My only succes so far is using the getURL, but this opens the image in a browser or in the same window, and I just want to open a new window with the projector, not an internet browser. PLEASE HELP, I need to get a job with this site.

Loading Flash In The Center Of The Browser Window?
Hey,

Does anyone know how to load a flash file in the center of a browser window? I know how to load the flash file in position (0,0), more specifically, the top-left of the browser window, but I can't figure out how to load it in the center as there are variations in the sizes of monitors and resolutions.

thanks

Pausing After Preload If Browser Window Is Not Active Window
Hi folks,

I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but so far I have had no success. The intention is for anything like a Flash trailer, intro movie or such like which is large to preload and once this is done check to see if the user is still viewing that browser window.

So if during the preloading the user opens/selects a different window and the preloading finishes then the Flash will go to a paused screen, awaiting the user to indicate they want to proceed (eg a play button). If however the user still has, or has returned to, the browser window it will skip the pause screen and play the animation.

For an example the 9th chapter of Ninjai.com seems to do this (I haven't checked the other chapters).

Any help would be appreciated.

Loading Flashmovies Into Browser Window
I have created a flash site with several movies which load into one main movie. Everything works great, until I tried to check it in my browser.
my site has a opening html page, with a link opening the flash site in its own window.
I have IE 5.2 on my mac, and it will only desplay the small contents of the main flash movie, which is virtually nothing. I also tried viewing in netscape navigator, and I am having the same problem. I originally loaded each smaller movie into a target, than tried a level. Nothing works......what can I do??

I am relativley new with flash, and web design all together, so please go easy on me

thanks

Preloading External SWF Then Opening That Swf In A Fixed Browser Window
Hi, I've been looking through Lee's external swf preloader tutorial and advanced pre loader tutorial found here... http://www.gotoandlearn.com/download.php

I've been trying to use the information from both of the tutorials to create a preloader that will load an external swf into a pop-up browser window with fixed dimensions. Also, when the external swf is done loading I don't want it to open right away I want a button click to open the pop-up window with the loaded swf file. Can somebody assist me in figuring this one out? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How Do I Control An External Movie In A Separate Browser Window?
i am creating a website for a band, with an mp3 player. i want to be able to make an mp3 player that pops up in a separate browser window. the mp3 player would have a "playlist" that can be dynamically changed from the main window, which gives a list of albums & tracks to choose from. the model for this is Rhapsody's web interface.
so, how would i go about creating & dynamically changing the playlist (while music is playing) across multiple browser windows? the "playlist" would be an array of references to mp3s, i guess-- so is there a way to pass events & variables across the windows?

Open A New Browser Window And Go To Frame(n) In The New Window
Hi I need some help.

I'm trying to load a new html file that contains a movie but I like to specify to what frame to proceed in that movie I try to write this in actionscript I think it is easier to understand.

// I have 2 html files contact.html and home.html

// And I have one swf file named home.swf with 2 scenes named "home" and "contact"

// The home.html and the contact.html both contain the same home.swf movie

// currently I'm in home.html I like to getURL("../main/contact.html")
that loads the contact.html and the contact.html contains the home.swf but I like to proceed to the gotoAndStop("Scene",1) or gotoAndStop("contact",1)

I hope that was clear enough if you may know the answer please email me I have suffered a lot on this but I just couldn't come up with the answer.

Getting Rid Of The Top Of The Browser Window When Launching A New Window.
hi there,

I have been having trouble getting a flash site to launch a new broswer window for a html document. It worked fine when opening a new flash window but not html.

Anyway someone on here kindly helped me and sent me this code:
getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.design8ed.com/digitalspirit/pages/designcs.html','newWin','width=459,height=171,left =0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,stat us=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(459/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(171/2); setTimeout('NewWindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point) ',100); void(0);");

Which made it work the only thing is it pop up including the browser menu at the top - does anyone know how i can get rid of this?

Also within the html doc - http://www.design8ed.com/digitalspir.../designcs.html i have a close button which when reviewed works but when published it doesn't close the browser window - is there something i'm missing - why isn't it working?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Loading An External .txt Into A Scrolling Window
I am trying to make a news section that my client can update with a .txt file. I have gone through the tutorial for scrolling (which is great) and it uses a .txt, but uses it to generate .html to place in the actionscripting. The second part of the tutorial says it will load an external file in it, but I couldn't seem to find it (did I overlook something?)
So...
1. I need to have a .txt file load automatically into a scrolling window without access the .fla. Is that possible?
2. I couldn't figure out how to have a link in the scrolling text. I checked the html option for the dynamic text, but...

I have also tried using a DHTML scroller, but it doesn't seem to have a way to load a .txt file, either. I am a novice when it comes to this programming stuff, if you haven't gathered! Thanks.

Loading External Image Into A New Window...
I am working on an online catalog for someone, and he wants a bigger version of each image to pop up in a new window when clicked upon. I have the javascript, but what would be the proper code for the button? Would I have to make a swf out of each graphic and use LoadMovie or can I just use plain graphic files, like .jpg?

Loading External Swfs Into New Window

[F8]Help Loading External Text In New Movie/window
I basically want to set up a library or reference source from hundreds of text files I have, and be able to reference multiple text files at one time using multiple windows/movies/swfs.

So I need to be able to have a button that would open a new blank swf (based on a template with scroll?) and then this would open the requested text file. Is this remotely possible? I know I can load external text files into a scrolling box, but is it possible to do what I am trying to do without creating a swf for each text file?

Thanks,
Hal

Loading External Text Into A Attachmovie Window
Hello all,

The current project I am working on is: http://www.steadyscene.com/clubaddiction

The owner would like to update the INFO, CONTACT and LINKS sections of the site but does not have Flash. Having the owner edit a text file in notepad and then upload that to the server would be ideal. (I have seen the Kirupa tutorials but they do not satisfy my requirements)

What I want to accomplish seems to fall in the "Loading external text into a flash movie" category.

However, here is my situation and here are my requirements:

- The text has to be loaded into a attachmovie window. The buttons on the site use attachMovie which snap to an empty mvie clip called "HOLDER"

- currently on the site, you see that I have created standard Dynamic Text boxes with the instance of "infotxt". So the instance name needs to stay as it is, unless there is another method that accomplishes the same thing. This is a basic method of scrolling the text box with a button, using simple actionscript:

on (press) {
infotxt.scroll
infotxt.scroll -= 1; }

Currently, when the navigation buttons are clicked, the attachMovie are loaded into the empty mc "holder". Once the attachMovies are loaded, you see dynamic text fields with buttons to scroll.

Please provide feedback as to what to implement to satisfy my requirements.

Regards,
Daniel

Loading An Swf Into An External Window And Other Scripting Queries.
how you all doing? beginner here...
i have a page with some photo thumbnails, each have been given an instance name.
if i want to load them into an external window, what code should i use?
the layout is 6 pics on one page and each should load in its larger size in another window.preferably once one is loaded and another thumbnail is clicked, the old one could disappear. i've already made individual swf's of the large size pics.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

also, i've always wondered...but on most sites that have preloaders, how does the preloader always show up b/w each sections. say i have my preloader in keyframe 1, with the script written...and each section on say keyframes 10, 15 and 20 resply. is there a script that one needs to put down [like a gotoAndPlay(1)] to play the preloader each time a section button is clicked and the page is loading?

Browser Window In Flash
Hi,

I'm making a movie that I'm going to put on at cd.
But the movie will be shown in the flash player, not in IE or Netscape.
Now I have a button and when I press it I want a new small window to open. But when I use the normal code that you can use when viewing your flashfile in a browser doesn't work. Somebody mailed me and said that I should use the script of actionscript.org but that doesn't work either. Can anybody help me? It's very urgent.

Thanks in advance

Flash That Moves Outside Of Browser Window
I just got a glimpse of something done in flash where the flash animation moves around outside of the browser window, although it was activated from the current page in the browswer somehow.
In this case it was piece of art you could bounce around on the entire screen above all applications running and desktop.

I assume what is being used is a .exe but perhaps it is a flash .swf in its own window and you can't see the window. The shape of the flash art was round so it seemed like there was no window at all and items under it in the current browser window could be selected.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Many thanks in advance.

Flash Animations Over Browser Window
Ive seen this technique for random adverts etc: How is this achieved?

Teh page loads up and an irregular-shaped flash advert appears on screen and either zooms in or out or disappears off screen. is it using DHTML to move teh flash around on screen and if it is, are there any tutorials around to do it?

I need to get a character to appear and flutter around on screen for a bit, say a message then leave again. This is to happen over an existing .asp website that should run independantly of the advert that appears.

Any idea?
