Flex :: 4 - Trigger The Back Browser Button From A Flex App With Deep Linking?
Nov 2, 2010
How 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?

I 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 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...

I have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.

I looked at the tutorial on gotoandlearn about it, and understood the concept, but it's in as3, and I'm trying to do this in as2.I have it so that the url changes, and the title changes. And when you click on the various buttons on my site..it registers in the browser..but the main purpose I can't get, namely, if someone clicks my about button, i want to trigger the about function.That is easy enough to do in flash, but how can I get it to trigger from the back or forward button. Or if someone goes to URL...I am not getting the key ingredient to make this happen. If I paste in URL...how is it to know to launch the about function?

In my Flex app I give the user the ability to open up a new item form ( s:Panel ) and create multiple items on the page.Sometimes for some odd reason bringing up the panel (simple task) seems to take a really long time to load (like 30 seconds or so) However, the weird thing is that if right after I click to open I navigate away from the Tab and back again to the Flex app tab it shows up right away.
I'm not sure if this has to do with refresh rate or some setting or is it general performance/memory issue with my app that I have to consider. When the application work it works fairly fast which is making me think it's not memory/performance issue.

basically this code will work like a browser back button its very simple but "could end up very long" basically it will act "similiar to the browser back button"
Code:
on (release) {
if(page1 = _currentframe){
_root.gotoAndStop("quiz");
} else if (page0 = _currentframe){
[code]....
it works when the (page1 = _currentframe){ is rotated with the first if statement...because for somereason it seems to not recognise the "else if's"

when the menu items are clicked it calls the SWFAddress.setValue( ); which changes the address bar and triggers the event listener: SWFAddress.addEventListener( SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, swfAddressChange );
this is visible by the textbox in the upper left hand corner, it changes to reflect the value. But when you click the back button, the event SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE is not set off and the result is the textbox staying with the previous value.
as you can see from the html code, the flash Object has an ID, the swfaddress javascript is imported after swfobject. ( using swfobject2.1, swfaddress 2.3 )

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.

If 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

I want to find a relatively easy solution for deep dynamic linking within flash. There are plenty of tutorials out there, so please don't jump to the conclusion that I haven't done a search. What I am looking for is a tutorial that should theoretically be easy to follow for someone who is a non-coder.

Consider the following mx:Button:<mx:Button click="doSomething()" id="myButton"/>Is there some way to programmatically emulate the user clicking the button?One obvious way to do it would simply be to call doSomething() which would give the same end result as clicking the button. But I'm specifically looking for ways to emulate the click -- that is something along the lines of myButton.click() (if that should have existed).

I 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?

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.

I'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 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.
