Flash in PDF: linking to another page?

Hi!
I need to add some interactive flash elements to a PDF, including some buttons that should make que document jump to a given page.
Can't find any documentation on this. How can it be done?
thanks

It's possible (and according to the SDK extremely simple) but it doesn't work. If you have a SWF on page 1 (offset 0) then calling
ExternalInterface.call("eval","this.pageNum=1");
from ActionScript is a Very Bad Idea, as the RMA is deactivated before the return value can be sent from the host to the EI handler. This kills Flash, which takes Acrobat/Reader down with it in a screaming mass of twisted metal and chocolate.
The workaround is to use EI in ActionScript to call a JS document-level function in the PDF which returns a value, but also spawns a timer-delayed function which changes the page. That way the RMA deactivation isn't coincident with the handshake, but it's messy.

At end of flash video, automatic link to another page??

Hi, this is what I'm trying to do:
On my homepage I want a video and when the video has ended, the user gets redirected to the next page. So far I've got my video in flv format, imported it into Flash CS4 and the added video control thing. I've then exported the movie and imported it into Dreamweaver CS3. I can get it working on my website.
So basically what I now want is to add this automatic link at the end of the video. Any ideas?
Thanks, Scott

There are basically three elements to using the navigateToURL function. Here they are broken down as separate pieces...
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);
And here they are combined into one line of code
   navigateToURL(new URLRequest( "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html"));
And if you want have the content appear in the same window include "_self" in the arguments
   navigateToURL(req, "_self");
OR
   navigateToURL(new URLRequest( "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html"), "_self");

Link to another page in a new browser window

Hey Guys,
I wanted to know how to set up a link to another page that loads up in a new browser window.
This what my code looks like:
<!--
htp.print('<center>' || :P1_11 );
htp.print('
--!>
This works but the problem is that it goes straight to the login window and asks the user to login again and then it goes to the desired page. Is there a way to set up the link so it goes directly to the new page in a new browser without having the user to log in again?

Have you tried using the #SESSION# substitution string in the URL instead of hard-coding the session ID into the link?
By the way, why is so much of your stuff in anonymous blocks/procedures? Just curious.

Calendar Day Link to Another Page

I have a Page which has Date as LOV with Submit With Select (This is Page 10)
e.g. User selects a date, report is displayed based on date selected. This is done using Select list with Submit. Date is populated using LOV based on query. The default value of date is Maximum of date in on of my date column.
The above think works great. No problem so far.
I want to create calendar view which is another page (This is Page 20) .
Calendar is created using Calendar wizard. In Calendar, I want to link Day to above Page. I can create day link which links back to Page 10 and also report data is displayed based on date selected in Calendar.
Now, the problem: The problem is value of Date field on above page (Page 10) is always set to default value. Although, I have said that default value should only set when session state is NULL.
So my question is why Date (Display value) is not set to value passed from Calendar Page. I have checked Session info and correct value of date is present.
What should I do to correct this problem ?
The other question is :
How to disable calendar day link when there is no data to be displayed ? At present, as soon as I create a Day link, all the Days in Calendar are linked, what I want is, to hightlight/clickable which has only some data.
How should I do this ?
Thanks
Sanjay

Sanjay,
Instead of using the Day Link feature, you can create a link in the SQL query for the calendar region. This will accomplish both of your goals: It will pass the value to your other page, and it will only appear for days where there is a value.
If you look at the Orders page of the sample application, you'll see that the SQL for the calendar is :
select '<a title="Order Detail" href="f?p=&APP_ID.:29:' || :APP_SESSION || '::::P29_ORDER_ID:' || order_id || '">' || to_char(order_total, '$999,999') || '</a>
' ord, order_timestamp
from demo_orders o, demo_users u
where o.user_id = u.user_id and (u.user_name = :APP_USER
or :APP_USER = 'ADMIN')
The query returns two columns: The value to display, and a date. In this case, the value to display is a link to another page. The link passes a value for the P29_ORDER_ID value.
Documentation for the link syntax is available here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10992/mvl_fund.htm#sthref446

How to link to another page in same application?

I think I have a brain fog right now. Cause I can't figure this out.
I would like to link to another page in the same application by way of just an arbitrary word in a paragraph.
I am not trying to pass any values. I am not using a button or a text item.
How can I make a link out of a word?
Thanks much,
Maggie

Hi Maggie!
I imagine myself, that you have a html text and you want to have a hyperlink to another page in your application.
For instance you have a text like: "I want to create a hyperlink to a page"
Now, if your mouse passes the word "hyperlink", you want to see that magic 'hand'.
First copy the URL of the target page: something like this -> "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=100:2:3122716493255005::NO:::"
Than change your html text in this way:
I want to create a hyperlink to a page
I hope, it helps

Using the nav bar to link to another page.

It is possible to use the nave bar to link to another page such as a blog?
Example:
Welcome About Me My Photos Blog (linked to external blog such as blogger)

If you want the link to the external page to appear in the default navbar then do the following:
1 - create a blank page and name it the way you want it in the navbar.
2 - add an HTML Snippet to that page with the following code in it:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO THE EXTERNAL PAGE"; </script>
What this does is automatically redirect the viewer to the external page when the link in the navbar is clicked on.
My Demo Sites are setup this way. The Contents page for each site is redirected to a separate Contents site which contains the index of all the pages in the three demo sites. That way I only have to change the index on the Contents site instead of doing it for each site individually.
If you want the other page to open in a new window you'll have to create a separate text based hyperlink and use the Inspector/Link pane to link the text to it and check the open in new window option. If you need to have that in the navbar you can create a texbased navbar, hide the default one and set your links as needed in the Inspector/Link pane. This is a demo page of a Text Based Navbar.

How do I link to another page in the same iBook?

I am trying to link from within the text of my book to another page in the same iBook. How do I do that in iBooks Author?
For example...
The text on page 1 might read.... "If you'd like to jump to the page on herbivores, click here". And that text would be linked to page 49, which is about herbivored.
Any ideas? Greatly appreciated!!

It looks like I figured this out by playing around with it.
The reason that I couldn't bookmark the text earlier is that I had created a text box and entered text in there. When you create a text box, that text is not recognized by the bookmark widget. However when you type directly into the page template itself, it recognizes the text just fine. I'm able to set bookmarks and then link to those bookmarks using the hyperlink featuer. Looks like it's solved, I was just trying to use the wrong tool for text entering.
Thanks for your help Don, you've been great!

How to add a link to another page

Hello,
I am new to Adobe Designer 7.0, I'm liking it so far, I had a question though, I was wondering how I could make a link from one page to another. For instance, I want to have a table of contents and I want the user to be able to click on the word whatever that may be and for it to go to the page which they chose.
I appreciate your responses!!
Mac Mendez

Mac, the best way to do this is use a Button and change it to look like a hyperlink (color, etc.). Add a setFocus JavaScript on the Click event to a field on the page you want it to go to; e.g.,
xfa.host.setFocus("Page3.TextField1");
If there is not a field on the page, make a hidden field for it to jump to.

How to link from another page directly to a photo within a Spry gallery?

I have created a page that has a photo gallery using Donald's tutorial to make a spry photo gallery. I have a need to link to a specific photo in that gallery from another page. I have seen the discussions on how to do this with tabbed panels etc.. but wondering how to do it in this context.

Add default slide to the constructor and use a similar process to http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/spry_url_utils.php
var ImageSlideShow = new Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow("#ImageSlideShow", {
    defaultSlide: 2,
    widgetID: "ImageSlideShow",

Linking to another page (sheet) in the same workbook?

Hi,
Can somebody please confirm that Numbers does NOT offer the possiblity to have a hyperlink linking to another sheet within the same workbook?
I have a few switchers at my office who couldn't get it to work, and I couldn't find any info about it either, so now they have to work in Office 2003 within Windows, just because of this
Thanks.

In the current version of Numbers, hyperlinks are limited to opening web pages in browsers & email messages in email client applications. Even if a new, enhanced version honored a wider range of URL's, say of the "file://" type, they would probably open a new window in an appropriate application.
As I don't believe individual sheets in a Numbers document have URL's (or URI's?), it is unlikely that an enhanced hyperlink feature would be suitable for what you want to do.
You can, of course, quickly move between sheets by clicking on their names in the "Sheets" pane, so perhaps a combination of descriptive sheet names & text boxes in selected sheets saying something like "Click 'Sales' to see more' would be an acceptable workaround.

PDF links open numerous pages in safari instead of saving file or opening it in preview

Go back to previous location after linking to another page in the same document

I have set up links in a pdf file and would like to have the form go to the page view attached to the link and then return to the location that initiated the link. I usually use bookmarks to move around pdf forms, but the user didn't want to see the bookmarks and wanted the look of html. Please let me know how I can link to a location and then go back where I came from.
Thanks for the help!

Yes. Use a JavaScript action with this code:
app.goBack();
