Referencing HTML page from within a movie clip
Hi
Hope someone can help with this.
I have a simple horizontal scrolling gallery of 24 thumbnails
in Flash, the thumbnail images are loaded into the boxes using
actionscript. I would like each thumbnail to link to a html page of
my choice. There is a movie clip instance called panel with the 24
buttons inside it and on the first button as a test I've placed the
following action script:
on (release) {
getURL("team.html","_self");
When testing this movie from within Flash (CTRL, ENT) the
button links to the html file (which is in the same folder as the
SWF) with no problem. The problem is when I preview the page in a
browser and try to click on the first button nothing is happening.
I've tried it in both IE7 and Firefox with the same result.
The flash thumbnail clip is placed as a flash object into a
html page using dreamweaver.
I'm sure this is something simple such as navigating the
timeline but I've tried a few things like _root. but still no joy.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks, Jo
Try
on (release) {
getURL("
http://site.com/team.html","_self");
}

IPhone SDK - Display HTML page from WITHIN package
Hi all,
As part of my iPhone app, I want to display an HTML page.
Now, I've got a browser component working just fine, and have no problem displaying anything on the web, but i don't know how to reference an html page that is WITHIN my application package.
I'd much rather do it this way, so that my app can be used offline.
I'm sure its a simple thing to do... anyone know what i need to do here to make this work?NSString *welcomeFile = [bundle pathForResource:@"welcome" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:@"files"];
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:welcomeFile]];
NSString *baseUrl = [bundle pathForResource:@"files" ofType:nil];

How can I check the progress of a Loader from within a movie clip?
Hi All,
I have a Loader called profileContentLoader that I create in AS3 on the main timeline, I would like to check the bytesLoaded of profileContentLoader from within a movieclip thats in another movieclip....
I tried:
MovieClip(root).profileContentLoader.bytesLoaded
but that doesn't work....
Thanks for any helpThe Loader class uses a LoaderInfo class object to do its loading event informational bidding. Look into the contentLoaderInfo property of the Loader class and then followup looking at the LoaderInfo class to see what you can make use of from it.

Instantiating Objects from the library from within the movie clip
Ive been Instantiating Library object from linked external
action script files and it works fine.
var PPEbtn1 = new btnPPE;
but when i try to do it from within the main swfs timeline it
fails to work and i recieve an error if anyone could please help it
would be most apreciated. thanksYou need to get the application domain of the external swf
and use its getDefinition method. Cast the result to a Class and
then you can instantiate the symbol.
Here's some example code where "library" is an externally

Referencing static html pages from jsps...
Hi,
This is probably a very simple thing to solve, but I'm having problems with referencing
html pages from jsps under Weblogic.
I get Error 404 - not found, whenever I try something like this in a JSP...
<frame name="title" src="title.html" scrolling=no>
The title.html file has definitely been copied into my ear file, and yet it isn't
found. I can solve the problem by turning title.html into a jsp and registering
it in web.xml. But this seems like serious overkill with static content!!
Am I missing something really simple here?
I've worked it out - directory mistake...
Thanks,
Chris

How to remove a function on the main timeline within a movie clip
How do you remove a function that is coded on a frame in the main timeline from within a movie clip? I tried this, but no dice:
infoGraphicDisparity.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);
function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void
parent.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, parent["enterFrameHandler"]);
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay("disparity");
this is the event I am trying to remove:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
any help would be appreciated as always.
Thanks!from any frame (that executes after enterFrameHandler is defined) in any display object in the display list
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, MovieClip(root).enterFrameHandler); -

Hi adobespurs,
To extract pages from a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. Please see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

Making Button links within a movie clip
I am attempting to learn more Flash in general and
actionscript in particular. I have created a flash piece that
consists of 4 buttons within a movie clip that is being masked by
another movie clip. One movie is the set of 4 buttons. The other
movie is a "spotlight" that moves with the cursor. As the spotlight
shines on each button, the button's text changes color and is "lit
up".The Over state of each button is set to cause the button to
change color. When I put a keyframe in the Down state of each
button in order to add actionscript to create the action that makes
the button clickable to take the viewer to a web page, it tells me
that no actions can be given to this Down state. If I try using
Behaviors to accomplish the same thing, it tells me that Behaviors
are not supported. If I put actionscript into the actions layer of
the timeline, it does not do the required action, i.e. clicking on
the buttons leads nowhere. I have tried moving the actionscript
before, between, and after the setInterval and setMasker
actionscript that controls the interaction between the two movie
clips (which work perfectly). I have tried inserting an actions
layer into the button movie clip--same result--nothing. I have
tried putting the actionscript in the second frame of the actions
layer (both in the main timeline and in the movie clip), all to no
avail. I did give each button an instance name and used them in the
actionscript.
Here is the actionscript I am using for one of the buttons:
book.onPress = function(){
book.getURL("http.//www.bainbridge.wednet.edu");
I do not get an error message with this actionscript. I just
don't get sent to the web page. I am using Flash 8.
What else I should be doing? Is this a problem because the
cursor is already attached to an action? I am sure that this must
be possible, if only I knew more.
Thanks for helping.do you have the actual mc identified as ( book ) on the root
as well as the code i posted above? if so, are the code and the mc
on the same frame? also you should note that the code posted above
is meant to be placed on your root time line, not directly on the
mc identified as ( book ). one more thing: you must target your mc
( book ) correctly.
target like this:
IF YOU ARE ON THE MAIN TIME LINE ( _root ):
// if ( book ) is setting on the _root already then your
target path is simply book.onRelease.
// if ( book ) is setting inside another movieclip on the
_root, find out what movieclip ( book )
// resides in. that will now be the first part of your target
path.
// next find out if ( book ) resides in yet another
movieclip. if so, that will be the next part of
// your target path.
// continue this until you reach ( book ). the entire path
you took to reach ( book ) is your
// target path.
// you can also click on the target icon in your actionscript
pane to insert a target path for
// your movieclip.
here is an example in which ( book ) resides inside another
movie clip ( yourMovieClip ) on your _root:
yourMovieClip.book.onRelease = function () {
getURL("
http://www.cnn.com/"); -
Problems coding a button within a movie clip to navigate scenes
Hello there! I've got another probably noobish question to ask about CS6.
My goal is very similar to the one mentioned in this previously discussed forum question: http://forums.adobe.com/message/837995#837995 and also in this question http://forums.adobe.com/message/4172919#4172919
I am attempting to make a button inside a movie clip in my first scene go when clicked to the first frame of my second scene. I named the button's instance menu_button_1 and I believe Scene 1 and Scene 2 are the names of the scenes. (If they should have special names or instance names, I did not see where to type them.) Because of the similarities, I attempted to follow the suggestions on those pages. However I probably did some small thing wrong, (Or heck, maybe a huge thing.) which I what I'd like help with to find.
stop();
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 1");
This seemed to be what was suggested to enter. I attempted to modify it to work for me as well. This is what I typed for the button's action.
menu_button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");
(I removed the stop function because I have music looping in the movie clip that I want to play until the mouse is clicked.) (Also, I picked gotoandplay because I wanted scene 2 to start playing immediately when clicked rather than stopping.)
I tried variations, including "2" instead of "scene 2" and whatnot. I also tried linking it to differnet places just to see if that would work. It seems like it could link if I only asked for a frame within the movie clip itself, but it couldn't go to any other frames in scene 1 or scene 2. When I attempt, this message is displayed in the output:
ArgumentError: Error #2108: Scene 2 was not found.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at interactivestgermant_fla::menu_1/clickHandler()
It seems it cannot find my Scene 2. (It also cannot seem to find Scene 1 when I prompt it to do that.) I'm afraid I'm not sure of what I've entered incorrectly, though I'd imagine it involves how I typed the scene navigation. Should it have an instance name or something? I'd very muchappreciate a push in the right direction. If you need any more info I'll be happy to provide it. Thanks for the help! I very much appreciate it.I bet you're absolutely right. However I am not sure how I am misnaming it, as to my ametuer eyes, it seems to be entered properly into the properties box? It does show up as "menu" written in white over the keyframes and also in the properties slot. I can include some images here to help out in correcting me.
http://girlfoxgirl.deviantart.com/art/Flash-Help-1-395704638 This image shows my movie clip. This seems to be the problem it's having, identifying "menu." Did I do that incorrectly? It looks to be in order.
http://girlfoxgirl.deviantart.com/art/Flash-Help-2-395704633 This is inside of the movie clip named menu. You can see I did the same to name the button menu_button_1.
http://girlfoxgirl.deviantart.com/art/Flash-Help-3-395704627 This shows the action I gave to menu_button_1 in which I attempt to have it naviagte to Scene 1 frame 493.
http://girlfoxgirl.deviantart.com/art/Flash-Help-4-395704623 This shows where I'd like the button to go to. (It is hard to tell if that's frame 493 or 492. I figured that it should be ok either way and if this frame is 492 then it's easily changed once I get the darn thing working in general) (Also, I named the layer "peanuts." I tired entering the name "peanuts" as well but it didn't seem to work either, so I figured "493" is easier since I know that you can go to a specific frame by doing gotoandplay("scene 1" , #) and I'm not sure if it requires any additional stuff to go to a name.
http://girlfoxgirl.deviantart.com/art/Flash-Help-5-395704687 These are the errors I get. I totally agree with you- It seems very much to be an issue of getting it to recognize the "menu." However I am unsure where I named something wrong. Is this enough info to help you perhaps point out where that is? -
Button within a movie clip not working
Hiya,
I have a movie clip within my swf website that is basically
an icon that you roll over to produce the menu. The movie clip has
coding inside it to produce the rollover effect. This is as
follows:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
Whilst this coding works fine for this movie clip, for some
reason the buttons within the movie clip that appear as you
rollover them will not work when pressed. I am trying to get them
to navigate the main timeline, i.e. coding as follows:
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("home")
_parent should be correct, I've tried it without and with
_parent._parent however still it has no effect. From what I can see
everything should be working fine.
Is there some reason why buttons will not work within this
sort of roll over effect movie clip?
Thanks for your help.you can't assign mouse handlers to a parent movieclip and
expect a child movieclip to respond to mouse events: the parent
will intercept those events.
to remedy, either assign all your mouse handlers on the child
generation movieclips or use a hitTest() for one of the
generations. -

How can I open a HTML page by pressing a button on the stage?
I've created a rollover button and I'm trying to make it open
an existing html page from the local disk (not an internet URL).
But I can't make it open with Lingo or behaviour.
Please help.
Thanks a lot.
Gideon.goToNetPage "
http://somewhere.html" is the
typical form for a page on
the web, director must use the address format the system's
browser uses
for local files, this is somewhat platform dependant, a
practical
aproach is to open the file in question from within your
browser then
copy and paste the displayed address into your lingo code.
Some report the goToNetPage counterpart provided by the
buddyAPI xtra
works more reliably, the xtra can be used for free if limited
to a
couple of functions.
An alternate approach buddyAPI can use is to have the browser
directly
access the html file as if it were double clicked in the file
manager
using the same form commonly used to open PDF files with
acrobat.
(sorry I don't have example code handy) -
Re: run a HTML page from a class
Hi all
I was just wondering how i could invoke a static HTML page from a method within my class...Anybody know? Any help would be appreciated....a) show the page inside your gui:
JEditorPane htmlContainer = new JEditorPane(new File("yourhtmlfile.html").toURL());b) start a browser and show the page:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("yourhtmlfile.html");b will only work if your OS will automatically start the app related to the required filetype (here: *.html). normally newer Linux distributions, Win2000 or WinXP will do this...
not 100% sure - maybe you will have to use "cmd yourhtmlfile.html" instead of "yourhtmlfile.html"... -

You are probably better posting in the flash forum, as without seeing the code, (and if it is not standard flash html publish) they can probably better advise on a solution.
