Flash :: Flash To Open Html Frames

Can't Open New Window... Using HTML Frames
hi,

i can't seem to get flash to open a new browser window, and it has something to do with the fact that my HTML-based intro page (specifying site requirements, plug-in checks, etc.) uses a frameset.

the intro page consists of three frames -- top, middle and bottom -- with the middle frame containing an ENTER button. i want my Flash site to load in the SAME window as my intro page, but outside the frameset, so i set the target for my ENTER button (which resides in the middle frame) as "_top".

_self doesn't work, it loads the site into the central frame. target = "_parent" also successfully loads the flash site in the same window as my intro page and seemingly outside the frameset.

HOWEVER, once the Flash site has loaded, i can't seem to launch new browser windows from it. in other words, even though i want the Flash site to load in the same window as the intro page, the Flash site should be able to launch new windows.

the links in my Flash site that should launch content in new browser windows are all static text field links. i selected the relevant link text, specified a URL in the properties panel and selected _blank from the properties panel drop down target menu. but the new URL always loads in the same window as the Flash site.

this only happens if i access the Flash site via the HTML frameset intro page. otherwise it works perfectly.

anyone know what the problem could be?

you can view an example here http://www.carlottamanaigo.com/index2.htm (note: site still under construction... broadband connection required... dial-up version not ready yet.) click on HIGH BANDWITH to enter. once inside, try BIO, and VIEW RESUME. the resume should load in a new window, but instead it loads in the same window.

thanks.

Geturl And .xml Target Won't Open In Html Frames
Hi- I wondered if I could get some help from the experts. I just started using Flash/Studio MX 2 weeks ago so this may be a stupid question...but

I can't get a .swf to open another .swf in html frames in anything but _self or _blank (new window). I found a technote at macromedia on the subject

http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...ts/get_url.htm

followed it to the letter, even created a new frameset to test in DW but alas...no such luck. I've had the same trouble using the Target= parameter with a component UI. What a drag. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Code For Buttons To Open Files In Html Frames?
My problem is simple I think, but I can't find the right solution:

I made a button in Flash. I imported that button (.swf) in a html file with 2 frames.
The button is in frame 'left'. When I click the button, I want the file that it is linked to (named: 'green.html'), to open in the frame named 'right'. But I don't know the right code to follow the 'green.html' code between the brackets. The code in the button I already have (but that opens the file in the same frame as the button) is:

on (release) {
getURL('green.html');
}

Flash & Html Frames?
Hey is it possible to have a flash movie in one html frame communicate with a flash movie in another html frame? Like is it possible to have a botton in html frame that when you hover over it, it loads a certain level in another movie that is in a different html frame. I dont want the entire html frame to get reloaded, i just want to load a new movie onto a different level of a movie that is already running (but do this from a different html frame).
I hope this makes sence. Anyways, if anyone has any clue about this maybe you could fill me in or show a quick code on how to do it...

thanks!

Flash And HTML Frames
Thought I´d post my ´problem´ here, since the solution should be simple ( I think ). What if I wanted to create a Flash File in Frame A, and link some buttons within this SWF to information that should be displayed in Frame B. What is the right GetUrl Command, since it does not seem to understand the lines I enter in the target section. (´_mainframe´, mainframe)

And while I´m at it, can you also make a link from a SWF button, to open a new browser window, with a spesific size ?

Please help me, it would help me a lot!

Hi there,

Ok say I have a flash animation in an (frame name=top) HTML frame, and in that flash animation there's a series of button that call for an html page.

The only problem is that I need that HTML page to load into an HTML frame that is different (frame name=bottom) than the frame that contains the FLash animation.

I tried typing a "target = bottom" in the instance properties, but it doesn't work!

FLASH & HTML Frames
Hi,

I've got a site that consists of a frameset of 4 frames. Within the top frame is the .swf file used for navigation purposes where buttons within the .swf target to the mainFrame within the frameset.

However for some reason the .swf will not 'load' properly. I am 99.9% certain that its not the flash file or a design issue as when the particular frame/page containg the .swf is loaded within the browser on its own (i.e. not as part of the frameset) it works no probs??

this only happens when using Internet Explorer on Windows XP? but when using Netscape, again no probs? my initial explanation is that its down to me having XP but i don't know.

the best way to describe whats happening is when the frameset loads the preloader in scene1 works fine but then on scene2 initialising it sounds like 'links' are being continuously 'clicked'?? im using named anchors in the .swf if someone knows whether that will effect whats happening?

for those who have XP, THE URL is http://www.rhyslee.fsnet.co.uk/80windows/

HELP ME , PLEASE!!!!!

Trying To Use Html Frames Into Flash
Ok,

I am just beginning to learn more about Flash MX and Actionscripting for work and I have a question regarding html frames.

I am working on a project that requires the use of frames. For example, have the buttons on one side and when you click a button the information appears on the other side of the document.

Can this be done in flash MX. If so how?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Flash W/ Html Frames
A bit to tricky for me. What I have is an html frame page that is broken up into 2 frames, the top and bottom. The top frame page is html and contains the flash, the bottom frame is cfm. and contains the coldfusion code that reacts to the flash action. What I want to happen is when the submit button, in flash on the top frame, is pushed it will reload the bottom frame with the changes that were passed to it from the flash submit button without reloading the flash page. The _blank, _self, _parent, _top controls don't quite get the job done right and I have to use frames because then it just reloads the entire page including the flash. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

HTML And Flash Frames
Hi every one I wanted to ask this little thingi

can you specify a frame name in an html hyper link to go to that frame in the swf file when clicked

Flash+HTML Frames
My friend would like her site to scale with the screen. I've made her intro 100% all around imbeded and it changes it's size with the window as you pull it diff sizes.

The problem I'm having is that the rest of her site is Frames. A top frame with a menu.swf in it, and the lower part with html bages each having embeded swf files in them as per content.

I would like to know, how can I make the swf scale to the Frame like it does when it's in it's own HTML based page/window.

http://www.cindymcclure.com is the intro that'll scale to window size, and the link at the bottom is the framed portion of the site that does not scale.

Any help or ideas are appriciated, I'm starting her new site now, and it's easy to change things at this point.

Thanks again,
Justin

Flash And Html Frames
i'm trying to learn flash mx (i previously used swish2), and my test project is remake of the same menu i made in swish. on my website (www.realrelevantradical.com) the menu is a separate frame from the content, so that the menu doesn't have to load every time you click on a link. i can't figure out how to do this in flash mx. when i "add a behavior" to a button, i can use the basic frame names like _self and _blank, but i can't put my own frame name in. any ideas?

Flash And HTML - Without Frames
I am trying to make a site where the navigation is in Flash, and when you click on the navigation links, the HTML page changes. The problem is, I tried it with Frames but it was too differentiating between browsers and screen resolutions. Is there another way I can do this without frames or a way of making frames more cross compatible?
Thanks a lot!

Flash + Html Frames
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if this is easy to do.
I have a flash interface that will sit in an html page, within a frame of an outer html page. I want each option in the interface to load a different html page into a second frame within the outer html page, but leave the flash page untouched. Is this done using the getUrl tag? if so how do you target just 1 frame and not the html/flash page.

Hope that made sense

Thanx for any help

Hello all, I want to create a site with two HTML frames. On the top frame I would like to have the nav system (drop down menu in flash).

Is this even possible?

HTML Frames And Flash ?
Well im having a huge problem...

See this is how my website will look like:

--------------------------------
|
| Flash .SWF
--------------------------------
|
|
| News and Information.
|
|
----------------------------------

The website consists of 2 frames, 1 for the SWF and 1 for the news... Why ? because i want the flash menu to stay up all the time while the news page loads, and ONLY the news page.

So basically, i want this to happen, when i press on a button in the SWF, the other frame (the one with news) loads, and the Flash frame stays normal... example: www.2advanced.net

I dont have a clue how to do that i tried everything with getURL and nothing worked, if anyone knows please help.

After all the hard work, its either these 2, 1) It loads in the entire frame, 2) it loads just in the Flash Frame...

Need Experts help !

Hi, i need some help! i'm just new in flash 2004, and i found a kirupa tutorial about flash & html frames. I followed it with no problems, but at the end of it, i got a problem:

Select the line that says getURL. We will start to fill in the information to make the button a real link. In the URL field, enter second.htm. Now, place your mouse cursor in the Window field. You will enter the name of the frame we are going to target....which is kirupa. Enter kirupa in the Window field. Your getURL Action window will look like the following image:

That's my problem coz i can't find the window above. I'm using flash mx2004. i did everything correct i think, but i got stuck on it . I don't know how or where get the window to field the url. If somebody know how to do it please help me! thanks a lot!

Flash And HTML Frames
Kirupa's tutorial on how to use Flash to target a certain frame in HTML doesn't work any more. The page opens up in a new window instead of in the targetted frame. This is the code that is used:
on (release) {
getURL("second.htm", "kirupa");
}
Is there anybody who knows the reason for this?

Flash & HTML Frames
Hello Kirupa and everyone,

I have downloaded the " Flash & HTMLFrames" tutorial and have tried and tried to resolve the issue of targeting a named frame from a flash button all day without any luck. The html page is loaded into a blank page continually unless I use the standard _blank or _parent window name which I don't want. It is now very annoying as it is such a simple thing to do. I have an upper and lower frame in the frameset, the lower is the flash navigation bar and the upper frame is where I would like the html page loaded into. I have searched all day for solutions and what I have written in flash seems correct and in the frameset.

Frameset from my site I'm designing looks like this:

<frameset rows="*,101" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame name="upper" src="photo.html" scrolling="NO" id="upper">
<frame name="lower" src="navbar.html" frameborder="yes" scrolling="NO" id="lower">
</frameset>

Flash buttons in a sliding menu:

on (release) {
getURL("a1.html", "upper");
}

I would really appreciate any help that anyone could give!
Thanks,

Niki
