I've created a button in a swf file when clicked should open a website in a new window. It works on my mac but it doesn't work for my client's pc. The banners are here [URL] . It's obviously something wrong with my Flash file because my client can make the banner on this page [URL] work.

The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.
i am very new to xml flash and i have a problem in my code i m making a flash website for my frd and i cant make it work .....i am having problem regarding my coding i have few buttons which says click here but i cant link them. my code is here
xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<albums>
<gallery id="1" name="MY photos " path="images/">[code].....
this is probably a simple issue, but i'm new to actionscript and am pulling my hair out trying to get this email button working. I have a simple button in flash 8 which I have labeled "email_btn." I am using actionscript 3.0 and in the actions layer I have this code:
[Code]....
I have a movieclip acting as a button with a dynamic textbox inside. The text is being passed via a xml and it has a URL associated with it. But the link does not work. When I remove the onRollOver action that makes my mc button show a rollover state the link works. But when the rollover is active it doesn't.
If there's a way to pass the URL via xml to the button, instead of the text inside the button, that would also be good. (even better because that way the whole button would link, and not just the text)
I have been searching the internet almost a week to solve this issue with no luck !
I am having problems with my slide show play/pause buttons
When pressed, the pause button does not pause at all (the slide show automatically cycles every 5 seconds)
and the play button starts playing the slide show from the beginning instead of from the place that it was paused.
the file is attached and here is a direct link to view the problem [URL]
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 bought ready templete for flash website and have problem with creating code for link. You can see templete website on happyrobot.info/good and I want to place links behinde ABOUT US , SOLUTIONS , SERVICES so I can redirect to diferen sites. You can download fla file from happyrobot. info/ download it is index.fla
View 4 RepliesThere this link in Flex that was working and now isnt... Flex is giving me a headache with this one because it is not throwing any errors either.
In the script part of the XML I have this:
private function onLinkClick( event:TextEvent ):void {
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest( event.text );
navigateToURL( url , "_top");
}
[Code].....
It was working but now the link doesn't and the swf's not throwing any errors either. This is very strange behavior, would anyone know why the link won't work?

I have an an array of objects. I populate the datagrid from the array. The nmber of columns in the datagrid is fix i.e.5 and the first column always shows serial number (0,1,2,3,4). I have a link button called 'CLEAR' in the last column of the datagrid.
1> How do I make the clear button visible only when the row is particularly clicked 2> When the clear button is clicked, how do I make the contents of that particular row cleared. Not deleted, only cleared to insert data again. Also, the serial number (0,1,2,3,4) should not be cleared, nor deleted. How to do this ?
I am trying to make a button in such a way so that after you clicked on it, the button will change colour, indicating that the link has been visited.
View 3 RepliesI want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
I have a flash banner and i am using AS 2.0. The code embedded in the flash banner works with any url other that the one i am trying to embed.Here is the code i am using:
on (press)
{
getURL("https://wcc.webeventservices.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?[code]....
Somehow flash does not like https links. It works fine with other links.
quick question regarding the TextEvent:LINK.It stopped working recently when I switched my interface and I'm not quite sure why or how to fix it.I have a movie clip which contains a text area and a scroll handler. 3 of these are added to my interface, although only 1 at a time is active in the display, depending on which tab you click.
All of that works fine, but once I change the chat object (textfield and scrollbar) in the display, it seems to stop working, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm not creating new instances all together, just adding and removing from a parent clip upon clicking different tabs.
what would be or could be causing this? As far as I can tell nothing is over or obstructing the clip containing the text field and scroll bar. The scroll bar actions work fine, which is next to the text field, however there seems to be no action going on as far as clicking links in the text field.
Edit - Textfield is selectable, I know they need to be for the event to work.
I am a graphic designer. I do not work with flash too much. I recently make a flash banner for my client but had a problem with linking the flash file to the url. I know actionscript 3.0 little.I used a movieclip (instance name: link_handler) over all content and set alpha to zero. That use this coding:[code]I used _self because i want to open the link to current window. If i use nothing it open in new tab/window. But this causing error when clicked and flash player shows this error.[code]you can see the page here. montana2you.bigcartel(.)com/ The banner is in the footer. (all url replaced by {url} )
View 4 RepliesI have a problem trying to get a button to go back to the start of the a main movie.

I had to do some maintenance on an older flash site I built (Flash MX, AS2.0). I have some href links in a html text. For some reason they are no longer working correctly. If you click on it, it will do nothing. If you right-click on it, a menu will open with options to Open, Open in new window, & Copy link.
View 3 RepliesWe have a Flash banner on the home page and each slide has a link to some other page. Everything works fine, exept in IE.
Basically what happens is that if you click on the banner the first time, the link will work fine and bring you to the new page. However, if you go back to the home page again, then the banner does not even present a link anymore (it will still work fine as far as the banner rotation is concerned - just no more links)..

View 1 RepliesI have a flash banner that rotate 6 images(slides). and it includes 6 buttons to navigate in to each image. Also images are rotates automatically every 10sec.But these buttons are not clickable in FF/Chrome, but work fine in IE with wmode: transparent. Also these buttons work fine in all browsers with wmode: opaque.Also there is drop down menu on top of the flash movie(a separate menu not included in the flash). In wmode: opaque dropdown part of the menu goes behind the Flash. In wmode: transparent that want happen.
View 1 RepliesWe have a little app in use with a customer where html links are generated dynamically at run time. The link text and url are put together from a couple of txt files that the customer regularly goes in and edits. These links have recently stopped working.
Of course, you would think the immediate culprit is the customer who has made a mistake in the txt files. But the the same vars from the same files are used to generate a couple of buttons on the page that DO work. And everything works when I export it from flash. It stops working as soon as it gets to a web server.
Here is the output from the functions that piece together the input data:

And here is the link to the app: [URL]
Choose a category in any of the lists and then any of the subheaders that appear. Most have a link in them. It's in Swedish but I know you lot are smart enough to navigate a flash app without understanding what you're clicking on

I am having a problem where my buttons on main timeline are working fine. When I create a button within a movieclip layer (a page importeded from Photoshop as a movieclip) the button is not working once I leave. It doesn't show as a working button when I select Enable simple buttons, when I preview or publish as HTML. The thing is, it is a button, it has an instance name, is that weird blue color... and it works fine when I am double clicked into that movieclip layer. I also tried common library buttons and they work fine until I leave that layer as well, also tried it within other layers and creating a new file and doing it... all no success!
