Flash and Dynamic Pics in html Question?

[rizzil]

Hi,

From a flash movie I have thumbnails which when clicked on I want a new window to appear with a large version of the pic with a formated border and a logo.

I dont want to have to create a seperate formatted html page for each seperate pic.

Now is it possible to have one dynamic html file that can load any single pic with the a comon border and logo.

To pass variables (pic file name) can i use a javascript method within a HTML file or do i need to use ASP?

Please help.

Thanks.

If it is a flash movie...why don't you just create a movie with your larger version then when you click your thumbnail your picture will display?

Or do you want a POPUP(HTML) page to come up without creating a seperate html page?

I think if you want to have a POP-UP appear out of flash the best way to do it is to create a seperate HTML page for each.

Otherwise ASP would be the best way but then you are getting complicated especially if your going out of Flash

The way that I would go about it is to create a Recordset in DW.

A recordset is a vitual group of items that you request to be retrieved from a database. This selection of data can then be manipulated and/or displayed on the Web Page. A recordser can contain one or more items in it.

If you have DreamweaverMX on your comp do the following...

1) Click FILE & then NEW

2) Click DYNAMIC PAGE

3) Click ASP VBscript

4) Click CREATE

5) Click the BINDINGS tab

6) Click + and select RECORDSET (QUERY)

7) Type a name for your recordset

8) Click DOWN DROPBOX & select your connection

9) Click TEST to view the recordset you have created

LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GO WITH THAT......I HAVE NOT TESTED DIRECTLY OUT OF FLASH

Add this code on to the button in Flash:


on (release) {
//Change this variable to the name of the image you want to appear
var picture1 = "image1.gif";
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('htmlfile.php?picture=" + picture1 + "','PageTitle','height=550,width=750,toolbar=no,scr ollbars=yes')");
}

and then add this code into the html file (save file with .php extension) where you want the picture to appear:

<?php
echo("<img src='$picture'>");
?>

I'm not sure if this is the 'best' way to do it but it certainly works - let me know how you get on...

If you want to see a working example go to click here (http://www.badgworthcourt.co.uk) and look at the 'Floor plans' section.
