Using Flash with Frames?

Is there a trick to using frames with flash? The frames page
looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>Home Site</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="78,280,*" FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0
FRAMESPACING=0>
<frame src="header.html" name="header" scrolling="no"
noresize>
<frame src="flash.html" name="flash" scrolling="no"
noresize target="mainFrame">
<frame src="frameindex.html" name="mainFrame">
<noframes>
<body>
This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't
support them.
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
header.html does not have any flash. Just has the home and
contact buttons for the top.
flash.html is just an html page that holds the flash
navigation.
mainFrame is where the new pages should display with index of
course being the first page.
In flash, the button has the following:
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 1;
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["but"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
getURL("details.html", "mainFrame");
When I press the button, it opens details.html in a new page
without the frames. I would like it to open details.html in the
mainFrame frame. Is there a trick that I do not know? Thank you so
much!

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!

Flash with frames

I read a Flash with Frames tutorial and got what i wanted to
do, but soon realized there was a problem. The code used only works
with Actionscript 1.0. The code is: getURL("page.html","kirupa");
where kirupa is the frame name. In actionscript 2.0, this page
opens in a new window. I'm guessing there is a new way to do this
in 2.0, any ideas???

can you be more specific on what you are doing or using the
code for?

Using Flash's frame anchors problem

I have problem using flash's frame anchors with firefox

I have following "

those instructions and i can't get this thing work. Those flash's
frame anchors does work in IE 6.0. Any solutions? I have Flash CS3.

I don't know how you'd do this using a Flash object, but
Director's
built-in NetLingo xtra can handle SOAP requests as of version
10.1 and
this, in conjunction with the proxyServer() command, should
be all you
need - assuming you have access to proxy details.

Can I use Flash with Flash catalyst?

I was wondering, since Flash Catalyst apparently only uses
"rudimentary animation", can I use Flash Professional with Flash
catalyst? I would like to do more complex animations, and I was
wondering if there was a way to import those animations into Flash
Catalyst,

Flash Professional will definitely be the tool for creating
complex animation. The tweaks they have done to the animation
engine will blow away designers giving them intuitive tools to use
for creating animation. Designers will absolutely love how easy it
is to animate now.
As for whether or not Flash Catalyst can handle that... From
the trial software I received at Adobe MAX... it appears you can
import SWFs. In fact, as soon as you import them, they start
playing right there in the IDE. But I am not sure how much control
you have over the SWF once you import it. No SWC import though.
I was curious if there are any round tripping features
between Flash Professional and Flash Catalyst. Because the way I
understand it, Flash Catalyst is a way for traditional designers to
use Fireworks, Illustrator and Photoshop to build RIAs... they said
nothing of using Flash Professional.

Using Flash with Facebook Connect

I was wondering if anyone has any information or resources on using Flash AS3 with facebook connect. What I'm particularly looking for is how to do facebook authentication within the flash interface (so the user doesn't need to exit to the facebook website to connect) and also if there are any ways to make facebook calls from within flash once you have authenticated (rather than loading xml generated in PHP as I am currently doing).
Any information or resources would be appreciated.

The dial in process would be exactly the same as if you were dialing into the bridge as a participant. Most of the time it needs the following steps.
Phone number:           800-555-5555
Delay:                        3000 ms
DTMF: (passcode)     123456#
Delay:                        3000ms
DTMF:                      1 or # (for a roll call or to join the bridge)
However if the provider is not using a SIP compliant bridge, the Universal Voice tool will fail upon attempting to dial out.
Also, for the hosted environment, the phone bridge must have a toll-free number.

Can I make a non-flash slide show using Flash, with JPEGs not GIFs?

Since Flash .swf is not supported in iOS. I wanted to make a simple photo slide show with high quality JPEGs. How can I do this?

Look to using jQuery instead of Flash. There are a variety of redy-made solutions available, just search Google or visit the Dreamweaver forum and ask there.

Using Flash with Windows CE

We're evaluating use of the Flash to develop a
professional user interface for an instrumentation system. The
system will be running Windows CE 6.0 . We'll have custom drivers
for some of the hardware and a signal-processing algorithm running
in real-time. The Flash application will need to communicate with
the drivers and algorithm.
Is Flash appropriate for this kind of application? Has anyone
out there done this kind of thing?

A problem while using Flash with xml

Hello,
I made an earlier post about this but wasn't clear, so here are the details & hopefully someone can help
I wanted to make a news slideshow for my websiteBut I keep getting this error :
Error opening URL 'file:///F|/files/undefined'
I think there is something wrong with the xml structure, I've changed it many times but still the same error.
The link below have both the .fla file & the Xml file.
Would be really nice if someone could tell me what's wrong & thanks for your time.
The Link : http://hotfile.com/dl/42252711/2daa8da/News.rar.html

To me it suggests that whatever the function is that's supposed to get the XML is looking for a hard link (notice the file path in the error) as opposed to a file path relative to the SWF link. Also the "undefined" suggests that the object you're calling for imay be undefined (i.e. Flash has no data about it and therefore can't do anything with it). This is likely the URL string you're passing to the function that's supposed to retrieve the XML. Double check that and make sure the variable for the URL string is defined before the function that needs it calls for it. Hope this helps you troubleshoot whats happening.

Anyone got any experience using Flash with the Parse REST API?

Just wondered if anyones used the Parse.com REST API AS3 library ? if so any tips or advice on what it's good or not good for?

It is good to hear that is getting Apple feedback from other sides regarding that network problem. I always thought that this just matters for bigger studios with multiple rooms and network installations and therefore not that a high priority for Apple. It never occurred to me that in a networked school environment that is a big issue and last time I checked Apple pretended to to care about the educational market.
If you really need the network setup to work with Logic and can't wait for Apple to fix it, try to mount the network volumes via the smb protocol instead of the afp protocol. I used it for a while under Logic 7 and it worked, haven't tried it under L8. However keep in mind that are some drawbacks:
Besides minor user interface limitations (color, icons, etc), the main problem is some boneheaded setup in Logic. Get that:
Logic saves the path to any related media file, which is ok, but it saves also the network protocol it uses! If you logged on to a network volume over smb and use an audio file, Logic will save the complete path, something like "smb://MediaVolume/audio/MyGroove.aif". Netx time you mount the MediaVolume drive via afp and open your Logic Project, it won't find that file, or automount that volume again as an smb volume. So now you have the same network volume mounted twice, via afp and smb.
Now you can see why I backed away from that solution.

Using Flash with Apache Aliasing

Hi,
We have set up an Apache Alias on our server and we have
successfully used an alias to link to a different directory using
an HTML embed tag, however, when we attempt to use that alias name
within Flash actionscript, it does not attempt to link to the
aliased folder.
Is it possible to use aliasing in this manner in Flash,
specifically in a loadmovie function like follows:
_root.movie.loadMovie("aliasname");
Cheers,
Jim

Try to import the flash file as a web resources and then in your jsp use the fuego tag <f:webResources relativePath='/folder/myflash.swf'/>
For example:
param name="movie" value="<f:webResources relativePath='/folder/myflash.swf'/>" 
embed src="<f:webResources relativePath='/folder/myflash.swf'/>" quality="xxxx" bgcolor="somecolor" width="xxx" height="xxx" name="name"
align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" 
(Sorry I can?t copy all the example becuase the this page tries to show a flash, I hope you understand where use the tag)
I think it will work

Using Flash with Illustrator

I've created a banner ad in illustrator and have been asked
to make one small piece of text blink. I've put that text on a
separate layer and tried to export to flash. I can import
non-static ad into flash - but don't know what to do next.
Is there a different piece of software I should be using? Not
sure if this is the best approach.
thanks,

Using Flash with Thickbox

Hi...
I am a n00b and was wondering if there was way to trigger the
popularly useful thickbox (javascript to display a lightbox-style
HTML page) from a link embedded in a Flash movie? I have a website
that is all Flash and want to display thickbox formatted HTML
content from a text hyperlink in the movie using actionscript.
Here's an example of how the hyperlink is formatted in HTML:
<a href="ajaxLogin.htm?height=100&width=250"
class="thickbox" title="Please Sign In">login</a
Is there an action script equivalent to the above?
If possible, can anyone point me in the right direction or
give an example of the code:
The thickbox cript can be found at:

Hi Joe,
Thanks for answering. t.name works but it creates a blank file on the server. I am not sure how to transfer the contents to the server. Can you help me regarding stuffing the byte array to the server. I am not sure how to send this to the server.
I was able to write the contents of the file to a variable :
var t = air.File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath('Resume.txt');
var z= new air.FileStream();
z.open(t, air.FileMode.READ);
var data = z.readMultiByte(z.bytesAvailable, air.File.systemCharset);
z.close();
But how should I send it to the server. That's where I am stumped.
Thanks
Gaurav
