Flash Control HTML BG Image
Can Flash control the bg image on a HTML page? I basically have 6 menu items within Flash and when the user clicks on a new button, I want the bg to change, the bg is inside a the HTML page... I realise I could just add the bg image to the Flash file, but want to keep the combo of HTML and Flash... Any ideas?

Control Flash From HTML
Hi all,

I've been trying to find a solution, but nothing seems possible. Here is the problem. I now I can use flash to give commands to the HTML page using Javascript (FSCommnad). Now I want to know if there is anyway to use HTML to give a command to the FLASH when an event happens.

I want to know if this is possible, and if yes, how?

If there is anything that I need to post to give you more information, just post.

Thanks in advance

HTML Control With Flash
Hi Everybody!

I've built a naviagation system which has buttons that slide in/out onto the stage area.

I'd like to combine HTML to hold the information in the site with Flash to control it.

What commands do I need to load an HTML page from a button in Flash?

Also, how do i position the HTML? Do i need to use a table and specify which cell is to be used?

Thanks for your help.

HTML Control Flash
Hi,

Here is the case I got few domains pointing to the same page
containing flash movie.. for example domain1 and domain2
I want to be able to when people access domain2
to tell flash to open "services" page instead of about us.

So I thought if I setup differenet html pages containing the same flash file - index.html and index2.html...
and when user accesses domain2 I can call and get index2.html page to send variable which flash movie can check (if(statement) and then open "services".

How can I get html to send variable to this flash movie ???
I can get it to play() stop() but sending variables didn't work ...

function PlayFlashMovie()
{
var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("main");
flashMovie.Stop(); // this works
flashMovie.myVariable = 2; //this variable doesn't get passed...

}

Or any other ideas how this can be done ?

Flash Scroll Bar To Control HTML

How Do I Control A Flash Movie In HTML
How do I control a flash movie in HTML in a different frame.

I understand I may need to do a little JavaScript, but I don’t really understand it, so could you tell me exactly what I need to put in and where...!

When a HTML page loads I want it to change the text in a dynamic text box within my flash movie

There are two ways in which I could do it:

1: Put the script into the HTML page, so when the html page loads it performs the action

2: Or if its easier, i would put another flash movie into that html page with code within the actionscript. If I were to do this, the actionscript I want to write is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{tellTarget (mymovie.swf) urlpagename = "home";}

urlpagename being the name of the dynamic text box

But obviously that does not work

Help me please...!! I’ve been searching website after website all day and my head hurts!

HTML Able To Control Flash Menu?
I would like to have a flash menu, with sub sections to each link. And have that menu embedded on an HTML page.

Generally, when a link is clicked on the flash menu, and you go the the selected page, the Flash menu "refreshes" .

I am wondering if there is some kind of way to have the HTML page have coding or a language, or something, to be able to control the Flash menu...to have it be at a specific frame (in flash), or to use more ActionScripting, to have the Flash menu be "open" to the sub section of the specific link that the HTML page is on.

Does that make sense?

Control Flash With Html Links
Hello, I'm new to this forum, so I may be posting this in the wrong category, but here goes.

I have a series of swfs, same dimensions, that I would like to toggle through on one html page. I would like to have one swf as the default and a series of html links beside it that when clicked load another swf into the same location as the default swf.

What kind of code needs to be applied to the html links? Is that the best way to go about it?

Thanks!

Html To Control Flash (workaround)
i know the topic of controlling an swf file from it's parent html page has been discussed plenty on these forums, and the most common method seems to be the use of javascript to send variables to the flash movie (ie. http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...fm?id=tn_15683 ). my question is, is anyone aware of any alternate methods or workarounds that might exist to allow cross platform compatability (as i have yet to see a method that works on macs). for example using hidden fields in the html or having flash read data/variables from it's parent html/javascript - rather than have the javascript send the data to the flash movie (then it seems it would be possible to have a clip that watches the javascript variables and make changes to the flash movie based on those changes). i'm just interested in controlling the timeline of a simple flash animation (basically just gotoAndPlay(frameName)) ... so a constant onEnterFrame function watching for changes in the javascript variables wouldn't be too processor intensive for my purposes. my only other option is to create swf files for each link in the html and replacing any anchored elements with these buttons (one for each section) and using a local connection between movies. thanks for any help in advance.

Flash - Html Page Control Problem
I have using Flash 5 for a couple of days but I have hit the brick wall and it hurts !!!

I have created a flash movie with 2 scenes.
The final frame of scene2 includes buttons to call HTML pages using action script get URL statements.
If I open a new window using "blank" property, control returns to the final frame of my movie when the HTML window is closed.
However, if I load the HTML page in the current window (which I want), then when the "back" option is used, the WHOLE movie is loaded in the current window, when I want to return to the final frame on scene 2, to enable the user to choose another option.
If there anyway around this ?

thanks in advance

Thanks very much for any advice.
