Question

Unique links

Asked by: lbusche

My question is: I would like to add unique links to every image in my flash 8 image gallery. I would like these links to point to the original JPG files, allowing the user to print or save them.
So do I need to make each picture a mc and then action them to the link?
And I only want the picture that they are viewing to print or be saved. These pictures are in the picture holder, the zoomed version of the thumbnail.
Would you have any suggestions for me?
 I got the idea from this web site.

I am making a flash web site of all my family members as well.

yes, each image needs to be a movieclip and you need to use this code...

getURL("theURLofTheImage", "_blank");

I noticed that you are the same guy helping me before.
Can you once again go back to my site. I added code. I have been working on it.
Thanks
I need help!

Thanks

you would just create some code for each button like this...

pic1_mc.onRelease = function(){
getURL("pic1URLHere","_blank");
};

do that for each thumbnail...

That I knew!
I guess I am just having a hard time explaining myself. Sorry, my fault.

I want the code to print an external .jpg from my pic folder that is currently displayed in the mcLoader (a movie clip Loader). I already know how to print from just a mc_thumbnail.
That is not what I want. The loader is already a MC so if another MC was on top of it, I would need that to be fixed. I know that I could make a separate page for all the thumbnails to make them into a MC but, it would look cool the other way. I have a fade action going on over the thumbnails already. A cool effect that I want to keep.
Thanks for what ever....

so you just need help sending a movieclip (movieclip loader) to the print class?

rp

 

by: lbuschePosted on 2009-06-25 at 13:06:32ID: 24715447

Yes, maybe that is what I need.
I need help sending the current picture viewed by the user to the print. Which would be in my external file. Because the one viewed is actually only 72 res. And the one in the file is 300 res.
The mc Loader is already a MC.
Do I make any sense?

 

by: rascalpantsPosted on 2009-06-25 at 13:25:08ID: 24715650

well then, you have two options...

1. load the 300 res image into a movieclip that is off the stage, and then print that movieclip.

2.  just send them to the url of the 300 res image and have them decide what to do next.

by: lbuschePosted on 2009-06-25 at 13:34:56ID: 24715743

Ok option 2 is great. they can print it or save it. That is what I want. Ok, what would the code look like from the print button, to get that URL of the picture in the mc Loader?

 

by: rascalpantsPosted on 2009-06-25 at 13:55:26ID: 24715937

you can just use the code above that I gave you on the print button...  but you would set a variable each time you click on a thumbnail...  this variable would then be passed to the brower...  so the variable could be the URL of the image.

I will work on it tomorrow.

Is this close?

 

by: rascalpantsPosted on 2009-06-25 at 14:50:27ID: 24716375

no, not really...  lol

more like
