Here's my new question: What code I have to input in a button file in Flash, for that when I click it opens a site I've made, in a browser? I'm doing my website in Flash, and the other website I want to put the link was made in Dreamweaver. It's not hosted, it's in my pen, that's why I'm having problems with the code.

After I upload the files, I can see the hand icon when I mouse over them, but when I click on that spot nothing happens. I have two text links on the same page that do work. One is an email link and the other is a url link. I have check the button names to my code and they do match.
I have created mc's (movie clips) for each one of my pages and for pages within those pages, if you can understand that lol. The problem I am having is, linking from one mc to another.
Example: I am in my home page movie clip, and I have a "read more" button on one of the articles, when a user clicks on this button I want him to be redirected to the page that article is on.
In my case, I am making a website that gives users information on Paris, France. On my home page I have an article that speaks about Napoleonic and I have created a "read more" button. The information on Napoleonic is on the landmarks page(which is its own movie clip). When the user clicks on the "read more" button I want him to be redirected to the page thats in its own movie clip with the info.
how to link the button I made to say Scene 2 of my flash project. I'm not sure the actionscript required or where I put the action script.
Here is the file I'm using, trying to simply figure out how to make the open button go to scene 2. [URL]
I have created seven buttons using Flash version 9 following a tutorial on this site [URL]. The buttons function the way they were designed, however, when I attempt to link them with a URL or a unpublished website file (eg. contact.html or index.html) the button brings up the "TextEdit" application on my Mac.
The action script 3 code that I am using:
btn_6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("contact.html"), "_same");}
I have even tried using action script 2 code after changing the publish settings to AS2:
btn_6.onRelease=function(){
getURL("[URL]", _same);}
The results are the same. When I test the buttons, they link to an application on my Mac. All of my buttons are on the same layer.
I have recently followed a Adobe Flash tutorial, which has helped me make MovieClip buttons which extend to the left when hovered over.
This tutorial can be found here: [URL]
An example and download link for the project is at the bottom of that page.
Everything on the tutorial went fine, but now I am trying to work out how to make these MovieClip buttons link to another URL.
What code do I need to do this, and where do I need to put it?

I've converted a graphic that i imported into a button. And put this action script on it to go to a certain scene.
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("2,1");
}
This button should make the movie go to scene 2, frame 1, but its just not workinBackground info:The first scene is jsut a short intro where a couple buttons finally come up in a keyframe. In the keyframe itself, I have a stop action so the main scene doesnt loop. And on each button I have the action that i wrote above, to go to certain scenes depending on which button i click. Am i totally setting this up wrong structurally? Do i need to put any kind of "Reset" action if i want to go back to a previous scene. Also, in each scene, I have a mouse hide and replace action, could this have anything to do with it?
basically I want to embed a SWF file on one site, and then I want to be able to send that code to people so they can easily embed the file on their site,however, when I tried this on a separate site, the embedded FLV didn't play

Files: Attached is a link to a file I made named "index". [URL] I would have liked to have included the following files but was limited due to "you-send-it" not uploading folders. Files not included: [but functioning and vital to the site as well as the question]
- xml list
- images [folder]
- thumbnails [folder]
Project scope: Website is an online-art gallery. I was able to get a functioning xml rolling thumbnail bar as well as have it load images. [Due to certain circumstances I was forced to put the project on hold until now.] It consist of 17 buttons, on the index [home] page, which are to call upon an xml file to load the appropriate scrolling thumbnail bar and the images which it loads upon clicking.
Problem
When you open up the index file, go to the actions layer. You will see the script needed to load in the xml scrolling thumbnails as well as the associated images. The actionscript is fine and works in as much as when I save out an swf file the thumbnails dynamically load in and when I click on them the associated image loads to stage as well. [again if you download the index file you will not see this as not all the files were able to be uploaded due to "you-send-it" as mentioned.]

I have a drop down movie button that shows the drop down when scrolled over but i cannot get the drop down buttons to link to the relevant frames.My current script on the dropped down button is
on (release) {gotoAndStop(6);

which does nothing.
I'm very new to Flash (using CS3). I created a button instance out of text but I don't know what to do next. I'd like for the button to link to a different place in the timeline of my website. Right now, when I click on the text link and go to actions, it says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it". I'malso not sure what the script should read and if all the script goes into one "actions" layer or separately. This is what I'd like for it to look like: [URL]
The button that I'm trying to create right now is the "print" button which would bring up the section with the clickable thumbnails that you see on top. It's my first time using flash. I already placed everything in the document. Should all the different links just be different places in the timeline? Sorry if this is a n00b question but I'm still trying to understand how flash works as a website (my previous experience is only web banners).
So the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.
How do i link the items in the list to a button?
View 5 RepliesDecided to stick with AS2.0, i've got buttons that are working great, linking to certain frames in my timeline etc. The only problem I'm having is after they have been clicked and gone to their respected frame, they remain clicked. This is my code for each button

Could this be something in my code or something in the timeline i've possibly done wrong?
This post has been edited to clarify, so that should explain the answer above.I am sure this topic has been covered a million times, but for the life of me, I have been searching the internet for hours trying to find a simple solution to this problem. I am using Flash Cs4 with actionscript 3 and flash player 10 for publish settings. I have a button that I want to open a new webpage. When the button is pressed, I want the window to open so the user can see the original webpage they were on before, and I dont want the original webpage to close. In other words, I want to open a new webpage without closing the original webpage, and allow the user to see both webpages, at the same time doing away with the back button. Is this possible? Here is the script I am using. It is placed on a seperate layer called actions. :
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://mycw3.eclinicalweb.com/cent/jsp/login.jsp"));
}
It does allow me to open the window seperately as long as I am testing the movie in Flash, but when I publish the movie and imbed in into a Dreamweaver Html document (Xhtml), you have to use the back button to go back to the original page. I know this might not be the best way to navigate but the person I am doing this page for wants it this way only.
I have a button in a movie clip named "mc2" inside "mc1" and I want that button the link to a frame which is labled "circles" in "mc1".

Where I put the images I want to use in my shadowbox? Currently I've copied all the files that came with shadowbox into my root folder. I'm not sure where else to go from there. I'm rather new to flash.
