Interacting with html documents from flash

Hi,
I'm a newbie in actionscript. I created a world map in flash. The map has regions (Europe, North America, Latin America, etc.). The regions on the map are defined as buttons.
The final flash map will be embedded in an html document (map.html). The idea is that when you click for example the "Europe" button on the flash movie, this will open an html document called Europe.html and will show it underneath the map flash (inside map.html).
The "Europe.html" for example contains a list of countries.
In this mission I have 2 problems:
1. What script I have to attach to every region button on the flash map so it will call the right html file into the div on the map.html?
2. What script do I have to put inside the html document?
Any help will be much appreciated. thank you
Arie M.

assign your button an instance name (in the properties panel after selecting your button) and use that name in the actions panel:
yourbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("map.html"),"youriframe")

Load html document inside flash

I have been informed that it is possible to load an html
document inside flash, that you use an HTML tag, but I cannot find
it in the scripts, can anyone show an example and explain how to
make it work or if there is a tutorial for creating this inside of
flash.
Thanks

Dear All
I do not know why they call themselves professionals in flash and html, while they can not help us with a simple webpage inside a flash movie.
No offense
I was trying the whole week to do that by checking if any body post any tip over the internet, but as usual the profs said that you can only make it in test and only text and bla bla bla.....
Let me tell you that I have managed to open a whole webpage in my flash website.
I have this page that is html and have so many codes and things that I do not know, and in my flash website I have a menu which one of its buttons must open that html file, and as every body knows that you will loose the whole work if you poped up another window from your flash website.
So Cheer up I have managed to open my html page in my flash movie website.
You can check it up following this link www.compuhometech.com/html_inside_flash/index.html
If you like to have it please mail me : [email protected]
Thank you

HTML documents from Mac to Pad

I have developed a series of HTML-CSS-JavaScript pages (kind of utilities) on my iMac, and I would like to have them on my newly purchased iPad.
1. How do I transfer such documents from iMac to iPad?
2. How do I open these documents with Safari on iPad?
François

Sorry,
I was just reading steve jobs speech on why html5 should be used instead of flash, his big point was html just works the same everywhere so i want the web to stop using flash and switch to html so i can see it too.
but why would say abc.com take down there flash stuff and replace it with html if the flash they made works everywhere except my device and html needs to be made for every browser.
i dont like needing an app for every website and not all apps are free. i just want to surf the web like everyone else. and im now worried that my device is never going to be able to.
I saw this guy watching abc.com right on his phone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omBXttm-eec&feature=related
Then I saw this guy showing how html for macs wont work on ipads
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfmbZkqORX4&feature=watchresponserev
now im scared abc.com will never change their site for my device which only supports html, because html needs to be made again for everthing and flash works everywhere.

Opening an HTML popup from Flash, not as tab

Hi
I need to open an HTML popup from Flash (using ActionScript in
Flex 4).
Thus far I found a solution, and it does work in Safari - a new
and separate HTML window is popped up (with a new web page).
private function popUpTheHtmlEditor():void {
var url:String = "http://www.adobe.com";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
    navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
} catch (e:Error) {
    trace("Error occurred!");
But in (my) Firefox (with my settings), when I click on the Flash
(Flex) button, the page is being opened in a new tab.
I need a solution which pops up the HTML page in a new/separate
window, as far as possible regardless of the browser (and browser
settings).
I found an example where a popup is opened from HTML, and it opens a
separate window (a real popup) in my Firefox:
http://www.gtalbot.org/FirefoxSection/Popup/PopupAndFirefox.html
-> "Open a requested popup"
The JavaScript code seems to be:
OpenRequestedPopup(this.href, this.target); return false;
with this function def:
function OpenRequestedPopup(strUrl, strTarget)
    if (WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup == null || WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup.closed)
    WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup = window.open(strUrl, strTarget, "top=" + windowTop + ",left=" + windowLeft + ",width=" + windowWidth + ",height=" + windowHeight + ",menubar,toolbar,location,resizable,scrollbars,status");
    else
    if(WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup.focus)
      WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup.focus();
How could I call such code from ActionScript? Should this work through
ExternalInterface? I couldn't even get this to work:
ExternalInterface.call('alert', 'foo');
Should I use swfobject.js for embedding the .swf in the HTML wrapper?
Any other ideas?
The two files are pasted below.
Here's the compiler command I'm using:
mxmlc -output button.swf -target-player 10.0.0 flash_to_editor.mxml
I'm running the examples locally (as files, not over http). Would it
help to place the files on a server?

Hi,
Here's a solution.
1. Make ExternalInterface work when files are loaded as local files:
Go to
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
In tab Global Security Settings: Edit Locations -> Add Location ->
browse to the .swf file, add it. Make sure it's in the list (under the
Edit Locations drop down, with a green check mark.)
Now open the HTML wrapper in a browser (eg Firefox).
Now this works (ActionScript):
private function popUpTheHtmlEditor():void {
ExternalInterface.call('alert', 'foo');
On Windows: perhaps:
http://techjig.blogspot.com/2008/03/flash-global-security-settings-windows.html
"In order for external interface functions to be called, you must also
specify the folder/file where the swf file is located."
The above setup isn't necessary when the files are on a server.
Also see:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/external/External Interface.html#call()
""ExternalInterface" "
"call() method"
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7ea6.html
"About ExternalInterface API security in Flex"

"Using the ExternalInterface API to access JavaScript"
2. Open a real popup: Example:
ActionScript:
private function popUpSomething():void {
var editorPathOrUrl:String =
    'wrapper.html';
var windowName:String =
    "SomeNameSeeDocs";
var windowFeatures:String =
    "toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,location=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=700";
ExternalInterface.call(
    'launch',editorPathOrUrl,windowName,windowFeatures
JavaScript:
function launch(editorPathOrUrl,windowName,windowFeatures) {
windowRef = window.open(
    editorPathOrUrl,windowName,windowFeatures
Works in all browser I tested except Opera.

Opening help html documents from 10g form

We are converting our 6i forms to 10g. I am trying to open my help html documents from the 10g forms. We have modified the httpd.conf file setting the DocumentRoot "/oracle/apps/aces/help". This is the path where my html documents reside. From the 10g forms I am using web.show_document to open the html documents. I am getting a Page not Found error. Is there somewhere else the help path needs to be set?
Thanks!!
Shellie Bricker

The way i know is, putting some AliasMatch in the conf-file of Apache like
AliasMatch ^/help/(..*) "C:\help/$1"And then use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with this virtual path
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('//help/helpfile.html', '_blank');

Hi Nicolas!
Have you tried to set "Output Format" for "RAW Text" to HTM in SCOT.
If HTM is missing in your dropdown-list, you could check out table SXCONVERT2. Copy the line with category T/format TXT, and change the format from TXT to HTM. The existing function
SX_OBJECT_CONVERT__T.TXT does not need to be changed. Now you should be able to choose HTM in SCOT. You will probably need som HTML-tags in your text to make it look good.
Hope this helps!

Geir

How to Call HTML Layers from Flash?

how to Call HTML Layers from Flash? i need a help on example

What do you mean html layers? You can call JavaScript on the

up the EI

Download a document from flash movie

This might seem like a bit of a silly question. I have a PDF
I want to upload and make available to download from my flash
website. I originally did this by uploading the file to '4share'
but my employer did not like it saying it was a bit confusing and
full of adverts. If I upload the PDF with the rest of my site to
the remote folder how do I connect a button in the website to
automatically start a download of the file? Should I have the file
in an html document, or is it a simple case of getURL on the
desired button? If so, what do I need to do to the PDF before the
link will work correctly.
Many Thanks
JG

Depends on user end, if the browser has DPF plugin, the file
will
automatically open so if you want to force download, zip that
file.
ZIP always prompt download dialog.

Unloading FlashPaper Document from Flash Movie

I'm using the following script to play a FlashPaper movie clip:
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
//   path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i, loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false)     {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", true);
fp.showUIElement("Print", true);
fp.showUIElement("Find", true);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", true);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", true);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", true);
fp.showUIElement("Page", true);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", true);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(8);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("theDocMC",100);
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = -220;
theDocMC_mc._y = -150;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
//   size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("MarketingDoc.swf", theDocMC_mc, 500, 350, this);
Everything works fine on all pages including the page with the FlashPaper movie. The problem is after I visit the page with the FlashPaper movie my file starts to play through all the pages and wont stop.
I'm new to flash and this has been driving me mad. Any tips would be greatly apprciated.
files attached for example of my problem:
Thanks.

Retrieving html text not html document from RichEditableText control

Hi,
I have some html text
Ex- This is <b> test </b>
which i am setting to RichEditableText using TextConvert.importToFlow(),I want to format this text just bold and italic and then get back same html text back with
only formatting i have done.
Suppose i have formatted this text in RichEditableText like;
Ex- This <i>is</i> <b> test</b>
But when i am trying to get back this from RichEditableText using;
TextConverter.export(richedittxt.textFlow,TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT,ConversionT ype.STRING_TYPE);
It gives a complete html document with <html><body><font> tags, which i dont want. It should not includes all these extra tags.
Can any one suggest, whether it is feasible or not ? Please reply if any one has solution
Thanks..

Aha! Well, that can be a bit like painting yourself into a
corner. ;)
> Could you explain a little more?
Spend a bit of time with the String class. Before you even
do that, you
may want to familiarize yourself with the concept of objects
in general.
See this introductory article ...
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/actionscript-20/ojects-building-blocks
... then spend a bit of time in a completely new FLA
experimenting with the
String class. Many of its methods are specifically geared
toward changing
the value of the text content, including stripping away
certain characters.
e.g., you can use String.indexOf() to return the position of
a particular
character (or characters) in a string of text. You may then
use that
position in cahoots with String.substr() to return a new
string that as been
"pruned" of undesired content.

How to remove document from Flash drive after printing from a PC

Hi All,
Here's my problem: Today I needed to print an MS Word file at a printshop, so I saved the document onto my Flash drive and took it to the shop. There, the staff printed the document from a PC and handed the drive back to me.
Now, back at home, I want to delete this document from the Flash Drive. I plug in the drive, select the document and drag it to the trash. But then I get this message: " The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for document X".
This is a document I created from scratch, so I should have read/write privileges, yet the document on the drive is Read Only.
I went back to the shop, and they get the same message.
If I try to use disk utility to erase the disk, it appears as an MS-DOS FIle System (FAT 16) disk, and the erase buttons are "greyed out".
How can I erase this document? Or how I can I reformat the drive?
Any help much appreciated!~

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents from previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents.

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents created with previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents. How can I "thaw".... unfreeze Pages? Have several pages windows open that I was working on.

I also had this problem after I installed Mavericks: Pages files freezing at close, need to force quit.
Workaround: when saving any document created with an earlier version of Pages, be sure to untick the "include preview in document".
For some reason, this resolves the problem.
BTW "loose" is not a verb. You probably mean "lose".
