Hyperlinking within a flash document

I'm trying to create a link (using CS3) in flash from text in
one SWF file to a specific labeled frame in another SWF in the same
directory. How is this possible?

mmm, ok, i appreciate your help, but its still not working.
Here's the actionscript code I created:
SalmonCanBtn.onRelease = function() {
loadMovieNum("select-spacers.swf", 10);
stop();
the idea is to load the movie and jump to frame 10 which is
where the content I need is located. Unfortunately, A) it doesn't
jump to frame 10, it just goes to frame 1, and B) the content is
simply loaded on top of content I already have there. I just want
it to jump to the other swf and leave the SWF from which I clicked
the button behind entirely.

Launch PowerPoint from within a Flash Document?

I am new to this and have a question. Is it possible to
launch a PowerPoint file from within a Flash Document? (It can open
either internally or externally)
And, if so, is there a simple way to do it, or can you give
me directions to the proper tutorial section?

Hi Nick,
For offline/CD work, you can do this from a Flash Projector
file (see
Publish Settings) and use FlashJester JStart with it
http://jstart.flashjester.com
Download the evaluation copy and see the examples it comes
with.

Loading a webpage within a flash document

Hi, is it possible to load a webpage withing a flash document,

Please help, thanks

yes, you can display html text in an html-enabled textfield but, the html page will probably not display as you expect because of flash textfields support for a limited number of html tags.

Hyperlink within a numbers document?

I'm trying to link two things on different sheets in numbers so that clicking on one brings up the other. For example clicking on 'Muffin Recipe' brings up the recipe from a separate sheet in the same document. I can't find out how to do this.

Auburnelle,
Jumping to another sheet can only be done by clicking on the sheet name in the Sheets Pane, on the left side of your document window.
If you name your sheets such that they reflect the name of the recipe, and even better, if you put the sheets in alphabetical order in the sheets pane, you can easily jump to the proper recipe without any programming at all.
Another approach would be to have a table on the main sheet that "looks up" the desired recipe and copies it to the main sheet. This option, in my opinion, would be a needless waste of your time.

Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.

I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me. I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
often). How do I go about performing this? Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.

I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
Dim PDFPath As String
Dim DisplayPage As Integer
PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
'Set the page you want to be displayed
'DisplayPage = 3
'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
'Set AVDoc object
Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
'Open the PDF
If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
PDFDoc.BringToFront
'Maximize the document
Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
'Go to the desired page
'The first page is 0
Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
'Set the page view of the pdf
Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)

wouldn't it make more sense that a flashtard is someone who
just generally sucks at flash and asks idiotic questions?
anyway, so i pretty much got the banner done - but i'm stuck
on one problem. I made a motion clip of a heart, and i want the
heart to fall from top to bottom, following a squiggly motion
guide, and to rotate 1/4 turn on the way. I got it as far as
following the motion guide, but when i try to select the instance
in the first frame and rotate it, shouldn't the motion tween make
it appear to slowly rotate, rather than stay put then rotate 1/4
turn at the last frame? When I select the clip and play around with
alpha and stuff, that works fine. What the heck?

Hyperlinks within a document

I would like to know if it is possible to link within a document (i.e. to have a table of contents and link to each section within a document) and if so, how do you do it?? I also have hyperlinks embedded within the same document and I would like to know how to change the names (i.e. instead of http://www.autismspeaks.com to just have it say Autism Speaks and still be a link to the website). I looked in the help section and I have tried a variety of different things and nothing works so any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?

Instant Message Hyperlink Within CS6 Document

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone is aware of a way to create an instant message hyperlink within an Indesign CS6 document.
The document is being produced for my firm and it is for internal use only, we all use Lync 2010 so there should be no problem with using sip:[email protected] (in the same way you would use email:[email protected]) as the hyperlink text - I've used this in other applications and it works great. The problem with Indesign is it requires that you stipulate the type of hyperlink you are creating i.e URL, email etc.
By the way (in case anyone has any other suggestions) the reason I want to do this is to create a live chat button within the document. I will be exporting the document as a SWF.
Thanks in advance
Shaun

I just tried this myself, and the keyboard shows when touching an email address link in an SMS and opening Mail. I'm using iOS 4.1 beta, so I can't be sure if there is a bug in 4.0 or 4.0.1.
However, if resetting didn't work, try restoring in iTunes using a backup, or as a new iPhone if necessary.
Note, that if your phone is jailbroken or hacked to unlock, all bets are off and restoring may brick your phone.

Hyperlinks within .PDF document won't open in browser.

So what I want to happen is when I click a hyperlink within a .PDF file which is opened via Adobe Reader XI, I want a new tab/browser (the link) to be opened with/in Chrome.
Currently when I hover my mouse over a link, it turns into a clicky hand thing with a tiny letter 'w' and the address floats above in a box. When I try to shift/normal/ctrl click the link, nothing happens.
Default settings in the reader and chrome.
Thanks!

Yes. If I open this .pdf file in chrome and click the link, a new tab will open with the link.
Also, I just found something else out. When I open the settings in Adobe Reader and try clicking on the 'help' links such as 'What is protected view' under 'security', I get a message saying "Online help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet".

How can I inset a hyperlink within a sticky?

How can I inset a hyperlink within a sticky so that it can be clicked on and link directly to the hyperlinked site?
Using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, version 9.0 running on Mac OSX version 10.5.6 with a HP 2840 printer

Dick --
I ran into the same hyperlink issue with some of my PDF documents that were signed, precluding any changes. After exhausting avenues in Acrobat, on a whim I typed an updated path in Word, made it a hyperlink, then copied the link and pasted it into a sticky note. Wonder of wonders, it worked. Who'd have thought Word is actually good for something other than writing letters?

Editing swfobject.js code so hyperlinks inside the flash widget open in a new window

0down votefavorite
I have a flash calendar widget (code shown directly below) and I do not have access to anything other than the compiled .swf file (no access to .fla).
The widget contains some hyperlinks to other websites, these links are dynamic and changes based on a number of things.
There is also a corresponding swfobject.js file that is used to add functionality to the flash widget. The swfobject.js code is shown further down this post.
Currently, the way the code is now, when I click any of the hyperlinks that are available to me in the widget, the destination website that hyperlink takes me to opens in THE SAME PAGE as the flash widget which is a big problem.
I need to edit the code below so that any hyperlinks that are clicked inside of the flash widget open in a brand new browser window and do not take the user away from the original widget other than opening a new page with new content.
Because the hyperlinks that are available are always changing, the swfobject code below uses some functions and parameters.
I am hoping you can show me exactly what code I must insert, and exactly where I must insert it, in order to alter the behavior that happens so that when a user clicks one of the hyperlinks inside the flash widget, so that the content at the other end of the hyperlink opens in a new window, instead of opening in the same window.
See code below.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

In that case, I will have no choice but to decompile the .swf to get the .fla because the original .fla is un-obtainable. Unless there is a way to edit the contents of the .swf file without decompiling it.
I can see the code inside via various decompile tools and it seems that I would need to add the equivalent of <src target=_blank> to some of the lines I have shown below.
obj_xml.load(appurl + "loadconfig.aspx?calendarid=" + calendarid); -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
dest_page = appurl + "default.aspx"; -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
I know a lot of decompile tools can get you the code and the .fla but once you edit and re-compile and attempt to replace the original with the new & updated file, the decompiler did not necessarily generate the properly formatted flash pro project file, so compiling it back into an operational .swf often ends in failure.
Do you know or can you recommend a tool that has a very good track record of re-compiling the decompiled modified.fla into a workable and usable .swf?

Preserving hyperlink properties from Word documents

I am using Live Cycle to convert MS Word 2007 created docs that have been pdf'ed into Acrobat forms. Within these Word files are hyperlinks that have the properties of opening a new browser window when clicked. I have set this to be the default for all hyperlinks within the document. When I save the .docx file as a .pdf file, the links behave as desired. When I create fill -in fields (text and date fields) with Live Cycle and launch the resulting modified .pdf with Acrobat, the links behave as I want. HOWEVER, when I create a link to the acrobat file/form itself in a web page, and it launches into a browser window (with IE6 it doesn't invoke the Acrobat application to launch separately, but within the browser), now, the links in the .pdf/LiveCycle file DO NOT pop a new window, but just replace the open browser window.
This is an issue with IE because if the user has halfway filled in the form, and comes to a link and clicks it, they "leave" the form window and their inputs will disappear when they click the back browser button to return to the form.
How can I preserve the "open new window in IE" for the hyperlinks as explained above?
Thanks, Jay

To create a dvd and include hyperlinks within the presentations to further info

I want to create a DVD with a a main menu that feeds into various slideshows and pdf documents. But I want to include hyperlinks within these slideshows and pdf's that will bring you to further information (Sub Folders lets say!) that will not be contained within the initial slideshows and pdf documents but held somewhere on the dvd. How do I create these hyperlinks or can this be done?

Hi
I doubt that very much.
a Video-DVD as You make with iDVD is to be played on any standard DVD-Player and they can not address internet or playback .pdf.
• You can store Data-material on a Video-DVD but need a computer to use it
• You can convert a .pdf file into a movie to be viewed as any other movie (I never get good enough quality in this conversion though)
and
You can make the DVD into a Data-DVD on Desktop/Finder and convert Your movies into QuickTime .mov (or other) to be played on PC/Mac - but this will not play in any DVD-player.
Have You ever seen a DVD that work as You describe Your wish ? I never.

CS6-DW ? about active hyperlinks within my video

Hi All,
I was wondering if you any of you have conquered this problem?
"Flash supports hyperlinks inside video. Yet, IOS does not support Flash" (mobile devices) For the most part, old Droids do.
In Apple's infinite wisdom, SJ decided not to support flash. So going the way of the Dodo Bird, I am trying to keep current while using what I think is a slick option.Embedding links inside video.
Youtube allows it with their files (For this reason I believe it can be done in an mp4) Yet Youtube only allows for links within their site,
Anyone? I am using CS6 Master suite. Not CC. So it is a whopping 1 year old software.
Thanks
NC

Hi Nancy,
I think you are not getting my point, or question. You are referring to embedding the video, whereas I am referring to embedding a link inside a video. You know a hyperlink within a video?
What I had thought Youtube may have been a solution, was not. Youtube'e Annotation tool merely rewraps a video in a SWF or FLV wrapper to then add a hyperlink to your video. (Same as Flash)
