tutorial on deep linking or using swf address.Also my site uses currMovie for it's page transitions. I've noticed the examples seem to have all their pages on the main timeline. Is it possible to deep link with external swf's?

A project requirement is that it be 1 way deeplinkable(a specific query string will load a section within the swf).I have a URLProxy that I use for all external linking. It makes sense to me to put the query string logic in this proxy. So in the constructor, I check for a querystring, and then send a notification if it equals a predefined value.One problem with this is that I'd like to predefine this query string key value I am checking against in an external xml file. So another proxy, loads-parses this config xml, then the URL proxy checks against this.

View 0 RepliesYo. Im trying to get deep linking working with a flash website im building. Im using SWF Address (asual.com/swfaddress). In my code I can set and get the current address value my using SWFAddress.setValue(), and SWFAddress.getValue(), but I can't for the life of me get the address bar to update accordingly.
View 4 RepliesIf there is a link to a section of a flash website from an HTML and/ or another Flash Movie... is there a way that the link could load the next Flash movie and then go to a specific keyframe or, even better, allow a custom animation to play when the user goes from the link on the first page to the "deep link" within the Flash movie?I can try to clarify the problem and question if I have to. Curious if this can be done and if anyone out there has had any success.Have used named anchors before to allow Windows toggling and bookmarking of Flash sections... however, this would have to work on ALL platform browsers and as info is somehow passed into the new Flash movie it seems different altogether

View 2 RepliesI have swfaddress (2.4) working fine on my site - the back button works, I can copy and paste urls and be taken to the correct page, etc.BUT, if I copy a url, say and paste it into a new browser window, the site always just loads to the home page after the preloader. What am I missing? Do I somehow need to check the url when the page loads?
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex app I built. It uses the BrowserManager class to listen for changes in the # part of the URL. When a change is made to the hash my application updates accordingly so you can link directly to a state of the application. Also inside my programming when a user clicks something, all I do is use the BrowserManager to update the # and then my listener will apply the correct changes once its finished. I believe this is the best practice way to doing this in Flex.
I have some issues though. When using the Back button in FF or IE, it gets "stuck". for example if the hash is like #state4 clicking the back button will take you to #state3 then #state2 but sometimes get stuck where you can be on #state3 click the back button, see it flicker to #state2 real quick then change back to #state3 preventing you from going back any further in your history.

I have sucessfully built a swfaddress site that works fine when you are navigating about, but if you go to a new url and then use back to return to the site, it goes to the correct frame, but the movie behaves as if it has lost some of the settings I made like stage.ScaleMode, and some of the functions and variables I defined on the main timeline are suddenly gone. The same thing happens when I paste in a direct link. The movie successfully goes to the page, but anything I've defined on the main 'actions' layer doesnt take any more.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a portfolio website of a friend using AS 3 and after a lot of reading and testing I have implemented deep linking for the main categories of the website. Now I need to figure out how to do it for the 'level 2 and level 3' content, for example a category and a project.
I have thought of this. Let's say this is our string of swfaddress: /portfolio/illustration/freelance-city
I would use a String.split like this:
var addr:String = new String("/portfolio/illustration/freelance-city");
var splitted:Array = new Array();
splitted = addr.split("/");
I will check: if the array is 1 long, do only level 1 stuff if 2 level 1 and 2 (go to correct main category and portfolio category) if 3 do all levels (go to correct main category, portfolio category and project) Right now, the array will have 4 items (it should be 3).
is this a reliable way to work for deep linking multiple levels? Any general tips for deep linking this kind of content? And how can you make sure the string splits 'after' the delimiter? To make sure the stuff before the first "/" isn't counted.
I'm implementing swfaddress in my project, which starts with a main swf with various menus. When a menu item is clicked, it signals a url change, and the url change loads a corresponding external swf. All works swimmingly here. But... what if I wanted to have another menu from within the loaded external swf, and have that have its own loaded external swfs, url change etc, as well? For example, on my home page, there is a menu item called "news".
Once "news" is clicked, the url changes and loads a "news.swf" into a holder on the main swf. Now, in the "news.swf" there is yet another menu, this one with two buttons: one button says "Article 1" and the other "Article 2" and each would signal a URL change and load "article1.swf" and "article2.swf" respectively when clicked. Is there a way to get the menus on the external swf to communicate with the swfaddress that is happening from within the main swf so that every swf has it's own url address and different events triggered by that change? so the url for article 1 would look something like [URL]
I was referred to the SWFAddress script, but I have been unsuccessful getting it to work with AS2. Does anyone have experience with this or have another suggestion on how to setup and use Dynamic Deep Linking with AS2 for flash CS3
View 1 RepliesI am trying to implement Deep Linking on a Flash site using AS2. I have done it many times but I don't know what happens this time. I tried everything but Back/Forward Browser buttons don't work. When I refresh the page [URL]everything works fine.
I put SWFAddress.setValue() on every button in my movie. The buttons are in another movie on the stage. This works fine too. The problem comes from the SWFAddress.onChange() function. I put it in the last frame of the movie. So the movie plays and then checks if the address has been changed. When clicked for the first time, the movie plays and then goes to the correct part of the site. When you click on another button and then use the Back Button the address changes but nothing happens with the movie.
stop();
reel_btn.addEventListener.(MouseEvent.CLICK, onReelClick);
samples_btn.addEventListener.(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSamplesClick);

I have my test site at alenelias.com/home2.html and I'm using an old AS2 class for the buttons to do the up, over, hover, selected states.When you click the back button on the browser, the selected state doesn't change and I can't figure out how to fix this and it is the most important problem here.The title of the pages has the forward slashes as well and tried to change it with no luck.And third if I keep clicking back, once I reach the intro page (loader in a different scene), if I press forward, the url changes but the page does not. Not a huge deal but would love to solve that as well.I recently looked at a form (blog.deconcept.com/2006/10/25/swfaddress/) and noticed this url spirituc.com which is very similar to my site but has the problem(s) fixed.URL...
View 0 RepliesHow can I programmatically click the browser's Back button from within my Flex application. I'm using deep linking to allow the user to navigate back/forth inside my application. I want this to work when BACKSPACE is clicked inside the application as well, but Flex captures BACKSPACE and the browser doesn't get the event. I don't want to implement browsing history myself within the application, naturally. Can I send BACKSPACE to the containing browser?

View 7 Repliesthe project im working on is all database driven, there are no html files and all coding that is created is made by php then stored within a db to be called later on. now because of this i can't use relative links at all with anything i.e. images, videos and swf files.
so.....i am using swfobject to link to a swf file using absolute linking as shown in the coding below. but what i need to do now is link an .as file in my swf using absolute linking so i can call some arrays from the file.i have doubled checked to make sure my vars can be passed by local testing and it works but now i need it as absolute....is this possible?

View 1 RepliesI have buttons in my header and the header has animations on it so I have no choice but to place the buttons deep inside the header movieclip. Now, the problem is that the actionscript on the main timeline can't access the buttons.
Here is a sample of my actionscript:
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
If I place the button on the main time line. I get no errors. But when I place the button deep inside the header, I can't seem to access it.I checked the layers and it indicated "Scene 1", "Header2", "Header", and at the very end of that are the buttons so I tried doing this:
Scene1.Header2.Header.about.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, clickSection);
I obviously failed.
Im building a flash app that has variouse movs embedded in the one file.

Basically what i want is when someone clicks on the button (inside pan) i want the movieclip 'inpan' to jump to the second frame.. the action im trying to add to the button is..
