Flash :: Loading A New Swf On The Main Page Everyday

Loading .swf File Into Main Page
Hello all,
I am having a problem loading a .swf file into my main pages.
The file I am loading, loads into holder_mc, but it no longer works when it has been loaded.

The file I am loading, tests properly (it is a user registration page collecting birthdates, etc.) The combo boxes which I am using for month and day and year selections are not selectable (inactive) when I load the .swf file in to holder_mc (again they work fine when I test the file separately).

I'm sure it's probably something simple I am missing; maybe someone with more experience can help me?

Thanks,
Tatiana

Trouble Loading External .SWF Into My Main Page With Preloaders
Dear All,

I am working on my first Flash project with AS3.

The structure of the flash site is pretty simple. I have a stage 1165px wide x 710px height

Inside my Stage I have an horizontal bar with a menu followed by a container right under.

**** My goal is that whenever I click on one of the button on the menu, that the related external .SWF loads into

the container with a preloading bar and %. *****

I already did all my .SWF files and it is pretty frustrating at this point to be stuck at this point of development.

Please help.

-Alex

Attach Code

// In my actionscript layer, I First I add the default Page to the container:

var CurrentContent:String = ("/broadcast.swf");
// Variable that hold the current external .SWF

var ChateauContent:URLRequest;
var ChateauLoader:Loader = new Loader();
this.ChateauContent= new URLRequest (CurrentContent);
this.ChateauLoader.load(ChateauContent);
addChild(ChateauLoader);
setChildIndex(ChateauLoader,0);

// ------------------------- This code to put it under my menu.

this.ChateauLoader.x=0;
this.ChateauLoader.y=168;

// When I click on a button from the menu I would like to call a function and //pass the value of the External .SWF to load and show a % and loading bar.

// i know this works without a preloader. but how can I add one ?
// I know I'll need 1 dynamic text and a MC rectangle.

this.ChateauLoader.unload();
removeChild(this.ChateauLoader);
{CurrentContent=("/store.swf");
this.ChateauContent= new URLRequest (this.CurrentContent);
this.ChateauLoader.load(this.ChateauContent);
addChildAt(this.ChateauLoader,12);
this.ChateauLoader.x=0;
this.ChateauLoader.y=168;

Naming Of HTML Entry Page & Flash Main Page?
Hey Everyone. What is the best way to name the entry non-Flash (HTML) page - the splash or index page, whatever it's called - that is the gateway to the final Flash site, which will open in a new window? When users type in the basic web URL - for example, http://www.mysite.com - I want them to come upon an entry page that states "Click here for Flash Player 6" and "Enter if you have Flash Player 6". When the user types in the basic URL should I have the entry page called http://www.mysite.com/index.htm?

One step further... How do I configure things so that when the user comes to the entry page, Flash 6 is automatically detected. Detailed answers will be much appreciated, as well as links to tutorials.

peace out,

Why Must I REinstall EVERYDAY?
Every day when I get to a page that requires this software, I get a message similar to this: "You don't have a flash plugin installed or javascript enabled"

If I go to the adobe site to download, it tells me that I already have it installed. I then must uninstall it and then reinstall it -- EVERYDAY?!?!?!

Does anyone know why is this is happening and how I can get it to stop?

TIA!

How To I Add Pictures To A Page, But Not Have Them Show Up On My Main Page.
Hi, I'm very new at this flash stuff and have been on the computer all day today and have tried everything...and I know it can't be hard.

Ok...

I'm creating my web page (I wish I could show it to you, but I'm not sure how).

Anyway...it starts off with the menu bar flying in. All my site will be is a bunch of photos under different catagories (personal site).

After the button flies in, I would like to simply PUSH the button and go the page I've created with the pictures. I can't figure out how to make another page, nor can I make the button push and go to that page.

Any tutorials or anyone can help me.

Thanks.

[F8] Load A Different Dynamic Text Everyday
can anyone help, i have a series of motivational quotes that i would like a different one loaded each day as dynamic text using actionscript

can anyone help with a script

Main Flash Loading External Swf Then Back To Main
SOLVED

Heres a rather complicated situation I am in.

I put together an after effect file and exported it as an swf. Work perfectly. There is no FLA

In my flash file, frame 1 is a preloader. Frame 2 is an Action script that says

loadMovieNum("page1.swf", 1);

And voila, the movie start to play.

Problem is, it doesn't go back to the main on frame 3.

Solution-
Using sorenson squeeze theres an option to load/unload movies that you compress into swfs. There was a stop at the end of my movie with no fla file.

How Do I Focus A Newly Opened Page Opened Through Main Flash Page.
This is the script in my flash file. I would like for it to open the new html window with the size as stated but also bring it to focus in front of all other windows and I cannot seem to find the correct script or know where to put it correctly in this existing script.

on (release) {

sUrl = "Content/Makers/Dadslide1/VDM.html";
wdth = "500";
hdth = "462";
lft = 500;
tp = 10;
getURL("javascript:window.open('"+sUrl+"','yourpag e','width="+wdth+",height="+hdth+",top="+tp+",left ="+lft+
",directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable= no,status=no,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=no'); void(0);")

gotoAndPlay(1);
}

How do i make it to where this window and others will focus to the front when a new button is pressed inside the main flash swf. I am looking all over the place and keep seeing focus script and none of it seems to be working.

Please help and thank you in advanced to those who do.

Loading Main MC Inside Main MC
Hello, Can I ask a question? I have fiinsihed Lazaro Claiborne's
tutorial on "Building A Simple Website."

It works great. My question is - if this makes sense: I want
to put a main2.swf inside my main.swf. Inside of main.2, I
wanted it to have a menu that would also call a .swf file(s)?

I want to make a site on space for my kids at school. In
going to some of these sites, they get lost with overkill
of data. My kids attention level is the third grade. I can
keep their focus really good with Images as I try to teach
them this section of science.

I wanted Main to hold a menu of Planets, Nebulas, etc.

When I click Planets to open that .swf, I wanted a menu in
that .swf to show each planet close up for them to see one
by one.

I saw some things in the forum that seem to come close, but
I dont know enough yet to know if they actually fit what I am
trying to ask?

Thank You - Skyler A. 1/20/07

Main Page Question
hello, i have a question: i created a website (not completely in flash ), where the index is in flash. there is a slight intro, but it's all text, after which, the navbar appears. all the other pages underneath the index are non-flash.

my question is, after someone has perused the site, and let's say they want to return to the home page, the text intro starts before the navbar appears (it take about 10 seconds before the nav appears). is there any way to set up that page such that if someone has visited that page once, the navbar will appear right away? or, would it be easiest if i created a second index page (index2) which is the link on the "return home" link on the navbar of the subsequent pages?

thanks in advance.

Maybe a simple code?

Please could ya help

Oh, one other thing I have a preloader at the front of my movie whic contain a component. Now, know this is a problem but what could be suggested I do?

Thank you once again

Keep Refreshing The Main Page
I created a popup window so that an email form will pop up when visitor click on the link. Here is my code:
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('recommend.htm','','width=600,height=500')");
}

The problem is the main site will refresh itself and give me an error [object] on the page. The email form pop up window work just fine. I am trying to figure out why it refresh the main site when the visitior click on the link. Is there a statement I am missing that will prevent the code from refreshing the main site? The link is located on the main site.

Thanks

Home Page Main Ad Box
I have 3 main questions:

1. What would you call these flash items?
2. Where is a good and easy tutorial about how to make these?
3. Are there any pre-made ones that could be bought?

Here are the examples of what I am talking about: (links below)

http://www.air1.com/ (this is probably the best example of what I am wanting to do)
http://www.bu.edu/
http://www.mitchelsliwa.com/
http://www.jasonreedwebdesign.com/

If I just knew what to call this type of flash would help a lot. I do not believe that it is a flash gallery or flash slideshow.

Main Page Image Size?
Hi everyone,

I got a newbie page to work. Not much to the page, but a work in progress, I guess.

What dimensions do I need to make the main page, so that it completely covers the browser?

I am just learning about the publish settings, specifically with the html file options.

If I do get the original dimensions right, what is the best setting to keep my page 100% in the browser, even if the viewer squishes and stretches it?

Thanks for any help and suggestions,

Andy

Flash Pop-ups Targeting Main Page
[I hope this is the correct place to ask: I accidentally post it under a different forum. Sorry.]

Flash Pop-ups Targeting Main Page
I don't know if my subject line helps, but here's a detailed description of my question:

How do I script/create a Flash, in a pop-up window, to open up a new page in the main page, or second web browser, leaving the pop-up in its own state?

IE:

User loads up a website [Main Window]. User clicks on a link that will generate a pop-up window with a Flash file. There, the user will then click on a hyperlink that will cause the Main Window to open up a new page leaving the pop-up unchanged.

It's like the pop-up controls an exisiting/opened web broswer to load up a new page - WITHOUT having to open a new window.

I hope I didn't confuse everyone! But, thanks in advance!

Popup Main Page Moves...
I've created a popup on a button with this code on (release) {

getURL("javascript:window.open('ketv.html','','wid th=320,height=240,')");

}

The popup works, but the main page naviges to javascript:window.open('ketv.html','','width=320,h eight=240,') , and by that I mean that the line "javascript:window.open('ketv.html','','width=320, height=240,')" appears in the main navigation window.

What have I done wrong. I also searched for an answer before posting, sorry if I did miss it.

How To Load My .swfs / Set Up My Main Page
Hello,

I am in the process of building my Flash site. So far, I have built a sliding menu on the front page with buttons. I plan on loading external .swfs into the area above the sliding menu.

My buttons are HOME, ABOUT, PORTFOLIO, RESUME, CONTACT......Let's say my main .SWF that everything will load into is home.swf......If I place the content above the sliding menu on this .swf and click...lets say the PORTFOLIO button to load the portfolio.swf, how do I get the info on the main page to do its "outro" like the smooth external swf transitions tutorial and leave the sliding menu in place while loading the portfolio.swf?

I guess what I'm asking is how do I automatically load a .swf into my main page upon opening?

Does this make sense? I am looking for some direction. Thanks!

Any solutions would be very appreciated!

This Loader Works Only For The Main Page
Loader: first frame
Total = _root.getBytesTotal();
Loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (loaded>=Total) {
_root.play();
} else {
parcent = (Loaded/Total)*100;
parcent_text = Math.round(parcent);
Bar.p_Bar(parcent_text);
_root.stop();
}
Second frame:
this.gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);
Loading bar:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
function p_Bar(parcent) {
_xscale = parcent;
}
}
First frame-movie
System.useCodepage = true;
stop();

The codings work fine for the main page. But when this loader is added for all the other pages, it takes me only to the home page which opens by default on the main page.

Can I Preload A External .swf File From The Main Navigation Page.
I need to know if I can have a preloader that works from the main navigation page that will load a external .swf that is not in the the main.swf movie. Please Help!

Detailed:
I am working on a site that the navigation page is its own movie or .fla, and the scenes that the buttons call are in there own .fla (there are 9 scenes). So when I export the navigation movie it becomes index.swf, and the scenes .fla is exported (sense there are nine scenes they are export in there own swf. so I have index_one.swf (which index_one.swf is scene1 and so on).
Now when i click on the button that calls the index_one.swf from the navigation page it sits there and the user does not now if the page is not working or its loading. so can I add any type of script to the main navigation page that would let me preload the index_one.swf. I would like it to show loading on the main navigation page and when it has completed it would go, to the new .swf file.

Thanks Jason

Splash Page: Preloader Shows Main Flash Won't
I am hoping someone can help.
I have built a splash page in flash with two scenes. The simple preloader is in one scene and the main flash is in another scene. I have tested the movie and although the scenes don't flow one after in test mode they do work perfectly. I published and loaded the flash online and the preloader shows but the main flash doesn't follow. It is at http://home.earthlink.net/~muse_7. This is my portfolio site and I am preparing for an interview so the sooner I fix the problem the better.

Thanks in advance
