Flash :: Can Flash Preload Slices Of Html Page?

Preload A Flash SWF On An HTML Page
Hey there.

Im trying to find a way, if possible to have an SFW preloaded on an HTML based site that Im working on. You can find the site here: http://60watts.org/fifty50/fifty50.html Once there, click on the landing page, it will take you to the Current shows. Youll notice the Flash nav to a sec to load. Now click on any other button, youll notice it has to reload each time into the new HTML page. There are four sections as you can tell, each requiring 4 differnt SWF files for the navigation. Can anyone tell me if theres a way to have those Navigations preloaded so they dont have to "blink" each time.

Thanks for your time.

Preload SWF On Seperate HTML Page?
Good morning all,

We're workin' on a project over here where we load a relatively large (140kb) flash animation to use as a kind of landing page in the shell file before the user clicks any buttons. Think of it as an intro that fades out as soon as the user clicks any of the other nav on screen.

The issue at hand is that we want this to load relatively fast on dialup. One of the quirks about the site is that the client wants a static HTML driven news page on the site, and from there you can click the "Enter Button" to go to the Flash page...

*whew* So let me see if I can explain this another way:

User comes to static news page. Reads news. Clicks "Enter" to go to Flash page.

Flash page loads, "intro" animation plays in a loop until other nav is pushed. "Intro" fades out, the rest of the site runs through Flash.

So the issue at hand:

I want to preload this intro.swf quietly in the background of that first news page, perhaps as a 1 pixel x 1 pixel SWF in a div tag off screen. If I do this, will the browser cached the intro SWF so when the user finally jumps to the flash page it'll load quickly?

This is a simple question that just seems oh so complicated to explain, but thanks for your help.

Image Ready Slices And Flash
Hi!

I'm in the process of creating a website that uses a few Flash .swf files. I'm trying to substitute one of the Image Ready slices in my Dreamweaver file with an .swf file that uses the same background image, (Ive added a short animation to it) however, I'm having a problem with size and alignment of .swf slice. The size of the image ready slice and .swf are the same exact size, but when tested in the browser, the size of the swf slice is slightly smaller. Any suggestions as to how I can fixt this size and alignment issue?

Thanks.

[Simple Question] Using Flash And Slices...
Hi. I would like to create a glow/shadow on the outside of a Flash website that I am making. I know that this has to do with slicing, but HOW? What do I do to insert/embed the Flash SWF "into" the slice (so that it is surrounded)?

Thanks!

Preload Page For An All Flash Site.
Just about finished with my all flash site for my production company, but I've got a little problem.

The index site has a preloader MovieClip, that monitors the bytes loaded of the "mainPage.swf", which is loaded into a container MovieClip on the stage of index.swf.

Everything works fine, except, once "mainPage.swf" loads, none of the buttons execute. Sounds are ok, over and hit states are fine, but none of the actionscript commands work.

You can see the site at http://www.simplecoat.tv

http://www.simplecoat.tv/mainPage.html is "MainPage.swf" hosted directly in it's own HTML page, not loaded into a MovieClip in "index.swf". Allow 15 seconds for the load.

Any ideas on how I could fix this, or a different way to have this animated preloader without having to load the main page SWF into another SWF?

Preload Rest Of Page Before Flash
I dont' know why i'm having such difficulty finding info on this. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a pretty simple html webpage with one .swf on it. when you click on the link to go to this webpage, it sits there for about 20 seconds before loading the page. How can i get the page to load immediately and load the swf file after the rest of the page is loaded and displayed?

Preload To Main Page Php...from Flash

ActionScript Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.getURL("www.blablabla.com/main.php", "_self");
}

any help would be great...

Is It Possible To Preload A Flash Site While On A Different Page?
I have been asked to do the following but I am sure this is not possible, but maybe I am behind?

I have a index.html page that contains an enter logo(enterlogo.jpg). If you click on the logo, it will open up the Flash site in the same browser window. What I would like to know is, is there any possible way to preload the flash site thats on a different page (flashpage.html) that the user is in, or embed the swf file on the same indext.html page where the enter logo is. When the user clicks the enter logo, it will show the flash site that is embedded in the same index.html page? I was thinking if this could be possible with layers or some form of visibility javascript coding hiding the flash site until the enter logo is clicked?

therefore the server will only contain the following:
index.html
enterlogo.jpg
flashsite.swf

instead of:
index.html
enterlogo.jpg
flashpage.html
flashsite.swf

Scripting In Flash: How To Preload A Page From Outside?
Hi

I have found one page, where some guys are cheating in some internet contest using Flash coding.

Cheatcode is simple: to preload a voting page, somethink like this:

http://www.beauty-contest.biz/vote.php?me_pretty=999

and he preloades it somehow from another domain, let's say:

http://www.ugly-guy.ru

Then I started digging in this and I found it not so easy to be done within Flash - mainly due to restriction, that flash can preload content only from its own host...

Do you have any idea how has that ugly guy done it???

Naming Of HTML Entry Page & Flash Intro 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 on both Mac & PC platforms? Detailed answers will be much appreciated, as well as links to tutorials.

Anyway To Have A Small Html Page Embedded Into A Larger Flash Page?
I've developed a website completely in Flash. Now, I have a space in this Flash page where I would like to have, upon a certain button click, load up an HTML page...within the Flash page itself. So, I have the layout, and all the links and all that in the Flash website. In the content area of that Flash site, I want an html page to appear after clicking a certain button, thus turning the Flash into somewhat of a border. Is there any simple way to do this?

Thanks a lot!

Ugly Transition From Flash Page To Html Page
Hi-

I made a flash movie with soundtrack as an intro for my client. At the end of the movie I put a frame action to get URL and automatically jump to the main page of the site. The background color for the site is black, but in between the intro flash page and the main nav page, white flashes for a split second. You can see the work in progress at www.musicbymelinda.com/melindasite/.

She loves the movie, hates the jarring white flash. I tried lengthening the movie, it didn't help ... she does not want to make her viewers click on a button to enter site.

Any suggestions how to make a smooth transition? thanks. -knox

Preload HTML W/ Flash?
I have a client who wants a large bit of photoshop/graphical elements in the site. Enough to make load time fairly long. However, the client wants HTML only, and no Flash. They are not against using a preloader, that way when the site opens, the bulk of the files are loaded.
Could a Flash preloader be put at the start to preload the graphics to be used in the following HTML pages?

Thanks for all input.

Getting Flash To Load HTML Pages Into Iframes In A Seperate HTML Page
Hi everybody

Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm currently running an animation within a webpage, and my client would like to be able to have some captions in HTML on the page that go with specific parts of the animation.

He wants the captions done in seperate HTML pages so that they can be changed into different languages at a later date.

I am loading these captions (HTML pages) into <iframes> on the page.

So far so good..... however...

I need to be able to get flash to load the HTML pages into the <iframes>, in certain points within the animation.

So... Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm guessing getURL is used somewhere, but I don't know the exact code.

Hope you can help!

Passing HTML Form And Hidden Variables From Flash To Html Page
Hi,

I have a html/flash site now, http://www.zachariack.com.

i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire
<form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window.

now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

<form name="form1" action="http://www.accudatanet.com/mail/msglist.php" method=post>
<input type="hidden" name=sid value="E9697301F704A0CE947DEF42CF86636A">
<input type=text size=15 name=f_user value="">
<input type=hidden name=six value=0>
<input type=password size=15 name="f_pass">
<input type=submit name=submit value="Login >>" class="button">
</form>

how do i implement the above using action scripting. thanks.

regards,
vasant

Put SWF Into HTML Page But How To Also Add Flash Mp3 Player Into Same Page?
For my web-site, each seperate HTML page in dreamweaver mx2004 has a different flash SWF attached to it, but all these flash SWF scenes all have the same background in them for consistency.

The problem is my showreel page, I created a flash SWF ready for dreamweaver, but I also want to incorporate a flash mp3 player I have into the same HTML page!

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Turn Flash Page Into An Html Page?
Hi all,

So here's my dilemma. Got this job to put together a site for a financial company with a friend of mine. We're both more into illustration more than anything else and have basic/ intermediate knowledge of flash but know very little about html..

Here is the dummy - http://uzugexe.com/tiel.html

This company really wants some flash design and were very specific with what kind of animations they want on the page. Thing is though, they're now saying that ranking in a search engine is essential. So we've tried to persuade them to ditch the flash idea completely and have an html only site...but because they really loved what we'd come up with (i personally think it's too much!) they asked if we could try and combine the two....

Any ideas on how we could use the animation as it is as a kind of intro but then have it turn into an html page automatically - without seeing too much difference when it changes? Is it possible to have the html 'under' the flash movie, then have the flash movie fade away and 'unload' to reveal the html page?

Hope this makes some kind of sense!

Any suggestions much appreciated

HTML Code In Flash To Load An HTML Page In A Frame
Hello.

I have an existing website built in html, with three frames. One on the top for the banner, one on the left for navigation, and a larger window to the right of the navigation for the main content. I want to replace the content in my navgation frame with a flash built navgation menu, and when my menu items are selected, it will load a new page in the content frame.

I currently have this working fine in html. I can make my buttons link to a URL no problem in flash, but how do I tell it to load the content into the other frame? I haven't started this process yet, and figured I'd ask first to get any ideas.

Thanks.

Fireworks Slices?
This may be a silly question. I created my very first page in Photoshop and Fireworks 3; it has a nice rollover effect on the buttons. In order to create the rollover I had to use slices. Okay, now do I have to reassemble the slices into Dreamweaver 3 in order to publish the page (rollover intact?) How do I do this? I sincerely appreciate any help on this subject. Thank you.

Drawing Pie Slices
Does anyone know any way i can create dynamic pie shapes for a pie chart?

it could have 2 or more slices, and be variable sizes.

then i thought of using the AS3 api to draw a triangle the size of a slice, but that wouldn't work either for slices that are >=25% (obtuse) (because the hypotenuse won't clear the round shape of the pie)

i know it has been done before... any suggestions?

A Load Html Page Button On A Two Frame Html Page

Animating Banner Slices
Imagine I created a banner in photoshop & sliced it.
Now I want to take just one slice, import it to flash, put some animation on it and then export to flash movieclip and put that back exactly where the slice was in the banner.

I can't make it work. The replaced slice doesn't fit 100%.

And I see already some problems when placing the imported slice to the stage (both with the exact same size). Some edges of the image keep overlapping the stage with just 1px (i guess).

What kind of solutions do you use when animating just one slice of the banner?

Dynamic Menu From Xml That Slices Into Sets Determined By Variable
Hello!

I want to build a menu that dynamically loads btn images from an xml document. The number of btns that appear in the menu mc will also be determined by a variable set as an attribute in the xml document. I know I need to slice the "for loop" and that I need to create arrays that result from these sliced sets. Can anyone help me generally contruct the for loop statement? I'm scattered!

Any suggestions would be tremendously appreciated!

Will Swf Loaded Into One Html Page Be Cached For Another Html Page
Trying to decide how best to structure a flash website and would like to know if loaded swf elements are cached.

Basically I was going to structure the site into 5 separate sections each a separate flash file on a separate html page.

i.e

Homepage.html (this holds homepage.swf)
Services.html (this holds services.swf)
Portfolio.html (this holds portfolio.swf)
ComingSoon.html (this holds comingsoon.swf)
Contact.html (this holds contact.swf)

Each of these main flash files will share certain elements such as the navigation buttons, the main interface etc.

My question is, once a shared swf element has been loaded into homepage.html, is this shared element then in the browsers cache and does not require to be downloaded again when the user navigates to say services.html?

The main reason I am structuring it this way is to allow bookmarking of each of the main sections and also to keep the initial download file size down rather than have to download all 5 sections as one movie.

Thanks

Flash Nav In HTML Page
hey gang...

this should be an easy one:

does anyone have an example of a flash navigation that works with an HTML site, that defaults to the current page the user is on.

basically a 1 level breadcrumb trail that always shows the user what page they are on -- if they roll over the other nav elements, the nav would allow them to, but then return to the current state.

so far, ive gotten the nav to read in the variable from the URL (query string), but i cant seem to get it to reset once the user have moused over a few times...

i was trying clip event...no dice.... any suggestions?

Flash Nav On HTML Page
I've created a menu in Flash containing 5 buttons that is being placed on a page containing html content. The off state of each button is red, and the over state is yellow. I'd like the over state, yellow, to stay on when the user is on a particular page. I know I could do this by creating separate menus for each page, but would rather use actionscript instead. Anybody have any ideas of how to make this happen?

thanks

HTML Page In Flash UI
Greetings,

I have a long scrolly HTML page that contains text that wraps around photos that are in tables/cells. I also have a Flash file that has an interface and an empty are where I would like to see the forementioned page to appear and be able to scroll down the page. Is this doable or is there a better way?

What I want to avoid is having to rebuild the long scrolly page in Flash, don't really have the budget for it. My failsafe is to put a button in the Flash file and make it open the HTML page by itself insted of appear within the SWF.
