ActionScript 2.0 :: Dead Links In Multiple Browsers?
May 11, 2010
SWF functions beautifully on its own (i.e., animations play, rollovers work). However, when uploaded to the server and dropped into the HTML with the proper plug-ins, the links suddenly cease to function. Flash still plays beautifully - it's just the links that seem to disappear. The one browser where the links seem to work 'as is' is Firefox on PC.
I am using the basic but usually effective:
on (release) { getURL("http://www.site.com"); }
Sorta-solution:Added "_blank" to the end of the script and this worked in all tested browsers... however, the client wants the URL to open in the same window (they have asked not to provide the actual link). Anyone have a concrete idea as to why and how to fix this?
I am currently developing a banner that contains 4 buttons. Each of these link to different URLs within the website where the banner appears.

Trying to solve flash video crashes in multiple browsers. Both IE8 and Chrome in Windows 7 Home Premium 64b were crashing with flash videos. Reading forums, Adobe Flash was to blame in that it has problems with IE8 64b etc. Well I made sure that the 32bit version was running and still had the same problem. Occasionally I noticed a message advising that the 8500 graphics card had recovered rom a crash. The graphics driver was uninstalled and then re-installed. Strangely both my browsers were no longer processing internet packets. I uninstalled Chrome and re-installed the latest version. IE8 and Chrome then operated normally AND no more flash video crashes.
I'm looking for a way around using flash for video's on a site. Any suggestions for something that might work across multiple browsers that isn't flash based? HTML5 seems promising, but I need something with more browser acceptance. I'm trying to avoid having to serve up difference video's based on user agents.
I am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.
I have a flash file with several layers, each composing of a single movie clip which slides in over the layer below it. The movie clips are nothing more than static images. I would like to make it so that each "slide" links to a different URL.I am new to AS3, and I am just getting back on the flash wagon with this little banner rotating project, so I'm a bit confused with why layers, and timeline positioning seem to be effecting the links.I found a few tutorials online, and can manage to make one link on the bottom layer work, but when I try to expand the code and the file to create links from different movie clips on different layers, I run into problems. when I add the action script for the other buttons, the movie will fail to play by it's self on load. I can get this to work with ode:this.gotoAndPlay(1)at the top of the ActionScript But none of the other links work.Here is what I am using for more than one link:
Code: backpacks.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction); function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
I inherited a flash website about a year ago.. not sure what version it was originally done in. I've made changes on the model last year using CS3 Flash Action script 2, but don't remember the flash version when published. The audio in question is the music that plays in the background when you get on the website:
[URL]
When I changed the image of the model this last week using CS4, I published it as Flash8 actionscript 2... now, the music plays on Mac Safari and Mac Firefox, but not on the Windows versions of IE or Firefox..
this is the code called sound control
onClipEvent(load) { _root.soundstatus="on"; _root.mySound = new Sound(_level0);
[Code]....
then there's the stop() that's used when the music is toggled off..
I've tried updating the flash player in Windows to the latest release, and I even tried republishing as flash 10, just not sure where to troubleshoot this..
I am trying to build a website that does webcams and the only technology that I feel is the best is Flash with the least amount of bandwidth consumption. It will be similar to chatroulette.
I'm trying to pull data from an XML file into a TextArea to take advantage of the scroll bar capabilities.I have two XMLLists, XListCopy & XListURLs. XListCopy is basically a list of words that need to be on their own line. While the XListURLs are the respective links for those words.Since at the moment, I'm using appendText obviously any links will be merged into one. Is there any way to separate each & make each clickable?
I have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL. So far I have only gotten it to work for the final URL. No matter which image I click on, it only brings up that last URL.
Here is my code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler1); function buttonClickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com")); }
I'm working on a project for a client and I'm doing something I have never done in Flash. The Flash first loads four images that have been converted to buttons. Those four by itself link correctly, but when I add the code for the next two sets of images the code breaks and none of the links work. I'm not sure what to do. Here is the code for the first two sets of images:
The last two links cause a problem. I get Error 1120 access of undefined object. However, when I click the button and look in the properties box it says Instance of BTN_Adult01 and Instance of BTN_ModelFemale so I'm not sure what the problem is.
I tried to paste my source code but it won't let me because it contains links and I don't have enough posts, but I did attach the file.
I have kind of a follow up question what would the procedure be if I had like a slide show and each slide when you clicked on it there would be multiple links this is the code I have so far: My slideshow instance names are pic_000_mc to pic_004_mc
[Code]....
I know there is a better and more efficient way to do this then to have all five different functions and listeners.
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.
I made a flash banner + have photo creds on each photo. I want to make it a link to source to the photographer's portfolio.I've got 5 links for 5 buttons, button1, button2, button3, etc, each is named in the library with a matching name for the instance.I got the link working for the first image, but whenever I try and do it for others I keep getting a message of [code]
I have a very simple flash project that I need to be completed tommorow or my head is in the block! I am new to Flash and Actionscript but work well with PHP so do have some idea of what I am doing but, this has left me stumped and in trouble if I don't get it done! Basically my movie is very simple. I have a background and after a short break my first scene flys on with one link then leaves - then the second with a different link, then the third.
I converted all links to buttons and gave them instance names 'button1_btn', button2_btn' and 'button3_btn' and then added my new layer for the action script. Below is the actionscript I used to make the buttons work:
we created thumbnail image gallery slideshow by using action script with auto and manual,. my requirement is , how to include multiple text link in each and every slideshow. below i mention the script code,
i set FMS running fine. I have even enabled TCP port forward, not that i need it localy.the thing is, from other machines the FMS wont answer. FME is going
rmtp://192.168.1.100/live/livestream FMS is in 192.168.1.100 (same machine)
if i go from another lan machine, it simply wont connect.. nor does Access.log relates to anything trying to connect to it. (from other machine, from same machine everything goes smooth)
I can put content on the sprite such as TextFields and shapes and then add the sprite to the stage and nothing shows up at all. Sprtes have never worked with this downlo aded trial of Flash Pro CS5, what the heck is going on with this software????? Yes I am using AS3. Something must be seriously wrong with this software. Should I re-download the software and re-install it or what??
I am trying to implement saving and loading and it went well until I encountered my arrays of items that can be picked up and put in the inventory, as well as enemies that needs to be removed from the stage upon load if they were dead when the game was saved.I have tried adjusting many different attempts which I found on the internet which were related to my issue, but none of them seemed to work. The last was based on creating a new array and adding enemies to it when they die and in some way splice the enemy-array upon load with the dead enemies. But I am not completely sure of how this would work whichi is probably why I didn't manage to make it work. Here is a link to my mainclass AS3 file: [URL]
Even though there are plenty introductions to TDD (even in PHP, my primary programming language now),My friend introduced me TDD a while ago, but I wasn't actually able to understand it - what's the point in writing tests to everything first - even the simplest tasks - when in the end, it looks it's more efficient to test only if something doesn't work, although it might be much harder to locate the bug (this could be solved through VCS, no?).So is there any introduction, with dead-simple examples and arguments behind "pros"?Something like "yeah, it's better, because you have better design - look at this example..."I understand that you create "test" and then the function, that should pass the test. But how you say to language, what results should it have? To me it looks that you do some function... debug it (the same way as you debug in no test driven dev.) and call it test and do it again..Also, is this applicable to MVC approach? Or rather, CodeIgniter Newbie MVC?Read a bunch of posted and googled advices, plans, ways and tutorials. I am still not entirely into TDD - I mostly have pretty good visualisation and I think (hope?) I write pretty maintable code, so i still see it as an extra work...
if you click a button (say the about us button) twice- or when the about us page is up- it kills the movie and shows nothing. how can i make the button inactive while its movie is up. ive dropped in the link so you can see what i mean.
I'm working with an Actionscript 2.0 flash file (though I'm using CS4), trying to determine the cause of the following problem: The client has a flash menu on their own Site A, hosted on their own server. They have some dynamically generated pages on another server, Site B, and that server displays the information and creates a template by pulling the flash menu remotely from the original site's server, Site A.
The flash displays correctly, rollovers animate and work fine, but none of the buttons get the URL. They're just dead when clicked on, whether their supposed to go to a page on Site A OR Site B.

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.
