I'm trying to create a Flash Carousel in AS2. I've made the Carousel itself, and have got the icon images and tooltips from an XML file using this code:
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code].....
I have functions for 'over', 'out', and 'released', and to move the carousel automatically, left or right depending on mouse position.
I was wondering if there was a way you could make each individual icon have an external link that leads to a different place on my website when you click on an icon, where I could specify the link url itself in the XML file?
I have a nice Flash Carousel gallery and it fed from a n xml file. I am trying insert links to give an option to a reader to go an external website to read more about the given subject. I am new to actionscript, and all my trying and all my trying failed so far.Here is the script for this section:
xml.onLoad = function() { var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes; numOfItems = nodes.length; //this counts the amunt of items listed in the xml document (numOfItems);
just been doing it for a couple days, i downloaded a template and have been trying to figure out how to edit the links. It came with a _URLs.txt, but all the links on the menu go to the same link.for example[URL]
I bought a flash template who uses this code for links in the header
onClipEvent (load) { num = 2; _parent.ti1.gotoAndStop(num); _parent.ti2.gotoAndStop(num);
[Code].....
What I want is to be able to modify the page URL from an external file (xml or txt). I want just an external file, and here, on the AS of the button to modify just the line number of where to get the link from external file.
Not sure if I'm in the right place, I apologize in advance if so. I'm somewhat proficient with html, but fairly new to flash, using cs4pro, as3.Here's my dilemma. Converting an existing html/css site to flash. Flash is main site now but a few html pages are still linked, a buy page and a form page, a few others. I can get the all the external html pages to link to a frame in the flash movie, and I can get the flash to link with all external urls.My problem comes when I move to a frame outside the main timeline. The movie is lets say 393 frames. All symbols/content are on seperate layers, and so is the action. Once the full movie ends, I have several frames past that where I have basically created frames for additional "pages" and created anchors for those frames, new layes for content, new layers for anchor (labeled) and new layers for a stop(); on each frame, I extended the pertinant graphic frames out to 410 from the original movie.
Now when the movies runs the buttons appear at about frame 115, so in the action layer I coded a keyframe and then added frames of it out to frame 410 or so: I have attached the .fla (not able to attach at this forum .fla here:s say to an external link (button) like members, the html member page opens, and if you click home button, back to flash frame, and all works, all buttons, on the home frame 393. But if you go to any of the external htmls, and then go back to any other frame like frame 401 the about page, and all the rest 402 403, etc, the page appears properly, but then none of the links function.
I used Dreamweaver to embed my flash file into an html file, using "Insert-->Media-->Flash".When I preview the file, everything works fine, but when I upload the file to the web, the external links to my blog and e-mail will not work. Before, I just had the flash file up, with no html, and it worked fine.Url...
I have completed the Carousel part 3 tutorial and everything is working perfectly. However, I want to add a link to an external url in each of the detailed descriptions. How would I add this to the xml file?
I have a main file,which loads some external swf files.These external swf files load some html text in dynamic textfields.These html texts also contain links.Is it possible, to link in one of the external swfs,using html?
I'm loading html formated text from an external txt file into a masked "createTextField", which was styled using an external CSS file. Everything is fine, except for one strange thing...any links at the beginning of my text file DON'T work...the links towards the bottom of my text file DO work.I have never ran into this problem before.So far, I'm totally stumped.Note: I have "a:hover" and "a:active" properties set via the CSS file.When I rollover the links that aren't working, the anchor rollover properties do change, so there is some recognition going on, but the mouse doesn't change to a hand
In my timeline I have different link hot spots, so that each product will link to a separate web page (externally).I don't think this is going to work:When I upload the Flash file to a server to test, the links show me the 'pointing finger' icon, but when clicked upon it does not even open another web page attempting to follow the link. - that tells me this doesn't work!I need to get this correct for when the final goes live. What am I missing? Should I try the extension? (product01.asp)
I was wondering how you use Actionscript 2, to read a URL/web address in a XML file and when you click a button, or an icon, you are then taken to a page specified in the XML document?
I understand loading external text into flash through actionscript to produce a quick way to modify text without modifying the flash movie. The problem is being able to create hyperlinks in the external text to navigate within the movie (website). So my question, Is there a way to load external text but with the ability to code links into words or phrases that point to instance names (frames) within the movie (website).
current method create *.txt file *.txt loads into .swf file
.swf is called from loader component on main movie.Or is this impossible and the text has to made within the main movie and edited through flash?
I have my parent swf created with the external swfs loading properly.once they are loaded, the links within the externally loaded swf's are not working. Here is the code I am using:
on (release) { //Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior this.gotoAndStop("first"); //End Behavior
I want one animation of a content area but i want the menu to run the animation and put in a certain .swf so i can have something like:when u click a button that is suposed to goto Home then it plays a MC that has Home as an external .swf loaded into it and when i click another link like Portfolio it starts that MC over but with Portfolio as an external .swf in it

I know that there are alot of posts about loading external swf or links into the carousel. However the problem i am havng is when i click on a carousel icon it returns with an error in the output window saying;
now obviously this looks like a file path problem, but i have tried to fix this and it still returns the same message. I have also looked at how i called the xml file back and it seem to be ok.
I have a blog that I insert swf video into via an iframe which references a CS4 published html page from my swf file. I would like to put html links into each individual blog post to act like a table of contents that someone could use to move to specific frames in my video.
About to pull out my hair...I've loaded an external text document into the dynamic text field fine, but am unable to make any html tags within that document work once it's up on the web. I'm trying to add links within the document.
loadText = new loadVars(); loadText.load("firm_overview.txt"); // creating the loadVarsText function loadText.onLoad = function() { scroller.text = this.overview; };
Should i add something to this to enable the html tags to work??
When going to the links on the flash banners at the bottom work perfectly. there is an increased frequency in people visiting the site and only typing and in those instances the links do not work.

I'm working on a flash header for a website with the page links contained in an external .txt file, and I'm experiencing a strange problem.The site is both in English and Italian: I worked first on the english version, I modified the AS code for the new .txt file and then I saved the project with another name and translated all the text into Italian.I also changed the name of the external .txt file as well as all the page links contained therein.Problem is when I click a page link in the Italian version of the site, the links are the same of the English version; seems like the .swf file "remembers" the old links just as I never changed the file name.This is the "_urls_IT.txt" file:
I have a flash movie that connects to xml, php etc and uses absolute path. The file works perfectly fine on any browser on my mac but doesn't work at all if I am using my windows (none of the browsers seem to be working) This is the way I'm loading stuff: editorXML.load"); [URL] } I don't know now, maybe I should use ' instead of " for this example.
I am doing a dynamical menu they are scroll, with links, I am using asfunction. If I call an external swf:
[Code]....
But, How I do to accede to a specific label of an external swf?? I want that it loads the animation and begin to it turns from the label that I indicate.
I am trying to create html links from a external xml file to be dynamically added to a text field (im using flash builder)the process i am having trouble is: -Loading an external swf which contains the textfield loading external xml which contains the cdata with links adding the cdata to the htmltext property of the textfield the link is showing correctly, the mouse turns into a hand... but when i click on the link it doesnt work. i have seen a few forum posts similar to this problem but all are using textfield control in flash builder but im trying to add the cdata into an externally loaded swf which holds the textfield.
I am having a nightmare using CSS to style HTML within a dynamic textfield in my flash doc. From what i now understand after much trial and error and reading online, CSS doesn't even work properly in flash even for the tags that it does understand (which are few and far between anyway). For some reason my layout is getting completely screwed up in certain scenarios (predominantly when there are images present too) when i hover over links (which are styled in an external CSS file). If i remove the external CSS styling (which only contains the following simple code):
Then everything works fine (but no links are underlined as standard or on hover). Does anyone know of any way to style the links without using an external CSS file (all i want to do is have no underline as standard and then underline them on hover). As this is from user input into a text editor I cannot place these links manually on the page in flash as they could be anywhere, I need a way of parsing the HTML and then displaying it accordingly.
