"option b" will probably be your easiest solution...
using different symbols for each state:
Off - frame 1: off state of your button
Over - frame 2: animated version of your movieclip
Down - frame 3: down state of your button
Hit... etc.

Flash button cursor normal/link

Ok, basically,
I have a flash, with one button in the middle, when the mouse
goes over the button the cursor changes to the link cursor as it
does with any other link/button, however I want the cursor to stay
the same when it hovers over the button, is there any way to do
this?

name the btn (lets say "myBtn1_btn")
add action to time line
myBtn1_btn.useHandCursor = false;

Can Flash Player files contain link to internet URL? please explain

I hope to hear.

Yes, Flash Player files are otherwise known as swf files. Swf files can have actionscript code added to them to link to urls. IN AS2, the command to link to another web page is getURL().

URL link not clickable on APLEX html page

I create a Page, type is HTML Text. I have a Region with template "Reports Region"
In region source, I have text looks similar to :
[td] [a herf="http://yahoo.come"] http://yahoo.com [a][td]
([] means less than and greater then sign )
But after run the page, the url link is not clickable to take me to the website. How can I fix this problem?

You should wrap your code in {noformat} {noformat} tags
Always include the following information when asking a question:
<ul>
<li>Full APEX version</li>
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS</li>
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)</li>
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used</li>
<li>Theme</li>
<li>Template(s)</li>
<li>Region/item type(s)</li>
</ul>

//notice the href typo
<a href="http://yahoo.com">http://yahoo.com</a>

In window.open i am trying to hide the location info in the address bar. However each time i see the URL of target page which gets open in the new window in the location bar.

FF version is 3.6.8
JS used is window.open (g_sServerURL + "/constellationheader/conductor_help/!SSL!/WebHelp/conductor_help.htm", 'popUpWindow','width=800,height=600,left=0,top=0,status=no,toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,titlebar=no');

Perhaps it would be helpful for you to view the page source code of this page
http://www.alanwork.com/
As you can see, the submenu code links are immediately below the top level code, and are
wrapped in their own <UL> </UL> tag pairs.
Hope that helps

Is it possible to stop the same swf button file from having to reload on different html pages

Please view my website below. Any help would be appreciated. Each time you go to another page the buttons flash white while having to reload. Is there any way around this?
http://www.kineticcreativeco.com/

you could also try using the proper bgcolor parameters in your embed code and setting the color to black. this will most likely get rid of the white flash.
here is some old sample code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
     codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
     WIDTH="320"
     HEIGHT="240"
     id="slideshow">
<PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="slideshow.swf" />
<PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high" />
<PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#000000" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<EMBED src="slideshow.swf"
     quality="high"
     bgcolor="#000000"
     WIDTH="320"
     HEIGHT="240"
     NAME="slideshow"
     allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
     swLiveConnect="true"
     TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
     PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
i would recommend: using swfObject instead and also putting all your buttons in one swf.

Flash buttons have to re-load on all html pages

Hi everyone, I have continued to find a resolution and have had no luck. My website has 5 flash buttons (tabs) to take you to a new html page. Each time you go to a page the button seems to have to re-load creating a "white blinking" inside the cell. The background of the fla file is black and I have the table cell background set to black hoping that would help but to no avail. I thought once a swf is loaded it won't have to re-load. The swf files are the same on all pages. Any help would be appreciated.
The website is
http://www.kineticcreativeco.com/

if you embed the same swf in each of your html pages, the swf will load from the user's cache (if they have one). but you'll still see a momentary flash of white.
you can prevent that flash by using iframes and loading your swf into one of the frames and having the swf buttons direct changes to another iframe(s).

Flash button script to control browser window

I would like to open a browser window from a Flash button
which will open my .swf into an html page with specific height and
width with no tool bars just like: the "click here for demo" button
in www.teachingtextbooks.com. It opens a window with no tool bars
and it fits the .swf file perfectly. I see javascript in the html
page that looks like it is part of the script however I am assuming
their is script on the button as well.
Please help.
Thanks,
Green

Thank you for your help on this. I copy and pasted your code
(on the button and I rec'd 2 errors. I copied and pasted here. I
will put the code on the frame if I can get this working.
**Error** Symbol=premier_mc, layer=angelmovie, frame=151:Line
2: ')' or ',' expected
getURL("javascript:YourWindow=window.open("
http://www.google.com",'YourWindow','width=850,height=650,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location =No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
YourWindow.focus(); void(0);");
**Error** Symbol=premier_mc, layer=angelmovie, frame=151:Line
3: Unexpected '}' encountered
Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2
Frame 151 is where the button is and there is only 3 lines of
code in the Action Script panel. Any idea why I am getting the
error. I won't have to add code to the html page?
Thank you.

Flash button problem when scrolling

Hello.
I posted this in Dreamweaver forum as well....just in case.
I am using flash buttons for email links in my web site
rather than html email links to help with spamming.
They work great except for one thing. In my site I have a
fixed Div on the left of my pages. The content scrolls sideways
underneath the fixed div. However....the flash buttons scroll over
the TOP of the fixed div while the rest of the content goes under
as it is supposed to. I have the fixed div set at z-index of 2.
This isn't an issue in Firefox, only IE7, so far.
Any one know of an easy fix for this rather than creating a
new div for each of the buttons?
Here is the link to the problem page - its the email link in
red towards the end of the page. Watch the link go OVER the drums
as you scroll. (it should go under)
http://dev.informarch.com/wm/article3/flashBtnScrollexample.html
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ken

Hello,
Try this and see if it works
In your HTML go to where the <object> tag is that loads
your flash button.
Add this parameter within it.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Then add the following inside the <embed> tag
wmode="transparent"
This is taken from an article from this site

Flash buttons don't appear in browser

I insert a Flash button. It is visible when I preview the
page in a browser that I access from Dreamweaver. But it does not
appear visibly when viewed in a browser independently of
Dreamweaver. A sample of this problem is here:
http://www.newtoncornerneighborhood.org/test.html
I seem, more generally, unable to get any .swf files to
appear visibly using Macintosh Dreamweaver CD3. I did not have this
problem using Dreamweaver MX. Can you help me understand what's
wrong? how to fix this?
Thanks.

> But it does not appear visibly when viewed in a

You mean when you browse to the file LOCALLY and open it with
the browser?
This is what you SHOULD get if you are using root relative
links, since the
browser has no idea where the root of your site is. In this
case, you would
only see that SWF when you browse to it in DW *AND* you have
enabled preview
with temp files.

Dreamweaver, flash button help

hi i am createing a website using dream weaver and my
navigation bar has flash buttons as the links to other pages i have
created, i have the buttons working fine but the users have to
Double click on the button for the next page to be displayed. Is
there away that the users will only have to click the flash button
once for the new page to load up?
i am using Dreamweaver 8, and the code for one of my buttons
is like this
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

</object>
can any one help me with this please

What will happen to those who do not have Flash installed?
What will search
engines (which don't read Flash links) do to spider your
site? What will
screen assistive devices (which don't read Flash links) do to
navigate your
site? What will you do when you move or rename a linked page
(DW cannot
manage the links)?
Most experienced people don't use Flash navigation for these
reasons.
> Double click
It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
last
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

Issue adding Flash Buttons

I'm trying to put flash nav button in a template that I built
for a web site. Within 'Inset Flash Button' under Link: I browse
for the .html page that I want to link the button to. When I'm
finished and click 'OK' I get a error message; this is a site
related Link. Please use either an absolute or document-relative
link.
All the .swf (flash buttons) files are in my Template folder
that also houses my main_elements.dwt file.
What an I doing wrong?
Thanks

Must you use Flash buttons? You can avoid this problem
altogether by using
ordinary graphic buttons or even CSS styled text. Besides,
there are many
disadvantages to the use of Flash navigation -
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...

Firefox Problems with Flash Button alignment

Hey Forums,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3, for a website. For the page I
used a 3 column elastic with header and footer.
On the left sidebar I have four flash buttons, and whenever I
preview the page in Mozilla Firefox, the upmost button for some
reasons aligns to the right. I have no alignment settings set, and
the alignment for the sidebar is set to left. It only happens in
Firefox, not Safari nor Internet Explorer. I attached the code, if
you need anymore info, ask.
