Adding a "Digg this Story" button to a Flash movie?

Is there a way to add a live Digg submnit button/counter to a
Flash movie? Or can this only be done in HTML?

Or you could go into flash and add a layer, move it to the
top. On that layer make a rectangle with no fill. Select the
rectangle, and go to the info window. Make the rectangle go to 0,0
(top left) and change the size to the size of the movie. Now your
movie will have a border that you can control, edit, or add effects
to it. Make sure that you add a frame to that layer at the end of
the movie so that the border is on every frame.

  • This application requires an Xtra (Flash Movie...)

    Director 10.1.1
    I have a .dir which has an imported .swf file in it The .swf
    is Flash 8
    The .swf plays fine is authoring mode and even when it is
    published as a .exe.
    The problem is the .dxr file. When protected, I get the
    following error message:
    "This application requires an Xtra (Flash Movie...) that
    either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make
    sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder(s)."
    My xtras are up to date (I think) and include the "flash
    asset" xtra.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks...sean

    Thanks Mark.
    I acutally didn't do the full update to 10.1.1.
    I was still at 10.1 and needed to recreate the launcher and
    for whatever reason (nube) that fixed the issue.
    Cheers.

  • Adding a Print button to a Flash movie

    Hi. I've created a Flash movie and now want to add a simple
    print button to it - one that will just bring up the users default
    print dialog box.
    I've created a new layer, highlighted the first frame and
    dragged a print button in from the library.
    When I press F9 to bring up the Actions pane, selected the
    Print section all that comes up is print(). Can somebody tell me
    what other code I need to add? I'm pretty new to Flash but getting
    there, but the ActionScript is baffling me - I'm a designer, not a
    developer!
    Many thanks.

    If Flash 8, try looking into the printAsBitmap function. It
    might be what you are looking for.
    For AS 3.0, try the PrintJob class.

  • How do I change a name of a button in a Flash movie?

    Hello everybody,
    I'm newbie with Flash and I have a problem.
    I have a flash movie, which I want to use as a header for a website. When I play the movie, I have 5 different buttons on it. When I open through Flash the .fla file it shows me that there is one button copied 5 times.
    How do I change the name in one of the buttons in the movie, I want when I play the movie, to have a different name on the button, but I don't understand from where do I change the name, if all the buttons I have in the .fla file has the About me name, I suggest the name is the same because all the buttons does the same effect when you go over them.
    I would appreciate some help!

    I'm assuming you mean you want to change the label that displays on the button when you run the file.  Flash allows for a variety of ways to approach a design, so there is no ready-made answer.  If all of the buttons appear to be the same in the fla file, then chances are they are getting their labels from actionscript code.
    What you probably need to do is look thru the actionscript code that might be in the first frame or so of the timeline.  You can identify frames containing actionscript because they what appears to be a lower case "a" in them.  If you click on such a frame and open the Actions window, you will see the actionscript code.  Look for any code that has the button labels you see when you run the file.
    You might also have some other file(s) that came with the fla, such as an .as file or a .xml file.  If so, you may need to look in these files also.

  • Urgent: How to export a Director cast member - in this case it's a flash movie?

    Hi there,
    I've got a problem - of course, that's why I'm here.
    My problem is that in my Director (version 11.5) movie a flash movie is member of the cast list (sorry, I only know the German terms and hope totranslate correctly!). In it's properties there's no source-URL. So it must be "in" the Director film somehow.
    Unfortunately the original file went lost. Now I need to have this flash movie as a flash movie, not as a member/ cast. Is there any possibility to get the movie out of Director als a file?
    Thanks so much for your help!
    Kind regards
    Jana

    Hi Sean,
    thanks for that hint! I downloaded and extracted the Xtra into the Director Xtra folder. Then I tried to use the function "exportSWF", but it told me the handler is undefined.
    Unfortunately I'm a real Lingo beginner and don't know anything about Xtra usage.
    I used the following code: 
    m = member("Player")
    exportSWF( m, "/output.swf", TRUE )
    I'm sure that line 1 gives me the flash movie as a member, because it is used like that in the code already.
    I thought with the Xtra I can simply use the exportSWF-funcion. What else is to do to use it??
    Thanks in advance!
    Jana

  • Still no solution to adding a 'close this window' button to a page

    Hi can anyone help please with this problem? I have used the following html in snippets
    <form>
    <input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
    </form>
    which shows a button but it does not close the window in all browsers e.g. not in Safari beta or firefox.
    Thanks in anticipation
    Jimbob

    Where do you see the target='_top"? I went looking for the original button from my original post which was in the http://web.me.com/toad.hall/HelperSite//Page1_files/widget3markup.html page via the Activity window and view source and this is what the code of that widget page is:
    <xmp>
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title></title></head><body><form>
    <input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
    </form> </body></html>
    </xmp> (Ignore the <xmp></xmp> tags when using)
    I don't see the target='_top" in there. What am I missing? This was my first post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9134142#9134142.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Buttons do not function after Flash Movie

    I have a page with a number of buttons and a couple of flash
    "list" components. One of these lists, gives the user an option to
    select one of two modules and then navigates to a marker where a
    flash movie plays. When the user exits the flash movie. This is
    done via and exit button in the flash movie itself they returnt to
    the page where they started. After navigating to that page
    following the flash movie many but not all of the buttons are no
    longer functional, e.g they do not receive mouseEnters etc.

    Are the buttons in question Director buttons or Flash
    buttons? In either case, is the code for these buttons in a
    behavior that is attached to each button? Is there any part of this
    code that disables the button?

  • Back button & Replay button for Flash movie on website

    Three questions all related:
    1. I need to add a "Back"  and a "Replay" button to a Flash movie that plays full screen when the link is clicked on a website. I have created the two buttons and placed them on the stage. I've given them the names back_btn and play_btn. I've tried several scripts from postings on the Forum for the replay button but all of them come up with errors such as, "1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton" when I use this script:
    stop();
    play_btn.onRelease = function()
    play();
    I also tried this script:
    stop();
    play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
    function playMovie(event)
    play();
    It didn't report any errors, but it didn't work.
    2. I saw a posting that said one needs to name the movie clip and reference it in the script. Would this be the file name of the movie after it is exported? I am unclear on this.
    3. For the "Back" button, would I include the whole url to get the viewers back to the previous page or is there a shortcut way to get them back there?
    If you can help, please provide detailed script as I do not know Action script.
    Thank you,
    Marilyn

    Hi, Ned:
    I have a presentation completed that is already up  on a website and now I need the "Back" button and "Replay" button, so whether I'm ready or not, I have to find a solution. I know I'm missing some important step. I have Lynda.com and I can usually figure out what's wrong with the lessons on there, but this one has me stumped.
    I did try the code change you sent and I was unable to get the movie to replay. I'm attaching two screen shots so you'll see that I did have the button instance named properly and the Action Script correctly written. You can "Ctrl" "Scroll" to enlarge the images on your screen.

  • How Do I Execute An exe or an msi Install file From a Button in Flash Movie

    Issue:
    I have a flash movie that runs as a standalone player on a
    Demo CD... I also have an install msi file(same as an exe) that
    when the user is done viewing the flash movie they can click on a
    menu button in the flash movie that executes the msi or exe located
    on the root of the CD which starts the install process.
    Question: What is the action script (FOR FLASH 8) that i
    apply to the button that will initiate or call the MSI or exe
    install file.
    Anyhelp would be great... even a link to an example... or
    anything... thanks
    Thanks in advance...

    fscommand("exec","myexe.exe");
    Should run the program myexe.exe inside a directory called
    fscommand
    which must be a subdirectory of whereever your projector is
    located.
    In windows:I know you can run .bat files with fscommand. But
    I'm not sure about msi files.
    You can often get around the limitations by having a .bat
    file that will a) show a cmd window briefly and b) do the thing
    that you couldn't do from flash.
    If running the msi doesn't work from flash directly you may
    want to try using a bat file...
    There's some information here.

    Is there a way of adding a actionlistner to the

    non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a
    static contextIt has nothing to do with ActionListeners. Somewhere you're trying to access an object variable without a reference to any object, from the static context.
    You know, being able to search for information is actually a good skill for programmers to have. You might want to acquire it, too.

  • I can no longer see or manage my music when my ipod is connected to itunes.  The "on this ipod" button is no longer an option in my toolbar.  How do I fix this?

    After my last itunes update there is no longer a button in the tool bar for me to view what is on my ipod.  I can see screens that allow me to sync but I can't see any of the content, which means I can't add or delete anything without doing a full sync.  I have always had my ipod set to manually manage my music because I don't want my entire library on my ipod (I also don't think it would fit).  I don't want to have to restore my ipod as I have spent a lot of time setting up playlists that I use for work that aren't in my main library.  What happened to the "on this ipod" button that was in the tool bar a week and a half ago?  Is there a new route to get to view my ipod content?  I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out and now I'm just getting angry.  I buy apple products because they are supposed to be straight forward and easy to use... is this changing?

    Go to the View menu and turn on the Status Bar. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
