Call An Swf File To Load Into Html Document From Seperate Swf File In HTML.
I am trying to get advise on the best way to do this or how to do this. I have a layout that the customer is happy with, in an HTML document, but the SWF files will be seperated because of the layout. If you go to this link, you will see what I mean. It all takes place inside of the black bar...

http://www.hairdrezzersonfire.com

I want the icon movie on the left to play first and after it is done, I want to be able to call the main SWF file to play in the center of the black area. After that's done, I want that main SWF file to call the text logo movie to play that comes in on the right side of the screen.

I assume that I will use a placeholder of some sort in an HTML cell and it will be replaced by the swf file, but I don't know how to call it with actionscript. Any ideas?

Load External Swf Into A Specific Area And Confine Interactivity To That Area... ?
Hello again,

I have a problem I've been trying to solve below.

I have a file that loads external swf files onto the screen, but I need these swfs to load into a specific 1024x644 area in the main movie.

I need the external swfs to maintain their interactivity while the mouse is over their area, but not when the mouse is over other parts of the screen (I need other buttons to still be accessible outside the area of the loaded swf.

As it is now, the mouse properties of the loaded swf take over the entire movie and render the buttons useless.

Below is some code I'm using. Can anyone provide examples of code that positions an external swf into a specific area and contains its interactivity?

I'm still very new to AS, so it's difficult for me to understand how to do things without specific code examples to look at. Also, if my code is inefficient or sloppy, please let me know.

Thanks.

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

function buttonPush1(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mousetrail_644.swf");
loader.load(url);
this.addChild(loader);
}

Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonPush1);

function buttonPush2(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("magnify2.swf");
loader.load(url);
this.addChild(loader);
}

Btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonPush2);

function buttonPush3(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mapcursor_644_2.swf");
loader.load(url);
this.addChild(loader);
}

Btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonPush3);

function accessDenied(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("scanner_denied");
}

Btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, accessDenied);

Drag Onto Target Area
Hello, I'm having trouble getting Flash (MX) to recognize when i've dropped my MC onto another one. I've tried a few tutorials on it here and the one at actionscript.org, but i'm still not quite getting it. Ok, here's what I have:

Dragging Movieclip = mc1
Target Movieclip = mc2

on mc1:

Quote:

on (press) {
startDrag (lockcenter)
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (mc1._droptarget == "mc2") {
mc1._visible = false;
}
}

I'm not sure exactly why this isn't working, so if anyone could help me out i'd really appreciate it.

SWF File Load After HTML
I'm sorry, this question has probably been asked a million times before, but I'm really desperate and I've spent all day looking for an answer.

Is there a javascript that makes the SWF file load _AFTER_ the html code, or something similar?

I'm making a hybrid Flash/HTML site and it bothers me that the flash file starts loading and playing without the hml framework.

I'll greatly appreciate an answer!

Swf To Load Html File From Same Cd?
I have a rather seemingly simple question. We are constructing a cd that will autorun and begin playing a flash animation (swf file), and at the end of that animation, I need to put some actionscript into the last frame that will end it, kill the player window, and open a browser window and go directly to an html file on that same cd. Could someone provide a snippet of code that would achieve this? I am using Flash CS3 but am sticking to actionscript 2.0 for the movie. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Target Area Effect While Still Dragging
Flash MX 2004. My drag and drop is working fine, but now I want the target area to highlight or something while the mouse is over it but not released yet, like its confirming the target area I want to drop in. The target area is several irregular polygon shapes. I would prefer if the target area would show an outline around the area.

My button try didn't work because I'm already pressed down on another button (the one I'm dragging).

Thanks,
Jim

URGENT - How Do I Load An HTML File Into An MC?
Does anyone have any script for loading an HTML file into an MC (not for variables, but for viewing the actual HTML file)

I'm trying to make this site, http://www.cornerstoneras.com/v3 (that's the demo name) and we're trying to make the paper in the middle load the HTML into it, and would this HTML have the scrollbars necessary to scroll the site?

Also, our first approach was to load images from HTML in a text file (external) but I was told this was impossible from one person, and possible by another - have any solutions or ideas on how we can get this site going?

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Load Text File With Html
i am trying to load a text file that has html and to let it appear in a dynamic text box in flash. because of the length of the content, i looked around for a scroll bar. this scroll bar that i found actually uses a mask to work. however, i suspect that it is this mask that doesnt allow the code to work. no text can be shown in the textbox when its properties is set to dynamic. it does show in static text box but static doesnt allow coding. when set to dynamic, i have to embed the text inorder for the text to show. this isnt needed usually and now it needs. now, i have a black button. this button is to change the dynamic textbox in my flash to what it should be in the text file and render as html. i tried many many ways but its not working. but of course, masking might not be the problem as i am just guessing.
the other thing about this whole thing is that the first movie, which i named contentmain as its instance name, does not recognise its name as contentmain but instance9. i tried to debug it and thats what i notice if i am not wrong.
i have uploaded an example file to this thread.
please save target as when download...thanks
can some experts overhere please help me to get it work?
thanks a million...

Mouse Trailer With Confined Target Area

Here is the code I am starting with - The file is written in AS2 for Flash 8+

//mouseTrailer

var cur_x = _xmouse;
var cur_y = _ymouse;
var limit = 3;
var min = 30;

var dist = Math.sqrt(delta_x*delta_x+delta_y*delta_y);
old_x = cur_x;
old_y = cur_y;
if (dist>limit) {
i++;
attachMovie("ball", "ball"+i, -510+i);

Issues In Loading External Swf Into Target Area..
We have planned to do a presentation like http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/e...oducttours.swf and I hope I could manage with the accordion.
But the problem comes in loading of external swfs in the main content area.
Even i am new to action script, I came to know that this involves container movie clip, script for button blah..blah..
I am looking for a step by step tutorial kinda method to follow to achieve this ,as i am new to scripting.
Attached is the so far tried work.

Dynamically Improve The Target Area Of Buttons
In the Macromedia White Paper on Flash usability there is the paragraph:

According to Fitt â€™s Law,â€œThe time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target.â€ Simply
stated,this means the bigger a button is the easier it is to click;and the easiest item to click on the screen is one
that is closest to the mouse pointer and largest in screen size.

When designing in Macromedia Flash elements like buttons that interact with the user â€™s cursor or mouse arrow
apply to Fitt â€™s Law.Navigation elements should be the easy to click.One unique way that Macromedia Flash can
improve the â€œclickability â€ of a button is by using ActionScript to dynamically improve the target area of buttons as
the cursor approaches them.

My question is how do I do this?

I just want to know the actionscript i would need to change the size of a movie clip so that as the mouse gets closer to it, it becomes larger and as the mouse moves away it gets smaller.

thanks

Can I Load A .html File From Within A Flash Movie?
is it possible to load a .html file from within a flash movie? i tried placing a "load movie" action on a button but it doesn't work.
i am creating a cd with flash and i have a .inf file loading a .exe and i wanted the user to then be able to choose the flash version or the html version. but the "load movie" comand will not open the html file in the browser.
is there a better way to do this? can i use autorun.inf to open the html file in the browser? it doesn't seem to work the same as an .exe.
thanks
