Suppose I have Flash navigation on an HTML website and want one of the Flash buttons to link to an anchor point within the HTML page that the Flash nav is embedded (i.e. and anchor like this: <a name="top" id="top"></a>) For the Flash navigation, I can link to this anchor by adding the following actionScript to the button:

Is it possible to have a link in Flash link to a different (named anchor) section of an HTML document? I suspect not but I imagine it may be doable with Javascript. Anyone know anything about this?

HTML version of a jump to a named anchor. Question is can you accomplish the same thing from a link in a swf?
I know when I create a Flash file I can utilize ActionScript to link buttons created in the .swf video file. Can I do the same with HTML 5? I would like to change one of my swf files over to HTML 5 to experiment with the new code. I heard Flash was going to offer this feature in CS5.

I have a FLVplayer that has multiple films linking to it. There are also categories of films that can change, without disturbing the previous video from playing. This will be on the 'portfolio' page of my website. I then want to have links on the homepage to play certain videos.How can I set up an HTML link to a SWF on a different HTML page, linking to a certain frame (category) and loading the correct video in the FLVplayer?I have read about flashvars but im not sure if they can load bits inside the swf (ie the video).
View 1 RepliesI have an html form page with a .swf navigation bar. I'd like to be able to click over to a second html page which contains a .swf file, and go directly to a named frame of that swf file.
Can I specify a named frame from the first html page like that?
What in your opinion is the best way to for me to link to a specific frame or label between 2 different swf's
Situation: AS3
I have a splash page (i'll call it home.html) that uses code that only works in FP9 the navigation buttons are also in this swf. The main part of the website is in another swf that only works with FP10. So when I click on a button in home.swf i need to open main.html and have main.swf go to a certain frame or label.
hey there guys im doing my final major poject for college in media and were making a set of films and making a flash interface to go with them i was just wondering how can i make links in flash that either link to a an localy saved Html document or a localy saved .mov? i know how to link them to a website but not a locally saved file?
View 1 RepliesIm working on a project where i have 5 buttons on one side and a blank window in the middle of the screen. when a button is clicked an external swf is loaded with movieclips of text based on each catergory. 2 of these movieclips of text are long and a request for an index at the top of the page has been made. everything in the movie is working so far except the page index. i wanted to create this similiar to the way an html index works with page anchors.
i have made all the letters and converted them to movieclips. ive added event listeners to those buttons so that the main window's y position is moved when they are clicked. the main swf window will jump down to the desired position but the scroll button remains at the top and theres no way to scoll back up to the top of the page.
I need to have 4 external links going into my my flash site, seperat frames. It kind of works when using anchors in my "main.swf", and not load the "main.swf" using the loader component, but then all by itself the "main.swf" starts to jump between the 4 different anchors. When I load the "main.swf" using the loader component, nothing happens, and I feel I need to have the loader component aswell. I have tried to put the anchors in seperat frames in the "main.swf" aswll as in the "loader.swf".
This is how my site is build:
index.htm (with the html anchor codes needed) with the loader component "myLoader" in the index.htm loading the "main.swf".
I have a flash animation of a glowing orb.Orb should always be dark, but should glow when i hover over menu items.SWF file is written using actionscript3.And menu looks something like this
<ul class ="menu">
<li class="menuitem">menu1</li>
<li class="menuitem">menu2</li>
<li class="menuitem">menu3</li>
<li class="menuitem">menu4</li>
</ul>
I want my orb to glow whenever i hover over menuitem class. Should I link with jQ or should I create another SWF file for the menu and then link them together (if so, how do I do that).
I'm trying to use a .swf for a navagation button in a website I am creating but I'm running into a bit of a problem. I need to know how to code the button (In Flash) so that they link to my specific .html page. Is this possible to do with a realitive link?

View 3 RepliesSo the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.
I have solved my remote linking from an external html, to specific swf frame problem. But now, as usual another problem has reared its ugly head. I have a button(s) with a spotlight animation effect in the "over state". It works fine on the "home" page, smooth and clean, but when you link to a frame in the timeline, once in that frame the spotlight effect stills shows up when mouseover, but becomes erratic and very jittery.[URL].. Once there, if you click on about, events, or news, and load any of those pages/frames, you should see the spotlight flicker on mouseover on all buttons

I have a website where my Home, About, Work and Contact pages are on four different frames on the time line. Once you click on the Work link from the opening Home page, your brought to the second frame where a little tween brings a bunch of thumbnails into view. When you click on the thumbnails, it brings you out of the .swf and into a new HTML page. The problem is getting back to the Work page in the .swf with out being brought to the opening Home page. I have used an anchor on the time line and changing my publish settings to HTML with anchors, and they do work! But, its opening my .swf in the Work frame and running through the movie back to the Home. Iv tried putting a stop(); on the Work frame, which does stop it but its a dead page, my tweens, buttons, everything is frozen.
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble linking buttons from a swf banner that will be on all html pages. I'm using the following script, which doesn't work yet.For now, I have only two buttons.

I am having a strange delay issue when clicking on a button. My code is simple and is as follows:
fight.onPress = function() {
getURL("pages/pageOne.html", "_self");
}
stop();
-fight is the instance name of the button
-the code is in the actions layer as it should be
-there is no other AS within the animation
The problem is when the animation finishes and a "click here" button comes up, it takes several clicks for the button to actually work. It eventually goes to the url but only after multiple clicks, between 1 and 8. The hit box of the button is larger than the button itself so its not the empty counters in the letters or spaces between words.
I am trying to figure out how to link a bunch of buttons to different photo albums inside a single HTML page in Dreamweaver. Here is an example of what I mean: [URL]
Unless I'm mistaken, everything in this website is contained within one HTML document.When you click on any of the various buttons in the portfolio menu, they simply load up and appear inside the same HTML document.
How on earth do you do this without clicking on any of the various buttons and having them linked to another page??
I 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.

View 1 RepliesI have a swf embedded in an xhtml page for my navigation bar. My whole site is contained in one xhtml page, using anchors to zoom to different sections. For example, there is a contact section, an about section, and a travel section. All of these are linked via getURL on the swf file, and set up as anchors on the xhtml page.I have a java script that scrolls to anchors when a regular <a href="#anchor">anchor</a> is clicked, but it does not search the swf for getURL("#anchor"); so, when users click links in the swf, it does not scroll the xhtml page, it simply "jumps" there.Any solution on how to link my java with my swf??

View 2 Replieshere is my new code that works for PART of my movie. i have two dynamic text boxes, one named "item" and one named "ssnumber" ssnumberNode works fine but itemNode does not. i bolded the parts that i think are relevant to the problems
[Code]...
Suppose one does:
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
[code]...
here xmlPath is the path to an RSS feed. I parse the xml and what not but then i define a dynamic text box in processXML which uses the parsed data. for example:
bla.htmlText = "<p><a href="http://www.fandango.com/drive+angry+3d_131568/movieoverview?wssac=123&wssaffid=11840"><img src="http://images.fandango.com/r84.9.1/ImageRenderer/69/103/images/no_image_69x103.jpg/131568/images/masterrepository/tms/94283/94283_aa.jpg" alt="Drive Angry 3D" title="Drive Angry 3D" border="0" /></a> Opens Friday, Feb 25, 2011</p><p><a
[code]...
This is fine except that because the loader event fires after loading the xml file the text is showing up "before" the src images inside this html actually are loaded...
Is it possible to control the individual anchors of a path using Actionscript 3.0? If so how?
