I'm building a site to showcase various engagement tools for the web. Most of what is involved is new to me. My biggest challenge is finding the right AS3 code to make buttons link to URLs. when I try to duplicate it and change the btn name, in order to make two, or three or four separate links to four unique buttons I get an error about trying to call the same function more than once. This is her code and as I said it works for one button link. Can it be made to work for multiple instances?
inv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com")); trace("I'm clicked");}
Right now all of my links use the Properties text link feature, which continues to deliver target=blank function despite my having deleted the target and saved and republished way more than once.
[URL]
I have 6 buttons, for some reason only the first button(my_home) works
my_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked1);
function myBtnClicked1(e:MouseEvent):void {var url:String = "http://www.weedwarriors.co.uk/";var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
[Code].....
Right now I have a static way that I set the url's to 5 buttons, here's a sample of what I am doing:
Object(root).grid_slider.links.twitter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToTwitter);
Object(root).grid_slider.links.facebook.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToFacebook);
function fl_ClickToGoToFacebook(event:MouseEvent):void[code]......
I have everything working fine but I have been asked that the url's are loaded from a xml file instead of static. Not quite sure where to go from here..I've read how to read from xml but do I need to set the values in global variables?
we have a project that will be using a flash based 'flip book' to display approximately 3000 products.
The issue is that there needs to be a button placed on each product that will link to the main website.
With out publishing 3000 buttons with different actionscripted links, is there a more automated way to do this?
i have followed the complex button tutorial today to design a websites buttons..
I wanted each button to link to a seperate frame for each seperate page of the site.
The roll out effect is all in one movieclip, with the actions on frame one (below)
//stop(); this.onEnterFrame = function(){
[Code]....
but I have had no success, it works perfectly for URL's typically!
I have buttons that need to perform multiple functions: On rollover, they send their link to the browser's status bar. On roll out they clear the status bar. On press they send tracking code to the html. And on release they send getURL with the link. I've put in some variables so that I don't need to copy the links over and over, but I'd really like to streamline button functions so that I don't need to make a whole new set of onRollover onRollout onPress onRelease functions for each and every link. how to simplify button functions so that they can work for any button.
Code:
//IMPORT THE JAVASCRIPT EXTERNAL
import flash.external.*;
//THE FUNCTION THAT WILL CALL THE JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION IN THE HEAD OF THE HTML DOC
function jsStatus(link) {
// The name of a JavaScript function to call
//IN QUOTES, IN THIS CASE callStatusBar

View 8 RepliesI have a flash movie with some buttons created through action script. Currently the button links are going inside the flash menu, starting an animation. I need them to go to web folder, but I don't know how to do it.
This is the part for the button action :
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
_root.page = this._parent.item_no + 1;
_root.play();
};
It creates 8 buttons. I tried this:
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
};
When I do this, publish and click on any button, it opens both links. How can I assign for each button, a link? Here's the whole code for the button generation and linking :
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
flashmo_logo._visible = false;
flashmo_logo._y = 300;
menu_item_group.menu_item._visible = false;

View 5 RepliesI followed Lee's video tutorial titled "ActionScript 3 XML Basics" to create a RSS Reader.It's awesome but I'd like to be able to have a button that uses the links from the XML to go to a site and read the whole story from the feed. If the Text Area component can be used to link to the whole story I'm ok with that too. I just can't figure out what code I need to use. Obviously it's AS3 and I'm using CS3.Here's the code that I have (it's straight from Lee's Video):
Code: Select allvar loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

Trying to make a button that links to a image in a local directory, but am having no luck.

View 4 RepliesI've gone through an mp3 tutorial series and modified the final result for what i'm looking for. one thing i would like though is to be able to add another attribute in for a clickable button that links to another page that would have lyrics. so my xml would look like this i believe or something close <song name ="Test Track 4" band ="Band4" file="test4.mp3" lyrics="testlyrics.html" /> basically so it adds another button in after the track listing so you can click and view the lyrics that would be on a separate page. I don't quite understand how it all draws together in flash actionscript and how to put the lyrics attribute on another button.
View 5 Repliesi created a flash slideshow with pictures of events and link each picture with its own event (ie. each pictures has its own links to the website). I created the fade in and fade out effect using the class motion tween. With the link, I created a layer with a button that has alpha= 0 (so the user don't see it) and then I used code snippet to make another layer with the action script "click to go to url."
When the slideshow goes to the last picture I made it fade out and the first picture of the slideshow would show up and then the slideshow would replay itself (by default?). My goal is to make a continuous slideshow.
When I tested the swf file, the first time it runs, everything is right. The urls and the pictures are in correct order. However when the slideshow replays itself automatically, I notice that the links are incorrect. In the first play, when I click the picture of the event it would open the url of that event.However when the sldieshow replays, clicking the pictures would only open the url of the first event picture. When I click on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.pictures the browser opens only the link of the first picture of the slideshow.
code for disabling and redirecting links in the HTMLLoader:
Code:
import flash.html.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
I know I can make an array if all the buttons would have a unified code executable change, i.e. they would become larger and brighter.
My problem is that each button represents an product image in the lights off stage, then of rollover it is a lights on stage so I have to import two images in the on and off stage and play around with the opacity.Additional problem is that each button has to ling to a different label.
My question is: is it possible to unify the code if buttons have that much individuality or I have to make each one of them as in the example below.
// makes a hand cursor appear over a mc acting as a button for all the buttons inside the scrollpnaeBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btns_mc.
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.buttonMode = true;
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.useHandCursor = true;

I'm writing some code in Flash MX 2004 and everything works fine except for the last button (4DSystemsProducts).According to the coding if none of the drop down buttons work it should go to products.php, but for some reason it goes to 4DSystemsProducts.php. All of the other menus are coded the same way and work fine, if I take out that button it works fine,or if I take out button 7 and switch 4DSystems to button 7 everything works.Here is the code to clear up this explanation.
