i've designed a strip of thumbnails in flash to go in a Wordpress site i'm working on, which when clicked need to open up images and videos using Lightbox 2.

This at present just opens the image in a new window, how can i make this work with Lightbox?[URL]
I have this thumbnail gallery that loads from an a simple XML. When a tumbnail is clicked its larger image loads into an UiLoader....
What i am trying 2 do is 2 show the larger image using a lightbox when a tumbnail is clicked (removing the ui loader for good). I have a lightbox that works with flash (when testing movie as well).
I have been trying for a couple days now 2 combine all this but it never works
I have a a flash movie with buttons and I want to open a link from these buttons to my lightbox 2.0. How would I do this?
I have entered this in the html script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate1(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[Code].....
I have a web site im making atm, the site is all flash , and i have a gallery with lightbox. But when light box is open, it seems to hide the entire web site, .

View 7 RepliesI have no idea how to ask this question properly. I am only designing this, not making it, so simple answers for me would be good, but also technical answers that I can pass on to the flash person.
On my home page, I am going to have 3 images that switch out, each that need to have a "learn more >" link and a 1, 2, 3, and pause buttons.My question is whether or not these image buttons/links can be placed on or embedded in the flash object. I read this is not possible and that buttons or links have to be separate from flash. Ideally if I wanted to place a "go" button on top of my flash image, that would be great.
However I have been told the only option is to make one side of this in photoshop where I have the buttons and then place that next to the flash image. My example of this would be the msn.com home page.
I have two buttons in a flash movie. Each button links to aunique url. I want to use XML to dynamically define the urls foreach of the buttons. Setting up in XML is easy. I'm usingattributes. Ex showing simple xml code:
<data>
<url_1 link="url path" />
<url_2 link="url path" />

I have a fla/swf file, with 6 buttons on it all with their own hover effects and such, however they're all on the same layer. So assigning a link to each one through actionscript is confusing as I've only done it if they were on different layers.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a flash website, I know the basics of html and AS3, but this is my first time trying to use them together. I need only two interactions between the swf file and the server:
The .swf needs to be able to grab image files from a directory hosted on the server
The .swf file needs to be able to change the URL
basically i imported a SWF within my flash file from an external file and only the randomize button works on the file none of the rest from the imported flash can anyone let me know why, if you need me to let me know and i will upload files
View 1 Repliesok i have used the code snippets in cs5 that grabs a .swf online and shows it in the flash file. However this is not exactly what i want.
Instead of the command triggering from a click i want the movie to load automatically. How?
Also is there any way of getting a .swf file and importing it into a new flash document? i have tried all the methods out but the .wf does not actually work properly. I cant just copy the timelines over as i dont have access to the one file all i have is tthe .swf -
So either i grab it from my server or if there is a way to import it into the flash that actually works.
I have a PSD file with layers that I am trying to import into Flash. The problem that I am having is that the text effects that I have applied in Photoshop are not transferring into Flash. All I get is the Font, Font size, and color. But I used Drop Shadow on some of the and some other effects as well. None of these are transferring over to Flash. Do I have to save them in a certain way i n Photoshop in order to effect the transfer. I want to be clear. I am not trying to import text effects as separate layers or anything complicated. I just want the text to look like it does in photoshop.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to import an audio file into Flash, but do not know what file extentions it recognizes. The file is .m4a that was created in iTunes. I can see how Flash would not recignize it, so what does Flash recognize, and I'll see if I can convert the file.
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash file that I would like to import into PowerPoint. First a few pieces of information:
1. I use a Mac but have a Parallel system at work so I have access to Windows PPT 2008. I am using Flash CS5.
2. The Flash file is not huge, it's just these animated curtains that open up to reveal a logo and text.
Questions:
1. I have found the only way to import the Flash file is to export as a .mov and then import that into PPT. This works great EXCEPT for that the text and logo look blurry in PPT. I have no idea why.
2. Is it possible to export a .mov file with just the curtain animation but with a transparent background so that when I import into PPT, we can just type the text directly within PPT and not have to include that in the Flash file?
3. I read online that you can import SWFs into Windows PPT but I have not been able to get that to work either.
I've built a form in Flex. When I run the flex project, I get a html file with some js, css and swf files (NOT A SINGLE FILE), swz files. When I run the main swf file alone, many things are working perfectly except at places where it needs to send a HTTPService request. When I use the html file, all works fine.
Now I want to do the following.Import this form made in flex into a flash site (actionscript 3)This form has various ViewStacks, where the user will be travelling through these. I want to reload the form back to its initial stage when the user wants to fill the fields again. Can there be any request sent to the Flash Site from this FORM, regarding the form submission success Can I compile the Flex Project to one single swf file, so that I can use this swf file without any Browser? Can I convert the webpage application Flex Project to an Adobe AIR application [URL]..
for a school project I'm doing I've been given a .SWF file to put into a flash file. How would I go about this?
View 2 RepliesI've been running Flash CS4 (on a mac) for a few weeks now without any major issues. But the last few times I have attempted to import to the stage from Illustrator CS4, Flash freezes up. It allows me to select the file, gives the appearance of loading then the stage remains blank. Menus pull down but all options are grayed out. How to remedy this?
View 1 Repliesi downloaded a free of use gallery from (this gallery) and i'm trying to load it in my flash site .. now, the gallery works if i open it directly (i open the swf file)when i try to load the external swf file into my siteloadMovie("image_gallery.swf", box);then the movie loads .. the gallery is displayed the message "loading xml file" displays and then when the xml is loaded the message "loading image 1/7" displays and only the first image loads.
once the first image is loaded it will not be displayed (it remains outside of my swf file .. i can see it when i resize the window) and no other images will be loaded.if i open the gallery.sfw file again everything works fine .. the problem is only if i try to load the gallery.swf in another swf ..something must be wrong ..i tryed to opern the gallery.fla file and copt everything directly in my site and the problem remains the same .. only 1 image loaded and not displayed in the gallery
I have Flash CS5 at work, and CS3 at home. I am creating a FLA file at home that I'd like to append to an existing file at work. I'm guessing that I'll just need to import all of the symbols from the CS3 file into the CS5 file and then copy and paste the frames - or is there a better way to do it? What I'd really like to do is to somehow convert the CS3 file into a movie clip symbol that I could just run in the CS5 file. Is this possible?
View 3 RepliesI am doing a web portfolio with thumbnail buttons that change the pictures. What is the best way to avoid having to make a new button for each new picture thumbnail? So resusing the button but changing the thumbnail picture in it and what picture it links to? Using CS4.
View 1 RepliesI need to create a flash photo gallery for their website. I've looked at different tutorials but all of the ones I have found only show stationary thumbnails. What I need is a gallery that shows the thumbnails with next and previous buttons, while showing the imaged that was clicked.
This is an example of what I would like. [URL]
This website gives you the option to turn on the thumbnails, I however do not want that option I just want to the thumbs on.
I bought a flash template who uses this code for links in the header
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 2;
_parent.ti1.gotoAndStop(num);
_parent.ti2.gotoAndStop(num);
[Code].....
What I want is to be able to modify the page URL from an external file (xml or txt). I want just an external file, and here, on the AS of the button to modify just the line number of where to get the link from external file.
I'm working on putting together a portfolio website in Actionscript 3.0, and here's my situation: I have four main sections (Home, Works, Reel and Contact). When you first enter the website, it directs you to the Home content, which is on Frame 1. When you click on Works, it is intended to take you to Frame 2 - which it does just fine. On the works page, however, there is a frame to display large versions of the row of thumbnails along the bottom. Frame 2 automatically displays the large image of the first thumbnail, but the second thumbnail redirects you to Frame 3, which is identical, except it replaces the large image of the first thumbnail with the large image of the second thumbnail - and so on and so forth.
The thing is, when I get to Frame 2, my thumbnail buttons aren't working and I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Portfolio_Site_03_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
What I'm getting from this error is that it essentially doesn't recognize my thumbnail buttons because they do not exist on frame 1. I even attempted to move the keyframes with the thumbnail buttons on them to frame 1 and everything was working just fine, except for the fact that I had big thumbnail buttons all over my home page which I do not want to be there. For reference, here is my AS code:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
//---Home Button---\
Home_Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,hClick);
function hClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
How can I resolve my situation and get my buttons to do what I want them to do? My only guess would be that I'd need to make a new scene, but wasn't that one of the major points of AS 3.0?

I have encoded the Flash movies with the "ClearOverPlaySeekMute" skin and uploaded the swf to the same directory as the main video swf. The skin does not display. (in any of them)
I thought that the skin had to be in the same directory as the swf, althought I have read that some say it should be where the html file is. Since WP is PHP is is less clear where it should go. I have uploaded the file to the WP folder, to the theme folder, and to the include folder but it still does not display.[code]...
Are there any ways(direct and indirect ones) to put Flash SWF into Wordpress
