Actionscript 3 :: Link In TextField Of Flash Cannot Be Clicked If It Is Embedded In Different Domain
Sep 29, 2011
I wrote a flash (ActionScript3) based radio streaming player, there is a link in the player for users to click. It's is a "a" tag in TextField. The code looks like this
textField.htmlText = '<u><a href="' + url +'">' + htmlEscape(text) + '</a></u>';
It works fine if I put my flash player in same domain of web-page, however, if the domain of web-page is different from the location of flash player, then the link is not clickable.
For example:
A radio example page
You can see there is a link in the title bar of radio player, I hosted the flash player on CDN, its domain is different from the web-page, therefore, the link is not clickable.
Why the link cannot be clicked if it is embedded in a cross-domain page? It doesn't make any sense. I did set the crossdomain.xml file properly, but it appears that it doesn't work. I want to make the link clickable everywhere, no matter what domain the web-page is located.

The company I work for has their own Flash based video player and the question I get from our execs is "Can we tell what website our player is embedded on?"At first, I hypothesized I could use Apache mod_rewrite, extract the HTTP_REFFER, and append it to the end of the requested URL. So as the browser gets http://.../viewer.swf, I could slap on ?However, I don't think our CDN will cater to our htaccess file. Plus, mostly all the access_log entries show a dash rather than the domain.So I'm casting this question our here to see if I catch any ideas or solutions. Currently, everything points to 'not possible'.

i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?
I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false

What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.
Current development: [URL]
and code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

[URL]there are 5 links on the right side homepage, about us, our coffee, services, contacts my question is about the sliding effect when any of these 5 links are clicked. when any of these links are clicked whatever page content is currently visible, that content slides away to the right and then the content of the link that has been clicked slides from the left and this page content appears, how is this created.
i am guessing that the rectangular area where the content for all the 5 pages appears can be a containing movie clip, and when any of the 5 links are clicked on each of those links in the action script code for on release code will be written to display the appropriate page however how can i get that sliding effect of pushing the existing content away to the right and display the links content which would slide from the left, how to go about doing this i am guessing it would be an action script code.

This is really confusing (the title of this thread probably doesn't make any sense at this point), and I'm not actually quite sure what I'm trying to do is possible, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
Basically, I have created a speaker-looking button (speakerON_btn) that plays the audio in Flash. It works fine -- starts automatically and stops when it's at the end or when somebody clicks on it.
Then, I put this Flash file into an HTML... works good. However, on this HTML page, I also have a PDF link (that links to what the audio is discussing). I have been asked to stop the audio when the user clicks on the PDF to open it. I don't want the PDF to open in the same window, so I can't use that as a method to stop the audio.
Is there any ActionScript I can add to the Audio Flash file that will tell it to stop when a user clicks on a link outside of Flash?
Also, if the above is impossible, would it be possible to add ActionScript to stop the audio if I were to build the entire HTML page as a Flash file? If that's a possibility, what ActionScript would need to be added to the my speakerON_btn?

I want to make it so that when I click anywhere on the embedded Flash element, it takes me to a destination URL.
Here is my current code, which does not produce the desired effect:
<div class="contentdiv" style="margin:-72px 0 10px 0px; cursor:pointer;" onclick="location.href='http://example.com/';">
<object height="410" width="720">
[Code]....
Right now it is making the space behind the .swf file clickable for the link, but the Flash element is not clickable.
If the right thing to do is to edit the .swf file somehow, I don't consider myself a Flash developer, but are there any resources on where to get started or how to do something this basic with an existing .swf file?

I am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website.When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the link!I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it still does not work!I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows.HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page.

I am trying to make a "mother" swf to hold all my functions, shortcuts, etc.. This "mother" swf will be stored on a "mother" server.I intend to make several websites on different servers that all access this "mother" swf for various tasks.I created two testing domains where I was able to have cross-domain swfs share functions & variables successfully.The problem occurs when one swf tries to write to a textfield in another swf. I can change properties like position and rotation, but I cannot access properties such as ".text", which is the most important property I need to use.
Mother SWF: "www.projectvolcano.com/a.swf" (a.swf)
2nd SWF: "www.unitcounter.com/b.swf" (b.swf)
Note: b.swf loads a.swf using loadMovie

I am really at a lose end with this - I have a flash file called in xml into a dynamic textfield. It works fine with English but when I try and put Greek into the xml the flash file then doesn't show the font. The font is verdana - which can be translated and I have embedded the font, with greek and made sure my xml is unicode-8 - but it still shows nothing.

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?

I have a similar problem where I want a text field that by default has the word NAME in it, to become empty when a user clicks on it.
The text field has the instance name 'nam' and is inside a movie with the instance name 'input_text'.
I've searched around and found samples of code where everyone keeps suggesting this:
Code:
textboxinstancename.onSetFocus = function() {
textboxinstancename.text = "";
};

i want this clip unloaded (destroyed) when ANY other link is clicked. This clip is an empty container clip that will be generating child clips that will each be loading thumbnails for images. Obviously i need to destroy the parent clip to remove all children without looping, etc.
This movie clip ("TL") is created in a keyframe that is the stopping point of an animation. When a user clicks the Portfolio link from the menu, the menu hides itself, and then goes to a frame label where actionscript awaits. Once there, the AS tells the submenu movie to animate (play). The submenu then plays and stops when it hits a certain frame (the one with the 'stop();' code, lol), and that frame then contains actionscript that generates the Gallery Thumbnails' parent container ("TL"), via:
var TL:MovieClip = createMovieClip("TL",60);
and GT then creates movie clips for thumbnails to be contained in via:
TL.createEmptyMovieClip('Thumb' + i,TL.getDepth() -1);
All this works so far. Now, to get rid of the clip when any other button is clicked, i tell the gallery movie to play again, which alphas it out of sight. So, on the NEXT frame of the timeline AFTER the frame which the TL and children are created is where i need to place the actionscript to unload/remove them. The problem is that there is no method for this! It seems that all the methods for removing / unloading clips only apply to clips that were duplicated or instatiated from loading external files or attaching instances from the library...I need to remove this "TL" clip, and can't figure out how.
Code:
_root.mcMenuGalleryAnimation.attachMovie("thumbsList","TL",60);
TL._x = -300;
TL._y = 0;[code]....

When the link is clicked, it pops up a new window with the path of the fla file in the address bar and an UNDEFINED at the end...
Code:
on (release) {
getURL(_root.clickTag, "_blank");
}
With this AS on the button the link does not pop up at all
Code:[code]...
I've used clickTag, clickTAG, ClickTag, and ClickTAG all with the same results... not that it should matter as long as the flash and html match.I've tried to add the clickTag in the html like this
HTML Code:[code].....
And none of that is working so maybe SWFobject would work?

I've built a SWF with the top layer being an invisible button. As a test, I simply uploaded the file to the server and clicked it. Here is the URL where the file is located: [URL] When clicked anywhere, it should take you here: [URL] and it does. I sent the SWF to a third party vendor who have placed the masthead at the top of a page: [URL] which its on their server. When you mouse over the image, it appears clickable, but if you click it, no action takes place. It's the exact same file. Why is it working from one place, but not the other?

This is what I have so far. [URL]. My problem is trying to code the menu:
I've managed to get the services link to do what I'm after but that is because it is positioned straight after the opening animation in the timeline - that is to have the banner fade out and the bottom line drop down to allow room for the content. From the home page I want each of the links, when clicked, to fade out the banner and drop the banner line down......THEN.......if home is clicked from any of the other pages I want the banner line to move back up and the banner to resume (in my case this is frame 279)

But I want that when user clicks the link of a song, it should open the artist image in an image-holder. How can I do that?

So I am working on a portfolio site for a friend. She has a few photo galleries. Each one on it's own frame with an empty movieclip that loads an external .swf gallery (has pre-loader bar). There's three Sections so I have three buttons with _root.gotoAndStop("framelablehere"); behaviors on each frame.
What happens is if the external .swf file is loading and you decide to click to another section while the .swf has not finished loading my whole timeline freaks out and plays threw all the frames in my main movie. So it goes threw every section of the entire site! I have multiple stop();'s threw out my main movie. Basically one for each frame in my main movie plus more in the external .swf's.
You can check it out here [URL]- Just go to Projects>Photography and once you see the movie loading click to another section and watch the spasming begine~
