Flash to link to zen pages

Hi,

I have created a flash file for my top banner and a few flash buttons in it. How do I link my flash button to any of the php pages.

eg. I would like to link the About Us flash button to the About Us button of the side box, so that when a person click the About Us flash button it will show the same page as if he had click the About Us button of the side box.

I have managed to do it for Home flash button. that was easy but for the rest of the buttons I am stuck.

My website: https://www.getreload.com

Hope that someone can help.

thanks

Re: Flash to link to zen pages

copy and paste the URL from the sidebox as the link in your URL in your flash movie.

be sure to NOT include any zenid=xxxxxxxxxx with the URL though.

Hi

Just saw your thread and am hoping you can help me resolve a little problem I am having with some flash buttons.

I have created a new header for a site I am designing. I have added this to the Zen cart and it loads great.

I have placed four buttons for the key areas of the site within the movie.

When I run these in Flash 8 everything works a treat but when I try the same movie in Flash 9 the buttons will not work until the text link to home (top left of screen) is clicked.

The command I use for the buttons is:

getURL("http://www.vision-itservices.org/ecommercedemo/index.php?main_page=index","_self");

where main_page=??? changes depending on what I want to display.

I am at a loss to explain why the buttons will not work on first load and as this is my first site with Flash I want to get things right.

Do you use the same command? as your buttons work a treat on loading.

The site can be viewed at : http://www.vision-itservices.org/ecommercedemo/

Thanks

MK

Re: Flash to link to zen pages

Just went over and have a look at your site, you have a nice site:yes:

The problem that you are facing is not because of Flash 9 (what? they came out with Flash 9) nor Zen, it is an IE problem, I face the same problem too and have resoleved it with the help of TinaS, you can read it here:

Basically, what you need to do is call in your flash using javascript.

Please write back if you still can't resolve it and need help.
