Not sure if I will get a reply from a post this old but.. Anyway to specify width and height at the button code? My button is linked to a swf file, not jpg, so lightbox needs to know width and height or it messes all up.

Thanks!

Hi There,
Finally I found a way that works for me…one question, is it possible to add a title to the a tag that is created. I tried to add it a couple of times in the js function, but cant get it to work…
Main problem for me is how to send the title variable from as3 to js…or do you know a better way?
Thnx a million…
Greetz, Kasper

Hey Bill, not sure what you mean exactly, but if you are trying to apply lightbox to that image your code would looks something like this:

var lightBoxCommand:String = “lightBoxInit(‘../images/homeowner.jpg’);”;
var reqprint1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“javascript:” + lightBoxCommand);

btn2sub1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,b21Click);

function b21Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(reqprint1, “_self”);

make sure you have the Javascript in place too.

I’m also having trouble working with lightbox and flash as 3.

This works to direct to an image file but can’t seem to figure out how to include the lightbox and have it work. I’ve looked at so many web forums I’m more confused than when I started.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var reqprint1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“../images/homeowner.jpg”);

btn2sub1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,b21Click);

function b21Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(reqprint1);
}

Hey i’m building a self promotion website and it’s flash. I want to use the lightbox with in my flash web page but its proving to be quite difficult.

Is there a way to call upon all the appropriate javascript files used in an html version and some how link the images so I can take out the middle-man of html? What i’m trying to achieve is a lightbox with no Html…

Can you please help me?

Check out this link on your error, I can’t really give you an answer without seeing code, but should be fairly simple, all AS3 is the same, but remember as I am using Flex.

Hey!
Nice one.Haven’t tested yet though!!
I ‘ll use ExternalInterface instead.

private function runLightbox(eventObject:MouseEvent):void
{
ExternalInterface.call(“lightBoxInit”,”http://www.yoursite.com/image.jpg”);
}
