Inserting A Link

Inserting ,wmv Link
Hi,
Could anyone guide me how or where to insert the link below which works ok in HTML for streaming video.

<embed src="Video/Rolean.wmv">

I now need to do the same in a blank swf. which over the coming weeks I can embelish the background.
I don't really want to import it as a .wmv as it is a very large file and takes for ever to import and convert as I have tried..
Cheers

Problem With Inserting Button/link Into An Actionscript
Hi guys. I'm a noob when it comes to flash. Please be kind. Haha. My boss asked me to make a webpage with starwars scrolling script as the homepage.

My question is: where do I add the link to another page?

Since I had no idea how to do it, I googled and found one already done and just copied the entire thing into one frame. All actionscript.

It looks like this:

// dimension of stage
stageWidth = 300;
stageHeight = 200;
// speed of scrolling text
scrollRate = 1;
// count used to wait between each line of text
waitCount = 0;
// current depth at which to place text lines
depth = 1;
// number of stars
starNum = 100;
// clip to hold stars
this.createEmptyMovieClip("stars", 0);
// places stars on stage
for (i=0; i<starNum; i++) {
s = stars.attachMovie("star", "star"+i, i);
s._x = Math.random()*stageWidth;
s._y = Math.random()*stageHeight;
s._xscale = s._yscale=(Math.random()+.2)*100;
}
delete s;
delete i;
// text to be scrolled
scrollText = [];
scrollText.push("A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...");
scrollText.push("WAR!");
scrollText.push("Evil is everywhere.");
scrollText.push("Not so long ago and not so far away--");
scrollText.push("evil, barbaric, unthinkable attacks");
scrollText.push("on innocent in London. Talk of spies.");
scrollText.push("Warriors. Tensions escalate. Analysts watch");
scrollText.push("chatter on fleeting Internet sites. Drones make");
scrollText.push("their way across deserts in search of hidden");
scrollText.push("bases. Resolve increases. The price of the Empire");
scrollText.push("continues to rise.");
// text formatting for scrolling text
tf = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0xEDD638;
tf.size = 16;
tf.font = "scrollFont";
tf.underline = 1;
// amount of time to wait between placing each line
lineWait = (tf.size/scrollRate)*1.5;
// holds references to all the lines
lines = [];
// function called at set interval to check status of load
// clip is the movieclip that is loading content
assessLoad = function (clip) {
// var kbLoaded = Math.floor(clip.getBytesLoaded()/1024);
// var kbTotal = Math.floor(clip.getBytesTotal()/1024);
// delete these two lines and uncomment the above lines upon publishing
var kbLoaded = Math.floor(getTimer()/200)+2;
var kbTotal = 250;
// scrolls lines
moveLines();
// if clip is completely loaded, final line added
if (kbLoaded == kbTotal && kbLoaded>1 && !waitInterval) {
scrollText = ["Site Loaded"];
waitInterval = setInterval(gotoSite, 7000);
}
};
// adds and formats a new line to scrolling text
createLine = function () {
this.createTextField("t"+depth, depth, stageWidth/2, stageHeight, 0, 0);
var t = this["t"+depth];
depth++;
t.embedFonts = 1;
t.setNewTextFormat(tf);
t.autoSize = "center";
// used to decrement alpha without dealing directly with _alpha property
t.alpha = 100;
t.text = scrollText.shift();
// stores reference to line
lines.push(t);
};
// scrolls lines up
moveLines = function () {
// time to wait before adding next line
waitCount++;
if (waitCount>lineWait) {
waitCount = 0;
createLine();
}
// runs through each line and moves it
for (var i in lines) {
var t = lines[i];
// scales it down
t._xscale = t._yscale -= scrollRate*.2;
// moves it up
t._y -= scrollRate*(t._xscale/100);
// reduces its alpha
t.alpha -= scrollRate*.1;
t._alpha = t.alpha;
// removes it once it is too small
if (t._yscale<=5) {
t.removeTextField();
lines.shift();
i--;
}
}
updateAfterEvent();
};
// used at end of preload
gotoSite = function () {
clearInterval(preload);
clearInterval(waitInterval);
for (var i in lines) {
lines[i].removeTextField();
}
};
// adds first line then removes underline formatting
createLine();
tf.underline = 0;
preload = setInterval(assessLoad, 50, this);


I tried adding another frame and just throwing the button and getURL in there but it seems to completely screw up the scrolling.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Inserting A MC Into Another MC
Problem:

I would like to create a button that when the user rolls over it, a SEPARATE movie clip displays information related to that particular button: i.e Roll over HOME button and on the other side of the movie a sign pops up: "Click here to go home."

I have a quite a bit of info to display, as well as the info will b changing every month so it has to be easily updatable.

Again, thanks for the help.

Inserting The <img> Tag .. . Please Help :(
i've a flash file on my site (http://www.servantmediagroup.com), and in it, I'm calling xxxx_gallery.html on the media link. The html file appears fine, and scrolls as we want it to, but I need to somehow get an image or swf inserted in there to be displayed as well. The image is smg_logo.jpg and swf is butt_gallery4.swf. All files are in the same directory. And the image appears fine when the html page is viewed on its own (http://www.servantmediagroup.com/xxxx_gallery.html). But I just can't get the darn thing to show on the site I've looked up my problem, and know that flash only supports a limited set of tags, and it can only view progressive jpgs. Which I have. It supports the <img> tag along with the src attribute, and I've tried <img src="smg_logo.jpg">, <img src='smg_logo.jpg'>, <img="smg_logo.jpg">, <img>="smg_logo.jpg", <img>='smg_logo.jpg' . .. . I've run out of things to try honestly The field in the flash file is dynamic and set to render html, and I don't think that's really the problem, as the file is being displayed .. . just not the image, which leads me to think it's my tag I'm using Flash MX 2004, and I just don't know what else to do, can someone please please please please help me ???

Inserting Frames?
Hi all. I'm a flash newbie still trying to grasp the basics.

Suppose I have made a simple animation of a square that moves across the screen in 10 frames. I created a motion tween from frame 1 to frame 10, and everything is fine. Now, suppose I want this square to move more slowly.. I want it to take 15 frames to move across the screen. What's the best way to insert frames so that this motion moves more slowly? I can't "insert keyframe" or "insert blank keyframe", those both seem to break the animation.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Inserting Frames
I'm trying to follow the tutorials (on this site and on others) but whenever I'm asked to insert frames, I seem to get confused. An excerpt from the tutorial says:

"Add 40 Frames to the movie by clicking at Frame 1 of the Actions Layer and dragging down to the bottom layer to select the frames and then click F5 to add the Frames"

In their screen capture of the Flash timeline, the last frame (which is 40 in this case) is blank. But when I insert these frames, at frame 40 there will be a rectangle icon instead of being blank like their sample.

I am using Flash MX.

Inserting Video
I am VERY new to this and get confused pretty easy, so here it is - I viewed some samples to get some idea of how things wrok. I made a small movie clip of boxes changing colors. I started another movie and added some buttons to go to a frame and stop. OK, my movie clip covers 5 frames - and you probably know what I'm going to say - when a button is pressed the movie clip stops - how do I keep this movie clip looping.

Thanks Tom

Inserting Outside Movie
Hey guys, this one should be an easy one to solve:

I've got an external swf file which I've created to be a component of a larger whole. I've already exported this swf, but I assume it will still need to be in the same folder as files that I've included with it.

I'm now onto making the outside shell of the previous movie file. I'm just wondering how to drop in the previous swf into the shell of the new file by using Actionscript.

I've tried to attach the movie, but it doesn't seem to be working. Also, I need to keep in mind that I will use buttons in the outside shell movie to manipulate the inner movie. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Inserting A Swf Into Dreamweaver
hi all,
i have been experiencing a problem and i can't seem to figure out what is wrong. i have a swf which is functioning perfectly.
when i try to insert it into an html page in dreamweaver, it doesn't work. does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

FYI, the swf calls on another swf through a placeholder. when i insert it into dreamweaver, the main swf appears, but when i click on the button which loads the second swf, it doesn't work. they are both in the same folder though, and it works perfectly in flash. the problem occurs after i import it into dreamweaver. is there something that needs to be done in order for this to work? does the flash need to be saved in a certain way, or inserted into dreamweaver in a specific way that i might be missing?

PLEASE! any help at all is appreciated. i have been trying for almost 2 weeks to figure it out and i need to do it for someone's website. i don't have anyone else i can ask for help with this. thanks so much!
