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)?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to track a #anchor for example [URL] the anchor is being called by Flash AS2. how can i tell GA to track hits on this page? I tried the GETURL method in flash:

which apprently used to work, but since they've made changes this doesn't... during tests firefox navigated to a page with the url javascript:_gaq.push [URL] was strange. Do I need to even use flash to ask GA to track the anchor? Is there a way i can point GA to track all anchors that are part of my page?
I wanted to put a search box in my flex app that would act just like google or google finance: you start typing and a drop down list just below starts filtering the results dynamically. Does anyone know how to do this in flex? I am using flex and php so as the user types it will pull results off the server dynamically.

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.
I have been tyring to figure this out for a while now and no luck. I have some AS2 code below which works:
on(release)
{
var sendText = "../Flash/uploadVoteandFeed.php?";
[code].....
I have 2 'getURL' functions on one keyframe, one a text (converted) button, the other an image. They are both next to one-another however only the text (converted) one works. The top bit of code is the text (converted) button:
bt_url.onRelease = function (){
getURL("[URL]","_blank");};
bt_ethicaltrading = function (){
getURL("[URL]","_blank");
};
The code for each is exactly the same, I have checked instance names, tried different url's and even created an invisible button for the image based one. I have also tried putting the buttons on the same layer.
What I want to do is take the value of $MyState in the php code below..

<?php
$MyState = $_GET['MyState'];

I know that I need to do something with Loadvars, but all of the tutorials I've tried aren't working. how to get this php value into my flash file button's getURL?
We've recently been stumped trying to get flash to successfully getURL. The getURL was well formed, with a target of "_blank". Changing the URL to something basic e.g. blah.html worked just fine.owever, anything which has the following character combination within the URL string chokes & won't trigger the getURL:Code:getURL("a\b", "_blank");Obviously the backslash character is very rare in URL's but does anyone know of a way to make this work? Or is it just a bug within Flash 8 Professional?The actual paramterized url we were trying to pull up had ?blah=somethingsomethingelseetc within it. Originally we just pasted the URL in but the backslash was interpreted by flash to be a special character cue, changing e.g. 200 -> Euro symbol. thus we put \ to ensure flash knew we wanted to use a literal backslash character in the string.
View 1 RepliesI 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 using a template to redo my site, since im too lazy to redesign my own. What I would like is when the full size image is loaded, there is the ability to click on the image and it will open up a URL in a seperate window. Just not having luck with it.Anyway, here is the script that I would like to have Flash load the URL added from the XML file.The MC that the photo loads into is "flashmo_photo_area"

I'm trying to use getURL to open a new window that will have a specified size.I downloaded Macromedia's own tutorial/sample code for how to do this using javascript and cannot get it to work.
Here's their code:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.macromedia.com','thewin','height=400,width=400 ,toolbar=no,scr ollbars=yes') ");
}
[URL]
Nothing happens when I click their button. I tried changing the target, still nothing. I also tried it in Safari and in Firefox with FF's popup blocker turned off. Nothing.

I use getURL to trigger new page, it works in flash player 7 (publish setting -> flash player version 7) but not works in flash player 8 (publish setting -> flash player version 8). Here is the code :
[Code]...
I have the following problem trying to open a new window from flash:
getURL(url, new_window, "POST")
What happened was that the first time I clicked the button, it opens a new window; but subsequent clicks seem to do nothing... No "post" is done and that window doesn't get refreshed.
I would like to create a button in Flash with a getURL that can be easily edited by using an XML source.
View 1 RepliesI 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 RepliesI'm stuck with defining a getURL function while loading an external XML file.
I have a Flash AS2.0 file and I've made it CMS driven. The content for everything in the SWF file is loaded from an XML file which resides on the same server. I've defined all other XML variables and I'm able to successfully parse them inside a holder MC I have in my Flash file. Some of the many variables I have are name, caption, thumbnail img, large img, etc... I've also defined the XML file with a 'Link' that points to a URL relative to each image it loads.
I'm unable to define the function in Flash to retrieve the URL from 'Link' parsing value stored in my XML file.
I tried defining a function called getLink in actions layer of my Flash file:
getLink = function () {
getURL('Link[ID]','_blank');
};
The ID is loaded in the beginning of the Flash file - based on the number of values available in XML file. All other functions work, except this getURL function.
At the end of my movie I want to launch a URL that loads up another Flash movie. In the past I would use something like getURL("[URL]"); how to perform this task in Actionscript 3?

I have an interesting (and rather embarrasing) error occuring only in Firefox on http://www.northwestu.edu/report/06/.

Is that possible?
I know its not possible to copy and paste the javascript code into Flash, because Flash won't do anything about it (or cause an error).But I do know the Google Adsense code generates an iFrame to show the ad. So I was thinking if I were to grab the iFrame source (the src attribute) and load that html page into Flash... maybe? So I guess my question would be is it possible to have Flash load an HTML page?I know there is MochiAds, but I would like to get a little bit more % of the $ :)

View 3 Repliesmy flash file has different pages and on every page flip i want to track the hits using GoogleAd.. this is how i am trying to get it within flash:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/filetrack/'+_root.currentPage.text+'.html');");

root.currentPage.text is the generated page number- but this does not seem to work- looks like within this getURL parameter i can not add any variables.. is there any other way to get the same result..

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a flash banner add that utilizes the google maps flash api to display a store locator tool similar to this: [URL]
I have been given an extremely tight deadline and am basically clueless on how to get these technologies jiving;
I have 2 buttons in a flash movie with the following codes. They open a new URL that also contains a flash movie and it sends the variable "nFrame" and a value.
Button1:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("goats.html?nFrame=1");
}
Button2:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("goats.html?nFrame=2");
}
When the new URL opens I want the flash movie to begin at a particular frame depending on what variable "nFrame" is equal to. I tried placing this code in the first frame to do it but it didn't work, the movie just loops and loops and doesn't stop at any frame.
Code:
if(nFrame=1) {
gotoAndStop("cheese");
} else {
gotoAndStop("wine");}
}
