Simple GetURL Command Not Working...please Help


I have a flash movie in one frame, trying to call out another frame to change the page. In older versions of flash this was simple, getURL("mypage.html", "frameName"). I have CS3 and cannot get this command to work now, and I am exporting the flash file out as version 6. Can anyone help me solve this?
Thanks

GetURL Command Not Working
Hey Guys,

I seem to have a problem that may or may not be linux related. I have a basic flash navigation that loads external subnav swf's into target movie clips...so far so good.

Within those individual subnav swf's...I have buttons sitting on top of each swf's 2nd frame (I have a mouseover command going on...thus the 2nd frame).

I have a very basic getURL command setup as part of the code...as follows:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.website.com/services/default.php");
}
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Now I had a devsite for this nav and this dev site is hosted on a windows server. It loads everything fine and works exactly as it should.

The problem began when I ported over the site to a new dev site which is linux hosted. All of a sudden the links stopped working. Interesting to note - if you load up the .swf in firefox directly - the links will click through. If you try to click on them from the actual top level swf containing the external movie clips...nothing happens. Any ideas?

*Note* I'm exporting in actionscript 2.0

Simple GetURL Not Working In Firefox
Hi fella's & gals,

The piece of code that I'm having trouble with, is not very spectactular:
getURL("info.htm");

This is working perfectly in IE when I open the html-page directly from my HD, and when I view my site through localhost to check out my data being loaded from database through aspx.

It also works perfectly in Firefox when I open the html-page directly from my HD.

BUT!
When I try to view my site through localhost in Firefox, this simple piece of code which should open a new html-page, DOESN'T work!
There is simply no reaction from the browser.

Anyone know why?
I'm not sure if it's a problem, since I can't test this site online yet.
But it can't be good that it doesn't work on localhost.

GetURL Command
Hi,

I'm trying to create a flash page where you enter a word into an input box then click a button... that button then takes you to:

"http://www.website.com/(input)/index.html"

with (input) being the text they entered, can anyone tell me how i would go about doing this?

I understand how to get the button to navigate to a specified url but how would i tell it to go to the address above with the (input) text in there?

Thanks,

Murph.

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,

Can You Use Javascript In A GetURL Command?
I want to be able to use the getURL command to open a new browser window but I want to use the JavaScript window.open command to control its size and attributes. Anybody know how to do this?

Or, does anybody know how to use javascript to change the size of a window once it's open? I think I've seen that on sites before but can't think of any that use it right now.

The above are ideas; any suggestions on how to do the same thing a different way would be appreciated too.

JavaScript - GetURL() Vs FS Command?
ok heres the dealio. I have a windows media and a flash piece embeded on a html page. I have functions in java script written out to control the media player piece that i cue from flash buttons. Now the problem is from what i know the getURL method isbest for compatibility for cueing the JS functions however on win2k and xp in IE using the getURL to hit the JS causes the media player to stop regardless the command im calling. U can hear that stupid little audio click that a link was hit but the page doesnt do a refresh or anything. it seesa as if IE reads the getURL(JavaScript:....) as more of a href link than an onClick or so. Fscommand isnt cutting due to the fact it doesnt work across all platforms and such compared to getURL. Any ideas? what would ultimate is a way to get getURL to work in IE without doing its wierd soft refresh link click or whatever its trying - that is inevtably killing the stream. Thanks in advanced for any ideas.

GetURL Command For Docs And Xls
Hey everyone,
Quick question. I have a flash nav bar with buttons that call the getURL command to retrieve a word document. For some reason, when I include getURL("word.doc", "_blank"); I get a lot glitches. Some people say that they can open it while others say they get a page that says "action canceled". However, when these individuals press refresh on the new page, they have access to the needed file. Any thoughts on what might be going on. This pattern seems to hold true for any document that is referenced with a blank target. Ultimately, I just need for flash to open up a document in a new window. What is the best way to do that? Thanks for the help

GetURL(mailto:) Command Help.
Hi guys,

I currently have this code on my website to send me an email when they push the button.

on (release) {
getURL("mailto:email@domain.net.au?Subject=APS831 Automatically generated email.")
;}

It works fine, but what I need to know is how I can attach a 'Print out' of frames 167, and 180 when they push the button aswell, this is based on the assumption that someone who has no idea about computers will be using the application, so it needs to attach automatically so all they need to do is press 'Send'.

I also have a Print button on my thingo that uses a printAsBitmap control, (which sends frames 167 and 180 to the printer) so those two frames are already marked with the #p, is there some way I can utilise this in my code?

GetURL Command Problem
Hi,

I'm new in Flash and have encountered some weird thing with the getURL command.
My application is build on Javascript using embedded Flash objects. I have to pass parameters between Javascript and Flash and back. I don't have any problem to pass parameters to Flash and use them as a variable afterwards in Flash, but when I try to launch the HTML with parameters from the Flash I have the following problem:

getURL("MyApp.html?param","_self")

The MyApp.html is perfectly launched, but everything starting from the "?" is just cut and not transferred.

But when I use as a target URL for getURL command the internet addresses, like http://www.whatever.com?param, the param part is perfectly transferred and can be seen on the URL address line.
I thought that it could be related to the local/network Flash security stuff, but didn't find anything the solve the case.
Can somebody help me with it?

Question On The GetURL Command.
I tried searching, but it seems all the topics on redirects are a bit more complex than what i'm looking for.

I was always under the impression that the getURL command would work as a simple redirect. But it isn't.

What i'm trying to do is have a flash file go to a different web page at the last frame.

So I put getURL("link", "_self") in the last frame, and nothign happens.

then I tried putting it inside of an if statement where the parameters were true, and that didn't work either.

does the getURL command only work when its done through some sort of action (liek an on(click) ), or is there a way to use it to redirect inside of a frame without the viewer doing anything?

Thanks,
Zach

GetURL Command After Animation
Hi,
I'm trying to use the getURL command after an animation. Right now what's happening is that even before the animation has completed, the website would be loaded. Is there a way to force it so it would wait until the animation has completed before it would load the webpage? Any help would be great.



on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on (release) {

if (_root.link<>5 && _root.G==3) {
_root.scroller.gotoAndStop("s0");
a_root["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s4");
_root.link = 5;
_root.play();
}
getURL ("http://www.google.com", "_self");

GetURL(mailto:) Command Help.
Hi guys, I currently have an email button in my presentation, which when clicked, opens the clients email program with all the required fields already filled (recipient, subject) using this code:

on (release)
{
getURL("mailto:user@domain.net.au?Subject=APS831 Automatically generated email.")
;}

I also have a 'Print' button which when pressed prints frames 167 and 180. What I need to achieve is to get my email button to behave in a similar fashion, by automatically attaching frames 167 and 180 to the email, for instance in a bitmap format or something? Maybe using a printscreen option?

I had the idea of using some sort of 'Print to file' dialog, but this has the draw back of requiring the user to have a virtual print spool driver.

GetURL Command Disables My Swf
Hello

I have some pictures ordered in image gallery and I made a button which opens the currently viewed image in a new window using getURL command in order for users to be able to download these images on their computer. The problem is that the moment I use this button, my flash won't display my pictures any more. The other functions in my swf work fine it just won't load any new images in image gallery. Note that this only happens when the swf is on a server as a webpage, if I run it from localhost this doesn't happen.

Is something perhaps funny about this getURL function or am I missing something?

Thanks for answering

Problem With Variable In GetURL Command
I'm trying to pass some variables from one asp page to another via Flash. Problem is, every time I try to use a variable within the getURL command, it isn't passed through to the next page. I've tried both the following bits of AS so far:

url=eval("http://yaddayadda.com/blah.asp?area=" + areavariable + "&x=" + xvariable + "&y=" + yvariable);
getURL(url);

The code above doesn't work at all.

getURL("http://yaddayadda.com/blah.asp?area=" + areavariable + "&x=" + xvariable + "&y=" + yvariable);

The url returned using this method is as follows:

http://yaddayadda.com/blah.asp?area=&x=&y=

ie, the string is parsed but the variables are ignored completely.

Anyone know how to pass a variable through the getURL command?

Difficulty With GetURL Command In FlashMX
Hello all!

For reference, here is the site in question
http://www.chibardun.net/~jonsson

if you note on the side navigation bars
there are 4 (will be more eventually) buttons which change to "hands" when you place the cursor over them...

I have put in every piece of code I've seen on the subject into the actions box for each of the buttons to attempt to make them GET a NEW URL to open on top of the entire window (its not in frames)

this is the exact code ive been using (or a close variant)

on (release) {
getURL(index.htm,_top);
}
EVERY single post I have read and every piece of documentation Ive seen suggests that this should work... however it does not!!!

Help please!!

Using The GetURL Command As Mail From A Button
Hi I am relatively new to Flash MX. In the title bar of my
website I placed a "contact us" button. I want the contact us button to function in a way that when someone clicks it, it takes him to an e-mail client such as Outlook Express. I have read somewhere that this can be done using the getURL command from Actions panel by entering for example mailto:mail@campusfm.com in the URL box. I tried this with different e-mails and it did not work. Strangely when I tried to put a website address like http://www.cnn.com it worked.

Any help or suggestions of how can I solve this?

I HAVE ATTACHED MY MAIN.FLA FILE.

Variables In GetURL Command On A Button?
Is it possible to assign variables to the getURLcommand?
I have my variables in an external .html-file.

Here is some pieces of my code:

var URLlink = "link" +i, ("i" is a counter)

-> URLlink = link1, which is stated in the variables as "&link1=http://www...."


I then tried to use this variables in the actionscript on a button:

on (release) {
getURL(link1);
}
but it only returns "link1!

Is there a smart way to assign the variables to the button?


I would appreciate any hints :·)

GetURL Command And Directory Paths Help
I've previously made a website for a course I did and I used some nice looking flash buttons that link to the different sections of the site via the getURL command. Now I need to show it off as part of my portfolio however if I move it out of the directory on the hard drive the links no longer work(naturally,since the path doesn't match) I'm not all that knowledgable in ActionScript and I need some way of getting it to read from the root directory so to speak, in other words the same directory as the button.swf is in instead of specifying the path manually. I can do it in html but I have no idea how to do it in Flash.
Can someone help me,please.

If Loop/delaying GetURL Command
Hi

I am currently working on a Flash/HTML hybrid site, where the navigation affects something in the swf (in this case an animation) and also passes a getURL command to the browser.

The problem I am having is that when viewing just the swf everything works fine, but when I ask the button to pass the getURL command the animation runs a bit jerky.

I was wondering if it would be possible to delay the getURL command until the animation has finished, in the hope that this will result in the animation running smoothly?

To make things clearer, here are some links:

Just animation
http://www.junction36.com/clients/k..._hz_zoomer.html

Animation + guetURL
http://www.junction36.com/clients/k...mer_iframe.html

Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you think delaying the getURL until the image is in position would help?

Many thanks
Matt

Problem With Linking Pdf Files Using GetURL Command
I am producing cd-rom with .swf files as intro animation and main menu screens. I have to link 10 pdf files from main meanu screen. At first, I used
getURL("D:\doc\sample.pdf") code to link each individual pdf files.
However this code isn't perfect because some of the people who will use this cd-rom would have multiple drives at their computers and they won't recognize the cd-rom drive as "D-drive." I am trying to find way to link pdf file using relative path rather than absolute path. I tried to use getURL("doc/sample.pdf") code but I got the "file not found" message.
Can somebody help me with this problem?

Also, instead of opening the pdf file on Acrobat reader, Explorer browser is trying to open the pdf files, but it only causes major slowdown on my PC. I was able to fix this problem when I fixed the preferenace of new Acrobat 6.0 so the document won't open with browser. But since my cd-rom would be distributed to thousands of people, it's impossible to fix evryone's Acrobat preference. Is there any command so pdf file will only open on Acrobat Reader?

Loading An Iframe Into A Target With Javascript:geturl Command
HELLO!
I have a flash navigation bar, that loads an iframe html page into a target.

It works fine in every browser but explorer, and I realized that for some reason explorer requires me to use the scrollbars=no command on the flash buttons.

This also means I have to use the javascript:getUrl command, as opposed to the simpler getUrl command.

So I was wondering if anyone could just help me to write the line that would load a page into an iframe target (lets just call it "default.htm") and have the scrollbars=no thing.

I know I also have to have some javascript at the head of the html page, I just don't know how to write it.

THANKS!!!!

Flash Menu Inside Dreamweaver Template Using GETURL Command....
Nice easy question for you.

I'm using a flash menu inside a Dreamweaver template to navigate the html pages in the site.
Now I'm using GETULR and this works fine to open the link BUT opens it in a new window.... how do I tell flash to keep the template on the page and simply load the linked html into the template (I'm not using frames)?

Also while we're at it a silly question - were this simply an html page I could link simply to "page.html" in the site - with flash I seem to have to link to the actual URL eg www.mysite.com/pages/page.html is there a way around this? e.g. place the flash movie in the root of the folder for the webpage and then simply link to /pages/page.html....?

I'd really appreciate your help on this guys I'm a little screwed for time here!

End If

and flash MX keeps kicking me out saying this ";" is required left and right, i have tried to make the script correct with MX, but once i get it to stop complaining it does nothing.

movie4 = movie var.
"stoped" = key name inside that movie

I've got no idea how I screwed it up.

The "omit trace actions" is not checked.
I deleted the pref files like like someone said on a previous post.
Even a simple trace(hello) in a otherwise entirely blank document wont work.

What the heck is my problem? Thanks.

_root. Command Not Working?
Hello all,

I have a movie clip that plays when you press a button. The movie clip then pauses half way through to reveal 3 buttons. I have given these buttons actions to _root another movie when rolled over.

But i am having trouble getting it to work, is ther something i am doing wrong? IE is _root not working because it is in a movie clip?

Heres the script i have put on the button;

on (rollOver) {
_root.instancename.back = false;
_root.instancename.play();
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.instancename.back = true;
}


Then on the movie clip;

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (back) {
prevFrame();
}
}

I have also named the movieclip in the instance area.

Thanks for your help,

Tom

ps The script looks wrong because i have typed it in manually, but i know it is right because i have used in the main section of the site.

NetStream Command Not Working
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

theVideo.attachVideo(ns);

ns.play("flatch/sagemaven_instruct.flv");


Now, I know that my linkage is correct and my file structuring is correct. but it will not work. Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Can anyone let me know the correct command to get the this.onRelease part of this advanced button code to take me to scene 7

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};
this.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("scene7");

};
