Flash :: Image Maps And Embedding HTML Onto Flash Movie

Embedding Driving Directions/Maps Into Mx2004
So i have been all over the google, yahoo, and mapquest coding sites, and i cannot seem to figure out how i can embed driving directions/ interactive maps into mx 2004.

The closest thing i found, is that yahoo has a whole mx2004 (or as2) coding section, that allows you to embed their maps into your swf with an extremely convenient component extension, however i can not seem to find anything that allows for driving directions.

I basically would like my viewers to not have to leave my restaurants web page, just type in a starting location, and have the directions/ route come up in a pop op window etc

any one have any luck with a project like this?

Can You Create Image Maps In Flash?
Can you create image maps in Flash? And how would that be done?

Create Vlink Effect In Flash Image Maps?
I'm creating a Flash page with a slew of thumbnails, each with an image map that links to a page with the bigger version. Is there any way I can get an image map to "change" to a translucent color, indicating the bigger version has been visited?
I know this can be done with hypertext, using vlink, but I couldn't find anything about even faking it with image maps, either here or on the web, through Google.
I'm still working on Flash 4 but have 5 and can use it if need be.

Thanks, Will

MOVIE WORKS, EMBEDDING HTML DOESN'T
hi,

i made this very simple flash movie with a button and the following code :

Code:
on (release) {

Embedding SWF Into HTML Page Stops Load Movie Function
I have a FLA with numerous external SWF's loaded simply by using code like this on a button:

on (release) {
_root.pattern.loadMovie("ss304.swf");
}

This works perfect when I test the movie and when I publish the movie. However, when I embed the SWF into a HTML page, the external SWF's no longer load. All the files are in the same directory.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks

Kinda Like Image Maps...

I guess this is basic drawing, whatever, anything that might help would be nice...

Emulating Image Maps
First off I am a newbie to flash so please bear with the questions..

My first project is to write a flash script that will emulate html image maps..

I have an 2D arcitectual image of a house and I want to be able to dynamicly load the image maps from a mysql table ( I got this figured out ) and have flash highlight the areas with a transparent polygon to indicate the defined area of the map as mouse moves over it..

So I need some info on how to create the boundries of the shapes, how to dynamicly draw the shape and fill it transparently, how to trigger say a popup describing the area under the popup, and how to assign the mouse press to act on that dynamic object..

Maybe some tutorial links would be great as well..

Thanks.. Kevin

Upload Image To Flash Movie From Html Form
Any ideas (or links to threads/tutorials) on how to have a running flash movie provide an option to upload an image. I would like to use a pop up window with a html form with upload file field, upon submitting, the window closes and the image is uploaded into the flash movie.

My initial thought is to uses a loadvar.load directed at the html form URL and have the form pass the path to the recently uploaded image, which will need to be be uploaded to a temp directory on the server. Then the image is loaded to an empty movieclip.

Does that sound like the way to go or does someone have a better idea?
Thanks

Very new to this part...thanks for any help.

Embedding Flash In HTML
Greetings,

I have recently happened upon an alternate method of embedding Flash content in HTML that is far less cumbersone than the traditional method of using the <object> and <embed> tags. The nice thing about this method is that it also does your detection and allows for the display of alternate content. I'm in the midst of testing on different platforms/browsers/OSs now, but I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone has heard of it, used it and/or formed an opinion of it.

The markup is as follows:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="aMovie.swf" width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="aMovie.swf" />
<img src="noflash.gif" width="200" height="100" alt="" />

</object>

Where movie.swf is the flash content and noflash.gif is the alternate content that will be displayed in the absence of the correct Flash player (or one at all).

The developer refers to this as "The Satay Method". I won't get into it here, but there is a pretty good explanation of this method that can be found at http://www.alistapart.com/stories/flashsatay/index.html

Anyway, I will be conduction further tests, but did want to check and see if anyone has run into this at all. If you have and would like to share thoughts, I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Embedding HTML (and PDF) Into Flash
This is kind of backwards, but I need to embed some HTML documents into my Flash interface. A company already has an interactive HTML questionnaire, and they want it (along with a lot of other different types of files - such as .swf and .pdf) to be wrapped in a nicer interface.

I currently use Javascript to launch a browser window with the document with no status or address bar (you can see an example of this and the interface at http://manufacturing.stanford.edu)

Is there any way to "embed" an html file into Flash?

I'd also like to embed pdf documents (note: I've already looked at Flashants but would rather not have to have the user install another plugin).

Embedding Flash MX In HTML
I found this code on an old tutorial:

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" WIDTH="100"
HEIGHT="100" CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash5/cabs/
swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0">
<PARAM NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="moviename.swf">
<PARAM NAME="PLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="LOOP" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="QUALITY" VALUE="high">

<EMBED SRC="moviename.swf" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" PLAY="true"
LOOP="true" QUALITY="high"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>

</OBJECT>

So, how do I have to change this code to support Flash MX? Obviously this is just for adding Flash buttons and banners and such into an existing table. I'm using FrontPage 2002, if that's any help.

Embedding Flash Into HTML
Hi guys (and gals who don't like being one of the guys)

I've always used the following code to embed flash into HTML:

<embed src="flash.swf" width="640" height="480" border=0 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high"></embed>

But with the advent of additional security built into the newest Internet Explorer, it always gets blocked. I've not seen any other sites with the problem, so should there be another way I embed flash into html?

Thanks for your help!

[F8] Embedding Html In Flash
I have a simple website that I created and want to put up a video that will play directly from YouTube. What I want to do is embed the code they give me onto an SWF and have it play the video. I seem to be able to do this on a Dreamweaver page and on blogs but no matter how hard I try, the code comes up as text when I preview in HTML(Default). I have tried having it as dynamic text, input text, you name it and I can't seem to get it to play the video instead of the text displaying text. Can this even be done? If so, how how how?

I have a video embedded now that runs off my server but it takes forever and a day to load. Are there any other solutions to get a high quality 2min. video to play without at least a 2min. wait?

Embedding Flash In Frontpage HTML
Can someone assist me in trying to embed my file into Frontpage.
I took the sample from the site below and tried to use it. It worked when I used notepad but I'm practicing in Frontpage.

I put it in the HTML page of Frontpage and saw the info I put in when I went to preview. Does anyone happen to know if there's a user friendly tutorial somewhere out there. I would be most gracious.

Embedding Html 'set Area' Within Flash
I am trying to create a product CD in Flash for the first time. I have seen an idea that i would like to create but have no idea how to do this.
Imagine a Flash file 600x400, within this there is an area to the right that has html embeded within the flash (a big white square).
Each time the user clicks on any of the buttons (on the left), the area on the right changes to info regarding that button. On further investigation i realised that each of the html pages are actually html files being called and placed within Flash.

Can anyone please show me how this is done as I cant find anything on this at all.
Thanks

Embedding More Complex Html In Flash?
I'm wondering if it is possible to embed html in a flash movie beyond the limited html text you can use in a textField? For example, I have a box/panel in my flash interface that I want to display information. This information will change depending what is clicked on, and the information to be displayed will be stored in an XML file. Right now, the XML looks something like this:

<callout name="name" type="circle" size="100" locX=100 locY="100" info="mydata.html"/>

where "mydata.html" is an html page containing the information to be displayed. I want to use html because this content could be either text, an image, or a video, so I could create html pages with the content formatted appropriately and then I would like to just pull it into a movieclip in my flash movie and display as is. Is this possible?

Embedding Flash Into HTML Emails

HTML Embedding Flash To A Website
Ok. I made my first EVER flash movie. I bought some books on how to MAKE the movie and read everything i could on the net, but i can not seem to find the answer to my questions.

Help With Embedding Flash Drop Down Menu In HTML
Hi,

I have spent hours creating a drop down menu using flash pretty much from scratch. I have run into a bump in the Road. Basically what i'm trying to do is add my drop down menu into a HTML document. The problem i'm having is that the menu itself is only 50px in height, but with the drop down links it goes over 350px. What i need to do is somehow find a code that will enable the drop down links to go over my html page, rather than requiriing the full 350px height.

This link is the menu in full size, but most of the drop down links are cut off. http://www.easternsuburbs.org.au/New...ite/index.html

This link is the full sized one with all the links. http://www.easternsuburbs.org.au/New...te/index2.html

Basically i want to know if its possible to have the links fall down over the page, rather than taking up all that space.

Hope someone understands what i'm trying to explain. Thanks for your time,

Crackers.

Embedding Flash Into HTML - Satay Or SWFObject?
Hi,

Currently I’m using the Flash Satay method to embed Flash in my HTML code and I’m happy because it validates.

However now that SWFObject is the latest incarnation and also seems small and easy to set-up would it be wise to switch to this or stick with the Satay method?

Embedding HTML Into Flash Documents (and Not The Vice-versa)
does ANYBODY know how to view html in a flash document. i have a script written that writes news to an html file. but now i'm making a flash version of my site, and want the same news posted in flash. i know you can use the "Field1.html=true;" and everything, but there's too much incompatability between my html and flash. (eg, i use "&" in the links, <font> tags cause problems, etc)

i attached .SWF document, so take a look at it please! (couldn't post .fla .... the file size was too big)
