I have to replicate the below hyperlink in flash:
<a href="contact.asp" rel="mycontainer">Contact</a>
I can use getURL("stock.asp") but how do I pass the "rel" attribute? Its important as I'm using AJAX to uplaod pages within a div tag.
I'm currently trying to load specific XML data as a hyperlink into a button,the hyperlink is saved in the xml-file, and called upon by "childURL", now if I assign this function to the child_mc, which is formed into a menu dynamically within an instance named emptyMC, it will give me the link:
Code:
btnLink.onRelease = function() {
getURL(childURL, "_blank");
};
problem is I want to assign the link, when the child_mc-movieclip is clicked, to a button named 'linkbutton' on the main stage which will then load the page assigned in the xml-file when clicked.How would I load this data inside the button on stage? All codes I tried just open my browser and link to nowhere.
I need to pass the value of a attribute to a _global variable that can be accessed somewhere else in the movie.But it traces as undefined outside of onLoad.
eg.FRAME ONE
ActionScript Code:
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code].....
I am just trying to pass some variables from flash to php with getURL
getURL("CompSummary.php?url3=" + url3, "_self");
URL33 keeps coming back as undefined
However I printed out url3 using dynamic text in the flash movie just to check it and it does indeed exist, and is defined. I also tried creating a string and passing that to getURL
var path = "CompSummary.php?url3=" + url3;
getURL(path, "_self");
still no luck.
I'm having to work on some old AS2 stuff and my AS2 brain is sadly atrophied.
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
arrivaldate = day.text+" "+month.text;
//trace(arrivaldate);

Is working fine, passing all the variables into the URL. The question is... why? I can't see any mechanism whereby getURL is given all the variables defined above. Does it pass in all local vars by default?
I am having trouble passing variables to my server. The following code is on a button:

View 38 RepliesI am having trouble parsing some xml that has a few attribute names with : characters in them. The compiler is not throwing any errors and when I trace my complete xml object out it is all there, however when I try to trace out any element or node it keeps comming up undefined. I removed the attribute names with : characters in them and everything works fine. I cant seem to target the attributes either to delete them.
View 3 RepliesI have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.
The carousel itself is OK, everything works, including the click the icon to read the description.The only problem is that I need to have a hyperlink in one of the descriptions.

View 5 RepliesI need to add a hyperlink to and advanced data grid. I would usually would us a renderer to do this, but in this case the columns i need to have hyperlinked will not have values in it until a "calculate button" is clicked. It's when I click the calculate button that the values to display in the hyperlink are created. So, what AS3 code could I add in the button.click handler to add hyperlinks.

So there are three menu buttons, and the page flys in animations depending on the button pushed.I have another button named LINK, and I thought it would just be a matter of inserting the following code somewhere:
LINK.onRelease=function(){ getURL("http:url....); }
But no matter where I put it, it just makes my site play through all the animations one after the other regardless of whether buttons have been clicked or not, and the link won't work.Where should I put this code and is it correct? Also, once it's working, I want to copy it and make another button for creating an email.Is that just a matter of having a mailto: link instead of a hyperlink?

I want to make a flash movie which will load image and its hyperlink dynamically from external source. I know this is very common over the internet and as per some of the tutor I've done loading the image part but not able to sort out how to hyperlink that Below is the code
Code:
myData = new LoadVars()
myData.load("anastasio.txt")
myData.onLoad = function(succes)
{
[code]....
The text file "anastasio.txt" just have this line "image=photo.jpg". "holder_mc" is a blank movie clip. The image is loading properly but I dont know how to hyperlink that!! Can any one let me know how to do that dynamically.
Also, this is a very simple way of loading the image from text file but in real this will come from DB. The Admin will insert the image name and the url in DB and uploads the image to a specific folder from where the flash will load that image. I'm thinking what could be a better way from below to do the above stated task:
1) On insertion into DB, I need to create an XML file from DB fetching the image name and url and writing them to XML file. And every time the flash will load these from XML file instead of connecting to DB server.
2) No XML file. The flash will communicate with a PhP page which will fetch the records from DB and give it to flash for loading
I know both the ways for loading data into flash i.e. from XML or DB. I just wanted to know which could be the best!! In my opinion, XML file would be a better option since no DB connectivity every time on website but there will be only one record at a time which will get changed once in every month which is preventing me from creating XML file for just 1 record!!!

View 2 RepliesI need to have a hyperlink in an XML file, that would be loaded into my Flash Movie.
View 2 RepliesI created a table in flash that holds some informations in rows (something like: Date, Company, Article - per one row). All entries are made by one single XML file. My objective was to create a DOWNLOAD ARTICLE button, or at least hyperlink TEXT so one can download a file related to the information given.
I made an intelligent trick I've putted invisible buttons in every row and hyperlinked them (in Flash, not XML) with general names (01.doc, 02.doc, 03.doc...) as this table is meant to be updated.

I am working on a new rotator for an RSS feed. One of the fields I am displaying in the rotator is an article description. After the description, I would like to add a hyperlink that links to the page referenced. The link path, as well as all the data displayed, exists in the XML RSS file. I would like to append the link to the end of the article description and to display it in the form of the word "More".
Currently I am pulling in the description fine. I would now like to add the link, but I'm not sure how to append it. I don't know if I should create a button and try to put that on the end of the XML data, or is there a way to just create a text variable with a value of "More" and assign it a URL request.
the code to get my description looks like this:
PHP Code:
NewsBox.description.htmlText = xmlItem.description;
How do I append a text hyperlink onto that?
