Flash CS3 Linking

Hi,
I am extremely new to creating websites, I knew nothing three
weeks ago. The site I have built is www.alecq.com the problem I am
having is that after much trouble I managed to create a button in
flash CS3 and export it to Dreamweaver CS3. The links work, however
when pressed they open in a new window. How can I do this so that
when a link is pressed it opens in the same window.
I hope this makes sense. Below is the code I used in Flash
for one of the buttons:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var getportfolio:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Untitled
Document");
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pclick);
function pclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getportfolio);
I will now show the relevant code from dreamweaver:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=9,0,28,0"
width="62" height="27" title="About Alec Quinton Male Model
Bristol">
<param name="movie" value="Buttons/About.swf" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="Buttons/About.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="62" height="27"
allowScriptAccess="always"></embed>
</object>
I would be so very grateful of some help, please keep it
simple though, my knowledge is minimal! Many thanks in
advance.

  • How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?

    How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?
    I wrote this, but it does not work:
    btn_emailinfo.on (release) {
    getURL("mailto:"[email protected]");
    }

    I am guessing you put that on a frame?
    If so, the syntax is as follows:
    btn_emailinfo.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    Though, if you are placing it directly on the button itself,
    the syntax is:
    on(release){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    }

  • How do I use a Flex swc in Flash CS3?

    My engineering team has used Flex to create a nice little swc
    for me to use inside of Flash CS3, but now I'm having trouble
    finding any documentation on how to actually import it. Placing it
    in the Components folder doesn't work, as it's not recognized by
    the Components window (either as an AS2 or AS3 swc). Is it even
    possible to use swcs from Flex in Flash? Thank you very much for
    the help.

  • Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (need to save out as Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)

    I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that
    makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file
    to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my
    publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep
    getting an error as follows:
    "WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript
    2.0."
    Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm
    pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only
    beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
    I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent
    my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for
    attachments

    Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
    changed the
    publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
    version of the
    FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
    Start over and
    compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
    one for AS2.
    Open the Components panel and note the differences between
    the two. There
    are a different set of Components depending on the language
    chosen for the
    document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
    panel in an
    AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

  • How to creating a web banner in Flash CS3?

    Hi all,
    I'm very new to Flash CS3. Can anyone give me a step-by-step
    instructions on how to make a banner for a web-site? Or a link were
    i can find step-by-step instructions?
    I have googled it but found no real help. I have tryed
    "Youtube" hoping to even fine any one (most likely a child) with
    directions on how to do this. Funny thing is that it seems most 8
    year olds are better at Flash CS3 than I am & i'm 45.
    Anyway, if you can help please make it simple or for the
    simple minded. :)
    Thanks to all!!

    I understand your pain...I just posted a similar request
    earlier today for help but finally figured it out on my own. I've
    done lots of searching online and used Adobe's Flash Classroom in a
    Book and also took an online ed2go class and I still don't have a
    good handle on Flash. Nothing seems to give clear step by step
    directions on animating images for web banners. You just have to do
    a lot of trial and error. These websites may help if you don't have
    time for the classes:

  • Flash cs3 unexpected file format ... how can I open this .fla??

    Hi there,
    Someone sent me a .fla file that I can't seem to get opened in my Flash CS3 program.  I think it's because it was made in CS4 which isn't backwards compatible with CS3.
    So, now I'm wondering if there is a way I can open the .fla file in CS3.  Better yet, is there some kind soul here that could possibly open the .fla in CS4, and save it as a CS3 and send it back to me?
    I would normally just ask the guy to do this himself but he left on vacation today and I haven't had a chance to try and open the file until now.
    Thanks
    Mike

    upload your fla and post a link.

  • Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

    Hello everyone.
    I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
    after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
    Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
    http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
    As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
    This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
    If any one can help, please.
    - Rudy
    P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

    Dougfly,
    Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
    2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
    Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

  • AIR Intrinsic Classes-Tried and Proven Approach to building AIR applications   in the Flash CS3 IDE

    Hi everyone,
    For all of you out there who would like to develop AIR
    applications
    from the Flash CS3 IDE but aren't sure how to get those pesky
    intrinsic
    classes working, I have a technique that you can work with to
    create
    your classes and make fully functional AIR applications.
    First of all, those solutions out there that list
    "intrinsic" functions
    in their class definitions won't work. That keyword has been
    taken out
    and simply won't work. The "native" keyword also doesn't work
    because
    Flash will reject it. The solution is to do dynamic name
    resolution at
    runtime to get all the classes you need.
    Here's a sample class that returns references to the "File",
    "FileStream", and "FileMode" classes:
    package com.adobe{
    import flash.utils.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    public class AIR extends MovieClip {
    public static function get File():Class {
    try {
    var classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.File');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get File
    public static function get FileMode():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileMode');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileMode
    public static function get FileStream():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileStream');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileStream
    }//AIR class
    }//com.adobe package
    I've defined the package as com.adobe but you can call it
    whatever you
    like. You do, however, need to import "flash.utils.*" because
    this
    package contains the "getDefinitionByName" method. Here I'm
    also
    extending the MovieClip class so that I can use the extending
    class
    (shown next) as the main Document class in the Flash IDE.
    Again, this is
    entirely up to you. If you have another type of class that
    will extend
    this one, you can have this one extend Sprite, Math, or
    whatever else
    you need (or nothing if it's all the same to you).
    Now, in the extending class, the Document class of the FLA,
    here's the
    class that extends and uses it:
    package {
    import com.adobe.AIR;
    public class airtest extends AIR{
    public function airtest() {
    var field:TextField=new TextField();
    field.autoSize='left';
    this.addChild(field);
    field.text="Fileobject="+File;
    }//constructor
    }//airtest class
    }//package
    Here I'm just showing that the class actually exists but not
    doing much
    with it.
    If you run this in the Flash IDE, the text field will show
    "File
    object=null". This is because in the IDE, there really is no
    File
    object, it only exists when the SWF is running within the
    Integrated
    Runtime. However, when you run the SWF as an AIR application
    (using the
    adl.exe utility that comes with the SDK, for example), the
    text field
    will now show: "File object=[object File]". Using this
    reference, you
    can use all of the File methods directly (have a look here
    for all of
    them:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html).
    For example, you can call:
    var appResource:File=File.applicationResourceDirectory;
    This particular method is static so you don't need an
    instance. If you
    do (such as when Flash tells you the property isn't static),
    simply
    create an instance like this:
    var fileInstace:File=new File();
    fileInstance.someMethod('abc'); //just an example...read the
    reference
    for actual function calls
    Because the getter function in the AIR class returns a Class
    reference,
    it allows you to perform all of these actions directly as
    though the
    File class is part of the built in class structure (which in
    the
    runtime, it is!).
    Using this technique, you can create references to literally
    *ALL* of
    the AIR classes and use them to build your AIR application.
    The beauty
    of this technique is its brevity. When you define the class
    reference,
    all of the methods and properties are automatically
    associated with it
    so you don't need reams of code to define each and every
    item.
    There's a bit more that can be done with this AIR class to
    make it
    friendlier and I'll be extending mine until all the AIR
    classes are
    available. If anyone's interested, feel free to drop me a
    line or drop
    by my site at
    http://www.baynewmedia.com
    where I'll be posting the
    completed class. I may also make it into a component if
    there's enough
    interest. To all of you who knew all this already, I hope I
    didn't waste
    your time.
    Happy coding,
    Patrick

    Wow, you're right. The content simply doesn't show up at all.
    No
    JavaScript or HTML parsing errors, apparently. But no IE7
    content.
    I'll definitely have to look into that. In the meantime, try
    FireFox :)
    I'm trying to develop a panel to output AIR applications from
    within the
    Flash IDE. GSkinner has one but I haven't been able to get it
    to work
    successfully. Mine has exported an AIR app already so that's
    a step in
    the right direction but JSFL is a tricky beast, especially
    when trying
    to integrate it using MMExecute strings.
    But, if you can, create AIR applications by hand. I haven't
    yet seen an
    application that allows you to change every single option
    like you can
    when you update the application.xml file yourself. Also, it's
    a great
    fallback skill to have.
    Let me know if you need some assistance with AIR exports.
    Once you've
    done it a couple of times, it becomes pretty straightforward.

  • Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

    This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
    very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
    only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
    times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
    anyone having found a solution.
    When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
    simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
    is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
    should be.
    However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
    Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
    Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
    Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
    the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
    at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
    problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
    user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
    very easily.
    In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
    to the problem.
    It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
    movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
    Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
    open... etc...
    I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
    faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
    Here are some links I found about this problem:
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
    http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
    This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
    solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
    And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
    this in CS4...
    So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
    "Don't use it."
    I guess they're right!
    Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
    or knows anything about it!

  • Flash CS4 Link to a printable pdf file

    Any advise?

  • Flash CS3 Exe won't open in Explorer/Firefox

    I have created a project in Flash CS3 and exported it. I
    "embedded" a link in an HTML document. When I click on the link in
    Firefox I only get the option to download. When I click on it I get
    the choice to open or save & when I choose "open" I get the
    security warning "Windows has found a problem with the file." and
    it is blocked. Further information below says that it does not have
    a valid digital signature.
    The really funny thing is when I export it in Flash 8 it
    works perfectly.
    Thanks in advance for your (anybody's ;-) support.

    That error is displayed when the download is corrupt. You should be able to redownload to fix this and if that doesn't work empty the cache of the program you are using to download Firefox with before trying to download again.

  • Can I use AS2 in Flash CS3 ?

    Is it possible to use in Flash Cs3 the AS2 and not just AS3 ?
    I am only trying to do a web link from a button to some web
    site.....
    I wrote
    on (release) {
    getURL ("
    http://www.yahoo.com", "_blank");
    and nothing happen....some women here asked same question a
    month ago...people told her it is different from the AS2.....still
    I cant used AS2 in falsh cs3 ?
    or can I ?

    you can mix as1 and as2 in an swf created in flash cs3 or you
    can use as3 in a swf created in flash cs3. but you cannot mix as3
    with either of the other two languages.
    use the publish settings to choose which language you want to
    use in your swf.

  • Flash CS3 - Odd button problem

    Hello, Ive upgraded to Flash CS3 and I'm having a problem
    with buttons.
    When I open up my site, the old buttons work fine to navigate
    the site and open up URL links. I have the actions on their own
    layer instead of having an onRelease on each button.
    However, when I create new buttons, they don't work.
    I've even tried copying the existing working buttons,
    applying the exact same actionscript to figure out what's going on,
    but that also doesn't work, those buttons won't open up the URLs.
    Am I perhaps using the wrong publish settings/flash player
    choice?
    Thanks

    The answer is "skins" just search under "Creating skins for
    some instances" in the Flash CS3 help file.
