Html Links Are Not Clickable Under Flash
I have a drop down navigation in flash. The wmode is set to transparent. The flash layer is the top layer so when you mouse over the navigation, it covers the html underneath. The flash navigation links work, but the html links only work in the newer IE browsers. The links do not work on a Mac in Safari, Mozilla or Firefox. Is there any way to get the links under Flash to work in the other browsers?

Flash Chat Clickable Links.
Hey, I am using a chat script that I downloaded from here:

TUTORIAL LINK: http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/flash_chat/ (script can be downloaded for free without signing up at the end of the tutorial)

This script is very basic (and I like it because it IS basic) but I would like to add a feature that will make it more convenient to use. Before I say anything let me tell you how the script works:

User A types and sends a message in flash
flash sends message to read.php
write.php sends the message to mysql db
read.php checks db for new messages and sends to flash
flash displays it to the user

Very simple and basic.

Right now if you type in a URL it sends it to the database exactly how to user has typed it. No HTML formatting. I would like to make it so that it IS html formatted. I have wrote a function in write.php so if it recognizes a URL it sends it to the database in HTML format. So if someone types:

http://google.com

it would go into the database as


HTML Code:
<a href="http://google.com">http://google.com</a>
Now the problem for me is my huge lack of knowledge in Flash. The flash displays this text AS IS without parsing the html. So the end user sees the HTML and not the clickable link.

I have done some research on google and I have read to click the icon that says render as HTML. The icon is already clicked. I am kind of stumped. It is a very basic flash file and I am sure any of you here can understand it since I was able to understand atleast some of it with my limited skills.

If anyone can help me out here it would be a HUGE favor. Thank you so much for your time!

[F8] BitmapData + Transparency + Non Clickable
Hi,

I have a Flash movie that loads a png that contains transparency into a movieclip, which I then 'replicate' into a BitmapData version (and draw it into a new movieclip), and erase the original png... I have all of that working properly... but I have it coded so that the newly created movieclip is dragable, and my problem is that I don't want the user to click a transparent area of the movieClip, and be able to drag it...I only want them to be able to click on the parts that have actual pixels. So for example, if the image was of the letter 'C', I don't want the user to be able to click into the empty space in the middle of the letter and be able to drag it... I only want it draggable when the actually letter is clicked.

This is important, as at times there will be multiple different images on top of each other, and so say the letter 'C' was onto of a rectangle, I would like the user to be able to click the empty space in the middle of the 'C' and select the rectangle below it. Right now when I go to do that, the 'C' is automatically selected.

Any ideas? If further clarification is needed, please just let me know.

Thanks!

Cannot Click On The Form Fields Or Links With Flash Transparency
I created a menu in Flash that sits within a layer. This layer sits on top of the page so that I can create a menu in Flash and use transparency. The problem is that none of the links or form fields can be clicked on since the layer is covering them. This issue is very visiable in Firefox or Netscape (in addition to IE). Does anyone have any suggestion on how to resolve this? You can see the menu by going to : http://www.henriemedia.com/projects/hireexpectation/

Any help would be appreciated!

Making A Datagrid With Clickable Links

Links Form Text File Not Clickable
I have created this link

<A HREF="javascriptpen_window('http://www.website.com/index.cfm%3Fid=161%26page_id2093')"></a>

in a text file and loading that txt file into flash. Here is the problem. Using IE 5.5 most of the computers work, but on others the text link doesn't work. I seem to have narrowed it down to the problem being the javascript function. When I use just a straight forward URL it works , but when I have the "javascriptpen_window(' . . . . " it seems to work on some computers, but not others. I know that I have to use URL encoding for special characters, but that I have already done for the "?" and the "&" in the url string so that is working fine. I am just really puzzled by why it works on some computers and not others. Anyone out there feel my pain? Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Problem With Clickable Links Within RollOver MovieClips
Hi, hope someone can help!
I'm designing a Flash interface for the homepage of a site, with links to a number of HTML pages. The problem is these links are held in a number of different rollOver movieClips. And these movieClips expand over another movieClip when they're rolled over. Each of the movieClips has links. I can get all the menu movieClips to expand on rollOver, but when the mouse moves over the text links within the rollOver the menus collapse as it thinks the mouse has rolledOut. My code in the main timeline looks like this…
b5_mc.b4_mc.onRollOver = over2;
b5_mc.b4_mc.onRollOut = out2;

function over2() {
_level0.b5_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

function out2() {
_level0.b5_mc.gotoAndPlay(11);
}

where b5_mc is the movieClip for the menu and b4_mc is an invisible button inside b5_mc which acts as the target area for the rollOver.

the flash movie as it is and the .fla file are here…

How To Load Clickable Links From External Text File

Make TextField Clickable Links To _blank Instead Of _self?
I have a movie that contains a TextField object set to show HTML, which can contain some URLs. When a user clicks on a URL, I want the new page to open up in a new window (or tab), instead of always in _self, which of course replaces the movie. I've trace'd the htmlText contents, and see TARGET="" where it's building the clickable links, which I assume the browsers interpret as the same thing as _self. Is there some better way to change the target for any URLs, short of doing a search and replace of the htmlText field?

Thanks for any help, this one has stymied me for months and will prevent a lot of likely tech support headaches when we release this applet into the wild.

Clickable Links Not Working Inside Of Pull Down Slider
Hi All,

I built a pull down slider box that works using the mouseover events. However, the link I put in the slider box won't work... perhaps because I'm tieing up the mouseover events with an on(rollout) command... I dono... but I don't see a way around this.

My .FLA file is here: http://dev.sheridan.edu/Test/Slider/...own_puller.fla


Any suggestions?

Ive uploaded a zip file containing fla and swf i found which shows vertical scrolling text. However if i move any of the graphics and text field clips around the stage the text cannot be seen anymore. why is this? can you put all of the items on the main stage in a movie clip so i can resize and move the scroller around the stage?? I tried this but again the text disapeared when i exported the movie? Is this due to the x + y co ordinates in the scripting?

How can you adjust the size of this scroller without this happening?

Can the scrolling text be taken from an external file and each line of text be a seperate hyperlink?

HTML Links Clickable In .swf, Not In .html Template
I'm trying to pull in an HTML feed from one of our Web sites and display it in another with Flash CS3. Yes I know it's not ideal, but anyway it seemed to be working fine. When I hit the .swf directly, the content loads and the links are clickable.

However, when I view the .swf through the .html template generated by Flash, the links are dead (both on the site itself and locally). The pointer changes to a hand, but nothing happens when you click them.

Any ideas?

Stacking Thumbnails In From XML In Flash?
I have this simple xml photogallery script. I have 6 thumbnails and want to stack them 2 thumbnails in each row - giving me a stack of three rows (two thumbnails in each row).

Can somebody tell me how I can do this? I'm kind of stuck....

Here is my code in the flash piece ------ //

myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {

numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
spacing = 70;
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
this.picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes[i];
this.thumbHolder = thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
this.thumbHolder._x = i*spacing;
this.thumbLoader = this.thumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_i mage", 0);
this.thumbLoader.loadMovie(this.picHolder.attribut es.thmb);
this.thumbHolder.title = this.picHolder.attributes.title;
this.thumbHolder.main = this.picHolder.attributes.main;
this.thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadMovie(this.main);
title_txt.text = this.title;
};
}
};
myPhoto.load("xmlphoto.xml");

Any guidance would be great. Thanks in advance.

Make Clickable Movieclip Un-clickable
I'm working on the card matching game from flashgameu, in which a deck of cards with pairs of identical cards are layed out face down and the player selects pairs in an attempt to match them. (Same project as in a post from last night.)

The project is originally set up such that, when two selected cards match, they are removed from the stage. I changed this a bit -- I leave the cards in place, and change their alpha to 0.25.

The problem is that simply changing the alpha value and keeping them on the stage maintains the player's ability to click them. When clicked, they turn back over.

I want to take these matched cards "out of play" somehow while keeping them on the stage.

Here's the code:


Code:

My first thought is that maybe? the card can be converted from a movieclip to a simple graphic? A bitmap? I have no experience with this so I don't know if it's possible. Perhaps the answer is much simpler. But I'm at a loss.

Thanks,

Stacking Order Of Flash Movies In Html
Hi all,

I'm using a dropdown menu (created with NavStudio) on a site that also contains one flash element on the side. One section of the dropdown menu overlaps the flash movie, but the movie seems to have precendence, and covers the dropdown menu where it overlaps.

How can I bring the dropdown menu to the front and send the flash movie to the back? I couldn't see any script in the <object> tags for the swf that affects it's stacking order in html.

Is there a little piece of code to look for in my js files for the dropdown that affects its stacking order?

Thanks

3D In Flash - Animatee Stacking Boxes - Where To Start?
Hello all -

I have been assigned to create a flash animation for a website that animates 3d boxes stacking together to make the client's logo. I have very BASIC flash knowledge so I'm wondering where would be the best to start. For example, would it be easier to just animate this frame by frame, or to download a 3D program to use and export for flash? I looked into Swift 3D but the issue is...this is a volunteer project and I don't have a budget to download software. I was thinking about trying to learn Blender...

Anyway, I've found myself super overwhelmed and I'm wondering if anyone here can provide some help!

Reset Stacking Order Depths? (Flash MX)
Is there anyway to reset the stacking order depths in Flash MX (i.e., let Flash figure out how to arrange stacking of static text boxes, input text boxes, and buttons)? Or to have each item be given a unique position in the stacking order?

My problem is that I have several static/input text boxes and one button in a frame that are not showing up when I test the movie. I was thinking that this might because I unwittingly "Sent all to Back". Is there a fix for this? I'm not sure why else they would not display in the movie test.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Clickable Flash
I have hundreds of swfs. I want to have it enlarged on its click which will be displayed on the other page. I need to have a plus icon floating on the small swf. I need to do all these without modifying the fla file. So, I need a preloader or a small player/container in which the script is attached for enlarging into other page.

This is similar to youtube style, youtube is making use of videos whereas i have plain swfs to be displayed.

Will somebody help me out?

Clickable Flash Banner
Hello all,

I want to make a clickable Flash banner in an html page. I can make the mbanner clickable with an invisible button within the movie but what I really want to do is set the href location in my html so I can change it when ever I want to.

Hello All,

I'm using a piece of code in a banner ad I'm working on that would normally look like this:

Notice the .asp call to pull a search term using the variable "term" on an .asp page. The problem is that I have been having a hard time making flash clickable. I can create an alpha 0% button but then I need to pass the the varible "term" into the actionscript using the getURL function. Can this be done? I'm assuming actionscript has escape characters just like the <% %> tags in .asp but I can't find them.

Any Takers???

How Do I Make A Flash Banner Clickable?
After having Flash MX installed on my PC for about 1 year and a half I finally dediced to really try to learn Flash. For the first time today I learned how to use frames and layers, very different to Paint Shop Pro and Fireworks. I have a banner with motion tweens that I want to put on my site and I want to make it clickable, meaning that when users click on the banner they are taken to the page I specify. I clicked on the actions windows and can't see where should I start... I inserted getURL and every time I view the banner it automatically takes me to the URL I entered.

How do I make a banner clickable?

Clickable Enter Button In Flash
Hi There;
Still new, still learning.

I created a flash intro page for a website, it is beautiful thanks to the help from Ted_Meister and Lem.

Now my last layer has a button on it that comes from the bottom of the screen and travels to the center under everything else. I want to be able to make this button so the visitor can click on it once it ends its travel. Then when clicked on it will take you to the next page of the website like index2.html. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

How To Make Flash Banner Clickable?
I'm using AdButler and trying to add a flash skyscraper. The code it is generating is:

Code:
<embed width=120 height=600 href='<*tracking_link*>' src='http://www.sports-central.org/images/gamedayritual_sky2.swf' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'>
I added the "href" part, and the <*tracking_link*> is AdButler-specific and should work. How do I make this flash code clickable? When I hover my mouse over it, it displays the address, but nothing happens when you click it!

Thanks for your help...

Make Flash Banner Clickable
How can I do this?

Im using Flash MX 2004 and make a flash of 468x60
then I add a text
then I add (on a different layer above the text) as transparent box.
for the keyframe of that box I enter the actionscript:
on(release){
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");
}

Yet, the swf when publishing or even testing the movie, is not clickable... what am I doing wrong?

---

Page 2 - Clickable Flash Menus
thats just a variable I created... its used to keep track what the current button is.

You will see that in every on(release) function I reassign _global.currentButton a new value to reflect that the current button is now the button you just clicked on.

Make A Flash Banner Clickable Externally (not Inside The Flash)
Hi,

I have flash banners (just graphic with no url hard-coded).

I wanted to make it work with openX ads system but it seems to be able to replace a URL only if there's already some URL hard-coded in there (and not if it's only graphic)

At the moment i can't edit the flash (my flasher is away for 2 weeks and i have only the .swf) and i must make it work somehow meanwhile...

How can i make it work (maybe html code banner with a param something that make the whole banner clickable with a URL - is it possible) ?

Or some JS or other HTML code that make it possible to set a URL i want the banner will link to without editing the flash itself.

Thanks
