Flash :: Hidden Frames ?

Hidden Frames
I'm trying to incorporate the code from this tutorial:

http://www.robertpenner.com/experime...ackbutton.html

The tutorial is made so that you can use the browser back button, and still be in the flash movie. In the tutorial you have to generate a history of web pages. The tutorial uses a hidden frame to store HTML pages that generate a browser history.

What i dont understand is how to use a hidden frame. Can anyone explain that to me? Thanks!

Hidden URL
Is there a way to hide the URL Address as someone navigates through your website? The site is FlashMX except for the published HTML for each area/page of the site. As the user navigates from one page/area to the next, I am calling getURL (Published HTML). Of course the paths are noted in the Address bar. This shows the different directories that are navigated.

Thank you

Keep It Hidden?
I would like to load an swf that has audio in it and have it invisible. I am using the following statement to load it:
loadMovieNum("audio2.swf", 15);
I know if I set its alpha to 0 it will not be visible, but how do I do this?

Hidden Pics
The problem I'm running into with ANY movie I attempt to create with Swish 2.0 is that there is always a "phantom" pic once I enter in more than 10-12 pics. Eactly what happens is that as I enter a new pic, I can see that there is that phantom image in the way, and it blocks off part of the screen (usually the middle) and I have to move new pics to one side. Now I've gone through the files to make sure all previous pics are faded out, but the problem is still there. What am I doing wrong?

Currently have a MC with all my navigation buttons. This MC is a pull down tap. (you click the menu comes out). I got this far with no problems.

Problem..
Depending on what section I jump to on my timeline. I like for the viewer to see a red bar behind the button that corresponds to that section of the timeline. Again this buttons are inside my MC menu navigation.

[F8] Combobox Hidden
I'm using attachMovie to show a popup window in my flash file.

This popup window has a combobox on it and although it's showing I think the actual box is hidden by the box because when I click to open it the options are behind the box not ontop of it.

This is something to do with the depth of it - but I'm not sure what the right code would be or where it would go. How can I set the combobox to appear ontop of every thing else and where should I assign that?

thanks,

[F8] Loading Into A Hidden MC
I'm loading in several images from XML, I have a loader movie clip that displays until all the images have loaded and I'm loading them to empty movie clips that have _visibility set to false. The idea is when they are all loaded I set the visibility to true, only problem is that as soon as it loads the image I can see the empty clip. I think that it resets the _visibility property of the movie clip when loadMovie finishes. What can I do to hide the empty MC that I'm loading the external image into?

[F8] Hidden Layer
When I click on the hide layer it hides it in the main screen but when i go to test the movie it is still there. Why is it like this how can i hide it entirely?

[MX] Why Is My Navigation Hidden?

Can anyone help would be much appreciated!?

thanks!

Getting Hidden Form Value.
Hey,

I was wondering if there was a way with actionscript to get the value of a hidden form field in a html page. For example:
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenfield1" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenfield2" value="2">
How could I get "hiddenfield1" with the value of "1" and "hiddenfield2" with the value of "2" into flash?

OR

If this isn't possible, how could I get the entire sourcecode of a given URL so that I could send it to php.

Thanks!

I even went to F9 and looks for frame where there are scripts, but found nothing, can anyone help???

XML Hidden Under Masks?
Hi, just wondering, i've come across this a number of times, but when i apply masks to certain movieclips it is fine, but when the movieclip has a textfield which has data stored in an XML file, the textfield doesn't show up, it is reading the XML file but the masks stops the textfield from showing up, while other graphics within the movieclip are fine?

Hidden Timeline
I recently downloaded a template for Flash MX that has 9 layers, but the timeline only shows one active frame for each layer, which is frame 1. However, I am able to detect within the action scripts that each layer has more frames. I cannot find a way to access these frames. Any assistance is appreciated. Note: the creators are not willing to offer assistance.

Hidden Code
My question is silly. I am not a flash developer I am just here for fun. I visited the site www.levitated.net . I found it very interesting , there are so many open source .fla files to download but when I open them with flash it seems to me there is too little code against the beautiful animations appearing.
My question is : is the code hidden? or generically is there a way to hide code in flash? is it protected?

Thanks in advance.
regards.

? About Hidden Layers While I'm At It
I was searching for a way to make LAYERS hidden/visible through a/s.

* Example : on click of a btn two layers become hidden while one stays visible. Then upon click of another button the current LAYER becomes hidden and another layer becomes visible.....

i was thinking along the lines of...

PHP Code:

on (press) {
     this.hidden(layer1);
     this.visible(layer2);
     this.hidden(layer3);
}

Which obvoiusly is wrong but I dont know where to start with this. Thanks

Hidden Information
I'm currently working on an artistic project and have run into a slight set back. I need to load a collection of images in a grid and allow a user to choose a few of the images and then move on to something else based on the images. I'm trying to figure out how I can hide a variable or bit of information in the image object so that the flash script can determine the appropriate path.

Any ideas? or is more information needed?

Thanks,
Doug

Hidden Actionscript
I've been looking at a .fla and am looking at the actionscript for the buttons created in the library. When I check in movie explorer I the following

             SomeButton
                     |
                    + Actions For SomeButton

                              on(release){func1()}

But when I select the button on the stage or I select the approriate frame and check the actions panel,there is no script. There is no frame labeled 'a' for actionscript anywhere on the timeline.

I'm curious. How has this script been added?

Evil Hidden Pointers
they're probably shunned, but i think i need them... the site i'm working on has quite a few small movie clip buttons with text and i'm finding that the default hand pointer gets in the way of reading this text... i've seen before (but can't find tutorials or threads covering) buttons that allow the users preferred pointer (in most cases the standard arrow) to remain up while over a button... i've been able to make the pointer disappear completely, but i can't live with that!!! can someone help me with this (if i'm even making sense???) thanks...

HIDDEN PRELOADERS, STREAMING, AND MORE...
FELLOW DUDES.
you guys know sites like flash-styles . com and others who
right when you click enter, there's already wild cool stuff going on , and you don't even have to wait? well they must know some tricks on how to make hidden preloaders, how to just load enough of the movie for it to stream properly, etc. who knows anything about this subject? let's get some thread action here, because i think we all need to learn about this...flash is supposed to be even faster than html pages to load if only we knew how to stream and preload properly. i think the public don't care much for waiting for chunky preloads. who knows much about this?
