HtmlText And Hyperlinks
Hey guys, maybe some of you can help with a question i have.
im loading information from a database, and displaying it in an htmlText text field...that in itself is fine, the thing is the hyperlinks which will bring up the more detailed information of the event opens up in a new window.
Ideally i want to call a function that tells a movie clip to play and load the required details, (and im sure i have seen some solution to this somewhere but cannot find it now) but i dont know if or how this is possible using the html formatting within this text field.
thanks in advance

Typewriter HtmlText Hyperlinks
Quick question:
I am doing a standard typewriter effect (I can post the code if anyone needs to see it) and loading in html formatted text from an external file. My html has some hyperlinks--before they display, the typewriting shows the code for the link, then once the code has all been 'typed in,' it displays as a hyperlink:
example:
HTML Code:
<u><a href="page.htm" target="_blank">click here</a></u>
All the characters are shown including the a and u tags then once the whole tag is typed in, the link displays correctly, such as "click here."
Am I explaining this clearly?
Can anyone think of a way to make the typewriter just type in the link instead of the code? It doesn't have a problem with < br > tags!
Thanks.

Hyperlinks
I use Frontpage 2000 to make my current website, it is a frames page with banner, contents and main frames.
Using Flash 5 I have made a navbar, consisting of several different buttons. I have put links to my other pages on the buttons using the 'get url' action on flash 5, but I cannot get them to open the link in the 'main' frame... only either as a new window, in the current 'contents' frame or in the whole window.
Could someone please help me with this problem?
Cheers,

.txt With Hyperlinks?
This I know is a challenging question that needs to be answered by guru.
My client wants to update his or her own text info; I have no problem setting up for that.
They want it scrollable; I have no problem setting up that.
The problem is that their text info has url addresses that they want active. Is it possible to have a .txt with active hyperlinks? I was thinking that the action script somehow would be able to call the http:// in the .txt
Any ideas or even maybe, answers or even a better idea?

Hyperlinks?
Hey guys.
I am new to flash and i recently bought a template so that I could have a flash website, I have managed to add everything I needed on the template using Flash MX 2004. When I tested the hyperlinks which I had added to external websites in Flash they worked fine however when I try clicking the links when I have the actual HTML file open, they dont work at all?
Does anybody know what the problem could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a button that will open a seperate html file in a _blank window. Right now it works fine but I want the new window to open up the same size as the photo so there isn't a ton of dead space around the photo. I know that in dreamweaver you can specify the size of the window that you're opening into. Is this possible in Flash? I imagine it is, but I can't remember how to do it in dreamweaver so I'm totally stuck. Anybody have any ideas?

function navigate(evt:MouseEvent):void {
getURL("http://www.adobe.com","_self");
}
Only I got an error
I'm sure this is a really basic question,

Hyperlinks In XML?
Hi,
So I've learned how to bring in XML data in to FLash after going over a few tutorials such as Kirupa's.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...ldataflash.htm
But I'm wondering how I can have a link in Flash that is specified in XML. I've deduced from what I've read that I should probably do this with CDATA like shown below but am having a hard time getting this to display properly in Flash. Right now it all comes in, HTML and everything.
This is what displays in swf:
<a href="<A href="http://www.example.com"><font color="#FF0000">click</font> here</a>
And I did click on the button, "render text as HTML."
Help Please. Thanks
Here's my actionscript.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.date = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.headline = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.link = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.content = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
date_txt.text = _root.date;
headline_txt.text = _root.headline;
link_txt.text = _root.link;
content_txt.text = _root.content;
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("news.xml");
Here's my XML
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<news>
<item>
<date>September 6, 2006</date>
<headline>Gallery Show at Blah Blah Gallery</headline>
<link><![CDATA[<a href="<A href="http://www.something.com"><font color="#FF0000">click</font> here</a>]]></link>

XML Hyperlinks
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I am trying to learn how XML works, and I found this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/mx04ASclasses.htm I am looking at the xml file that came with the tutorial, and I don't know what I need to do to create a hyperlink with this code. What I would like to do once I get this figured out is figure out how to create these hyperlinks to open up an excel, word, powerpoint etc. type of document.Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Here is the code from the xml file:
Attach Code
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<directory name="Classes" type="directory">
<file name="Accessibility.as" type="actionscript"/>
<file name="Array.as" type="actionscript" />
<file name="AsBroadcaster.as" type="actionscript" />

Hyperlinks
I made a banner for a artist on myspace in which it has two buttons that need to be clicked. I uploaded it onto my website and it works perfectly but once on myspace it wont click or work at all. I know it has to do with something with
param name="allownetworking" value="internal"
param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"
You can't change this setting on myspace. Is there a way around this?
Here is my code
Attach Code
myButton3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goWhere2)
function goWhere2 (evt) {
var url = "http://www.myxer.com/perfektandchance"
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url))
}
myButton2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goWhere3)
function goWhere3 (evt) {

TextFormat And Hyperlinks
I I was expecting that the following code would have 2 hyperlinks linking to 2 different URLs.
jazzyStyle = new TextFormat();
jazzyStyle.color = 0xFF9977;
jazzyStyle.url = "jazz.html";
bluzyStyle = new TextFormat();
bluzyStyle.color = 0x881122;
jazzyStyle.url = "blues.html";
TF.html = 1;
TF.setNewTextFormat(jazzyStyle);
TF.replaceSel("Jazz
");
TF.setNewTextFormat(bluzyStyle);
TF.replaceSel("Blues");
But it's not the case. they both point to the second URL (Blues.html) although they have a different color. That is not cool I think.

Hyperlinks And Functions
Hey now..
I have gotten a nice XML parsing Routine all set up that works (much praise to Catbert on the Flashkit) and so on. It works well, but I have a couple of other questions though.
1.) Picture this - I want to have a story, which includes the names of several people. When you click the persons name I want to send this info as a parameter to my function. --------Can I send parameters to outside functions? Are there any special arrangements (like timeline placement) that I need to facilitate this?
-------- Can I imbed links like that in flash? (If yes, please furnish a keyword or method name which I can refer to to do this.
-------- Can I user the "Goto" frame call with a parameter to pass? I would like to essentially be able to do something like this
------- Can I successfully hold the name of a photo file in the external XML to load onto the page? What if the photo files are different sizes? Is this going to be a formatting problem?

Hyperlinks And Flash.
Hokay. I have been to many sites and they all say the same things about URLs and the getURL function. I have been trying to get buttons in my flash banner to open URLs in the same window.
I have tried the getURL("URL","_self","GET/POST");
I have also tried the above without the method parameter and without quotes on the target location parameter.
I am working in ASP and I wish to have a flash button open a URL in the current frame. Assistance would be appreciated.

I have created a Navigational fla. in flash 8 for a wedding website that is made of about 10 movieclips that will link the different pages of the website. The main site is created in Microsoft Frontpage and i will be importing the Navigation.fla into the site. I need to write code within the Navigation fla. to link the different mc's to the different pages.
My question is how do i target the other pages of the website in frontpage with a flash file. Meaning have the individual "welcome" mc have code that hyperlinks to the "Welcome.htm" file? Do i include the whole targert path on my pc? (ex: Documents and Setting/MyDocuments/WeddingWebsite/........)
Any help would be appreciated. Attached is a copy of the Navigation Fla. file

Hyperlinks In Flash
Right, I'm using Flash MX 2004 Pro and have made several little .swf files that drop into place on my HTML site.
Within these .swf are hyperlinks: both to other websites and to .zip and .exe files that i want to make downloadable. All links use the getURL command. eg.
on(release){
getURL("http://www.jackhartley.com", "_blank");
}
This has never been a problem before, but now the links don't seem to work. When tested in Internet Explorer nothing at all happens. When tested in Firefox, I get a message telling me that the Flash player itself has stopped the link because it is potentially harmful.
Anybody know why this is happening? Its certainly got me beat!
Cheers,
Jack.

Must Be Missing Something (Hyperlinks)
Alright, to start off I'm Using Flash MX 2004, I've got a banner going for a website with 3 Buttons on it (Linking to the main page, portfolio, and contacts)
I add the action script to the first button (Home):
on (release) {
getURL("URL HERE");
}
And for some reason whenever I go to publish preview, the link works. But when I export it, and put it on my site, the links don't work at all.
I'm fairly new to Flash, so maybe it's something small I missed?

XML, Combobox's And Hyperlinks
Ok, I produced a small 'widget' a while back which achieved the following:
You selected an item from a combobox which populated a list. When you clicked on an item within the list you where re-directed to an associated URL. The file worked via a central XML file reading as folllows..
Code:
<xmlPath>
<myPath albumName="Choose..." xmlFile="Choose.xml">
</myPath>
<myPath albumName="System" xmlFile="System.xml">
</myPath>
<myPath albumName="Department Overviews" xmlFile="DepartmentOverviews.xml">
</myPath>
</xmlPath>
The System.xml file reads like the following...
Code:
<database>
<Index mydata="6675" mylabel="RA Department Overview" ></Index>
<Index mydata="6676" mylabel=" Sales Department Overview" ></Index>
</database>
The FLA file has now been 'misplaced' and I am completely lost at where to start again with this!
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
