How do I get the SWF file to send a variable to HTML file

I am new to flash and trying to figure out how this is working. I have a task to upgrade a web site. I have a map of ND with some cities on it. I needed to add a new city to the SWF which did not seem to be hard (asuming I did it correct). The action on all the buttons for each city look like this except the name after the # is the city selected.
on (release)
    getURL("locations_info.html#minot", "location_content");
In HTML code snip that controls this looked like this :
                      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="627" height="400">
                        <param name="movie" value="flash/map.swf">
                        <param name="quality" value="high">
                        <embed src="flash/map.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="627" height="400"></embed>
                      </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                      <td align="left" valign="top"><IFRAME src="locations_info.html" name="location_content" width="627" height="190" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></IFRAME></td>
                      </tr>
                  </table>                 
                  </td>
snip from the locations_info.html file looks like:
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="687" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">
      <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="top"><p class="maintext12"> </p>
          <p class="maintext12"><strong><a name="minot"></a>Minot/Home Office</strong><br>
            408 20th Ave SW, Suite 101, Minot, N.D. 58701<br>
            Main line: (701) 852-5383<br>
            Toll Free: (800) 735-4955<br>

          <p> </p>
Can someone help me understand way when I run this from my system it should load and address information for the correct city from the locations_info.html file but it doesn't. Nothing shows up..
Jeanne

If all of the other getURL() directives in the movie use the same syntax for the named anchor link then that part should be OK. In the html document, locations_info, again, if all of the named anchors look like the one that you listed, then you may just need to clear your cache to get the new anchor to work.
The a name="XXX" anchor is being depricated in some browsers. You can use id="XXX", or both, instead. Although if one works, they should all work.

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?
    I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
    What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
    All sales are final and there are no refunds.
    Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

    How can I get the lesson files for Aperture 3.2.4?

    They are only available on the original Installer dvd with the boxed retail version.

  • When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

    When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

    I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
    Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create  Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
    I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

  • I downloaded microsoft office to my MBP and my question is how do i get the right file or operating system to open it and so that i can use it?

    i downloaded microsoft office to my MBP and my question is how do i get the right file or operating system to open it and so that i can use it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    There are two Office versions: Office for Windows, and Office for Mac.
    I suspect that you have downloaded Office for Windows, and you can use it if you install Windows, but a cheaper and easiest way to use Office is to use Office for Mac, so you won't have to install Windows. See > http://www.microsoft.com/mac

  • Teststand 1.03 - How can I get the sequence file path into an expression?

    The sequence file will be located at different locations on different computers. I need the base address of the sequence file to get to the correct limits file. How can I get the sequence file path into a string-local expression.
    Thanks

    As Ray described, the FindFile expression function and TS API method will seach all TS search directories and return to you the path of your file, assuming the file is located in the search directories.
    If you just want the path of a TS file that you have a reference to then there is a faster, easier method. You can use the Path property of the PropertyObjectFile class. In the attached example I use an AcitiveX Automation adapter step to call Path on the property RunState.SequenceFile. This returns the path to the current executing sequence file. Note that if you have not yet saved the sequence file then the path will be empty. In a subsequence step I strip off the file name leaving the root path of the file.

  • How to set/get the archive file attribute?

    I am programing a (freeware!) ftp client and need to know, how to set/get the archive attribute of a local file. I was searching through whole the i-net - nothing at all!
    please help me!!

    Hi,
    Since not all operating systems support the archive attribute, this ain't included in the JDK.
    If you're using Microsoft Foundation Classes for Java, then you can use File.getAttributes(String path) and check whether the result equals FileAttribute.ARCHIVE.
    For setting the attribute, you can use
    File.setAttributes(String path, FileAttribute.ARCHIVE)
    Of course this is all Microsoft-specific stuff.
    Hope this helps,
    Kurt.

  • How do i get the cdg file for karaoke purchases

    hi i was wondering i have purchased some karaoke albums using itunes and was wondering how i get the cdg files that goes with them in order to use them for karaoke??

    voodoo2k10 wrote:
    even when you purchase the full cd from a karaoke company eg zoom avid sunfly etc ?
    Since you say "purchased some karaoke albums using itunes," I thought your question was about the iTunes Store. If you are asking about commercial Karaoke CDs, you cannot use them in iTunes.
    so they are not cdg just mp3 backing tracks ??
    The ones from the iTunes Store are instrumental backing tracks in AAC format.

    I Lost of my document saved in my previous adobe after upgraded itunes, can I get the lost file again?

    Would you provide more information so that we can troubleshoot the problem?
    Are you saying that your PDF documents on your iPad/iPhones are lost because you updated Apple iTunes (not Adobe Reader)?  Do you see anything in the Documents or Recents section of the Adobe Reader home screen?

  • How can I get the lib files which supported jsf?

    In one book , That introduce me to get the lib files from a jsf folder ,after you install the jwsdk1.3 ,now ,I installed the 1.5,but I cann't find this jsf folder.where I can get these lib files ? Thanks very much.

    Try data rescue or some other program. However, before proceeding turn off TM and avoid that muck up the next time you connect. AFAIK, however, it shouldn't have happened without a dialog box popping up allowing you to not use it for TM.

  • How can I get a swf file to load...

    Not sure if this is the place to ask this but I have a swf file embeded in a web page design.
    Now here’s the issue, the client wants to add more photos to it making it even larger.
    I would prefer not to make it larger but create 2 or 3 swf files that would randomly load when the webpage is refreshed or reloaded.
    Is there a way to code a random swf loading in HTML?
    Would I use javascript? I googled and found nothing on the subject.
    Thank you

    If you know JavaScript (ECMA Script) then you might be able to get it done applying a for loop and a random function
    to the for loop if you know how to get a page-loaded request into JavaScript.
    But an easier solution, if you know ActionScript 3.0, and if your SWF's don't need to be recoded and can load into a "container" SWF would be to create a master FLA file that loads your SWF's in a random fashion using Math.random() as a multiplier, though you won't see much variation if you only have 2-3 SWF's to load--if you had more than that then you would begin to benefit from the random function's capabilities.  In ActionScript 3.0 use the load() method along with addChild() to load the SWF and add it to the stage.  You will be able to search for specifics on how to code the FLA properly by using Flash's Adobe Help tool and also using an internet search.
    -markerline
    P.S. Once you have the master FLA coded you can Publish it to an SWF and an HTML and if the container/master SWF needs to be in a page with other content you can simply copy and paste the object and embed tags for the container SWF from the published HTML into any place on your master HTML that you need it to reside.  You can then use CSS to control placement of the SWF object if it is in a div tag.

    I was wondering you can help me.
    I am currently receiving an *.xls reports on a daily basis (same report, same format, different data). I have put this report into Crystal Xcelcius Designer 4.5 Professional version and created the dashboard I want.
    I am aware of the xml mapping functionality where I can map from the *.swf straight to a database. However, is it possible to map to an xls file that will change on a daily basis? (obviously I can you the refresh button in Designer, but I need to automate this process).
    Your help really would be appreciated.
