Html links target another movieClip in same movie

OK, here's what I am trying to do. I have figured out how to
read in an html file and format it (somewhat) with CSS in flash. I
need to have the links in the html open in a separate movieClip,
etc. on the same page. Picture one column of html text with links
to content that appears in column 2. Is this possible? I am at a
loss and have a serious deadline approaching!
BTW, does anyone know what the trick is to set line-height on
html text in Flash? I was very excited to learn that Flash allows
the use of CSS to format html text in Flash. That is until I
learned that the set of CSS attributes is SEVERLY limited. There is
no line-height attribute!!! DUH!!! What kind of stupidity says
"Let's allow the use of CSS, but only a few attributes."
Thanks,

that's possible, but you can't use a html file and expect its
links to work like that. you can use the asfunction() to have links
in (column 1) text execute actionscript that affects content in
column 2.

  • How to link to another page in same application?

    I think I have a brain fog right now. Cause I can't figure this out.
    I would like to link to another page in the same application by way of just an arbitrary word in a paragraph.
    I am not trying to pass any values. I am not using a button or a text item.
    How can I make a link out of a word?
    Thanks much,
    Maggie

    Hi Maggie!
    I imagine myself, that you have a html text and you want to have a hyperlink to another page in your application.
    For instance you have a text like: "I want to create a hyperlink to a page"
    Now, if your mouse passes the word "hyperlink", you want to see that magic 'hand'.
    First copy the URL of the target page: something like this -> "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=100:2:3122716493255005::NO:::"
    Than change your html text in this way:
    I want to create a hyperlink to a page
    I hope, it helps

  • Click targets another SWF on same HTML page to animate

    Hi,
    I want to create 2 separate SWF's placed in specific locations on an HTML page. When you click on the one SWF it targets the other SWF to animate. Is this possible, and if so, how? Please note, I am not an expert actionscripter!
    Here is a basic idea of how it should work (this being just one SWF): http://www.ramsaymedia.co.za/mail/bizcommunity_banners/test.html

    You need a Flash player that supports a playlist.  If you're good with Flash and Action Script you could build a custom player.  If not, pick-one from the links below:
    Wimpy Rave simple to deploy, dirt simple to update playlists by uploading media to wimpy folder.

  • Target Flash Movieclip from HTML Link - Feasible?

    Is it possible to target a specific movieclip within an swf
    that's embedded on an external html page using an HTML link? Or is
    this a stretch? It seems like this would be feasible but I've hit a
    wall on this one.

    No. Google search for FLV grabbers.

  • How Do I Make HTML Links Open in Same Window?

    Hi
    How on earth do I get the HTML links inside a flash movie open up in the same browser window where said movie is embedded in (As opposed to opening up as a new pop-up windows)? Here is the code I have inside each of the buttons I have inside my flash movie:
    var link7:URLRequest=new URLRequest("videos/december.html");
    videos_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked7);
    function buttonClicked7(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(link7);

  • Creating a database link to another schema in the same database

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a database link to another schema in the same database. It was created without errors, but when I try to use it I receive "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" message...
    I'm trying to do it because on my production enviroment the databases are separated, so there I can use database links without problem, but in my development environment it's all in one database separated by schemas...
    So I'm trying to simulate the same system to not need to rewrite the query every time I move from development to production environment.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Yes, you can create a database link to your own database. I've done it before for exactly the same reason you want to.
    (By the way, I think it's a good reason. What are the alternatives?
    Having different versions of code for Development and Production? Absolutely not! Terrible idea!
    Using synonyms or substitution variables that are set differently in the different databases? That might be more efficient than a database link, but efficiency probably isn't such a big issue in Development.
    [Conditional compilation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/fundamentals.htm#sthref250]? This might be good; it has all the efficienty of the above options, with more clarity.)
    Assuming you do want to stick with a database link, not all errors are caught when you create the link.
    Is the Development database in the tnsnames.ora file of the Development server? Do you have other database links, either in the Development server or pointing to it, that work? What is different about the ones that work, and the one that doesn't?
    Edited by: Frank Kulash on Oct 14, 2009 1:58 PM
    The more I think about this, the more I agree with the earlier respondent: synonymns are a good solution for this.
    To that suggestion you replied:
    On this way I might use "select * from SCHEMA.table" instead of "select * from table@SCHEMA"... I looking for an option to use the second way...Actually, the suggestion was that you say:
    select  *
    from    SCHEMA_table_ptr;where schema_table_ptr is a synonym.
    In Development, that synonym is defined as schema.table.
    In Production, that synonym is defined as table@SCHEMA
    Why are you "looking for an option to use the second way"?
    If you think that people reading the code should realize that the query is being done via a database link (at least in Production), then add a comment.

  • How to make link to another wiki page open in same WebCenter window

    I have a WebCenter wiki page that contains a Flash object. Within the Flash object, there's a link to another wiki page that is in the same group space. When I click on the link, however, it opens another Webcenter window within (inside) the original one instead of opening the destination wiki page in place of the current one. In effect, I end up seeing two navbars at the top and left.
    How do I fix this problem?

    Brilliant, Jon. Thank you so much. For those of you who stumble on this, I did have a tiny bit of trouble when I edited the actionscript; the video didn't play as expected. After trial and error, this is the code that worked both in playing the video and opening up in the same browser window:
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.paris-pet.com/home.html"),"_self");
    The difference seems to be this:  ")     before the comma prior to "_self");
    Again, Jon -- thanks!

  • Why can't I use 2 scrolling movieclips in the same movie?

    Hi all,
    I've created a couple of sites now that both use scrolling
    movieclips...
    If there is one scrolling mc, it works fine but as soon as I
    add another (using the same code and instance names - just a
    different mc) the up buttons fail to work properly. I've tried
    changing the instance names but it makes no difference.
    Does anyone know why this happens? Is it a bug in Flash 8? Is
    there a way round this?
    Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.
    Take care,
    Mark

    hi there,
    many thanks for the reply.
    it might be easier to see what i'm doing rather than actually
    describing it...
    i've uploaded my fla
    here. the
    unlocked layers on the main timeline are the ones of interest.
    have you had this problem before? if you test the movie and
    select a section with the scrollbars (ie. the gallery) it just
    jumps to a random place for no apparent reason!
    thank you very much once again.
    all the best,
    mark

  • Linking to another page (sheet) in the same workbook?

    Hi,
    Can somebody please confirm that Numbers does NOT offer the possiblity to have a hyperlink linking to another sheet within the same workbook?
    I have a few switchers at my office who couldn't get it to work, and I couldn't find any info about it either, so now they have to work in Office 2003 within Windows, just because of this
    Thanks.

    In the current version of Numbers, hyperlinks are limited to opening web pages in browsers & email messages in email client applications. Even if a new, enhanced version honored a wider range of URL's, say of the "file://" type, they would probably open a new window in an appropriate application.
    As I don't believe individual sheets in a Numbers document have URL's (or URI's?), it is unlikely that an enhanced hyperlink feature would be suitable for what you want to do.
    You can, of course, quickly move between sheets by clicking on their names in the "Sheets" pane, so perhaps a combination of descriptive sheet names & text boxes in selected sheets saying something like "Click 'Sales' to see more' would be an acceptable workaround.

  • Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

    Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

    Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

    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.
