Flash help
« on: June 18, 2008, 10:49:45 PM »
So I started a little website project today in flash, however I can't for the life of me open it up in html format.

I have an older version of it up on the website for testing, maybe one of you can figure out why the html is not working.

Flash: http://24.173.123.178/ezekielsphotography/Ezekiel%27s%20Photography.swf

HTML: http://24.173.123.178/ezekielsphotography/flash.html

All I ever get on the html version is the black background, but no flash object, even when trying to open it locally. Same thing even when trying to preview it from inside flash in html.

???

You shouldn't need javascript for a flash site.  You can just embed it.  Take a look at the source of homestarrunner.com (awesome site, btw).

Edit:  Oh, and use more html friendly file names.

If you're going to use JavaScript to embed Flash, use SWFObject.

ok
I never edited the html page from what Flash created for me. I'll embed it myself into a page tho and see. :)

And I might bring it into my old Macromedia Flash 8, and see if it can create a page there too :)   I'm sure embedding it myself is better tho, right?

ok, I've got it all well and good working as an html page...

one thing I'm going CRAZY over is the "studio info" link. It is supposed to stop on the frame, but everything I try won't let it stop.

on the button is:

on(release) {gotoAndStop (10) }

and I also have a stop()   on the frame itself.... I've tried taking one off at a time, I've tried gotoAndPlay, it just started happening for no reason... any idea why?
