Actionscript 3.0 :: Controlling Flash Via HTML Link?
Jun 26, 2009how to control HTML with Flash. That is not what I wish to do. I was hoping for something more along the lines of like...
<a href="http://mywebsite.com/flash/page.swf?xml_item=Blah">Click here</a>
And clicking the link would load up my Flash movie, which is basically just a shell that imports an XML glossary of terms, but when the page loads, it would automatically show the word "Blah" since that is the link that I clicked on in HTML.
Is this possible? I'm at about an intermediate level of understanding when it comes to AS3.0, but I haven't dabbled with manipulating XML using Flash much.

Sep 11, 2010I need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf .The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page.The following items have not worked: soundChannel.stop();,soundMixer.stopAll()

Jul 12, 2005I am creating a Flash program that consists of a "master" movie file that will call in individual chapters (*.swfs) as needed. I want to create a single (page) navigation structure that will reside in the master - yet allow the user to go to the next/previous screens in the movie currently being used. I have created the master movie and have placed an empty movie clip on one of the frames. From the main navigation, I have been successfully able to load the individual *.swfs into the empty movie clip when called from the menu using the following command: _root.emptymovieclipname.loadMovie("external.swf");
I have been unable to figure out the action script that will allow me to control the navigation within the external swf from the main timeline. Also - is it possible to determine the number of frames within each clip as they are called so I can turn on/off the fwd/back buttons when appropriate?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling Individual SWF's In HTML
Jan 28, 2006Let's say I have and HTML page that contains lots of small SWFs: example: Code: [URL] Let's say each of those SWFs has also assigned method STOP(); which stops it from playing further and PLAY(); which starts playing it(ex: u can see "PLAY" btn in example attached). Now what i want to do: I want to be able to controll ANY of those SWFs from ANY other SWF inside that HTML file. Ex: i click 1 SWF to PLAY(); and ALL other playing SWFs will be STOP();-ped, so that only 1 SWF plays at a time.

View 2 RepliesHtml :: Styling HTML Links Within A Flash File Without Using An External CSS File?
Mar 6, 2011I am having a nightmare using CSS to style HTML within a dynamic textfield in my flash doc. From what i now understand after much trial and error and reading online, CSS doesn't even work properly in flash even for the tags that it does understand (which are few and far between anyway). For some reason my layout is getting completely screwed up in certain scenarios (predominantly when there are images present too) when i hover over links (which are styled in an external CSS file). If i remove the external CSS styling (which only contains the following simple code):
a:link {text-decoration: none;}
a:active {text-decoration: none;}
a:visited {text-decoration: none;}[code]....
Then everything works fine (but no links are underlined as standard or on hover). Does anyone know of any way to style the links without using an external CSS file (all i want to do is have no underline as standard and then underline them on hover). As this is from user input into a text editor I cannot place these links manually on the page in flash as they could be anywhere, I need a way of parsing the HTML and then displaying it accordingly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling An External SWF
Jun 19, 2007I can't find a way to control an external SWF in AS3 like I used to be able to in AS2. This used to be a real simple way (among others) in AS2:[code]Unfortunately this has been abolished in AS3 . To load a SWF externally from a separate SWF file (on a separate CPU) in AS3, you now must now use a URL request along with a load request. However, the SWF is tied into this loader object of which's class does not contain "play", "stop", "currentFrame", "nextFrame", "prevFrame", "gotoAndPlay", "gotoAndStop", etc.According to the help panel, you can target any of the loader's child's methods by virtue of calling "loader.content" but it doesn't work. When I trace my "loader.content".... all I get back that it is an [Object Main Timeline] when I would expect it to be [Object MovieClip] if it were to have the methods I need.I need to do all sorts of gotoAndStop / gotoAndPlay functionality with external SWFs on another CPU. I have a nice XML server running successfully.

View 1 RepliesIDE :: Loading And Controlling External SWF
Jan 20, 2010I have a flash website in development and I'm using external .swf files for the sub pages. In my main.swf file I have a loading function that works and everything is fine and dandy there. My problem is that when I am loading the external "content" swf files into my main swf file, the actionscript that is embedded in my external .swf is not functional (there are buttons in the content swf with event listeners to control them). I have a movie clip holder set up and placed on my stage in the main swf file and that is what I am adding the content swf's to.
Now in all of my attempts to isolate the problem I have noticed one thing. If I add the external "content" swf directly to the stage of my main swf file, the code works, but if I add it to my container mc (which I have basically set up to control the position that the content is loaded to and to set up boundaries/masks to control the content from overspilling) then the code is not operational.
Code:
The code below is called by my loadContent function on my main swf
contentmc = MovieClip(event.target.content); // the external swf is assigned to a movie clip object
addChild(contentmc); // when using this, code works in the external swf
contentwindow.addChild(contentmc); // when using this, code in the external swf no longer works.
