Links in .swf blocked?

Hi!
I am designing a website in dreamweaver. I designed a banner and navigation bar in flash. (CS3)
My problem is that while the banner and nav bar work fine when previewed in flash, once I put them into dreamweaver and preview the site in my broswer the links do not work and I get this message:
For the time being the links go to google dot com. It doesnt seem to be a browser issue or an issue with my flash player settings.
Googling the problem gave me this: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/links-swf-files-dont-function.html
Basically, it is telling me I need to "allowscriptaccess = always" or tell the "navigateToURL to use "_blank" as the target" in the .swf. However, I would like the link to open on the same window/tab in the browser so I would prefer not doing it the "_blank" way.
I am more of a designer and new to coding in html and actionscript.
I have tried the method described in the Adobe help site but I must be doing it wrong.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
This is the Flash Player Security Warning that gets thrown when a local content is trying to communicate with the Internet. This is being done to protect you from potentially harmful content that could be used to send sensitive information stored on your computer or local network to locations on the Internet. However you can allow such contents to communicate with the Internet by trusting your local file/application and add the local file(s)/file location(s) to the Flash Player Settings Manager trusted list.
Please follow the detailed instructions posted at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/communicate-internet-flash-content.html to add your local content(s) to the list of trusted files and you may also want to set to 'Always allow' to avoid the warning once for all.
Let us know if this is of any help to you.
Thanks!

Link between swf files.

Hello. I need to find a way to link multiple .swf files, so I may have a menu and after clicking a button go from there to any swf file and back. But i need something that works in AS 2 and 3 because my files are in both ActionScripts. It shouldn't be a problem, right? Ive been looking for and trying different things but i can't do it.
Hope someone can help
Thanks.

Also I have this code that works in AS3 but only for one button, when I try to make another one flash marks error. I cant link another button with another file.
var loadedSWF:Loader = null;
* Loads an SWF and adds it to container once complete
* @param file The URL to the SWF to load
* @param container The container to add the SWF to
function loadSWF(file:String, container:MovieClip=null):void
    if(container == null) container = MovieClip(root);
    // removes the previously loaded SWF
    if(loadedSWF != null)
        if(loadedSWF.parent) loadedSWF.parent.removeChild(loadedSWF);
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file);
    loadedSWF = new Loader();
    loadedSWF.load(req);
    addChild(loadedSWF);
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _click);
function _click(e:MouseEvent):void
    loadSWF("myfile1.swf");

Display:block not showing anchor link as a block in IE9

The display:block CSS code is making the anchor link inside a div, i.e.
<div><a>some text</a></div>
behave as a block in a site viewed in Chrome etc.
However, it is not behaving like a block in IE9. Instead of the whole width of div which should behave like a block and be clickable, only the actual text of anchor link <a> is clickable.
Please advise on how to ensure the whole div behaves like a block in IE9 also.

I checked and found that the probable problem is as described below.
I have indicated the style for a.link and a.visited in the starting of the css file as
a:link { color:#009900; text-decoration: underline;}
a:visited { color: #4E5869; text-decoration: underline;}
Later in the css file, I have defined styles for cbt, cbt a, cbt a:link and cbt a:visited separately. the styles for cbt etc is as below:
cbt { display:block; float:none;
position: relative;
margin:5px 2px;
padding-left:1px;
padding-right:1px;
padding-top:5px;
padding-bottom:5px;
z-index:4;
clear:both; }
cbt a, cbt a:link { font-size: 1em;
text-decoration:none; text-align:justify;
text-justify:inter-word;
font-weight:normal;
word-wrap:break-word;
color:#00C; display:block; }
cbt a:visited { color:#CC0033; }
The anchor link a is nested inside cbt tag in the html file as
<cbt><a href="abc.com">some text</a></cbt>
Inspite of the above codes, the anchor link a inside cbt tag is not taking the styles defined with cbt a, cbt a:link, but is instead taking styles defined in a:link initially.
Hence they are behaving as inline elements in IE9 when hosted on remote server by taking the initial style defined.
However,when the same page are viewed on localhost in IE9, the links behave as block elements (taking the later defined styles). The links also behave as block elements inside Chrome browser when viewed on localhost as well as on remote server. In this situation the links are taking the styles defined later in the css file.
Please advise on why the css behaviour is so erratic.

Images not linking from .swf within Dreamweaver

I am hoping someone can help...it's probably an easy fix.
I had this simialar probelm of my .swf being too large (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3705787#3705787) So I went and linked all of the images.
I am placing the flash catalyst .swf into dreamweaver, adding a simple footer (for ios users that flash doesn't work for) and the uploading to the site.
This is how my folders look:
I have place the full 'deploy to web' folder within the _assets folder and placed the main.swf from this location, however when I go to the site none of the linked images are there - www.coocoocreative.com
Does anyone know where I am going wrong? (I have checked my hosting server and all the folders are there).
Thanks!

Ok...it was really simple and I figured that problem out. I wasn't linking the .swf relative to the site root' (ok ok, I'm still learning, please be patient )
Thanks!

EMail Link in SWF exported from InD CS5 does not work

I'm trying to find a definitive answer on this. I have designed an interactive document in InD CS5 that has buttons and hyperlinks. When exported to SWF everything works except my e-mail hyperlink. It works fine in InDesign's preview pane. I've uploaded the file to my webserver for testing, the problem still occurs.
I found one post in another forum that quoted an Adobe InD developer stating that as of CS4 email links were not exported. However, I've not been able to find any mention of whether this works in CS5 or not.
Does anybody know for sure whether or not email links work in SWF files exported from CS5?

Sorry, no offense was intended. I had found references to problems with CS4, but nothing about CS5, and said as much in my post -- was frustrated that I had spent a long time looking and hadn't found any responses yet.
You mentioned using buttons rather than hyperlinks, and that worked for me -- but it might have just been a problem with my browser not properly reloading the flash file, too -- as I mentioned in my response.
But in any case, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION!

Problem with link in SWF file

good day to you all in this great forum
my name is james and i want to see if i can find help here in the forum for my problem.
I'm building a site for my friend. (the site is in hebrew so sorry....)
for the site building I'm using the software iweb - on mac.
the site is almost complete but i have 1 big problem.
this is the link to the site - [URL="http://www.skip-up.com"]skip-up[/URL]
I'm using a head menu in flash
i have this flash from some template i downloaded from the internet and all i had to do is change the buttons names and to change the links of the buttons to point to my html pages.
and now to the problem :
to get to the problem in general - the flash head links don't work
if i press it in the site on godaddy nothing happens i just don't see the flash head and instead i dee a page that says something like "the page can not be found"
if i go to my desktop to my site directory and press the links the only thing that happened is that the button is changing the color like I'm in the right page but I'm still in the original page.
and the strange thing is that by if i only open up the SWF file and press the links are working
and it's open up my browser and to the right page
1. you can see the structure of the site here in this page :
[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/3962332346_432d004df2.jpg[/IMG]
what i have is the master index.html and 2 directories : - the first one
called flash and have 1 flash file (this file is o.k with no problem)
and the other directory had all my site files
2. like i said i got the original FLA file and all i did is changing the buttons
names and changing the links of the buttons
the links i changed in the actions menu - i just searched for the original
url and change the names to much my website html pages names
3. here is the original FLA actions menu - you can see that I'm standing on
one of the links :
[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3483/3961893129_2b8fc4ecd9.jpg[/IMG]
and here is my fla after the changes - as you can see i just changed the
name:
[IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2544/3962668872_8693f399ba.jpg[/IMG]
4. i uploaded all my site (it's small zip file) if someone wants to see more
i tried to describe everything in details because it's very important for
me to find a solution [URL="http://rapidshare.com/files/286059228/skipupsite.zip.html"]skip-up site download[/URL]
I'm really hopping there's somebody that will be kind to help me out
thank you very much

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.

Hope that helps.

Button to b clicked and large image shown on the stage(link to swf file here)

Direct link to swf file in IE

I have a setup where i am trying to make a hyperlink on a page that is to a youtube swf video load in an iframe on the same page. It is working successfully in firefox, but in IE it just gives an option to download the file and doesn't load it in the iframe.....i am wondering if there is any quick fix to this...or is there a way to make it where the hyperlink i have on the page, instead of going directly to the swf file, loads the embed code that is listed on youtube in the iframe...basically can you hyperlink to a youtube embed code

Post a link to the page so we can see it.

Linking between swf's - file size problem

I"m building a presentation & have two separate swf's. One is about 80 mb, the other is 40 mb. When I tried to export the larger one, I got a warning that it exceeded 16k frames. I figured out how to work around that. But now I need to integrate both swf's. If I take the smaller one & import it into the larger one as a new scene, will that blow up my export ability again? Can I link between two separate swf's using some sort of gotoAndPlay function? What are my options here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Linking between SWF files

I need to general advice while protyping my website. I'm
creating separate somewhat large swf files for each page of my
website. Therefore, each will need its own html file if I don't
want it take 3 years to go between pages. I'm confused how to link
between the each page using a button in flash. Is this an action
script thing? My links will be static text buttons. Thanks.

Thanks. I think I get it, but I want to be sure. I think I
need to be a little clearer:
One SWF file inserted as my entire index.html page. Right now
I have a static text button in the SWF file home page that says
"About Us". I'm designing a new page that will also be its own SWF
file for "About Us". I have a new www.xxxxx.com/aboutus.html page
that I plan to put the file in when finished. In the text button on
the homepage, do I use AS3 URLRequest("
http://www.xxxxxxx.com/aboutus.html")
to navigate. Thanks.

Url links in swf work in standalone, but not when opened in browser

I am currently using flash to create an electronic press kit.
In that, i have 2 links to youtube (since embedding the videos was
not an option, making the file too large), and one link to
yousendit for the viewer to be able to download a pdf file.
Now when i open the swf by double clicking on it (which i can
do, but when on another computer, that has flash player installed,
the swf will not open unless opened through a browser....not sure
if that is just something where you can open an swf strictly by
itself only if you actually have flash or what....that is another
issue), but anyways, when i open the swf by itself, the links work
correctly. once opened through a browser, the links do not work.
Safari error:
Adobe flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe
operation.
The following local application of your computer or network:
(location of swf on harddisk)
is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled location:
youtube.com
To let this application communicate with the internet, click
SETTINGS.
You must restart this application after changing your
settings.
Of course i did that, and it didnt happen.
My question is however, even if this is a simple security
issue/setting within the browser, is there any way to get around
this? Because when sending this press kit out, the last thing i
want is for the viewer to have to take the time to change their
browser settings and try to get this to work and all that stuff.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can also download this swf at the following link:
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...661F585ACE0521

The reason the swf doesn't open up by itself on other
computers is that it needs a Stand Alone Flash Player to do so.
Most people have the Flash plug-in for their browsers, but not the
stand alone player. If you are sending it out as a self contained
file you need to make a Projector file. It contains the SA + swf in
one file, which adds weight. Also, you need to make a Windows one
and and a Mac one. If you are using CS3, I think you can make a
Abobe AIR app that is universal, granted you install the free AIR
plug-in controlls for Flash ( I THINK. My knowlege is not totally
up to date) .
As for the links not working in the browser, its seems like
they should work. Your posted link for the file is broken, so
couldn't see. What is your code for the buttons? Are you calling
JavaScript in your html page? I've had problem with that usually a
syntax error or IE.

Integrating a link to .swf (on same computer) from powerpoint?

This is a bit "off base," but I thought someone here may be able to help. I am working on some interactive animations for an upcoming meeting. Ideally, I would love to be able to have an interactive slide within powerpoint, however – don't think that is even possible.
That being said, I would like to place a link within a powerpoint presentation, so that when you click it, it launches a browser window and displays the .swf – preferably not online, just within a browser window.
Currently, when I try this, it is trying to open up flash to read the .swf, anyone have any experience with something like this?

I don't know what's involved or limited with embedding Flash in a PP presentation... If it were mine to conquer, I'd probably avoid PP and just use Flash for the presentation.
If you want to link to a browser then you need to link to an html web page containing the Flash content, not an swf file. That will trigger opening a browser. If you target the link at the swf file it should open the Flash Player, not the Flash editing software, though it may kick and scream along the way regarding security issues.

Linking to SWF file

Hello,
I have no problem linking movies together, but is there any
way to make it so that when I link to a movie it opens the SWF file
instead of the HTML file?
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

You are welcome. Nothing wrong with your boss wanting to
operate the LMS from SWF LOs embedded in HTML documents. But the
boss's decision to serve the SWF from a container not intended nor
constructed for it, is, er, um, uh, less than the wisest possible
choice that might be made.
You know the problem and I've given you the solution. If your
boss is basing his or her decision on knowledge I am missing, ask
him or her to drop me a line and explain ... my email address is in
my profile at left, and all the boss has to do is include a link to
this thread in the body of the email.
I can't help beyond that, and wouldn't bother anyway, knowing
ahead of time that your boss will direct you to ignore any advice
other than his or her own anyway. Shucks, I don't think I'd want to
take advice from a guy like me, either! Have a great day, in any
case!

Linking 2 swfs

I've created 2 sepreate but related swfs in Catalyst. I want to link them together. Is there a way to do this?

intro.swf is timeline based so when its last frame is
reached, you want to load xxx.swf? or you want to load intro.swf
when the flv completes play? or something else determines when the
into finishes?
