Buttons Within Swf To Link To New Html Pages
i have a swf file that's going to be placed inside of a html page. what i'm having trouble doing is making my button instanses link to different pages withing the same html website and in the same browser.

i've tried this:

"INSTANCE NAME".onRelease = function () {
getURL("http://www.WEBSITE.com", "_blank");
};

But it doesn't work at all. the images that i made into button instances still read as buttons when i preview in flashplayer (the cursor turns into the pointing finger), but there's no action.

can anyone help? i know nothing about action scriping or anything complex, just the basics.

thanx!

Can anyone help me make the button release take the user to the specified page ?

Buttons In Flash Movie Used To Link Dreamweaver Pages
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I must say, this is a brilliant website. I've picked up things I never knew before in Flash.

But there's one thing I need a lot of help with. I don't know if this question has been asked before, I've searched the previous threads but I couldn't find anything relevant to my problem.

I've made a Flash movie. This movie has four buttons named home, portfolio... etc. Pretty standard button names.

Now I've made four pages in Dreamweaver. They're titled home.html, portfolio.html.... respectively.

Now I've put the Flash movie into all four pages. What I want/need to know is how do I link those four buttons in my Flash movie to their respective html pages?

An example of what I'm trying to do can be seen here: http://www.utoronto.ca/csa/ufa/home.html

See how each Flash button in that whole Flash movie links to a different .html page?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How Do You Setup Text Buttons To Open Pages Within The Same Page - Link Inside
Everytime you click on a link on the mainpage it opens a page smoothly on the same page (I'm trying to stay away from opening a ton of pages to display the info, I like the fact that all the info is displayed on the same page at the click of a button). It's like everytime you click on a link, it overrides the last page that was displayed and shows the new page. Here is the link http://www.fantasyinterfaces.com[/url]

Thanks in advance (I'm using Flash 5)

Nav: Best Way To Link Pages
I read multiple ways to setup navigation on a flash site such as scenes and
actionscript. What is the best way to do this? I am working on my first site
and am almost done with the hompage. If you can point me to some sort of
tutorial, that would be great. Thanks

How Can I Link The Pages Together?
ok, I'm VERY new to flash and so please forgive me for my stupid-ness.

I have to make a presentation for my I.T. project and would like to do it in flash, and what I want on the page is a navigation bar on the side, then when I click on the button, the content on the right changes. And if possible, a little box appear when the mouse pointer is on top of something, explaining what that object is about.

Please keep things simple as I'm a complete n00b and have NO knowledge of flash

thank you very muchie

Making Flash Link To Various HTML Pages
I'd like to make my Flash file link to a series of HTML pages in a presentation-type thing. However, I can't just use the getURL action because I want to just use one .swf file rather than a separate file with unique URLs for each page. Is there a way to tell Flash to link to the "next" and "previous" pages in a series of pages? Here's the Flash navigation file:

Unable To Link Flash To Asp Pages From Other Domains
Hi there,
I have this interesting problem here. I am trying to load my flash file and ASP file on 2 different domains. (sub-domain to be exact). But the link (geturl) does not seems to work at all...
Ok, here is the scenario:
I have 2 servers.
1) www.abc.com (Web server for hosting my web files + SWF files)
2) app.abc.com (App server for hosting scripts files + ASP files)
In my SWF file, i have codes like
Code:
geturl("http://app.abc.com/abc.asp", "_self")
In my App Server, I have the default.asp page which loads the Flash file located in the Web Server.

Code:
<OBJECT codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0
height=xxx width=xxx classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000>
<PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="http://www.abc.com/flash.swf">
<PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
<embed src="http://www.abc.com/flash.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="xxx" height="xxx">
</embed>
</OBJECT>
So when I tested accessing my flash file directly from the web server (http://www.abc.com/flash.swf), I am able to click on the button to go to http://app.abc.com/abc.asp.
But when I access the flash file from the ASP file by going to (http://app.abc.com/default.asp), i am able to see the flash.swf being loaded. But clicking on the button does nothing.
I then came across the crossdomain.xml thingy.
Added this file to my app.abc.com root directory.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/c...ain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
But still to no avail...

But the most wierd thing is.... about 1% of the client IE can work! (actually only 2 PCs. out of all the other PCs that we tested with...)
Anyone have any clue on what could be the problem?

How Link RSS Feeds To Pages In An All-Flash Site?
I have built a site entirely of Flash. The header and drop down menus are in the index.html/.swf "shell" and everything else is loaded in as .swfs in the area below.

I'm just getting my feet wet in RSS Feeds and can get them to work in my traditional, html-based sites. But I am having trouble envisioning how they would work in my all-Flash site.

If I change a .swf page and want subscribers to check out this update, how do I link so that both the new version of the page *and* the index.html/.swf "shell" both appear? (Workarounds totally bypassing direct solution would be OK, if necessary!)

I tried googling the 'net for a tutorial but kept getting hits on how to make RSS *readers* in Flash.

If you know of a tutorial or a page of tips and tricks, that would be great!

Thanks.

Link Problem Flash Button - Html Pages
FlashMX Links Problem...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--Well, well, I waited now for a few weeks and no life here at all it seems! My question is simple, I have buttons (alphabet, 26 in fact) that I find no way to link to html pages using any way that I do with any other form to link to pages from the flash piece - doesn't bring any result and I just don't find out. Is there really no one who can give any hint? Down below is the piece even uploaded to view - it's the alphabet that I cannot link to html pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi There you good helpful people out there! I do have some nice piece of flash for website navigation, there are two problems: While there is no problem to link pages to the main buttons, there are others I just cannot figure out what to do to link. Additionally there is a problem with one button beyond description, I mean error that I cannot figure out. I attach the piece - not complete, but that is fine - only mind the link "Musik & Show" by mouse over you would see the problem. All letters of the "Beta Suche" I just cannot figure out, how to link the pages to each letter... I don't know whether I can attach the orig. file since it does have nearly 2MB size... Please let me know here what could be done and thank you indeed! I owe you one. Best wishes - harton! zaungast@tele2.at in case you require to ask back. Thanks and nice weekend you all

The upload is a bit helpless I suppose since limited to 300kb, how do you manage to have any flashfile that small. Anyone of you please help and I would mail you the original file - also cannot upload the finished piece even though only 100kb... Harton

swf is even a invalid file? How is that, that is flash, now I really don't understand anymore - that is the output file of FlashMX... Any hint anyone?

Okay, this doesnt work here... I uploaded it all at

Simple Question: I Need To Know The Scripting For Flash To Link Html Pages
I am trying to build a site where the Flash files exist in an html site. Therefore, I need to figure out the scripting for the buttons in order to get them to jump from page to page. I've tried a lot of simple things, and none of them have really worked. What should I do?

Linking Buttons To Web Pages
Hello all...

I am trying to make a small web page using Flash 5. Since the .fla file size was getting a bit too big I tried to break it into 5 different files, one for each of the pages of that site (don´t know if that was the best way to go around the problem but...)

So know what happens is this: I have to link all the different pages I have, through some navigation buttons I´ve put in. What I thought I would have to do was something like... GET URL and then point out the location of the HTML file (created when you publish the .fla files) but somehow that doesn´t work when I test it on my computer. I always get some error message, like the location does not exist, or something... (maybe that is not the way this is done or maybe it is just me doing it wrong)

anyway... I was hoping someone would tell me if what I´m trying to do can be done (I think so but...) and what is the best way to so.

I hope that was clear enough...
and thank you!

Buttons Within Pages Not Working
hello, im working on this site and my buttons along the sidebar work, they all look like this

Code:
order.onPress = function() {
content.gotoAndStop("order")
}

my buttons IN the content pages, however, do not work. they have the same code as the above, and should function to change the "content" frame as well. ALL the codes, however, are on the same actionscript sheet, which is for the "script" layer above my "content" layer. can anybody help me?

i've tried moving the codes for the buttons In the content page to an actionscript sheet on the button itself, or on the "content" frame that the button is on, but that still doesn't work. help?

hello, i followed a tutorial online here and i did so very closely, making sure to double check everything in the end, but i ended up with a site whose buttons do not work and the pages, instead of behaving like pages, play one after another like a movie clip.

}

Adding Rollover Buttons To Web Pages
what is the syntax for adding a rollover button as an image button in an .aspx page? I have saved the button as a .swf file and put it as the ImageUrl, but since it isn't an image, do I need to save it as an image in flash rather than a button?

Can Dynamic Text Have An Embedded Link? Or HTTP Link?
I'm using the Flash scroll bar componet, which uses dynamic text, and I want to link part of my dynamic text to a specific frame in my moive. - Is it possible?
- I've tried and it doesn't allow the 'Go TO' funcion.

so,

I created another HTML page and SWF to display the specific SWF screen that I want to show up - now I'm trying to link my dynamic text to '_self' so that when the link is clicked it will look like it is in the same site.

When I use the dynamic text and create the link, it appears to be ok/workable in the Properites panel, but when published, it doesn't work.

Newbie Help..linking Buttons To Html Pages
Hi
im new to flash but its a nice program as it is very powerful as ive noticed so far, but it really aint made for the simple user in mind, but anyways, im making a online portfolio to show my art works and for the navigation menu i have made it 4 buttons which are grouped in a movie which keeps scrolling across the screen giving looping effect, well intially i wanted it to stop when mouse rolls over it but gave up on that as there is nothing i could find on the net to help me, they only got the menu where its scrolling speed is controlled by your mouse.

Top-nav: Keeping Buttons Highlighted When Changing Pages
Hi,

I've created a TopNav file that will serve as the primary navigation for a site. The thing is, if I send the on-release of a button to a "contact.html" page, when that page reloads it'd be great if the contact button was still highlighted or in it's "over" state after the cached flash navigation file reloads.

What do you think? Is there a step-by-step way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best,
