I am making a flash site and am trying to have a link which redirects to another site. The problem is the redirect address has an e with the accent ' above it. When I copy the link directly into flash, it converts it to code in the URL bar.How do I make the link in flash so that it keeps it as an accented letter in the URL bar?
View 2 RepliesI am working on an archive that contains a large number of flv and swf videos. The plan is to make this archive available to my site visitors to be able to go back and look at some of the old flash videos. Simple enough. The problem is that most of these videos have a redirect at the end which will send you to a website that no longer exists and I do not have the original fla's to work with. These files are pretty old. So, what I'm looking for is a way to prevent these redirects and keep my visitors on my site.

View 1 RepliesI am creating a flash site and am trying to make it SEO. I'm thinking a possible solution would be to render html to any search engine bot, or to anyone who needs accessibility, and rendering the flash site for the rest of the users.First question is, is this acceptable for google, and SEO in general?This would mean I would redirect urls to flash users from only if they weren't a bot of some sort.Second question is, is it possible to do this in javascript or rails?I would do this by capturing the URL, checking to see who the user is (is it google, or is it a human), I'm just not sure how to do this with javascript/rails, whatever need be. Then once I found "hey this is google", I would return the html page; if it was a user, I'd return flash.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to link to a spacific "page" within a flash site much like you can do with a html web site? I want to be able to link to a spacific swf page within my site without going through the entire site to get to the "page" how do I do this using actionscript 2.0
View 2 RepliesI have a flash app that uses the FileReference download method to serve up download links. Many of the links come from big content delviry networks and a crossdomain policy file is required to avoid a security error. This all works fine. Except for redirects in IE... in FF redirects work.
A typical Charles log in FF looks like this....
Code:
1) 302: download file temporarily moved
2) 302: download file found
3) 200: download file received OK
[Code].....
....the request for the crossdomain policy file is not being made in IE & thus flash blocks access to the download (client closed connection). The flash throws the traditional 2048 security error - which is what I'd expect if no crossdomain is available. It's worth noting that downloads without a redirect work fine in IE, the crossdomain is requested & received.
As far as I can make out there is no way to force "checkPolicyFile" with FileReference - it doesn't take a LoaderContext object. I'm at a loss of what I can do to resolve this without putting a proxy on our webserver (the backend guru will not allow this as the downloads can be quite large & he thinks will end up being a huge bottleneck).
I am trying to link some text to an external web site. I am using the following code, but whenever I try to launch the external web site, I get prompted by Adobe Flash Player Security saying that it has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. It then tells me that I need to change my security settings in order to view the website. I am wondering if there is any way around stopping the security check, or is this built into Flash?
Code:
var linkLaunch:URLRequest = new URLRequest('content/web/fuel/project/home.html');

I have created a flash sit in flash pro. On one of my pages i have a bunch of thumbnails that i want to be able to scroll through and click on and have it open another browser window to an html page I have created.I have placed all the button individually in a motion clip, so I can fade them onto the page when I go to it, and I then have selected all the buttons and changed them to motion clips so I can scroll them.
I created an action file and placed it in its own layer in the first motion clip that all the buttons are on.I am getting access of undefined property errors on all the buttons when I debug.Below is what I have written, I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I am new to this.

View 3 RepliesWe are working on a plugin for the JWPlayer and I noticed that in Chrome specifically, we are running into issues with the 302 redirect urls that we're using. The JWPlayer is not recognizing the redirect which contains url-based flashvars which we need. So here's my question(s):
1) Is there a way using AS3 to get the response headers from a url when NOT using AIR?
2) Is there any known issues with Chrome and 302 redirects that might be enough to trip up Flash?
3) What is the best method to handle a 302 redirect? The current issue is that there is a queue'd process and none of the other steps can continue without the first one and if the first one fails because it didn't get the proper flashvars, then the whole thing fails.
I'm trying to make a link from one flash site to another, but not just to the home page of it, but to a specific part of it.

I don't know much about Flash so understanding how to implement a preloader for my entire site is just a bit beyond me. Basically, I just want a loading bar, "loading" text, and the percentage text (this should all be in AS3). I know that in Flash CS5, a preloader bar is included as one of the components. The only problem is that I don't know what to do with it (and it shows up as blue and white so not sure how to change the colour).
View 2 Repliesl basically completed my entire site, which has a few layers and over 400 frames which are broken into different labeled sections on the main time line.The entire site is located within one scene.After that l decided to add a loading bar with AS3. lt kind of works but only goes to 40% of so and then jumps to the second frame.l took the code from
function loadProgress(my_content:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (my_content.bytesLoaded*100)/my_content.bytesTotal );myLoadText.text = percent + "%";myLoadBar.width = percent * 2;}function

I need to make this site like presentation for my next exam. I found a good template for a slide show. The presentation will be structured like this:
MAIN PAGE with sidebar which links to: slide one with slideshow 1slide two with slideshow 2slide three with slideshow 3slide four with slideshow 4 due to the nature of the code thou i cannot put the different slideshows into the same .swf file in different scenes (i copied and pasted them in each scene and modified the actionscript so they would refer to different pictures) because they will create conflict with each other. now they question is can i use the sidebar to link to different swf files but still make it look like it was just one big swf?
