Creating Hyperlink for Flash Movie

Hi Guys
I have just created a flash movie. I have inserted the flash
into dreamweaver and when somebody clicks on the movie I want it to
take them to a certain page. If possible could I send you the .fla
file and you can send it back with it all linked up as I have been
getting annoyed with this all morning.
Thanks

Okay.

Easy enough, once you know how to proceed. :)

It's possible, sure -- but that goes agains the grain (and
benefit) of
why these forums are here. A dozen other people may have a
question similar
to yours, and by participating in a public conversation about
it -- and also
working it through publicly -- you not only learn a knew
skill, but
onlookers can learn it as well.
If you want the whole Flash movie to respond to a click, you
can either
create a so-called invisible button that matches the
dimensions of the whole
movie, then set that above all other layers, or you can code
your movie to
respond to mouse clicks globally.
The invisible button approach usually seems easier to
newcomers, but
neither techniques is especially difficult. What version of
the Flash
Player are you publishing to? (Most importantly, what version
of
ActionScript?)

How to create hyperlink for the messages in oneorder documents

Hi ,
I want to create hyperlink for the error messages that are raised for a payment request, so that i can navigate to that particular object ID mentioned in the message.

Hi Paparao,
But we can find the same functionality for trade promotions overlap, the messages raised when two or more tradepromotions overlap, provide us with hyperlink through which we can navigate to that particular object id.

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.

Create hyperlink for reply to in mail body while sending email.

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we need to create an hyperlink for reply to in the mail body.
We have implemented entire functionality using CL_BCS classes and everything is working fine.
Only problem we have is when we give document type as HTM instead of RAW then entire formatting of mail body gets disturbed although we get the hyperlink.
Is there any way where we can send the mail in html format using CL_BCS,CL_DOCUMENT_BCS ?
KR Jaideep,

Hi ,
Please find the code below I am using to make the hyperlink. Do I need to fill the entire mail body using HTML Tags ? If yes, then I guess it will increase the complexity of program as the mail content will vary from one mail to another depending upon whether different invoice documents have text maintained in them.
lwa_text = '<html>'.
    APPEND lwa_text TO li_text.
    CLEAR lwa_text.
    lwa_text = '<body>'.
    APPEND lwa_text TO li_text.
    CLEAR lwa_text.
    lwa_text = text-012.
    APPEND lwa_text TO li_text.
    CLEAR lwa_text.
    CONCATENATE '<a href="mailto:'
                lv_receiver
                '">'
                lv_receiver
                '</a>'
           INTO lwa_text.
    APPEND lwa_text TO li_text.
    CLEAR lwa_text.
    lwa_text = '</body>'.
    APPEND lwa_text TO li_text.
    CLEAR lwa_text.
    lwa_text = '</html>'.
    APPEND lwa_text TO li_text.
    CLEAR lwa_text.
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD cl_document_bcs=>create_from_text
          EXPORTING
            i_text         = li_text
            i_documenttype = 'HTM'
            i_subject      = 'Test for hyperlink'
            i_importance   = '1'
            i_sensitivity = 'P'
          RECEIVING
            result         = lref_document_bcs.
      CATCH cx_document_bcs .
    ENDTRY.

Title for Flash movie (Swf file)

Hi
I want to add any title for my flash movie, As we can add any
title in HTML page with "title tag".
Usually the file name of flash file show as title like
"abc.swf"
but i want here another title like " Welcome to my xyz"
anything else....
Can anybody help me getting its solution....

Wishing to do the same thing, I've explored this with Macromedia. It appears to be a licensing problem for the Flash 5 engine. Macromedia wants a commitment of several thousand dollars (like close to 6 figures) to license the engine for an application. That's for a single applicaiton, and not a generic toolkit like JMF. I assume Sun found the same thing and balked, understandably.

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!

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.

Narration for Flash movie

I am trying to record a narration for a Flash movie and I can't get it done with GB. I'm thinking this is because I'm a new Mac user. Any suggestions how I might do this. Flash can import audio files in AIFF, WAV and MP3.

If you delete or hide the PodCast track, what you "Share to iTUnes" will be an AIFF file.

Export for flash-movie file conversion.

I want to prepare files for the highest quality possible for conversion to flash-movie files. I recorded in HDV- edited in HDV- send to Color in HDV- and now my question is if I should send it to FCP from Color in 10 bit-uncompressed to keep the highest quality?
Also at the end exporting from FCP- should I change my sequence settings? Again I need the very highest quality for later conversion to a flash-movie file, and was told that uncompressed is the way to go??
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks- Adam.

"Keeping" the quality isn't really the issue-- if you're working in HDV, there's nothing to gain by going to Uncompressed, because you weren't working in Uncompressed in the first place. The exception to this is color grading and graphics: ideally, you would be working in a higher quality sequence such as ProRes (Uncompressed is probably overkill) in both FCP and Color.
Of course, I can't honestly say that any of this will make a difference in a Flash movie-- Flash is for web delivery, and to bring it down to a bitrate suitable for the web, you'll likely lose anything you might have gained from this process.

Creating menu for authored movies

Hi all,
I want to create a new menu for a movie. The problem is that the movie is already in a TS folder, and I don't know how to link the menu (play button) to the movie in the TS folder (iDVD won't accept vob files). Is this possible in iDVD or any dvd editor?
Thanks in advance,
-Greg

Hi Greg,
My problem is not with authoring the movie however, it's that I don't understand how to add a menu to an already authored movie.
Since iDVD can't open an already authored movie, I know that it's impossible to finish it all within iDVD, but I like the menu editor in iDVD, and was hoping there was a way to create a dvd menu and then link it to an authored movie (by changing the scripting).As I said, iDVD cannot do what you described. Toast 7 Tatinium can. The VIDEO_TS already has the menu script and the encoded movie together. iDVD cannot take them apart and re-piece with a different menu script. Toast can take the main movie part and piece it with Toast's menu.

Creating Video for Flash 7 in CS3

I have a client base that has Flash Version 7 (don't know why
they dont upgrade but I was told I had to work with Flash 7 as a
standard)
I am trying to publish a Flash video (.flv file) to run on
Flash 7 or above using CS3. Would anyone have any step by step
instructions on how to accomplish this? I am using the Mac version
of CS3. When I tried to do it, the video would not play in 7 and
would ask me to load Version 9.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

hmm.. stupid me..
You can't use the FLVPlayback for Flash 7 since it wasn't
available at that time. you need to use the MediaDisplay or create
your own player using a videobject. As far as I remember the video
object was already available at that time. If you don't know how to
create a videoplayer using the videoobject you can have a look at
this tutorial I've wrote a while ago.

Creating thubnails for Quicktime .mov files.

Is there any way to create thumbnails for .mov files?

1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
2] If its only happening in your account:
Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
3] If its happening for all users then try:
Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Let us know if you still have trouble.

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();
}

Creating Artifacts for "old Movie" look

I'm trying to create a symbol that will go over a silver screen in a project i'm working on. The symbol I want to repeat over and over and create an artifact look. Like how in the old moves you would sometimes get those lines on the sides or splotches.
I've tried doing a mask (So that only a certian amount of space is visable.) but it jsut flashed black and white.

Also, and I know I'm going to get flac for mentioning this, Matrox has a pretty good "Old Movie" effect. We've got the RT.X2 card and I used the effect for some footage a client needed for a Western-themed event. It let you control the amount of dust and scratches, the jitter effect and the grainness as well as making it pure black and white or sepia colored.
If you're looking for a free method, you can create the effect manually using After Effects, but it takes some effort. I'm pretty sure there are some tutorials out there to show you how to do it.
Take a look at this:
