Jack McKalling Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I have read the Flash tut one time, but a friend told Flash uses its own language, how is that?Can we learn that language? (yes, more languages, I can't get enough lol)If so, it would be less expensive: no book to buy, no software to buy, no big download.. And easier to have exactly the flash you need :(I came up with this idea when the target did not do what I want. If I have a flash movie with two clickable areas (buttons), are they both then possible to execute javascript on the same body? My friend denied, as he already knew Flash has its own language... :DIs that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionsketch Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Flash has it's own language called action script. It's a language you can only edit within the flash editor. From what you said... I'm not sure you even know what flash is, go download the 30-day trial of flash 8 at macromedia.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 I know what flash is, only I've never created one before as I have not installed my program for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 If i understand, then you could make the buttons link to java script:function()right? That would call the function when the buttons are clicked, just as people make it so that when a button is clicked it opens a url. I think.

Jack McKalling Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Like that, indeed.The javascript I want to use is like this: java script:ChangeCol("MoviesCol","FunCol","center_column")And for the second area:java script:ChangeCol("FunCol","MoviesCol","left_column")I am not sure this was the correct script, as somebody else wrote it for me, and I may have forgotten it a bit.

Chocolate570 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 That would be correct, if those two functions have been defined in the head section.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 No, javascript wouldn't work at all, according to my friend who makes it for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well, it's my opinion that if you can hyperlink with flash, you should be able to use the same method but with javascipt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 I agree, but I haven't got Flash programms, so I can't test it myself.darn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Do you have the flash studio? Or, just go to any random site with flash buttons, download them, open them, and change where they link to. Without posting them somewhere else and then claiming them.

Guest inogen Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 You can use href links embedded in flash to call javascript functions as above. I've done it many times and it works fine. You can also use something called an FSCommand to use VBscript to allow the page to talk to the flash movie. In IE anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
