Linking movie to menubuilder flash file

I have a movie saved as an swf/htm file. On the movie end
options I selected, Open URL or file. I tell it to open the
menu.swf file which is my menubuilder project. I burn these two
files to CD. When the movie ends, it just stops. Then menu doesn't
open. How do I make this work?

Hi
As you may know I've been trying to do the same sort of thing
and I've got mine working now on CD as well.
Not sure if this is going to help but the way mine is set up
is as follows:
1. Intro movie saved in "A Folder" as a captivate movie
2. Published version saved as .exe with a movie end option of
opening another movie saved in the same folder and the fill name
3. Menubuilder with 6 options plus a quiz saved in "A folder"
- all links with tick in "save file with project" check box
4. Published version saved as a flash movie in the same
folder
5. All movies from menu saved in the same folder as all the
others with an end option of close movie bringing you back to the
menu each time.
6. All movies published full screen as .exe
Burnt all of this to CD, plus we had to write a little
autorun file so that it fired up with the correct movie when it
started, rather than just the folder.
Everything works well, all full screen and links work too.
The only thing that's not quite right is that when the first intro
movie moves to the menu, it a bit jumpy and untidy, but essentially
does the job.
Not sure if this is going to help, but am willing to explain
in more detail if you think it might be of use.
Cheers Julesy

Linking button from one flash file to a different flash file

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone knows how to link buttons in one flash
file to open a specific scene of an entirely different flash file?
If it isn't possible to choose a specific scene, is there a way to
just open a flash file...in the same browser window, but not within
the flash file...if that makes sense?
I'm putting this on a website, so additionally, I will need
to know which file to link it to, the swf, html, or fla.
Thanks!!

I would advise against using scenes for your website. You
would need to create a separate html which would load the second
swf file within the same browser window.
This is how you call for it:
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.sitelocation.com/secondswf.html");

How do I find the AS that this links to in my flash file via "find"?

I have a flash file that I have on a web page. When I hover over the Join Us image, the mouse changes to a hand. I can click on the "button" but it doesn't take me anywhere. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to find the link in my Flash file via the "Find" function. What is causing the "hand" to appear, is there a goto or click actionscript that I can search? It's a pretty complex file which I didn't create, and I've had no luck finding this button layer, or AS.
I'm hoping to find where this AS is and link it to a page on my site. Thanks!

Ned, you're back to save the day for me again. You helped me with the mask issue I had a few days ago and I'll have you know, the flash ad came out brilliantly. Everyone loved it.
So you were right, I did find the code AS3.
onClipEvent (load) {
    this.hitArea = this.area;
on (rollOver) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
s1 and s2 are animations where the Join Us text rolls out and Rolls in as different colors.
I added the following to the code and it seems to work great.
onClipEvent (load) {
    this.hitArea = this.area;
on (rollOver) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
          getURL("http://mysite.html", "_self", "GET");
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I think I may owe you a lunch or something after this is all said and done!

Flash files won't display when using DW CS3

Anyone else have this problem? The source shows there's a
flash file on my html page but it doesn't appear at all. When I
made a new page using Dreamweaver MX, I added a flash file,
uploaded it, and all was fine (except there was that annoying 'you
must click to activate' message in IE). When I open that same html
page in Dreamweaver CS3, it says that DW will fix the 'object tag'
(to get rid of that message). So it adds the code, then when I look
at the page on the Web, there's no Flash file there at all. Is
there something else I need to do when inserting a .swf file in
CS3? Thanks.

Sure it does. You forgot to upload the Scripts folder that DW
alerted you
to do.

Auto save Flash file / Save target as

Is there a way to put a Flash file on a page and
automatically prompt the user to "save target as" when they click
on the link? I am posting the file and a link below to the Flash
file. I'm hoping to set it up so that when the user clicks on the
link, they are automatically prompted to "save target as", but not
sure if this is possible. Help, suggestions? Thanks in
advance.

ip the file you want to be downloaded - then point to the
zipped file.

Linking other movie clips within one flash file

hey,
i'm making a flash tutorial for my company. I'm making each
section into a movie clip. so i'm wondering how to link from one
movie clip to another.
ok thanks

It's not confusing, there's just not enough information about
what you have designed already to be able to tell you what you can
do.
How will the movies be arranged in the Flash timeline?
If the movies are all going to be within the same Flash file,
then you will need to have buttons as the links you mention. You
can create your own so that they appear as text if that's what you
want.

Link from flash file/moving not working on a page

I will apologize first for what maybe a very elementary
questions. I was sent an swf file to add to a web page. I got the
movie to run on some of the pages where I inserted it into a
template and the template updated those pages. I think had to
insert it into another page and the movie does not work there. Does
this have something to do with the script in the script folder? A
conflict of some sort?
Also, I need to link the file a URL and putting <a
href> brackets around it is not working. Does the link to the
page have to embedded in the swf file?
Thanks for any help on this.
URL to see pages
Movie working but no link:
http://www.grantwrangler.com/advertise.html
Movie not even showing up:

> Also, I need to link the file a URL and putting <a

wrapping an A HREF tag around a flash .swf object will not
work.
the link has to be "in" the swf, back when it was an FLA file
in flash.
Or- the .swf has to have actionscripting in it so that it
will take a url as
a parameter.
On the flash not showing--
Random observations from a quick look.
There is no \ backslash in a web path or url.
you can usually "get away with it" on a windows server, but
it's incorrect
and something to avoid.

How to add link to flash file (using AS 3)?

Hi all,
I have created a Flash banner ad for our company that is to be hosted on another website. This banner ad needs to have a link added to it, within the Flash file. This link will take users straight to our website but is also for the purpose of tracking.
How do I go about adding the URL? I have searched through these forums but cannot get it to work.
I am using Flash CS4 (selected to use AS 3 when I first created the file.)
From what I have read and understood, I should create a new layer, and then add the code to the first frame on that layer?
Exactly what code should I use? I tried something as simple as 'getURL("http://www.celonova.com","_self"); ' but that is not working. Is it bcos that is for AS 2 only?
My last question is...can I set up the link so that it works for ALL frames?
Sorry about the dumb questions but I am a complete newbie when it comes to the code side of Flash:(
Thank you VERY much in advance for your help!
Christine

Okay all,
I found some great tutorials for using the "invisible button" method, and have gotten it all to work (keeping my fingers crossed)!
Using AS 3:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt2_06.html
Using AS 2:

I hope this will be of help to someone & fellow newbies

What do you mean about opening a flash file? Do you want the
.fla file
to open in flash? Or is it a swf that you imported into
Director? Or
is it an exe that was published from flash? Or a website that
was
created with Flash?
If you are opening a .exe and you know the path to it, then
you can use
Director's built-in open command
open the moviePath&"flashFile.exe"
for most other things, I would use BuddyAPI. To open an exe,
baRunProgram(). To open a fla or swf, baOpenFile.
To make Director open a swf on the stage, import it and
simply tell the
button to go to that frame.

Layering and locking a h.264 movie on top of a flash file

Let me start by apologizing. My Flash skills far outdo my
DreamWeaver abilities, so I'm pretty new at the program.
I have run into a problem that has forced me back to DW and
that is for the video quality I need, I have to use Apple's H.264
codec; however, I cannot embed this in Flash like the flv's that I
was using. So my question is: Can I layer a .mov file on top of a
Flash file in Dreamweaver and lock it's position so that they stay
together? It seems that this is what Hollywood is doing with their
movie trailers on their websites. I would really appreciate any
feedback on this.

The standard solution is to set wmode="transparent" and <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> in your embed/object html, but that only helps to fix the problem in win/IE. The problem has been there on Adobe's own home page for years. If you're unlucky enough to use a Mac there's no effective solution for this problem.
