BASED ON EXTERNAL HTML CALL, JUMP TO A TIMELINE FRAME.

[rocis]

Hi 

I need to open the Hippo page from two different normal html pages.
Based on which page is calling the Hippo page, I need to jump to a certain timeline frame.

Example:
I have an html page named sun.html, another page named moon.html and a page home.html containing the Hippo project:
- Pressing a button in page sun.html I need to open home.html and soon jump to frame 50 in the Hippo timeline.
- Pressing a button in page moon.html I need to open the same home.html but to jump to frame 100 in the Hippo timeline.

I guess I have to use in the button a code like "<a href="home.html & desiredFrame = 50">FRAME 50</a>"
adding a variable with its value (desiredFrame = 50)  after the link "home.html".

Please is this the right mode to send the command to Hippo? How can I get this value within Hippo?

Thank you, best regards!

I suggest you look at the query string options.


<a href="home.html?desiredFrame=50">FRAME 50</a>

Then in general you could add:

var desiredFrame=GetQueryString("desiredFrame");
if(desiredFrame&&desiredFrame.length>0){
GotoAndStop(parseInt(desiredFrame));
}

Hi
Thank you!!

I tested your nice code and it work perfectly.

Now I have one more problem.
My Hippo project is contained in an html page.
For example let's say it is like your "TestPage.html"

Obviously, if I call the "TestPage.html" using my usual link "TestPage.html?desiredFrame=50", I can no longer read in hippo the variable I sent.

Probably I should have a small javascript in the "TestPage.html" page that read the variable received and then "repeat" it to the Hippo project contained therein.

Please how can I do?
I've been looking for solutions on StackOverflow, but I've found some cumbersome scripts based on "window.location.search.substr(1)" that I can not handle


Thank you, best regards!
