I wasn't quite sure where to put this. I created a banner for a friend in flash using actionscript 2 and the getURL command. When I go to embed it in HTML, the movie shows up and when you hover over it, it appears to link but when clicked it does not link. When I go directly to the .swf file it links, but not when I embed it. Is there anything special I have to add to my HTML to make the link work?
View 2 RepliesAre there known issues regarding the getURL command in Firefox 3.5?I made a very simple flash movie with some getURL commands and they work in IE7 and IE8 but not in Firefox 3.5.[code]I just tested in Opera (9.24) and it doesn't work either...
View 1 Repliesit is possible of use string on the geturl(); command?
like this:
on (release) {
getURL(main.main2.toString(), _self);
_root.text = search;
}
is there any workaround so that the url will become dynamic? The links is stored in xml file.
ex of the links are :
this.html?gotoframe=#thisframe
that.html?gotoframe=#frame2
Basically the this and that html files contains swf that have alot of frames
.I downloaded this OS X dock template:Url...I got the pictures all changed to what I want, but I can't figure out how to insert the getURL command to make each icon hyperlink to a new webpage.I know it's in ActionScript 2.0, and that the pictures are movie clips.I know things have to be buttons to hyperlink in flash, but will I lose the OS X effect if I make that change?If someone could walk me through setting this up to have hyperlinking icons, that would be fantastic. Using Macromedia Flash Pro 8.Adobe Flash CS3 Pro is also an option.

I've created a flash banner with an embedded quicktime .mov with Flash MX and published an html of it[URL]... in google chrome it does not work? In the other browsers it seems to load slowly,
My questions are:
1. How may I create a high rez flash that loads quicker?
2. What is up with Google chrome and flash?
3. Is there a better way of embedding flash?
is it possible to use relative paths e.g. ../website/home.html rather than [URL] with the getURL command?
View 1 Repliesi have that header for my navigation here: [url] However I cannot get the getURL command to function properly. You can test it out by clicking on a key meta word (right hand side) than clicking on "home" to take you back.As you will see it does not work.The site is built around Joomla—it's pretty basic and I didn't care for any of the navigational options so I built a flash menu.
edit I can get this to work when I "cmd-return" out of flash and test the .swf - but online it's a no go.
When i open my page like this : www.mypage.com, the buttons work fine, and when i click them, they go to the wanted url...
But if i open my page like this : http://mypage.com, the buttons still play the over animation, but when i click them, nothing happens..
This is my actionscript code :
on (release){
getURL("http://www.mysite.com/link.php", "_self");
}
why the buttons in the flash banner I created in Flash CS4 work when I preview it in either Flash or HTML in the Flash CS4 program, but when I go to load it into a html document in Dreamweaver CS4 and preview it in a firefox or IE browser, the banner comes up fine, but the buttons this time will not work. The buttons are displayed with there animation and sound, but the links will not work. I have tried scripts in AS2 and AS3.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering what the easiest way to resize banners that use Tweenlite or any tween class.
For instance I have a 300x250 and I need to resize it to 640x480. Is there a quicker way to resize it with out resizing and moving all the movie clips, then reediting the code for the x and y coordinates? Most of the assets are vector so resizing the whole .swf isn't an issue.

View 3 Repliesim building a little flash website for a friend, struggling my way through. Its quite a steep learning curve as this is my first bit of flash work.Heres the problem, i built the part below, added buttons that should scroll through a series of pictures when clicked (which will be replaced with pages later).
The buttons work, and when pressed for the first time they select the right page. However pressing the buttons in a certain order seems to mess things up.
If i press page 1, page 2, page 3 then press page 2 again, page 1 is displayed
I'm asking this question because I can only find examples and answers for the PHP version. I need the Flash version. I'm trying to get my friends information, but I think I'm doing it wrong because if I trace it, it'll give me either [object Object] or undefined.
I did Facebook.api("me/friends", handleApiGet);
private function handleGetApi(success:Object, fail:Object):void
{
if (success)
{

ExternalInterface.call("doAlert", success) returns me [object Object], [object Object]. I also did ExternalInterface.call("doAlert", success.name), it returns me undefined.

View 2 RepliesI have only one question but phrased it 3 ways:
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?
I have a facebook canvas app (flash).
I have a user who is visiting the app.
I have a button that the user clicks for the purpose of inviting a friend to the app.I understand that this can be done via the js sdk: http[url].....However I am already using the facebook_as3_api, and I would prefer to avoid using multiple facebook api's. Does the facebook_as3_api have a way of doing this, and if not, why not?
I have a Send to a Friend form I modified from lewip's awesome xml newsreader slideshow. [URL] I have everything in the text inputs being passed correctly, but I would also like the email sent to contain a small amount of text, that the user does not input, to explain why the recipient has just received the email. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.
View 3 RepliesI may be mistaken, but it appears that Facebook only supports friend-selector dialogs within a request/invite form. I take that to mean that since our app is just allowing the user to arrange a subset of friends for display within the app (no message to the friend), we must use something that isn't available from Facebook. It would be nice to know if I'm wrong, but important to have some clear pointers on how to get a friend ID back from the dialog without an invite or request getting sent to the friend.
I've searched for solutions and the closest I've come is a description of something that implements what I want offered for license by Mike Knoop. I've tried making contact, but still don't know whether the code (or license terms) will work. It would be really nice to have a solution that was more open, but any pointers to widgets/libraries that include this capability

View 4 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.

I'm making a sort of portfolio movie using flash which I intended to use for directing to different locations in the Web concerning me; my already uploaded flash movies, sites, creations, projects, etc.
It quickly seems all my work till now might have been for nought: when I click on a link in my published flash so far, it displays this message:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application:
(swf path)
has tried to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
(link target)
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings. You must restart the application after changing your settings."
As you can probably understand, I cannot expect visitors to my site to manually configure their player for every single of the tens of links I have in my movie. Is there any way I can convince Flash Player that my links are not potentially unsafe?? I am using Flash CS3 and AS2.
If I made a homepage with an embedded .swf which had buttons that linked to other html pages on my website using the getUrl() function, would those links be spiderable by google? Or should I also put in text links outside of the .swf (which would ruin the design a bit)?
