HELP: Flash animations appear "linked" in FrontPage pages

I'm a relatively new user to Flash MX 2004.
I am creating simple UNlinked animations in Flash MX 2004,
then placing them in FrontPage 2003 web pages. Even though these
animations are not linked to any webpages, when placed in a webpage
and viewed in MSIE 6 or Firefox 1.5, the user's cursor turns into a
"hand" whenever he/she hovers over these animations, indicating
that they are linked to something. Once the user clicks on the
animation, the hand goes away. But before being clicked, the
animations appear to be linked AND they show a light "border"
around the animation. The border, like the "hand," goes away after
clicking once on the animation.
How do I get the "hand" and the "border" around the
animations to go away in a FrontPage 2003 designed web page?
Many thanks for your assistance.

when you hover over active content - i popup tooltip-like
message appears explaing you must click or
press spacebar to activate this control - when you search for
"Activate Control" or "Active Content"
then you will find millions of resources - glad you worked it
out tho.

Acrobat Help / Flash Player needed link not working

I'm trying to install the flash player addon for Adobe Reader and the links found on the adobe help page are showing error messages. When I try to download the installer, they say "no file found" and are showing
"Not Found
The requested URL /pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.exe was not found on this server."
when the link is opened. Any advice? I just need to view an audio file that was embedded in a .pdf.
My computer meets the system requirements, as well.
Thanks.

At end of flash video, automatic link to another page??

Hi, this is what I'm trying to do:
On my homepage I want a video and when the video has ended, the user gets redirected to the next page. So far I've got my video in flv format, imported it into Flash CS4 and the added video control thing. I've then exported the movie and imported it into Dreamweaver CS3. I can get it working on my website.
So basically what I now want is to add this automatic link at the end of the video. Any ideas?
Thanks, Scott

There are basically three elements to using the navigateToURL function. Here they are broken down as separate pieces...
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);
And here they are combined into one line of code
   navigateToURL(new URLRequest( "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html"));
And if you want have the content appear in the same window include "_self" in the arguments
   navigateToURL(req, "_self");
OR
   navigateToURL(new URLRequest( "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html"), "_self");

Flash in PDF: linking to another page?

Hi!
I need to add some interactive flash elements to a PDF, including some buttons that should make que document jump to a given page.
Can't find any documentation on this. How can it be done?
thanks

It's possible (and according to the SDK extremely simple) but it doesn't work. If you have a SWF on page 1 (offset 0) then calling
ExternalInterface.call("eval","this.pageNum=1");
from ActionScript is a Very Bad Idea, as the RMA is deactivated before the return value can be sent from the host to the EI handler. This kills Flash, which takes Acrobat/Reader down with it in a screaming mass of twisted metal and chocolate.
The workaround is to use EI in ActionScript to call a JS document-level function in the PDF which returns a value, but also spawns a timer-delayed function which changes the page. That way the RMA deactivation isn't coincident with the handshake, but it's messy.

Flash animation appearing as static image

I created a banner ad in Flash 8 and we have loaded it on our
site. Some people can see it and it works great, others only see
the first frame (it looks like a static image).
How can I fix this?

Post url.
You may have the movie jumping to a location before it exists
(not loaded yet). Try preloading everything first, or like I said
post the url so we can check it out.

[help] - Flash animation for i-mode mobile

Hi! ^^
I'm getting a trouble while creating a game for i-mode
mobiles (DoCoMo)
It works fine in Flash8 mobile simulator. But when I tested
it in i-mode Simulator II, I got a (big) trouble:
The animations perform not very slowly but when I hold down a
key to move the character in the game, every animations are nearly
stopped! only the character can move, and when it moves, all
animations inside it are stopped too :(
Everythings can only move again when I release the key :)
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
ah, moreover, even when I hold down a key but let the
flashplayer do nothing (i don't make the character move anymore and
let all the movieclips work it own), the animations still slow
down. It seem that the CPU spend too much time/power to process
these keyevents :(
Thanks ^o^

yeah sure, it works fine :) That's also the way I solved my
problem. Thanks again ^^
But I think this could be very complex in some kind of games.
For example: a game that has a moving background (controled by AS,
not just a simple animation), and while the background is moving,
we need to make the characters move by pressing some keys.
In this case, when the key is pressed, I need to make all the
objects move: background, characters,... So a piece of code must be
placed in the keyevent handler's functions to control the moving of
the backgorund. But it only be excuted when keypressed. So to make
the background moves all the time, another copy of that code must
be placed somewhere else.
-> There's some duplicated codes (do exactly the same
work) excuted at the same time and they may cause some problem...
It's just how I solved my problem +_+
Maybe you have a greater idea ^^
Thanks for reading! (my English is not good, heh)

Show a Flash animation frame when opening a Powerpoint presentation

Hi all,
I have a Powerpoint presentation that embeds a Flash
animation (swf file). I use Powerpoint 2003 and a Flash 9
animation.
The problem is that when the presentation is opened, no image
(in fact a frame of the Flash animation) appears on the slide that
contains the Flash object. Instead, a blank rectangle is displayed.
To make it appear, I must start the presentation in slide
show mode (here the animation is playing) and then return to
'Normal' view. The last animation image is then shown on the slide.
From now, if I save the presentation, close it and then reopen it,
no image is shown.
I have tried with different Flash animation versions and
noticed that an image is displayed for Flash animation when
compiled in Flash 7. In a Flash 8 animation, no image appears too.
It seems that a change since Flash version 8 avoids an image to be
displayed when opening the Powerpoint presentation.
Has anyone already met this ? Are there security or other
changes that will prevent a frame to be displayed when opening the
presentation ? Any ideas or Internet links will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Dave and thanks for the answer.
My embedded movie is playing well when we start the slideshow
mode for the presentation, because it uses the installed activeX
component (version 9 installed) to render it.
My problem is that no image (ie the last movie frame
displayed before exiting the slide show) is displayed the next time
the presentation opens, even if the file is saved.
Did you mean that, because the activeX version is newer than
the PowerPoint 2003 release date, the PowerPoint application is not
able to get the image (frame) the next time the presentation opens
(that is, the image to display is embedded into the activeX at a
specific location, which has changed between Flash player version 7
and 8) ?
PS: 1) I have opened the Flash 8 presentation in PowerPoint
2007 and an image is shown on the slide, which might confirm that
PowerPoint 2003 is too old to find the frame to be displayed.
2) I searched into the in-line/off-line documentation and I
found no paragraph speaking of the Flash version limitation.
Let me know if I am right.
Thanks again for the time taken to answer me.

Flash ghosting when link clicked

Hi all
I have a somewhat strange issue, which is only experienced
thus far when viewing the back in IE6.
The
page in question
Whenever you navigate away from this page, whether it be
simply Refreshing the page, clicking on an HTML link or a link
within the flash file, there is a duplicate of the flash that
appears briefly on the page, slightly above its correct/current
position.
Here is an
example of it happening
Any ideas what is causing this, and what can be done to
resolve it?
Many thanks

Hello,
There is an example of that right plus code here.

Add a link to page option with flash animations??

Hello, I see that you have an option for images if you insert an image, you have a link to html page option
But if you insert a flash animation , there is no link option?
as some research i have found that I have to do it i flash itself.
Why did you not create a link option for flash animations? as you have with images, a link option would be great for flash animations also
Is there a code I can do in dreamweaver to link flash animations to a page.
thanks, I dont know why dreamweaver flash animations does not have a link option? please put it in next release
thanks

flash animations not visible on phone devices ? i see flash animations fine from my phone
Don't know what phone you use or if what you're seeing is actually Flash, but Apple iDevices don't support Flash. Never have and never will.
     http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
Adobe has stopped further Flash development for mobile devices in favor of HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript. See Adobe Edge Preview.
     http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
Finally, from where I sit, Flash is a fading web technology. But if it floats your boat, feel free to make a feature request.

How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8

Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
8, and others in a short time. My question is,
I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
www.fatcatzcreative.com
I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
Thanks in advance to all.

HTML cannot link Flash.
If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
file's
actionscript and add the links there.

Flash/Flash Player will not open link to web page when clicked

Hi there, I am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website. When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the link! I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it still does not work! I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows. HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page. If it helps I am on a MAC using Snow Leopard and I am using Flash CS3.

Go to this link:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
Go to global security settings.
Click browse for folder, go to your drive root (or the folder where your swf/fla is and select it. You should see that folder get added to the security exception list. Re-test tell me what happens.
Thanks,
Jesse
