Flash :: Get URL Links From Xml In As3 And Set To Each Button In My Timeline?

Jan 9, 2012

Right now I have a static way that I set the url's to 5 buttons, here's a sample of what I am doing:

Object(root).grid_slider.links.twitter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToTwitter);
Object(root).grid_slider.links.facebook.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToFacebook);
function fl_ClickToGoToFacebook(event:MouseEvent):void[code]......

I have everything working fine but I have been asked that the url's are loaded from a xml file instead of static. Not quite sure where to go from here..I've read how to read from xml but do I need to set the values in global variables?

External And Internal Links - Move To A Frame Outside The Main Timeline

Jan 3, 2010

Not sure if I'm in the right place, I apologize in advance if so. I'm somewhat proficient with html, but fairly new to flash, using cs4pro, as3. Here's my dilemma. Converting an existing html/css site to flash. Flash is main site now but a few html pages are still linked, a buy page and a form page, a few others. I can get the all the external html pages to link to a frame in the flash movie, and I can get the flash to link with all external urls.

My problem comes when I move to a frame outside the main timeline. The movie is lets say 393 frames. All symbols/content are on seperate layers, and so is the action. Once the full movie ends, I have several frames past that where I have basically created frames for additional "pages" and created anchors for those frames, new layes for content, new layers for anchor (labeled) and new layers for a stop(); on each frame, I extended the pertinant graphic frames out to 410 from the original movie.

Now when the movies runs the buttons appear at about frame 115, so in the action layer I coded a keyframe and then added frames of it out to frame 410 or so: I have attached the .fla Now I'm lost here. When you navigate the site, from home lets say to an external link (button) like members, the html member page opens, and if you click home button, back to flash frame, and all works, all buttons, on the home frame 393. But if you go to any of the external htmls, and then go back to any other frame like frame 401 the about page, and all the rest 402 403, etc, the page appears properly, but then none of the links function. the site URL is [URL]there is a flash intro too, swf in question is actually at[URL]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Links Of The Different Time Periods Of The Timeline To Change Color?

Dec 6, 2008

I am creating a timeline and as you scroll the timeline, I want the links of the different time periods of the timeline to change color as the timeline passes that point. Here is the code I have:

Code:
onEnterFrame = function()
{
if( _root.Target._x < 21 )
{

[Code]....

The If and Else statement both work fine, but the Else IF statement does not work at all. The color will not change when the movie clip is between those two x values.

Change Webpages With Button URL Links?

Oct 25, 2009

I'm building a site to showcase various engagement tools for the web. Most of what is involved is new to me. My biggest challenge is finding the right AS3 code to make buttons link to URLs. when I try to duplicate it and change the btn name, in order to make two, or three or four separate links to four unique buttons I get an error about trying to call the same function more than once. This is her code and as I said it works for one button link. Can it be made to work for multiple instances?

inv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com")); trace("I'm clicked");}

Right now all of my links use the Properties text link feature, which continues to deliver target=blank function despite my having deleted the target and saved and republished way more than once.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Play Pause Button On Main Timeline In Flash Movie

Jan 28, 2011

I have been trying to create a play/pause button for the main timeline in my flash movie. Created a movie clip with 1st frame - a pause graphic, then on 2nd frame - play graphic, labelled the frames 'pause' and 'play' consecutively and put a stop action on the first frame of the movieclip. Then put the following code in the actions layer of the main timeline (and gave instance name of 'ppBtn' to the movieclip):

var pp:Boolean = true;
function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {
if(pp) {
stop();
event.target.gotoAndStop('pause');
[Code] ....

It works in stopping and starting the movie but the actual movieclip doesn't toggle between the pause and the play graphics (just stays on the 'pause' state - 1st frame).

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Streamlining Complex Button Links

Mar 19, 2009

I have buttons that need to perform multiple functions: On rollover, they send their link to the browser's status bar. On roll out they clear the status bar. On press they send tracking code to the html. And on release they send getURL with the link. I've put in some variables so that I don't need to copy the links over and over, but I'd really like to streamline button functions so that I don't need to make a whole new set of onRollover onRollout onPress onRelease functions for each and every link. how to simplify button functions so that they can work for any button.

Code:
//IMPORT THE JAVASCRIPT EXTERNAL
import flash.external.*;
//THE FUNCTION THAT WILL CALL THE JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION IN THE HEAD OF THE HTML DOC
function jsStatus(link) {
// The name of a JavaScript function to call
//IN QUOTES, IN THIS CASE callStatusBar

Starting Animation - Button Links To Go To Web Folder

Sep 6, 2009

I have a flash movie with some buttons created through action script. Currently the button links are going inside the flash menu, starting an animation. I need them to go to web folder, but I don't know how to do it.

This is the part for the button action :
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
_root.page = this._parent.item_no + 1;
_root.play();
};

It creates 8 buttons. I tried this:
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
};

When I do this, publish and click on any button, it opens both links. How can I assign for each button, a link? Here's the whole code for the button generation and linking :
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
flashmo_logo._visible = false;
flashmo_logo._y = 300;
menu_item_group.menu_item._visible = false;

Actionscript 3.0 :: Pull Links From XML For A Button In Lee's RSS Reader?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Mp3 Player - Add Another Attribute In For A Clickable Button That Links To Another Page

Aug 17, 2007

I've gone through an mp3 tutorial series and modified the final result for what i'm looking for. one thing i would like though is to be able to add another attribute in for a clickable button that links to another page that would have lyrics. so my xml would look like this i believe or something close <song name ="Test Track 4" band ="Band4" file="test4.mp3" lyrics="testlyrics.html" /> basically so it adds another button in after the track listing so you can click and view the lyrics that would be on a separate page. I don't quite understand how it all draws together in flash actionscript and how to put the lyrics attribute on another button.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Slideshow With Links - Incorrect Links After 1 Replay?

Aug 17, 2011

i created a flash slideshow with pictures of events and link each picture with its own event (ie. each pictures has its own links to the website). I created the fade in and fade out effect using the class motion tween. With the link, I created a layer with a button that has alpha= 0 (so the user don't see it) and then I used code snippet to make another layer with the action script "click to go to url."

When the slideshow goes to the last picture I made it fade out and the first picture of the slideshow would show up and then the slideshow would replay itself (by default?). My goal is to make a continuous slideshow.

When I tested the swf file, the first time it runs, everything is right. The urls and the pictures are in correct order. However when the slideshow replays itself automatically, I notice that the links are incorrect. In the first play, when I click the picture of the event it would open the url of that event.However when the sldieshow replays, clicking the pictures would only open the url of the first event picture. When I click on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.pictures the browser opens only the link of the first picture of the slideshow.

ActionScript 2.0 :: HTML Links From An XML Document - Links Not Working

Apr 21, 2011

I've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:

ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";

[Code].....

The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Streamlining The Code For The Button Group With Individual Links And Rollover Images?

Dec 2, 2011

I know I can make an array if all the buttons would have a unified code executable change, i.e. they would become larger and brighter.
My problem is that each button represents an product image in the lights off stage, then of rollover it is a lights on stage so I have to import two images in the on and off stage and play around with the opacity.Additional problem is that each button has to ling to a different label.
 
My question is: is it possible to unify the code if buttons have that much individuality or I have to make each one of them as in the example below. 
 
// makes a hand cursor appear over a mc acting as a button for all the buttons inside the scrollpnaeBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btns_mc.
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.buttonMode = true;
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.useHandCursor = true;
