Flash Menu With Multiple HTML Pages - How To Pass Variable To Menu On Refresh?
please note this topic is also posted at AS under this title:
Flash Menu 4 HTML pages - pass variables on page refresh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So the subject is a hint as to how hard it is to search on this simple idea.

Will be very greatful for some help today!

PROBLEM DETAILS:
I am building a swf menu for an HTML site. It has the following buttons:

SectionA

SectionB

SectionC

What I want to do is modify the text when the HTML page for the correspoding section is loaded. So, if I click on "SectionB", SectionB.html loads. Now I want that button "SectionB" in the swf to have a background glow.

Of course the catch is, that each time a new HTML page loads, it reloads the swf menu (No Frames please!). So, naturally I know I can just tell the swf menu to go to a certain place in the timeline where there is the glow graphic behind "SectionB". But the swf needs a variable saying it is on a Section B HTML page. (of course I could build a seperate swf for each section - but that seems stupid.)

THUS....

MY QUESTION:
How do I pass a variable from a swf on one HTML page (that is being replaced by a new HTML page!), to a swf on a new HTML page.

Can I do this with a GET/POST or something?

Thanks!

Getting Flash To Load HTML Pages Into Iframes In A Seperate HTML Page
Hi everybody

Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm currently running an animation within a webpage, and my client would like to be able to have some captions in HTML on the page that go with specific parts of the animation.

He wants the captions done in seperate HTML pages so that they can be changed into different languages at a later date.

I am loading these captions (HTML pages) into <iframes> on the page.

So far so good..... however...

I need to be able to get flash to load the HTML pages into the <iframes>, in certain points within the animation.

So... Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm guessing getURL is used somewhere, but I don't know the exact code.

Hope you can help!

Please Help Can I Pass A Variable Between 2 Swf's That Are On Different Html Pages?
Hey,

Does anyone know how to pass a variable (string) from one swf to another if there in separate html pages?

I assume Iâ€™d have to send the variable from the first page and load it into the second but I donâ€™t know what functions or code I should be using. Any suggestions would be a HUGE help.
Thanks

If it helps: Iâ€™m creating a log in and sign up sheet that can be accessed from several sites. Iâ€™d like to record which site the user has come from when they signup.

Thanks

Flash Menu That Remembers Selected Position After Page Refresh?
Hi guys,

Im currently making a site in Mambo CMS, and this time I would like to include a custom menu I have made. Problem with mambo is that it refreshed the page after each new page and that refreshes the flash movie. Is there a way to make flash remember what was selected so I can have that menu item selected once the new page is loaded?

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Pass A Variable From Flash With Java To Html Page?
I know this is possible without ASP or anything.

Basically I want the user to enter their name into a text field in a flash movie, click a button and this opens up an html page with the message "hello [NAME]". Thats basically it, I can do it with ASP but this needs to work locally so I guess Java is the way to go.

Pass An Email (constant) From My Flash Page To Someone Elses HTML Site
Ive tried having a look for this but had trouble coming up with keyowrds so i hope it hasnt been asked before.

On my flash site, i have a page describing how a user can send us a file using www.yousendit.com. This is something where someone can send big files to an email address, which the recipeint can then download later.

Currently, i have a button that opens a new browser page on top of the site that simply links to yousendit. The user then has to copy type my email address into the box, from the flash site. I would like to cut this bit out and hence was wondering if i could somehow pass the yousendit page my email so it automatically loads in the send to box on the youesndit page, just to avoid making the user copy the email.
Im using MX professh.
That was difficult to explain! Thanks alot for any help

Sending Variables Over Pages Of Html Containing Flash
Hi all, I am doing a flash project, and decided to use multi html page as the container of the swf because I want the back button on the browser to work normally. I know there are tricks to enable back button correctly throughout one swf using hidden frames and java, but I want to explore the standard multi html way. So, my question is, is it possible to transfer variable from one flash file on a HTML page to another ? the link will open in the same page, so, I think the variable should be defined in the HTML, which can be controlled thru PHP /other backend (so when a link is clicked in flash, it will send data to a PHP and return it to _self). Does anyone know how flash can read vars from the HTML it is contained in ? Any suggestion will be great! Thanks!

[F8] Passing Variables Between Flash Menu And ASP Pages
I want to upgrade an ASP website that has a collapsable/expanding vertical flash menu.

Currently, after you choose the sub-nav button, the navigation collapses. But i would like it to remember the state of branches, so that when they load another page or return to the page, the menu is still expanded to the same state as before. Anyone know a script that will communicate this variable between flash and ASP? or another approach?

HTML Pages With Flash Menu
Hello everyone... i need some help

I am currently working on a html site with a flash menu on top.
I used 2 frames, the top frame with the flash menu, and the second one is the content. the buttons from flash tells the second frame what external html file to load. second frame has it's own scroll bar, so the flash menu always stays on the stage while i scroll the second frame.

Everything works fine except i want a single scroll bar for the entire site...
like here... http://www.thelastgoodnight.net/

ok i'm very new to html (i'm more of a flash developer), but i tried different techinques and nothing seems to work... (i tried percentage sizes when defining the frameset, doesnt work)
any suggestions would be gladly apreciated

thank you

Help With Menu And Loading Html Pages With Flash
if you go to wizradio.com and click on the searchbar, you will get a page with bars on it. I'm redoing the site and I still want to keep the searchbar in flash BUT, the page where it shows the bars I will now do in HTML. So my issue is, what code will I use if someone selects Hartford so it loads the bottom half of the site (where the bars show) as an HTML page instead of flash which the whole site currently is ?

code is:
states.setDataProvider(states_array);
function changeDetectedStates() {
if (states.getValue() != "Select a State:") {
selectedstate = states.getValue();
trace(selectedstate);
cities.setDataProvider(this[this.selectedstate]);
}
}
function changeDetectedCities() {
if (cities.getValue() != "Select a City:") {
selectedstateandcity = "You have selected "+cities.getValue();
}
// add _root
_root.gotoAndStop(cities.getValue());
}
stop();

Flash Menu Targets Html Pages
Hi,

I'm trying to create an HTML page that is controlled by a flash menu. The buttons are animated so when the mouse is over it changes colour and when clicked they stay in that colour until another button is clicked. I've sorted the actual interaction between the buttons, now I need to know how can the buttons target different pages so the corresponding button stays "down" when the page is displayed.

Thanks,

Navigating Through Html Pages With Flash Menu
Hi!
I'm quite new to flash, went over different forums and tutorials but didn't find concrete solution. Problem:
btn menu built in flash contains animated mc_buttons that change states (from original "up") on onRollOver, onRollOut and "down". How do I keep the selected button on "down" state once I selected (released) it and html page has loaded.
I know it has to do with variables sent from html, for examle if variable selected1 is sent, than selected btn1_mc stays in "down" state.
I put actionscript on invisible_btn inside btn_mc:

ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {
if(clicked!= true)
gotoAndPlay("over");
}
on (rollOut){
if(clicked!= true)
gotoAndPlay("out");
}
on (release){
gotoAndStop("down");
clicked = true;
getUrl (_root.link1, "_parent");
}
Thanks,
Grega

Flash Menu Causes Html Pages To Jump
I have inserted a flash menu into the html pages in my website. I am using the same swf file and ebedding a variable name in each page eg. "menu.swf?x=about".
I then use a conditional statement in the actionscript to determine which page i am on eg
else if (x == "about")
{
mc_menu.home.scaleX = -49.3;
mc_menu.about._alpha = 50;
}........
All is working well except when you click a button to change html pages - the page flashes and jumps. Also in IE i have to click the button twice.
The code behind the button is;
on (release) {
getURL("index.html");
}
I would appreciate any help!

Flash Menu Across Multiple HTML Pages
I'd like to create a Flash menu with sections that open and close to reveal or hide subsections when the user clicks on them. So far, that's easy enough.

The tricky part, though, is that I'd like to use the menu in a hybrid Flash-HTML site, and have the menu "remember" which sections are closed and which are open across multiple pages.

In other words, if the user clicks on section1 in Flash menu on page1, I'd like that section1 to be already open on page2.

I know it would easy placing the Flash menu in a HTML frame, but I don't want to use frames.

Any idea, suggestion, or example from all the Flash gurus out there would be immensely appreciated.

Passing HTML Form And Hidden Variables From Flash To Html Page
Hi,

I have a html/flash site now, http://www.zachariack.com.

i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire
<form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window.

now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

<form name="form1" action="http://www.accudatanet.com/mail/msglist.php" method=post>
<input type="hidden" name=sid value="E9697301F704A0CE947DEF42CF86636A">
<input type=text size=15 name=f_user value="">
<input type=hidden name=six value=0>
<input type=password size=15 name="f_pass">
<input type=submit name=submit value="Login >>" class="button">
</form>

how do i implement the above using action scripting. thanks.

Pass Var From SWF To SWF In A Different HTML Page?
I have a Flash nav shared by 50 html pages. When I click the nav I'd like to keep track of a variable to use in the next html page (which uses the same Flash nav.)

Sounds like localConnect can do it but haven't seen a sample sharing info between the same SWF in different HTML pages.

I'm not using Frames, so the same nav SWF gets loaded each page.

How Can I Pass Variables From JavaScript To AS3 AFTER My Page Has Already Loaded?
Hi all..

With AS2 I could do this by simply setting variables in JS like this :

Code:

window.document.movie.SetVariable("passedVar1", 17);
And then in my flash I would listen for a change in that specific variable using :

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myTextField.text = _root.passedVar1;
}
And this worked fine. Now with AS3 it doesn't work at all. I've been reading and trying to find a solution and I can't seem to find any progress!

I already know how to pass variables to my flash at runtime, that isn't a problem at all. But I want to trigger events using html elements such as buttons or links with onclick commands that will send a command to my flash via javascript. So I need to figure out how to do that, and also how to create a listener that actively listens for changes in certain variables and when it detects a change it can execute a function of my choosing.

Could anyone please spare me a few minutes of their time to explain how this can be achieved using Flash CS3 and AS3 ?

Thank you very much

Swf Only Loads External Jpgs On Html Page Refresh
hi all

i am having a really odd problem.

i have created some code that loads 60 jpg files into individual mcs - there's a listener involved that updates a counter so it knows when all 60 are loaded.

the odd thing that is happening is that when the html page first loads (actually it's php) the swf begins and displays the loading mc (which isn't actually monitoring anything) but doesn't continue.
if i refresh the page then it loads and the images load in properly.

i'm stumped.

any idea why that might be happening?

How Do I Stop A Swf File Restarting On A Html Page Refresh
Hi

I've looked around the usual haunts for help on this topic so I thought I come here, as I probably should have to begin with.

I have a swf file that appears at the top of every html page on a site that I'm working on... every time a user changes the page they are looking at the swf movie restarts... It's essential that the movie runs to the end as that is where the clients final splash appears.

How can I stop the swf restarting and continue playing from where it was before the page change/refresh?

thanks in advance for any help.

Highlighting Menu Option On Flash Menu In HTML Page
Hi Folks,

I have created a Flash menu to work with an HTML based site (the menu is the object in all the pages), but I would like the menu option to stay highlighted when clicked. I've created a series of buttons that highlight when they are scrolled over, but when they are clicked, the button returns to its normal state, as it should. I did come up with a not-so-nice solution, by loading a new movie whenever the user clicks on the option, and the new movie has the menu selection highlighted. Is there a way for the user to click on the menu option and have it stay highlighted until a new menu selection is clicked without having to create mutliple movies?

Newbie Q: How To Pass Variables From External SWF To Main Page?
Hi,

Ive got a main flash page into which I load external swf files using the "Loader" component.

My question is how to get the external swf to communicate variables to the main page?

For instance, say I have defined x = 1 in the external swf, how do I get it to trace out this value for x in the main page? Heres what I tried initially, and it just says "undefined":

ActionScript in External SWF: (called "blue.swf")
x = 1;

ActionScriot in Main SWF:
myLoader.contentPath = "blue.swf";
trace(x);

Ive looked on the net and other posts on this forum and tried various combinations of "_parent, _root, _level0" etc but wasnt sure exactly where I put them!

Please help!

How To Pass Variables From HTML Into Swf
Hi,

I can not find information anywhere, on how to read variables passed in from HTML to swf file, using actionscript 3.0.

I have read that variables can be passed in either via

1. myprog.swf?var1=value1, or
2. with SWFObjects methods: so.addVariable("var1", "value1"), or
3. with Object <param .. > tag.

But how is that data picked up in actionscript 3.0? I've read that it is available as _root.var1, but I'm guessing that is actionscript 2.0, because _root is not recognized.

What's more, how can you set the variables in Flash 9 authoring tool when debuging?

Thank you for help.

Pass Variables To SWF From HTML Link?
Is it possible to pass a variable to a Flash movie from a HTML hyperlink? This variable could come from 1 of 50 or more different hyperlinks so I don't think I can use getURL with a specific URL to get variable.

What I have is an opening Flash movie that has multiple expanding menus. Each of these menu category items links to a standard HTML page. I would like to make a link in the HTML page that lets the user go back to the Flash menu and have the Flash menu open up/expand to where he/she had originally navigated.

This would be easy to do in Flash with a simple variable. If variable=levelA then goto and play "expanded" of such-and-such nested "levelA" movie clip. I just need to send a variable to tell Flash what to do based on where the user is coming from.

So how can I send these variables to Flash from a html hyperlink?

Thanks!

From Flash "Splash Page" To HTML Pages
i thought i had this problem licked last night, but not the case.

i was having sherif79 help me last night, i did get my site working with what he told me but silly me i didn't describe the whole situation.

using flash mx

an all Flash movie "Splash Page" with button's to navagate then to "9" different html pages, but only after it plays another Flash Movie (kind of an exit splash page).

problem i seem to have is that i forgot to mention is that i am using frames in dreamweaver mx. i have a topframe, mainframe & bottomframe.

i need to go the page from the button selection from the splash page after it plays the exit splash page and then load the topframe the mainframe and then the mainframe which is what they are selecting.

stuff like home, resources, contact stuff like this.

the code i have been using is the below: (courtesy of sherif79)

on the button :
[as]
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
_root.myUrl = "http://myhomesite.com/FrameSets/index.html"

}

and on the frame# 50 in "Scene 2" :

[as]
getURL(_root.myUrl , "mainFrame.htm");

I think that will do it..

and on each button define the variable _root.myUrl according to u'r URL..

somehow i need to always load the topframe.htm and the bottomframe.htm no matter what mainframe.htm has been selected from the splash page.

appreciate any help with this, i have never attempted to deploy flash in this fashion, usually just use it in html pages, never have i had a reason to deploy a splash page before the actual html pages. but everybody's got to crawl first.

thanks....tina marie

HTML/JavaScript/ActionScript/variables/pass
Trying to take a variable from the html doc using a JavaScript to put it into the flash movie...having problems & I can't seem to get the job done. I am sure it can be done!!

ID & NAME are in OBJECT/EMBED(passFlash) & swLiveconnect=true and the function is described...
function getIt(){
var message=document.test.song.value;
window.document.passFlash.SetVariable("output", message);
}

donc, I get an error which says "passFlash" is not an object but in fact it is the NAME/ID???

"output" is the name of the textField in the movie.

What's going on here? If anyone out there can HELP, I'd appreciate the input...been racking my brain for two days now on this!! You can also directly e-mail.

HTML Page, FLASH Menu
Greetings friends,

Q: What are the options for me, if i want to use on my page:
>flash menu for navigation
>html+CSS pages for content
?

I want my page to be html, because things such as HTML tables are not recognized/displayed by flash.

I searched forums on this topic and found _this thread. In short it suggests to create HTML page with 2 frames, one containing FLASH MENU, another containing HTML content, so that when i click button in FLASH menu, flash executes function:

Code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.youreOtherPage.com");
}
and new HTML page WITH 2 frames is preloaded again. Inside 1st frame is FLASH menu AGAIN and in the second frame NEW HTML content.

Q1: Is there a way to make this more effective? Like for ex. for flash to say "preload "this.html" into "this.frame""?

Q2: What if i would like to use DIVs instead of Frames and place FLASH MENU inside DIV?

Any additional suggestions welcomed.

Flash Menu On An HTML Page
Hi everyone, I need to figure out how to do this. Here is a working sample on a page that I found

http://americanhistory.si.edu/westpoint/history_0.html

the idea is that I’ll be using the same flash menu for all my HTML pages but my flash menu will know that my page has change and I was inside of a submenu so when the new page loads it goes directly to that submenu. I have an idea about how to do this but I wanted to know the best and most efficient way of doing this.

I’m thinking on sending a variable to JavaScript and then send the variable back to flash and go directly to that frame. So any help or advice is welcome.

Thanks

I am trying to send a javascript variable through to an HTML page from flash and cannot see how it can be done, not even sure if it is possible! I have an index of thumbnails in flash that i would like to change an image on an html page. I would like to do change only the image, not the entire html document. The closest thing i can see to help me is the getURL command, but that will change the entire page, not just a variable.

Can anyone please help me, time is running low...
Thanx,
k8ie
