Flash :: Linking To Other Frame ...

GetURL - Linking To A Frame Within A Frame, HOW?
I am trying to use the getURL command to open a url that is a frame contained within another frame, eg: Button in frame X that when clicked will open the html in frame Z ONLY:

-----------------------
|....frame X..........|
-----------------------
|..frame.Y.|..frame.Z.|
-----------------------

- name "TopFrame"

- name "BottomFrame"
-inner frames of "Bottom Frame":
"LeftFrame" & "RightFrame"

I have a button in "frame X" and when clicked, would like the gerURL to open the html file in "frame Z".

Can someone inform me what you would put in the URL and WINDOWS box when Flash5 prompts you to enter the values?

I know it has something to do with including the wored "PARENT" but each time I try attempting this, it opens a completly new popup browse.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Linking To A Frame
I have created a page that has a top frame (mainhead) and a lower frame (mainfoot). In the top frame there is a flash movie that has buttons to navigate the lower frame. I read the tutorial about linking to it but it didn't seem to work as the page opens in a new window rather than the lower frame. The parameters for the getURL action are:

URL: http://www.hotmail.com (I used this address just to test it)
Window: mainfoot
Variables: Don't Send

Any ideas? Thanks,
Jamie

Linking To A Frame
I'm trying to get the button to link to a frame called "body" in my web page... I've tried the following:

<a href="home.html" target="body"><OBJECT classid="clsid:blah blah"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
WIDTH=172 HEIGHT=129>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="My Movie.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFE90A> <EMBED src="My Movie.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFE90A WIDTH=172 HEIGHT=129 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT></a></td>

but it doesn't seem to work...

I've also tried:

on (release) {
getURL ("home.html", "_body");
}

as an action tied to a button in the Flash program. This links the button to the Home page, but places it in it's own frame and not the body frame.

Can some one please point out where I'm going wrong???

Thanks.

M.

(ps I haven't combined the two pieces of code, I've either had the button of the <a href> tag, but not both...)

Linking To A Frame In A MC
I know how to link out of a MC to the main timeline using _parent, but I'm having issues going from the main timeline to a specific frame within the movie clip. (www.better-tools.com/website) I'd like to link the sitemap's subcategories (like FAQ on support) to the frame within the support MC. Right now I can only do a "go here" to the first frame of the movie clip because of how it's placed in the timeline. I tried doing a _parent.support.gotoandplay ("3") thingy but it didn't work.

Linking From Page To Frame
I need some help here...

I want to know how I can link from a button in a flash movie to a specific frame in another flash movie on another page.

Basicly what I want to happen is when the button is clicked, it'll load another page and start the flash movie on it on frame 40.

Linking To A Particular Frame In Another .swf File. How?
I've got many .swf files loaded into my site at any given time. I'm constantly updating everything and building it further and further out. One particular portion of the site I want to turn into a place where you can find all the latest stuff I've changed. So you can go directly there and look at all the new stuff and link straight to it. This means that I need to not only link to an .swf file but I need to tell it exactly what frame it should go to.

How can this be done?

I hope this made sense to someone, I feel like I'm rambling on.

thanks in advance,
Fletch

Linking To A Frame In Another Movie
I've only been working with Flash for the past couple of weeks oon a project (baptism by fire).

The problem that I have run into it that I have two movies that work like a slide show using a "next" and "back" button. The problem is that when I click the "bac" button in movie2, it goes to the beginning of movie1. However, I need it to actually go to the 14th frame in the timeline.

I have been able to target movie1 with the "LoadMovieNum" command, but haven't had any luck beyond that.

I have attached the samples files that I have been with.

Any assistance would be greatly apperciated.

Flash Frame Linking
I want to link "text" up to a specific frame, for example frame 1 contains the text that I want to link up, and I want to link it to say frame 40, when the text is clicked on it will jump to that frame.

I also want to revere this and link to frames all over the movie, if someone can post an example piece of action scrip and/or a flash movie that show me how to do it.

I would very much appreciate any help, Thanks in advance

Also if I wanted to turn a flash movie into a screen saver will I need to get additional software in order for me to turn the flash movie into a screen saver?

Linking To A Frame In A Movie

I would like the ability to have it jump to a specific scene or frame label once it been viewed, can I do this?

Linking To A Specific Frame On Another Swf
Hi all,
I am trying to get a button on one swf to go to a specific frame on another swf. I have two movies A.swf and B.swf

I have five frames in A.swf. I have a button in B.swf. I want the button in B.swf to link to frame 4 in A.swf.

To accomplish this, I have the following code:
//code on the button in B.swf
on (press){
loadMovieNum("A.swf",1);}
on (release){
with (_level1) {
gotoAndPlay ("frame5");
}
}It works absolutely great (for anyone who wants to know how to link to a specific frame on another swf). The only problem is that when I execute this in 'Test Movie' you can see B.swf under A.swf. How do I get rid of B.swf so users can see only A.swf and the contents in frame 4?

I've tried almost everything, including changing level 1 to level 0. In this case, the first frame of A.swf plays. The playhead does not go to frame 4.

Can anyone help me with this please?
Many thanks.

Frame Linking Problem
Hey everyone, I checked the board and couldn't find anything in relation to my question. So with that said I am having an issue with linking to different frames within the same swf file. Basically I am doing a website and when you click on the different links you go to different frames. Representing pages.

So the actual problem is when you click on the links the content for each page loads on the previous content. For example: If you are on the home page and click on the contact page, you will have the contact information on top of the home information. Hope that makes sense.

Curious if anyone can help.

Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Linking To A Frame Label In A Seperate .swf ?
I have a flash file that has 2 frames in it. The first is labelled 'home' and the second is labelled 'contact'. This flash file is embedded in a regular .html page.

How do I link to this regular .html page (that contains the for-mentioned flash piece with 2 frame labels) and make it go to the second frame ("contact") as soon as the page is loaded instead of just stopping at the first frame ("home").

Is this possible ?.

Thanks,

I wondered if anyone could help with this little problem..

Any ideas??

Linking Button In MC To Scene Frame #

Probs Linking To Frame Within A Dynamic Swf
Hi all,

I'm having some trouble linking to a frame in a dynamic swf from my main movie using a standard button.

Here are the actions I've used on the button:

Code:
on (release) { _root.profile.gotoAndPlay("out"); }

From what I can makeout, there are no problems with this...the containerMC has an instance name of "profile" and the dynamic swf has a preloader so I don't think it's the fact that the dynamic swf hasn't loaded.

Would someone mind taking a look at my fla's please? I can upload them or if you can give me your email address, I can email it to you or send the link.

Also, the .txt in the external swf seems to work sometimes but not others so if anyone fancies having a look to see what they can see, it would be very much appreciated. I don't know whether that might be something to do with my cache but I doubt it.

The only thing I can think of that's stopping all this happening is my preloader but I deleted it and tested my movie again but nothing changed.

I'd really appreciate any help that anyone doesn't mind giving as I need to show it to my client within the next few days!

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark

Linking To A Specific Frame In Another Swf File
I would like to create a button that when clicked it goes to a specific frame number in another swf file. This would happen all in the same html window.

I have built a program that is multiple swf files, and within these separate swf files I have used gotoAndPlay to create the program. I have been using getURL to link these separate swf files, but I now need to create a "back" button that will go to the end of the previous swf file. Does that make sence? Basically I need to link to a specific frame in another swf file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Troubles Linking To A Frame Within A Dynamic Swf. Please Help
Hello!

Thank you for checking this out...

I am trying to link to a frame within a dynamically loaded swf from my main swf. The button in my main swf has the following actions assigned to it:

Code:
on (release) {
_root.profile.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
I've tried using frame lables so my code looks like...

Code:
on (release) {
_root.profile.gotoAndPlay("out");
}
...The link however doesn't work either way and the movie just stays put frame-wise so I was wondering if you can please help me to see where I'm going wrong with it. The placeHolder MC has the instance of 'profile' on it so I fail to see what I'm doing wrong!

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark
