View 5 RepliesOk, this should be easy, I've done it before, but the code was in a different setup/format.
All I'm trying to do is have a text box display a link and then click on the link to go to the site.
Now, everything is working as far as display, but when I try to pass the targeted (clicked) link to navigateToURL, it is null.
Here is the partial loader code:
Code:
//format video description txt
var vidDescFont:Font = new VidDescFont();
var vdf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

In my main AS, I am using a MovieClip as a Container despite of the stage. In another AS file, I want to take the Container as a reference as well as addChild (such as bullets etc) to it, but I really don't know how to write the code.
If I only addChild in the current (sub)AS, it's working, but it's just a problem to removeChild.
i made a preloader, but apparently, the preloader doesn't put the external files "which are refered to through the XML" into count.as if it only gets the bytes of the flash file, it even finishes before the images are loaded, any ideas whats going on?
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
total = getBytesTotal();
}
[code]....
what i want is that the pre-loader understands that there are external files to be loaded too, so get their bytes and after you finish, go to and play "start"
