Targeting a frame with a button

hey guys
in my lack of using Flash since macromedia's version 5, i've
forgotten the actionscript needed for telling a button that when
it's released, to load a url in an external iframe on a webpage.
the actionscript toolbar in cs3 is really confusing me. any help is
greatly appreciated.

Create your button and give it an instance name. Then place
this code in a separate layer at the same keyframe:

Howdy,
Your link doesn't work but perhaps the tooltip widget is what you are looking for?

MAKE EMBEDDED QUICKTIME WITH PLAY BUTTON IN FRAME

Hello does anyone know how to make an embed quicktime with a play button in the video frame so it has a poster frame and a button on it and wont play until it is clicked on

It's known as a poster movie. The first file acts as either a placeholder (or a button) that is linked to the second file.
You can use any image format to create your click to play "button" and add it to a single frame from your movie or to another image. Size this 16 pixels higher than your movie source file if you plan on showing the movie controller and save it as poster.mov.
Your html code will have this poster movie load and nothing further will happen until your visitor clicks on it. Once clicked the second .mov file will begin downloading and then playing. You can also use this poster movie technique to load a second movie directly in the QuickTime Player app.

}thank you

could you tell me how to avoid exceptions?
what i want to to is to call a method wich simply sends a string and gets a string back.
public String switchOn() throws IOException {
       send("1");
       String state = receive();
       return state;
}but when i call this method in actionPerformed() i get exceptios and my socket closes. It sends the string though, but after this program crashes. is there anything special to do if i want to use this Frame3 in order to communicate with a client by pressing buttons?

Opening a frame with button click

hi all
when i am going to click a button which is placed in JTabel it should
open a JFrame with some component.
thanks & regards
daya

This task can be decomposed in two logically unrelated subtasks:
1: Adding a button in a table column and listening to it
2: Showing a frame from some method
In case you are hesitant how to solve the first task: you need to create your own cell editor (possibly by extending DefaultCellEditor) that returns a button as editor component. Of course this editor must be set to the desired column(that must be editable too). And just listen to that button's actions.
Another possible solution is to just render the column with a button and listen the table for mouse clicks, then determine the ros/column for the click and act correspondingly.
The solution of the second task depends entirely on you.

Pause & restart timeline with one button

I have created a lengthy animation as a prop for a TV
production. They want to be able to start and stop the animation at
will using only the mouse without anything being seen on the
screen. To do this I want to make an invisible button that covers
the entire screen. I know how to make it either start or stop, what
I can't figure out is how to make the invisible button start and
stop the timeline with alternative clicks ie click 1 starts it,
click 2 stops it, click 3 restarts ad infinitum.
Any help would be much appreciated
Ralph

Hi Cevema,
The instance name is the instance name of the clip. When you
select the
clip on the timeline, open up your Properties Inspector. In
the
lower-left-hand corner there should be a "MovieClip" pull
down and
probably a text box with "<Instance Name>" in it. This
is how Flash
recognizes which clip you want to target. Add the name here
(no spaces,
don't start with a number, no special characters), and this
is your
instance name. Then, replace the "someClip" with the instance
name. Say
you used, "myInstance" for the instance name, your code would
be:
this._parent.myInstance...
You would do this anywhere where "someClip" appeared in the
example I
showed you.
In order for that code to work correctly, you will need to
ensure that
it is ON the button (not the timeline or anything). Also,
your clip
instance needs to be BESIDE your button on the timeline.
Here's how:
1. Your movie clip (the one to control) should be on a frame.
The button
you want to use to control the clip should be on the same
frame. It
shouldn't be inside the clip you want to control, in another
scene, or
anywhere else.
2. When adding code to your button, select it (don't open it
so you can
see "DOWN"/"UP"/"OVER" frames), hit F9 (or open the actions
panel) and
add the code there.
The reason you need to be careful when adding this code is
because of
something called scope. You'll notice that in the code I use
a keywor
called "this". It literally means...this! So if you are
putting this
code inside of some movie clip, "this" will refer to the
movie clip. In
this case, "this" refers to the button. "_parent" refers to
the movie
clip in which the button lives. It's like a word map....
this._parent.someInstance >>> From "this", look in
my "parent", and in
there look for something with instance name "someInstance".
Hope that clears it up.

Target a frame in a movieClip

I have buttons in a movie clip which are placed on the main
time line. I also have movieclips placed on single frames (25, 30,
35, etc) on the main time. When a button is released I want two
things to happen -
- the playhead to go to a frame on the main time line where
the movie clip is placed - which I can do with this code -
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndStop("25");
- then I'd like it to target a certain frame inside the
movieClip with a var number (var number already generated). This is
where I'm stuck. What is the path I use to target the frame inside
the movie clip???
Thanks for any help,
Dave

It's still not working....
I named my movieClip (classifieds_mc) and my Var (collapse -
which is a Number). I attached this code to the button (note:
button inside movieClip than placed on main time line) -
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
this._parent.classifieds_mc.gotoAndStop("collapse");
//End Behavior
Nothing hapens when the button is releases. If I just target
the frame on the main time line with this code it works
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndStop("25");
But I'd like to also target a a frame inside the movieClip
with a var Number.
Any help on what I'm doing wrong???..??
Thanks,
Dave

Problem with Flash Button Sticking

I am adding Handlers to Mouse Events using action Script 3.
The buttons move up and down when rolling over the button. So you
have that "wave effect" when navigating the site.
The problem I am having is that if you rollout of the button
before the button is done playing the movie it freezes at that
point of the movie.
Has anyone had this problem before? Can anyone help?
THANKS!

The standard reply is -
1. Why are you using frames since there are many compelling
reasons not to?
2. Why are you using Flash navigation since there are many
compelling
reasons not to?
Most people here don't work with (assiduously avoid) both of
those critters,
so, you may have trouble getting a more explicit response!

Target another frame in a framset from flash navigation

Target another frame in a frameset with for example
getUrl (example.html, "rightFrame");
has Adobe released some solution?
- Right now we migrate from Flash towards PowerPoint and CSS,
because
the lack of answers and interactivity in Flash because of
Microsofts "security pathes" in IE 6 and 7
Right now I cant find a simple solution of how to target
another
frame from a frame in the same html-doc from a button in a
flash navigation.
Am I right or wrong? It looks like everyone avoid this simple
question?
- Why?
And I still appreciate every possible answer that could solve my
problem and a lot of problem to other
interactive producer.

Cant target another frame in the same frameset (2 frames -
LeftFrame and RightFrame ) in the same html.doc
This is the code I have applied to the Flash button
in a frame called navigation in LeftFrame:
on(release){
getURL("right.htm", rightFrame);
For some reason I can't get the page to open in the target
frame (RightFrame).
It will only pop up in a new window. (_blank)
Microsoft has done a some security restriction since februari
2006.
The problem is that you cant use flash navigation in the same
frameset no longer.
I´ve serched everywhere and it looks like there is no
simple solution to this problem.
Adobe suggest that you Work around with Javascript.
But what´s happend if the user disable JavaScript in the
WebBrowser?
Isn´t that obvious - it´s a strategic issue for the
Interactive webbindustry.
It´s a crossroad - which way webdesigners/developers,
markering managers
e-commerce managers.., want to choose to work along with
databases, content
management system and so on.
If Flash not can provide an easy way of targeting another
frame in a webbrowser for
its customers, the customers have to choose a another
solution - CSS+php or even worse
- PowerPoint.
I already migrate to CSS, PHP and PowerPoint because of
Adobes late response of Microsoft so called
"..because of security reason".
At least I hope Adobe is interested of producing a motion
tutorial of how to solve the problems by
Javascript or whatever complex and not user friendly
solution
they come up with.
Do you understand now?
If you can provide a simple code below - please tell me -
I really appreciate that!!!!!

Flash nav targeting html frames...

I have NO idea why, I've read all the posts about having a
flash nav menu target a frame within a HTML frameset. I even set up
a quick test... (I'm using flash MX2004 professional so you all
know)
Ok, this is what I did....
I created a framset in Dreamweaver using their fixed top
frameset. So there's a top nav frame, and a bottom content frame.
the frame holding the flash nav is called header.htm. The
content frame is called main.htm (or the default htm page that
opens in that frame) The frameset master of course is called
index.htm.
I created a test flash nav with 2 quick buttons. This is the
code on the first and second buttons...
first button:
on (release) {
getURL("test1.htm","mainFrame")
second button:
on (release) {
getURL("test2.htm","mainFrame")
As you can see I'm targeting the content frame which is named
"mainFrame" in the index page like this:
<frameset rows="119,*" cols="*" framespacing="0"
frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame src="header.htm" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO"
noresize >
<frame src="main.htm" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
So, I run the whole thing and instead of the flash nav
pointing at the "mainFrame" frame, it just opens a whole new
window! I've researched all over the place, and i'm not new to
flash, i've done some advanced stuff, so you would think this would
be a simple endeavor... Am I truely that stupid, or is this an
issue with flash targeting framesets?? PLEASEHELP!!

Did you heard about _blank , _self , _parent , ....??? maybe
is something to
do with the names you are using...
i didnt understand much ur problem but first thing u have to
be familiar
with those things.. i hope that helps.

How do I use the event.target.name String with an external dispatchEvent?

...I hope the title question makes sense...
On my stage I have an externally loaded SWF with a button. When clicked the button dispatches an event to the main stage.
On the main stage a listener then loads an SWF into a loader called gallery.
The gallery loader is also being shared by buttons on the main stage which use the event.target.name String to call in SWFs with corresponding names.
I am using Tweens to fade-out and -in content to the gallery when a button is pressed.
Loading the SWFs was working until I tried to create a universal button function for the dispatchEvent buttons...
The problem I have is that I don't know how to define the String to tell the newSWFRequest where to find the SWF when triggered by the external buttons.
(I may be doing this all wrong... but figured the best way to load an SWF on to the main stage from an external SWF was by using dispatchEvent??)
My code triggers the Event and the gallery loader fades out, but then it cannot find the new SWF:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Please can someone help me understand the way to make the String point in the right direction? (I think the only errors are in bold below)
Code:
var myTweenIn2:Tween;
var myTweenOut2:Tween;
var nextLoadS2:String;
// Listen for external event dispatched from external btns
addEventListener("contactStage", btnClickExtrnl);
function btnClickExtrnl(e:Event):void {
nextLoadS2 = ?????
myTweenOut2=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOut2.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
// Btns Universal function
function tweenOutCompleteF2(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOut2.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
myTweenOut2=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + nextLoadS2 + ".swf");
myTweenIn2 = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, gallery.alpha, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
Thank you.

That works – thank you!
I'm now using this code to fade in each of the SWFs:
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
    myTweenIn = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But I cannot add the fade out function. I have amended the above code to create:
var myTweenOutX:Tween;
var myTweenInX:Tween;
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
myTweenOutX=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOutX.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
function tweenOutCompleteFX(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOutX.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
myTweenOutX=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
myTweenInX = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value.
at ACOUSTIC_fla::MainTimeline/tweenOutCompleteFX()[ACOUSTIC_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:110]

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
in CRM a context can consist of model nodes, value nodes and, unfortunately, mixed nodes. While mixed nodes implement the same interface as model nodes they can't be casted into a CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY directly. Instead you need to perform the following conversion in order to get the model node from the mixed node:

Opening document in frame with javascript

Hello.
I've got problem with javascript on Safari 4 (both and on Win and on MacOS), while trying to open html document in frame.
Reproducing the problem is quite difficult, so I'll begin with html source.
I have one frame in index.html file:
+<iframe id="topframe" name="topframe" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="980" height="580" src="form1.html";></iframe>+
form1.html looks like this:
+<input type="button" id="action" name="action" value="Make action" onclick = "document.getElementById('actionframe').src='dir/action.html';">+
+<input type="button" id="sel" name="sell" value="..." onclick = "top.frames[['topframe']].location.replace('form2.html');">+
action.html source is:
+<script type="text/javascript">parent.document.getElementById('sel').click();</script>+
So, when you open index.html, you see two buttons: first opens form2.html in the same frame, second opens dir/action.html in other frame. While dir/action.html just "clicks" the first button.
Basically both buttons does the same.
The problem is, that Safari fails to open form2.html with first button. Somehow Safari thinks that form2.html is in /dir/, like action.html is. So you get this error:
*Not Found*
*The requested URL /safari_test/dir/form2.html was not found on this server.*
This example works on all major browsers, except Safari 4. Even on Safari 3 it works fine.
I made an example, so you can test it here:
http://82.135.245.49/safari_test/

Have you tried putting the full URL instead of just form2.html?
Second option is to move the file to that directory and change it for the other browsers.
Third option is to stop using frames altogether, they are generally considered bad practice and can cause issues with browsers that aren't IE.
