Flash :: Flash Form : Advance With Tabs

Form Question. Need Flash 4 Script That Can Control Tabs.
I am just starting to mess around with doing forms in flash. I have always stayed away from them in the past because when you hit tab (like most people are used to doing) you have no idea where on the flash file it is tabbing to. Another field, something in the navigation, etc. I have never found a way to control it.

Anyways I found this of Flashkit (just a snippet of the code) And it doesn't work in Flash 4. Which my boss still wants to make everything compatable for.

------------------------
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 20, Frame=1: Line 3: You must export your movie as Flash 5 to use this action.
if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level2.Form.Name") {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 20, Frame=1: Line 4: You must export your movie as Flash 5 to use this action.
Selection.setFocus("_level2.Form.Title");

Is there any way to do this same thing in Flash 4?

Advance Load Movie Trouble ... And I Mean Advance
What i need to do is load a movie into another and position it perfectly... big deal huh ! well the problem is that say the main movie is the container which has the dimention of 100 x 100 but it will be changed in the hard coded object tag say might written as 300 x 300 in the html. The need for this cause i want to load a movie with the dimention of 300 x 300 into the container. Ofcourse the loaded movie will distore but that can be fixed with the

fscommand(allowscale,false)

i guess.Anyway .. i manage to positioned the loadded movie in the 0,0 loaction as long as the container movie has the dimention written more than it's original one. ( ie. more than 100 x 100 ) ..

but when i go bellow the original dimention ... everything stop working including that fscommand.

I hav attached the files with this post if any one cares to take a look on this matter. Hope my post/problem was clear to understand.

If you find any solution please let me know ..

Thanks

Flash And IE7 Tabs
Hello, I am working on a site and to keep it simple I decided to make it both flash and regular html...
So the flash section has a main flash movie which loads a intro then goes onto "Scene 1" and fades the websites header in and loads the main pages movie,... then when you click around the site the main flash movie just loads various page movies... so what I wanted to do is be able to load any page on demand without running through the intro and the first page then having to click the link within flash to get to the page I wanted to goto.
So i setup the movie to accept a variable "thePage" and if that variable is defined it skips to Scene 1 and frame 45(after header has been faded in)... then it loads the swf file that i have sent with the variable.
So that works fine on IE7 but when I right click the link and click "open as new tab" it doesnt skip the intro nor loads the movie.
Anyone have this problem before?

Flash IE7 Tabs
When opening a new window with JavaScript, if the user is using IE7 and has it configured to open a new window in a tab, after the tab is createdit will gain focus. There is no way around this behavior using JavaScript.

However I have noticed that some ads that use Flash will create a new tab and not come into focus. (ie. NYTImes.com WashingtionPost.com). The page that opened the new tab stays in focus and the ad tab is created behind it.

Can anyone describe how this is accomplished?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Flash Output In Tabs
Does anyone know if there is a way I can have the Output window open up in a tab rather than a seperate window? It annoys the living hell out of me that I have to close that window every time!

In Flash 8 I have the option of selecting whether or not I want the Test Movie window to open up on it's own or in a tab and I prefer this.

Hoping someone has written a command maybe?

Flash Not Starting On Unfocused Tabs?
Using Firefox Flash objects are not automatically starting when the Flash object on the previous page loads the second page. The second page does load though until you display the tab in Firefox the Flash object doesn't start playing.

This is the opposite of what I want as many people listen to my site's Music Player while doing other things. It would be a hassle for them to have to continuously give my site's tab focus just to start the Flash object!

I'm 100% sure I'm doing this correctly and even attempted the opposite by checking "paused at start" in the HTML publish settings to ensure I was using the correct XHTML parameter and of course I was. The timeline is completely identical to the working correctly functioning versions (using Flash 8 now) so I assuming Flash has implemented something retarded without it being present in the public settings window. Here is a sample of my XHTML...

quote:<object data="mplayer/jab-creations-2.0-01-hi.swf" id="mplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<span>It appears you do not have the <a accesskey="8" class="icon external" href="

Incorrect Tabs When Importing PDF Into Flash
Hi...I've just begun using flash professional 8 as it allows me to import PDF's for a virtual catalogue project that I'm doing. However, the import messes up the tabs on imported text, and I'm having to re-align every text block in my imported movie. Over 200 pages!
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? I can't find any mention on the macromedia site or google.

Flash Communicates With Spry Tabs
Hi,

Anyone know how to comunicate between flash and Spry Tabbed menus?

What I have is a html page with spry tabbed panels. There are 4 tabbed panels on the page, the first panel has the swf embeded within the first tabbed area. Now what I'm after is a way of telling the tabbed panels that when the flash intro gets to the end of the intro, it swaps over to the second tab. The flash movie needs to communicate with the spry and be able to swap the tabs over at a certain time.

Anyone know how this could be done?

Thanks

Flash 100%/100% Issues With Firefox Tabs
I'm experiencing some undesired behaviour in flash fullbrowser sites when using firefox and tabs, not sure if it's the same in ie 7 (don't have it).

So what's the issue? Could be any fullbrowser link - but example http://www.re-kids.com/zima/

When you resize it notice the bottom menu - it follows accordingly. Then just maximize the window again and go to another tab and make it a bit smaller - and go back to the tab where you came from, and you'll see the bottom menu
goes below stage.height.
The html body margins are normally set to 0 in fullbrowser flash, but when removing the margins this doesn't happen!

At first my thought was that after loosing focus, the stage had no info (onresize) when regaining focus, and made javascript call the onresize in actionscript. That wasn't it. Damn

So it must be a stage.height/html margin issue So far I haven't seen the solution - anywhere, but it would be nice to overcome that hurdle. Any thoughts

Cd-rom Menu (flash In Frameset) Keeps Opening New Tabs
I'm really stunned by this 'sudden' unexpected behaviour. I'm pretty sure i used this method before a few years ago. Here is the case:

I'm making cdrom/usb stick with a html frameset on it, a flash menu in the top frame and html in the one below. The flash needs to open a link tan html file in the lower frame. Online this works great but for some reason (security i'm sure) it opens the link in a new tab when i run it locally (as intended).

I tried making a simple javascript function to open the page in the frmeset and have the swf call the javascript but that doesnt work either. It wont even connect to the javascript, not by link, not by external interface, nothing...

I finally got it to work by adding the folder to my trusted sites in the flash security manager.
But i can't expect anyone also to figure that out. Flash seems useless for this now. :(
Is there another way to just get it to work ofline??

Im thinking about using a tool like Zinc now, but i'd like to sure that won't run into the same thing since it looks like the plugin eliminates the functionality....

Flash Navigation Tabs Linking To Individual HTML Pages
Hi,

http://www.appraiser-consortium.com

What I want your help is on the tabs to remain highlighted on their respective pages.

Any help/suggestion/code will be highly appreciated.

http://paksassociates.com/projectx/index.php

1. Design for is much better. But not happy with mix of fonts. Please try and make them all web 2.0 style that we discussed - based on examples I showed you.

2. Search bar size is better now. But don’t like GO button or "search" text. Maybe have text inside bar and icon more like this:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/spotlight.html

http://image.versiontracker.com/scrn...944widget2.jpg

3. I think logo is looking too red/pink - not orange enough. What happened? What about some gradient in part of logo?

4. The gap between blue header and grey middle section is not even in all places. They should fit into each other more perfectly.

Flash MX Slideshow - Auto Advance
Hey,

I'm creating a slide show in MX using screens, and I was wondering, is there a way to employ the same user input of 'slide duration time' that PowerPoint uses? Essentially that means I need to find a way to automatically change slides at designated times. There are hundreds of slides total, so going through and inserting frames corresponding to the real-time duration would be tedious and time consuming. Any ideas?

Actionscript Help On Semi-advance Flash
So I'm trying to create a flat carousel similar to the one located here http://www.square-enix.com/na/index_f2.html
(as a side note before reading the 2nd half, my trouble is with the thumbnail loop buttons)

I have created all the graphic elements, now I'm in the planning stage of the actionscript, and this is where I'm hitting some trouble, so if I could barrow some actionscript pro's mind that would be awesome.

My thought process is to create a movie clip and have it be replaced with images imported through an XML file (for easy updating). After this part I run into trouble, I'm planning on taking the MC that got replaced and duplicating it and running the MC's side by side, and when one goes too far to the left or right move it to the other end of the other MC, this way I create an infinite loop.

My Questions:
so like how would you make one of the MC's reposition it's self on the X axis to the end of the other movie clip once it has moved far enough left or right ? (also what is the method you would use to tell flash the limit that the MC is far enough left or right and it should reset it's self?)

How would you make each thumbnail button change the image on the main stage upon clicking the thumbnail button when all the images are imported through the xml document?

Thank you for help and time spent reading this.

if you have any questions, please ask.

thanks once again.

Advance Flash AS2:: In Search Of A Hero
This is not for the faint hearted... this is an on going puzzle I am trying to get over and this is how far I've got and now I am hoping that someone else maybe able to help out. In my program text is imported from XML documents, some words need to link to an external glossary, for this all words that are meant to form links are stored in the tags --! and !--

Once the text is pulled into flash it strips out all the tags and places the words into an array, the tags are then replaced with <a></a> tags to form links within the text.

What I need it to do is for flash to recognise what word has been clicked inbetween the tags and place this word at the end of the web address. I have completly come to a stump on how flash would be able to recognise a word so I would really appeciate it if anyone could come up with any suggestions.

Thanking in advance,
