Flash Button as Submit

I have made my own Flash Button and want to use it on a web
page as a submit button. Could someone please tell me how I can do
this? Thanks!

You need a pass a javascript submit command from the flash
movie inside of a
GetURL command. Send me an email offlist and I will find the
exact code for
you.

  • Flash buttons problem

    Hi All,
    I am looking to attach this code to a flash button on click
    <form method="POST">
    <P><Input type="submit" value="table lamp on"
    name="run_event"></P>
    </form>
    the code above sends a command to run an event to my home
    automation server
    thanks in advance

    You cannot apply links to Flash elements using HTML. All
    interactivity in
    such elements MUST be done in Flash Actionscript.

  • Two Form buttons - a "submit" and an "Add Another Record" button

    Hello, any help would be appreciated . I think what I want to do requires a Custom Trigger but am not sure. And if it does, I'm not sure how to do it.
    I've got a form and when the user gets to the point where they want to submit the form, I want need two buttons; a Submit button and an "Add another Record" button.
    The reason is that the form contains two parts; two fields that go into one table (ex. incident and location) and two fields that go into another table (first name and last name). Of course these tables are tied together. I can do that no problem. But if the user wants to enter another person's name, I want the user to click the Add Another Record button and be able to add the second or third name.
    I know that I need a Custom Trigger to carry the original tables ID. What I can't figure out is how to add the additional button next to the Submit button.
    Thanks!

    It is possible you have an add-on popup blocker that is more aggressive than Firefox's standard popup blocker?
    A quick way to see whether one of your extensions is involved is to test these features in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Flash buttons in dreamweaver 8

    Hi,
    i am having a problem with inserting flash button in
    dreamweaver 8, when i insert the buttons it appears on the page as
    a grey box with "F"(flash) and not displaying the proper text. The
    user is a standard windows users and has not administrator
    privilidges. but if an administrator loggs into the pc and does the
    exact same process then the flash button work.
    has anyone come across this problem ? does anyone know how to
    resolve
    cheers
    david

    You'll need to go back into Flash and build the links into the buttons before you create the swf's.  Look in the Flash help docs regarding the getURL function as far as the code you'll need for linking.  If you have problems, post in the Flash AS1 and AS2 forum.
    Beyond that, don't be surprised if some feedback arises here regarding using Flash buttons.

  • Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver

    Hey Everyone
    So i have these Flash buttons on my website(which is done in
    Dreamweaver), and when i go to 'test' the site... the buttons will
    work when the page first loads(Home)... but if i go to click on a
    link, lets say "Contact", the buttons aren't there anymore! And if
    i go back to "Home" they arent there either!!
    Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this
    problem?!
    Thanxs much in advance!!
    -Liz

    >>actually, i do have the OBJECT tags...
    >> but if i go to click on a link, lets say "Contact",
    the buttons aren't
    >> there anymore!
    Do you have the Flash buttons on all web pages was my point.
    In other words,
    did you have the same Flash buttons on the Contact page?
    >>Can someone take a look at my code and see whats
    wrong with it?
    /intro_buttons.swf
    Is the intro_buttons.swf in the web site root folder -- what
    / means? On the
    local drive the / could mean the root folder of the computer
    if you are not
    testing under

  • Flash buttons won't work in Dreamweaver

    Hello,
    I recently watched/read tutorials about how to add Flash buttons into Dreamweaver. I followed the instructions perfectly: insert>media>flash button, and played around with that options. After I clicked ok/apply, though, the only thing that popped uo was a little grey box with the "f" Flash logo inside. It could be resized, but thats it. When I tried previewing it in a browser, all I saw was a little box in the color i had set as the BG color. In the properties window, it says "undefined" next to file. I am using CS3on a macbook, and am a beginner with Dreamweaver. Anybody know why this is happening and how i can fix it?
    -New user

    That's correct. There's no difference. But Flash buttons should be avoided however you make them.
    Use text-based CSS formatted buttons instead.
    Easier to maintain and update and search engines love them.
    Google CSS Buttons and you'll find plenty of tutorials.

  • Dreamweaver Flash Buttons Paths

    Hello all,
    I am a novice site designer. My first challenge is to design a navigation bar once and used by all web pages.  I built it using Flash buttons.  The concept works fine in a flat file, but when I'm viewing a web page that sits in a different directory than the flash navigation buttons, the buttons point to a file in the current directory which doesn't exist. I want the buttons to still point to the flash files in the parent directory.
    I'm using Dreamweaver CS2 to create my flash buttons. I'm using PHP include statements to include my flash navigation bar. When I create the php file in another directory, click on flash button, all heck breaks loose. I look at the URL and the link appends the PHP file that the flash button should be pointing to whatever directory my current web page is in.
    It seems like, I should just create each button  as a absolute path, http://rootdirectory.com/filename.php, but it still uses relative path when I'm looking at web page that sits in another directory and appends the navigation link to the current directory http://rootdirectory.com/currentdirectory/filename.php although it points to a link in the root or parent directory.
    Do I not know how to create flash buttons using the absolute paths?

    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...
    Adding in frames makes it even worse - you are in the deep
    stuff here. Why
    are you using frames?

  • Adobe Captivate Flash Buttons in Moodle

    I am using flash SWF files to control Captivate Course in Moodle and I have trouble with CLOSE pop up window flash button. It works in IE and FIrefox but not in Chrome and OPERA when course is opened via Moodle. I have created simple html page with link that opens pop up window containing the same course and this way the button works in all browsers. ????? Again, in MOOdle it doesn't.
    In Chrome Developer Tools I have tracked this error when clicking on close pop up window flash buttom: Ignoring cross-frame javascript URL load requested by plugin.
    The button itself is using this AS3:
    pbcExit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked);
    function myBtnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()"), "_parent");
    Does anyone have a clue what is the problem?
    Thank you,

  • Adding a url to flash buttons in Dreamweaver

    I have a web site built and I have recently added Flash buttons and I need to add my web pages to the buttons. How would I go about doing this?

    Let's say you create a button symbol.  Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage.  The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name.  So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
    In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it.  You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open.  In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
    The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
    function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
       var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
       var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
       navigateToURL(req);

  • Are There Preset Flash Buttons In Dreamweaver CS4

    I have upgraded from Dreamweaver MX to CS4 and I'm looking for preset flash buttons that I can just insert within dreamweaver and I can't find any.  Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?  I don't know how to create flash buttons just yet and If i need to start the journey of learning how please let me know.  I'm editing a site I created in MX so I want matching buttons and such lol.

    There aren't any flash buttons in DWCS4 anymore see Deprecated features in this link:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS2C41F19D-502B-4fb5-8A54-4442E2127C84a .html

  • No more Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver CS4?

    The removal of Flash button extensions are pretty pathetic.  How much development money and time does it take to include and already existing feature?
    Also, if no one uses them (Ya I was told in a previous post I seen)  The why is Microsoft Expression Web including something sort of like them in their software!
    The removal of these, after I have bought the already overpriced CS4 from CS3, has prompted me to look at other software development tools.
    I been using Dreamweaver since the 1.0 version but now I'm starting to use Expression Studio for my development needs.  I think it sucks that simple navigation buttons and includes are removed when they are included in even $20 pieces of Web Development software.
    Some idiot actually posted that if someone needs to use navigation extensions, then they should use the CS3 for adding them!  Why upgrade then?
    For all the money your charging for your software it should make coffee for me too!

    I have locked this thread.  It's not really a discussion - just a rant.  and it's a duplicate of a previous post.

  • How can I automatically close a dialog box using Javascript after I click the OK button to submit it?

    How can I automatically close a dialog box using Javascript after I click the OK button to submit it? I don't want to have to X out of the dialog box after I am done.
    Thanks

    JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog
    created in JS using the Dialog object.
