Relative url to call flash movie

Please help..
I want to use a flash movie (a.swf) in a shocked piece on a
server. The a.swf file is in the same folder with the authorware
files on the server and is supposed to call other files while it is
running. How do I call the a.swf as an external media using a
relative rather than an absolute url. I tried embedding the a.swf
file in the authorware piece but when it runs it does not call the
other files.

If you're sure they won't be behind a firewall or proxy, you
can use
NetLocation to do the relative reference.

Opening URLs in a flash movie

Hi Everyone,
I tried posting this in the general flash forum with no sucess. I'm guessing my question is more geared towards AS3 anyway. So here goes:
I've created a flash intro for a website and I have it setup so that in the first frame of the intro it opens a popup window, and then in the last frame it opens the actual site in the same window as the intro. Right now when it hits the last frame it opens up the popup window a second time! In a lot of cases this would be fine but the popup is a music player and the two players playing on top of eachother just doesnt work.
The code I've used for opening the popup window is:
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("player.html"); navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
the code used in the last frame to move to the site is:
var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest('index2.html');
navigateToURL(urlReq,'_self');
Any help would be appreciated!
I have the site in question in a temp location currently and it can be viewed here: http://www.janosoto.com/temp
Thanks!

Wow, simply amazing! This did the trick, and I thank you very much!
Now that I've gotten this project finished it makes me want to learn more about flash, and AS3 in particular. Funny how a simple solution can ease so much stress. I had set it up so that instead of on the first frame launching the popup it just did it at the last frame when it launched the site. However I knew my client wouldn't be satisfied with that as small as it sounds.

Open browser window within flash movie

I've read several GetURL tutorials. They all open a new
window. I want to open the URL within the flash movie.
I would also like to specify the size and location. Just like
a photo gallery, but instead of loading an image (or movieclip) I
want it to load the URL. Can Flash do this? Can some brave and
generous soul show me the way? Thanks!

Let's make it a 100%. It isn't possible - the way you imagine
at least it isn't.
You could try to work around with css-layers and flash
javascript communication, but this wont be very reliable. Cotting
up you flash and using an i-frame would be more reliable, but also
not really fun to do.

How can HTML call a Flash movie?

Greetings Everyone!
I'm sincerely hoping that someone has the answer for me. I'm
a newbie, but trying so very hard to understand... :) I've read
books, pages & pages of this forum, 'net searches - I haven't
found a complete answer to my challenge so far - thanks in advance
for any help you can give...
Here's where things are:
1) I've created a series of swf Flash movies that loop (at a
particular size so they can play inside of an html table cell)
2) I've created html buttons in another cell
What I'm trying to do:
1) Like a swap file in HTML (where you click a button and an
image changes elsewhere on the page, click another button, and that
image swaps to a different image file)
I want to have a flash movie play on a click of a button, click
another button, and a different flash movie plays in the same
spot.
The challenge is the interaction between Dreamweaver and
Flash and getting HTML to talk to Flash.
Here's the code direction I've been heading ...
...IN MY HTML code...
I have a onMouseClick event for each button link. In this
code I set some variable names inside it.
onMouseClick="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie1')"
---- this would be for button 1.
onMouseClick=
"setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie2')" ---- this
would be for button 2
onMouseClick
="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie3')" ---- this
would be for button 3
Basically, I'm setting a 'myMovie' variable to 'activeMovie1'
or 'activeMovie2' or 'activeMovie3' when one of the buttons is
clicked.
If 'myMovie' variable is equal to 'activeMovie1' by clicking
a link, this will tell a flash movie: (" Hey flash! Variable
'myMovie' is equal to 'activeMovie1'. Act accordingly."). When the
2nd button is clicked, 'myMovie' will be equal to 'activeMovie2'
and so on.
I need to declare the 'myMovie' variable in my flash movie -
how do I do that?
...IN FLASH...
1. I need to create one variable which will act as a variable
receiver from HTML. (What I called "myMovie")
2. I gather I need to create an IF statement so that
"myMovie" is set to which "activeMovie" ( it could be
activeMovie1/activeMovie2/activeMovie3 etc ) ,
----->Question:
Where should the IF statement be and
How should it be written?
Admittedly I don't know Action Script 3 very well.
if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie1"
then load a movie. (This movie will be a movie related to my
1 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie2"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 2 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie3"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 3 Button.)
Here's where I'm stuck....
1) If I've already made my movies into swf files where does
an IF statement go?
2) I'm missing the mechanics of how to connect the dots here
- how do I get button 1 to load movie 1 and start playing
automatically? When I click button 2, movie 1 is replaced by movie
2 and starts playing automatically.
It's a detailed explanation (I know) - I'm hoping someone has
an answer for me that's equally explicit. Thanks so much much for
taking the time to read it!!

Anybody?

Get URL from embedded Flash AS3 movie

I have a thumbnail scroller app built with AS3 on my website
homepage. I have the class files but would like to know of any
quick workaround to make the embedded Flash movie clickable without
reworking the AS3 files. What I would like to do is if you click on
a thmbnail or anywhere in the movie, the "portfolio" page loads. I
asume this would use javascript? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I notice that when I click on the thumbnails in the browser,
a "0" appears on top of each thumb. When i test in Flash preview
clicking on an image generates:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL
Not Found.

Loading URL after flash movie finishes

I have created a flash movie which i have taken into a html
page. when the flash movie has finished i want to load a html page
in the current window. What actionscript should i be using to do
what i want?

I'm far from an flash expert but off the top of my head you
could try adding this to a blank keyframe at the end of your movie:
getURL(
http://www.whatever.com,
"_self");
worth a try

How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?

I posted this same question on the Dreamweaver forum and a suggestion was made that I try over here for help, so please excuse the duplicate question.
How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?
Hey there everyone and thanks for reading my question.
I have a library of flash movies (specifically a library of maps) and when the map movies are run in Flash they call each other just fine (i.e. the USA map will load the Georgia map when Georgia is clicked on the USA map, etc etc etc for each state).
HOWEVER, when I insert the USA map in one of my site pages (I'm working on the site using Dreamweaver CS4) the USA map page will load, but when a state is clicked the area on the page for the map goes blank and the state map does not load.
Short of coding a specific path in each of my state maps (in the Flash editor) is there a way to tell Dreamweaver there is a library of maps, look there for the sub-map?
and if I do have to code the path to the map, can I code a relative path rather than a specific URL address for the maps?
I know this is probably one of those simple things, but I'm not seeing it (can you tell I'm new at this??)
Thanks in advance for any help!
Frances

Hey again,
Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Everyone's comments got me to thinking about what the path was in the calls from the maps.
here is what finally worked:
on (release)
loadMovie("../FlashIMapDownloads/georgia.swf", 0);
this script code is in the action script for the "georgia" button of my main map - a US Map. (I hope I'm describing all this correctly).
I'll post this same info in the Dreamweaver forum too.
Thanks again!
Frances

Is there a better way to position a flash movie than ap div?

I'm creating a new website(not yet active) and have a great flash movie for the home page. I've place it in an ap div and of course it moves to a different position in different browsers. Is there any way I can get it to display correctly, or is there a better way to position the movie? Thanks.

Of course. The following code is for the home page:

Flash movies stop after a random amount of time,

The problem that I am having is that flash movie files (Every website) play for a moment or two and then stop with the little “loading” symbol turning endlessly in the center of the screen. Flash movies used to work with no problem but over the span of the last few months it went from not working well to not working at all. In a perhaps related problem sometimes downloads will stop after a certain length of time and also seem to “hang” at a random spot. If I pause the reload and then restart it the program or whatever will usually finish downloading. This doesn’t happen often but does happen. The flash movie thing, though, happens every time – no matter what browser I have tried. (Firefox, IE, IE with no add-ons, and Chrome anyway.)
I have tried solutions that I have found all across the internet, including the Adobe and Microsoft forums, to no avail. I have unloaded flash with the Adobe uninstaller and reloaded flash. I have tried various flash releases – with and without a firewall on. I have made sure that I am using the 32 bit version of IE and even tried running everything in “administrator mode.” I’ve upgraded every driver that I can upgrade. I’ve used a registry checker as a last resort. I even used the Dell partition to return my computer back to the condition that it was in when I bought it and that didn’t change anything either.
Everything I have tried has made zero difference. In the hopes that someone will have another idea for me to try I am putting all the stats for my computer that I can think of below.

Thank you for answering eidnolb -
Answering your questions...
Have you had a Virus and if so what Anti-Virus program removed it?
No virus that I am aware of
Since you have a Dell, McAfee came pre-installed? Did you remove it prior to Installing MSE? If so, did you use the McAfee Removal Tool or just remove it from Control Panel/Programs & Features?
My computer did come with McAfee which isn't on my computer now. I used a program called "Decrapifier" that removes unwanted preloaded software that comes with PCs.
Is McAfee still Installed?
No
Do you have any Anti-Virus/Spyware programs other than MSE?
No - I have just used MSE until now. I thought about using AVAST but was't sure what running 2 virus/spyware programs would be like.
Since MSE doesn't have a Firewall, do you use any Firewall other than Windows? If so, which?
I use Windows Firewall. I have tried both adding Youtube as an allowed program and switching the firewall off enirely with no luck.
Do you use a Router? Is it Wireless?
I do have a Lynksys router that is a little older but I've also tried hooking the modem directly to the computer.
Is Qwest wireless?
I use the wired ports and not the wireless for my connection.
Other than IE8, what browsers and versions are Installed now?
I only have IE8 now. I never reinstalled the other browsers after using the Dell partition. I prefer Firefox so having to use IE is frustrating.
I've also used "RegestryBooster" to make sure that my regestry looked okay.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I think you are right about me doing too much - LOL

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash
<div id="flashContent">

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Editable regions and Flash movie

Hi,
I am trying to insert a flash movie into an editable region
of a child page, but I keep getting the following error: "Making
this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded."
I have read previous posts about the same issue, but none of
them answers my question. I tried creating a new template and a
child from it as a test deleting the css links (like some one
suggested to do) to try to identify the troubled css and I kept
getting the same error in the new pages. I hope someone can help to
identify the issue and the solution. The region where I want to
insert the movie is called "FinalMainContent."
BTW, I do not know how to write code... Sorry!
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide!

Flash movie in IE modal window freezes

Hi,
We have a Flash application, written in AS 2, that presents system simulation to learners. During the process we present "audio popups" using External Interface to call a JavaScript function that ultimately calls window.showModalDialog (It's for a corporate environment that requires IE). The page it opens contains a flash file. When one of these audio popups occurs on the first step of the simulation, the flash in the popup is frozen.
Is anyone aware of a scenario that could cause files in modal windows (or possibly just 2 Flash movies on the same page) to freeze up? The file loads, but doesn't play beyond frame 1 and is unresponsive if there is a button.
I can change the Flash file in the popup and the result is always the same, so it's not the file in the popup.
I've replaced the Flash file on the root page with a simple launch file that only calls the popup and it works fine.
Also replacing the modal window with a window.open seems to work as well, but right now we'd like to continue using the modal.
Possibly worth noting, if the modal window is open for too long, I get a "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly...." notice when I close the popup. Not sure if it's related.
Thanks for any help,
Jeff

Hi kp
Is this Captivate 1 or 2? There are no issues to my knowledge
with either playing the movie in IE7. I use IE7 and see movies just
fine.
My question about version stems from the fact that there are
typically more files to distribute with Captivate 2 than there are
with Captivate 1. However, this can also depend on what you have
selected when you publish. For example, in Captivate 1, you would
have three files to ship if you used the .SWF output with the Full
Screen option. There would be two HTML files and a .SWF.
With Captivate 2, assuming you haven't deviated from the
defaults, you have four files. Two .SWFs, one .HTM and a JavaScript
file.
When you said you see a "black" screen, does this mean the
screen is really black? Or was that a typo and you meant to say it
was "blank" instead. If so, you need to be aware that there is an
additional file you need to include. If you fail to copy the
JavaScript file, the page is blank. I'm thinking this is a strong
possiblity here.
Cheers... Rick

Centering a flash movie within Dreamweaver cs3 on Y axis

I have published a movie in Flash cs3 which has generated an html document however the Flash movie is not automatically centered I have attempted to centrally align the movie within Dreamweaver cs3 by adding:
<center> after the opening body tag and </center> befor the closing body tag
This method has centered on the X axis but not the Y axis
I would have put in a table or a div tag, but when I open the html doc in Dreamweaver I have no visible repressentation of the Flash movie in the design view as I would have if I had created an html document from scratch and draged the movie onto the page, all I can see is the "get flash" hypertext and some other text. I did actually experiment by creating a div tag and dragged my movie into it but ended up with two movies one sitting on top of the other when I ran it in a browser lol. I'm quite intimdated by code and much prefer to work in the design view (wysiwyg and all that) which is quite restricting.
Any advice for centering on the Y axis would be much apreciated, Thanks in advance, Dave

I don't believe there is code to prevent this from happening
on a client computer. The default is enabled my Microsoft, what
should happen is a yellow bar should appear at the top of the
browser which will allow you view the content.
What might work is to use a program called Zinc by a company
call Multidmedia Limited www.multidmedia.com. Search the site for
samples, one of the samples is a Flash Browser this will run Flash
a browser that you can use. You will need to change the URL a bit
in the Flash code but it's very clear on how to do this.
What this will do is run your web site in a Flash browser I
did a quick test and I did not get any errors. The program will
create an EXE file. I also believe they have a MAC version if you
need one. With a simple "Autorun" call on the CD-ROM you could have
this up and running in not time.
Just be careful of how you call the pages. Since the web site
is not running from a Web server you need to make sure that your
links are local and not Site Root. The best way to test is to
disconnect your computer from your internet and see how it runs.
You want the CD to be self-contained and not have to get content
from the web (your end user may be on a laptop and not connected).
Good Luck

Flash movie just has a white box when I preview

Working in Flash CS4
My question is when I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website.
When I'm in flash should I be going to
File Publish or
File Export SWF
To be placed in a website.

NAte here is the link to the page that has the flash movie that is coming up as a white box

Failure to run a flash movie in IWeb

Hi All,
I've created a flash movie using Adobe Flash CS4, have gone through the procedure "by the book" following a how-to-do video [yes, I'm a novice!!].
I've published the file and produced the necessary files filename.swf, index.html, skinUnderAll.swf and a preview.jpg
OK, everything seemed OK, but try as I may, I cannot get the **** thing to run on iWeb via my me.com using this code in a HTML Snippet:
<IFRAME SRC = "http://idisk.me.com/MYUSERNAME/Web/Sites/flash/index.html" WIDTH="720px" HEIGHT="576px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
"index.html" refers to the html that was produced by Flash CS4 and double clicking this runs the video.
For the life of me, I cannot understand where I'm going wrong & it's driving me nuts!
Can someone please check that code out & see what's wrong.... or is the prob elsewhere?
I've looked through
Any assistance most gratefully received!!

Hi again, Roddy,
Many thanks for coming back on this one again... it's appreciated.
What's odd is that if I double-click on the original file called "redsea.html" file on my computer, the movie opens & runs OK, so I guess the html is OK. I've even "copied" or downloaded the file back onto my Mac and placed it in with the other related files and it loads & runs OK.
In answer to your question, if I change the target to a preview file (a .png image file) within the same directory, this opens in a browser window. So the path appears to be correct. However, if I target the "redsea.swf" file nothing happens other than a blank white window where the flash movie should be; albeit a correctly sized and positioned window.
This info may help further;_
What I did from from scratch, I created a short movie and used Adobe Flash CS4 to create all the necessary files and copied them over to my iDisk. The files included the redsea.swf, redsea.html, preview.png, the SkinUnderAll.swf & the .flv file associated with the flash movie. These were uploaded [http://web.me.com/myusername/flash/redsea.html].
I've then used the code below in a html snippet in iWeb, but the movie refuses to load.
If, however, I change the target to a preview file (a .png image file) within the same directory, this opens in a browser window. So, I guess this means that the path to be correct.
I don't understand why the .html file will not open in iWeb?
For more info, here's the code I used:-
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#v ersion=10,0,40,0" border="0" width="720" height="576"><param name="movie" value="http://web.me.com/myusername/flash/redsea.html"><param name="quality" value="High"><embed src="http://web.me.com/myusername/flash/redsea.html" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="720" height="576"></object>
Any help most gratefully received!!
