Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Site Design / June 2007Links in Flash Countdown
I have a Flash Countdown that I want to make available for others to post on their own webpages, blogs, MySpaces, etc. When I host the file on my own site, it works fine. When I try and embed it on a MySpace page, the links - regular getURL()'s - don't work.

If so, all you have to do is embed the flashfile, with the complete path to your webserver.  SignatureKind regards, Franz Marksteiner Yeah, that's what I did. The links inside the file don't work though. There are two buttons which open new pages which don't work when I embed it anywhere else but my site. > Yeah, that's what I did.

You said you problem was to embed the file! So obviously you _can_ embed the file just fine. If you use the file in other places you have to use absolute paths in the file as well...

Maybe because the word "Countdown" has nothing to do with the problem?! The reply from my post above is still on thoug... SignatureKind regards, Franz Marksteiner Sorry, it is a link problem not a "countdown" problem. I have been using the absolute paths. I thought I might have been embedding the file incorrectly, or if maybe there was something I needed to do other than include the absolute file paths. But I still have the problem of the links inside the file not working outside of my site. > Sorry, it is a link problem not a "countdown" problem. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > But I still have the problem of the links inside the file not working > outside of my site. Can you give me two links to sites that include your swf? One with the working swf, and one with the errors. SignatureKind regards, Franz Marksteiner Works: (it's the second from the top) http://www.vistacomputersystems.com/haley727.htm Doesn't work: (it's in the About Me section) http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=205134 270&MyToken=3007663e-742e-492a-a1a8-caf5ee951747 they're both there using the same html. > Works: (it's the second from the top) > http://www.vistacomputersystems.com/haley727.htm [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > they're both there using the same html. Weird, I was hoping that there would be some kind of error... Did you hardcode the getURL paths? SignatureKind regards, Franz Marksteiner eh, I don't know what you mean by hardcode. This is the code: hplink.onRelease = function(){ getURL("http://www.eskimolabs.com/hp", "_blank"); }; > eh, I don't know what you mean by hardcode. This is the code: > > hplink.onRelease = function(){ > getURL("http://www.eskimolabs.com/hp", "_blank"); > }; Then it must be some restriction by mySpace :/ SignatureKind regards, Franz Marksteiner Ugh. Thank you very much for your help, though. I've seen people post countdowns just like this with the same html on MySpace, so if anyone out there knows how, that knowledge would be greatly appreciated :) by the way, it looks like that myspace account was hacked so following that link won't lead you to the swf any longer. |
