Windows In A Flash Movie?
I'm having trouble creating pop up windows displaying graphics that I want to load when buttons are clicked on my page. Anyone have a clue how to duplicate the javascript html popup windows using ONLY flash? I really want to try to keep this complicated page I'm working on as simple as possible by using just one large flash file.

Again, all I need is a script to generate a presized and closable window that I can put a graphic in. Any ideas?

Thanks much

I'm looking for an actionscript to create draggable windows with scroll bars in them which would allow the user to manually scroll through the image which appears inside the draggable window.

So far, all the actionscripts I've seen for creating windows with scroll bars, deal with scrolling text only, not graphic images.

Pop Up Windows For More Than One Button In A Flash Movie, Using Javascript
I've followed your tutorial for pop up windows and I've got a Flash movie with a button that opens a pop up window. So far so good.

But . . . I want several buttons to open new pages in a pop up window. I put the javascript specs in the Header of the page in which the Flash movie resides, so the popup for the "Schedule" button comes up as I want it to. But . . . I have other urls for other buttons and I have not been able to figure out how to add additional urls into the Javascript and how to add the right code to the other buttons so that additional buttons within that Flash movie can open additional pages in a similar pop up window.

Here is my Flash movie: http://www.jaguarwoman.com/client/ri...lashindex.html

(You have to get past the intro to get to the next section where the buttons with the pop up code is located. If you click on "Theater Information" in the top left navigation in the intro, it will take you to the frame in the movie where my popup buttons are on the lower left half of the interface: "Schedule" and "Directions".)

If you click on "Show Schedule" (top button in left hand arraay), you get the popup exactly as I want it.

But . . . whenever I try to add additional popup instructions to other buttons (such as Directions) , adding the same code to the button and adding another url to the javascript at the top of the html page in which the Flash movie is imbedded . . . The first button is disabled and the second one doesn't pop up a new window either.

When I put in a specific url in the javascripted button code for the Schedule button . . . the popup is disabled. When I leave out the url information in that button code, it works.

Here is the javascript code that actually works for the first popup successfully:

function popup() {
window.open('schedule.html','','toolbar=no,locatio n=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbar s=yes,resizable=no,width=790,height=760,left=200,t op=80');
}

When I try adding additional urls in the javascript code in the head of the html page in which the movie is imbedded, the pop up is similarly disabled.

Here is the Flash code I'm using for the Schedule button (when it works):

on (release) {
getURL("JavaScriptopup();");
}

Seems like there should be a url specified for that popup which would tell it which html page to put in the popup . . . when when I add that, the popup doesn't work at all. And . . . how can I differentiate in the code which html pages should be appearing in that popup window as it is coded in the javascript in the page in which the .fla file is imbedded (see above)?

Adding popup code for more than one button in a Flash movie . . . This is my dilemma to solve?

Can you help me?

Flash Tracks In Exported Movie Opening New Windows
this is for a theoretical project, (i truly am a novice at this) so sorry for the lack of technical lingo.

i want to create a flash track on top of a QT track in a movie, and when the movie ends, the flash track continues: displaying a question for the user. ie, a form...so, how can i create a one question form to be displayed only once the movie has timed out,and, how do i then link to a new flash form in a new window if the user answers the question correctly?
(and: how do i make the movie window close, but only if the user has answered the question correctly?)

Flash Movie Very Slow To Download On Windows XP Machine

But it just won't load (or just loads extreamly slow) on windows XP machine. We have a fiber connection here at the office so I know it isn't the internet. Anyone experienced something similar.

Flash Popup Adverts/windows That Aren't Windows

I think they use div layers as well as some flash? But im not sure where to find a tutorial!

For an example visit:

Interesting Issue With Flash And Windows - Flash Start With Windows?
Hey guys,
I'm programming a flash application that would run on a user's desktop (using MDM or similar programs to convert to a transparent background EXE).
My client would like to have the users select weather they want to application to start with windows or not. I would like to know how to make my flash application start with Windows without manually adding it (the users won't have to add it to the startup folder themselves). Can flash write to the registry? Can a third party program do it for me? The client wanted to EXE to run without an installation. Thank you very much!

Playing A Flash Movie Inside Another Movie
Hi All. I've created a small site out of flash, and the content I have made using Swish. I exported the Swish to an SWF file, then imported the SWF into a new symbol --> Movie, named "Content". This consisted of 20 individual frames. I then accepted it, and dragged the "Content" from the Library into the main piece of movie itself, but when I try to view the movie the imported SWF does not play. Does anybody know how to play a flash movie, inside another flash movie. Cheers,

Movie Clip Inside A Flash Movie
Hi,

I would like to insert inside a flah animation differents movie clips of differents size than the main animation. Does it make sens?

Ok, let's say I've got a 600px X 250px Flash animation, now I would like to insert in this animation 3 other movie clips next to each other-each one of them measuring 200px X 250px.

That way I will have 3 small animations with there own boundaries running at the same time on the main animation, so if I want a ball going from left to right in the first animation (the one at the far left on the main animation), the ball will diseapear inside the first animation boundaries without appearing on the main animation.

Ok it's a bit confuse but I am not a Flash expert, so forgive me.

Thanks

My Flash Movie Won't Work Inside Another Movie?
I have a menu that rises and falls with actionscript, though when I put the menu into a movie clip, the menu does not rise or fall anymore. :-( I can't figure out why the movie will work on the main frames, but not when I place it into a movie clip. It would be nice to have everything into a movie clip so that it does not take up so much space on my opening frames. Can anyone take a look at my .fla and tell me what I'm doing wrong?! Thanks!

Remoting Movie Inside Flash Movie
Hi,

I have several separate Flash movies that use remoting to connect to the database.

My experience in Flash is pretty much limited to the creation of these movies, so my questions may seem silly but here goes:

I need to put all these movies into a larger movie but I have no idea how to do so

When I import to library and drag an instance onto the stage and give instance name, the movie shows up but does not play. When I use _root.<instance_name>.play(), I get nothing.

Can anybody offer advice on how to get these individual flash movies with remoting to work when inside a larger flash movie?

Thanks,

Making Flash Open Windows Media Player And Close After The Movie Has Played
Hello People.

I'm stuck on this, and really need help fast as it's to be in today.

I've made a presentation that if left will start cycling automatically through my work. The only problem is, is that it needs to play my AVI at the end.

I can't import the AVI into Flash because it's 40Megs, and Flash just can't handle the sound and images at the same time.

Is there anyway of getting Flash to open up Windows Media Player, playing the movie then closing it down again?

At the moment I'm using the geturl to open a webpage with the video in it, but this sticks it shrunk at the side of the window and you have to click to maximise it. Which kinda runs the automaticness of it.

Can any of you help.? I need help quickly.

Button Inside Movie Clip Inside Scrollpane Doesn't Work In Xml
This is sorta odd but I'm hoping somewhat easy to fix. This is in AS2 and is the last problem I have in a very small project of mine.

I have button called button01 inside a movieclip called movieclip01 which is the contentPath for a scrollpane called scrollpane01. I'd like the button to work, and depending on the code it will work in the normal .swf but won't when I embed my movie into xml.

If I put the code inside movieclip01

button01.onRelease=function(){
_root.gotoAndPlay("Frame Name");
}

It will work when I test it but not in the XML. So what I want to do is go to the main timeline where the scrollpane is and write the code there. That is where I'm stuck.

I've tried scrollpane01.movieclip01.button01 and tried movieclip01.button01 and also tried scrollpane01.button01. Just for giggles I also tried scrollpane01.movieclip01 but none of that works

Last night I had a similar problem with buttons inside a movieclip that was on the root stage. They worked in the swf but not when I embedded the file - so I found this which worked (typed in the root stage)

movieclip01.button01.onRelease=function(){

Tween Inside A Button Inside A Movie Clip
Say I have 3 squares, from left to right, blue, red, yellow. The 3 squares together are a MC that move from off the stage on right, across the stage to line up on the left. Now say I want to make the left blue square a button so that when you roll over it, it has a orange frame and then when you press down on it it dims, and a larger version of it shows up above it. how would I do this? What i've done so far is made a button inside the MC, then on the down state of the button made a graphic button for the blue square, but it doesn't stay dimmed, and I don't even know how to make the larger blue square appear.

Is this too confusing?

Flash Movie Inside Dreamweaver....
Ok, this seems relatively straight forward but I am getting tricked a bit...I have a page being created in dreamweaver that basically is information about pictures and then has a link for each group of pictures...What I want to do is have each link staggered down the page, when a person clicks the link I want it to play a flash movie clip that I have made for each group of pictures that basically works like a photo album...I have the flash movie made so that part is done, the question I have is how do I do this combining flash into dreamweaver...I know how to do it if it were flash only considering the movie clip would simply pop up over my original flash work...But in dreamweaver I am use to having to place a flash movie in the file and it takes up a certain amount of page space, this is what I don't want...I want to be able to click on one of the links I have made and have my original dreamweaver page stay in the background while the photo album simply appears like a small pop up window to play my movie clip....any suggestions? thanks....

Getting Movie Dimensions From Inside Flash?
Hi,

I'm wondering if there is any way to get a movie's dimensions from inside flash/actionscript.

The reason I need to do this is because I want to enable users of my site to embed the flash movie I am working on onto their site (the flash movie loads dynamic content), while at the same time keeping the ratio of the content inside of the movie the same, just in case the user chooses to resize the <object> or <embed> tag to incorrect proportions. I want to avoid the content inside of the flash looking squished.

Here's a detailed example to make sure everyone is on the same page...

- Some dynamic content that will be in the flash movie has a width of 100, and a height of 200. Hence a ratio of 1:2.

- A user copies a premade object/embed tag from my website (that has the above-mentioned width/height parameters) and puts it on their website, but after realizing they don't have 200 pixels of space to fit the height of the flash movie, they replace the 200 height with 100, but leave the width at 100 as well. This changes the ratio of the movie to 1:1 from 1:2. that means that the height of all the content will be squished to 1/2 the size it is supposed to be on that user's webpage. This is what I don't want.

- If i had the movie width and height inside of flash/actionscript, ie- the width of the object/embed tag, I could rescale the content inside so that it retains the ratio that I want without any stretching or skewing. There would be some space leftover, but a simple padding function could take care of this (ie- i could center the content).

- The solution must not require any javascript. Yes i realize I could, with js, get the object/embed width/height and send it to flash with the new external interface calls that were made available in flash 8, however, I do not want to force users that choose to embed this content to use any javascripts.

I hope I have been clear enough in my description, and hope there is an answer to this question thanks.
