Flash nav targeting html frames...

I have NO idea why, I've read all the posts about having a
flash nav menu target a frame within a HTML frameset. I even set up
a quick test... (I'm using flash MX2004 professional so you all
know)
Ok, this is what I did....
I created a framset in Dreamweaver using their fixed top
frameset. So there's a top nav frame, and a bottom content frame.
the frame holding the flash nav is called header.htm. The
content frame is called main.htm (or the default htm page that
opens in that frame) The frameset master of course is called
index.htm.
I created a test flash nav with 2 quick buttons. This is the
code on the first and second buttons...
first button:
on (release) {
getURL("test1.htm","mainFrame")
second button:
on (release) {
getURL("test2.htm","mainFrame")
As you can see I'm targeting the content frame which is named
"mainFrame" in the index page like this:
<frameset rows="119,*" cols="*" framespacing="0"
frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame src="header.htm" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO"
noresize >
<frame src="main.htm" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
So, I run the whole thing and instead of the flash nav
pointing at the "mainFrame" frame, it just opens a whole new
window! I've researched all over the place, and i'm not new to
flash, i've done some advanced stuff, so you would think this would
be a simple endeavor... Am I truely that stupid, or is this an
issue with flash targeting framesets?? PLEASEHELP!!

Did you heard about _blank , _self , _parent , ....??? maybe
is something to
do with the names you are using...
i didnt understand much ur problem but first thing u have to
be familiar
with those things.. i hope that helps.

Flash nav inserting html links into div -example-

I have made a flash navigation bar and I want it to link to
the pages on the same page:
http://www.cbsanswer.com/framecomeon.htm
Of course I understand frames are outdated. I have read
through CCS and read about SSI, but I cannot find how to open
content into a Div. You can see what my objective is when you visit
the website above.
Two problems:
1.) What is the codeing for linking a flash button to a
corresponding div or frame? (I tried programing the MANUFACTURING
link to open in the _Parent frame and than tried the name of the
frame "mainFrame".)
2.) Can I make sure that the entire navigation is viewable? I
had to put this stupid scroll bar in.
I appreciate any advice as I have already checked out every
book on the subject and spent two days searching the internet.

Target another frame in a framset from flash navigation

Target another frame in a frameset with for example
getUrl (example.html, "rightFrame");
has Adobe released some solution?
- Right now we migrate from Flash towards PowerPoint and CSS,
because
the lack of answers and interactivity in Flash because of
Microsofts "security pathes" in IE 6 and 7
Right now I cant find a simple solution of how to target
another
frame from a frame in the same html-doc from a button in a
flash navigation.
Am I right or wrong? It looks like everyone avoid this simple
question?
- Why?
And I still appreciate every possible answer that could solve my
problem and a lot of problem to other
interactive producer.

Cant target another frame in the same frameset (2 frames -
LeftFrame and RightFrame ) in the same html.doc
This is the code I have applied to the Flash button
in a frame called navigation in LeftFrame:
on(release){
getURL("right.htm", rightFrame);
For some reason I can't get the page to open in the target
frame (RightFrame).
It will only pop up in a new window. (_blank)
Microsoft has done a some security restriction since februari
2006.
The problem is that you cant use flash navigation in the same
frameset no longer.
I´ve serched everywhere and it looks like there is no
simple solution to this problem.
Adobe suggest that you Work around with Javascript.
But what´s happend if the user disable JavaScript in the
WebBrowser?
Isn´t that obvious - it´s a strategic issue for the
Interactive webbindustry.
It´s a crossroad - which way webdesigners/developers,
markering managers
e-commerce managers.., want to choose to work along with
databases, content
management system and so on.
If Flash not can provide an easy way of targeting another
frame in a webbrowser for
its customers, the customers have to choose a another
solution - CSS+php or even worse
- PowerPoint.
I already migrate to CSS, PHP and PowerPoint because of
Adobes late response of Microsoft so called
"..because of security reason".
At least I hope Adobe is interested of producing a motion
tutorial of how to solve the problems by
Javascript or whatever complex and not user friendly
solution
they come up with.
Do you understand now?
If you can provide a simple code below - please tell me -
I really appreciate that!!!!!
Code on flash button in LeftFrame:
OnPress (I appreciate some bright solution here or som e link
to how I solve the problem.)

Flash navigation and html files

I have a Flash navigation banner. The navigation banner
contains seven buttons. Each button when clicked goes to different
frames in the Flash movie. So, the first interaction is to make the
movie to go to a particular frame, which I was able to do easily.
On those frames, I also would like to load or link to HTML page.
Like frame 10 will be page1.htm, frame 18 will be page2.htm so on
and so forth. How do I link .htm files and the single navigation
bar where each button would go to a specific frame and play the
frame? I don’t want to use frames in my html docs. Is there
any other solution? Please help!!
Thank you in advance.
FA

Thank you for reply. I appreciate it. So, if I understand
correctly:
I would embed the navbar.swf in all my html files. Then Each
button would go to each html pages (Like page1.htm page2.htm
etc...) Then I use your code in my html file right? Like each html
file will have the following code:
<param name="movie" value="nav.swf?frame=page2">
Is that how it works. Sorry for not being able to your
answer.
Thank you very much again

Flash navigation and HTML forms

Wondering if any one can help. Whenever I use an html form on
an html page, my flash navigation will not show up. The area where
it should be is blank and my browser status bar says that there are
two items remaining (my flash navs). The browser stays like this
indefinately, not completely loading the page.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Elise

Adding Flash Music to HTML Site

Hi everyone,
I need help adding background music to a site. YES! YES! I
know the million reasons not to do it, but the client wants it so I
am going to do it :-)
Once I create the SWF file with the music I want to stream,
how can I add it to the HTML code so it will play continuously
throughout the site instead of re-starting every time the user
moves from one page to another?
Thanks in advance for your help

HTML Frames not using custom scrollbar in Flex 3 mx:HTML

I've been working on an app that uses a custom skin in Flex 3. The app has a help window. The help contains an HTML with frames. Problem is, the main app vertical scrollbar custom skin is being ignored for the HTML Frames scrollbar (what looks like the classic version of Halo - maybe). This only happens with frames. It happens no matter how or where I place my HTML or HTMLLoader. If I dont have frames the custom scrollbar is used. Is there a node im missing in my skin css (obviously not VScrollBar or ScrollBar - the two standard used by Flex)? or some other way to connect the HTML Frames scrollbar to my custom skin.
I'm not a noob but not an expert.
Thanks.
See attached image for example.

<%@ taglib uri="WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>

Session timeouts for login page with in a html frame

Hi, i have a login page which when the session times out gets redisplayed within the frame of the html page where the session timed out , i have tried setting the session timeouts to be less than the other application so that the login page will timeout before the documentum application but this does not make a difference.
does any one know how i could get the login page to redisplay by itself, outside of the html frame. do i need to have some javascript to figure out if there is a frame then redraw the page etc...and how should i di this ? any working examples will be appreciated.

You would certainly need some Javascript or use the meta-refresh tag to the session timeout time. If you set the meta-refresh tag in a frame to a time just a little bit bigger than the session timeout time and the set your security mechanisms to force the user to login in again when the session times out, the frame will refresh after the session has timed out and the application should forward the frame to the login page.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="session-timeout-timeout+1">
(timeout time is in seconds)

How to show a MPEG4/H.264 video in Flash in an HTML page?

Maybe my title isn't clear. I am hoping someone can shed some
light on the h264 use in flash.
Instead of displaying a progressive download .FLV video , I
am trying to have an MPEG4 /h.264 approx. - a 30meg video display
in flash in an .html page. Quicktime is easy to do, but Flash is my
goal.
I read several articles on h264 and flash 9, including this
adobe
H264 article but was hoping there might be an easier and maybe
quicker solution. I did try renaming the .mp4 extension to .flv in
dreamweaver but it did not display the video. (...unless it was
downloading the video completely before displaying...not sure)
There is a ton of sites, blogs and articles on h.264 and how
flash 9 will display it...but when it comes to how one might
actually have h.264 in flash on their own site...I am finding it
difficult to figure out.
Forgive my lack of action script and Flash knowledge...any
direction is appreciated.
Erick

...well I did follow that article on playing an h264/mpeg4
video in flash. It works well, but how would you add playback
controls?
FLVPlayback component only allows you to source an FLV video
not h264/mpeg4.
This is probably a simple as3 answer...but I am not
knowledgeable on as3 to know what code to add.
Any suggests or direction that I should look would be great.
In the meantime I am researching actionscript 3 to find and anwer.

Tips for Changing Flash Website to HTML / Dreamweaver

I am going to be taking over the management of a website that was designed entirely in Flash. There really is no need for the entire website to be entirely in Flash - it is confusing to navigate and most of the content would be so much easier to update and maintain if it were saved in html. I want to keep two flash effects - one is the splash page and the other is gallery where a grid of photos flips up like cards and you can click the individual photos for a link to a specifications page.
So, my question. Is there an easy way to transition the site from flash only into html / dreamweaver? I think I already know the answer to this - "NO" - I'm going to have to redesign the site in dreamweaver and just insert the two flash elements I want to keep, but if anybody has any tips or tricks that would be FANTASTIC! Thanks.

The problem with FLASH sites is that they speak a different language - Action Script instead of HTML. While some Flashy effects can be emulated with DHTML (JavaScript, JQuery etc...) it's not always possible to achieve the exact same feel without FLASH. Everything depends on how Flash-centric the original site is and how much your client/boss is willing to toss out in favor of a more web accessible, search engine / user friendly / standards compliant website.
Incidentally, SPLASH pages are a complete waste of prime URL real estate. You don't want a Flash or image only SPLASH intro page on your ALL IMPORTANT domain name default page. If anything, you need to rebuild home page in HTML with plenty of keyword rich content for search engines and people to grab onto.
For more meaningful suggestions, please post a URL to the live site? It will be interesting to see how it ranks on Google and other SEs.

JSF seems not to support the use of the back buttons and html frames.

I�m having the following problem. I have a JSP which contains a button that register a listener. Here is part of the code:
<h:command_hyperlink label="<%=engineBean.getId()%>" commandName="<%=engineBean.getId()%>">
<f:action_listener type="helloDuke.CommandAction"/>
</h:command_hyperlink>
This action listener only forwards the request to other simple JSP.
The problem appears in the following situation:
1 � I click in the button that generates the event that will be processed by helloDuke.CommnadAction listener.
2 � It forward to a second JSP page.
3 � This second page is rendered to the user properly.
4 � The user clicks in the browser�s back button to return to previous page.
Then if is the user clicks in first page button, the CommandAction listener was removed. You must click again in the button to forward to the correct page.
The same happened if you are using html frames. If you have a frame with 2 pages and both pages register action listeners.
The last loaded page cleans the actions listener of the other.
Does anybody have any solution?.
It seems JSF doesn�t support the use of frames and I think that in some situation the frames are the solution to several problems.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Using the saveStateInClient=true produces a faulty output when using the command_button and an action_listener. The page that is rendered is totally useless: the button won't work, and due to the faulty rendering there's an output like: >com.sun.faces.saveStateMarker
So, why is it, that pressing the button (not using the saveStateInClient option) will only work the second time, same thing pressing the backbutton. Pressing the reload button will toggle between two pages - the one before the session id is assigned and the one that it's supposed to show.
Any guess will be greatly appreciated !!!!

Resize applet within a HTML frame

Hi,
I am using an applet to display a tree in a HTML frame of a web page.
I would like to resize or refresh the applet when the HTML frame is resized. Is there a way for the applet to know when the HTML frame is resized?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I tried using the componentResized() method to solve this problem but I was unsuccessful.
Here is what I tried:
My application consists of using a Java applet to display a tree in a HTML frame. In addition I put the tree in a scroll pane. I tried using addComponentListener(this) to get the componentResized() method to be involked. I tried adding the component listener to the scroll pane:
JScrollPane treeView = new JScrollPane(tree);
treeView.addComponentListener(this);
I tried adding the component listener to the root pane:
JRootPane root = getRootPane();
root.addComponentListener(this);
and I tried adding the comoponent listener to the glass pane and the content pane.
The componentResized() method was involked when the tree was initially displayed in some of my attempts but I was never able to get the componentResized() method to be involked when I resized the html frame.
I believe that I am having a problem determining which component to add the addComponentListener to so that the componentResized() method get invoked when I resize the html frame.
