I have a Flex application which uses the BrowserManager class for enabling deep linking within the application. The URLs work fine through all browsers but the back/forward buttons work only with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Even that is a bit flaky and sometimes doesn't work. The buttons don't work in Chrome/Safari or any other browser. How to make this work properly?
View 2 RepliesAnyways I am using action script 3.0 and I created multiple layers using just one scene. I created a layer with lables on them to mark where I want my buttons to point to and go to. I have the stop (); on the first frame. And I made my buttons mostly interactive with movie symbols and tweens.My first scene I have 2 doors, the user can pick which door to go to and it takes them into a different path.I made the buttons that are clicked to go forward, and then I tried to make an invisible button on the button edge of the scene to go backwards However, the PROBLEM is when I click my button to go backwards I am stuck on the first page and can't move forward.
function gotoOne(evt:Event):void{ gotoAndStop("one")}backbutton1.addEventListener("click",gotoOne);
function gotoFour(evt:Event):void{

how to enable the forward and back buttons in internet explorer for a 100% flash site? Looking for a tutorial which only uses actionscript if that's possible... found a few on google but they use javascript (in seemingly complex ways, and I dont know javaScript)... also named anchors arrent an option either because they dont truely take you "back," they only go to the prior named anchor on the timeline.. And, they only work on the root timeline.

View 1 RepliesI need to know how to use the Back/Foward buttons with IE. I have a movie that has several frames. Each frame is a section of the page.If you go to a different section of the page, I want to be able to use the back button to go back to the previous section you were at.

View 5 RepliesI've got a situation where .swfs are loaded by buttons from another .swf to a higher level.each button loads its own external movie. What I would like to know is how to load these external .swfs in succession, either forward or backwards, with forward and back buttons, as well as keeping the specific buttons in effectI guess it would be kinda like the way you search through the forums. You can either click the number that corresponds to the next page, like "2" for example, or you can click the forward button that looks like ">". Same for the back situation. So it would look something like this: "<12345>". You could either click the ">" button to move all the way to 5, or click each number separately
View 1 RepliesLately I have been seeing flash based sites that will work with your browser back and forwards buttons. I have also noticed on some sites that if you right click on the .swf they can have links to parts on the site in that as well.
View 2 RepliesI don't want to have to load a flash site in another browser window.
But I find myself and clients quickly clicking the back button to get out of different sections in the flash movie. But when they hit back they find themselves out of the entire site.
I'm creating a video player that is linked with XML. Everything seems to work fine with no errors in the compiler, but my foward_btn and back_btn don't seem to do anything. It shows the trace "foward button" and "back button" but does not move to the next or previous video.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.video.*;
import flash.events.*;

Instead of using a created back button, how do I put the script on the back and forward button on IE Netscape browser buttons?
View 5 RepliesI have SWFAddress going for the most part, but the browser's back and forward buttons aren't working properly. When I use the back and forward buttons, it successfully changes the URL but it seems the SWFAddressEvent.Change is not being fired in Flash. Everything I click within the .swf relies on this event and works great, but the browser buttons still won't.
View 9 RepliesI am brand new to scripting in Flash, and was hoping I could get some help on a question. I have an animation that is 300 frames long. The first 100 frames are an animated 'ad' (for lack of a better term), the second 100 frames are a different ad, and the third 100 frames are the last ad. This can be viewed straight from beginning to end (and is intended to loop if no action is taken), but I would also like to add some functionality to the animation, so that people can jump forward to the next ad, or back to the previous ad (hitting back from the first ad would take them to the third ad, and vice versa.)
[Code]...
This does not turn up any errors when I test the movie, but the functionality does not work. Am I anywhere near a working script, or am I attempting this in a completely wrong way?
I am doing a slideshow in Flash. With AS 2, I would create frame labels for each slide with a stop action on each one in the timeline and a button underneath the background with the following script:
on (keyPress "<Right>") {
gotoAndPlay("2");
}
The keyboard right arrow (and left arrow) would move the slideshow forward and backward. I had another button for backward.I'm doing one in AS 3 now (dictated to me) and this script isn't working.
I have been working on a tutorial in Flash on the topic of Flash () for two days, and I am just finishing up on a template. I have fixed five bugs, but I cannot think of how to fix this last one. I'd rather actually fix the problem this time, instead of improvising . So, here is what is going on:
I have this thing at the end where you have to enter in the code that I taught the viewer to proceed, then hit the continue button to finish the tutorial. But for some reason, whenever I try to go back with the back arrow, it does, but then I can't go forward with the forward arrow until I reach the first frame that contains actual tutorial ("page" 2). Then it works again. It seems really random, but there is [obviously] a good explanation for it. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that all of the arrows up to the "test" part, excluding the back arrow there, have the exact same instance name. However, "page" 2 is the 2nd time it is used (introduction, then the "page" 2, then 3, 4, 5, and 6, then the test part thing), so it makes less sense that it would work the 2nd time, but not the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth. And I know there's nothing wrong with the code itself:

If you try navigate around, the url window will change to etc etc and the back and forword button seem to be working also, if you copy and paste the link, the flash will be smart enough to go to the indivual page alsoMy question is s below1) how do we make the back & forward button to work2) how do we contruct the url to be so dynamic

I would like to let a MovieClip to move from lets say _x 200 to _x 800. When the mc reach the _x 800 it should return to _ 200 and visa versa. I like to do this with AS instead of with motion tween.
View 2 RepliesProblem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

I have a forward and back button that load several images in a sub-folder that load to a UIloader.
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
function nextImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{

The function at the end needs to allow a person to go back in the data. I can go forward,but I cannot go back.
stop();var nameArray:Array = new Array();var countryArray:Array = new Array();var portraitArray:Array = new Array();var flagArray:Array = new Array();var jobtitleArray:Array = new Array();var contactArray:Array = new Array();

I looked at the tutorial on gotoandlearn about it, and understood the concept, but it's in as3, and I'm trying to do this in as2.I have it so that the url changes, and the title changes. And when you click on the various buttons on my site..it registers in the browser..but the main purpose I can't get, namely, if someone clicks my about button, i want to trigger the about function.That is easy enough to do in flash, but how can I get it to trigger from the back or forward button. Or if someone goes to URL...I am not getting the key ingredient to make this happen. If I paste in URL...how is it to know to launch the about function?

I'm working off the XML photo gallery tute found here: xml_flash_photogallery.htm. My wish is to have the array loop forward and backwards, so by clicking next you will eventually get back to the first value, and if you keep clicking previous you will eventually see the last value in the array.
I found some Scotty code (first line in the nextImage function) that enabled this function with the next button, but I can't figure out how to use it for the previous button.Here's the code:
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};[code]....

View 2 Repliescreating a flip-book in flash (using AS3) . I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).
