HTML Linking To Specific Part Of A Swf.movie



Can anyone help me with this problem!

What I want to do is to <href>link from a HTMLpage to a specific label in an external swf movie. The movie should then be downloaded into this same window.

The flashmovie is an introduction to(and in between)all
different pages, and therefore should display a different title everytime.I want to link to this specific part of the movie from the HTML page.

Maybe something like
<href .... loadmovie.... ,label blabla> in the HTML otherwise a JS-script with a function.

Example can be found at http://www.opdemuuren.nl.
The running train should be the introduction to all other pages which are flash now but will be HTML soon.

Plz Help, I'm Trying To Get Buttons To Activate Specific Part Of Movie
Hi, i have my movie, its a website, i have put all the pages on one scene, it looks like this:

Please could somebody tell me how to make it so that when i click a button it jumps straight to, say, frame 95 (the next page).

Also is could somebody plz tell me how i get the scene to loop until sombody pushes a button.

Thank you so much if you can help, i really appreciate it.

Linking To Another Part Of A Movie
<b>OK, let's see if I can explain this...<b>

My movie consists of several sections that is built like a webpage. Each section has a movie that calls on a component called the Scroll Content Component, which enables me to give the movie a webpage look to it with sliders.

I have a link in one section that needs to go to another section. "Click here to go to Section 3." I need it to get out of that movie and movie back two or three nested movies and play a numbered frame.

My problem is that I cannot figure out the correct syntax to tell it to go from the scrolling content movie back OUT to the movie where my other sections are setting. And then to go to a certain frame on the timeline that is holding the other sections. I've tried doing the _parent.goto method and the _root.got method, but neither work.

Does this make sense? PLEASE HELP AND THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Linking To Specific SWF Frames Between HTML Pages
Hello,

I have a Flash file on this webpage: http://www.westloopmedia.com/mh/index.html

I'd like to have the same Flash file on each page, but when I go to a certain page, the Flash should start at a different point in the timeline.

I tried using FlashVars and it worked for the "Home" button. But when I tried it for the "About Us" page to go to frame label "AboutUsBG", it doesn't work properly.

This is the script I have in frame 1:
stop();
if( jumpToFrame != null && jumpToFrame != undefined){
gotoAndPlay(jumpToFrame);
}else{
gotoAndPlay("TopFrameScroll");
}

Here's the actual .fla file:
http://www.westloopmedia.com/mh/main.fla

This is the page it's not working on:
http://www.westloopmedia.com/mh/aboutus.html

Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Linking To A Specific Frame In Flash From A Html Link?
Is is possible to have an html link - link to a specific frame of a flash movie embedded in an html page?
I have a web site that is mostly flash. However - I am also using mambo for content management for non-flash pages that are part of the same site. I can click a link in the flash movie that will take my browser to the specific html page, no problem - but is it possible to do the reverse - have the html link goto the flash?
For instance: I would like in the html page a link that goes specifically to 'frame 100' of the flash movie that loads the 'contact' flash form. Is it possible to link to a html page that contains the flash movie and have it goto that specific frame?
I would like this to be seamless in the same browser. Right now I have the flash popup the html pages for those specific links.
thanks!

Linking To A Specific Scene/frame In Flash From HTML
Hi,

I hope someone can help me as I've been googling all morning and have not been able to find out how to do this.

Basically I am editing a Flash template. Half of the site is in Flash and half just basic html. The flash part is made up of only one .swf file.

I am trying to create a basis <a href> link in HTML that will go to a specific scene and frame within that Flash file. So I can't just link to the .swf file because it will load at the beginning which I don't want.

It's probably quite easy and I apologize if that's the case. I'm learning Flash.

Thanks very much!

Linking From HTML Back To Specific Flash Page
ok lets see if I can explain what i want...

I have an entirely flash based website, but ONE of the pages has to be an html page...
the problem i'm running into is that from that HTML page how do i link back to a specific page in my flash file?

i've thought of run around ideas like just making the one html page a pop-up, but the client doesn't want that,

so basically to clairfy, from the html file, i'll need the links (Home, Contact, Clients) to link BACK to the flash file, but also link to the correct page in the flash file, so I guess what i need is an html code to do that along with the flash code...

any help would be great, thanks

Specific Html Page Triggers Specific Frame Of The Flash Movie
I have been playing with flash and html and wonder if any of you have a bright idea on how to do this.


I have a flash movie, which I call from html but depending on which part of the html page I call it from I want to start it at a particular frame and not always from the beginning.

I have created a variable within the movie in action script and given it a different value for each of the frames I want to start the movie at, and want now to designate the value I give to that within html so that the movie “jumps” to the correct frame. Is this possible or am I totally crazy??

Linking To Specific Frame Number Or Label From An Html Page
Is it possible to link to a specific part of my flash movie from an html page. Is there any way to link to a frame number or label? The site is html based, but the intro/home page is flash. I don't want users to have to see the intro every time they go back to the home page from somewhere else within the site. Is there something that I can append to my link on my html page to make it go to a specific frame in the swf?

thanks!

Linking To A Specific Place In A Movie From Another File
I'm a flash designer with "basic" actionscript knowledge. I'm working on a flash site that has links to a javascript popup window that contains a second swf file.

thanks for your help..

Linking To Specific (scene, Frame) In External Movie?
I'm terribly sorry if this gets asked all the time, but I wasn't sure what exactly I would be looking for on my own!

I had a pretty large swf (900Kb!) that I have now chopped into 4 separate swf's, to lower the files sizes. Now what on Earth is my next step?

Does each individual swf go into its own html page (as i would assume)? If so, how do I direct the push of a button, in movie_A, to a very specific scene and frame of movie_B in a totally different web page?

I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer me!

Help With Linking To Specific Frame On External Flash Movie
Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to using Flash, and I've run into a slight problem. ^_^;;

I have made a button to unload the current movie on the stage and load in a different movie, and have accomplished this using behaviors in Flash MX2004.

However, I am unable to have that button go to a specific frame of the newly loaded movie after it gets loaded up.

I have this so far.


on (release) {

//unload Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
unloadMovieNum(this);
} else {
this.unloadMovie();
}
//End Behavior


//load Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
loadMovieNum("aboutus.swf",this);
} else {
this.loadMovie("aboutus.swf");
}
//End Behavior

//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
aboutus.swf.gotoAndStop("54");
//End Behavior
}


Is there anything I can do to get it to work properly?

Thanks. ^_^

Flash 8 - Help Linking To A Specific Fram In A Movie Clip
Hello,

I am fairly new to action script so I am trying to animate this piece with frames.

Basically, I have adrop down menu, which contains about 20 buttons. Each button is set to _root.Keys_MC.gotoAndPlay("frame label"); a specific from within the Keys_MC which is on the main timeline.

The problem is, no matter which one I click, it always links me to the first frame of that movie clip. Does anyone know a solution to this problem??? Any help/suggestions would be awesome.

HTML To Load Movie To Specific Frame?....Help Me...Help Me
Oh, I'm in trouble now!

Let me tell you straight off that I'm a Graphic Designer
who doesn't know JavaScript and I'm just learning the joys of ActionScript.

I have a site that needs to go up TOMORROW and I need to
have an HTML page load a .swf to a specific frame. It
has to work in Netscape and I.E.

I've begun searching the forums and am reading through
several posts suggesting how to create a LINK that, when
clicked, will load a .swf to a specific frame. It is
making my brain hurt.

Can anyone PLEASE suggest code that I can put in my HTML
page that will simply tell the .swf to open at frame label,
"Oh God I promise to learn JavaScript if you can just
get me through the next two days" when the HTML page loads?

Sincerely Desperate,

MelbArt

Controlling Visibility Of Specific Html Layers From Swf Movie
Hi Folks.
Three questions really.
1) Can it (Controlling visibility of specific html layers from Swf movie) be done, cross browser and cross-platform within the swf via actionscript?
2) How? And please would someone be kind enough to give me an example and/or some sample code to work with please?

It is basically because Netscape doesn't support transparency settings, so I am having to make layers that appear/hide instead of just using the transparency settings in Flash (Which would be the ideal option), unless someone knows how to force NS to behave properly with the transparency option???

Are there any problems with Mac variants (IE and NS) that I should code for too, as there's nothing worse than doing loads of work only to find that it doesn't work at all with one platform/browser combo?

I'm using Flash 5
cheers

A Link To A Specific Part Of Flash Site, Not Just Home Page
Hi,

I'm trying to make a link from one flash site to another, but not just to the home page of it, but to a specific part of it. For example, I run jumpgallery.com and am wanting to make the direct links from the websites of the seven artists involved (mostly flash sites) to their specific page on the jumpgallery.com site... does that make sense?

I guess it depends on how I have structered my site, but does anyone have a starting point?

Any help would be very cool...

Passing A Variable From HTML To Flash Movie To Have It Load Specific Swf
I think this is possible...but I'm having a hard time figuring out how I should go about it.

This is what I have at present: 4 separate flash movies for each html page on the site. One loads the title of the page (ie. "home", "links", etc), the other is a simple animation that reveals an image (this image is different for every page), the third is just a link to a map that will open in another window (I might get rid of this completely), and finally, the fourth is the menu bar. Each button is coded for a particular url. The menu bar is different for each html page to make it easier to switch from the French content page to the English content page.

What I'd like to do: Is combine the first three movies into one fla, and then have the proper swf loaded for the corresponding HTML page. I'm thinking that I could pass a variable from the HTML page (using javascript)to the main flash movie so that the correct title swf and image swf are loaded. Am I making sense? Is it possible?

LOL...my brain is mush right now and I cannot seem to wrap my head around the javascript/corresponding actionscript for this. I need sleep. :-)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Html --> Redirect To Flash Site And Load Specific Movie
This will take a while to explain..
I have a website done in one main flash which calls up external swf. If the user does not have Flash 6 player, they will be redirected to the HTML site. However, users coming in via search engines will most likely end up in the HTML site. So the boss has asked me to add some magic codes into every HTML page to check the user for presence of flash player. If the user has it, then they will be redirected to the FLASH site BUT the trick is, it has to load the exact corresponding swf of the HTML page they were redirected from!!!! Any Flash Merlins out there with that kind of magic to teach me how to achieve such miracles? I cannot afford to restructure my Flash cuz my navigations are in the main movie and every page is in individual external swf to be loaded into a blank container in the main mov when they are called.

I'm building with Flash MX

Addressing Specific Frame In Flash Movie From Html Source
Hi there,

I have an external html text source, which is loaded via loadVariablesNum into flash movie "A" (this movie is located within html page "Andrew"). From this html text source I have to address a specific frame (i.e. "5") within a flash movie "B" (this movie is located within html page "Brian").

Since I have to adress the frame from within the html text source the addressing must be in html code.

But what the hey do I write into the html text source which is loaded into "Andrew"?

<A HREF="http://www.example.ch/brian" TARGET="_self">Brian</A>

But this doesn't get me to frame 5 ?!?!?

Or do I have to celebrate something with myfunction?

<a href="asfunction:myfunction999"><u>Brian</u><a/>

And in the flash movie I write:

function myfunc999(){
getURL("brian.html", "_self");
}

But then I'm still not at frame 5 in "Brian" (?!?)

Has somebody please some smart idea?

regards from
goldader

Navigating From HTML Page Back To Specific Area Within Flash Movie
I have a flash file sitting within an html page.
At certain times i navigate from a movie that is about 2 layers down within my flash file to another html page (not flash).
If the users go to this new html page, but then want to navigate back to the flash file, and to the exact movie within that flash file, what can they do? Hitting the 'back' button simply takes them back to Scene 1, frame 1, while i would like them to go to... (for example) Scene 1_movie1.movie2.frame10

let me know if this doesn't make sense!!

thanks

HTML Link To A Specific Movie Clip In A Flash Site That Uses MovieLoad
Hi,

I need to be able to have an HTML link take the user to another full Flash website. But it doesn't take you to the beginning of the Flash site, rather, it takes you to a specific page in that Flash site.

Only problem is, the Flash site itself uses movieLoad function to load different movie clip into the content area.

How do I pass variable into flashVar to link to a specific movie clip when it is using movieLoad?

I hope that make sense.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Linking To Google Maps - Only Part Loasds URL
Hi, i have a Flash site, and on the contact page, have added a piece of text, converted that to Symbol, and used the basic 'link' field to add the URL of a Google Maps page;
The idea was, the visitor clicks on the text/symbol and it opens Google Maps on the specific address.
I have copied the linked URL from Google Maps, but when i upload the files, and test it, i click this text/symbol and it does load the URL into a new browser window as it should....

...but only the beginning of the URL is loaded??

I cant see why though, anyone have any ideas please?

It should basically load something like this URL string:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...oc=addr&om= 1

Thats what is in the 'link to' field.

But when i click this it loads this only:
http://ma

....for some reason it is only reading the URL string up to here, the letter 'a' of 'maps'

Anyone know why this might be, i cant think of what to try tbh, its only [what should be] a simple hyperlink

cheers
