Need help using flash buttons

Can anyone help me with flash buttons? I am trying to build
my first website, and my five flash buttons (inside a 5 col. table)
for page navigation work fine in testing all 5 web pages with
mozilla firefox, and they look the same on the index page when
testing with IE-7. However when I begin navigating to other pages
in IE-7, the flash buttons disappear, and the 5 cols in the table
where each flash button was placed now are not equal sizes anymore
like they are on the index page. In my files area on the right, I
notice 3 out of the five buttons I created have about 15 to 20
"generations" shown there, with numbers 1 through 15 or even more
to qualify them tacked on to the end of the names. Where do these
come from, and why are 2 out of the five only have 1 "generation"
each? I never expected this, and I think it has something to do
with the problem, but maybe not. Please help me if you can!

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
Your problem is caused by navigating away from the previewed
page. In
general, this is not a good thing to do, since root relative
links will not
work as expected when you do that (locally).

  • Need help for flash builder

    i need help for flash builder 4 and papervison 3d. I need to create a slider with it ranges of value from 10 to 50 to adjust the camera values for the camera.fov and also need to create it for the yaw of the object from 0 to 360. I try to look for any slider event and classes in this program but cant find any, btw, i need to use the AS only project file.
    here is my codes:
    can you please tell me how i should modify the codes?
    package
        import flash.display.BitmapData;
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.events.Event;
        import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;
        import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
        import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
        import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;
        [SWF (width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="0x000000",frameRate="30")]
        public class EarthBitmap extends BasicView
            private var sphere:Sphere;
            public function EarthBitmap()
                super(800 , 600);
                var earthmaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial("../assets/Earth.jpg");
                sphere = new Sphere(earthmaterial,100,20,18);
                camera.fov = 25;
                scene.addChild(sphere);
                addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSphere);
            public function rotateSphere(evt:Event):void
                sphere.yaw(0.2);
                singleRender();

    Turn the click handler into a full on separate function. Then store all the views in an array and use Math.rand() to randomly choose one.
    Something like this:
    <fx:Script>
         <![CDATA[
              var questionsArray:Array = {question2,question3,question5,questionRed,questionGeography};
              function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent){
                   var randomProblem:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*(questionsArray.length));     //generates a random integer between 0 and the total number of questions in the array (arrays are 0-based)
                   navigator.pushView(questionsArray[randomProblem]);
         ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Button id="randomProblemButton" label="Next Problem" click="buttonClickHandler(event)" />
    Haven't tested that, but something along that line should work

    you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
    DOWN state after
    release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
    lives the HIT zone.
    Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
    where there
    is DOWN state like image.

  • Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working.

  • I need help installing flash on windows 8

    I need help installing flash on windows 8

    Chris… No I was using the desktop version, I cannot stand the M version, guess it would be nice if I had  a touch screen..…when I finally got my computer to download the Acrobat Standard XI program, not sure how it worked, but I think it had something to do with Windows 8 not allowing itself to update all my apps and programs, even though my computer was set to automatically update any Windows/Microsoft updates…finally I got my Windows updates done, it downloaded like 36 files…and then I had to restart,(which also could have been playing a factor)…so finally got the program downloaded on Windows 8…but then I tried to run the new program and it says install serial #...so I assume that it was asking for the serial # for the Acrobat Standard XI…finally after googling the web, I found somebody that said try your older serial # from the previous program, and when I did this it finally works.. you would think with a brand new Windows computer I would have no problem installing Windows Updates…somebody needs to make a sticky about this, I am sure I am not the only one haiving this problem..
    Thanks,

  • Help! Flash Button Troubles

    O.K., Hello again everyone got yet another rookie question so
    hopefuly y'all have the answer... I am using Dreamweaver MX and
    using the preset Flash Buttons that come with it the "slider"
    button in particular now I have edited this button and specified a
    link (photoshop.htm) coming from (index.htm) but when I upload the
    files to the server and try to test it, my index.htm comes up and
    is perefect but the button will not link when clicked, it does
    everything it is supposed to except take me to another page. I
    inspected the code and saw no reference to the page it is to link
    to, so attched is the code for y'all to see. Pleez HELP!
    -P.S.- also with these buttons I must click to activate them
    is there a way around having to click on them before they will
    animate?
    .

    Don't use Flash buttons. That answer is simple! 8)
    There are several really good reasons not to use them -
    1. They are inaccessible
    2. They can't be spidered
    3. They aren't usable by those who don't have Flash
    installed.

  • I need help duplicating a button

    I have a button that I often have to put on forms, so I have a pdf with nothing but that button in it. Whenever I need to use the button I open the pdf, go into my forms tools, edit the form, copy the button, and then paste it into the pdf that needs the button. I'm looking for a way to streamline the process by using an action. My idea is that I can insert my button pdf as the first page of any other pdf, move the button from page 1 to page 2 (or duplicate it on to page 2), then delete page 1 leaving just my form with the button.
    The problem I'm running into is that I can't find any way of moving, or duplicating my button on to page 2. I assumed I could do it with a script, but I haven't been able to get it done. I don't think creating a new button with a script will work since my button has about 350 lines of script already attached to it, as well as specialty images when rolled-over and pressed (though if there's a way to maintain those attributes I'm happy to try).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I appreciate the help. Because of the replies I received, I assume that I can't just move the button from one page to another, so I'm proceeding with your suggestion try67, and this is where I'm at:
    My action now inserts my button page in the form, uses a script to get the icons from that button, and deletes the button page. The script also creates a new button on the first page of the form and sets up the button properties.
    The problem I'm facing now is getting the javascript from my original button into the new button.
    My current solution is to copy the original button's javascipt and paste it into my action's javascript. I wrap that script in a function called "buttonFunction" and then use the following code snippet in my action javascript:
    function buttonFunction()
    //about 350 lines of code
    f.setAction("MouseUp","buttonFunction()");
    I'm hoping there's a way to get the 350 lines of code into my newly created button without having that code written into my action script. Is it possible to copy my original button's javascript into a variable, then using that variable instead of buttonFunction()?
    I'm hoping for something like:
    var myScript = g.getAction("MouseUp");
    f.setAction("MouseUp",myScript);
    If you have any ideas, I would appreciate the help.

    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

  • Help with flash buttons please

    hi i wondered if anyone could take a look at this for me
    please?
    http://beechhouse.yorkwebsites.co.uk
    why is it in explorer you have to click the button to
    activate it and then click it again to go to the page? and how can
    i fix this please?

    It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
    earlier this
    year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
    Quicktime etc)
    is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

    See also
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/
    If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2, the fix is already built
    into DW's

  • I need helping using iAds in my application.

    I need helping using iAds in my application. I currently am not using any storyboards. I am using Sprite builder for my UI.
    I attatched an image ot show all the different file name I have.
    Everyone is being used & they all work fully.
    The "iAdViewController.h & .m" files are just example codes I looked up and was messing with so that my iAd can work.

    I wouldn't even be able to use the Mathscript node in an executable? 
    What I am trying to do is make a user configurable data stream. 
    They tell me how many bytes are in the stream and what parameters they
    want to be put in to it.  Currently I have to make vi's that are
    called dynamicaly to make the parameters.   Then recompile
    the code and send it to them.  This is somewhat of how the config
    file is set up so I know how to make the data.
    Data_Type  foo
    Bytes 30
    parameter_name        
    function           
       byte#          format
    sync              
    foo_sync            
    29               int
    time                              
    foo_time             
    1,2,3,4       double
    If I can't use MathScript to allow the user to make there own functions
    is there another way that I might be able to do this so I do not have
    to recompile the code atleast?  Were I might just be able to make
    the new function and send that to them.
    Any Idea would be great.

  • Help my Flash Buttons

    I'm using flash buttons in my web site. In lieu of underlined
    text. Well they work fine in the development tool but when i put
    them on my site they don't work at all????? What could the problem
    be????Tried different directories still dont work????
    Mitch

    > what would you suggest in lie of the flash buttons
    Graphics (GIF/JPG/PNG), or CSS-styled text.
    > why are they on ly on hobby sites????
    Because -
    1. Those who don't have the Flash plugin installed will not
    see the link.
    2. Those who require screen assistive devices will not see
    the link.
    3. Search engine spiders will not see the link (so your site
    will not be
    indexed).
    4. If you move or rename a file to which this button is
    linked, the link in
    the button will not be automatically updated to reflect the
    change you just
    made.
    5. They look creepy.
    6. I can't remember this one.
    7. It's a maintenance problem for you (I just added this so
    the list would
    look longer).
    Do those work?

  • Still need help with flash player download

    I'm still having a problem with the flash player, please read my last post below:
    "I've tried everything here & still can't download the flash player. Anytime I try to download it asks me to install ADM add-on and then when I click on that, my computer freezes. How do I enable this add-on without my computer freezing? Can anyone help pls?"

    Thanks a lot for your help, it is truly appreciated.

    You can set Flash Player to check for updates on the Global Settings Manager panel:
