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

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 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.

Modify flash movie from HTML form

so here is what I have:
I have a flash movie and as the flash movie plays there are
elements that say things like, "Your company name here" or "Your
title here", or "Your Product Picture here" etc.
From an HTML form (I can do all this part) I would want
someone to be able to specify their customized information and
SOMEHOW that would end up in the Flash movie. I would like to know
whether I need special software to create these. I ultimately need
have the final product be a .swf with the form-entered information
like Company Name, etc.
I don't know what I need in order to do this. I'm basically
info-gathering. Ask any questions if I am leaving anything out that
might help you help me identify what we need.
Thanks in advance.

no. none from me. i honestly dont have the first clue

JSP and HTML forms

Hi, I have been trying to work out a way to label rows of a dynamic html form, which can then be referenced by jsp. The project is a uni one in which we are building an online book store. At the moment, we have made a search for out database, the resultant table's size is obviously done on how many results there are. ONce the results are up, for every book, there is a text box, the name of which is the ISBN of that particular book (unique code every book has, thus the primary key). This text box is going to be used so that the 'customers' can enter in a number, which will be how many copies of this book they want.
This jsp files needs to be referenced by another, so we can send a cookie to the user's computer with book details. unfortunately, in order to know which book, and how many, the user wants, we need to know the name of the check box from the first jsp file, which we cannot hardcode because due to the dynamic nature of the form will be different every time!
Are we going about things the wrong way, because I cant seem to work out a way to do this.
Thanks,
Alex

Regardless of how many results are returned, the name of your checkbox will always be the same... that's just the nature of a list of checkboxes. What changes is the values of each individual checkbox, which can be retrieved using
String[] booksChecked = request.getParameterValues("books")where "books" is the name of your checkbox.
If each book has a unique ID, then probably use this value as the value of the checkbox, and then you receive an array of IDs.
To dynamically handle the quantity boxes, name each textbox with the unique key plus an extra bit of text..
<input type="text" name="<%= book.ID%>qty">
Then you can retrieve the quantity for each book by using..
for(int i=0; i < booksChecked.length; i++)
String qty = request.getParameter(booksChecked[i]+"qty");
}Hope this is what you're looking for :)

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!
Raf

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.

Linking between Flash, pdf and html

How to link from Flash to certain page in pdf document
displaying in web browser?
this is not working:
on (release) {
getURL("interfaces.pdf#example", "_self");
neither: #nameddest=example, #page=2
This works though from html, but only first time. If you surf
beck and then go to the same link it doesnt navigate to that page!
Any idea very appreciated!
Thanx

Hi Raymond,
To respond to your question:
Would I have to create two regions with each region the same chart one in Flash and one in HTML and Hide/Show the region depending on the platform I am running eg iPAD or Desktop?
No, this isn't necessary at all. One chart region with a "Chart Rendering" setting of "Flash Chart" on the Chart Attributes page will do the trick. With APEX 4.2, we introduced HTML5 chart support using AnyChart, our existing supplier of Flash charts in APEX. One of the great features of their new HTML5 charting support is how they handle the rendering of a chart. If you take a look at AnyChart's documentation on the rendering options available as part of their HTML5 support, http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/migration-guide.html#from-5.1.x-to-6.x-rendering-types, there are 4 possible rendering options available. We declaratively support two of those options in APEX:
AnyChart Rendering Option       Associated APEX "Chart Rendering" setting
FLASH_PREFERRED                 Flash Chart
SVG_ONLY                        HTML5 ChartSo if you choose to generate a "Flash Chart" in APEX 4.2, AnyChart will handle the rendering of that chart for you, depending upon whether Flash is found on the device or not. Where Flash is detected, a Flash chart is rendered, however if Flash isn't detected (e.g. on devices such as an iPad), then a HTML5 chart will be rendered. So there's nothing additional for you to do - no need for two regions on your page with two different charts. If you choose to generate a "HTML5 Chart", then a HTML5 chart will always be rendered - this is no fallback to Flash with this option.
I hope this helps to clarify things for you.
Regards,
Hilary

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 Player and HTML

Client is looking to display some videos and information
within a flash
player. Since flash files cannot be read well by search
engines, it is
possible to have the flash player generate either an
html/text or RSS file
along with the video file? Thus I would anticipate that when
a video and
information about say an Inn is created/published that an
html/text/rss file
is also generated that describes what is in the video file?
Is this possible? If it is, can someone please point me to
some
documentation?
Thanx
David

No. Flash Player cannot render or generate a file. To create
files you
would need the assistance of a serverside script such as cfm,
php, asp, cgi
or perl.
You can manually input into the html code the text and any
other information
you like that is used in the swf just before the object tag.

Flash menus and html

Hi. I have a question that I hope won't be too complicated. I
have two Flash objects (A Top horizontal bar and a Flash menu)
inside a number of html web pages: <
http://www.mikelrouse.com/>
What I'd like is that the Flash objects not reload every time
you selct a new page. I think there are two ways to do this: 1.
Have the whole site as a Flash document (probably to difficult for
me right now) or
2. I've seen sites where a new html page is loaded but the
menus and/or Flash opjects seem to "stay in place", meaning they're
not reloading each time.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to do this in
Dreamweaver?
I would oh so grateful. Thanks in advance!

Go to the Flash forum for this.

Flash image and html pages

I do have an SWF sequence of images in the main html page. In
the second page I do have sections. Each section has a title of an
image of the SWF file. The role of this section is to describe the
image.
I trying to whenever I click on each image of the SWF in the
main page, I should be directed to its description in the second
page, meaning, that the second page should be loaded and its scroll
down bar should go down and stop where the specific section
(describing the image I’ve just clicked on) starts.

Flash anchors and html links

forgive my ignorance, i am new to all this...
i have made a flash movie that i want to be able to link to
from an external html file. i managed to get this to work by using
flash anchors - not as hard as i would have thought, hurrah! but
when i use the links, while it jumps to the correct spot in my
movie, the rest of the buttons in my flash movie stop working so i
can't navigate within it any longer.
i don't understand why this happens because the movie works
fine when i don't access it via the html links..
help!!!

Thanks for response.
Yea you all are right I have the stand alone version. Looking through the different versions link -> http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage&CategoryID=55985400
What version would I need to enable flash compiling. At this point I can live with PPT compiling, but would like to know how much I would need to spend if I need the option.
Thanks,
Arun

Character Encoding for JSPs and HTML forms

After having read loads of postings on character encoding problems I'm still puzzled about the following problem:
I have an instance (A) of WL 8.1 SP3 on a WinXP machine and another instance (B) of WL 8.1 without any SP on a Win2K machine. The underlying Windows locale is english(US) in both cases.
The same application deployed as a war file to these instances does not behave in the same way when it comes to displaying non-Latin1-characters like the Euro symbol: Whereas (A) shows and accepts these characters as request-parameters, (B) does not.
Since the war file is the same (weblogic.xml, jsps and everything), the reason for this must either be the service-pack-level or some other configuration setting I overlooked.
Any hints are appreciated!

Try this:
Prefrences -> Content -> Fonts & Color -> Advanced
At the bottom, choose your Encoding.

Flash Pro cs5.5, MySQL, login and registration form

Hi.
I just started to use Adobe Flash CS5.5 and i want to make my new homepage based on flash. Only problem at the moment is that i don't know how to make flash login and registration form what takes data from MySQL. I am messed with this about 3 days but without any results(form is done, but don't know how to make it communicate with MySQL).
Sorry for my bad english.
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance for helping.

You should really start by some literature if you can't even draw a form. I don't mean to be cruel but otherwise you'll never learn flash. If you like the technology, start from the start like everybody else. If you'll have some questions, or will be confused about something you learned, I'll be happy to explain it to you. But don't expect people to program your app for you - this is not learning.
You can start with adobe tv: http://tv.adobe.com/search/?q=flash&product=17&topic=0&version=10&sortby=relevancy
