Call lightbox from a flash file with buttons?

[Cyn]

The menu is controlled by the menu.xml and some of the code appears like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<items>
<item>
<text>HOME</text>
<url>home.swf</url>
</item>

<item>
<text>ABOUT US</text>
<url>about.swf</url>
</item>

can a javascript window/ or any window be called from the xml file executed by the swf file? Or do I need to put the javascript from earlier posts in the fla file, Thanks, Cyn

inside the FLA will help prevent problems.

In the future please start a new thread. Reviving old dead threads is confusing to many people just browsing for help.

I'm confused. How would you change code for AS 3?

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.

Is there a link somewhere to upload the files ?!
Thanx a lot, I was looking for something to help me for a long time !

"

Please help me out! why it's happend?

It's not impossible...it's quite possibe actually.

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:

<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

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.
