My goal is to create scrollable list/menu. I have made a dynamic text field that inputs text from a .txt file. However I want to use html in the .txt file to make the things I enter in the list clickable so that they open a new window with the parameters I want, almost like in your tutorial below http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/newwindow.asp
I have found the following html string at html goodies.com
note: i took out the open bracket
However when I enter in my .txt file
list= A HREF=“jsp_11.html” onClick=“window.open(‘picture5.swf’, ‘My Portrait’, config=‘height=300,width=300’)”>My portrait</A>
it all shows up in the dynamic text box. How do I make html work for me from a .txt file. Or do you have a better method for me to do this?
i had this same problem before only i was making a dynamic text file with simple hyperlinks. what i ended up doing was just creating the dynamic text box, entering my text rather then having it load, and inserting the hyperlink targets in the target: space. highlight the word you wanna use as a hyperlink, then Try entering your html tag into this same box, and give it a whirl. Myabe that will help, i know it helped me. Remember to have the reneder text as HTML box pressed.
You will need to HTML enable your text box so accept basic Font Formatting HTML tags (which also allows links).
Can you post your code that you are using to load your text? I would rather incorporate the HTML code using your script instead of making you change your script.
the most of the files I’ve posted are from my ‘personal library’ [experiments, practices and stuff] a little touch and they’re ready to go … that’s why there’s no comments on them
I should probably do that… take files I already did.
I tend to recreate a whole .fla file with commented code, then just zip it up and delete the original files, and I use them for later use on the forum if needed.
Kinda strange… I am a very disorganized person though, so I dont want to root through my computer to find the right files, instead I save all the .zip files to a folder called “tests”
A HREF=“010803.swf” TARGET=“resource window”>January 8th’03</A>
I have put this in my .txt file so that the type loaded into the dynamic text box is clickable and opens a new window. is there a way to set the parameters for the window to be a certain heigth width and take away address bars and such?
the list of dates in the lower left corner is my topic of debate here.
I need to have these qualities prevalent in it’s function
-to be able to update it very quickly and easily without uploading too much info. A rookie has to be able to update the thing.
-it has to open a new window that is 300 by 300 and has injformation bars.
(see datelist.txt)
With the method I am attemptin, all i have to do is copy and paste a line, change the targets. A new link automatically adds on the site without opening flash and only uploading a small .txt file
If i did the button method I’d have to either do it in my main movie which is a 2 megs to upload a new button to make, reposition, retarget etc etc and save. I could make the list in a separate movie but somewhere along the line in this method I have to mask things and alot of text tends to dissapear under masks.
can anyone figure out an html script or java that
opens a new window when you click on the text
sets the windows parameters
loads an swf file
Chromeless windows are dead as of IE 6 Service Pack 1. No browser supports them anymore. Only IE 5+ did, but that is no longer the case with IE6 SP1, with that you get a full screen window… which is definitely not good.
