How To Load .swf Files In Other .swf Files In HTML Tables?
Ok I need help on figuring out how to place several different flash files in table cells in HTML. basically how to make a flash website, i did the tutorial for it but it just loads .swf files from one movie clip into another. how do you load a .swf file into another .swf file in an html table? for instance say I have 3 rows for my table. each row has one TD cell. inside each cell is one .swf file.

so we have one .swf file in each row. if i click a button in the top row(top .swf file), how do i get it to make a .swf file load into a blank .swf file in the middle row? i want a top menu in flash and i want it to load .swf files into a middle display area. how do i do this with external .swf files that are not all in the same movie? know what i mean? i hope i didnt confuse everyone. basically, can you target a .swf file in a table cell from a .swf file in another table cell? please email me if you know how to help me, thank you I appreciate your time.

Uploading Html Files With .swf Files In Them
I created a website and published it in Flash. I then used Dreamweaver to create the HTML file that I would upload to my server. But, when I go to my site, the .swf file does not load.

Both the HTML file and the .swf file were uploaded using an FTP client, so I don't know why it's not showing up.

Saving Html Files As Cfm Files
In older versions of Flash it was possible to tell the html publish setting to be saved with a cfm extension. I am having a hard time seeing how that can be done in the new version CS3. I go into the publish setting and give the file a cfm extension but when it exports it looks like this, ",html.cfm" it's just a pain to have to go back and change the extension after the fact. Am I missing something in the new version?

Thanks,

.swf Files Into HTML Files
I have a .swf file, and in my html document I add it as an object through dreamweaver, save the html file and then when I open my page, the .swf doesn't even show. But viewing the source, I know it's there.

I can sometimes get part of the swf file to show up. The buttons(just pasted .jpg files converted to buttons) load, but are in charge of changing what the user sees in the content loader..and the content loader doesn't even show up....

When I open my html file made by flash for the swf, it works and is completely fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help!

Published Swf Vs. Html Files...
Hello,

I'm trying to fully understand how a Flash site upload and then user download works. Is the following correct?...

-- The swf and html files are uploaded to the server.
-- The user enters the url and their browser (somehow) gets to the proper place on the server to find the html file
-- First, the html file is read by the browser, and it tells the browser to load the swf file and also gives the browser some instruction on how to display the swf

Thank You,
Todd Lerner

Open Html Files
Hi,

I have 3 fla files published as flash and html. Now I have saperated the swf files and the html files in two different folders called "swf" and "html".

There is a button on each fla which opens the next html file from the html folder.

eg. This is a code written on button in fla1.

on(press)
{
getURL( "../html/two.html" );
}

This code dosn't work. Will it work? because the swf and html files are in different folders.

Any idea?

Thanks...

Links From SWF Files In HTML
Hi there

I came with the surprise that Links from SWF files in HTML is no longer supported by flash player 9.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...cf38&sliceId=1

I don't know if theres an alternative to the getUrl script. What I want to do is to load swfs on a html but in same tab. What happens with the actual file is that it loads the content on separate tabs and it shouln´t but this happens due to the new flash player update mentioned on the upper link.

Here are some images to illustrate what happens and waht I wanna do

This is what happens whenever I click any option on the side menu. This shouldn't be loaded on a separate tab

This is what should happen, the content should be loaded on the same tab

(made it PS)

Any suggestions??

Linking To HTML Files
I was just wondering if the following is possible:

say i have a folder within a folder within a folder...
and i have html files in each folder...

i tried referencing the whole path in the getURL bit... but then when i upload the swf in my site the links dont work on other computers...

would much appreciate if someone could help... thanx

Linking The Swf Files Through Html
Hi,
I have created an animated flash banner. I want to link the banner to a web site on click over the banner.This is my script over the banner:

getURL("http://www.mysite.com", "_blank");

But I don't want to write the code in flash as I want to give the link in html.
Is it possible to link swf files using "a href ..." like any other images in html?
Any help will be appreciated.

Embedding Swf Files In Html
This may sound like a rather idiotic topic, but I have some problems with getting swf files created by using the free compiler to compile actionscript files into swf files. I do not expect anyone to give me a full explantion of this. I have tried searching the web, but get swamped with results without finding what I am looking for. I am wondering if there are some special issues associated with using this kind of swf files on the internet? I am also wondering if someone know a site that has some good information on various issues that may arise when integrating an swf file into a html page?

Files - Index.html?
I have a problem and it might sound very dumb, so you will have to be patient.

Ok here goes, I'm having a lot of problems at the moment testing my site that is made in flash - I keep getting the page not found page.

I have made a homepage into which all other swf files will be pulled in by pressing home, contact etc. Now then, quite obviously the homepage will be the first one to load, so, should i name this page index right from the start, and then when it is published, it creates the index.html page ready for uploading to the server, or can I name it homepage and then at a later date, rename the file. This later one is the one I have been using and I think it is causing some sort of conflict - I need to know the correct procedure.

Thank you

Load Different Swf Files Into Html

Open Html Files In Swf?
how might I open an html file and stratigically place, size, toolbars(on/off) etc.... I know how to open, but it always opens behing my movie and replaces the movie. but that is done with

on (release) {
getUrl("someurl.html", _blank);
}

how might i place and size this the way I want? See what I am trying to accomplish here is a full flash site and to be able to open links in the movie w/o replacing the movie.

I thought this could be done?

Thanks again,

Using .swf Files For HTML Navigation
I am putting together a site and I have been supplied with four .swf files to use in the navigation. These files are essentially animated rollovers and I have sucessfully inserted them into the page using SWFObject.

I have wrapped these with <a></a> tags with href to the appropriate pages I want to link to and here I have encountered my problem. In FF, Safari & Chrome the linking all works however in the ever frustrating IE nothing happens.

This is all very new to me and I never have to deal with flash normally, aside from inserting the odd file into my layouts.

Is there a simple solution to this problem, aside from eradicating IE from the face of the Earth?

Txt And Html Files In Flash?
I know that it is possible to let a flash movie display text that is in a .txt file. Could you please explain me how that was done? I know that this question has been asked before but I don't remember the answer anymore.
Is it also possible do display a html page inside a flash movie? Or at least the text that is in the html file?

Buttons And Connectivity To HTML Files
I'm trying to figure out if I can export a button created in Flash and use it within an HTML doc created in DreamWeaver. In other words, can a Flash button somehow be connected with URLs so that users are directed to other links when they click on the button? I didn't know if a button is considered a stand-alone object or if it must be used only within a site created entirely in Flash.

Thanks for any input you may have.

Loading External HTMl Files?
I am wondering if you can load external HTMl files into your FLASH movie upon click/link ...whatever. Like you can load external .swfs into a certain place...and...if you can ...can you start your NAV/MENU at a level (say 3) and then load all external HTML files into say,...level 2??

I want to use external HTML pages for loading most of the content for a site...quick and easy..already done too. What i want to do is when I click on a FLASH link..have an animation happen where the HTML file is to load...say a door closing...then when it opens the external HTML files already visible/loaded underneath! Thanks...I hope you understand. I want to stay away from using frames!

-whispers- Is this possible??

P.S. Edit/Update...If I tried this using Frames...Could I possibly do sometig like this? OnClick of link "X" Load external Intro/Preloader.swf?..AND THEN....if that .swf use sometihng to keep looping (preloader) until HTMl pages is loaded into that FRAME?? Can you preload an HTML fle? What would you use? I have only used if frame loaded actions...maybe the KBloaded??? Someone help me out here.. Thanks! -whispers-
