GotoAndStop - linking from a movieclip to another

Hey!
I´m working on a project and i want a button in a movieclip to link back to a frame in another movieclip when pressed.
How can I make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Alexsim

use the correct path to your movieclip. it's not possible to give more specific advice without specific info about the parent/child relationship of the movieclip you want to reference and your code's timeline.

Linking from one PDF to another: Is there a more efficient way?

Some background first:
We make a large catalog (400pages) in Indesign and it's updated every year. We are a wholesale distributor and our pricing changes so we also make a price list with price ref # that corresponded with #s printed in the main catalogue. Last year we also made this catalog interactive so that a pdf of it could be browsed using links and bookmarks. This is not too difficult using Indesign and making any adjustments in the exported PDF. Here is the part that becomes tedious and is especially so this year:
We also set up links in the main catalog that go to the price list pdf - opening the page with the item's price ref # and prices... Here's my biggest issue - I have not found any way to do this except making links one at a time in Acrobat Pro (and setting various specifications like focus and action and which page (in the price list) to open) Last year this wasn't too bad because we used only one price list. It still took some time to go through and set up 400-500 links individually.
This year we've simplified our linking a little by putting only one link per page but that is still 400 links. And this year I have 6 different price lists (price tiers...) to link to the main catalogue pdf. (That's in the neighborhood of 1200-1500 double clicking the link(button) to open Button Properties, click Actions tab, click Add..."Go to page view" , set link to other pdf page, click edit, change Open in to "New Window" and set Zoom. This isn't a big deal if you only have a few Next, Previous, Home kind of buttons....but it's huge when you have hundreds of links. Surely there's a better way?
Is there anyway in Acrobat or Indesign to more efficiently create and edit hundreds of links from one pdf to another?
If anything is unclear and my question doesn't make sense please ask. I will do my best to help you answer my questions.
Thanks

George, I looked at the article talking about the fdf files and it sounds interesting. I've gathered that I could manipulate the pdf links by making an fdf file and importing that into the PDF, correct?
Now, I wondered - can I export an fdf from the current pdf and then change what is in there and import it back into the pdf. I've tried this (Forms>More Form Options>Manage Form Data>Export Data) and then opened the fdf in a text editor but I see nothing related to the documents links... I assume this is because the links are 'form' data to begin with - but is there away to export something with link data like that described in the article link you provided?
Thanks

Setting up a link from a grid to another page

All,
Is there a way to create a link from a grid to another page?
Thanks.

You will need to find a tutorial for a drop down or cascading menu. What you should try is to Google "AS2 drop down menu tutorial" and "AS2 cascading menu tutorial". You may not find exactly what you are describing, but will hopefully find something you can figure out how to adapt to meet your goals.

AS3: Tween from one MovieClip to Another

Hi!
As the title implies, I'm trying to use ActionScript 3 to tween from one movieclip to another based on an external event.
I'm currently using two "Tween" objects to adjust alpha values. The first tweens-out the previous movieclip, and the second tweens-in the current movieclip. Code follows, with headers included for completeness:
// headers
     import fl.transitions.Tween;
     import fl.transitions.easing.*;
// tweens
     var MOVIECLIP1_out:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP1, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 1, 0, 3, true);
          var MOVIECLIP2_in:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP2, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
My issue, as you might suspect, is that the transition doesn't look right. The previous clip tweens to a blank white screen, and then the second is brought in. I need the tweens to overlap, as they would with a timeline-based tween.
How do I remedy this? My solution was to create a loop, from 0 to 1 incrementing by 0.2, and setting the respective alpha values to increase and decrease. I also planned to set the time for each tween to one-tenth (0.1) of a second:
    var _out1: 1
    var _out2: 0.8
    var _in1: 0
    var _in2: 0.2
while (_in1 <= 1)
    var MOVIECLIP1_out:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP1, "alpha", Regular.easeout, _out1, _out2, 0.1, true);
    var MOVIECLIP2_in:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP2, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, _in1, _in2, 0.1, true);
    _out1 = _out1 - 0.2;
    _out2 = _out2 - 0.2;
    _in1 = _in1 + 0.2;
    _in2 = _in2 + 0.2;
This would result in ten total tweens, over one full second, as follows:
time : Clip : alpha change
0.1 : MOVIECLIP1 : 1 to 0.8
0.1 : MOVIECLIP2 : 0 to 0.2
0.1 : MOVIECLIP1 : 0.8 to 0.6
0.1 : MOVIECLIP2 : 0.2 to 0.4
0.1 : MOVIECLIP1 : 0.6 to 0.4
0.1 : MOVIECLIP2 : 0.4 to 0.6
0.1 : MOVIECLIP1 : 0.4 to 0.2
0.1 : MOVIECLIP2 : 0.6 to 0.8
0.1 : MOVIECLIP1 : 0.2 to 0
0.1 : MOVIECLIP2 : 0.8 to 1
And the transition is complete.
I feel that there must be a smarter way to accomplish this task. Do I have my head screwed on right here? Any suggestions?

I think that I posted this in the wrong forum... maybe an admin can move this to the AS3 section?
Anyway, in the absence of an answer, I coded the following, and it works pretty well. I had to round the alpha values to the tenths place.
YOURBUTTON.addEventListener
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void
    var _out1:Number = 1;
    var _out2:Number = 0.8;
    var _in1:Number = 0;
    var _in2:Number = 0.2;
while (_in2 <= 1)
    var MOVIECLIP1_out:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP1, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, _out1, _out2, 1, true);
    var MOVIECLIP2_in:Tween = new Tween(MOVIECLIP2, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, _in1, _in2, 1, true);
    _out1 = int((_out1 - 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;
    _out2 = int((_out2 - 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;
    _in1 = int((_in1 + 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;
    _in2 = int((_in2 + 0.2 + 0.05)*10)/10;

Link from one application to another, without having to log-in the 2nd time

I figured out how to link from one app to another.
But I don't know how to avoid the 2nd log-in.
Do I just delete the log-in page for the 2nd application?
Thanks
Marion

Marion:
If the 2 applications are in the same workspace you can follow the method described in this thread (3rd post)

Link from a report to another report

Hi all,
I have created a report called GROUPS with GROUPNO as the first column. And I have another report based on SQL query that shows the details for a group and takes the GROUPNO as an input variable. I have created a link from the first report to the second report.
The problem is that when I run the first report, and when I click on the GROUPNO from the list of groups, the target report is called but no rows are selected. When I point the mouse cursor to one of the GROUPNO, and I look at the breowser status bar, I see that the p_arg_names containts the parameter name but the p_arg_values is empty.
Any help?

Hi Sharmila,
The mapping is already done and the p_arg_names in the status bar shows the p_arg_names=groupno , only the p_arg_values is not taking the value in the field groupno which cause the target report to fail.

Do we need to merge in order to link from one project to another

We are working on setting up a new webhelp system using RH 7.
The application for which we are writing incorporates numerous
large "modules," each of which we expect to have its own help
project containing 100-200 topics (page-level, context-sensitive
help).
Each help project will reside in its own folder. All of the
help project folders will, in turn, reside in one main "Online
Help" folder.
Is there a way to link from a topic in one project to a topic
in another project *without* merging the projects? Our aim is to
re-use information by creating common topics (such as "Using the
XYZ Product Toolbars" or "Options for Saving Your Data"), storing
them in *one* project only, and then linking to these common topics
from other the other projects as needed.
In HTML help you can do this. But I don't know about WebHelp.
I was looking at the Snippets feature, but I'm not sure that
accomplishes what we want. Our main concern is to maintain common
topics in one place only and not have to worry about multiple
copies of topics floating around.
Thanks very much for any assistance with this.

Snippets reside within a project so the nearest you would get
is maintaining them in one project, importing them and reimporting
whenever you make a change.
To create links to topics in other projects without importing
I think the only way to do it would be to manually enter the
relative path as it will be between the two outputs. Will you
always know that?
I don't understand why you don't want to go to merged help as
it looks like your scenario is just crying out for it?

Copying a link from one page to another in safari

Hi
I am trying to copy a link from one one page to another, it will let me copy but not paste, any solutions?

In Inspector go to Link and select Link To: One of My Pages. You will be able to select the blog page.

How do I can link from one MXML to another in the same project?

I planned to create a login page separated in my new Flex
application. Maybe I am too attached to the WEB philosophy but I
prefer to do it in that way. The login page will simply validate
the login through a call to a CFC. While the CFC will also create
the session variables I will need over the navigation of the user
(once the login is validated), the variables (or more specifically
the values of those variables) will serve as reference during the
user's navigation. And those values are contains in the ColdFusion
Session and can be accessed through CFCs.
If the login is a success, I need to redirect the user to the
appropriate page (in my case, the application is a help desk system
so if the user is identified as a technician will go to the
technician.mxml or if the user is identified as a sysadmin, will go
to the sysadmin.mxml - simple as that). Now, I know it is possible
to redirect using ExternalInterface.call function but is there
anything more specific to Flex redirection from one MXML to
another? Just like classes (where you can create dependency of a
child classe to is parent)?
Thank you

I finally decided to use simply the method
ExternalInterface.call to do this and it works fine! I passed
parameters through the URL and I actually created CFM page that
contains a copy of the HTML code generated by FlexBuilder (the CFM
page give me the possibility to deal with the parameters).
But I though that Flex can actually call another Flex and
passing parameters directly without passing by the HTML page
itself. A kind of memory scope but I guess I wish too much!!!

Is it possible to link from one folio to another?

My editor would like to link from an article in one folio to an article published in a previous month's folio. Is this do-able?

How about this?

How can I create an anchor link, from one table to another?

I want to make an .html web page with two tables, side by side. In the left table I want to put a list of names. In the right table I want to have text anchored at the top of the right table (linked anchor to the names in the left table) so that when I click on a name from the list in the left table the text associated with that name will appear at the top of the table on the right? In the right table, I want to be able to scroll up and down to read the text in the right table. In the left table I want the list to remain near the top of the page while I'm scrolling up and down in the right table. I want the list on the left always in view and stationary while I'm scrolling through the text in the right column.
I tried just anchoring text to the top of the right column (without linking the anchor to a different html file) but when I scrolled down in the right table, the whole page scrolled down so that I could no longer see the list of names in the left column.
How can I achieve this effect? Do I need to anchor to another html file, or can I achieve the result without linking to a different html file?
Thanks,
George

Iframes should be in there, but they only show up when you're in code view. But all it does anyways is place the frame tags where your cursor is. You'll also need to add some properties, such as width and what not. A quick google for iframe properties will provide plenty of examples. Like a regular frame, it displays a separate a html page which must be referenced in the properties. A named anchor as we know is part of the link which can be used onnthe same page, or open another page to a certain location. So it's just a matter of formatting the link so it targets and includes the iframe as well as the other attributes. I'm pretty sure it's doable and not too difficult, but again, a quick google shold provide the answer.

Is there a way to link from one application to another? Like Hyperlink but instead of cyberspace just internal. Application linking.

In "Pages" you can Hyper Link a word or phrase by going to Inspector Link highlight the word or pharse click on "Enable as a hyperlink" and then place a URL address. The highlighted word or phrase will now be blue and anytime I click on it I will be taken the the URL address.
What I want to do is that exacltly, but I want to able to link a word or a phrase to another internal Mac application.
Example from Pages to Logos Bible Software.

Feature not available.
Hyperlinks and bookmarks are used in documents that will be viewed onscreen, either as HTML files or as Pages documents. You can add hyperlinks to jump to another page or to open an email message or a webpage on the Internet. Use bookmarks to mark passages in the document that you want to refer to as you work.
This I found in the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, on pagge 110.

Is it possible to link from a folio to another (precisions inside) ?

Hello !
Is it possible to linkf rom a folio to another ?
And is it possible to do this linking : in "FOLIO#1 article#32" put a link on it that goes to "FOLIO#3 article#17"
Thanx for your answers !

m'kay, dunno if I'll use this "you didn't hear it from me" feature, cause i got to link 80 articles in 3 folios (each time), and i'd beter find a solution that works everytime.
Means, gotta put all this in a single folio. WIll be a mess, but i got to have to have it working in the end ...
Still, I wonder why it is so hard to have "basic links" like "navto://folioname1:article2" ?
Especially in cases (like this one, actually) where i'm the only one to use this on my content viewer and in my folio producer (but in all case would be even better of course).
Thanx for your answer anyway !

Link from a JSP to another flow in portlet

I'm trying to create a link in a flow portlet, from a JSP page to another flow. I can't use <netui:anchor action="[action name]">, because I want to jump to another controller. I've tried <netui:anchor href="/[another controller package]/[action in another controller].do"> and indeed, this one is transformed by a portal framework. The problem is that this transformed URL is pointing to a new action and â€¦ an old controller. After clicking this link I'm obviously getting "action not found" error.
The question is â€“ how to create a link in JSP from one flow controller the other.
Unfortunately, manual for jsp tags is not ready for beta 9.2, so it's hard to find a place to refer toâ€¦.
Best regards,
Pawel Kozlowski

I am taking out <render:pageURL> and <render:windowURL>
They are available with
<%@taglib uri="http://www.bea.com/servers/portal/tags/netuix/render" prefix="render"%>
You can use these to go to a different page. If that page has a the pageflow you needed, it will go to the begin action of that pageflow on that page

AS3: Alpha Tween from one MovieClip to Another

Hi folks,
Using AS3, how do I create an alpha tween from one movie clip to another?
My thinking is that I can't use the timeline, because the fade is variable and event driven; e.g., the user clicks on one of many pics, and the stage alpha tweens from the current to the clicked. But maybe I'm wrong.
Any suggestions?
tyvm!

Look into the AS3 Tween class. If you need to coordinate the tweening based on one tweening out before the other tweens in, then you will also want to look into having event listeners in play to detect when the tween finishes.
Here's a link to a sample file I created to help demo things:
