Flash navigation and frames / iframes page

For the past few months I've been trying to have a flash file
open a certain html page or php page in either a framepage or an
iframe. In the past I've had no problems with this. I've done it
several times before without any errors. But somwhere along the
launch of internet explorer 7 and or Flash Pro 8. I've not had such
luck.
If you look at the following site:
http://www.teamafp.com
you will notice that the flash menu system works just fine.
The flash buttons opens the correct pages in the correct windows.
This site was made a few years ago and even with the development of
IE7 and FireFox it still functions the way it should.
Now when making a new site using the EXACT SAME CODE and the
EXACT SAME HTML / PHP CODE (for the frames / iframes) this does not
work
I've mad a quick example of this located at this url:
http://67.59.38.170/FlashIframe/window.html
Any one who can figure out why this is would be greatly
appriciated!!!!

....... It's moments like this that make us programmers feel
really dumb. I can't believe that I've been forgetting the ""
around the window property. That seemed to have done the trick.
Thank you.

Flash navigation and frames

I have flash navigation buttons in top frame. When the
navigation/menu buttons are clicked the content should load in the
'body' frame. What is actually occurring is the content is opening
in a new window. I've checked the frame name and actions etc in
flash. Can anyone provide advice on why this isn't working?

What is the link to your page?
Is this something that your school is requiring, or was the
decision to use
Flash nav and frames yours?

Flash text and frames!

Hi,
Im making a simple frameset with a left navigation and a main
frame.
It works fine with normal links in the navigation.
But when i use flashtext links it launches a new window, even
with the target set.
Any ideas?
thanks

> But when i use flashtext links it launches a new window,

> set.
Is this during a local F12 local preview?
But does it work when uploaded to a server?
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/00001180.html
note this paragraph:
Security note: In Flash Player 9 and later, when code in a
SWF file that is
running in the local-with-filesystem sandbox calls the
getURL() function and
specifies a custom window name for the window parameter, the
window name is
transfered into a random name. The name is in the form
"_flashXXXXXXXX",
where each X represents a random hexadecimal digit. Within
the same session
(until you close the containing browser window), if you call
the function
again and specify the same name for the window parameter, the
same random
string is used.
so, targeting named frames is effectively broken when viewing
local files
AFAIK.
They should work as intended when uploaded to a server.
If that's not it, url address to the uploaded page please.

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

Problem with accordion widget flashing open and shut when page loads

why is it that my accordion widget flashes open and shut when the page is loading (see http://vincentballmusewebsite2013test.businesscatalyst.com/digital-illustration.html#.UVDr Ehx7JyII) have tried everything to solve this, and Adobes customer service is terrible they don't get back to you when they say they will.
Please help me someone,
Thanks

Thank you Zak for your help, I spent 5 hours going round in circles trying to fix that problem and that's all I needed to hear, a bit of honesty and integrity.and yes, Adobes terrible customer service has still not got back to after promising 2 level technical support to contact me last Monday, I wish there'd keep their promise
Pamela, did you try my test website or my own website and if so my own has now no accordion widget on it and my test website may need you to try loading a few times to see if it really works or not, sometimes it does actually work even on a pc but most times not.
thanks for you help too.

Navigation from Frame to Page

Hello Friends,
Iam new to BSP and just started developing a application and iam stuck up in the navigation part.
My application has a "Home page" which left and right frames.
In left frame I have tree structure and in right frame I dislpay different pages depending on the Node that is selected in left frame.
I have done this using,
link = "page.htm"
target = "rightframe"
Now my problem is I have a page in right frame and it has a button. On clicking that button it is obviuos that the next page will be displayed in right frame itself because I have written "navigation->goto_page(nextpage.htm)". But I want that on clicking the button in right frame the next page should be displayed as a new page in the same window without left frame...
I hope my doubt is clear..
Thanks in Advance....

clicking on each link should navigate me to different checkboxes in the same page (I mean without scrolling
just copy/paste the code below in a notepad and save it as html . this will explain on how to scroll down the page automatically by clicking a link.
<blockquote>
 <ul>
 <li>
 <a href="#One">One</a></li>
 <li>
 <a href="#Two">Two</a></li>
 <li>
 <a href="#Three">Three</li>
 </ul>
 </blockquote>
<a name="One">One</a>
 
 
 
 
This is for test
 
 
 
 
<a href="#Top">Back to Top</a>
 
<a name="Two">Two</a>
 
 
 
 
This is for test
 
 
 
 
<a href="#Top">Back to Top</a>
 
<a name="Three">Three</a>
 
 
 
 
This is for test
 
 
 
 
<a href="#Top">Back to Top</a>
for other questions like
These check boxes should again have different checkboxes within it. And on clicking on the parent checkbox all these child check boxes should be checked.
and navigating to other page with the data for the checked boxes
you have to collect the values in the oninputprocessing and pass it to other pages. i would suggest you to go thru the sample applications.

Object Based Navigation and several Logon Pages

Hi SAP Experts,
when searching help.sap.com for object-based navigation, I get a very detailed and helpful description about what Object-based navigation is:
"The primary capability offered by OBN is that the data returned to the user during navigation is role-based and accessed dynamically during runtime. While navigating in the portal, users receive different kinds of data from iViews based on business objects, according the needs and requirements of their role in the organization. In other words, two different users may perform the same navigation operation, for example, drag the same link from the same iView onto the same target iView, and the data returned to each of them will be different because it is role dependent. This is the work of business object operations."
However it is not specified in the Help, if I can use these navigation objects also for several Logon Pages for different users. Does anybody of you have experience with that?
I know that I can handle different Logon Pages by defining a Portal Gateway Mechanism. Is that still necessary or can I handle everything with OBN?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Alex

Hi Parameshwari,
Object-Based Navigation (OBN)is the portalavigation scenerio. the navigation targets are defined by operations of a business object.
Object-based navigation (OBN) offers portal users an additional method of navigation based on business objects from productive back-end systems. From the Portal Content Catalog, the business objects are imported from systems in the Portal Content Directory (PCD) to the Business Objects folder in the Portal Content Catalog, where they can be arranged logically into sub-folders as desired.
The primary capability offered by OBN is that the data returned to the user during navigation is role-based and accessed dynamically during runtime. While navigating in the portal, users receive different kinds of data from iViews based on business objects, according the needs and requirements of their role in the organization. In other words, two different users may perform the same navigation operation, for example, drag the same link from the same iView onto the same target iView, and the data returned to each of them will be different because it is role dependent. This is the work of business object operations.

Applet navigator to open a page in another frame.

Hello to the Java gurus out there,
I was wondering if someone could give me a pointer as to how I can get an applet navigator to open a page in another frame of the web browser?
Say for example, I have two frames in the main HTML page where one frame contains an Applet navigator, and the other page can be loaded based on where the user clicks on the applet navigator.
Capturing the mouse click event is all good, but then how do I load a page in another frame ??
Any help would be much appreciated.
J. Park

In your applet class do the following
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("somepage"), "Target");
See the AppletContext class in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html for more information.

Problem with Absolute Navigation (External Window) and Light Framework Page

Hi All,
We are using Light Framework page for the portal devolopment. We have an application including two webdynpro iviews where absolute navigation is used to traverse from first iview to second iview (When user clicks a button on first iview). We are showing the second iview in external window (SHOW_EXTERNAL). When ever i clicks the button to traverse to second iview, i am getting an exception.
When we are showing it in same window (SHOW_INPLACE), it is working fine. But the iview is appeared in half of the page with scrollbars. It is working fine with default framework page (with both options SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL) and dispalyed in original size as mentioned in iview properties.
Could you please suggest us whether there is any work around for this.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Hi Kathiresan
I couldn't see the address bar of the window (In which second iview is getting displayed). But i can observe no parameters that i passed from first iview is visible in the view source of the second iview (When SHOW_EXTERNAL is used in absolute navigation). I could see all the parameters in the view source (when SHOW_INPLACE is used for absolute navigation). But i am using the same url for both the options (for SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL).
I doubt about the url being passed when SHOW_EXTERNAL option is used. But when we checked in debug, The correct url is being triggered (Atleast from first iview). Is there any way that could display the second window with address bar. What is making difference between SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL with absolute navigation and light framework page.
Could someone please suggest.
Thanks,
Sudheer.

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.)

Passing values to iframed page with flash chart.

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically generate a series of charts within a sql report.
In my report i make several calls to a page with a (flash) chart and i pass some values to this page/chart by setting page items through the source url of the iframe.
The problem is that all the iframed instances of the page in my report display the same data although each iframe sets specific page item values through its source url.
(only the page item values that were set by the last call to the page are being used by all the other chart instances)
So why does this happen?
Are the iframed charts rendered to slow?
Is this a flash problem?
Should i call each iframe within a seperate session?
And does anyone know how to correctly pass values to the iframed page / chart so each instance of the page/chart displays the correct data?
Thanks
Niels

Solved my problem by leaving the SESSION part blank in the src url of the iframe.
Apex creates a new session for every iframe now, the page items values are not overwritten and the data is displayed correctly.

How make the Top-level Navigation and Content Area in one page as a whole?

I want to make the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area in the one page as a whole displayed in user interface.In the default framework,the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area were contained in 2 pages, So the vertical scroll bar could only control the Content Area. I want to control the full page with one vertical bar like the page of "www.sdn.sap.com" Web.

Hi Jianguo,
One advantage of the external facing portal solution (SP14) is that the framework page is displayed in a single frame. Perhaps this could be of use to you.
Hope this helps.

Flash navigation won't always load page

A web site I'm working on working uses Flash for the
navigation. There's a primary vertical navigation bar and all links
work. There are two vertical menu bars that appear separately when
certain buttons are rolled over on the primary bar. One of the
secondary bars works fine. The second one however is the one
causing me grief...it's a movie clip. When I click on a button, it
opens like an accordion revealing additional links. When any of the
links are clicked, a new web page is supposed to load. Sometimes
the appropriate page loads, sometimes not.
I've used getURL throughout and it works everywhere but in
that navigation bar.
Every html page has a different flash file. Sometimes when
the html page doesn't load the appropriate page, the proper flash
navigation appears though.
I've gone over the code for every button on every page and
searched forums, but still can't find what I've done wrong. Any
help would be appreciated.

Hi

Gray frame around flash buttons and more...

Hi,
1.I've used flash buttons in my home page,the problem is
that when u view the page with explorer u see a gray frame around
the buttons...
It is so ugly...some one knows how to fix it without using
the code?
2. Another problem, the behevior "show pop up menu" is not
valid,
i've used it before on that page....
i tried everything... i saved it ,linked it...
i dont know what is the problem...
thank you....if you can help
Racheli

I'm experiencing the same problems with my flash buttons. As
you hover over them initially, a gray border surrounds them and an
alt tag pops up that says "click here to activate this control."
This confuses some of the visitors, becuase they perceive this as
if the buttons do not work. I suspect it may be a browser specific
problem...are there any quick fixes for this? Thanks for the help.
