First off, great job with the News Ticker. I’m using it for a “What’s New” section on our department’s intranet site.
I’ve got it set up on my dev server and it’s working great, but I had a couple of questions and wanted to see if anybody had any ideas. Keep in mind that though I’ve been using Flash MX 2004 Pro for several months and have created quite a few movies, I really haven’t delved too much into scripting.
Questions:
-
On the ticker, I was wondering if there any script that can be added (and where in the sequence) that will allow pause on mouseover for the links in the ticker?
-
The trickier question. In the ticker, I have a link to a Flash movie I created that’s posted on the corporate site. On the company web site, there’s a link to that same Flash movie. For the link on the corporate web site (HTML), we set it up to open in a separate, sized window (to match the Flash size) using javascript. I wanted to know if there is a way I can add script that will allow the link in the ticker to do the same thing (but only that link… all other links in the ticker I have set up to open in a separate full sized window). If it helps, here’s the javascript we used for the link on the corporate web site (I changed the link and file names since I’m posting this “unauthorized” by corporate)
Javascript starts with:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=“JavaScript”>
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval(“page” + id + " = window.open(URL, ‘" + id + "’, ‘toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=600,height=400,left = 212,top = 184’);");
}
// End –>
</script>
and the link itself looks like this:
<td><a href=“javascript:popUp(‘http://www.mycompany.com/flash/MyMovie.swf’)”>My new movie is here</a> </td>
Anybody have any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.
