now I want one of the column type to a link, with the label "view". All the rows in that column are link with the same label "View" and on clicking it, I want a Pop up window to be opened?
This is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[code]....
I didn't know how to bring a link in the datagrid. So used the Text control to display the "View" label. Now If I click this item, "View" in the datagrid, I want the Pop up function, i.e.,defectCommentsPopUp() to be called.
i have created a flash animation for my homepage, i want to make part of that flash animation a "enter" button so when clicked would go to my page 2 on my website.
i have never done any script before and only used dreamweaver on a mac. is there an easy way to create this button to link to my next page and to stop my file to stop looping?
I've created a flash naviagation menu and currenlly my links will open a pop up window. I don't want this. I want it to open the link in the same window. Here is the code for one of the links:
var home:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html");
function homeDown(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(home,"_self");}
button_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,homeDown);
I have created a small application which takes it's information from an xml file and displayes it in a news ticker which is a flash Flash AS2 application. tell me the correct way to format the link tag in the xml if there is a standard when wanting to state a target for the link? The xml file currently looks like:
<newsTicker>
<item>
<header>Test Message 1</header>[code]....
So what I want to do is to be able to open the link in a taget=_blank window however adding that to the end of the url does not currently work.I have added a comma and also tried using a space, space and encompassing in quotes but none are working.
i created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg"));
trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.
I connected the flash with php framework, click the menu button while the other has always been a double-link examples:[code]
View 3 RepliesI've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest'
I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.
I have a 90% all flash-site and when u click news webpage splits up in HTML blended with flash in a page called news.asp
(buttons are in flash and content in asp bellow)When loceted on news.asp and you click... let's say service you go back to index.html with the flash main.swf, but the link has ALSO have to go to label (service) or frame 30 lets say...
I tried the transitions tutorial, and it works fine, except that there is a break between the first link and second link.

and as you can see, there is a certain flash between link 1 and link 2.
Error #1085: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>".I am trying to parse a Feedburner XML file to play podcasts from this file in a custom-made podcast player. I CANNOT edit the XML file, and what's more, the <link> tag actually does have a closing </link> tag. The player works absolutely beautifully in Firefox and does not spit out any errors when I test in Flash, but it does not work at all in Chrome or IE. Instead, I get this blasted error.
I have searched up and down the internet for a solution to this and have found nothing that works. No timer events, no editing the xml file (as I indicated before, I don't have access to it). I think it might have something to do with Feedburner feeds and their namespace tags.

View 7 RepliesI have a movie mc that contains buttons called menuMovie.I also have another movie clip called "myMovie". There is an instance of menuMovie on the main timeline in keyframe1 called "_menuMovie_mc".There is also an instance of myMovie on keyframe1 called "_myMovie_mc" .I want to have one of the buttons in menuMovie play myMovie.mc which has a label called _here". My understanding is:
root._myMovie_mc.gotoAndStop("_here");
Okay, I did a search on stage and got a lot of forum threads going in different directions about static and global variables. _root to my understanding no longer means the main timeline, it's the root of...what? and how does this relate to the stage? Is the stage there or does that need and addChild() as well? Like, overall I guess my main question is, "What is the proper way of incorporating stage and root in document class structure?" I built my entire site using the structure, but I learned halfway through that I had to use addChild() to make it a display object. I'm trying to get this down so next time I get it right.
