{Flash 8} Targeting And IFrame From A Link Array?
Hello, anyone that might shine some light in the right direction would be my hero. First, I'm not a traditional programmer by any means, so if my code and/or method is completely irrational, just smack my wrist.

Ok, I have dynamic links that I'm pulling from an already published RSS feed (http://lacity.granicus.com/ViewPubli....php?view_id=2) using the xml in said document.

Now, the 'client' wants the video links from this document to link to an iframe above the flash interface. No problems targeting the iframe when the links are hardcoded into the flash piece, but they want complete control (yes, I know they're asking for a miracle). Here's my piece so far: (http://webdev.ita.ci.la.ca.us/Justin...id_player.html)

Here's the function and variable that pulls the links and titles: Code:

Code:
function getPageTitle(ind):String{

var this_text = "<a href='" + _level0.link_array[ind] + "'>" + _level0.title_array[ind] + "</a>";

return this_text;

This is what I tried (along with just single quotes and double quotes), but to no avail: Code:

Code:
function getPageTitle(ind):String{

var this_text = "<a href='" + _level0.link_array[ind] + "'" + ", "video_swap">" + _level0.title_array[ind] + "</a>";

return this_text;
Am I missing something really fundamental here, or what? Like I said, I know my method is completely out of the norm, but this is how I have it working at the moment. Is it even possible, or do I need to reformat what I'm doing?

I hope I made sense enough here. If I need to clarify, just let me know. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Iframe Inside Flash?
I am making a "profile" type thing for a site similar to MySpace, where the entire thing is in flash.

My problem here is that there is a separate page for comments on profiles. Instead of simply linking to that page from my flash, I was wondering if it was possible to load the page inside of flash, like an iframe?

Or, any way where it would grab the info from that page and display it in flash, somehow?

Thanks in advance.

IFrame Inside Flash
Hi all;

I want to put a small window inside my movie that contains information from another html file, information includes pictures, javascript and CSS. Just like <iFrame> tag in DHTML.

Is it posible to use <iFrame> tag inside my movie? Or is there something in flash that can work just like <iFrame> tag?

Any reponse will be appreciated.

Thanks

Inserting An Iframe Inside Of Flash 8, Possible?
Hello,

I'm creating a small Flash object. I have four URLs that I want to display and dynamically change through Flash, but I'm not sure how to display these pages. I tried creating a dynamic textbox that displays html. I set a variable and put an iframe there pointing to the url I want to show. Is there a way to show html pages with Flash that works properly? Using this method, it shows the text inside of the iframe tags, but it doesn't render the actual page.

A bit of background - I'm using four small php pages, so I can't make them static, and I don't have the source code for the php, so I can't work with it anywhere other than the URLs that I'm getting. The size of each piece is 125x125 or so.

Any tips would be appreciated, thanks :)

Help: GetURL - Flash Inside Iframe, Target Outside
hi there,
hoping someone can help out. I've embedded a swf into an iframe, which is on a php page. However, I have links in this swf that I want to be targeted outside of the iframe and on the php page.

I've tried various pieces of code such as:

getURL(linkSelected, "name of php page");
getURL(linkSelected, "_blank");

These don't seem to work and the link just opens in the iframe the flash is embedded into.

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Targeting Iframe With AS3
How do I do this so that it works properly?

I want to use navigation (buttons) built in flash to target the iframe that will be on the same page as the flash swf.
the user clicks the button ie. photos and the iframe is loaded with the html page that has been called. Then the next button is clicked and that iframe is loaded with different html content again or a movie or what ever.

There is a lot of junk code out there in web land. What is the correct way to do this without browser issues? ( yes I mean Internet Explorer) Do I need Java too?

Linking/targeting To An IFrame
-Using Flash MX 2004-

Hello! I am having trouble with a new site I am developing. The idea is to have a Flash area in one iFrame as well as another iFrame which will contain some html and graphics. I have set my Flash button links within ActionScript so that the script will load a new page in BOTH iFrames. For some reason, while viewing in the Safari Mac browser, the iFrames pop open in new windows. (this works fine in IE and Firefox on both Mac and PC) Any suggesions to get this to work in Safari??

Here's my code that's attached to my buttons in the Flash movie located in my first iFrame:
code:

on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("frame_1.html","sidestory");
//End Behavior
}

on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("flash_temp_01.html","flasharea");
//End Behavior
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

[MX] Problem Targeting Iframe In Firefox
Hello there!

I'm making a flash menu (like this: www.hatebreed.com) that's supposed to open in an iframe (i've called "main").
So far it works with no problem in IE, but in firefox it only opens in a new window or tab...!!

I use flash MX v6. I can see in the source for this page that it's made for flashplayer 7 and i can only publish for flashplayer 6! Im afraid i'm doomed because i don't have a newer version, but i thought i'd give it a shot by asking someone in here...

This is how the action looks in the .fla:

on (release) {
getURL("news.htm", main);
}

I've tried adding expressions to "main" also, but that has no effect...

Does anyone have a fast solution for this perhaps?
I'm pretty new to all of this, so i don't know much about fscommands, actionscripts 1, 2, 3 and all that.
Looking for hours online today has pretty much just made me really confused, and now desperate... I have a deadline for this on monday... unless i can make up a story and i need to figure out if i have to consider making a html based menu with no animations. ...And that would be quite a disaster!

So if someone needs a lil challenge along with their morning coffee... Please help! Thank you!

GetURL Not Targeting Iframe From Button
Thanks in advance.... i've done a lot of searching for an answer to this.

I'm loading a flash file into an iframe which contains a button "skip intro", and is set to load the next page into the same frame. The button code is the basic:
on (release) {
getURL("main.html", "main");
}

And I know the iframe code is correct, and i'm using both name="main" and id="main", and have tried not using both.

I need to serve to IE 6, and yet it works perfectly in Firefox. I've even tried "_self" in the target and IE won't take it, but, again Firefox does.

Anyone know what's up?

Thanks so much,

K.

Targeting An Iframe Nested Within A Framset
OK so I am having difficulties with this problem and I thought I would post it here and see if someone could help me out. So here it is.

I am trying to target an iframe (name "body_iframe_content") and that iframe is nested (well I think it is nested, it is just inside a table in another frame named "mainFrame") within another frame.

The menu where the flash buttons reside are in a different frame within the frameset on the frame named "topFrame". I think that is where my major problem is. So how do I target to another frame within the frameset and target the actual iframe and not the frame itself?

Does that make sense or did I just confuse everyone?

Flash Heir Menu Over An Iframe
One solution that I use when I want to have a flash menu on a page is:

Put an I frame that is 100% width and height into an HTML page.

In that same page, put your Flash thing in. Remember that form elements override z-index of all other objects in the browser.

put you page content into the iframe.

Here's an example of a heir-menu system over an iframe.

Click here

i could've made the iframe 100% width and height and set the parent html with zero margins... anyway.

There are some other tricks that make this work, but hey, thats not the point.

Flash Menu To Control IFRAME
(Follow-up on earlier (deleted) thread)

I want to scroll through pages in an IFRAME
in a HTML page with my Flash menu.

It works partly but it doesn't go back and forth
correctly. This is the code I have now:

Code:
myUrl = 1;
btn1.onPress = function() {
if (myUrl<4) {
getURL("page"+myUrl+".html", "home");
myUrl++;
input = myUrl;
}
};
btn2.onPress = function() {
if (myUrl>0 ) {
getURL("page"+myUrl+".html", "home");
myUrl--;
input = myUrl;
}
};
Does anyone know how to do this correctly?

Flash Navigation Menu Above HTML Iframe
Hi!

I am trying to integrate the flash movie inside HTML content. I want to create a movie for upper level navigation in my application (ready web application), so its menus will be opened above HTML content displayed below the navigation. The problem is clear here because flash movie is a different layer in the browser, the browser doesnâ€™t know to place objects from the lower layer above the upper layer, so I search for a creative solutions.

Until now I've success to create a transparent flash movie like in this example:
http://www.duoh.com/csstutorials/flazindex/

But if I try to add an iframe to the HTML content, it doesn't work; the HTML is displayed above or under the flash and flash is not transparent any more. Also I want the menu itself will not be transparent but just the rest of the area.

My general idea is to change the layers order while showing the menu, but when I need the flash layer to be transparent for iframes

Any idea will be appreciated.

ExternalInterface.call Inside Iframe Not Working In IE
Hi all,

The structure of my site is as follows:

mainPage.html contains - menu.swf & iframe1

iframe1 contains - subpage.html

subpage.html contains - subMenu.swf & contentpage.html

The way it works is that when menu.swf is clicked it changes the .src of iframe1 to load the appropriate subpage.html. Then when you click the subMenu.swf it changes the .src of iframe2 to load the appropriate contentpage.html

This is all probably better illustrated if you have a look at the site http://www.curvecreations.com/portfo...cv_navnew.html

It all works perfectly in Firefox but in IE the ExternalInterface call from the subMenu never reaches the container page to change the .src of the iframe.

It seems as though it's something to do with the .swf being inside the iframe because I am still able to call a javascript function from within the iframe using an html button.

If anyone can help in any way i would be very grateful as my head is beginning to hurt from banging it against my desk.

Talking From Iframe To Iframe?
I am doing a site with a top flash nav, and Iframe with some flash and html in it.

Is there a way to have the flash in the Iframe give actions to the flash nav??

you can see it here:http://www.dyaddesigns.com/roque_new_layout/

when you hit the porperties button, i want the nav to change to FOR SALE.

something like:

on (release) {
_level0.clip.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I hope this make sense

Hi
I am trying to solve a problem with Flash 5.
Part of the page is in flash and the other is in html
I want to click on a button in flash and control an "iframe"
(note that this IFRAME is on the html page. IFRAME is a layered javascript frame)

What I want is to be able to take any designated button created in flash and link it to this IFRAME and the particular page with in it.

ex:firt part of code I think would be

onMouseUp="dourt()" <----- This is the code in html it connected to

function dourt()
{
MM_swapImgRestore();
window.history.back();<------ Javascript

help asap please
thanks

Is IFrame In Flash Possible?
I'm doing a webpage and would like to include an Iframe in the flash page. This way, the whole page would be in flash, instead of cutting up the page into differents pieces.

The reason for this is because I plan on using Blogger as the page that will display the information because more than one people will be accessing the site and updating it. Also, using blogger to update the site is a lot easier than opening the file and updating it manually. It's also easier since they don't have to know HTML to update the page.

Any idea about how to do this?? Is it even possible? TIA!

IFrame Within Flash?
I have a SWF file, but I want it to display an HTML file... (with links, etc.)... how can i do that? would i have to make like, an iframe in flash or something?

also, can i make it just like a regular HTML document? like where you can right click, 'view source' or right click a link and click 'save target as', etc.?

Is that possible?

thanks

Flash Over IFrame?
Hey y'all

So what we have decided to do is to put our dynamic content inside an IFrame on a main page with a flash menu based navigation on the bottom. My problem now is that my Flash menu, when extended, goes over top of the IFrame and I can no longer access any parts of it that are overlapping.

In IE this is not a problem, but I want to avoid telling people "You have to use IE to view this page!"

Here is an example: http://www.whatadewitt.com/coolriot

Look at it in FF, and IE (note: the links won't work, neither will the pictures, but you can click the little up/down arrow at the top to see what my problem is)

Thanks a ton!

Edit: At the moment I only have the IFrame at a certain size, so depending on your resolution, you may have to change the size of your browser window to see the problem. To see the problem you need to make sure that some of the flash is covering some of the whitespace.
thanks again!
