ActionScript 2.0 :: Load A New Txt File With Hyperlinks?
Aug 11, 2005
I am using MX 2004. I have an external text file loading text into a dynamic text box. I want to put a link in the text file, which when clicked, loads a new text file in place of itself.
I have created an e-card template for a record company. Most of the text and images are dynamically loaded into Flash file so that the client can change them for each individual band. The only problem is i have some pictures that need to link to the bands website which also needs to be changed by the client. Is there any way i can load hyperlinks into the Flash file?
I am using the carousel as a navigation bar for a website, but instead of opening a window inside of the carousel, I want it to just load a new page for each individual image. I know that this requires putting the links into the XML file which I have done, but I'm struggling with the actionscript
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 trying to load a swf file within another swf file and then load different swf files from buttons.This is the code I'm using, but I can't get any of the swf files to load.
var Xpos:Number = 0; var Ypos:Number = 0; var swf:MovieClip;[code]...........
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
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 have a banner ad that cycles back and forth between two ads, and am trying to set it up so that when the first ad is up (5 seconds or so) and the viewer clicks on it, it goes to one URL, and when it changes to the second ad and the viewer clicks, it takes them to a different URL.
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. I have enough knowledge in flash to be dangerous.
The site's main area is the 3D AS2(oldschool) carousel(Lee Brimelow model) and one of the icons, when clicked, adds the content to the cooresponding textbox like the tutorial. I want the names of the URL's to be hyperlinks. So in essense, one of the icons is a portfolio link area, where I have the content= text like this:
Code: Select all<icons>
<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="PORTFOLIO" content="Please, feel free to visit some of our projects around the web we've done for clients:[url]....
I obviouysly want the url's to link t that URL.This issue has not been directly answered from what research I have done today(ALL FREEGIN DAY!)
can someone just tell me the EASIEST way to make a text field or a buttohyperlink to another page on a site, a text anchor or another web site altogether?I don't know why Adobe has made this so un-intuitive and difficult. InDesign has a hyperlinks panel that makes it easy.I'm trying to modify a nav menu template that someone else created
I recently made a .swf file which is hosted here [URL] as you can see the hyperlinks work fine and go to the correct sites. My question and impass is that whenever I post this same file as a forum signature it works fine but when I click on the hyperlinks they don't bring up the websites they act like they are dead.
btw the hyperlinks are just Text that I changed to Dynamic text with urls.
My flash is incide an iframe. The problem is that the hyperlinks incide the flash are opening in a new window or incide the iframe.I want the link to load in the current window.
I need to add as many number of hyperlinks to a custom "pop-up". The properties for customised Pop-up are as follows:
A pop-up is a retangle shaped figure with BackgroundColour = #FFFFCC, Width=170 and Height= 275 respectively mentioned in Properties Window. Here, Pop-up is a MovieClip and its instance-name is"myPopup".
Now, i need to add text(which must act as hyperlinks, i.e., they must capture MouseEvent_CLICK event, should listen to the event and should produce response on clicking on the hyperlink) in vertical manner viz., the width,height and x-position should not change and only y-position for placing th text-field should change.
My code for creating a TextField with required width,height,x-pos and y-pos is as follows:
function createTextField(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):TextField { var result:TextField = new TextField();
I am creating a flash banner ad with 5 images that will rotate in view. How do I place a hyperlink with each image that apperas? Is that through image maping or anchor tags? or is it a type of script i need to write?
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.
I'm currently having a problem with hyperlinks in menu done in flash.Menu button hyperlinks work when www is added to browser address bar and do not work, when www is not addedI'm using following actionscript:
on (release) {getURL ("http://www.dione.ee/index.php?option=com_content& task=view&id=11&Itemi d=12", "_self");
I use a content management system [CMS] here at work so am to a certain extent restricted in terms of web design. In Dreamweaver I can easily create 'hotspots' on an image so there are hyperlinks all over it, however inserting this image in the CMS so that all the 'hotspots' work isn't possible (well I can't make it work). However, it is possible to embed Flash into the CMS by using appropriate code in an html portlet.
Consequently, if I have a .PNG image how do I convert that to a movie in Flash and then create lots of hyperlinks all over the image? If Flash is not the best way to do this, should I use Fireworks? In Fireworks I am able to add hotspots to an image, but when I save the image with the hotspots in my 'web folder' and view the url, the hotspots don't work. The onlt way I seem to be able to make the hotspots work in Fireworks is to save it as a .htm and then view that url, but obviously that is no good as I can't insert that as an image on a webpage in the CMS as it isn't an image
I've just begun to dabble in Flash and created a neat little project first up as an experiment, but now want to learn how to take it to the next level.
I watched this tutorial...

and am now wondering how I can hyperlink the main images?
Im have data retrieved from a API, there are hyperlinks within this data, so i want the hyperlinks to be 'clickable' I read up many ways of making a textfield clickable links but they all made you type in he specific link you want. I need it to be clickable if there is a link recieved from the data..
The swf files has many hyperlinks. And this swf files are downloaded from an external source. So cannot change its source code. My question is that from javascript, jquery be made that all the hyperlinks that appear in the swf be open in a different window also which starts with an http:// location
