IDE :: [CS3] Width 100% In Html Page With Embedded Swf
Jan 16, 2009
I am creating a Flash project for a fundraising event and tend to test it every now and again. It is an accordion menu. It is going on a html page. I want the height to be relative to the width and the width to equal 100% of the browser window. When I set the html publish settings, I set it to 100% width & height. Then I embedded a swf using the loadmovie() method. I published it again. Everything seemed to be working OK but when my menu loads with the embedded swf, it goes back to normal size (actual size of project - 450x230).
Let me ask how to program an html page to move to a new web page on user's clicking an item of an embedded flash movie? But , in detail, I actually want to do a little different thing. I want that the parent html page remains there ,instead I want a child html frame has a new page after user's clicking the list item of the embedded flash movie.
I am trying to make a movie swf to load different .swf files but pressing html links in the same page it's embeded. What I got is that links are passing good a variable called 'video' to swf... Using a jscript in html page, and html links as follows:
<script language = "JavaScript"> <!-- function PassFlash(){ window.document.movie.SetVariable("video", "video.swf"); } //--> </script> <a href="#" onClick="PassFlash()">Load this video into flash please!</a>
But I think I didn't build the actionscript correctly.. I can't find the way to make the movie to load a determinated .swf using that variable...If I put a loadMovie (video, "mclipholder") and a stop (); in a frame the variable is not useful because the movie doesn't load. If I add a gotoAndPlay (1) for making the movie loop, the swf loads again and again...I want the main movie to be able to recognize when an html link is pressed (and passes the variable called 'video') and then to load the correct movie....
I can put 10000 x 20000 image in flash overlapping the stage, only part of the image which cover the stage will appear.I want to achieve similar effect in HTML.I have an image 600 x 3000 and my browser body width is like 1280px.I want only 1280px width of the image to appear on the HTML page and the rest of the image will be hidden.
I developed a flex website, the web explorer always caches swf file which embedded in HTML. Sometimes I make changes to the flex file, clients computer still view the previous version which stored in cache. How can I force client's web explorer to reload/refresh the swf file?
I know there are ways to invoke javascript inside the html wrapper template for the flex application using ExternalInterface, but is it possible to reference an external html page?
i'm a newbie in Flex/Air. I'm developing an AIR web browser and i want to use a virtual keyboard to write in the HTML pages.it works well when i try to write in a text area, but i don't know how to write in the html page.EXAMPLE:To write in textarea, i just have to call this:textarea.text = event.keyLabel;
If I have a flex swc emebbed in my html page, and the flex swc contains an flex 4 videoDisplay player, which has an option for fullscreen. How do I make the fullscreen work. Because when I click on fullscreen button for the videaDisplay, I get an error: [code]Connect with the people you need to get the job done.

I am trying to create a "universal" swf that can be embedded in an html page and take input from an xml file. Yet the name of the xml file will not be coded into the swf which would allow xml files of various names to be used.
I'm trying to use as3's loader function thing to load images into a movieclip in my swf.
Sounds simple enough right.
The thing works pretty well by its self. but when embed the thing is embedded an html page, the swf loads up and works fine, but the images don't seem to load, and I can't understand why.
Thought maybe its some sort of navigational issue, well, the swf works fine on it's own in a web browser, even when checked on a web host. The images just don't load up when the swf is loaded up in a web page, its a little wierd, not sure what to make of it.
I made a flash mp3 player and it works fine in any other test pages. but when i embed it onto my site it just shows blank. what do i do? my site is [URL] and the flash player i tested here [URL] and it plays. What im i doing wrong? i tryed everything. right now i just got it in a iframe but i dont want that iframe.
when I layer an swf over html, with all the good stuff in place (wmode = transparent, z-index), I can't access the html elements in Firefox/Chrome/Safari. Here's a link to a test [URL] This is a stripped down version; I've also tried using swfobject.
I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?
I have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution? one?
I want to build function on my site where I click on the link, and a new page (background opacity maybe at like 50%) - which consists of a video in the center and a link or two - floats on top of the already existing html page. I've seen this done a few times and I think it's a really cool function.
I've been trying to recreate the effect on this page [URL] change the height of the page and notice how it's content moves.
how you make a .swf placed onto a html page be as wide as the page, and let the flash file know how wide it is being displayed so the content does not stretch out
I have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:
I 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()
when you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"
I would like to ask when swf object rendering at the html page? Is it rendered only it's visible? If swf at the page bottom that is not visible, will swf be rendered when I scroll down? The problem is that swf object raises some events when it's rendered and I would like to force rendering even if swf object is not visible.
I am trying to create an ad for a website. When someone clicks on the ad, it is supposed to redirect them to a website, and register the click with google analytics.I have done this with the following script:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface; movieClip_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick); function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
I've developed a widget that gets embedded in multiple different websites/domains. For tracking purposes i'd like to know where they are.LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).url and loaderUrl only give me the url of the swf but that is hosted on my site, is there a way without using Externalinterface (as myspace blocks it) to get this info?
I've built a SWF with the top layer being an invisible button. As a test, I simply uploaded the file to the server and clicked it. Here is the URL where the file is located: [URL] When clicked anywhere, it should take you here: [URL] and it does. I sent the SWF to a third party vendor who have placed the masthead at the top of a page: [URL] which its on their server. When you mouse over the image, it appears clickable, but if you click it, no action takes place. It's the exact same file. Why is it working from one place, but not the other?
I was wondering if it is possible to for flash to get the url of the web page that the flash movie is embedded on. I'd like to do this if possible without using javascript.
When creating my flash file, i load swf files into loaders on my stage. When testing it, it works fine, but when publishing it to the web, it dosn't show the embedded swf's?
I decided to try and build a site with AS3 and am regretting it. What used to be simple in AS2 confounds me in AS3. I have an embedded .flv on a page and when I navigate to another page, the video continues to play and in fact will duplicate and triplicate etc. if I go back and forth between pages. What is the code to shut the video off when I navigate to new
