LoadMovie Rather Then GetURL

LoadMovie Or GetURL
I want to make the action on a button create a pop-up which contains info on the product.

Using MX

I Want It All - GetURL+loadMovie
making a photo gallery
have a slew of thumbnails
would like the bigger version of photo to appear in a separate popup when thumbnail is clicked
simple, no?

ideally, i would like to load an external .swf into a new popup window (not replacing my main movie) and go directly to the photo that has been requested.

questions:
1. is there any way to avoid spawning a new html page using geturl?
(ie, must the new swf be loaded in a new html page or is there a way to spawn a custom swf pop in my flash movie w/o replacing my main flash?)

2. can i ask loadMovie to load my swf in a new window so that it doesn't replace my main movie?

3. can loadMovie pass variables so that when i click on the thumbnail in my main window, the larger version of the same image will be opened in my new window.

help, helllllpp, and thank you

GetUrl And Loadmovie
I have a button on one site which links to another site. The code on the button is:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.signet-intl.com/", "_self");
}


This will normally load the 'index.swf' and 'about.swf' loads into an empty mc named 'container'. Is there a way to have 'contact.swf' load into this mc when the original button is pressed?
Hope that explains it. Basically I want the button to take the user straight to the contact form on the new site.

LoadMovie Or GetURL ?
Hello -

I have been having issues with the loadMovie function, as in, I can't get it to work after numerous tutorials... BUT I have can easily load the SWF onto the remote site and call it out from the site, well, here's an example:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("http://www.website.com/movie.swf", 1);
}

Geturl Command Or Loadmovie?
i'm building a page set for user to view thumbnail images listed by various manufacturers. upon mouse event release by the user a larger image of that thumbnail is displayed. with several manufacturers being listed on the site you can imagine the .swf can get fairly large. my idea was to break these movies up in to there own .swf files to be called up on either a geturl or loadmovie command by the user.

my question is, is what is the expression i use for the www blank in the actionscripting box of the geturl command? is it something like http://www.xxxx.swf? i have all of these movies saved withing the same directory right now. what are the other two expressions i want in this situation? send using GET, don't send, etc.? is this correct, or does this sound like a situation to use loadmovie instead.

i'd appreciate any ideas and thoughts towards my situation...

thanks,

LoadMovie/getURL Problem
Im loading a movie (links.swf) into a main swf that consists of a number of links to URL's that open in blank windows.

what im trying to do is when a user clicks on one of the links, it opens in a blank window and the main movie in the other window runs a screensaver which is really just a movie clip. (see "on release" below).

There is one main button that controls everthing:

on (rollOver) {
_level0:halt = 1;
_level0p = 18;
}
on (rollOut, releaseOutside) {
_level0:halt = 0;
_level0p = 0;
}
on (keyPress "<Up>") {
enlhip.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (keyPress "<Down>") {
enlhip.gotoAndPlay(16);
}
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.whatever.com", "_blank");
_root.saver.gotoAndPlay("saver");
}


when i launch the "links.swf" it works perfectly. But if i try the same through the main swf, it doesn't.

seems a simple problem but its been annoying me. can anyone help?

LoadMovie() , GetURL() Problems
I'm having something rather strange happen... I have a movie that acts as an intro and when it's finished, loads a different movie.

Basically, the last frame of the movie is nothing but blank keyframes and then one action:

loadMovie("scroller.swf", _root);

This works fine locally; it loads the movie as expected. When I upload it to a website, it fails. The pane where the movie was turns white, and the scroller.swf movie never loads. I've tried replacing "scroller.swf" with various relative and absolute paths to the file, none of which work.

What's even more strange is that when i tried a getURL from the promo.fla file, it worked locally but not remotely. Oddly enough, both functions are behaving correctly in the scroller.swf file. You can see scroller.swf in action at www.t-mm.com and see that those function swork there.

The scroller.swf file is in the library of the attached file; it just loads some images dynamically and puts them into a scroller. scroller.swf was developed by me, the promo.fla file i just started trying to set up to load the scroller at the right time.

any suggestions are appreciated

Replacing GetURL With LoadMovie
I have an e-mail movie which is introduced onto another movie, currently using the GetURL script. What I would like to do is to change the GetURL for LoadMovie, but the e-mail send button doesn't work if I do this.

The movie which shows how things should work is here...
http://www.uk-martin.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/test.htm

The source files are here to be downloaded

GetURL/loadMovie Question
I have a main swf. file that the user first goes to and several other .swf files that they can select to see. All files are rather large and will only be viewed on a CD. My question is this. How can I make a fluid transition from one swf file to another?

I have tried to use a button with the code

On(Realease){
getURL("name_1.swf",1)
}

This works but it takes to long to load. SO I have also tried

function loadSWF(){
loadMovie("name_1.swf",1)
}
this works quicker but the problem lies in I still see all the buttons from the main swf. file and I need the fps to be slower.

Does anyone know what I can do? I want the transition from the main swf. file and the name_1.swf to be quick, have the ability to change the fps, and only show the buttons on the current swf. that I am using.

I am using FLASH MX
Thanks

Problem Switching From GetURL To LoadMovie
I need to have a mailer in the site tha I am building. Originally I hag a GetURL command to load the Mailer SWF file into the underlying movie. However, for other reasons, I needed to change to a LoadMovie command. Loading via LoadMovie as caused the Mailer to stop working correctly.

Te mailer SWF file will load OK, but not function. When it works, pressing submit causes the info to be e-mailed to me, but also there is a message come up on the mailer.

Can anyone help me to alter the actionscript to suit the situation, so that the mailer will function again.

A demo of the finished mailer is at http://www.uk-martin.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/test.htm

See the file attachment for the inside track of what makes up what I've got.

Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

Projector - LoadMovie And GetURL Not Workyworky
greetings,

I have a major problem here because my projector file isn't loading any kind of swf. furthermore it refuses to open pdf files too.
(first I thought no button is working....well, the internal ones do )

the swfs should load with
loadMovie("clips/mymovie.swf", _root.MC1.containterMC);
and the pdfs should pop open with
getURL("pdf/My.pdf", "_blank");



well, they don't.
but only in the projector file.
It all works well when I export the main movie as swf. all buttons do what they should--->pop up the pdfs or load the external swfs

am I missing something :looksquiteconfused:

any idea or help or tip will be much apreciated

thanksalot fuMp

OLDNEWBIE's Preloader...how Can I Get It To Work With GETURL Instead Of Loadmovie?
I need to use OLDNEWBIE's preloader as shown below (it is placed in the first frame of the .fla.) BUT (there is always a BUT). I need it to use getURL once the movie has loaded in the clipholder.

Any ideas? I've tried many variations, but nothing works.

Thanks a Million!

GetURL Or Not GetURL That Is The Question ...
Hi, please bear with me as I'm not a Flash programmer so am stumbling around here.

I have a SWF which uses a GetURL to pass a variable into the address bar. The problem is the variable it needs to pass is required by the existing form the SWF is embedded on. For reasons I won't bore you with I can't simply reload the form etc so the problem is of course GetURL opens a new page and in so doing loses the form I need the variable to be passed in to.

My question is this therefore - is there an equivalent command like geturl which puts a value in the url bar but DOESN'T activate it i.e. as if you didn't hit go/return in the browser OR a way to stop getURL from loading the "new" page?

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for any help ...

LoadMovie Calling MC With LoadMovie Problem
I am loading a movie clip into a target MC on my timeline and it works fine, but the movie clip that I'm loading in is also using loadMovie to load a movie into a MC on it's own timeline. For some reason, the MC that is getting loaded doesn't load the MC it is calling on it's own timeline. It works fine when I test it out on it's own, but as soon as I load it in using the first MC, the loaded MC doesn't call the movie clip it's supposed to load.

Any suggestions?

LoadMovie/loadMovie From Loaded Movie?
I know I know .. messed up heading .. but ..

I have a button that loads a swf into an empty mc (sliderContainerMC)

(release) {
_root.sliderContainerMC.loadMovie("http://www.justinsteiger.com/flash/anims/sliderOpen.swf");
}

That works as advertised. The difficulty comes when I tell the button on that swf to load a new swf into the same MC (sliderClose.swf). Since the swf in the MC (sliderOpen.swf) isn't the same swf (loading into a MC in justinsflashsite.swf) do I need to change the path? Say to include something telling it to load the swf into the parent swf?

Eventually the swf that's called into the empty MC is going to have buttons that are supposed to call up other swf's that load in other empty MC's around the site. HELP?!

Thanks,
Justin
http://www.justinsteiger.com/flash/justinsflashsite.fla (Is the parent swf)

Loadmovie Inside Loadmovie Problem?
Hi,

I have a main movie which use's the loadmovie function to load up an external SWF. But then inside that SWF there is another loadmovie function to load another external SWF into that.

But the problem is that when the first movie is loaded all of its loadmovie commands are disabled.

Is there something i could do to rectify this?

Thanks,

Local Loadmovie Ok / Online Loadmovie Bad
I'm at my wit's end with this one. I have an swf that's loading fine locally but refuses to be loaded online. Here's the script. It's in the first frame of the root mc ....
code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("slideshow", this.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.slideshow.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc ", 0);
slideshow_btn.onRelease = function() {
this._visible = 0;
this.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.slideshow.container_mc.loadMovie("temp.swf") ;
};


Loads no problem locally. Nothing when I upload it. I have lockroot set to true in the same frame as the above script. I also tried a simple test with ....
code:
_root.slideshow.loadMovie("temp.swf");

.... in a simple mc containing only a 'slideshow' mc. Works if I access the URL directly, doesn't if I put it in an html page. What mistake could I be making?

thanks

[F8] Need To Change A Variable In A LoadMovie Mc While In Another LoadMovie Mc
So I have a shell mc that has 2 mc's loaded into it with loadMovie (let's call them project1 and project2). While I'm in project1...how do I change a variable in project2 to be true instead of false?

I thought I could do it like this (in Project1...):
myBtn.onPress = function()
{
_parent.dropZone_project2.myVar = false;
}

Nothing seems to be working. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Resize LoadMovie Container, Not LoadMovie?
I've searched and searched but haven't found what I'm looking for.

I'm wanting to load different sized .swf into the same field and I want the field to adjust (preferably some smooth transitions for the size change) to fit the size of each different .swf loaded. I've seen it done on quite a few sites but I haven't been able to find a tutorial of any kind addressing this specifically. Can anyone help?

I'm keeping it simple, i.e. thumbnails with titles above or off to the side; click one; the field where the .swf will play adjusts itself; .swf loads and plays. When completed, user can click another thumbnail and the previous .swf will "unload" then the field adjusts for the new .swf and the new one loads. Follow me? Just any tutorial you guys may know of would be great.

Here's the closest example I could find... cool site too. http://www.pollenation.org

Loadmovie Over Prev Loadmovie And Positioning Jpg
Hello, a little question and i have the feeling i am very close.

i use loadmovie to load an image into an movieclip.
that movieclip goes to the position x and y of the movieclip - the loaded image width/2

my problem is that when i load a new image the position is not correct.

my code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function nextImage1()
{
if (p < total - 1)
{
++p;
if (loaded == filesize)
{
trace(p);
trace("x van inst0"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._x);
trace("y van inst0"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._y);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._alpha = 0;
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0.holder.loadMovie(image[p], 1);

var maxWidth = 250;
var maxHeight = 200;

var myWidth = litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width;
var myHeight = litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height;
// Calculate percentage by which image will need to change to fit
if (myWidth > maxWidth){
var xscalePercent = (myWidth*100)/maxWidth;
}
if (myHeight > maxHeight){
var yscalePercent = (myHeight*100)/maxHeight;
}
// Multiply both height and width by the bigger percentage
if (xscalePercent>yscalePercent) {
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width /= (xscalePercent/100);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height /= (xscalePercent/100);
} else {
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width /= (yscalePercent/100);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height /= (yscalePercent/100);
}
var test=litlimg_instance._x-(litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width/2);
trace("width img:"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width);
trace("width:2 :"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width/2);
trace("x position must be:"+test);
trace("x position is:"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._x);
trace("----------------------------------------------------");

litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._x=litlimg_instance._x-(litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width/2);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._y=litlimg_instance._y-(litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height/2);
slideshow();
} // end if
} // end if
} // End of the function


function slideshow()
{
function pause_slideshow()
{
clearInterval(myInterval);
if (p == total - 1)
{
p = 0;
firstImage1();
}
else
{
nextImage1();
} // end else if
} // End of the function
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, 4000);
} // End of the function

p = 0;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what i do is i have an array with the image links.
on a interval i load an image. and if p has reached the number of loaded images i start over again.

i traced the following while testing a bunch of images:
-------

1
x van inst0-125
y van inst0-93.55
width img:250
width:2 :125
x position must be:-125
x position is:-125
----------------------------------------------------
2
x van inst0-125
y van inst0-93.55
width img:258.05
width :2 :129.025
x position must be:-129.025
x position is:-125
----------------------------------------------------
3
x van inst0-129
y van inst0-93.55
width img:140.3
width :2 :70.15
x position must be:-70.15
x position is:-129
----------------------------------------------------
4
x van inst0-70.15
y van inst0-93.55
width img:243.2
width :2 :121.6
x position must be:-121.6
x position is:-70.15
----------------------------------------------------
1
x van inst0-125
y van inst0-93.55
width img:250
width :2 :125
x position must be:-125
x position is:-125
----------------------------------------------------

It looks like he takes the position of the prev image or something like that.

Please some help here.

Ps: this was some code i posted.. i would like to know how you put it into such a nice code block on the forum so it becomes more readable.

Set LoadMovie Time, UnloadMovie, LoadMovie
in that order-

Put simply-
can anyone guide me to any resources that would explain how to do this?

1. Load 2 swf's into empty mc's (this part is already done)
2. Have those 2 swf's be on the stage for 3 seconds.
3. Unload those 2 swf's.
4. Then load a completely new swf once those have been unloaded.

LoadMovie Talks To Other LoadMovie
ok this is baffling me!

i'm using loadmovie (target movieclip) alot

*main.swf
contains
**buttons.swf

i need button.swf to tell main.swf to loadMovie "contents.swf" into another movieclip.

i thought it would be as easy as:

[this script on button in button.swf]

on(release) {
loadmovie("contents.swf", _root.contents)
}

but of course this loads "contents.swf" into level0 of the current .swf (buttons.swf)

do i use globals or something?

set up ALL scripts in main.swf...

LoadMovie Inside LoadMovie
im trying to make a movie clip that loads another swf that in turn loads a movie;



I created A.swf, which contains a movieclip; inside it has a shortshort animation and then loads an image:

loadMovie("image.jpg",_root.Image.PlayerScreen);
//_root.Image is the movieclip

then i created B.swf, wich loads A.swf;

loadMovie("A.swf", _root.PlayerScreen);

the problem is that B.swf loads with no prob, it loads the animation in A.swf, but instead of getting the image, i get a purple square...

any idea what's wrong?

thnx!

Using GetURL With A CD
i am making a zine/CD. i am using GoLive for the html folder and the site creation. in the end, the entire site will be loaded onto the CD. in one html page i have a .swf and in the last frame i want a button that when pressed will launch an .html file from the website i intend to put on CD.
i have tried different ways of putting in the url...and get varying results but none that work.
I am using the GetURL action and each time i can get the browser to launch a blank window....but getting it to find my file in the CD is another story.

if the folder with the site is called AEZ....wouldn't a link like

/aez/file.html work???
apparently not since i tried that. also tried using just the file name
/file.html and i get a server not found message in the browser.
is there a different action i should be using??

HELP.....this can't be that difficult, right?
fuzzy on the coding of this, Julie

GetUrl
this is really easy, I'm sure of it, but its just doing my head in
I'm making an interactive portfolio, there are some buttons that link to html files that will be on the cd with the projector. I want to open these up but anything that I put in the getURL command doesn't work, e.g

getURL ("media/test.htm", "_self")
getURL ("test.htm", "_self")
getURL ("file://test.htm", "_self")


etc
etc

Am I missing something, or can you not target a file without using the full address. I can't use the full address as I don't know what drive number the cd will be on the users machine, anyone know how?

cheers

GetURL
hello to everyone,

as u can c i am totally a newbie in flash.

ok here is my problem:

In this .fla file (done by someone else) it has a set of buttons with actions, which is getURL. the URL parameter calling a javascript function on my html page which will when open the URL (passed from the flash button) in a pop up window.

Now what happened is the pop up window would load up the url and then load it up again, this leads to a problem of flicking flashing the new window.(this is only with IE, in NS it works fine!)

So I tested my javascript with normal html links that works fine no such thing, and then I have put "_blank" in the window parameter fo the getURL action, saved it. and this time when ever I click on the flash button, it opens up two new pop up windows, but with error loading the required page.

So I am just thinking if this is a side effect of the getURL action, ir there is a similar action I could use instead of getURL to call the javascript function? or if any of you have expirience the problem before and have a solution for it?

any ideas?
many thx in adv

How To With GetURL ?
I need to pass a variable onto a querystring using getURL. The problem that I am running into is that I have flash movie embedded in an html page. After an if statement has been ran through in the flash movie the user is directed to a different URL. In addition to passing the URL using getURL I need to pass a reference number. I've done this before using loadmovie, but since I need to change the entire page not just the movie that won't work. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The redirect URL would be something like this with refNumber being the variable:

/test/direct.asp?refNumber= refNumber

GetURL

tried this path also...

geturl ("./ra.html", "_blank");

Please let me know. Thanks.

GetURL
I am making a product CD. On the MC, I created a button with a getURL link to a html file stored in the same folder as all the Flash files.

on(release){
getURL("D:abc.htm");
}

However, when someone installed the entire cd into their C drive, the getURL does not work because it is still looking at the D drive. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks

GetURL
Hi folks, I am brand new to this board and I have a question for you about the getURL function or equivlent.

I have a movie clip with a button inside it.
My code is as follows:

on (press){
getURL("mailto:blah@blahblah.com","_blank");
}

The problem is I simply want this link to bring up e-Mail but I cannot get it to work. If I put a real URL in place of the mailto: then it does work so I know I have everything else correct, I just don't have the right function or syntax.....can you help. I am using FLASH MX. Thanks a million
