Properly Linking a Flash Animation to a URL
Hi Folks,
I'm Running CS4, AS3. Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.
I was asked to link a Flash banner ad to a URL. To accomplish this, I created a new layer with one keyframe in frame 1, which spans the whole animation. In this layer I entered the ActionScript in REFERENCE 1. It works fine in several browsers, including IE8, FF3.6, and Chrome, and works for the customer. Then....
Their webmaster emailed back saying that he "did not see any links in the new banner." I'm not sure what this means, and if he actually tested the code.
They sent me an example from a previous developer, which is REFERENCE 2.
I compared it to what I published--which was generated by the CS4 "Publish" option. This is REFERENCE 3.
Did I do something wrong? Everything works in all my tests, and they work for the customer.
It looks like they're missing a lot of information from the header. It is much smaller than the header that CS4 generates. They also have a link under the <!--url's used in the movie--> comment. Could this affect the performance? To my knowledge, this is obsolete. Perhaps they used an older version of Flash?
tyvm!
REFERENCE 1: ACTIONSCRIPT TO MAKE BANNER A LINK.
stage.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void
var url:String = "http://www.URL.com/";
var window:String = "_blank";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try
navigateToURL(request,window);
catch (e:Error)
trace("Page unavailable. Please refresh this page to try again.");

You should check with whoever made the comment regarding the links -- it's not clear though it may refer to the difference between these lines in 2 and 3.
2)
<!--url's used in the movie-->
<a href="http://www.URL.com/"></a>
3)
<!--url's used in the movie-->
So you may just need to add some link after that line to appease them? So asking is your best means to resolution for that.
As far as your mention of a more robust head section goes, there is probably no difference between the two--they both use the AC_FL_RunContent coding to embed the Flash file. The REF3 head section just contains all of the javascript code that is in the file they are linking in the following line...
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script>

HOW CAN PUT A LINK ON A FLASH ANIMATION
I NEED TO PUT A LINK IN A FLASH ANIMATION, I CREATE THE

INSERT A LINK IN THAT ANIMATION
(NOT NEED AN URL) I NEED A SIMPLE LINK FOR EXAMPLE:< A

THANKSYou cannot put an HTML link on a Flash object. You would have
to do that in
Flash.
By the way, your keyboard is stuck in caps.

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.

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
thanksflash 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.

Good luck with your project!

Get border when resizing flash anim in dreamweaver
Hello, I'm needing some help , I'm not sure weather its something i'm doing in dreamweaver or weather I need to export the flash anim with the document properties just a little bit smaller than the flash anim when exporting when in theory shouldn't have to do?
the problem I'm having is I export a flash anim out of flash I make sure the document properties and the flash anim line up so theres no visible boarder when exiting.
when I'm at the button stage and drag onto the stage to be able to export, ( sometimes I find that the flash border - say if my anim is 220 by 185 . when i click on it (dragged button with movie inside from libarary to stage)
the stage - as I am told I can't export a flash anim with an alpha white off the flash stage I have to make the stage the same size as the button -
So i make the stage size 220 by 185 when I'm dragging the button to line up to the stage I find sometimes its off?
Is there a better way to export a flash anim as it is without having to change stage properties then dragging the button to fit the stage then get url options ect.
anyways. I am finding that I am having to make the stage size (in flash ) a few extra pixels smaller than the box button 220 by 185 so what i'm doing is making the stage say 218 by 183 to then draggin the button inbetween the lines on the doccument border in flash. then exporting.
I find if i Don't do this sometimes in dreamweaver, when I open dreamweaver instert app div then import swf into the app dif then resize the swf I get a boarder.
But even then I find sometimes if i do an app div then insert media swf and resize the swf i get a border, say if i make the boarder properties in flash red.
sometimes I get a red boarder.
but on other pages say i have a about page I resized it its fine then on another page import app dive then impor the exact same swf file resize it it suddenly gets a boarder (i'm testing using red backround in flash when exporting as a movie.
why do sometimes I get a boarder around swf in an app div when importing into dreamweaver.
thanks kindlyI read this twice and still don't quite know what you're asking. Flash questions are best posted in the Flash forum.
Animations used in Web pages should be sized appropriately before you bring them into Dreamweaver. Same goes for static images. If you need a 200px wide banner, design it at 200px wide.
As for APDivs, honestly don't know why you would need one. A regular CSS division (no positioning) is all that's required for 98% of layouts. http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
For answers to layout questions, we need a link to your test page.

How to finish flash movie before loading url
I'm pretty new at web design but I've picked up Flash through some tutorials. I'm a bit stuck on how to do the following:
When you click on one of my home page buttons I want my flash animation movie to finish THEN link to url.
I tried adding an eventListener for the tween to 'finish' and then added a link to url to the button but it either linked immediately or the movie finished and didn't link at all.
Here is an example of the code for the button and animation:
rentals_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rentalsClick);
function rentalsClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("rentalsClick");
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(Truck_mc,"x",Regular.easeInOut,Truck_mc.x,-378,4,true);
var myyTween:Tween=new Tween(Truck_mc,"y",Regular.easeInOut,Truck_mc.y,0,4,true);
after this x, y, animation finishes I wish for the button to link to my rentals page url. In all of the sections to my site, I want to be able to link to separately so I didn't design the flash to animate to each section. I want it to link to the url.
Any help would be really appreciated.Your attempt to listen for the end of the tween would have been th correct approach, so maybe your coding of it is off...
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
rentals_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rentalsClick);
var myxTween:Tween;
var myyTween:Tween;
function rentalsClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("rentalsClick");
myxTween = new Tween(Truck_mc,"x",Regular.easeInOut,Truck_mc.x,-378,4,true);
myyTween = new Tween(Truck_mc,"y",Regular.easeInOut,Truck_mc.y,0,4,true);
myyTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, moveOn);
function moveOn(TweenEvent):void {
myyTween.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, moveOn);
navigateToURL(...etc); -
Is there anyway to add links to flash files in Dreamweaver.
For example - I created a flash file that tranistions through a few
different images. I placed it on my home page in Dreamweaver and I
want people to be able to click the flash animation and go to
another page within my site. Is there anyway to do this within
Dreamweaver or do I have to place a url link in my Flash
file?Yeah. I see now.

ThanksYou are making your life miserable by bouncing your database every now and again. Rather then analyzing your SGA and other things to look out for performance bottelneck, you prefer to bounce your database to, which seems to be temporary solution. Since I don't have enough information to offer suggestions,
I would ask you run a statspack report for no more then 20 minutes when you feel the performnce at it's worst and analyze it for perfromnce bottelnecks.

(Web Logic 6.1.4)
On my WL server in "web.xml" configuration file of my web-application I have
correctly defined the MIME-type for shockwave flash animations and I can see
it if I open it directly (direct link on .SWF file). But I'd like to have
the classic and proper approach showing SWF file inside HTM file using
OBJECT/EMBED tags. I created HTM file with OBJECT/EMBED tags and I can see
my flash animation in it if I run this page directly by IE but if I put this
HTM file on server and try to see it served by WL server it does not work!
How to solve this issue?
Stjepan BrbotWell thanks Ned, I do apologize for the shortness of the post, i was in a bit of a rush. I also assumed this would be easy to infer as its quite simple.
The flash animation can be seen here - http://www.blakecorp.com. it shows three blocks which move around a bit.
The user should be able to click on a block and this should lead to a url.
I have tried various geturl combos on various events all over the code and nothing works.
I am not a flash guru so apologies if I cant give you a design of this as I did not write it.
I think the problem is that the images etc are not buttons but I am struggling to find a way to make this work.
This is probably 10 minutes work for a flash programmer
Any help appreciated.
Thanks -
How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?
I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
website, and I want to link each of the images to different
galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
button?
I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
create a button:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
-> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
I have attached to this post.
I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
received the error.
I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
Here is the code I used to create my first button. -
How to remove the button "play" and "stop" in that flash animation?

Ah, and how to put the link to a page by clicking on this open a flash site?How to do it step-by-step? Because i'm beginner in FLash and that things of animation, codes, functions...
And I create that simple animation in other program, not using the Adobe Flash, but I think can be edited that file animation in Flash because I have the files ".swf" and ".flv"...
I don't know how to do it in Adobe Flash CS3, but I have that program installed in my pc, then can you talk me what to do it?

Making a Link in Flash Professional 8
Hey,
I'm wondering how to make a link in Flash Professional 8, any tutorials around?Linking to a web page and linking to another section of the same Flash file involves different code. I'll show you examples of both wrt using a button for the interactive control.
In this case the button is assigned an instance name of linkBtn (it's assign in the properties panel). The code I show is placed on a frame that is the same as the button (different layers for good housekeeping).
Link to web page:
linkButton.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.yoursite.com/page.html");
Link to section (section starts on a frame having a label... "section1"):
linkButton.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("section1");
OR
linkButton.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("section1");
The difference between the two for the section link would depend on whether section1 is an animated timeline piece that would play when you get there or a self-contained movieclip that has controls of its own. -
Thank you sincerly for any help in advance.
A link from my animation is locked inside the dimensions of the original animation. the link should go to new url but opens in i frame instead, scroll-able, within the dimensions of the beginning edge animation from which it linked.
Here is the landing page edge asset and the link is the center pulsing sand grain:
http://kkz321.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
Here is the actions javascript file from the animation. I'm not sure if it's the source.
"landing_hourglass_3_edgeActions.js"
(function($,Edge,compId){var Composition=Edge.Composition,Symbol=Edge.Symbol;
//Edge symbol: 'stage'
(function(symbolName){Symbol.bindElementAction(compId,symbolName,"${_landing_sand_grain}", "click",function(sym,e){window.open("http://kkz321.businesscatalyst.com/welcome.html","_self");});
//Edge binding end
Symbol.bindElementAction(compId,symbolName,"document","compositionReady",function(sym,e){$ ("#Stage").css("margin","auto")});
//Edge binding end
})("stage");
//Edge symbol end:'stage'
})(jQuery,AdobeEdge,"EDGE-landing_hourglass_3");
Here is snippet of CSS from main css page:
#EdgeIDlanding_hourglass_3 {
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;
margin-top: 5%;
Here is snippet of HTML from main START INDEX page:

remove the width and height out of the html object ( width="222" height="454" )
that would probably solve it
or change it to the pages width and height -
I notived that the links inside my flash header do not work
on this page as well as other pages inside this directory. The
links do work in the root directory. Does someone know how to fix
this problem I am having? Here is the link:
http://www.school-psychologist.com/nick/worshipping/creative.html
The action script URL setting is index.html, about.html, etc.
For some reason when you click the following link, the flash header
sends the user to
http://www.school-psychologist.com/nick/worshipping/index.html
instead of
http://www.school-psychologist.com/nick/index.html
Thanks a bunch!!impossible to say other then your code is wrong - always
always always copy/paste the code in
question or we have nothing to go by - but flash simply does
not replace urls with other urls - you
must have the wrong code on the wrong button and missed
something simple.
