View 1 Repliesi'm attempting to resolve a problem with targeting. i would like to target multiple iframes from a link that has been pulled into a flash document. basically, the link needs to load a title and an mov file. the mov file has to be loaded into an iframe, but the title could be loaded into another dynamic text field.. i'm using a text file that is loaded into a dynamic text field. the link within the text file currently looks like this:
<a href="video/AlzyGramp.mov" target="videowindow" onClick="parent.titles.location.href = 'alzy.html'; return true;">Alzy Gramps</a>
but it doesn't work. is there a problem with flash htmltext reading javascript? i even installed the flashjavascript gateway.

Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...

I'm having a little trouble using URL links in text. If I select a part of the text and give it a URL link (I'm using mailto: links here), strange things are happening to all the text in that text box at runtime in some cases the leading changes, other times some or all of the text disappears. But it only happens at runtime, so I have no way of knowing if or how to compensate. And simply removing the offending link or linked text doesn't fix the problem once the link has been created the only way to fix it is to create a new text box with no links.

View 2 RepliesHow can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?

Is there a way to add a link/URL to a .swf file, without embedding into the original .fla file?Is there any way to do that with just the .swf file alone, and without actually editing the .fla or re-creating it?
View 5 RepliesOk, this should be easy, I've done it before, but the code was in a different setup/format.
All I'm trying to do is have a text box display a link and then click on the link to go to the site.
Now, everything is working as far as display, but when I try to pass the targeted (clicked) link to navigateToURL, it is null.
Here is the partial loader code:
Code:
//format video description txt
var vidDescFont:Font = new VidDescFont();
var vdf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
vdf.font = vidDescFont.fontName;

I play around with templates and try to change them. A friend of mine has this banner and I am stumped on it. All it is, is making text into links. I have never had a problem with that before. I have CS4 but save the file as CS3. Because that is what he has. What my problem is the text at the upper right. Where there is 3 lines of text. I have been trying to add a link to each one and it is not working. In the actions script, this is what is says. I know I need to put the get(url) in there but everytime I do it, it is not correct. I am a n00b, I admit it.[URL]
