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.

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

Flash CC does not publish swf and html files

I'm having issues with Flash CC. When I go to publish my movie the status bar appeaers then quickly disappears and the html and swf files are not created. I'm also not able to export the movie as a quicktime or AVI file. Is there specific settings I must have to publish and export? Note: I am working with AS3 and tried to do a simpple test with a box moving left to right and I have the same problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure the HTML and SWF are not currently in use? For example if you publish and preview it in a browser, it can lock those files because they're "in use". Then Flash cannot overwrite them. You'd need to close the browser or any Flash Players displaying them. If that still won't overwrite, delete the files and see if they're re-created.
If no files are being created at all, gointo publish settings and set a path to export the SWF and HTML file to, don't leaving it at the default (same folder as FLA). Try various places in fact to test permissions.
If you're on Windows you could try running Flash CC as Administrator to also get around any file writing permission issues. Right-click on the Flash icon and select Run as Administrator.
I've only really encountered this when my SWF/HTML was in use or stuck in a process.

A working method to load local PDF and HTML files on iOS

I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and I'm hoping this post saves someone time. Some of the information that's been posted in other locations is either wrong, incomplete, or might only work on Android. By the time you read this message the information here may no longer be accurate, so here's the testing environment:
Window 7
Flash CS 5.5.0
AIR 2.7.0.19530, which was compiled on June 28, 2011
iPad 1, version 4.3.5 of iOS
Let's get started.
On iOS, you load external PDF and HTML files using the StageWebView class.
On Windows, StageWebView works but the HTMLLoader class is a better choice if you're creating a desktop app.
You can also load HTML files by reading in the file's text. The information in this post is only for loading external HTML files.
StageWebView will not load a file that's in File.applicationDirectory. All files bundled in your app are placed in File.applicationDirectory, which means you'll have to copy any external file you wish to load with StageWebView to another directory.
So where can you copy your file? File.applicationStorageDirectory won't work. File.documentsDirectory does work.
Several people have recommended copying to a temporary file using File.createTempFile(). This works, but there's a catch: it seems that, like Windows, StageWebView relies on a file's extension when determining how to load it. When you create a temporary file on iOS using File.createTempFile(), the file will have no extension (and on Windows, File.createTempFile() creates a file with the extension .tmp, which is equally problematic).
The solution to the file extension problem is to rename the temporary file by appending the original file's extension. AIR currently does not have a <file>.rename() function, so you'll have to do it using <tempFile>.moveTo().
Here's some code I've successfully tested several times on both iOS and Windows. The file is copied to the temp directory. The file's extension is restored by just slapping the original file name to the end of the temp file.
        private function loadExternalFile():void
            var webView = new StageWebView();
            webView.stage = this.stage;
            webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, 1024, 555 );
            // Works with either html or pdf files.
            // These are stored in the root of the application directory.
            var fileName:String = "euei.pdf";
            //var fileName:String = "euei.htm";
            var sourceFile = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( fileName );
            var workingFile = File.createTempFile();
            try
                sourceFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
                // You have to rename the temp file
                var renamedTempFile:File = workingFile.resolvePath(workingFile.nativePath + fileName);
                workingFile.moveTo(renamedTempFile, true);
                webView.loadURL( renamedTempFile.url );
            catch (err:Error) { }

I tried this with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 4.0 SDK. Any pdf loaded simply fills the viewPort with black. Also tested with a png version of the pdf and that displayed just fine.
What's the purpose of copying to a temp work file? I found that webView.loadURL( sourceFile.url ); gave me the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Links in Flash and HTML files

Hi,
I hope someone can help me - it is probably a simple thing,
but have searched the help files etc.
I have a flash document with 3 buttons, each with links. When
I publish the file, the links in the SWF file work fine, but those
in the HTML file don't (all other actions are OK).
I doubt this important, but I have Flash CS3 on an offline
computer.
Please help!!
Mark.

This is the html code - it is just copied from the file which
is published in CS3.
Thanks.

Published swf and html file viewing issues.

Greetings,
I design web banners and used to, with Flash 8, sedn my
clients the published *.html and *.swf files to download onto their
desktops so they could view the banner. With Flash CS3 this doesn't
seem to be working the same way. It keeps giving them the window
that says something about "ac_runactivescript.js". How come this
never did this with Flash 8?

click file/publish settings/formats, make sure the swf and html boxes are selected, and click the use default names button. then click file/publish. are the files in your directory with your fla?
if not, create a new directory (that has no subdirectories), save your fla to that new directory using a new name (ie, click file/save as). then click file/publish. check the new directory for your 3 files.

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 Projector and Html together

Hello, what I want to do is to create a CD with a Website
that I have already done using html and flash. The problem is that
I want this CD to work in computers without Flash Player installed.
What if I create a flash projector movie that runs getUrl( )
and that html file contains flash animations, will people be able
to see them even if they do not have flash player installed?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

you can include the exe installer for the user.
Have the exe projector start, than ask whether they have or
not the player and
if they don't you could use fscommand exec to call it from cd
and install.
Macromedia allow downloads if the players for cd
distribution, you just need
to fill up a form to get the licensing which is an instant
process.
you could also have HTML with detection to check for the
player if they were
not sure whether is it or not install.
I have been doing the very same for years, flash projector as
splash screen
with all kind of add ons required for the CD, from flash
players to adobe reader
installer.

SWF and HTML files separate directories.

I am generating HTML wrapper dynamically and it runs
successfully (No JavaScript errors etc.). I right click on the page
and it displays "Print,Settings, About Flash Player"
Problem is that my SWF file which resides somewhere else on
the HTTP server is not played at all. I get a blank page. The path
to SWF was provided in HTML using an alias defined on the HTTP
config file.
If I run static HTML file in the same directory as SWF file
the page is generated OK.
Am I missing a crossdomain.xml file but everything is on the
same domain (so ruled out).
Please help.

Hi zetokore, and welcome to the Community!
You cannot separate the HTM and SWF files, so don't try.
These files are designed to be symbiotic and must be accessed from
the same location. Your "getaround" won't work because if you link
to the SWF instead of theHTM, the output will be warped ... the HTM
file contains sizing parameters for display of the SWF; so without
proper sizing, the SWF will appear warped.
In short - you'll have to live with it, because what you are
seeing is Captivate's designed behavior.
To emphasize the point: Design and record your Captivate
projects at the size they are to be displayed to the end-user ...
always! And - again always - link to the HTM file, never to the
SWF.

Flash gives me html file, Now what do I do with it?

Hi everyone,
This may seem like a stupid question, but here it is:
I've converted and published my video in Flash, and now I
have a swf file and an html file. I've noticed that if I just put
the swf file on my website, the video plays just fine but the skin
doesn't show up.
I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the html file
not being included, but I'm afraid I have no idea what to do with
it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

How do I restore my preferred icon for .htm and .html files? search keyword axolotl

When I made Firefox 3.6.2 my default browser, it changed the icons for my .htm & .html files to the fox&globe symbol - how do I change back to my old red dragon symbol? Folder options doesn't work, the icon for the file type changes in folder options, but has no effect on the icon displayed by Windows XP Explorer. Changing registry entries for DefaultIcon from ...\firefox.exe,1 to ....\mozilla.ico also failed, the WxExplorer icons changed to a generic symbol. Thanks, [email protected]
search keyword axolotl

With the help of information from user, ptressel, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032154#answer-673322 a post here about the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released], I was able to easily recover my tabs and tab groups as follows:
# close Firefox and, perhaps, allow a few seconds (30s?) for any final closing of files;
# check to see if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named like the one I documented in my original post above;
# if it is not timestamped prior to the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder;
# check if the recovery.js file is suitably timestamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
# At this point, you are likely to find that none of them are prior to your problem occuring. If so, open your backups of this folder and go through steps 2-4 to find a file prior to your problem occuring.
# When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js"
# Open Firefox. Mine opened up as desired.
This is a Windows solution. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet that as this is just a file copy and renaming, it is likely the same.
For Windows users, you may find you need to sign out and login as an administrator in order to access the backups. You need not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.
Hope that helps.

Safari and HTML Files

I created an HTML file in Text Edit and another in Microsoft Word and saved the extensions as .htm and .html
When I try to open the webpages in Safari by going to File > Open File, the HTML documents show only the source code in Safari instead of the actually webpage (with images and links).
Am I using the wrong program or are ther preferences that I need to change?

First off, you could try the free Nvu program I linked to in the reply just before yours.
In TextEdit, there are two changes you need to make in Preferences:
1. Under "New Document" set "Format" to "Plain Text.
2. Under "Open and Save", uncheck "Add '.txt' extension to plain text files".
This will make all future files you create to be plain text and will allow you to save the files using an .html extension.
If you already have files created in TextEdit, open them, select everything by clicking Command-A, and then go to Format > Make Plain Text. Save the file. You may have to rename it if it does not yet have an .html extension.
