IDE :: Annoying Blink Between Html Pages As Swf Loads

Sep 16, 2008

So I'm making a Flash site that needs to have different swfs on a bunch of different html pages for easy linking purposes. The problem: Even though the swfs are small, as you navigate between pages there is what looks like a white flash just before the swf shows up. I know this is the background of the html page as the swf is loading. Is there any way to load the page in a certain way to avoid this? Would a preloader help? Here's an example of the site:

ActionScript 2.0 :: HTML Loads A Preloader That Then Loads The Actual Flash Movie?

Mar 28, 2009

Everything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:

on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}

The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Site That Loads External .swfs As Pages?

Jan 28, 2009

I'm creating a site that loads external .swfs as pages. I have little understanding of how Loaders and instance names work with AS3 (even after reading the documentation), so I'm having some difficulties.

I'm loading the .swfs in a movie clip named "container." I want to replace the contents of "container" with the web page .swf that the user chooses, but I don't know how to write the condition to:
a) check to see if something is already inside "container"b) remove the contents by instance name or method of MovieClip. I'd prefer to remove whatever is inside of "container" rather than switching cases for different instances.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loads Choice Of 7 Different Web Pages / SWFs Depending On Buttons Clicked

Jul 9, 2009

I've got an SWF that'll be viewed via a webpage, that loads a choice of 7 different web pages/SWFs depending on buttons clicked.The problem is these files are quite big and take a good few seconds to load each, so for each SWF, I created a progress bar on frame 1, that then loads frame 2 (where all the code and content is) once it's ready. The code I used is as follows:[code]The problem is as you can see from is that it takes ages to load the loader! So I end up with a blankurl... screen then the loading bar, then the content.

I have created a twitter API in flash using ActionScript 3.0 which loads the latest feeds from a user by using the screen name of the twitter user. When I test the swf locally it works fine. But the problem comes when I embed the swf in html page.The swf loads but does not show the content where it needs to access the TWITTER url to load the feeds.It doesn't load the feeds. It asks for the global settings to be changed.So, I have changed the settings and played the html page.I works fine.My question is when I will upload the files to a server the same problem will come and it will not load the feeds.

ActionScript 3.0 :: External .swf Not Loading On HTML Pages?

May 31, 2011

I'm having trouble and I was hoping someone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong. I have a main .swf file from which external .swf files are being loaded through the use of buttons.When I preview the animation, everything works just fine. The problem occurs when I put the animation on the website where it needs to be. The main animation appears like it's supposed to, but the buttons are not successful in loading the external .swf files. I've made sure that all .swf files are on the server but still nothing.
 
Here's the AS:
 
stop();
var presentationLoader:Loader = new Loader();

ActionScript 2.0 :: Local Connection Across HTML Pages?

Oct 9, 2006

I have three swf's using local connection to communicate. Basically a top and bottom navigation communicating with a main module. All this works fine and looks a little like this:

Top_Nav:
[AS]
Actions.LINKFunction = function(){
outgoing_lc = new LocalConnection();

[code]....

As I mentioned this all works fine. Where I am having trouble is that there is one link that takes the user to an eCommerce area of the site that lacks the main module. It only has the top and bottom navigation. So the navigation is basically broken once the user heads to this area. By putting a getURL into the top nav function I can easily get back to index.html, but I can't figure out how to send the functions once the page has loaded. Basically looking for a way for the functions to execute after the new html page has loaded. So the user hit's the LINK button, the page index.html is loaded along with the three swf's and instead on the default movie's loading in the main-module, the functions in the main module corresponding to LINK are run.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Once Again About Flash Navigation On HTML Pages

Feb 28, 2008

I'm trying to create a site with HTML pages and Flash based navigation, which basically means that the site content itself is standard in HTML/CSS format, but the main menu bar with the buttons and all is an SWF file. Needless to say, each lit-up button on the menu bar has to dim out on release and take to the corresponding page, e.g. clicking the 'Contact Us' button would cause it to dim out (as if unavailable) and open the 'Contact Us' page. Clicking a different button afterwards, would re-light the previous button and dim-out the newly clicked button and take to the page that corresponds to the newly clicked button, etc, you get the idea. There are 4 buttons for 4 pages.
Anyway, so far I've tried two methods which have failed:

Method A.
I exported four duplicate SWFs from the same FLA, with the only difference being the one unique button dimmed out and the other three lit up (a total of 4 combinations). Then, I put a different SWF on each page. This, the 'Contact Us' page would have the copy of the SWF with the 'Contact Us' button already dimmed out; the 'Home' page would have the one with the 'Home' button dimmed out, and so on. The obvious problem with this approach is that an SWF needs to load over again every time the page changes, which results in a brief, but, nonetheless, annoying enough blink. I hoped to combat this latency issue by loading all bitmap elements in the flash files externally, as opposed importing them to the library. I assumed that since all SWF copies accessed the exact same bitmaps from the exact same location, they would be cached in the memory somehow and not need to be loaded every time, so there'd be no latency. Then again, I was two days younger. This method failed. As Eric Bogosian's character said in the movie Under Siege 2, "Assumption is the mother of all" (you-know-what-ups).

Method B.
At a couple of other message boards, I was suggested another technique, which would require only one single SWF. A guy gave me a tiny peace of Java Script that would use a variable to inform flash about which page is called so it would know which button in the menu bar to dim out. Although this technique rid me of the necessity to use multiple SWFs, it didn't fix the nasty blinking problem AT ALL!!!

Method C.
I was also advised to "put info in a div and generate server requests to bring the appropriate info up". "You need to use ASP or PHP or some other server language" he said. Well, ASP is absolutely out for me, so I won't even consider it. As for PHP, unless there exits a very simple and straight-forward tutorial with source files, which I could very easily figure out, modify, and implement for my needs, I can't get into it because since I don't know PHP, it takes me a really long time to learn how to do a simple thing with it, which is something I can't afford right now with my deadline and all.

Method D.
I basically want to put the page contents into an iFrame window. Even all drawbacks of using iFrames considered, I still thing this is the optimal way for me. So here's where I currently am on this:I learned how to change the iFrame content using a function. Here's a simple test example, and here are the HTML and JavaScript codes for that example:[code]What I need now is to be able to call that JavaScript function and pass it the URL argument using action script instead.

I have continued to find a resolution and have had no luck. My website has 5 flash buttons (tabs) to take you to a new html page. Each time you go to a page the button seems to have to re-load creating a "white blinking" inside the cell. The background of the fla file is black and I have the table cell background set to black hoping thatbut to no avail. I thought once a swf is loaded it won't have to re-load. The swf files are the same on all pages

Php :: Show HTML Pages Instead Of Flash To Search Engines?

Mar 28, 2011

Let's say I have a plain HTML website. More than 80% of my visitors are usually from search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. What I want to do is to make my whole website in Flash.However, search engines can't read information from Flash or JavaScript. That means my web page would lose more than half of the visitors.So how do I show show HTML pages instead of Flash to the search engines?

Note: you could reach a specific page/category/etc in Flash by using PHP GET function, for example: you can surf trough all the web pages from the homepage and link to a specific web page by typing page?id=1234.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load In Complete Html Pages With LoadVars?

Sep 9, 2004

Is there any workaround to load in complete html pages with LoadVars ?

I have this client that wants to update some pages (just adding and removing text and pictures), but I would love to do it in action scripting and have him update an external file.

Now I could tell him to remove the tags from <html> to <body> and from </body> to </html>, save it as text file and add a variable (like myText at the top of his file, but that wouldn't make things much easier for him.

He'll probably start to complain that it would have been easier if I'd made it in html instead of flash

how to display an html page inside of flash ? (except for opening browser windows and loading the page in that window ofcourse - that isn't good enough)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Xml In HTML Pages From Aspx Proxies?

Aug 20, 2007

While this worked, I need the path to the proxy page to be relative to the html page, so that when it's on the site, it can still reach the proxy page.

The code looked like this when it worked:

var localProxyPageUrl:String = "http://machinename/sitename/proxypage.aspx";
var proxyPage:XML = new XML();
proxyPage.ignoreWhite = true;

PS: Forgot to mention that I tried even putting the absolute url in the 2nd version to the proxy page, to no avail... <sigh>

PPS: The proxy page is in the same folder as the swf & html page...
