Call lightbox from a flash file with buttons?

**SAB++** · 10-04-2007, 08:24 PM

Hi Scorri,

This website is an example that I found. It's not mine (It would be great 'cause I still have the problem with my swf)

Sorry

Hi everybody...

Thanks Medyman.. the code you posted really helped me out of a jam.

My swf file was utilizing JavaScriptFlashGateway. The way that the flash object was embedded on the page prevented me from using an href on the flash object itself.. thus I needed to add the lightbox call inside the flash object itself. I had to send a couple new parameters to the swf file through the gateway for the lightbox source file and caption.

Hello Mr Madyman,
The source link is not working anymore, could you please fix it.

Thanks.!

There are better ways to do it than the techniques that I showed in this thread. You can view my files here, for a better way.

This particular example uses Lightbox++, but the same technique will work with regular Lightbox.

Could you please post a zip or rar file with all the files of a sample working. I haven't had any succed.

My email is

Thanks a lot.

The link above is incorrect. My apologies.

The correct URI is http://www.visualbinary.net/files/tu...box/flash/as2/.

I will update the source files on the page to include all the files, including Lightbox++ as soon as I can.

In fact, I'm planning to add a lightbox 2.0 and flash interaction on my website (i'm in the process or redesigning it and I keep changing the design every other day).

I'm going to assume that you have Lightbox setup in your document per the Lightbox documentation.

1) Insert the following "Delegate" somewhere between the head tags of your document:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
objLink.setAttribute('href',url);
objLink.setAttribute('rel','lightbox');
objLink.setAttribute('title',caption);
Lightbox.prototype.start(objLink);
}
</script>

2) Add the correspoding linkage in your actionscript

Code:

PictureMC.onRelease = function() {
   getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate(image1.jpg','caption1')")
}

Disclaimer: I'm typing this directly into the forum so there might be sytax errors but it should work. Post back if you have any issues.

HTH

I'm trying ti make something like this, when I click the button on the flash, the flash gone but the light box image didn't comes up. at bottom of the flash i put an image and when i click the image, the lightbox work very well.
I don't know why. Any body can help?

This is the script that I use:

HTML

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>
<!--flash lightbox script-->
<script type="text/javascript">
   function LightboxDelegate(url,caption) {
   var objLink = document.createElement('a');
   objLink.setAttribute('rel','lightbox');
   objLink.setAttribute('href',url);
   objLink.setAttribute('title',caption);
   Lightbox.prototype.start(objLink);
}
</script>

Double post
Can you send me your flash and lightbox?
Is it different between lighbox 2 and lightbox++?
Thanks
