ActionScript 1/2 :: Make Movieclip Button Link To A URL?
Nov 14, 2010
I have a movieclip and have actionscript on a separate layer that controls the movie clip. However I want to be able to link to a URL when I click the button. Based on what I have does anyone know how to teak my code? Lets pretend the site I want to link to is "[URL]". Here's the code:
How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2); } skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
I'm trying to link a button to the next scene. But the problem is that I can't give an action to the button in the scene, because in the action panel appears: 'Current selection cannot have actions applied to it.' So I have to make a framelabel I guess but doesn't work eather, what's the next step?
I'm just picking up flash and I am trying to make a new menu of buttons in the template and I will be changing the menu that is already there, but it isn't using conventional menu coding. This is the piece of code I am trying to use for my button to lead to a different movie clip to a different frame than the one the buttons are sitting in, a separate movie clip.
Of course there are more buttons, this is just one. Customhomes is the frame label, customhms_btn is the instance name. It tells me that customhms_btn is not defined. I have this code sitting in the movie clip that the buttons are in by itself in the first layer.
I have managed to create some buttons movie clips and understand how to link pages. The only question i have is how do you make the button/link for the current page highlight so the user can know what page they are on? Is there a way to have a current page indicator in flash as you can do with html/css?
Im trying to make a button within a movie clip play another movie clip (within the same movie clip as the button) and go to the nextframe as well, is it even possible and if it is how?
I have a gallery swf which enlarges the picture when clicked on it. I am looking to add a button which shows me the large image in another frame when clicked.
I'd like to learn how to link a button from level 6 to level1 layer 56 frame 89 and in to movieclips 2nd frame. button name: Symbol1 movieclip name: movieclip

2). when i placed my 3 buttons in a movieclip and after assigning them action to it(that is linking to movieclip), it did not show any action...why this happens...???..how could it be resolved?
I am trying to make a button work in a Flash cs4 file using as2. It is a template I am modifying from DreamTemplate. I don't know what I am supposed to change and exactly what I should change that unknown code to Here is the code I have:
[Code]...
As you can see I have tried to replace the url that was in the quotes and it does not work.
I saved as swf & got this error msg in the compiler errors: Symbol=but1,layer 4, frame=1 Mouse events are only for button instancesIn the library I checked the properties of the button and its a movies clip, I'm not sure if it will make any difference if I change to button or graphic?I would like to upload the fla and swf files but this forum doesn't seem to allow me to attach files to messages.
I Want to have a button info_btn. Now i know how to make a button and link it to a scene/frame.
But what im asking is, i want the button to display something (text field or movieclip(doesn't matter )) but I do not want it to go to another scene or frame if you know what i mean ? i want it to display there and then on the same scene and frame with a button to close it.. Is this possible?
I am creating a website in Flash CS5 and Im having trouble with linking a button inside a movie clip inside another movie clip. In theory it should work as ive tried but doesn't. I have a movieclip called content for the main/top level pages but then i have sub pages which I have created another movie clip content2
This is code I have (an example): about.onRelease = function(){ content.gotoAndStop("About"); }
This code works in the top level pages. My porblem is linking from here to a sub level page (movieclip in movieclip). info.onRelease = function(){ content.content2.gotoAndStop("Info"); }
I've done exactly the same as i would have for top level pages. How can this be fixed? Can it be done in AS2 if not can it be done in AS3 and what is a SIMPLE method in AS3 to link pages etc. I want to keep the pages/frames organised using movie clips to layer them. I want a good structure.
1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
What is the code to make a movie clip button....when pressed...open or plays another movieclip...example.i have a button..and its a movie clip with roll over and rollout effect..once pressed...how do i make it link to an outside movieclip.
i created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler); function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg")); trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.
I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest' I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.
I have 3 movieclips, and I want them to work like buttons. It's for a website, so they need to redirect the user to a URL.
The entire flash file has 7 layers, and one of these layers is called "AS3", and is ment for all my actionscript. So, i figured if I gave the MC's an instance name, then I could write the AS3 in the "AS3"-layer. But I can't seem to get any code to work.
Having problems with a buttons which is inside a movieclip and this movieclip is under another button.The buttons is not clickable anymore.I have a panel which is having a button when you rollOver the movieclip will goes up.And I want that the buttons which is under the movieclip is clickable.When I rollOut of the movieclip I want it to go back to its original positional tion.[code]...........
What I am trying to do is get a button to make a movieclip go to a specific frame. I have a movieclip that plays a set of frames up to the 100th frame, and then I tell it to go back to and play frame 1 again. However, at about 105, I have another set of frames that I want to play at the push of a button. How would I go about doing this?
