Flash :: Linking Swf Files From A Table Of Content Swf

Fla Navigation With HTML Content In Table
Hello, I'm wondering if this can be done: I need to have a flash navigation bar at the top of the table, with HTML content in other parts of the table. I know this much can be done. However, i would like to be able to navigate through the different HTML content pages via the flash navigation bar, without reloading the flash bar every time i load a new HTML page. Can this be done, since they would be in the same table? Any example code would be great, as I am obviously just learning this stuff. Thanks!

Grid/Table Content Display
Does anybody have a link to a tutorial that explains how to display data in a grid/table style view. I'm trying to create a catalog (using xml), I know how to display the information retrieved from the xml file, I just don't know how to display it in a grid/table style. And also the next and previous buttons I got to work while showing one at a time (kirupa xml gallery tutorial).

Here's an example of what I want to achieve:

Problem: the swf elements are throwing off the table by a few pixels, but only on a PC though! (I'm working on a Mac).

Any advice on how to keep these swf files from throwing off the alignment?

Linking To Content
Hi All-

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask or not, but I'm really not sure where else to go with this question.

I am building an e-learning module and including a movie. I have uploaded the move to an FTP site, and am now trying to find the URL of the file, but I cant.

I am new to this so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I cant figure out what it is

I am trying to use

http://www.site-address.com/folder/file.extention

I can go to the file via the FTP address and access it that way, but not via the HTTP rout

Any help with this would be really appreciated

Linking To Downloadable Content
Could someone help me with this, I'm a newbie to Flash...
I have a button created and I want it, when clicked on or when right clicked on, to be attached to a file that can be downloaded. I understand how to get buttons attached to getting urls but this would seem to be a little different since the files are in the local directory.

Thanks,

Trouble Linking Content Within Attached Movieclip
Ok, so as the title indicated I am having trouble linking a flv file with a playback component via actionscript. Here's a breakdown of what's going on:

At the root level I have attached a movieclip named Navigation. Inside of Navigation is a button that attaches another movieclip, named List, also at the root level. Inside of List is another button that attaches a third movielcip, named Movie.

Inside of Movie is an FLVPlayback component, instance name Player, with no content linked. The code for the button in List is as follows:

on (release) {
_root.attachMovie("movie", "movie1", 3);
_root.movie1._x = 250;
_root.movie1._y = 0;
_root.movie1.player.contentPath= "http://home.comcast.net/~ptgerke/one.flv"
}

So the button in List successfully attaches Movie, and positions it correctly, but the FLVPlayback component, Player, never establishes connection with the flv file that I tried to direct it to.

Is there something simple that I'm messing up on?

Thanks for the help, and sorry if I didn't do a well enough job describing the situation. Let me know and I can further clarify or provide the .fla file or something.

Thanks

Pat

Newbie, Loading Content Into MC And Linking Problems
Hey, im a newbie. I stumbled on this site while browsing at tutorials and figure i'd ask all you flash gods 2 questions.

Im doing an interactive FAQ flash presentation.

I have 11 categories which are located on seperate scenes.
I have a custom category menu that opens up and presents options of different menus to select. So this menu is inside a Movieclip "maincats" on each scene.
Inside this "maincats" I have another MC "menus" that holds the categories and invisible buttons which i want linked to the different scenes I have already created. (I have a lot of animation on roll in, and roll out, so I needed hotspots instead of regular menu buttons.)

I have the category menu function properly, however when I add script to the menu hotspots to link to the new scenes, it does not work:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("scenename", "scenelabel");
}

I even tried _root.gotoAndPlay("..","..");

After experimenting I came to a conlusion that if the hotspots(invisible buttons) under the menus in the category menu are inside a movieclip, then they will not work. Which means i'm missing somethign very simple.

The other question I have is that Id like to know how to get
one main movieclip (handler if u will) onto a stage that i can use in each scene and have different pieces of content load into it dynamically using the external text files/video files. But I would like to have it fade in and out anytime a different question is selected.

I've linked external text files to flash before, but I've never linked into the same movieclip, Ive always created a seperate movieclip for each entry(question), which is unimaginable. Like 160 movieclips.

If there is an easy way, or some tutorial I could go through, let me know.

thanks in advance.
If you need a file posted , please let me know.

High Score Table (empty Table) HELP
Hey guys,

[Flash8]

Basically I’m making a high score table and the problem I am having is that for some reason I can't see any of the information from my database table. I believe my php file is correct, I think the prob is somewhere in my action script but I just can't see it.

I have attached the flash file and the php file. My database table was on wamp and have attached a screen shot of the table.

Flash file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/10804329...score.zip.html

Image of database table:
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2702/databasetm2.jpg

Action script:

stop()

lv.onLoad = function(){
numRows = lv.nRows;
for(var n=0; n!=numRows; n++){
obj = {};
obj.Name = lv['name'+n];
obj.N0 = lv['number_of_minimum_attempts'+n];
obj.N1 = lv['number_of_attempts'+n];
obj.N2 = lv['number_of_wrong_attempts'+n];
obj.D = lv['date_time'+n];
arr[n] = obj;
}
makeFields(numRows); // show all results
};

function makeFields(num){
for(var n=0;n!=num;n++){
_root["name"+n].text = arr[n].Name; name2.text, name3.text, name4.text, name5.text, name6.text, name7.text, name8.text, name9.text, name10.text
_root["minimum"+n].text = arr[n].N0; minimum2.text, minimum3.text, minimum4.text, minimum5.text, minimum6.text, minimum7.text, minimum8.text, minimum9.text, minimum10.text
_root["attempts"+n].text = arr[n].N1; attempts2.text, attempts3.text, attempts4.text, attempts5.text, attempts6.text, attempts7.text, attempts8.text, attempts9.text, attempts10.text
_root["wrong"+n].text = arr[n].N2; wrong2.text, wrong3.text, wrong4.text, wrong5.text, wrong6.text, wrong7.text, wrong8.text, wrong9.text, wrong10.text
_root["date"+n].text = arr[n].D; date2.text, date3.text, date4.text, date5.text, date6.text, date7.text, date8.text, date9.text, date10.text
}

Linking Files - Opening Files
I am a novice on a steep learning curve!

I have just taken over a project with lots of flash/swf files which I think probably should have been setup as one file with many scenes. Is it possible to link from one file to another or will I have to start from scratch and copy and paste assets etc.

Also is it possible to create an action script for a 'button' to open a PDF file from within the movie similar to opening a URL?

Linking Scrollpane Content To Scene Frame Numbers?
I'm trying to create a custom photo album where it loads a scrollpane window that has a movieclip containing thumbnails that link to pictures, that will load up in the scene that the scroll pane is in... It's like this...
For reference, > means contains
Scene1 > scrollpane > pictures movie > thumbnails

thumbnails link to scene1, frame 65.

I have the Picturesmovie linkable for actionscript, and same with the thumbnails, the code i have linking the thumbnail to the main scene is simple...

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 65);
}

But when I click the picture, nothing happens. Using various testing teqniques, i've found that I can't seem to link the movie clip to the scene...is there anyway i can do this?

Linking Swf Files
I am trying to link one swf file to another. However the mouse cursor wont show in the 2nd file when viewing it in full scrren mode.

the first movie has a full screen view. I think click on a button and using the on(release) {loadMovieNum("level1",0) } I link to the new level.

From what I understand loading it into level 0 indicates that I am uploading the previous movie and loading level 1

The problem I am having is that the level 1 swf wont let the mouse cursor (a custom one) to move when I am viewing it in fullscreen mode. It seems to work in the normal window view

Any ideas? I can post the swf files if necessary

Linking Swf Files To Each Other
Hi there,

Any help regarding the following situation is appreciated:

Within an animation I have a button. When a click on the button occurs 4 different animations should be played one after the other. At the end of the fourth animation the first should start again and this should go on continuously until "said otherwise".

I'd like a solution that does not require the modification of the last frames of the individual animations (I have other plans with those frames). Any ideas?

Thanx!

greetings,

Linking Swf Files Together?
Hello friends
I'm having a problem linking swf files together.
It works from the first swf file to the second swf file with the code:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("myfilename.swf", 1);
}

however going back from the second swf to the first swf ( i have 3 scenes in this file) it plays everything on top of each other and it doesn't go to the right frame.

I tried a new code
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("myfilename.swf", ("1, 5"));
}

It's not working either

can anyone help and give me the right code + instructions

Linking To Exe Files
Hi everyone,

I am quite a newbie to all this stuff, so if this is only a simple question, plz forgive me, lol

Ok I am making a standalone flash application, a flyer style thing for a nightclub. And I am working on a goodies section, where people can install a screensaver, theme etc....

However I am having just a small problem when linking to the setup files, here is the code

on (release){
getURL("Goodies/setup.exe", _blank);
}

Now this is indeed calling the setup file, but I get the file download screen (windows default or download manager).

How can I get it to just run the setup.exe file without any further user intervention ??

Cheers,

Help Linking To Files On A Cd From A .swf On Same Cd
hi all, hope your all doing good, I've come to a bit of grief! I have a presentation that autoruns on a cd, the .swf file links to a lot of .gif .html files to be launched into a new browser window from the presentation, I used the getURL function, and when the .swf file is viewed through a html page, the files open fine, but when the .swf file is run alone, without the browser, it tries to go to http://folder/file.gif rather that cd:/folder/file.gif, does anyone know how I can tell the browser where to find the files on my cd?

i would be so grateful for any help, very very grateful,

Each .htm is made of one basic .swf file.
IE. Links.htm contains links.swf and that's all.

The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to put in the correct actionscript in flash to make it so that the "links" button on my main page opens up the corresponding links.htm page in my browser.

I've tried using the "getURL" command, and typing in the path of the file as found on my hard drive, but to no avail.

Also how could I make the page open up in a smaller height and width???

I need to have this project completed by monday afternoon, and I'm in serious need to get it finished. PLEASE HELP ME!!! LOL

Help With Linking Swf Files
Okay, so I'm building a porfolio site of all the work I did in school with Flash MX. We had to make numerous flash movies (moving poems, interpretations of songs, whatever) and I wanted to include them on the site. Ideally, I wanted to just have a link in my flash site that would take you to a new window and play the .swf file, but the new window comes up as a full browser window and you can see my artboard around the project. I couldn't figure out how to make the new window a fixed size to fit the given project.

So.... I exported all those flash projects as .mov files, and linked them to my site using getURL and just directed the link to the internal file. But it's still acting lame as far as when you click on the link. Depending on what computer you're on, sometimes quicktime auto opens for you, sometimes it tries to play the movie on the blank browser window it opens.

Basically, this area is a mess right now. Any suggestions as to how I can clean it up?

[F8] Linking SWF Files
I have seen banners on websites, that have 3 separate banners, somehow linked together. the best example i saw was there was a race track and where the swf files would be not connected the track would go under a tunnel. You raced your car it would go in the tunnel and come out the other side, in the other swf.

Here is a link to that.
http://www.bannerblog.com.au/2006/11...rance_wtcc.php
better check it out and play rather than me trying to explain the thing.

neway I just was wondering if this is VERY difficult to do, because i downloaded the swfs and it works locally with no internet access so its not using database variables.

Linking To Outside Files
Hello all.
I recently got... *cough*... Flash 8 and I haven't been able to figure out the simplest thing: how does one link to an outside file WITHOUT using the useless URL function in the properties toolbox?

Here's the scenario:
> I am experimenting with some game-making.
> I am using a default sized flash movie for the autorun/splash screen (with options for install, readme, etc.).
> I got the autorun part down, I've known that for quite some time (make an autorun.inf for those who don't...).
> But, I don't know how to make the action of clicking "Install" tell Flash to go get my "Extractor.exe" (or whatever.exe, that part's irrelevant) and run it. Or likewise, exit the Movie.

I'm guessing this has to be done in ActionScript, but no where on te internet seems to be a big help.
Any words of wisdom (or abuses... as long as they have wisdom) are appreciated.

I am making a website and I need to link one navigational flash movie to another flash movie (the 'viewer'). It is too large to do as one swf file. So, my question is, how do you link from one movie to the second.

I dont know if this is possible, but I need the button that was pressed to stay 'active' until another button is pressed.
