For some reason I can't seem to link a menu on a homepage with the internal pages of the website i'm working on. The thing is that this menu is only supposed to be seen as it is on the home page (it changes to a different location, and has a different look on the internal pages). Problem is I can't seem to get the button to link to the corresponding page.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to get buttons to link to internal web pages and the flash to stop at the end but I am having difficulties. I put the correct action script in the actions tab, but it seems that they aren't working. The website is [URL]
View 7 Repliesi just started with actionscript and flash in general a few days ago.. so im sorry if i might ask dumb questions the last 2 days i was looking for answers on the interwebs, but im just not ready yet to read and understand tasks properly, so this is my first forumthreat ever my project: i want to make a homepage (mainly for learning) with a menu (loaded swf).that menu is a panorama with buttons on it, so the menu loops to left or right according to the mouseX position.i succeeded to have that menu work, the buttons work (until now) as well, but the code that should clone the loaded content doesnt!i took those code snippets from riacodes here is my code:
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

I am fairly new to flash and I have started to attempt to modify a template that I found online to make it my own. The thing that I am having problems with is the URL Links. There are 5 different clickable tabs on the header that I have, and when you edit it in flash cs4, each one is the same image when you edit it. The only way in which you can change what each one of them says is by editing them in the library. This isn't the problem. I want to link these tabs to different pages on my website. When I edit one of them, all of them change to the same url link. The file is too large for me to upload I think.
View 4 RepliesI have laid out the four pages that I wish and have created a button for each page on each page.I was told a simple stop script would stop the pages acting like a movie.I entered:
14:00PM
stop();
function button1_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("home");}
function button2_clicked(e:MouseEvent) :void{ gotoAndStop("about");
[code]....
which I was told would accomplish this and link the buttons to the relevant pages. When I test the movie the buttons start flickering as well as the images.....
I'm trying to use a .swf for a navagation button in a website I am creating but I'm running into a bit of a problem. I need to know how to code the button (In Flash) so that they link to my specific .html page. Is this possible to do with a realitive link?

View 2 RepliesI'm creating website that I want to put my resume and portfolio on as different Flash applications. For my resume it would be like a mini-web site that has various linking buttons to different pages. I tried to use scenes b/c I had a professor who told us to use scenes to create our pages/animations, and the scenes concept did not work with the actionscripting.
I then read online that scenes were not the way to go. So I'm trying to use Frame Labels to create this - right now I made a menu movie clip that I have my actionscript in for each button - the buttons have the correct instance names and I have my frames properly labeled with their movie clips attached to each for each part of the resume/page portion.
This is the code I'm using in the Menu movie clip. The problem I'm having is that when I click on each button - nothing happens! I tried this one, and nothing happened:
education.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, educationCLICK);
function educationCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay('education');
};
And then I tried to re-order it and nothing happened:
function educationCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay('education');
};
education.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, educationCLICK);
I have a button in the scrollbar that has a mask.(scrollbar_mc, mask and content_mc) Now I stuck with HOW TO LINK IT to other pages that are in scene 1 ?
View 9 RepliesI'm using Adobe CS4 Professional flash to create the basis of the website, a photo background with an interactive menu overlay on top.

View 1 RepliesSo this might be an easy but possibly a long answer, but I can't seem to find any good info on it anywhere. I'm trying to figure out how to have different sections of my flash site be linked to with different URLs. A good example of what I mean would be this site here: [URL] I'm not the biggest fan of the design but the functionality is great. It animates seamlessly between pages and each page has a separate URL. Is there an easy way to explain how this is accomplished?
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble linking buttons from a swf banner that will be on all html pages. I'm using the following script, which doesn't work yet.For now, I have only two buttons.

I have created a flash website in cs4 using AS2. I have 2 layers in my time line, content and AS. I created scenes along the time line and labeled each scene "about" "contact" etc.Each scene is 10 frames long and has the stop action applied to it. The gotoAndPlay command is applied to each button within the scene and I have used the folowing action on the buttons to link the pages:on (release) {gotoAndPlay("scenename");}This does link the pages however if i hit any of the buttons twice, it directs me to the wrong page. For example if I hit the home button twice, it will direct me to the about page. Should I be targeting a frame within the scene also?
View 3 Replies1. Handling pages.How do I handle working with pages in Flash ?Do I create a frame for each page and place the content of the page in that frame and when needing to go to a page I simply go to it's frame ?Or do I use ActionScript to put and remove content from the stage and create every page in this way ?What I mean by this is: if a page has a menu and a picture, I use ActionScript to put the menu and the picture there. If the next page has some text and a button, I use ActionScript to remove the menu and the picture from the last page and put the text and the button from the new page.
The first method seems simpler but that means that if the page has some content that needs to be loaded (a picture, for example), this content will need to be loaded every single time the page is opened.The second method requires more work but is it more efficient ? When I remove the content from the page, do I move it to a negative x and y so that it cannot be seen or do I remove it completely and just load it again the next time the page is opened ?Please explain to me, as detailed as possible, what do you think is the best method in working with pages.2. Handling a flow communication with PHP.I constantly need to communicate back and forth with PHP. I use a LoadVars variable to send data to PHP (using "POST") and I use an XML variable to retrieve data from PHP (I use the "sendAndLoad" method). The data sent by PHP is in an XML structure.
The problem here is that I need to have different channels working. I need to receive several different types of data.Do I create a set of LoadVars and XML variables for each type of data that I need to receive or do I simply use only the one set and use an ID variable to specify with which type of data I am working at the moment ?
I am trying to make buttons (or maybe they should be movie clips) on my menue to link to the correct frame (about me, faqs, ect...).

I have recently purchased a XML based template and need to make an existing XML link goto an internal menu page. I have been able to create buttons in the flash template itself using action script with no problems. In my site I have several buttons that say more, so in the XML document it has these internal links, asfunction:_root.more_click_func,1. So what I am trying to do is have thiese links goto the contact page, so I assumed it was simple as directing the asfunction to the internal menu which is 6 but it doe snot work.
asfunction: "6"
asfunction: contact

I am attempting to make a flash website, and have 5 buttons on my menu. I made 5 pages in a movieclip called "content". I want to know how I can link those buttons to go to those pages (actionscript and where to put it).
I have seen flash website templates, and see only ONE button, but when I looked at it in an .swf, it shows all buttons with their specific text label.
I am building a basic database website for my local community and everything is going fine until i try to add more script to control buttons on pages from the menu. The menu has 7 buttons which work, then on each of those pages is 6 more buttons. The first page works fine but when i add the code to the next page to control its buttons i get access of undefined prop. error and keeps playing through whole timeline. This is the code im using to control the buttons on pages from the menu.
View 9 RepliesI created a Menu with for Loops/addChild and TweenLite. But I have no clue how to tell flash to what page im going when I press one of the buttons.Because the specifications of the page can only be mentioned AFTER the onComplete function, because the content needs to be added AFTER the animation is finished.
View 14 RepliesI have a feeling this would be easy or has already been accomplished with someone who's good at AS3... I was customizing "xml magic pages" which I found online, and doing pretty well with my limited knowledge. BUT I need to have "previous" and "next" buttons, so users won't have to click each button (one section has 14 pages).
I learned how to name the dynamic buttons, but I still can't use that info to show that page (or ultimately the next or previous page). Magic pages is free and easily found online, but I could post the code here (or my code).
I suppose there has been such a topic already, but I cannot find it. I have been doing some XML menu (I have covered all the XML tutorials here on kirupa.com) and the code is doing just fine. I am using this one:
Code:
item_spacing = 100;
item_count = 0;[code]...
The menu builds without any problems. But, now comes the problematic part... I want to give those buttons in the menu the function to load .swf-s into the "loader_mc" which is on the main timeline. "loader_mc" is basically the place where I want my "movie1.swf" etc. to load into.I have been trying to figure it out by myself for two days now and I gave up. What can I do (what code to write) so that every button gets to load a different .swf into the "loader_mc"?
how to link the following on release code used when clicking a menu item such that it will open the required mc?
Code:
stop();
// Include MC Tween
#include "mc_tween2.as"

I have inserted a flash menu into the html pages in my website. I am using the same swf file and ebedding a variable name in each page eg. "menu.swf?x=about". I then use a conditional statement in the actionscript to determine which page i am on eg
else if (x == "about")
{
mc_menu.about._alpha = 50;

I'm making a menu system that uses sliding movie clips instead of separate pages - [URL]. But when you click on the 'study at UWS' button, the nested slider kind of goes nuts, until you press on of the side buttons.

I created a 3D carousel in CS5. It works wonderfully. For now, I have it set up so that if someone clicks one of the menu items, the output window say "commited suicide after being cyberbullied", what I want to do is either have different text (that shows in the window) for each of the eight menu items when clicked, or 8 different URL links for each of the menu items, when clicked.
