Linking Flash Pages

What code do you use to link flash pages in a flash website?
Anything will help!!

Nate, the first thing to do would be some basic reading on
publishing Flash documents (i.e. "converting from FLA to SWF").
Start with the Live Docs here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00000805.html
This will help you in producing the SWF file that you can
then place in your HTML template using Dreamweaver.
Good luck!

Can you code a link between html and a particular flash page?

Hi,
I hope this question is not too confusing. I am designing a website in flash CS3 using Action script 2.0 not 3.0 and Flash Player 8. The architecture I used is as follows: I have a menu/main page which loads the swf files of other flash pages. I have a particular flash chatroom page which is loaded by the main page that I would like to be able to link an web address (example ... www.chatroom.com) directly too that particular sub flash page ... rather than going to the main.swf which is what the original web address uses. (I hope your following me).
Technically I know I could link a web address to the chatroom.swf file, but then it would estetically look incomplete since the theme/design of the website is in the main.swf which calls the chatroom.swf.
Thus my question is: is there a way to assign the web address to the chatroom.swf inside the main.swf. I would like to go directly to the chatroom without clicking chatroom on the main.swf menu. I do not know enough Actionscript 2.0 to know if this is possible. I did try to search for the answer but could not find it. If it is possible what script would I need? If it is not possible, any other ideas to get the same effect?
As always, thank you for your help.

I just wanted to clarify how the main page links to the subsequest pages when I said it loads the swf file. The links in the actual menu code are fla files.
(on release) {
_root.toLoad = 'chatroom'
_root.con.play(_currentframe+1);
Then I must publish the files to make swf files for each page which will be loaded into the main menu.
I hope that gives insight to my thinking and helps you answer my question.

Add a link to page option with flash animations??

Hello, I see that you have an option for images if you insert an image, you have a link to html page option
But if you insert a flash animation , there is no link option?
as some research i have found that I have to do it i flash itself.
Why did you not create a link option for flash animations? as you have with images, a link option would be great for flash animations also
Is there a code I can do in dreamweaver to link flash animations to a page.
thanks, I dont know why dreamweaver flash animations does not have a link option? please put it in next release
thanks

flash animations not visible on phone devices ? i see flash animations fine from my phone
Don't know what phone you use or if what you're seeing is actually Flash, but Apple iDevices don't support Flash. Never have and never will.
     http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
Adobe has stopped further Flash development for mobile devices in favor of HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript. See Adobe Edge Preview.
     http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
Finally, from where I sit, Flash is a fading web technology. But if it floats your boat, feel free to make a feature request.

How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8

Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
8, and others in a short time. My question is,
I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
www.fatcatzcreative.com
I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
Thanks in advance to all.

HTML cannot link Flash.
If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
file's
actionscript and add the links there.

Pop-up error on flash pages

My OPS - Windows XP SP2
My Browser - IE Explorer 6
My ISP - Road Runner High Speed
My Macromedia Flash Player Version - 8.0.24.0
ISSUE:
I am receiving a small popup error as certain web pages that
use flash are loading up ... not all flash pages, but some,
including my homepage which is "www.rr.com"
The popup appears briefly, only as the page is being loaded,
and it reads as follows ... "Press SPACE BAR or ENTER to activate
and use this control"
After a second or two the page is fully loaded and the popup
quickly disappears, however there is a broken-lined box which
surrounds the flash section of the page and if I enter that section
{flash} with my cursor I receive a similar message which reads ....
"Click to activate and use this control"
Only if I left click my mouse or hit SPACE or ENTER on my
keyboard can I access the flash sections of said page ... so for
example, if I were attepmting to access a flash link on said page I
would need to left click twice, once to "activate and use the
control" and one to access the link ... or I could hit my SPACE BAR
or ENTER prior to clicking the flash link and then it will be
activate, thus only one left click on the link will suffice
I have also encounted this same popup at the mcafee homepage
... us.mcafee.com ... when I push my cursor into a flash section of
the page I receive the same small popup, "Click to activate and use
this control"
I have been a flash user for quite some time, on this very
same PC, same OPS, same Browser, same ISP, and I've even had the
updated version of flash player for at least a month {8.0.24.0},
yet this trouble has appeared out of the blue only two days ago and
I cannot fix it
I have tried a number of fixes ... I have even used the
uninstall utility for flash player as provided by your website, and
uninstalled my browser, then reinstalled both to no avail, same
issue continues to occur on certain flash pages {but not all},
including my homepage
PLEASE HELP
Thanks You,
Dobermite

Here's the fix!!
Change your flash objects(embed) to external files that use
javascript to write the tag. Like so
var oeTags = '<object classid="clsid
27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="812" height="565" >'
+ '<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"
/>'
+ '<param name="movie" value="dyna_main.swf"
/><param name="quality" value="high" /><embed
src="dyna_main.swf" quality="high" width="812" height="565"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>'
+ '</object>';
document.write(oeTags);
name the page whatever.js
on you htm page include it with a script tag, like so
<script src="/whatever.js"></script>
It works

New page unexpectedly loses ability to go BACK to previous page after clicking on a link in page (not consistent), why?

Firefox 4.0 Vista 32 bit
I will have a tab open, and click on a link, new page loads. The Back and Forward buttons do not work. Usually it shows in history (unless I opened too many pages before clicking on link). This has happened several times.
It is not consistent - one time I used search bar and opened a Yahoo search page - clicked on search link and when I wanted to go back to look at another search link from the previous page- page would not load (BACK button dead). I clinked search again, clicked on another link and that time it allowed me to return to the previous page???
I am about ready to go back to previous version.
Thank you.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

Flash Page not displaying in IE7

I have a flash page located at
http://www.springmountainranchut.com.
By clicking on the menu at the left titled "The Mountain" and then
Clicking on the menu bottom center titled "Master Plan Map &
Movie", should display a map and movie when you click on the "Play
Movie" link. The .swf was created using MX Studio 2004 with
published settings of action script 2.0, flash player 7. IE7 using
flash player 9 will not display the page where IE6 using flash
player 7 displays just fine. I have uninstalled flash player 9
using the adobe uninstall file and reinstalled from the adobe
website.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Typically, I simply delete the entire folder, then, the next time I

Uninstallers don't work with a corrupt control, you actually

thanks. i tried but cant delete the folder. it says 'you need

Linking flash buttons to website using div sections

Ok, I am a total Newbie at Flash and Dreamweaver and I am
having serious issues linking flash the flash buttons from my
navigation bar to the main frame on my webpage. I have the buttons
working, and they do link to a page, just they do not link to the
frame, instead they load the page as a full page itself.
I am using Dreamweaver and a website template I found online.
I believe the problem to why it is not working is because this
template doesn't seem to be using frames, and I can not find the
name of the frame to reference in the flash button actions. This
template is using a lot of <div> tags to separate the
sections in the index file.
Does anyone out there know how to link flash button actions
to open a page in a specific div section? Also, how can I make sure
that it is these div tags that are creating the frames, and how to
find out what each section is called? (I'm new to dreamweaver as
well)
This is my first post and last resort, forums don't fail me
now! Thanks to anyone out there who helps me.
Darian

use a javascript function to change the div content and the
flash externalinterface class to call the javascript
function.

Basic Flash Page, Script Help Please!

So, I realize I'm an idiot, but I'm trying to teach myself flash because I need to make a basic flash page. I am going by this tutorial:
http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/basic-Website-flash-tutorial.html
I have modified it (going step by step mind you) and now that it's over, instead of the page loading normally, it just goes from page to page without clicking on a link at all. Just goes from home, to about, to artists, etc.
I get no errors so... I'm a little lost.
I've uploaded the swf for reference.

I always say to doublecheck the instance names... you'd be surprised how often some says they're okay when they're not. Sometimes they are using library names, not instances names, and something they simply did not assign instance names.
Your description of how the buttons are related to a movieclip isn't clear, but if the traces I mentioned come out, then the buttons are working.
I wish there was a way I could see the full set of messages for this posting (like the old system)... at this point I have to guess what I remember seeing... Do you have frame labels in your section mc that match the calls in your buttons functions?
For the home page issue... If it disappears it is likely going to another frame. If a command says gotoAndPlay... and you're already there, it will advance in the timeline even if there is a stop in that frame (the stop is used up)
Here's a routine that worked for another posting as far as getting the file to upload in the forum...
1) zip the fla file
2) rename the zip file to have a txt extenstion

Embedding Flash into a Flash page

Hey all...my first post here.
I've recently learned Flash and have had pretty good success figuring out challenges that come up...however I am stuck on one now and am looking for help.
I am designing a site for a music project that I manage. The band also uses another free site, Reverbnation, for promotions and such. The site provides a mailing list function, and you can embed an already provided "widget" onto your HTML web page that will automatically add people to your e-mail list if they choose to sign up.
The problem I am having is that the page the widget is going to be on is now all Flash. I can't figure out how to get the widget into the Flash page. The Flash page itself is really nothing elaborate.
Here is the code for the widget that they provide:
<img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNzQyMTEwMDU3NjUmcHQ9 MTI3NDIxMTQyMTQwNiZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9ZmFuX2NvbGxlY3Rvcl9maXJzdF9nZW4mZz*x/Jm89ZDlkZTU1NWQ2YWFlN DRiMDlhMzU4MDgxZDM1OTk2ZWUmb2Y9MA==.gif" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/11/fancollector.swf?page_object_id=artist_708835 &backgroundcolor=EEEEEE&font_color=000000&posted_by=artist_708835" height="100" width="434" /><br/><a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/gigfinder" onclick="javascript:window.location.href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/11/708835/Artist/708835/Artist/link"; return false;"><img alt="Land Gigs" border="0" height="19" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/content/11/footer.png?1" width="434" /></a><br/><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://www.reverbnation.com/widgets/trk/11/artist_708835/artist_708835/t.gif"/><a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt="Quantcast"/></a>
Any ideas on how I would embed this into my Flash page to be a functioning widget?
Thanks!

your published swf will be embedded in an html file. add your widget code to that html file.
you can use html, styles, divs etc to position the swf and widget.
or, if you want to incorporate that widget within your swf, you might be able to load
http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/11/fancollector.swf?page_object_id=art%20ist_708 835&backgroundcolor=EEEEEE&font_color=000000&posted_by=artist_708835
and manage.

The host of the meeting should be able to start and stop recording the live session whenever they want/need. Then the recording is viewable from a link, not dissimilar to the link for the live meeting.

I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed ...any ideas?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Linking 3 pages in a smart form.

Hi!
I have created a smartform with about 5 tables in the main window. I need three copies of the same form with only the signatories at the bottom changing. U can say the last two rows of the last window in the smart form. Rest everything will be exactly the same. I created two pages and copied the details from the first page. Just the last window I have freshly created on each page. Now I am not able to link the three pages. Please suggest.
thanks,
