Flash :: How To Remote Mc Between Frame (HTML)?

Loading Remote Variables On First Frame
Heya

it's a survey, and it loads the question & answer choices from a perl script, into 2 text boxes (easy) and into 3 or more answer radio buttons (harder). i can load values into the radio button by clicking on a regular button, but i really need to load them into the radio buttons when the movie starts, with an onclipevent maybe. (tried that already)

the radio buttons are a MC. this is the script on the button that i click to load the variables into the radio buttons - this works fine:
----------
_root.answer_group.answer1.setLabel(a1);
----------

can i do the same thing automatically when the movie starts?

Remote Php To Parse Csv, Return Html?
Here's the problem:

Our main server doesn't run php, but a secondary server does. (long story, just follow along for now, don't ask why). I'm building a flash file that needs to go through a CSV file, (comma separated values, output from Excel) and php seems to be the ticket there. Is there a way to tell flash to call a php page that'll go through the csv file and return the values to the flash file?

Please?

HTML Content From Remote Page
Is it possible for flash to draw HTML content from a remote web page? For instance, I want to be able to change the content in a part of the flash movie without going into flash and re-rendering it. The content would be in some sort of HTML or PHP page.

Changing Flash Scene From Html Remote
Are there any html scripts out there that can manipulate a movie in the same page by telling it to change the scene once an <a href> is clicked? this might have to be a combination of javascript, but i wanted to post it in this forum first to see if anyone knew anything. thanks in advance!

Loading Html To String Directly From Remote Site
For example, I need load html page directly from "http://www.yahoo.com" to string variable in flash and then parse it.

my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
  if (success) {
    trace( unescape(this.toString()) );
  } else {

URGENT HELP - SWF In Html Doesnt Connect To Remote Server
Hi,

I have an swf placed on a website which needs to connect to a remote server but it doesn't work. I'm using SWFObject to embed the swf file and i can see it no problems and the buttons are definitely active but it never connects to the server that's it's pointing to. I've tested with different servers and it's the same for all of them even one with absolutely no firewall or virus protection.

It seems something is blocking the files as the correct requests are being made (i checked with trace statements)....I think it's the flash.....is there something i'm doing wrong in the publishing of the swf file?

thanks for any suggestions!

Remote Targeting A HTML Table Cell From A Separate SWF Button
Hi,
I have multiple SWFs loaded into a tabled HTML Page.

One of the SWFs is a Nav Menu.

I am trying to remotely target a particular table cell in the middle of the page to load an SWF on this page when the Flash Nav Menu Button SWF is clicked.

I have named the table cell "main".
When the SWF Menu Button is clicked I want to load a Flash SWF into the selected table cell named "main" on the same HTML page.
I am working in Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3.

One thought was to create a blank shell or starting SWF to go into the "main" named table cell. Then some how through actionscript call to that SWF to load the external SWF into it.
Another idea is to create the SWF for that tabled cell with all the individual areas built into it so when the user clicks the menu buttons then it just goes to those areas.

The main issue is being able to control or call the separate or external SWF from the Nav Menu SWF to load or change to another frame on the timeline remotely.

Any suggestions on how this can be achieved?
Thank you for your help it is appreciated.

Remote Flash Files Much Larger Than Remote
Hi,

I am developing a Flash 8 Pro site
on a Mac OSX Tiger

For some reason, my published Flash movie files
are much larger than I thought

When I look at the files on my hard drive,
it's telling me that my homepage HTML is around 4kb
and my SWF is around 300kb

When I upload these to my ISP and examine these
same files (using Dreamweaver's Site Managing Feature)
these files clock in at
972 kb for the HTML
176402 kb for SWF

There are a lot of Flash Buttons on the homepage
that in turn use the loadMovie function

Why do the local and remote file sizes differ so much?

thanks

Remote Actionscript Issues - Local Vs Remote
i made web banners with the intent that the shell being the initial swf, could pull an external swf file from a remote site.

view here:

http://www.anthonythomas.com/duplicolorespn/

the main .swf file has to be under 30k, which it is. now the other .swf files load when you rollover the buttons. this method fulfills the 30k requirement on the advertisers side - also allows the creative to have higher res images/swf files hosted on our site/side.

in testing it locally, it all works great...

but when i moved the .swf file to

http://www.justinhale.com/test/

to test it -

the files hang up when you mouse over the buttons - is there a chance you could check out my source?

here:

http://www.justinhale.com/duplicolorbanner.fla

i'd really appreciate any help this forum could offer.

i checked out the security settings. security.allowDomain,
not sure if i'm using it correctly?

thank you,

How Do I Connect Flash Menu (top Frame) To HTML Pages (bottom Frame)?
Hi,

I am new to flash/swish...

How do I connect the Flash menu system that I set up in Swish that will be embedded in the TOP frame to the standard HTML pages to be selected in the BOTTOM frame?

FYI: I am using Frontpage 2000 to create the frames and standard HTML pages

I can create the HTML page containing the Swish/Flash menu- no problem there. I just don't see the connection between the two. WHat's glueing them together. Is this accomplished with hyperlinks within FrontPage OR is this done from the Swish side and then seen by FrontPage after it is embedded?

Thanks to all who reply.

All the best.

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.

Printing A Certain Frame With Html
I am having a problem with using flash animation within a html document. The probelm is that when you print the html page, the flash prints out the first frame of the animation. Since my animation starts out as blank there is nothing there to print. Is there a way to have flash print the last frame of the animation as well as print out the rest of the html page as well? I know you can print the flash movie itself on certain frames, but that would ruin the whole page layout. Also, most people go to the file menu to print not within flash.

Here is the example I am talking about:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Change A HTML Frame
Hi all,

Lets assume you have a Frameset (html) and in Frame 1 there's the swf embedded and in Frame 2 theres a simple blank html page.

Is there any way to change the 2nd frame where the blank html page resides via Flash (I.e. call another html page into that 2nd frame)?

I basically want to load some sort of banner ad into that second frame as soon as the flash movie has finished loading.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Jumpto Certain Frame From HTML
I am creating a custom map of our university. I would like to place a link throughout our website that says "locate building on map" - when the user clicks the link, the pop-up window opens my flash movie of the university and goes to the frame that animates/highlights the building in question.

How can I do this??

Html Frame In Flash
Hey all,

Basically I'm trying to do something much further beyond the knowledge I have now. (best way to learn right?) Anyways, I was wondering if you can set up something in flash where a MC would act like a frame on an html page that could load in other html content. I tried using the getURL command on an MC but it just loaded the url in the browser which I was figuring it would do. Any ideas? Let me know.

Jumping To A Specified Frame From Html
hey all,

Im trying to do the following!!!

From a link in html,
i need to send some sort of information (guessuing through javascript)
to my flash file, telling it to load the movie, and goto the frame which is syncronised by each link!

eg.

im on a retail page called "cigars r us"
I click the button called "map"

it then needs to open up my flash file, let it pre-load, then jump to scene 3 frame 33, because its the 33rd store for example!

i dont want it to show any other frame but this one!

is this possible?
how could i do it?
can some one help me write a script!

Thanks very much!

Ive not no idea where to start, remenbering there is a preloader (scene-1)

there is a list of linked store names
(scene-2)

about 50 frames, each frame being an individual highlighted store.
<scene-3)

can anyone help??

Call Frame In MC From Html
I have a site that is a mixture of html and Flash.

There are seven menu selections. Each page has its own Flash heading that contains the menu choices.

The home page holds the main MC. The main MC contains clips that correlate to three of the menu selections with the other four menu selections all html pages.

Let's say someone is on html page "B" that has a Flash menu. They select one of the menu options that corresponds to a clip in the main MC located on the home page. I cannot figure out how to load the home page and goto a certain frame in the main MC that contains the clip associated with the menu selection made on page "B".

This is probably really confusing and no one will understand what I'm trying to do or maybe it simply can’t be done.

Any comments will be appreciated.

HTML Frame-like Option?

Controlling Frame Changes From HTML?
Here's the question plain and simple...Can you open a flash movie from an Html page AND have that same HTML link tell the Flash movie to start on a certain frame?

----------------------------------------------
Now some more details about my situation (just in case they're needed):

Project (6-Unit Tutorial):
1)HTML Intro page with text links for each unit.
2)SWF Tutorial containing all 6 units...the tutorial itself is one big SWF file.

What I want is that when you click, for example, "Click here for Unit 3" on the HTML intro page, the flash movie loads up right at Unit 3.
----------------------------------------------

Is this possible? Please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
