I was following this nice tutorial on how to create a dock-like menu in Flash.I managed to add my own icons and to adapt height and length etc., but I did not manage to remove the grey bar in the back.And more important, to add a link to one of the items in the dock. I tried to make the icon a button, but that didn't really work.

I have arrays of dynamic text field that took data from an XML file from the database. Everything went well, except for the part that, when I insert a <a> </a> tag inside the XML file, the dynamic text alignment and lines went all weird. I wonder what's the problem with that...
Here's the XML code (I change the content):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<newsUpdate>
<entry>

I am trying to generate a list of links via xml using as3. I have created a movie linkHolder and a text field called linkText.
I then add link text to linkHolder and add linkHolder to the stage. I have an eventListener attached to linkHOlder which calls a function and when I roll over the links it activates the function correctly.
How do I give a unique id or reference to each button so that I can pull up the correct link associated with it?
Here's some of my code:
Code:
function createVideoLinks():void{
for (var i:int=0; i<externalXML.videoClip.length();i++){
//build the arrays of link text and link destination
vidText[i]=externalXML.videoClip.vTitle[i];

I have to make a list every document linked in a multiple .fla files. I can pull them up doing a find for .pdf but I can't figure out how to copy the links from the results field. Each file links to 1000+ pdfs, so i'd like to avoid doing this one at a time. Is there a way to export the results of the find function to a .xml or .txt file?

and i was just wondering what kind of function would I need to make each one of the images clickable AND go to separate url's. I figured out that I would NEED a function and a separate array that would link up the URL's to the Images but I don't know how to really make the images clickable in the first place.
I was wondering what the best practice was for creating text links in flash? I know how to create a button of course, give it an up, over and hit state. What I normally do is copy the text into each frame, and change the colour for each so that the user can tell when they're hovering and hitting the button. For the hit status, I draw a square for the hit.
But this can be time consuming if you have a lot of text links throughout your site. Especially if you want to change the text colour of your over and hit frames.
So I looked into making a better solution using Actionscript, which was having a function for each of the status, where you change the colour of the button.
I was wondering if anyone else had any other thoughts or wanted to share how they do their text links?

Using AS3, how can I attach links to outbound websites? I have a button graphic dragged onto the timeline. It is meant to function much like a "hot spot". So, I would like to attach the script to the button so that it will link to another website when clicked upon. But where do I add the script in AS3, and what is that script to be? ~ For example, do I need to go into edit mode where I see the 4 states, or can I simply attach it to the main timeline? - I'm looking to do whatever's the simplest!
Also, the button is called myButton in my library...can I use that same button for everywhere I want to add an outbound link to different websites, or am I going to have to change the name for every different link? For example, myButton02, myButton03? I'm hoping to use the same graphic button, and hoping the timeline will understand and follow the script instead of being confused and all links wind up going to the same site.

I've been given a bunch of .swf (about 100) that I need to link together. Rather than doing it manually, old-school style, I decided to write a document class that will sort the content, animate transitions and create links automatically. The basic idea is that all content on the stage conforms to a naming convention whereby all buttons are prefixed with "btn_" + nameofswf.swf - the code recognises this and adds event listeners. The background image is simply called "background". I might add some further functionality later for rollovers, depending on what I need. As a frame script, the code works perfectly - it's when I converted into a class the fun begins.
The code:
package hair {
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.motion.easing.*;
import flash.events.*;

I was wondering how do I make a link to a new page from a page that has already been played onto the stage. The pages are made from movie clips, and the buttons are also movieclips. So for example, I click on about us from the menu bar, and the page animates on, and within that page is another link to go to another page. I just cannot get it to work. All the pages that I have are made from movie clips.
View 9 RepliesI've been playing with an xml feed for a semi-useful class (which I'll post when it's done)....but I've run into a small problem.The XML feed doesn't send me HTML content, it only sends text. So a node that should read.Url...So I need to work out some way of recreating these links from a text only feed. Before I give myself a headache and attempt to create a class that searches each line of text for "http://" and then searches for the next space in the text, does anyone know if this has already been done? Is there a class out there that can look at normal text and convert bits that are web addresses into links? If not, can anyone think of a more efficient way to do it than searching the text for "http://" and then looking for the next space?
View 7 RepliesI'm working on this flash game right now and I need to implement a simple players database...
It needs to be both read and writable . Meaning, when the player register to save his character information , he needs to key in his email and a password and create an account. The account shall store that player's life amount, ammunition etc . All the infos are stored on an external file and retrieved again when the player logins to the game with the email as his login ID. Security issues are not the biggest concern here because its not exactly meant to be an online game and I don't think hacking would be something I need to worry about ^^'''
I've tried Xml with AS, but I realised that, that alone canot allow me to write the player's info into the xml file.

View 3 RepliesI've been developing a Flash cd-rom for a client, and a particular page in the movie has an "press room" that will contain links to images and pdf's located on the cd-rom itself. I'm familiar with creating buttons, and set up a link like this on the button.
Code: Select allon(release){
getURL("images/feat_prct.png");
}
Obviously, it's a pretty simple link that brings the image up in the browser. That's great and all, but I'd really like it to bring up the option to save the image somewhere. I know that a reasonably smart person could just click on it in the browser and either pull it to the desktop or "save as", but I'd like to eliminate that step for them. I'd also like to be able to create buttons that link to pdf files in the same way.
