Browser buttons for flash

Is there a reliable way / workaround to get the browser buttons (meaning the back and forward arrows) to work on an all flash website (
I have Dreamweaver CS4 if that helps)?
I'd been directed to SWFAddress a few months ago, but I couldn't get that working even after digging around on the Asual site and elsewhere for instructions on how to integrate this deep linking feature.
Thanks for any recommendations.

Nevermind... I found out his Flash Player was WIN 9,0,47,0
while everyone else is WIN 9,0,124,0 . He upgraded & it is
working.

How to make a fullscreen button for Flash Catalyst?

Hey everyone. I really hope someone can help me with this. How can I make a fullscreen button in Flash Professional that would make my Flash Catalyst project go fullscreen?

I'm sorry I really don't know Flash Catalyst as much as I'd like to. Designing interfaces is left up to me, no designers at my agency use Catalyst. Though this is the Flash forum so that's as much as I can tell you. I didn't know Catalyst didn't support basic scripts (I thought I read that it did).
Ultimately, for a very cheap price you can do something like go to http://www.lynda.com/ and buy a membership. Dirt cheap compared to what you get. They offer many courses on all this stuff and I'm sure your answer would lie in one of the (nicely broken up by subject) video training videos.
Just searching for Catalyst brings up a bunch of courses:
http://www.lynda.com/search?q=catalyst&x=0&y=0
edit:
For instance I watched the essential CS5.5 training and I saw in 2 minutes flat that when you click on a button you should have an "Interactions" panel that lets you do things. If they didn't put fullscreen as an interaction that's another thing but I'm just pointing out it's very easy to learn how to do all sorts of things in video training. If you do not want to purchase a membership there just find a video you think would have the info in it and I'll watch it and let you know if it told me how to do it, and how to do it.

After I have migrated a 'master' profile into another, the browse button (for a download location) in Options, General doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this?

Hi Supporters,
I've been struggling with this some time (downloading / saving problems) and tried all kinds of variations. But I'll keep it simple for now.
As a test .. I've just created a fresh firefox profile. Checked out if could change the download location, through the Browse button, and indeed that worked. I got an explorer dialog to choose a folder.
Normally I would do the options, manage the search engines, do some layout stuff etc etc in order to get some 'baseline / master' profile I can evolve further into other more extended profiles. So you see this master profile will get copied into another one.
But, having copied that fresh profile (having done nothing yet) into another seems to disable choosing another download folder. The Browse button in Options > General does not work anymore.
There's more. If I browse to, say, C:\ as default download location but then enable 'ask me where to save ..' in the fresh profile and then copy this profile to another one .. if I then want to change the download location (which shows C:) it jumps to Desktop and again the Browse button won't work.
This is driving me mad. Any ideas? Sorry for the long story, hope it helps.

Hi guys,
@cor-el: getting rid of not needed parts is what I always do. Besides prefs and localstore, only the search-metadata and permissions / signons are passed along. Oh, forgot to mention the mimetypes.
No, my point is why is FF looking for those folders when there's no mentioning of these to be found in my options? Not even in de about:config ... When I state C:\ as my downloads location it's absurd to check any other folder first, which FF seems to do before giving me an explorer window showing .. C:\ as a starting point. Like my unrestricted laptop does.
@jscher2000: Even if there are pointers to those default folders, FF should not be checking those. When I state C: I mean C: (see my answer above).
No, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone knows a way to stop that folder checking. And to be honest, the not working Browse button is the least of my problems (I use: ask everytime where). No it's the saving that is the problem. But I guess the underlying problem is the same. Saving / downloading, what's in a name ..
Guys, thanks for your help ! I can't fix a bug so I'm going to let it be. I'll rebuild my master and will keep checking of saving a website becomes a problem somewhere. Mind you, the solutions offered in kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files didn't work.
Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

Browse button for selecting directory

Hello All,
I need to put a browse button in my jsp so that the user can select the directory where a file can be saved.
How do I put this?
<INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="fffile">
This just gives me a open dialog.
I need one which will give me the directory selected in the text box.
Thanks in advance,
Arun

You can't. If you provide a link to a file, then when the browser gets that file, then it may prompt the user to save it or open it, depending on the file type, the browser's capabilities and the browser's settings.
If you want to force a file to be downloaded, you can do one of two things:
1) Tell the user to hold the shift key down when clicking a link, which prompts to "save link as..."
2) Use a script or servlet or something to get the file for the link clicked on and change the headers to include:
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=theFileName.ext
which should also for the browser to save the file.
But there's no way to select a directory to save in before hand.

Slow load of browse button for Add Folder Link

When our user adds a folder link and clicks the browse button the window loads extreamly slow. When admin privileges are applied it loads quickly, but with the standard group permissions that window loads terribly slow. I have a feeling it is realated to Portal checking permissions as it maps out the content area. Has anyone experienced this behavior and possibly found a solution to speed things up? Thanks!

Olney,
3.0.9.8.2 has a perf. patch. Check Metalink->Patches->Internet Products->Portal->
queries on wwsec_sys_priv are very expensive.
You need to use wwsbr_stats.gather_stats

Browser scrollbar for Flash movie?

The webpage for my Flash movie does not have scrollbars. On
most of the frames (I did each site page as a named frame in a
single timeline) it doesn't matter, but there is one frame where
the content stretches the full 900 px tall and you can not scroll
down.
I'm afraid I also have complicated things because the client
said he wanted everything, the whole site, 10% bigger... so I set
the movie width and height as 110% in the HTML. (Suggestions on
this are appreciated, too!)
I'm worried that if I somehow add scrollbars, it will want to
add a horizontal scrollbar to the bottom too.
I was wondering if I could add a Flash scrollbar (if it
worked with scrolling mice, that would be bonus) just on that page,
and have it appear exactly at the right edge of the browser window
and smartly sense how tall to be. Would I have to load it as a
separate movie? Any suggestions are ever so much appreciated!

Playback buttons for flash movie

Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();
For Stop
on (release) {
" Movie".gotoAndStop (1) ;
I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!

First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
}

Radio Buttons for Flash PHP email.

Hi.
I need to add a sign-up form for services to a flash AS2 web site.
I found a very simple example of a Flash/ PHP email form at Kirupa.
It works fine, but I need to add some radio buttons.
My web site will offer various services.
Ideally I would like to be able for viewers to sign up for a service by clicking the appropriate right radio buttons
F.ex;
•   Service 1
•   Service 2
•   Service 3
•   Service 4
The email should reflect the choices made by listing the text on the selected services (radio buttons).
Please download the FLA and the PHP file (at the bottom of the tutorial) here:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm
I have uploaded a working version here:
http://gggraphic.com/flash_mail/simple_flash_mail.php
How do I add and script the radio buttons with both AS and the PHP to make it happen?
Thank you on beforehand for your help
ggaarde

Hi Again
Maybe check buttons would be a more natural option for this. You should be able to select more than one service.
Thanks

Browse Button for PHP Include Object

Once an Include is inserted into the page is there a way to
browse for the needed include file or do I have to hand type the
path and file name?
Thanks.

The argument passed to include() must be a string. If you do
this:
include(myfile.php);
you'll get just a question mark in the Property inspector,
and the
include won't work correctly.
If you do this:
include('myfile.php');
You should see the Edit button. Moreover, the include will
work correctly.

Browser settings for Flash Forms?

I have set up a site using Flash Forms. It is working for all
of my coworkers except one. He cannot see Flash Forms on any site,
not just the one I created. Are there some browser settings that
need to be set to see Flash Forms? This is happening for him in
both IE & Firefox, though. Also, we are behind a firewall that
blocks Activex, so maybe this has something to do with it, but I
don't know why it would work for everyone else.
Thanks,

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.

Buy Now paypal buttons for flash 8 basic

I just bought these buttons off the web and I am trying to use them. Flash says it cannot open the fla files because they contain screens. What does this mean?

Are you using CS5?
I guess the screens functionality is removed in CS5
http://cs5.org/?p=179
refer to Miscellaneous section, which says--
"Screens functionality is removed. Screens FLA cannot be opened or saved. A new Screens document cannot be created."

Event for browse button for fileupload control

I'm creating an application, where I need to check which file is choosen for the file-upload. Depending on the file upload, 2 other fields will be filled in because the filename is concerning a certain standard.
Can I do this with javascript for example without needing to post my page.
Any help would be most welcome

You can do this with javascript.
var fileName = document.getElementById('fileUploadComponentId').value;
if (fileName.substring(fileName.indexOf('.' + 1)) == 'ext') {
// the extension is "ext".
} else {
// the extension is not "ext".
}

What's the most stable browser for flash?

I play flash games and run several accounts at a time. I use Chrome at the moment, but have issues with it crashing 2+ times per day. What's the most stable browser platform for flash at the moment?
I have the latest updates and upgrades & a 15" MBP that should have plenty of power.

Firefox or Safari, in my opinion. I prefer Firefox, use Safari occasionally, and just have never given Chrome a real chance. I don't like the 'built in' Flash and PDF technology in Chrome.
Give Firefox a try - lots of support for it.
