Actionscript :: Flash CS5 - "navigateToURL" In Web-browswer Hosted On MySpace
May 12, 2010
I made a quick flash document for my friend who posted it his MySpace. The document has 3 buttons, each with a URL attached to them. When I play the SWF file locally, the links work fine, however once it's published to MySpace, the links refuse to work. The hand icon comes up so it understands them at least as buttons, but it seems to do nothing when clicked in the web-browser. Also, I can open the SWF in my browser and it also works fine.
I'm using Flash CS5 and working in ActionScript 3.0.The three buttons are on one layer called "Buttons". I right click the button and click "Actions". From there, I click the "Code Snippets" and under the folder "Actions" there is an item called "Click to Go To Webpage". Here is the code it gives you by default:
button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
}
I heard there was a problem with MySpace not allowing action scripts, and after checking the source code, the value is set to not allow action scripts. I don't think it's a browser issue, since it's working fine when I execute the SWF by itself, and when I load it into Firefox. It's just seems MySpace is having a problem with it.

Code:

I'm having trouble getting Flash to work on Myspace. I'm running OS X 10.6.7 on an iMac, and using Firefox 4, Safari 5, and Opera 11 ... and nothing works. Myspace pages come up OK, but don't allow me to play songs on them. I've reinstalled the latest Flash ... am I missing some sort of additional plugin, or have I added some other plugin that's preventing it from working? and if I haven't provided enough info, I'm sorry, I'm a first-timer here.

I've been looking online for a while today to try to locate some information on how to pull information into flash (CS3) from Facebook and more so from Myspace. The reasoning for the myspace (I hate it as much as the next guy) is that I really want the look and feel to mimic the site I'm working on to keep the branding.Currently I have a theme from URL... placed in my theme at URL... and had used the myspaceID for allowing the application access to the account.

I'm having trouble making Flash open any links when embedded into my MySpace profile. I'm developing a MySpace profile layout that uses embedded SWF movies in custom created DIVs. Everything was going great. Things were loading into place and I managed to get my homemade Twitter widget to update perfectly using a crossdomain.xml.
The one problem I can't seem to address is the 'opening links' issue. Upon searching for the last couple of days, I came across some articles that claim MySpace blocks "navigateToURL" commands. Also found out a workaround that involves placing a transparent GIF over the area which is supposed to be clickable, but I still have hope that such a basic function as clicking a button within an embedded SWF in MySpace and opening said link can be achieved.

I've embedded a virtual tour on one of my client sites.
The site is hosted by Slicehost, and as you can see the load times for the Flash movies are very slow, so my idea was to serve the swf files from Amazon S3 Europe.
To test it, I have all swfs uploaded to the same directory / bucket on Amazon, while the index.html and p2q_embed_object.js files reside on my local machine. The js file is changed to refer to the Amazon-hosted swfs. The first swf loads fine, but the others don't. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this that would allow me to serve my Flash assets from elsewhere?

We are writing a new social app that connects to FB using FB connect (actually, it's in Flash so we're using the FB AS3 SDK, which uses the FB Javascript API under the hood AFAIK).
When the flash app is served from our site - it works fine.But when we try to embed it in a 3rd party site (using an Iframe that points to our site) the following happens: when we try to perform a login to FB using the AS3 function Facebook.login(onLogin, opts), a small browser-based login to FB pop-up comes up, but it has the following error first
Or is it possible that FB don't support FB connect apps that are embedded in 3rd party sites?

I want to create a custom video player to modify the skin of the play controls etc but still host the videos on youtube.The youtube api allows for minor colour adjustments but not full customisation. I know it would be possible if I download the FLVs but i want the video to remain hosted on youtube.

Ok this isn't as much of a flash issue but I can't figure out why the page loads this way. For those that can't see the image when myspace loads it automatically has the typing indicator on the search bar so if one of my friends trys to use my cmd prompt he types something in it searches on mysace. The only way around this is to click in the grey area / off the search bar then click the input box to begin typing. I'm wondering if there is a way if you guys know the where my flash input box gets priority over the typing indicator blinky thing.

Is it possible to load in data of a myspace agenda as xml? Or is there a wsdl? I could not find an easy way to do this. I checked the myspace opensocial, but you use this only when you are building an application for the myspace site, right ?

i need a webpage (host on my website) that can play the following mp4 file either via silverlight 4 or flash[URL]..i tried various solution like flowplayer and silverlight but none of them work with the URL above. I can play the file fine using Windows media player or VLC.
For silverlight, i always get AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR exception within MediaFailed event. For flash, via flowplayer, IE page is just blank
Can someone tell me what am i missing? i am very frustrated as I have finished encoding, upload, cataloging my videos and now I am stuck at the last step.

Is there any way via Actionscript that I can have a swf determine what URL it's hosted under? For instance, if I put my swf on this site, I want it to behave one way and on another behave completely differently. Make sense?

I had developed a whole series of tutorials using Flash CS4 (AS3). To load various modules I used the the following code:
Button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{[code]...
This works great with CS4 but when I stated using CS5 and exported my swf files, it stopped working. It seems that its trying to find the page over the internet and not the local directory anymore.

I have a SWF hosted on a https enabled domain and amfphp installation on the same domain. Now when i let user embed the swf on his on http page, i intend to send some data to amfphp without user seeing it. However i see that firefox with firebug plugin catches the post data easily. How is this happening ? Adobe documents say that if a swf is hosted in https and destination is also under https, its suppose to be secure?

I have a flash widget, hosted on a web page that attempts to navigate to a URL with some http request query parameters added to it.I'm finding however that the white space in a parameter value gets double encoded for some reason, such that 'SPACED OUT' turns into 'SPACED%2520OUT':[code]Basically, I'm looking for anybody else who's seen this and of course any suggestions as to what can be done about it.Obviously, my opinion is that this should be encoded only once, to 'SPACED%20OUT', which is what's expected by standard.

I created a swf embedded on a web document and hosted on our local server. I have no problem previewing and playing it on flash player 10 but whenever I attempted to play the same swf in flash player 9 I'm getting a popup security warning. I went ahead and registered it on the Adobe website but still with no success.

Here is the external swf loader that is commonly used and which I used
ActionScript Code:
var xpos:Number = 4;
var ypos:Number = 4;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var presvid:URLRequest = new URLRequest("presentation/presentation.swf");
loader.load(presvid);
loader.x = xpos;
loader.y = ypos;
addChild(loader);
The presentation.swf file plays well when I test the movie, but when I upload it to the internet to say swfcabin.com or deviantart, etc or any site which supports swf, the presentation.swf file doesnt play.

I have a flash program in a web page that tries to post a picture to a web page. When the user clicks a button the web browser starts to navigate to the new page then seems to hang (I can see it starts to go to the page by reading the transferring data from message in Firefox status bar)
This also seems to work in debug version but not the exported version.
Flash code:
var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com
