Here are two examples I did the shadowbox and someone else did the thickbox sorry i forgot source - if it is yours please let me know and I will acknowledge From my experience on using both of them, i found that a shadowbox is a much better option.
Shadowbox uses javascript to hide the swf object when shadowbox is open - can display flash movies in shadowbox itself. Thickbox relies on wmode = 'transparent' to show the thickbox on top of the flash - very crude solution which slows your framerate down alot and doesnt work in all browsers.
I run an external script from flash(as3) that opens up an Jquerry thickbox with php tabel (it gets results from mysql db). But when i include some other css for centering my .swf in the middle(both x/y), my jquerry buttons in flash stop working.this is the css code:
div.ex { height:600px; width:930px;[code].....
and the webpage: [url].....(php/mysql in jquerry not yet included, but i tested before)
I am a n00b and was wondering if there was way to trigger the popularly useful thickbox (javascript to display a lightbox-style HTML page) from a link embedded in a Flash movie? I have a website that is all Flash and want to display thickbox formatted HTML content from a text hyperlink in the movie using actionscript.
Here's an example of how the hyperlink is formatted in HTML:
im developing a web page flash-based and i want to call a gallery from a shadowbox. This is what i want:i want to click in a button and then open a shadowbox with my photo gallery. How can i do this? which is the code that i have to use in the button?
I'm trying to incorporate shadowbox into my flash. I'm very confused with the shadowbox flash instruction from their website, but this is what I have so far.I imported flash.net and created a button as follows
ActionScript Code: mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mybtnClick); function mybtnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
I placed the downloaded shadowbox folder onto my server along with the example.swf, but when I click the button on the site, nothing happens!
After working for a prolonged time on a programming problem, I start to get coding tunnel vision. It makes it harder to draw back and look at the problem from farther away. Hence my question: I am using a Drupal 6 site. When a menu option is clicked, the page opens and a Flash SWF file needs to played in a ThickBox. After 8 seconds, that Thickbox closes.
Opening the SWF file in the Thickbox when a link is clicked is no problem, just like closing the Thickbox afterwards; that's basic javascript. For that I use these:
[Code]...
But opening the Thickbox on load? I can add a link for the user to click, but it should open automatically. I figured out the PHP to have it only open on one specific page. From the Thickbox manual, I learned to open links to images - but not how to open it when the page loads.
I've been through the forum postings and have tried a few suggestions but I can't seem to find the answer to this: I'm trying to open a Quicktime movie from Flash in Shadowbox. I've searched at the ShadowBox forum, but no help. Hopefully one of you gurus can clue me in or thump me in the head one of the two.In a nutshell:I can launch the shadowbox from the flash button but a few things aren't clicking:
1. The quicktime movie is 640x360 and it only opens in a little window and shrinks the movie to fit. 2. The flash in the background disappears and goes black.
I've stripped a test down to make it as basic as possible.[code]
I'm using shadowbox and I am trying to load my video that has a custom skin. But for some reason it can't find my custom flash player. When I don't use shadowbox I can view the video and the skin shows up.
I want to have my overlay adjust in size depending on how much content is being shown in the flash movie. Also, I want it to resize in real time when the user adjusts the content.
First of all I've only registered recently but read a lot of the pages on this forum. It's great!I've been working with the xml gallery with thumbs to get to a cool flash gallery. A lot worked out for me and I think I came very far. There's just one thing. I want a popup in it. BUT, not just a regular popup; i figured that out as well. I would like a popup in "Thickbox" style. Don't know if you know it.
With Thickbox [URL] you can open a new window with content that seems to float.I've been trying to get this working with my Flash gallery. Normally you just add a class=thickbox attribute to the link, but in this case it's in actionscript. And that;s the prob. I can't seem to get this to work.
I'm working on a script that is about finished but I've reached a snag.I'm creating a gallery page, similar to Thickbox or Lightbox.I have thumbnails off to the left and a UILoader on the right.When you click a thumbnail, the image loads on the left.What I'm working on now is that if you hover over the right side of the image you get a NextBtn and on the left you'd get a PrevBtn.The buttons are created and tween in on MOUSE_OVER like they are supposed to. The problem that I'm having is once you MOUSE_DOWN and the next image loads (also working properly) the Tween that is on the Prev/ NextBtns resets to the OUT position until you mouse outside the rollover than back in.Is there any way to make the Tween stay IN until the mouse moves out?[code]
Iam trying to when i click a button on my flash website it opens a shadowbox with a youtube video. I foollowed all instructions in the shadowbox website but i can't get it to work. In my html between the head tags i had the following
I'm trying to link a button to open shadowbox. I keep getting an 1120 Error "Access of undefined property button". My code is as follows: button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myWork); function myWork2(event:MouseEvent):void { ExternalInterface.call("Gallery"); } Where I put the images I want to use in my shadowbox? Currently I've copied all the files that came with shadowbox into my root folder. I'm not sure where else to go from there. I'm rather new to flash.
Following the official Shadowbox usage instructions, I appended just a few lines of CSS/JS:
[Code]....
And yet, when I click on my thumbnail, it does not generate a Shadowbox overlay. Instead, my browser follows an ordinary link to the animation. I've also tried Lightbox, Greybox, and Lightbox2, working at this problem for about twelve hours. My understanding of Javascript objects and classes is very limited. Web Development is not my career path.
what the proper syntax is for passing flashvars thru Shadowbox to the JWPlayer (wanting to reskin it).
I have no problem doing this in conjunction with swfObject or via an embed.
Unfortuanitly my posts on the Shadowbox forums have gone unanswered. Their docs discuss this only in principle - no details provided for this specific need.
There are multiple posts on their forums and the developer mentions the ability to do this but provides no practical example showing how it's done with multiple variables and multiple parameters.
If using js to embed it would look like:
Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var s1 = new SWFObject("/scripts/shadowbox-build-3.0b/libraries/mediaplayer/player.swf","ply", "580","326", "9","#F3F3F3"); s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
I have a flash project, its working fine in local system, but the same file is not working in live here is the link of the site, its showing blank page, the flash contents are not loading... [URL]
I have a flash project, its working fine in local system and checked this file with uploading in someother websites, its working fine there too, but the same file is not working in live here is the link of the site, its showing blank page, the flash contents are not loading.URL...and here the same file which i have uploaded it in other server its working fine.URL...
I have developed a player in AS3. It is working if i provide the IP of the website. But, it is not working when i provide the full domain name. Even, i provide the crossdomain.xml for global access.
i have a "swf" file which is picking url from xml & displaying the image, when i tested it locally it works fine, which means it picks up URL from XML & displaying corresponding image. After i uploaded it on server, it doesn't show anything.
I created a 9-scalled background in Flash CS5 which is working fine in Flash CS5.But when i imported it as embeded graphic in Flex, and change dimensions in runtime, 9-scalling doesnt work.Here is my code.
I have a weird problem,Flash banner is working "clickable" if the page url have preceding "www" and not working if not,So the if the URL in the address bar was [url]... the banner will be clickable and will redirect you to the link embedded in it, if the URL was [url]... the flash banner will not be working.
The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.
I had a button when clicked, it would replace a different moviclip.This worked until I made the bulk of the code into a function and moved it to the layer, and then tried to call the function from the previously mentioned button. It generates no errors, but it stopped working.Hierarchy:Layer 1 > U1 > image
Original button script: on (release) { var theDepth:Number = _parent.U1.image.getDepth(); _parent.U1.attachMovie("K3E", "image", theDepth);
I am creating a website that has links to flash animations. i have created a folder called flash in the root folder and copied the relevant .fla, .swf and the .mp3 files into that folder. the animations are working fine but the audio isnt.it all works fine in flash itself.
am using bitmapdata to make me a nice lil' background image, and it works great...until it's resized. Whats happening is it's creating a new bgHolder clip on the resize, NOT resizing the current empty clip "bgHolder"Here's the code(taken from various posts)
