Flash :: Can Flash Change HTML Bg Image?

[CS3] How Do I Change The HTML Background Image From Flash?
Hi,

I'm new to the whole forum thing, but i'm running out of ideas of how to resolve this issue.

I've created a transparent flash movie, for a new portfolio website. I've dropped it into an html page with a full bg image (2000x1500) but i want to change the html bg image each time i click on a new area of the flash movie.

Can this be done? I know it requires javascript and actionscript, but as a designer i am having a real hard time trying to find any solutions or understanding any code thats out there.

Please help if you can...

Cheers in advance.

Change Html Image Via Actionscript
Hi there, I have a problem about changing a particular html image via actionscript, anyone know know? thanks very much.

Background Color Change From Swf To HTML-image
I've been having problems with some color changes.

The background picture in the flash movie has a color which is similar to that of a picture that lies in a scaleable HTML-table beside the swf in the indexpage.

The problem is that on lowres/low color monitors, you can see the transition from swf to the HTML table. There's a slight color change that is only visible on low color monitors.

How can I avoid that? Does anybody know that...

Can I Dynamically Change An Image In A Flash Movie
i have a database of images and i want to apply a magnifying glass effect to the entire series, idealy i will not have to create a flash movie for each but rather pass some variable somehow that just calls the necessary image out of the database and places itself into the flash movie. Anyone got any ideas?

Flash 5 - Change Image Possition On(release)
i have a navigation bar that has a box that goes around the last selected link. so, assuming the links range from 'link 1' to 'link 6' (meaning i have six links total), i'd like to make it so that when a person clicks one of the links, the box moves from its previous location to the link they clicked on. sounds simple, right?

i thought so. i just don't know that much about actionscript, and i can't find any particular tutorial that fits my needs. so, i figured i'd come and see what you all had to say about it.

thanks bunches.

XML/Flash Slideshow - Change Hyperlink For Each Image?
Hi there,

I'm new to these forums and to Flash in general so my apologies in advance if I leave something important out of my questions. I've used the excellent tutorial at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20..._slideshow.htm to create a slideshow from an XML file generated by PHP/MySQL. I've successfully managed to add a couple extra text fields, but I would also really like to be able to have the viewer directed to a different link depending on what image is clicked. Is this possible? So far, I've only been able to get clicking to open a link by putting the following on the movie:

Code:
on (release){
getURL("http://www.mysite.com/", "_blank");
}
Can anyone give me a pointer as to how I can change that URL with a field from the XML file with the change of image?

[F8] Need To Change Html Page Title From Within Flash App
Does anyone know how to change the html page/browser title from with a flash file. When a user clicks on the nav I'd like to set the page title to "Home, About Us, etc..."

What I'm trying to do is change the title of the html page dynamically from within my flash app. I've gotten it to work on FireFox using javascript but for some reason it doesn't work in IE. Code being used that doesn't work in IE:

Does anyone know why this isn't working or of another better method (that's simple)?

Any help with this will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Change Html Checkbox Value From Flash Button.
Hey, everyone! I am not very familiar with Flash at all, but I am a skilled programmer. I inherited a project where there's a flash map of a city divided into neighborhoods. Each neighborhood is selectable. When clicking on a neighborhood, a corresponding html form checkbox on the page OUTSIDE of the flash becomes checked. I don't have the original flash fla source file. So, I am going to make a copy of a map with some added neighborhoods. But, I have no idea how to connect the clicking of a flash button to those checkboxes.

If anyone could help me through this, I would be very appreicative!

Thanks!

Printing From Flash Sites - Should I Change To Html?
Hi all

I'm doing a site for a model:

http://www.laurenelise.designreel.com

under construction at the mo

in the portfolio section with the images I need it so that the images can be seen bigger and also printed straight from the site.

Having thought about this I think I should place each pic in a HTML page and then link it externally so the user can click file print.

would this be the best way to go about it?

Change Html Background With Flash Button
I've found a few scripts but none seem to work for me. This tutorial does it- http://www.echoecho.com/flashjavascript.htm But it seems to be a bit beyond me. I tried but no go. Anyone know of any simpler ways to do it and work in multiple browsers? I'm on a Mac and the above site worked in Firefox and Safari.

Another site that does it- http://www.philipharvey.com . Click on a tab and the background changes color.

Telling HTML To Change Variable In Flash
I have a flash navigation on a HTML file, how can I tell dreamweaver to change a variable inside flash, to tell the flash navigation where to go when loads.

I have my variable on the first frame of flash, on root level, something like this:

selectedClip = _root.home;

This make a clip go to the Home button. And I want the HTML to change this variable when it loads and tell the flash movie:

selectedClip = _root.contact;

This will make the movie clip to go to the Contact button, when the contact.html loads.

Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver or with HTML or JavaScript?

Thanks

Flash 8 - Change Image To Black And White And Blur
Hello, I am trying to change an image to black and white plust blur it just a little all at the same time with actionscript. I have an image on the stage name "mc" and 2 buttons. The 1st button changes the picture, the 2nd reverts the picture back to the original state.

The trouble I am having is I cannot get the two filters to work at the same time. I am not what is wrong with it.. I commented the blur part so the color adjust works.

Any ideas??? Here is the my code:

stop();
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.filters.BitmapFilter;
import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
//
var mc:MovieClip;
var blurX:Number = 0;
var blurY:Number = 0;
var quality:Number = 3;
var desaturation:Number = 0;
//
function mcChange() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (desaturation<=0) {
des = 0.025;
} else if (desaturation>=1) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
desaturation += des;
var fColorMatix:ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter();
mc.filters = new Array(getDesaturationFilter(desaturation));
//blurX++;
//blurY++;
//var imageBlur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(blurX, blurY, quality);
//mc.filters = [imageBlur];
};
}
//
function mcRevert() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (desaturation<=0) {
des = 0;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
desaturation -= des;
mc.filters = new Array(getDesaturationFilter(desaturation));
//blurX--;
//blurY--;
//var imageBlur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(blurX, blurY, quality);
//mc.filters = [imageBlur];
};
}
//
function getDesaturationFilter(t:Number):BitmapFilter {
t = t ? t : 1;
var r = 0.212671;
var g = 0.715160;
var b = 0.072169;
return new ColorMatrixFilter([t*r+1-t, t*g, t*b, 0, 0, t*r, t*g+1-t, t*b, 0, 0, t*r, t*g, t*b+1-t, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0]);
}
//
change_btn.onPress = function() {
mcChange();
};
//

Change Image Number Area: XML/Flash Photo Gallery
I'm following the tutorial for the Photo Gallery using Flash and XML, but I'm wondering how I can customise the number area.

I'd like it to be set out like this:

I prefer the layout with the current image number on top of the total image number (rather than the 2 / 4 format).
How can I customise the ActionScript code so that it works in this format (eg: this is set up using two dynamic text boxes- one for each number)

I've been following the tutorial but I'm not sure how to implement this change.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Newbie Question: Can An Html Link Change A Flash Movie Clip?
I was wondering if it is possible on a page to click an html link and make a movie clip in flash change.

For instance, you have a music website with links across the top including news and pictures. In the news section you want to include a link to the pictures section, but you want the flash background to change like it would if you clicked on the pictures button within the flash nav. Is that even possible? I hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Change Width - Height In Flash Movie According To Html Window Size
I know how to change the flash movie to fit all screen in the browser window using WIDTH="100%" and HEIGHT="100%"

But! How to make it like this side: http://www.ego7.com/

In that site the width and height is 100% but the content in the flash movie is the same width all the time. The only thing that changes is the background of the flashmovie. The background is getting scaled in height, how is this possible?

When i try to do this it scales my whole movie.

How Do You Change The Shape Of An Image And The Image Looks Proportionally Modified?
I want to be able to distort an image and for it to look in perspective to the shape. Like a normal picture of a boat and when I distort/reshape it into a circle, it looks like a picture of a boat thru a fish eye lens.

I also want to use this in tween.

eg.
from a hexigon to a rectangle.

Using Flash In HTML, Alt-image?
Currently, I'm using flash for a navigation bar on a otherwise HTML only page. The owner doesn't wish the entire site to be in Flash and also wants non-flash compatability. Is there a way using dreamweaver, frontpage, or some HTML code that would allow me to display an image or possibly even an image-mapped graphic if the user doesn't have flash installed.

I suppose there would be a way to change the content if I ran a javascript to check for the exsistance of the plugin but I havn't explored Javascript plug-in checks for a long time.

HTML With Image And Flash
Hi, I have a Flash file with the following code in it:

Code:
// Create a new style sheet object and set styles for it.
var styles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet ();
styles.setStyle ("html",{fontFamily:'Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif', fontSize:'12px', color:'#0000FF'});
styles.setStyle ("body",{color:'#00CCFF'});
styles.setStyle ("h1",{fontFamily:'Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif', fontSize:'24px', color:'#006600'});
styles.setStyle ("p",{color:'#000000', fontSize:'14px'});
styles.setStyle ("a",{color:'#0000FF', fontSize:'14px', fontWeight:'bold', textDecoration:'underline'});
//
/* Assign the style sheet object to myTextArea component. Set html property to true, set styleSheet property to the style sheet object. */
myTextArea.styleSheet = styles;
myTextArea.html = true;
myTextArea.focusTextField = null;
//

var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
// Define onData handler and load text to be displayed.
myVars.onData = function (myStr:String):Void {
if (myStr != undefined) {
myTextArea.text = myStr;
} else {
trace ("Unable to load text file.");
}
};
//
myVars.load ("references.htm");
//
THEN, I have the file references.htm to be loaded:

Code:
Text text text. [<img src='images/imagepopup.gif' width='15' height='15' vspace='0' hspace='0'/><a href="http://www.cnn.com" target="_blank">Link to CNN</a>]
The problem is that the image that is in the HTML code does not appear in the same line with the text (inside the []). Instead, it appears in a line below.

It looks like this:
Text text text.
[Link]
Image

But it should look like this:
Text text text.
[Image Link]

Is there anything wrong with the code? Please advice.
Thanks,
