im developing a web page flash-based and i want to call a gallery from a shadowbox. This is what i want:i want to click in a button and then open a shadowbox with my photo gallery. How can i do this? which is the code that i have to use in the button?
View 1 RepliesOk so here is the situation: i have a swf. in that swf, i have 2 buttons (button_mc and button3_mc).
i'm trying to call different images with shadowbox (image gallery).
For now, one image works FINE:
[Code]...
i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I'm trying to incorporate shadowbox into my flash. I'm very confused with the shadowbox flash instruction from their website, but this is what I have so far.I imported flash.net and created a button as follows
ActionScript Code:
mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mybtnClick);
function mybtnClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
I placed the downloaded shadowbox folder onto my server along with the example.swf, but when I click the button on the site, nothing happens!
If you ever wondered how to implement a shadowbox or thickbox in flash then look no further!
shadowbox --> http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/
thickbox --> http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/
Here are two examples I did the shadowbox and someone else did the thickbox sorry i forgot source - if it is yours please let me know and I will acknowledge From my experience on using both of them, i found that a shadowbox is a much better option.
Shadowbox uses javascript to hide the swf object when shadowbox is open - can display flash movies in shadowbox itself. Thickbox relies on wmode = 'transparent' to show the thickbox on top of the flash - very crude solution which slows your framerate down alot and doesnt work in all browsers.
I've been through the forum postings and have tried a few suggestions but I can't seem to find the answer to this: I'm trying to open a Quicktime movie from Flash in Shadowbox. I've searched at the ShadowBox forum, but no help. Hopefully one of you gurus can clue me in or thump me in the head one of the two.In a nutshell:I can launch the shadowbox from the flash button but a few things aren't clicking:
1. The quicktime movie is 640x360 and it only opens in a little window and shrinks the movie to fit.
2. The flash in the background disappears and goes black.
I've stripped a test down to make it as basic as possible.[code]
I'm using shadowbox and I am trying to load my video that has a custom skin. But for some reason it can't find my custom flash player. When I don't use shadowbox I can view the video and the skin shows up.
View 1 RepliesI want to have my overlay adjust in size depending on how much content is being shown in the flash movie. Also, I want it to resize in real time when the user adjusts the content.

I am trying to call a Jscript function from a flash object. I want the function to be called when the animation ends.
Here is the embed code
<h1 align="center">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="360" HEIGHT="250" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="center">
[code].....
here is the action code I add to the last frame of the flash object
URLLoader("javascript:mainFunction();");
The object loads but the function is not called. I can call the function other ways such as using an "onclick = mainFunction()" event on a button for example.

I am working on a press section of a site and was wondering if this was possible? I have a texfield that loads in html formatted text for a notepad file. I have done this lots of times and put <a href=blah> on certain words within notepad to make them links to other pages.
For this one i would like to have the textfield with links, but when the user clicks a link, i want it to trigger something in flash (i.e. click here for more info sending a variable to my main as script that will bring up some other text etc).
if so how would i go about writing the link inside notepad? I'm thinking that i just need to know the code for combining the text links with something in flash as.
I'm wanting to use a button in flash to call a javascript function that resides in my main html page.I think this can be done, but I'm not sure how to do it?
View 1 RepliesI tried to render html page which contains flash content. But it not responding. Loads endless. Text and image contents are OK. Here is my code.

Excuse me, I'm afraid I'll show my ignorance here,I'm trying to update my music site, and am happy with the look I get when I preview in IE from Dreamweaver, but when I upload to my site online, IE chokes up and the flash object never shows up, as on the iphone iOS 4.3 safari browser, and Firefox renders the object, but too far too the left.
Basically, when I have href text of various song names in cells on a table with a background image. When a song name is clicked, I'm attempting to have songs from my soundcloud account show up and play in a cell on the table, using an iframe. This is sort of working locally in IE, but nowhere else (see above). The code I grabbed from soundcloud is a flash object with a number of parameters defined that I am not able to utilize in my current method of just using the src="http:samplefile.com" part of the ofject code, not the other object parameters.
I've also tried creating separate html pages that have the full object code and nothing else, and then having my text in my table cells call these html files to show up in the iframe--that's actually working in IE, and though the location is off, in Firefox, but not on an iphone. Here's the link, try clicking "walking" at the top for the first approach, or "Batesville" for the object-in-blank-html approach:[URL].
I'm trying to link a button to open shadowbox. I keep getting an 1120 Error "Access of undefined property button". My code is as follows:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myWork);
function myWork2(event:MouseEvent):void {
ExternalInterface.call("Gallery");
}
where I put the images I want to use in my shadowbox? Currently I've copied all the files that came with shadowbox into my root folder.

Following the official Shadowbox usage instructions, I appended just a few lines of CSS/JS:

And yet, when I click on my thumbnail, it does not generate a Shadowbox overlay. Instead, my browser follows an ordinary link to the animation. I've also tried Lightbox, Greybox, and Lightbox2, working at this problem for about twelve hours. My understanding of Javascript objects and classes is very limited. Web Development is not my career path.
what the proper syntax is for passing flashvars thru Shadowbox to the JWPlayer (wanting to reskin it).
I have no problem doing this in conjunction with swfObject or via an embed.
Unfortuanitly my posts on the Shadowbox forums have gone unanswered. Their docs discuss this only in principle - no details provided for this specific need.
There are multiple posts on their forums and the developer mentions the ability to do this but provides no practical example showing how it's done with multiple variables and multiple parameters.
If using js to embed it would look like:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("/scripts/shadowbox-build-3.0b/libraries/mediaplayer/player.swf","ply", "580","326", "9","#F3F3F3");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");

Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.
The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for using FlashVars and URL variables.I have placed the code directly from the Help file into the Html between
<noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting undefined.I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8.
I have a m.c. calling for a swf file as such:
Actionscript Code:
mcl.loadClip("splash.swf", emptyMC1);
How do I get it to call for a html file instead??
I want to use AS3 call EXE file under HTML,because there was a demo.swf file,but now it has been converted demo.exe,so I wan to play this demo.exe,I use following code to run demo.exe,my class extends Sprite,
fscommand("fullscreen","true");fscommand("allowscale","false");fscommand("showmenu","true");fscommand("exec","demo.exe");
When I run above code,I can't see any information,where is wrong?
lets say that I call my flash that way
Code:
[...]/myFlashWithTwoArgumentsThatIWantToUse.swf?argOne=34&argTwo=someString
I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve them from the flash (in a class).
I have a html form of google docs. I collect information using it and google docs is great for me. Gives me excel output and this is what I need..
By the way, I need to use that form on my swf file in a movieclip. is it possible or not?
I try to perform calling of a javascript function from actionscript 3.0 thru ExternalInterface.call().I've seen a lot of online examples where the method works perfectly. But all downloaded copies of the examples don't work. Flash player can't call javasript due to the swf-html container security problems. I've already tried to set allowScriptAccess value from "sameDomain" to "always". It hasn't solved the problem.PS: browsers: firefox 3.6, IE 7.0s; flash player: v10.0

But what if under another layer, layer B, I have a movie clip and inside that movie clip I want HTML to play B_right (layer) or B_left (layer)?
I created a menu in flash and As3, nested in a HTML page, which calls html pages by the classic way urlrequest->navigatetourl.Now I was wondering if i can make As3 call a AJAX function declared in the HTML page or at least in the swf file itself....
