Flash cue points: Link from a website to specific point in a flash animation

_x000D_ You can try using variables in the link addresses. This means just add something like ?lang=eng at the end of your linked URL. Flash can read that address (only from HTML embed) and have code that does something depending on what comes after the lang= part. There's better ways to do this including real variable parsing but I just went with a simple converting browser address to String and then extract the last (language) bit. Just to see if that works too. For testing only you need an MC and two textfields on stage with these instance names: txt_url shows the full browser address txt_lang shows the final 3 letter language code MC_lang is (your) movieclip that changes frames according to txt_lang customising: you can customise your variable with these two lines: var Index_one:int = 5 + int( tempSTR.indexOf("lang=") ); Here 5 is because lang= has five characters. When you change the word you must change the number to match word/symbols length also. case "eng" must match the language code you choose (eg: if you go with ?lang=english_UK then in code it becomes case "english_UK" import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.external.ExternalInterface; var str_url :String = ""; get_Language(); function get_Language () : void { // GET LANGUAGE var url:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString"); if (url != null) //if is not null { txt_url.text = url; txt_lang.text = get_lang_URL(url); } //SET BY LANGUAGE if (txt_lang.length > 0) //if is not null { switch(txt_lang.text) { case "eng": MC_lang.gotoAndStop(1); break; case "jap": MC_lang.gotoAndStop(2); break; case "bra": MC_lang.gotoAndStop(3); break; } } } //EXTRACT LANGUAGE VARIABLE FROM ADDRESS function get_lang_URL (input_str:String):String { var tempSTR:String = input_str; var finalSTR:String = ""; var Index_one:int = 5 + int( tempSTR.indexOf("lang=") ); var Index_two = input_str.length - Index_one; finalSTR = tempSTR.substr(Index_one, Index_two ); return finalSTR; }
