Flash :: Professional - Changing <li> Tag In External Fed HTML
Aug 10, 2010
Ive got some external HTML text being fed into flash, all I want to do is to edit the <li> tag in the HTML (not CSS) so the bullets sit flush to the left with the rest of the text, thats it! is there something i can put in the HTML that will resolve this such as:
I currently pull an html file into our site via iframe. (due to various factors, I cannot host the information in the html on our site and need to host it elsewhere). Is it possible to use a loader or other method to pull this information into flash?
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 two flash pages, one black and one green, and I need the html background color to change accordingly. What I think I need to do is code the button to change the b/g color.
I've been following this tutorial so far: [URL]
but for some reason it's not working.
It might be a securities issue, it opens up the page asking me if I want to run the JS. When I click 'yes' it opens up the page but the background color is the same. So while it opens the page it might not be running the script?
or, I'm not putting the JS in the right area of the html code. Right now I'm putting it after the first <head>.
Is java script my only option? a friend mentioned using css, but I have nothing to go off of as to how to make that work.
my website has a flash menu that is a little bit annoying to see reloading everytime people hit a button. So i would like to set the buttons action to send a javascript variable or something like that. This way the html content, above the flash could change with a javascript include which would use this variable to know what page should be included... something like that. I don't know how to do this (flash to javascript and the use the variable to include a page content)

I am new to flash and decided to start out using templates to gain a beter understanding. I grabbed a template - that when I went to save it said it was an MX version - once I began to make changes in it re-save and publish it I noticed that some of the elements were missing. I thought it was something I did so I copied the entire directory and just opened the .fla and saved it without making a change and then published it and the items were gone again. I saved it in the same directory only changing the output .swf file and used all of the same html files
I 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):
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.
I'm looking for a way to change the color of the Pasteboard in Flash CS5 on a Mac.I'm talking about the Pasteboard (the blank area around the Stage).I found a shortcut that did it for CS3, but heard you can't do it in CS4 and CS5.I'm thinking surely that's a mistake because that would be absurd.
I am trying to change the background color in a flash 8 .exe file that seems to extract setup variables via an xml file. The xml file reads as follows:
I am new to Flash and was trying to start a website for my photography business. I have an up and running version of Flash Pro CS4 with all updates. I purchased a full flash template from [URL] hoping to just open the .fla file and go to work editing. No such luck. When I click on the main.fla file, all the components seem to load in the library, however in the timeline, I only show like 9 random layers. When I run the timeline, all I get is a bunch of lines, squares, etc running on and off the stage. When I click "publish" the layers and components run fine with all the default content. The template came in a ZIP file and after extracting, I get the usual files, .fla, .html, .XML, .SWA, etc. All the components seem to be in the .fla file. What am I missing? I know there should be more layers in the timeline, but I cant find them. My troubleshooting has been to confirm that the template is good with CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. I've tried different settings to include changing the pixel size, but nothing.
I have an action script 2.0 that I need to change to 3.0 and was wondering how to do that.Also wondering since I did this a number of years ago, I need to have my Tsunami menu updated to the latest Flash movie.
I am on mac and haven't upgraded my OS from 10.5 to 10.6 so when I upload a file creted in Flash CS5 it won't play because it needs the Latest flash player which uses 10.6 OS.So what I'm getting to is that can I go into "publish" settings and change the Flash player from 10.2 to an older version and then will this work.Also, which version should I change it to? For example sould I select Flash Player 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 10.1?
I'm creating sort of a game in Flash, which requires invisible hotspots changing their position in time, relative to the stage. The question is: can I simply keyframe the hotspot position and have it work, or is there something that I should consider?
Does anybody know how to embed an external HTML page into Flash? I am envisioning something like an iFrame, but can't really figure how this would work. I've attempted using a scrollpane, but it didn't work at all.
Possible Duplicate: Div Z-Index issue with Flash movie is there a way to have an external flash movie that I have iframed in from another server show up behind an overlay div? Currently when I open my overlay, the flash movie shows through it.
get this "simple" example to work? I eventually want to be able to pass a variable to Flash whenever a menu link is clicked, but for now I'm just trying to send a variable through a form button[URL]
I've seen a site a while back that as you went through it it would change the url without reloading the page/swf. I want to know how do you build a Flash banner and buttons and as they the movie plays or they click on buttons have it change the url and the html text but leave the swf playing? Can this be achieved without too much hassle or will it require advanced coding?
I have a website that I have to alter the <title> tag that shows up in the browser as the sites name through using Flash as3 and xml. I was wondering how to access the <title> tag so that I can create a variable in flash, that retrieves whatever string is within the <title> tag of the current xml document that is being accessed? All pages need to have the same title, so it doesn't need to be too complicated, I just need to be able to alter the tag through xml and as3.
is it possible to get <tables> from a external HTML file to load in flash? I've searched google like crazy and everywhere I see they say it can't load the tables from the external HTML file..
Is there maybe a way to cheat in this? or make something that will look the same?
