I’m trying to create a digital portfolio in flash of various works I’ve done in flash, dreamweaver, photoshop etc.
Now the question I have is what is the most efficient and easiest way to display a webpage made in dreamweaver through flash, and what steps would I need to take so I could display the dreamweaver webpage and keep it fully navigational while using the Flash SWF portfolio?
In other words I want to have a flash nav bar which controls what files are viewed below it, ie. Flash animations, Dreamweaver sites, Photoshop images etc.
you can use flash to load other html pages… is that what you are asking? You can’t view full html pages INSIDE of a flash oject, at least, not to my knowledge. You would have to display the html pages outside of flash. Flash can support basic HTML tags in dynamic texboxes… but only very basic.
You can dynamically load external images into a blank movie clip. I’ve found alot of portfolio’s do this.
So I guess really what I need to do is have links in the Flash SWF that load up the files in a new window/movie clip, But at the same time I would like for last link that was opened to close when a new one is selected.
Thanks for the reply it basically nailed on what I thought might need to be done. Thanks.
thats a nice tutorial. Clearly shows how to use functions for this transitions method. I’m going to try that, before i was using cover mc’s and variables with targeted external swf’s, guess its basically the same thing!. hehe, nice link . thanks
