View 7 RepliesI have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.
View 1 Repliesbasically this code will work like a browser back button its very simple but "could end up very long" basically it will act "similiar to the browser back button"
Code:
on (release) {
if(page1 = _currentframe){
_root.gotoAndStop("quiz");
} else if (page0 = _currentframe){
[code]....
it works when the (page1 = _currentframe){ is rotated with the first if statement...because for somereason it seems to not recognise the "else if's"
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'm italian and I'm creating a CD to presentate a research to my teachers..this is probably a dumb question, but I need to make a 'back' button, similar to a back button on a browser. When people click the button, they get back to the previous scene (or frame: I didn't decide wether dviding the presentation's pages in scenes or frames) they came from.

View 6 Repliesve been looking for tutorials/examples of how the back button is used in flash and all i can find is the robbert penners way(loading frames), but like he's stating on his website, its too old(2001) and there are more better ways.nd what RP recommended. But like the most of the "tutorials" written on macromedia.com..ook at it and maybey explain it a lil better or maybey have a nice lil example of it.

View 5 RepliesI have an SWFAddress plugged to my flex application, and all works perfectly, instead of Browser's Back Button.
When user presses it, no event dispatched.
I am trying to use the BrowserChangeEvent.BROWSER_URL_CHANGE in my application to handle to user click of browser back and forward buttons. However, the event I receive does not contain information about which button (back or forward) was clicked. Is there are way to get this information?A related question: How do I get the URL that would be displayed when the user clicks the back or forward button in the browser? The lastURL contains the information about the current page.

View 9 RepliesI designed a website using tips from [URL]. It's a single .swf. Nothing complicated about the as3 script. Mostly gotoAndStop commands to jump around the timeline to the different sections of the site. My question is how to set up the site as individual swfs for each "page" so the back and forward buttons on an internet browser will function. I've seen samples of loading external swfs but it's not clear how to write scripts to jump around various pages for a website.
Here's the website: [URL]
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 RepliesIs it possible to make the flash content go back to some previous frame when the user clicks on the back button in the browser? Similarly, can the the refresh button be used to refresh to the same frame and not go back to the starting frame?
View 4 RepliesOur testing department found that my flash menu sometimes doesnt work after going back to a page by clicking Back button in browser (Firefox).
It happens rarely and randomly, yet still it happens.
i cant see any pattern in its behavior and any reason in it.

i've tested this in every way i could think of,
it gets ROLL_OVER event, but not CLICK event.
ive also tested it with hasEventListener and it always has. its just not triggering function.
BUT clicking anywhere on page outside flash makes it work again.
Question: whose fault is this? Flash? Drupal? Firefox? God?
UPDATE: it looks like its caused by <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>.
Firefox seem to have problem with that.

I have trailed through endless forums and tried adding all the various codes.I have a movie that is embedded within a php page. The movie starts with an animation and at the end, an image emerges with buttons. The image that emerges is actually an xml run slideshow but I don't want to complicate it with this bit of information if it is not relevant. So the film stops there and the buttons remain with a changing background.
I would like to make it skip to the end frame if it has been played before, if someone returns to the page, so that the user doesn't have to watch the entire movie to get to the buttons.I have tried adding this to the first scene however it is pretty temperamental:
var myCookie:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("checkFirstVisit");
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
// Flash Cookie[code].....
I took an object and converted it into a button symbol. I want to be able to disable and enable the button in different situations. I used the action script code "myButton.enabled=true;" and "myButton.enabled=false;" but these don't seem to work. Is it possible to access this property of a button I made? if not is there any way to change the button in the user interface components? if not is there any other way to disable or enable the buttons i made?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a pblm. when it comes to enabling a button(s) on/off I have a file; that with Adam14 and Scotty's help, I have working the way I want (swaping _X/_Y values), but when the button is cliked I want to disable it, untill another button is clicked... then enable it, and so on.
I thought of setting _global flags inside the buttons but then you actually have to click them twice to trigger the flags???? so then I took those flags out of the buttons and put them onto a container movieclip that looks something like this:

View 2 RepliesI've been creating my first complex buttons and there're some details I haven't solved yet. How do I disable a button after being clicked and how do I re-enable it after clicking another button? I've come across this "removeEventListener" and tried it but I can't seem to work it out...
Here's my code so far:
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
aempresa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,btnOut);

I have a list with a dataprovider, it lists out buttons encapsulated in an item renderer. All I want it to do is have a skin that it changes to when it is clicked. I can get this to happen, but then it just goes back to its up state. I want it to stick on the down state, which I have to do by disabling the button.
So I tried this:
buttonList.selectedItem.enabled = false;
for(var i:Number = 0; i< buttonList.numChildren; i++)

how to load an external swf into my main timeline. As far as I understand this main timeline is the "parent". Hence the loaded, external swf should be the "child" (a quiz).Now the child (a quiz) loads into the flash file and is played properly, but I cannot access the button on the parent anymore. Unfortunately, I really need the home button on the parent to exit the quiz and allow for new navigation within the flash document.
my AS3 Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;function onClick611 (event:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndPlay("home_einf")}home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick611);
import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
[code]....
[URL] once it loads, if you click any of the links (keyholders crab button, travel button, or opportunity button), and proceed to the page, and then click "back" on the browser, the flash does not reload, or "replay". The only way to get it to replay is to right click the flash player, and click "play".
PS.. This was made using adobe flash cs4 and AS3
How can I programmatically click the browser's Back button from within my Flex application. I'm using deep linking to allow the user to navigate back/forth inside my application. I want this to work when BACKSPACE is clicked inside the application as well, but Flex captures BACKSPACE and the browser doesn't get the event. I don't want to implement browsing history myself within the application, naturally. Can I send BACKSPACE to the containing browser?
