View 10 RepliesI'm using Windows 7, Flash CS5, Flash Player 9, ActionScript 3.0 I created a slideshow with links on a few of the slides. My problem is that the Hand Cursor doesn't always appear on the slide with a link, and sometimes appears on a slide without a link. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's the code I have in one of the slides with a link that doesn't show the hand cursor:
[Code]...
Here's the slideshow on my client's website:[URL] You'll see that the 1st slide should have a hand cursor since it has a link to it. The second slide (beading 101 ad) has a hand cursor but shouldn't since there's no code on it - no url on this one.
I have a dynamic text field which loads html. In the html there are links at various points. In the file I am using a custom cursor whenever the mouse is over the swf. The issue is that despite my setting Mouse.hide(), in Windows (FF and IE) the standard hand cursor shows over the top of my custom cursor when I hover over one of the links.
I know that the htmlText field only supports CSS1, so using any reference to the mouse in the CSS is futile. Additionally, due to the nature of the html going into the text field, I can never rightly guess where a link would physically be to set up some sort of work around. In all of my research, the only references to the problem refer to the Mac FF and Safari having bugs that prevent the hand cursor from being shown (to me this is counter intuitive, it seems that when Mouse.hide() is enacted that none of the system cursors should show, no?).
I'm trying to have a hand cursor over a movie clip that contains dynamic texts. I tried:

The problem is that this movie clip has a roll_over on the children, so when I put the second line of code my roll_over doesn't work anymore.

Program: Adobe Clash CS5.1Explanation:When you select a text field, under Options in the Properties there is the field "Link". Normally when you want to add a link you put the URL in a text box, then assign it a URL in the Properties...I am using a .xml file to pull up information, is there a code I can put in to the "Link" field in Properties to link to the URL that is entered by the .xml file?Example:The dynamic text field in flash displays the URL entered in the .xml, which is the URL for the Google homepage. The user clicks the link and it takes them to Google.
View 3 RepliesMy swf file is stored on the web server in say /images/swf/my_swf.swf
The web page I want to link to is stored in the same folder /images/swf/My_Page.htm
So if my_swf.swf is embedded in say Original.htm page in the /images/swf/ directory.
When the visitor to Original.htm Clicks on the Button_btn they will be linked to the My_Page.htm with the following code.
Code:
_root.Button_btn.onPress = function () {
getURL("My_Page.htm", "mainFrame");
}
I have to store the My_Page.htm and the my_swf.swf where they are but the Original.htm is else where and has a number of other .swf's on it. So now when the Vistor click on the Button_btn the link tries to find the My_page.htm in the root of the Original.htm. How can I make the link in the my_swf.swf force the link to read from the root of the swf rather than the Original.htm?
Here i got stuck with a prob... i think it's simple, but still im not clear...I need to link my dynamic text...That data is comming from an array...Is that possible to do.

Code:

I successfully load the xml into the stage,although the part <url= "http://www.google.com">Google</url> doesn't appear.Do I have to create a unique script in order that part of dynamic text to become a link?
I've got a flash calendar and if you click on a specific date it shows the event in a text box for that date. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to insert a linkable text into that event area. The flash file is associated with XML files for each month and also with an XML.AS file. The calendar (FlashGordon) can be downloaded here: [URL]Here is the code for the XML.AS file:
// XML LOADING FOR CALENDAR DATES AND IMAGE DISPLAYED
var xml:XML;
var displayImage:String;
var scope:MovieClip = this;
[code]....
If I insert a link inside the event line, for ex.: <event date="19" event="<a href="http://www.google.com/">Test</a>"/> the calendar won't show any events and obviously it's not working.how can I insert a linkable text in the event area of the calendar?
I am trying to create a hyperlink to an external website within a dynamic text field. Basically, I need it to work like this: My text will read, "Here is an example. Click here to see a larger version." I need the "click here" part to be a hyperlink. But since I already have all of this text within a dynamic text field, I can't figure out how to make that one part of the text a hyperlink. I've searched online for an answer to this but can only find information on how to create a hyperlink from the entire text field or to add a button hyperlink. I don't want to do these things.
View 4 RepliesI want to make link from a dynamic text(in flash project) to an external swf i created(a gallery that is controlled by xml file). This is the code of first frame of my fla project:

_root.link=1;
function linkgal() {
loadMovieNum("gal_car.swf", 1);

I'm pulling news information from an XML file. The root node is "article", the child nodes are (for example) "date", "title", "caption", "copy", "link", etc.
For each article, two new buttons are added to the stage.
1st button - on rollover, display the date & title for that article in a small movie clip w/ dynamic text fields.
2nd button - on click, display ALL nodes listed for that article in a large movie clip updating only the dyn text fields
What are some methods I can use to automate the process? That is, to avoid writing an if/else statement and some code to filter the XML properly for each and every article?
I need to somehow connect the XML content and the movie clips I add to the stage dynamically.
Is it common to write two ID attributes for each XML node? Unfortunately, each article isn't in sequence and older articles could be added even amongst the new ones... so a better "ID" would be the date of the article. Would that screw up automation?
I am trying to link to link several buttons to a dynamic text box.I am trying to populate the dynamic text box with specific data called from an external text file by each button.
In other words:
Button 1 ---> text file1----->Dynamic Text Box
Button 2 ---> text file2----->Dynamic Text Box
I have searched everywhere, but cannot seem to find anything specific.
Does anyone know of any tutorials I could try?
Here is the situation: I have an XML document which I rip through using a for Loop, and I place the data into an array. From there I tell the data where to go. I have an attribute in my XML called 'link' which contains a URL, now I want to spit that out into a separate textbox and have it also link to the given URL. I have the URL stored in the array just fine, and I can even spit the URL into the textfield, my only question is how to make it link instead of just being normal text?
I hope I explained this well, but the basic gist of it is I have everything working except for adding the hyperlink.
I think this is a relatively easy fix but I have looked around for the answer and have not been able to find it. I am using a dynamic scrollable html text box. I would like to add links. The only problem is that the double forward slashes (//) in http:[url]....makes the following text become a commment.I have a dynamic text box with an instance name of myText and in my AS layer I have:
Code:
myText.htmlText ="the text for this scrollable text box,
which is html formatted";
If I try to add a html link, obviously it doesn't work.The only workaround that I know of uses exteral .txt files.I would prefer to use those since I have not been able to get my scrolling bar with tweening to load properly with external .txt files.
I'm trying to get my dynamic link to open in a new centered window. The window opens fine, but it tries to display the url "url[p]" and not its correct dynamic link.
Here's my code:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open(url[p],'newwin','650,400,yes,center'); NewWindow.focus();");
}
I just made a flash news scroller where the news headlines are dynamic text and have different urls provided in the link section. But when I click on any of them, they all go to the first link only.
View 1 RepliesI 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 a text box that will be updated by my client. I want them to be able to include links in their text, but I really don't want to require my "not-so-computer-savy" client to have to remember to type this out everytime they need to add a link[code]...

Code:

View 1 RepliesI've been searching around the web for a very long time but I can't seem to find a good solution for this pickle:I have a dynamic textfield on AS3 and would like to add a tooltip to some words within the text. I already got the tooltip class, so the problem lies in fact on 'how to listen to mouse over events on specific texts inside a textfield'I've been trying to follow some methods from the livedocs but all I can get so far is a rectangle object of a single character using getCharIndexAtPoint and getCharBoundaries. It works if I just needed to add a tooltip to a single character (since it can detect which character I'm currently pointing at), but I need to search for actual words. It would be nice to have some sort of getMouseAt(text:String) but that doesn't seem to exist.
