HTML in Actionscript

When I paste HTML text from Dreamweaver into Actionscript, to
appear in a dynamic text field, Actionscript chokes on any line
spaces between tags (which Dreamweaver automatically puts in). I
tried manually deleting all the line breaks, but the text is so
long, I end up with a single, incredibly unwieldy line of code.
There must be another way of getting Actionscript to accept
HTML text with invisible line breaks between the tags. Does anyone
know? Or do I have to load the HTML text from an external file? I'm
already loading a CSS stylesheet from an external file, maybe the
text needs to be too. Especially as I have several paragraphs of
text. Thanks!

you can use something like the following to make your code
more eyeball friendly:

HTML from ActionScript BUG

Keeping track of user actions in HTML from ActionScript
Document-level event listeners can be assigned to the
JavasScriptObject as illustrated in the example below, which traces
each DOM element in the HTML to receive an onmouseup event.
var doc:JavaScriptObject = event.currentTarget.domWindow;
doc.onmouseup = function():void
trace(arguments[0].srcElement);
on first mouse click does not work. It's a BUG???

Hi Golev,
Try registering the Document-level event listeners on the
"complete" event of <mx:HTML>, like the following full
example. Based on your description, it seems those events (such as
doc.onmouseup) are registered on the "click" event instead. If
that's the case, the events won't get registered until the 1st
click and consequently won't get fired until the 2nd click.

Adding HTML in ActionScript

I'd like to make a Flash project using AS 3.0 that I can have extentional links. What is the code to do so?
I'd also like to have a Flash project using AS 3.0 where I can call links from the same site.

I want to make an internal link within the same website. Would it be the same thing? For example I only want to use Flash on the index page, but I want the Flash to link to another page in the site.

Trouble Sending HTML Form Data

I've been tasked with replicating the following HTML in actionscript for the integration of a flash frontend onto an existing cart system:
HTML Code:
<form name="campaign" method="post" action="https://www.client.net/portal/site/client/template.APPFORM?app=CL_OC">
<input type="hidden" name="campaignSnippet" id="campaignSnippet" value="<campaign trackingCode="testing" xmlns="campaign"><ATONCE><styleColor number="123456-789"/></ATONCE></campaign>"/>
</form>
Now, I've been able to build the value string without any issues, but getting it to post successfully to the server is what's giving me problems. I've been able to use the above code in an HTML page to post the item to the cart successfully, but my code in AS3 (below) isn't successful:
ActionScript Code:
var sendOrder:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "https://www.client.net/portal/site/client/template.APPFORM?app=CL_OC" );
sendOrder.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.type = "hidden";
variables.name = "campaignSnippet";
variables.id = "campaignSnippet";
variables.value = encodeURIComponent(stringBuilder);
sendOrder.data = variables;
sendToURL(sendOrder);
(stringBuilder is the value string from the HTML snippet above)
What am I doing wrong in building the HTTP request?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way!

Try:
var sendOrder:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "https://www.client.net/portal/site/client/template.APPFORM?app=CL_OC" );
sendOrder.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.type = "hidden";
variables.name = "campaignSnippet";
variables.id = "campaignSnippet";
variables.value = encodeURIComponent(stringBuilder);
sendOrder.data = variables;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
// loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finished); // optional
loader.load(sendOrder);

DW CS5 use ActionScript files without Flash

Our websites must avoid requiring a Flash download in the client browser.
Can we use Dreamweaver CS5 with ActionScript files (.as) without requiring Flash in a browser?
For example, DW CS5 menus include File -> New ... -> ActionScript,
but I cannot find literature or examples on using .as with Dreamweaver.
thanks,
Bruce

ActionScript is the backbone for Flash applications (FLV or SWF).
Unlike HTML & JavaScript, ActionScript is not a web programming language per se. It is a Flash programming language. And while some web devices support Flash many others do not.
If your site cannot use Flash then your ActionScript will need to be replaced with a suitable web alternative. Perhaps jQuery or Ajax (JavaScript & CSS).

Open URL in a target div

I need some actionscript help.
I have a DIV with an iframe inserted into it on my webpage. I
am trying to get my flash button to open a URL within that iframe
without refreshing the entire page. Is there a way to accomplish
this? Here are some details about my HTML and Actionscript:
HTML:
<div id="graynav"><iframe src="gravnav.html"
name="secondarylinks" width"175" height"349" frameborder="0"
scrolling=no"></div>
Actionscript:
button1.onRelease = firstlink;
function firstlink() {
getURL("graynav.html", "secondarylinks")
Do I need to specify the target in a different way? Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

try using an id in your iframe and targeting that id in
getURL().

LoadMovie in as2

hi everybody
i am working in as2 under flash cs3 aon windows xp
i develop an audio player which can play dynamic audio files
of two formats "mp3" and "swf" from remote servers..
The issue is when i embed the player in html and make it live
to access through the internet..
it plays mp3 files without any issue but it cannot play swf
files from one specific server and it can play swf files from other
remote servers, the problem is really very strange since it works
fine on linux OS but not on windows.
and secondly when i hardcode the address of that specific
server which passed from html in actionscript and then i press
control+enter it plays the swf sound. but when i publish it with
hardcoded url in it and play the html file it doesnt play the
sound...
i try System.security.allowDomain("that specific server url")
and even i try System.security.allowDomain("*") but it doesnt
solve the problem.
i am unable to figureout the problem ..
plz help..
thanks

hi
actually mp3 audio file from same server working fine.
and swf audio file from same server plays only when i
hardcode the url in flash code and play it via ctrl+Enter and when
i publish it, then it doesnt works for me. so if it is still a
security issue then i also try crossdomain policy file and also use
System.security.allowDomain("www.servername.com")
so what can be the other possible option to cope down this
issue?
thanks

Size of video unreadable on screen

I am trying to view videos from Rivals.go Pantherlair. The video is so enlarged that it fills the entire screen and the video is not viewable.

Ctrl-0 (zero - not "O") will reset the zoom settings for the browser.
Outside of that there's nothing Flash Player can do, because it only plays content based on the HTML and Actionscript of the pages you visit.

Links in .swf blocked?

Hi!
I am designing a website in dreamweaver. I designed a banner and navigation bar in flash. (CS3)
My problem is that while the banner and nav bar work fine when previewed in flash, once I put them into dreamweaver and preview the site in my broswer the links do not work and I get this message:
For the time being the links go to google dot com. It doesnt seem to be a browser issue or an issue with my flash player settings.
Googling the problem gave me this: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/links-swf-files-dont-function.html
Basically, it is telling me I need to "allowscriptaccess = always" or tell the "navigateToURL to use "_blank" as the target" in the .swf. However, I would like the link to open on the same window/tab in the browser so I would prefer not doing it the "_blank" way.
I am more of a designer and new to coding in html and actionscript.
I have tried the method described in the Adobe help site but I must be doing it wrong.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
This is the Flash Player Security Warning that gets thrown when a local content is trying to communicate with the Internet. This is being done to protect you from potentially harmful content that could be used to send sensitive information stored on your computer or local network to locations on the Internet. However you can allow such contents to communicate with the Internet by trusting your local file/application and add the local file(s)/file location(s) to the Flash Player Settings Manager trusted list.
Please follow the detailed instructions posted at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/communicate-internet-flash-content.html to add your local content(s) to the list of trusted files and you may also want to set to 'Always allow' to avoid the warning once for all.
Let us know if this is of any help to you.
Thanks!

Building a joel grimes look a like flash website

ok, so I'm very well versed in photoshop and know a tiny html and get by in most cases by google searches for html an actionscript. I want to emulate this website's photogallery and home page.... http://www.joelgrimes.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=12191&Akey=P7FJP8B4 .
First of all, I am very computer savy. Point me in the right direction and I can normally make it work when it comes to software, electronics, etc. I have the patience to sit down and learn flash through lydia.com if I have to. Is it flash I want to be concentrating on? I have the entire adobe cs5 suite at my disposal. Should I use flash builder...can I get away with photoshop and then use flash catalyst? I don't want to waste time learning the wrong software. Please help. Thanks in advance. My website is here... http://www.nakean.com

From your description, it sounds like your main timeline has
more than
one frame, and that your logo animation is on that main
timeline.
Try this: Take the logo animation and put it into a
movieClip. You
should only need one cycle of the animation. Place an
instance of that
movieClip on the main timeline and extend the layer to the
last frame in
the main timeline.
Remove the original logo animation from the main timeline.
When you test the movie, you should see your logo animation
play
regardless of what the main timeline's playback head is
doing.

Special characters and RichTextEditor

Using my RichTextEditor to upload text via PHP into MySql.
Works fine at home on my test server, but on the remote server
special characters (copied and pasted via windows special
characters panel) like a ū will only show as a question mark.
I tried php functions like htmlspecialchars etc, but to no avail.
the database is coded in utf-8, just as my html and actionscript.
how can I solve this problem?

depends what you want to do, but you can use the alt + codes like alt-0151 for em dash, etc... You can find tables online.

If anyone can help that would be brilliant.

I can't pinpoint where data.label derives from, but at first
glance I'd say the problem might be between the following sets of
lines...
desc.text = data.label;
desc.setTextFormat(textStyle);
info.text = data.label;
info.setTextFormat(textStyle);

HTML swap image command from Flash Actionscript

Is there a way within Flash, with actionscript, to make an
image swap on an html page? Help!

yes it is posible.
set img id for the image in your html, e.g: Image1
<img id="Image1" src="pic01.jpg" width="100" height="100"
alt="" />
lets say you have a button, when click on it, it swap Image1
to pic02.jpg
on(press){
getURL("javascript:MM_swapImage('Image1','','pic02.jpg',1)")
and another button, when click on it, restore original image,
on(press){
getURL("javascript:MM_swapImgRestore()")
and the most important thing, add script below in your html
head tag
