ActionScript 1/2 :: Hyperlinks In Dynamic Text
Aug 11, 2009
I have a dynamic textbox on the 3rd level of a flash movie. The textbox has some hyperlinks for which I used this AS2 code as a test:[code]When I test the scene it works well on all levels apart from the root level. When I test the whole movie, the link does not respond. On rollover the mouse converts into a text cursor, and I have to click several times, until randomly a hand comes up and the link opens. I don't understand why on all sublevels (in the movieclips), the link works perfectly (on rollover mouse becomes hand and click loads URL int browser), but not on the root level. Btw, I placed the movie with the textbox on top, so there is no layer above that in the root timeline.

Is it possible to control aspects of a movie clip using hyperlinks within a dynamic text box?I am using LoadVars to import text from an external .txt file into a dynamic text box,and although I can create simple hyperlinks (using <a> tags) within the box that can redirect the current page to a new URL, is it possible to have links which work within the flash movie - i.e. navigating to another scene?

{

I'm new to flash as a whole but it is necessary for a project that I'm working on. How to make a scrolling dynamic text box through trial and error, and I'm proud of that feature. But now I need to know if two things are possible. Can I create a hyperlink (if I can call it that) that will pull documents off of the web? And if so what is a sample function. The second thing I would like to know is can I embed an image file into that dynamic text box? If so how can I do that.

i'm loading text into flash via XML, into a dynamic textfield. so when populated, eg:
Name: xxxx
URL: www.xxxxx.com
Description: This is a test
Name: zzzz
URL: www.zzzz.com
Description: This is a test2
is there a way that while populating the text. i can also make them as hyperlink?
example. site 1, xxxx, when URL is loaded www.xxxxx.com, user can immediately click on the text and navigate to the URL.
from all my sources, event listener must be added. So do I have to create individual textfield in order to hold the URL?

I have created a flash website and have encountered a problem. I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0.I have created a text box (at the moment it is Dynamic because I have it scrolling) with text entered into it. I want hyperlink sections of the text to other frames within the flash movie. The text box is on the "news" frame - this is a page for archived news. I want to highlight pieces of the text and create hyperlinks to each of the archived news stories (each of which is on a different frame).I know how to create buttons from text and link them to different frames, however I do not want to do this because I want to maintain the text box (with hyperlinks within the text box) so that I can make this page scrollable.I have tried highlighting the text and hyperlinking it to the frame number, to the frame name, to the frame anchor, ec..

I want to create a page with art work where images are pulled externally and the items in the grid also have text and are clickable (all taken from XML).I succesfully extracted information from XML and am using a for loop to create my image gird but not sure this is the best method? I have used an XML gallery tutorial from Republic of Code to get me started. Below is the for loop what I am struggling with at the moment is that the product images are not loading into the individual movie clips.Im new to AS3 so sorry if I am doing this all wrong.
Code:
function callProductThumbs():void {
//Loops through the XML Lists as defined by external Web Service

I'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

I am working with flash 6 with a map that is already made.
1. find a layer with a name "LINKS".
2. Press F9.
3. The window "Actions" will open.In it a window you will see the following code.
4. In it a code you can change links for any state.
//Washington
_root.map.state1.onPress=function(){
this.gotoAndStop(10);
getURL("http://www.yourdomen.com/yourpage.html");
Easy enough except for the fact that there is no layer named links. All the layers are numbered. I can't get a response from the company.

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s

when I try to make text or a button into a hyperlink within that tooltip, it doesn't seem to be usable in the preview. I click on the text/button, and it just doesn't do anything. I've tried coding it several different ways, and looked for an appropriate tutorial, but I haven't been able to find any luck. Is there something I'm missing? Can I even make hyperlinks in a tooltip that's made with that simplified code, or will I have to find another way to make them?

I created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 that I exported as a .swf and inserted it into a html based webpage. I would like the buttons I created with url actions to open the url in the same broswer window and not in a new broswer window. Is this possible in ID CS5 and if not how can I get it done.
