Importing HTML to Flash - Still need help!!!!

Hello there.
I have been able to import an HTML file into Flash by
creating a textfield and having the HTML load into it, but it will
only recognize my <b> and <p> tags, not any <a>
(link) tags.
So I can't put click "HERE" and have another window load, or
anything like that.
Any suggestions? Do <a> tags work when imported to
Flash?
Thanks in advance,
~Vanessa

Hi, here is my ActionScript code:
function addArticle(sLinkage:String):Void{
if(oOpenedArticle[sLinkage]!=undefined) {
oOpenedArticle[sLinkage].swapDepths(nTopDepth);
return;
function loadArticle():Void {
var nWidth:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._width;
var nHeight:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._height;
var nX:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._x;
var nY:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._y;
this.createTextField("tArticle", this.getNextHighestDepth(),
nX, nY, nWidth, nHeight);
tArticle.multiline = true;
tArticle.wordWrap = true;
tArticle.textColor = 0x000000;
tArticle.html = true;
tArticle.condenseWhite = true;
function loadData():Void {
var lvArticleContent:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lvArticleContent.onData = function(sHTMLData:String):Void {
tArticle.htmlText = sHTMLData;
var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new
TextField.StyleSheet();
cssStyles.onLoad = function():Void {
tArticle.styleSheet = this;
lvArticleContent.load("about.html");
cssStyles.load("aof.css");
var nTopDepth:Number;
var oOpenedArticle:Object = new Object();
mcAboutButton.onRelease = function():Void {
loadData();
gotoAndPlay(20);
loadArticle();
And my HTML:
<html>
<head>
<link href="aof.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#666666">

Still need help with flash player download

I'm still having a problem with the flash player, please read my last post below:
"I've tried everything here & still can't download the flash player. Anytime I try to download it asks me to install ADM add-on and then when I click on that, my computer freezes. How do I enable this add-on without my computer freezing? Can anyone help pls?"

Thanks a lot for your help, it is truly appreciated.

Still need help with case sensitive strings

Hello guy! Sorry to trouble you with the same problem again,
but i still need help!
"I am trying to create a scrypt that will compare a String
with an editable text that the user should type to match that
String. I was able to do that, but the problem is that is not case
sensitive, even with the adobe help telling me that strings are
case sensitive. Do you guys know how to make that comparison match
only if all the field has the right upper and lower case letters?
on exitframe
if field "t:texto1" = "Residencial Serra Verde"then
go to next
end if
end
|----> thats the one Im using!"
There were 2 replys but both of them didnt work, and the
second one even made the director crash, corrupting even previously
files that had nothing to do with the initial problem..
first solution given --
If you put each item that you are comparing into a list, it
magically
makes it case sensitive. Just put list brackets around each
item.
on exitframe
if [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"] then
go to next
end if
end
Second solution given--
The = operator is not case-sensitive when used on strings,
but the < and > operators are case-sensitive.
So another way to do this is to check if the string is
neither greater than nor less than the target string:
vExpected = "Residencial Serra Verde"
vInput = field "t:texto 1"
if vExpected < vInput then
-- ignore
else if vExpected > vInput then
-- ignore
else
-- vExpected is a case-sensitive match for vInput
go next
end if
So any new solutions??
Thanks in advance!!
joao rsm

The first solution does in fact work and is probably the most
efficient way
of doing it. You can verify that it works by starting with a
new director
movie and adding a field named "t:texto1" into the cast with
the text
"Residencial Serra Verde" in the field. Next type the
following command in
the message window and press Enter
put [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"]
You will see it return 1 which means True. Next, make the R
in the field
lower case and execute the command in the message window, it
will return 0
(true).
Now that you know this works, you need to dig deeper in your
code to find
what the problem is. Any more info you can supply?

Problem with changing flash content - Need help

I need help in changing the flash content. Here is my proble,
1) I bought a flash template (I will call this Original) from a website and paid some money to customize my menu,logo and background color.
2) After they finished it they sent me several files. Like 1) index.html, .swf, psd, .fla. In all the files .html,.swf (the video) and .psd I am seeing my customize changes (logo,menu and background color). But the .fla file they sent me is still shows everything from original template. It doesn't have my logo, menu or background color.
3) I asked their technical support and they walk me through. a) Open the .fla file in flash pro. b) Change the content c) Hit Ctrl+Enter and it will export the new .swf file to the flash folder. d) Make sure I delete the video from flash folder and replace the name with the one I created.
I did all these steps. But the problem is the .SWF that i generated is showing everything from the orignal template. It did change the content but I don't see any of my customize request. (Menu, logo or color)
4) Then I open the index.html and I DID NOT see any of the changes in the content.
My feeling is they did not provide me the correct .FLA file. I really need your help.
My confusion is a) Have they provide me the correct .FLA file or I am doing something wrong. b) When I generated the new .swf video and renamed it properly why it didn't reflect in the index.html file.
I am really going back and forth with them since last 15 days and its not going anywhere. I really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Jessy

Unfortunately, if you have not enough knowledge about using Flash, and do not want to pay to have this done for you, the folks who did this for you are likely going to be the only ones who can help you resolve it. They should be able to provide the edited fla and the new swf if they are in any way a credible/reliable business.... which at this point sounds like they are not.

Read every font topic, but I still need help

I have been at this for about 4 hours, and I need help.
I read Flash Help and every font forum topic, which say
Static Text need not use embedded fonts.
Links to .fla and .swf files below.
Everything shows up fine in 'Control/Test Movie'
Using Arial font, I cannot see static text in my test .swf
file.
I then embedded Arial (24 pt, bold, italic - 'ArialEmbedded'
in the library).
Using that font on Static text, can see the text, but not in
Arial. It is in TimesNewRoman, regular, non-italic.
I then used the embedded font in text I described as dynamic,
but could not see any text.
Everything shows up fine in Control/Test Movie.
I get around this by building .gifs using graphics packages
and importing them,
but the results are less than desirable. (see layer ".gif
from outside appl."

Update.....
I still cannot see text in .swf on my local machine, but I
can see it on the web, after posting it, but the text looks awful.
(The same text in Word lookas fine -

I had to remove Mavericks and do a reinstall on 10.8.5 but still need help...

I have been trying to undo my Mavericks upgrade in October and after considerable effort I am mostly got back to 10.8.5 OS but still need a bit of help. I just want the previous OS back in place then I'll try Mavericks soon....
1)               I never seem to pay attention so is 10.8.5 the last OSX prior? As long as it isn't Mavericks, I want to get it installed.
2)               I had to reformat my iMac so I have a residual elements from 10.9 and one issue that I had before was permissions. Every number of files either on other hard drives or sometimes in my same user folder was asking for permission and authentication to simply move a file.. A popular one you'll see at the bottom the person/whatever/ problem known as fetching. Could someone just give me the general reason of this fetching and permissions problem that I ran into? Better yet since I just want to avoid it altogether into the future tell me what's the best way to assure it disappears forever.
3)          Another, which is kind of a big ticket item for me is the backup/restore/cover your (!!!) system. I was a good little iMac User and had Time Machine backed up for a period prior to the Mavericks install. I'm a little bit upset that TM isn't 100%....but what is...? I need another backup/restore system in place and that's what I am looking for recommendations on. An item that saved me a bit was that I had OS 10.8.3 on an external hard drive. The problem with that one was it was on a partition, on one of the drives requiring to be reformatted. It worked as a bridge consolidating files and all but was a big headache as a partition on the external. Recovery Disk did it's part but wasn't enough as well.   Is there a simple/easy idea...clone, disk images, boot from an external drive… ?
4)          iPhoto (9.4.3) currently will not open the libraries which iPhoto (9.5) converted. Is there way to go back? Seems the App Store and Software update don't like something. I'm getting into a loop with App Store, iPhoto and the OS. Either the software needs operating system ... then the App Store says it's incompatible or some other complaint. Right now I have 9.4.3 iPhoto installed for OSX 10.8.5 and was only able to create a new library and the converted ones currently do not open.
Thanks to your help

10.8.5 is the lates ML edition. I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup. If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup. You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files. The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files. That should fix the permissions issue. I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

Flash newbie needs help

i'm quite a newbie when it comes to flash and need some help
http://www.sas.se/sv/?vst=true
you look to the right you'll see an airplane and i'll say "Billiga avgångar" next too it
under the text you can see text in yellow being scrambled then reappear
i was wondering how you make the text scramble then display the messeage like that?

this is a better way to do it in one textfield. it's easily amended to display one letter per textfield and add textfields as needed.
(to speed up the display shorten charS even down to a one character string.)
var charS:String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 01232456789,./<>?;':\"[]{}\|!@#$%^&*()-_=+";
var charA:Array = charS.split("");
var displayTO:Number
// user defined params:
// character change in ms
var speed:Number = 1;
encodeF(yourstring,yourtextfield);
function encodeF(s:String,tf:TextField){
    tf.text = charA[0];
    displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,0,0);
function displayF(s:String,tf:TextField,charNum:Number,index:Number){
    tf.text = tf.text.substr(0,-1)+charA[index];

Have you tried un-installing iTunes, downloading the program again from Apple, and re-installing?
It's always worth a try, as it should help you clear off anything causing the problem and start again.

It isn't a good idea to start a second thread on the same topic. You have had responses under the first post. I suggest you go there and continue this discussion.

I still need help. i am technically challanged. i up graded my phonr to a 5 s. i backed up my phone on icloud. i cAn not get my notes or photos. it looks like the icloud email address is wrong. how can i change it or get my missing items

I need help. I am not good with technology. I upgraded phone today to 5 s I am missing notes and photos it looks like the cloud address is not correct. Any suggestions

Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

New ipod passcode locked out. tried other steps still need help please

Hi passcode locked out of daughters new ipod. we backed up on computer this morning or rather it automatically backed up when plugged into itunes as directed from other posts i was reading. Then I tried to restore but it said I needed to turn off "find my ipod" which I cant because I need the passcode to get to settings. I then tried the home button power off but when i get to itunes restore ipod it tells me I need passcode. pleae help what step am I missing? go s l o w l y please I am new to mac after 20 years on pc and need help in steps that are not intuitive to me.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Loading External SWF Files: Making Things Simple... Still need help here =)

Hello everyone! First of all, sorry for my english... I'm Brazilian and english is not my first language.
This is my first post meant to be my first post and I'm learning AS3. Didn't know about this forum but now I hope to have the time to visit it a lot to help and be helped! =)
Well, I'm trying to import some external files to my main flash file with buttons. Yes, this is a newbie question, but I'm learning... I click button 1 and content 1 is loaded, click button 2 and content 2 is loaded, and so on. So, I got two ways for doing it:
edit: The code below is working fine now...
montreal.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadCity);
dublin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadCity);
sydney.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadCity);
var box:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(box);
box.x=20;
box.y=20;
function loadCity (event:MouseEvent):void {
    var currentCity = event.target.name;
    // remove all the children of the box
    while (box.numChildren > 0) {box.removeChildAt(0);}
    var swfRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(currentCity+".swf");
    var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    swfLoader.load(swfRequest);
    box.addChild(swfLoader);}
The problem with this first option is that whenever I click a button, it don't renew the content of the "box"... instead, the content loaded is stacked over the last one and I don't know how to clean it... The user Andrei did the trick with the "while statement" so the above code is working but I don't know how to use tween with it...
So here comes the second option:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
montreal.buttonMode=true;
dublin.buttonMode=true;
sydney.buttonMode=true;
rio.buttonMode=true;
paris.buttonMode=true;
london.buttonMode=true;
home.buttonMode=true;
var box:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(box);
box.x=20;
box.y=20;
var cityLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("montreal.swf"); //I use this to show a city when the site is opened
cityLoader.load(cityURL);
box.addChild(cityLoader);
**Here I add the listeners to button, each one calling its own function like:
montreal.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadMontreal);
function cityTweens():void {
    var cityIn:Tween = new Tween(box, "y", Strong.easeOut, -350, 20, 1, true);}
function loadMontreal(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("montreal.swf");
    cityLoader.load(cityURL);
    cityTweens();}
function loadDublin(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("dublin.swf");
    cityLoader.load(cityURL);
    cityTweens();}
function loadSydney(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("sydney.swf");
    cityLoader.load(cityURL);
    cityTweens();}
function loadRio(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("rio.swf");
    cityLoader.load(cityURL);
    cityTweens();}
function loadParis(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("paris.swf");
    cityLoader.load(cityURL);
    cityTweens();}
function loadLondon(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("london.swf");
    cityLoader.load(cityURL);
    cityTweens();}
function loadHome(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var cityURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("home.swf");
    cityLoader.load(cityURL);
    cityTweens();}
Well, the second option "is" working but I have some problems with the Tween... I have to wait the tween to finish before clicking another button or the tween will bug... I don't know how to disable the buttons until the tween is finished =/
Now, I used to have one tween for each function but now I got it inside a function and just call it inside each function. Simple for you but I was like WOW when I had the idea and put it to practice! But I'm still repeating a lot of codes here with the "cityLoader.load(cityURL);" but when I try to put it inside the function "cityTweens" it will just open the Montreal City, maybe because I'm calling it as soon as the site opens...
I'm almost sure I can make things simple, like mixing the idea of the first code (currentCity+".swf") so I don't need to call a function for each button. I just don't know how to do it...
Could anyone help me? I'll also be VERY happy if you point me to any tip like good practices that I'm not following.
Thanks in advance!

As I said in your previous post, removing the child would not do the trick. Technically, you need to remove it after the tween is finished.
In any case there are several issues with how you approach the whole thing. First of all, if you target your application to be on Internet - swf loading will not happen instantly - thus you, perhaps, need to consider waiting for swfs to be loaded before you doing anything with them. But if you just do it on local machine - you don't really need for them to show up. On the other hand, even with local environment it makes sense to take into account asynchronous/unpredicatable nature of external file loading.
Also, your code can be more comact and the same functionality delegated to a single function. The code below demonstrates one of the ways. This is not the bes way though because it forces to load objects again although they were loaded already. But this is another story. I did not check code in action, of course (this is just an idea) - it is up to your to work out bugs:

     if (box.numChildren > 1) {
          cityTweens();
function cityTweens():void {
     // tween the topmost object
      var cityIn:Tween = new Tween(box.getChildAt(box.numChildren - 1), "y", Strong.easeOut, -350, 20, 1, true);
     // wait until motion finished
     cityIn.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, tweenFinished);
function tweenFinished(e:TweenEvent):void {
     // make Tween instance eligible for arbage collection
     e.target.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, tweenFinished);
     // now you can remove tweened object from the box
     box.removeChild(e.target.obj);

New to Flash AS3, Need help with some weird issues, have .fla link attached...

Basically, the buttons are not visible when siteplan_mc is replayeed after floorplan closes, but they still work. Most things are only working on double click for soe reason, tho I have them to function on click. and the back button only woorks on unit 1 floorplan, tho the code it the same for all floorplans. I have a feeling it has something to do with levels... but I really have no idea... hopefully someone can help!
thanks in advance,
Sarah

There are at least two things you're doing wrong. You can't go to a frame where something exists for the first time, and immediately do something to it. Like in your playunit functios for example:
gotoAndStop("unit1")
unit1_mc.alpha = 1
unit1_mc hasn't yet drawn itself on stage to have its alpha set, and so there's an error. That is something that was improved in Flash 10, so if you had set the Flash to publish for Flash 10 and not Flash 9, then the floor plans and the back buttons appears ok. It would sometimes work with double clicks because by the second time you clicked, the movieclip now existed. You might be able to do what you want by having all of the room units on frame 1 of the siteplan_mc, and then set their visible to true or false as you need them, instead of doing the gotoAndStop().
The other problem is that you're trying to set listeners on the Back buttons that don't yet exist. Wait until you're on the frame where the buttons exists, and then set its listener for the mouse click.
Other things you're doing could be improved too, but really you might want to get together with someone who has done more AS3, to help you become more familiar with how it works.
