Flash :: Tell Target In Seperate Frame...

Communicating Between 2 Seperate .swf's Each In A Seperate Frame(HTML) ... Help
this seems so elementry, .. yet I cant get it working ...

here is what I have....

A frameset (2 frames).... Frames "Top" and "Bottom"

Frame "top" contains the .swf Named and ID'd as "cont"
Frame "bottom" contains the .swf Named and ID'd as "nav"

The _parent of the frameset contains the following script.. (between the <HEAD> tags)

<script language="Javascript">
function forward1(){
window.top.document.cont.GotoFrame(10);
}
</script>

The movie in the frame "bottom" controls the movie in frame "top" with this.

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript: forward1()", "top");
}

Please look at the source for the _parent ... maybe the mistake will be apparent,heres the link
http://www.alpha8.com/s3/index.html

I'm using dream weaver ..

I'm sure that the javascript is in the _parent of the frameset.

I'm Mac IE5 ... Javascript no go?

Thanx in advance ... I desperately need a solution to this prob.

Seperate Target Clips
Okay this might sound and look stupid. I will try to make it as simple as I can. I have two links within a box.

_________________________________
Biology

Business
_________________________________

Here is the code for Biology link:

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.biology") {
play ();
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.biology") {
stop ();
}
}

Here is the code for Business link:

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.business") {
play ();
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.business") {
stop ();
}
}

Now what my problem when I put my mouse over biology link it will play the movie, but when I put my mouse over the business link, you can still see the target from the biology link. What I want is to keep them seperet. I want the biology target to disappear when I have my mouse over the business link. And the business target to disappear when I have my mouse over the biology link. I hope I made this as simple as I can. Thankyou.

How Do I Target A Mc In An .swf Loaded On A Seperate Level To The Button
Quick question for you...

I am now familiar with the use of the _leveln. command, however I find that is is not precise enough. For instance I have a base level movie that is the main page of a website... I tell it to laod a new .swf file to level2 and stop there...

Within this new swf on level2 is a mc called "content_movie" and I want a button pressed on the main movie on level0 to tell the mc "content_movie" on level2 to gotoAndPlay at specific frame...

I have tried using 'tellTarget' and 'with' commands to control the seperate movie clip, however I might be getting the syntax wrong but it just won't do it for me. I always get a "target not found" error as it appears to be trying to find my taget relative to the base movie and not realtive to the swf loaded on level2

If anyone can think of a solution I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to seperate my page into several different movies to drastically reduce the loading time for the initial page.

If anyone wants to see the fla files for the page simply email me at:

mike@linboswell.com.au

the unfinished swf can be viewed here:

http://www.angelfire.com/d20/zebra_d...ed_astaire.htm

This is the first, unseperated version of the mock site and does not contain the functions I am now trying to add. I look forwards to your comments on both this problem and the site I am building... (it's rather plain at the moment as it is still a prototype).

Thankyou,

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,
Stephen.

I have to seperate .swf files.
How does one link to from one .swf files to a paticular frame in another?

If so, does anyone know how to link to the 2nd html page, with the 2nd .swf, then to the paticular frame????

Help needed urgently.

Opening A Page In A Seperate Frame On A Website
what is the code to open a seperate URL using a flash button which is on a different frame in a frames style website.

for example, i have a 2 frame website. 1 frame has the links, and the other is for the main content. The links page contains seperate swf buttons which open up seperate web pages in the main contents page.

In normal html on the button link, you use <a target = _content.html>, or something like that.

what would you use in flash?

Can't Target A Frame Label Or Frame Number Within Movie Clip
Hi guys,

Can't for the life of me figure out why this is not working:

if (_currentframe==82) {
homefade_mc.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
design_mc.gotoAndPlay("design_fade"); - this one is fine
}

- the first gotoAndPlay should be going to the homefade mc and then going to the "fadeup" frame label and play from that, but instead it does nothing. Any clues?

Help:make Button Play Frame From Seperate Movie Symbol
I am trying to make an animation for my TEE Physics class as we are going to do a report & talk on something. For some strange reasons I chose airconditionares

so the intro to this animation is of side on view of an airconditionare (really scabby looking) with what is meant to be ribbons hanging off it. in the center is a "controller" basically a square with airconditionre control written on it and a button saying "on"

all of the ribbons are copies of a movie symbol and i want to make it so that when the on button is pressed then the ribbon movie symbols will go to frame 2 and start fluttering in the breeze.

My problem is that my limited knowlede of scripting animations is makes it so that i have no idea how to do this

I've tried searching for help but can't find any.

thnx in advance for any help I get

Target Frame
Hey Everyone! I have a menu that I'm working on and I'm not too good at action scripting, but I'm learning. I had some help setting up the action script to config some links... now I need the links to target a frame. This is the coding for the HTML links:

eval('sub' add i).ver.htmlText = "<a href="" + _root.url4[i] +"">" +_root.sub4[i] + "</a>";

So where do I put the target="mainFrame" so it will change the main frame of my site?? Can anyone help me? Thanks!!

Tell Target In Other Frame?
I want to tell a .swf located in another html frame to goto a specific frame no. (ex. goto frame 6 and stop) when clicking a button in the main .swf located in the mainFrame. Is that possible? I'm thinking some kind of tellTarget command?

The frame where the .swf is located: leftFrame

The .swf: left_side.swf

Thanks,

Mik

Target Frame
I've made a Flash button which uses, for testing purposes, the following for targeting the "content" named frame, in a Dreamweaver frameset, to load the Google site:

geturl ("http://www.google.com", "content")

Funny thing is: it only works when the site is uploaded and online. When I open index.html locally and click on the Flash Button, the "content" frame doesn't change to Google.com. However, when I use a local htm file to be loaded, e.g.:

geturl ("contact.htm", "content")

it works as it should work: contact.htm is loaded in the "content" frame.

Is this normal?

First I tried it by loading Google in a new window like this:
geturl ("http://www.google.com", "_blank") and that works fine. So I'm wondering why targeting named frames in Dreamweaver this way only works when all is uploaded...

[F8] Target Frame .. ?

Target A Frame On A MC
my frame label contains a movie clip... when the playhead goes to the frame label "corporate", i want it to play the movie clip sitting on the frame label, but starting at frame 20 of the movie clip...

i have the following code but doesn't work and i can't understand why... i attached an example of what i have made...

Button Code

Code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("corporate");
_root.playFromTwenty = true;
}
Code on Frame Label

Code:
if(playFromTwenty == true) myMC.gotoAndPlay(20);

Target Frame
my flash buttons are in a frame. I want to target another frame to replace content of that frame.

contest_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL ("contest.html", "leftframe");

}

it replaces the whole page with this page. It does not just replace the left frame with the contest.html as I am intending.

How do I do this?

How Do I Target A Frame Label
ok, after my preloaded the movie my main movie goes to frame 40 and stops. On that frame I have a movie clip that plays. we will call this movie CLIP1

When clip one reaches its last frame I want the root timeline to jump to frame 60 and stop.

I tried labeling frame 60 or the root timeline jump1

Now I set up an action on the last frame of CLIP1 as follows

with (root.jump1) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "jump1");
}

IT gives me an error object not found.
How do I target a frame label rather than a movie clip instance?

GotoAndPlay To A Target Frame
I have a problem that has been stumping me for quite some time and I'm hoping one of you pros can shed some light for me.

I have a flash movie that is used as a navigation bar for my site. It works fine on it's own, but I also want to be able to control it from a different source. I simply want to be able to load the movie and start at a target frame based on the viewer choosing a region from a list elsewhere on my page. I am trying to accomplish this just by sending a URL variable when it's loaded. For example, the flash movie might be loaded like this:

navflash.swf?targetFrame=11

I have created a little debug text field in the movie that just shows the variable targetFrame. That text field shows the proper value based on the URL, so I know that the variable is getting passed correctly. The only values that actually get passed to it are 11, 31, 51, 71, 91, 111, 131 and 151 which are the start frames of the various parts of my navigation setup.

On frame 1 of my movie I have an action that is:
code: stop();
if (targetFrame>1) {gotoAndPlay(targetFrame);}This is where my problem starts. No matter what the value of targetFrame actually is, the movie jumps to frame 14. I have been able to verify this by changing my gotoAndPlay() to a gotoAndStop() and checking what the actual start frame looks like. After playing through a few frames, frame 28 has an action that tells the movie gotoAndPlay(1). Bizarrely, this time when it goes to frame 1, it properly executes the original gotoAndPlay(targetFrame) and goes to the correct frame. So the problem is that it is only executing the gotoAndPlay(targetFrame) properly when the movie jumps back to frame 1, but not when the movie first loads. I had a delete targetFrame command along with the gotoAndPlay(1) on frame 28, but deleted it during my troubleshooting. Once I figure this out, I plan on putting it back in so that the variable is deleted and an endless loop is prevented when it returns to frame one.

I have attached the original .fla file in a .zip. I hope somebody can shed some light on my problem. Thanks in advance.
