Loader disabling HTML links on page

I've designed a slide show player using Actionscript 3.0 which loads several external images. While the images are loading, the HTML links on my page (outside of the Flash movie) don't work. As soon as all the images are loaded, the links start working again. It seems like the Flash player is hijacking the browser while the images are loading which can take the better part of a minute depending on my connection speed. I can click an HTML link once during the loading time and as soon as the images have loaded, the browser loads the new page (the one the HTML links to). Once all the images are in my Temporary Internet Files folder, this problem ceases to exist (since the images no longer need to be downloaded). It's only first-time viewers that will have this problem, but it's a pretty major problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got a suggestion on the Dreamweaver Forum:
"...You could write some code inside the Flash item, that detects bandwidth and only loads images with delay, when the connection is idle. I'm sure you can find enough examples of such behaviors in pre-loader samples of any kind and some of it is already pre-defined in later versions of Flash..."
Can anyone tell me how to write this code or point me to some examples that use it?

  • Flash hijacking HTML links while images are loading

    I've designed a slide show player using Flash and Actionscript 3.0 which loads several external images. While the images are loading, the HTML links on my page (outside of the Flash movie) don't work. As soon as all the images are loaded, the links start working again. It seems like the Flash player is hijacking the browser while the images are loading which can take the better part of a minute depending on my connection speed.

    To see what I'm talking about, go to:
    http://www.ericlindberg.com/indexTemp.html
    Click the Images button after the "Loading..." animation disappears but before all the images are loaded. As the images load the thumbnails at the bottom of the Flash player go from 50% to 100% opaque. If  you click the "Images" button before all the thumbnails are 100% opaque, nothing happens. However, once they are all loaded and the thumbnails are all 100% opaque, the "Images" page loads. You can do the same thing with any of the subpages in the Images section of the site and get the same results.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I have something similar on my site.

    You might try using CSS rollovers instead of MM (javascript) rollovers.  Straight HTML links load fast and work immediately.

  • Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

    Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
    I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
    with the same results, which are...
    Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
    I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
    I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
    Any advice on
    a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
    b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
    that might convert more accurately?
    many thanks

    Thank you Roger!
    I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
    It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
    I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
    Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
    If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

  • How to load different html files in one page in order to load them without leaving the main stage?

    Hello,
    I'm new with edge animate, but i fell in love with it.
    I'd like to know, is it possible to load different html pages dynamically in the main stage in order to avoid the preloader to be load?
    I can figure out how to save all the pages of the site, but i can't merge them in a continuous animated browsing experience.
    As sample.
    I've got a index.html and home.html, how to switch form index to home without having a clear division between the two pages?
    I can place all the animations within a file and this will allow me to have a continuous surfing experience but it won't generate specific and google indexable pages within the site.
    Example, index.html will generate www.mysite.com, home will generate www.mysite.com/home. How ho switch dinamically between them and integrate them in a unique fading experience?
    Thanks in advance for any help. I'm a newby, but i would like to learn.
    Fea.

    Look into using the Loader class to load the swf files.  If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

  • Mouse over HTML link causes single frame to display at top of page Netscape only

    Having a wierd problem. When you run the mouse over HTML
    links on the page a single frame of the flash movie apears at the
    top center of the page. It only happens in netscape in firefox
    mode. IE, Opera, and Firefox do not have the problem.
    Problem site
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vorsch

    The problem goes away if i modify my .css file by removing
    the
    border: 1px solid #999999;
    line from the "a:hover" style.
    I ran my css file thru the validator at w3c and its fine. The
    Page also validates as xhtml transitional.
    and just a note the same file version is on my public server
    and my testing server.
    Has anyone ever seen this before?? I have several sites with
    a:hover effects and flass media and have never run across this
    before.

  • FrameMaker 11 on "Start New, Linked Web Page" in HTML setup

    FrameMaker 11 doesn't let me use certain paragraph tags to save certain FM files into separate HTML files.  After I checked the box "Start New, Linked Web Page", that item has a Y in the Reference Pages for new web page, but it was being switched back to N during the process of Save As HTML, right in front me.  It worked for some other Paragraph Tags, however.  Would someone please tell what I missed?  Thanks!!

    That's ok.  I had the work-around by using the paragraph tag that worked,
    so it's working now, although I'm still puzzled about the other tag.
    Thank you anyway!

  • How to insert an HTML link into a page

    Hello,
    We have a list of documents in a external document management system. We would like to present the list of documents to the user for retrieval from within any SRM HTML page.
    I was thinking of two different approaches:
    1) I would like to be able to insert an HTML link to a URL of documents for display to the end user.
    2) Alternatively, we might want to inject some javascript into the screen to handle the presentation of the links.
    We would like this functionality to work on any of the screens within SRM as global functionality.
    Any suggestions on how to customize SRM to handle this functionality request?
    (Will reward points very quickly)

    Hi,
    My project has a requirement to show URL in Bid Invitation screen. In turn, when user clicks that hyperlink, it will pop-up a web dynpro screen.
    Maybe this is the same with your need.
    In case this is the same, the trick is to define an additional field in bid invitation custom header with customized data element and customized domain.
    Then, defined conversion exit for the domain with javascript line such as "<html> bla bla </html>" to pop-up the web dynpro screen in modal dialog.
    The result will be as what I have above.
    Hopefully this can help you.

  • HTML link to a page

    Hi,
    on the home page I've created different HTML regions.. within each region I want to put some text and links to other pages (within the same application)... Please advice how to do it...
    Thanks

    In HTML regions, you can add whatever you like into the Region Source setting.
    If you want to add in a link to a page, you can do:
    &lt;a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION."&gt;Link to page 1&lt;/a&gt;That is a link to page 1. If you need to pass data into fields on page 1, you have to add additional text to the link. See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/concept.htm#sthref112 for information about the URL syntax
    Note that you need to remember that you are constructing HTML within the region source - so use &lt;br&gt; for linebreaks etc

  • Struts - HTML:link tag with dynamic page attribute?

    I am trying to use the html:link but the page value is dynamic (resulting from the bean within the iterate tag). The code below doesn't work - error. Is there a way to use all Struts tags and make this happen. Any ideas?
            <logic:iterate id="myMenuForm" property="menuItem" scope="session" name="menuForm" >          <html:link page="<bean:write name="myMenuForm" property="menuDisplayName"/>">                  <bean:write name="myMenuForm" property="menuDisplayName"/>          </html:link>        </logic:iterate> Thanks,
    mlv

    Thanks for all your help. Based on all you your comments, it is now working
    and I thought I would provide some details about how I got it working.
    There are not that many examples within the Struts documentation.
    id = unique name for the object that can be referenced within the iterate
    tag.
    name = is the Bean, in this case it's the ActionForm, that contains the List
    object that will be iterated. In my case, I have a ActionForm that contains
    a List property that contains all the menu item rows from the databse.
    property = is the property name within the ActionForm that is the List
    object. Links to the getter method
    Within the <bean:write> tag you use the id name to get a handle on the final
    object from the iterate tag and the property is one of the property values
    within the bean that is contained within the List.
    So in this case I have a ActionForm bean that contains a List property that
    contains a collection of beans.
    FormAction - bean
    property menuItems of type List contains:
    - row 1 = bean (with a property of menuDisplayName)
    - row 2 = bean (with a property of menuDisplayName)
    - row 3 = bean (with a property of menuDisplayName)
    Here's the JSP code for the tag.
            <logic:iterate id="myMenuForm" name="menuForm" property="menuItem" >
              <html:link page="www.yahoo.com"/>
                      <bean:write name="myMenuForm" property="menuDisplayName"/>
              </html:link>
            </logic:iterate>Now I would like to make the <html:link> page attribute value dynamic from
    the iterate bean. Therefore, you can make the url for the link dynamic If
    you know how to do that, please feel free to provide some help.

  • Is it possible to load an html page inside a JavaFX application?

    Hi
    Is it possible to load an html page inside a JavaFX application?
    Thank you!
    Alexandra.

    Actually it is very simple to load an HTML page inside a JavaFX application.
    var html:JTextPane = new JTextPane();
    html.setPage("http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/message.html");
    Stage
        scene: Scene
            content:
                ScrollView
                    node:SwingComponent.wrap(html)
    }A JavaFX application "tainted" by Swing is still a JavaFX application, isn't it?
    Loading an HTML page into a native JavaFX control would be a different story. It is hard.
    I don't think it is a top priority for JavaFX team to develop a control to render HTML. Using a Swing component, which supports HTML well, does not make a JavaFX application inferior. But, if JavaFX team could make a fully functional embedded browser control supporting HTML, JavaScript, etc., I would applaud that effort wholeheartedly.
    Right now, JTextPane inside a JavaFX application will crash the system, display gibberish, hang for ever or go haywire inexplicably, if JavaScript is used in the HTML page.

  • Loading HTML or PHP page in flash

    Hi,
    I would like someone to tell me if there is a way to load html or php page in flash just like a movieclip without actually navigating from the flash player(by using getURL code). Basically, I am wondering if there is a way to load a html file just like we load movieclips and perform all the functions of html page.
    Thanks,
    Abinash

    No.  Flash can only display html content in textfields and only supports a very limited number of html tags (look up the htmlText property of TextFields).  So to display an html/php file is not possible.

  • Logout link disable on OAF standard page

    Hi guys,
    Plz tell me how to disable logout link on all OAF pages in R12 ? Is it possible to through page personalization or need to some customization/extension of oaf page ?
    My requirement is like.... after the user login, he is not able to click on logout link ......in that case he need to close window through close button (X) of Internet Explore.
    plz guys put ur suggestion & solution and help me out...............................
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As per Dev guide, we can hide the global links for seeded OAF page using below code...
    At runtime, there are rare occasions when you might need to do the following (we say "rare" because, by
    definition, global buttons are universally applicable, so it is fairly uncommon to disable or hide them if a user
    has function security access):
    To hide or disable an individual global button, use the following processRequest code:
    if (< condition >)
    OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
    // You must call prepareForRendering() if the following code is
    // included in a pageLayout controller. If you add it further down
    // in the layout hierarchy, the menus will be fully processed so you
    // don't need to do this.
    page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
    OAGlobalButtonBarBean buttons = (OAGlobalButtonBarBean)page.getGlobalButtons();
    // Note OA Framework automatically assigns global buttons their corresponding
    // function name, so this is how you find them.
    OAGlobalButtonBean button =
    (OAGlobalButtonBarBean)buttons.findIndexedChildRecursive("<FUNCTION_NAME>");
    238
    // Note that you wouldn't do both at the same time...
    button.setRendered(false); // Hide the global button, or
    button.setDisabled(true); // Disable the global button so it renders, but is
    not selectable
    To hide all the global buttons, use the following processRequest code:
    Warning: Hiding all the global buttons is not recommended; you must get UI team approval before doing this,
    and you must verify that there isn't a declarative alternative (for example, you could create multiple "Home
    Page" menus for your application and alternate between the one with and the one without global buttons).
    if (< condition >)
    OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
    page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
    page.setGlobalButtons((UINode)null); // Must come after prepareForRendering()
    // And, if for some reason, you don't want to display any tabs,
    // do the following.
    page.setTabs(null);
    The standard global buttons that appear in all applications (Home, Logout, Preferences, and Help) are
    included in a seeded menu called ICX_STANDARD_GLOBAL_MENU.
    In u r case,
    ICX_LOGOUT--- Function Name attached to ICX_STANDARD_GLOBAL_MENU.
    Logout--- is the User Function Name
    Refer metalink note *1308823.1* this helps how to remove preferences link on all oa pages.. similarly u can use this for logout.
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks,
    Raghav.
