My site consists of a main and many other externalswfs loaded into main.
Externalswfs have inside their own pages – labeled frames.
Main and externalswfs are all timeline based.
As you can imagine frame labels of externalswfs must also be read by swfaddress and history must look like :

http://www.mywebsite.com/ mainswf framelabel / externalswf framelabel

What i could until now achieve is :

http://www.mywebsite.com/ mainswf framelabel or externalswf

my code is :

SWFAddress.setStrict(false);
SWFAddress.onChange = function() {
var value = SWFAddress.getValue();
gotoAndStop(‘$’ + value);
}
SWFAddress.setValue(”);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
SWFAddress.setValue(‘Portfolio’);
}

So what i am missing is the externalswf frame label communication.
I digged everywhere but no such tutorials, examples or codes.
I am very close to a deadline and i would appreciate you guys’ help really a lot.
Best wishes

Does anyone know how to use SWFAddress within MCs? all the tutorials I find seem to use the maintimeline, but I need to know how to make it work within multilevel mc’s.

hi there,

great source friend. i was going through it and i see that you’ve started working on a way to load external swf files and i tried to enable the one on the home page and i get the error message 1120: Access of undefined property homeLoader.

Hi I have noticed that in your AS2 template SWFAddress.href(“http://www.somesite.com”,”_parent”) is not working. Can you check it?

I would like to avoid use of getURL cause have read that there are some issues with swfaddress and geturl on IE.

Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I found your template extremely helpful and useful. Is i possible to explain how to make the array length to 3 or 4 ?

Thanks a lot!!
