ActionScript 2.0 :: Making Links Within An External Text Document?
Dec 31, 2003
About to pull out my hair...I've loaded an external text document into the dynamic text field fine, but am unable to make any html tags within that document work once it's up on the web. I'm trying to add links within the document.
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("firm_overview.txt");
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.overview;
};
Should i add something to this to enable the html tags to work??

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'm loading html formated text from an external txt file into a masked "createTextField", which was styled using an external CSS file. Everything is fine, except for one strange thing...any links at the beginning of my text file DON'T work...the links towards the bottom of my text file DO work.I have never ran into this problem before.So far, I'm totally stumped.Note: I have "a:hover" and "a:active" properties set via the CSS file.When I rollover the links that aren't working, the anchor rollover properties do change, so there is some recognition going on, but the mouse doesn't change to a hand

I understand loading external text into flash through actionscript to produce a quick way to modify text without modifying the flash movie. The problem is being able to create hyperlinks in the external text to navigate within the movie (website). So my question, Is there a way to load external text but with the ability to code links into words or phrases that point to instance names (frames) within the movie (website).
current method
create *.txt file
*.txt loads into .swf file
.swf is called from loader component on main movie.Or is this impossible and the text has to made within the main movie and edited through flash?

This is driving me insane, because I actually had it working once and now I can't do it.
I have a .txt file that contains:
Code:
&solutionslink=/solutions/index.hml
In my .fla, attached to my button I have the following:
Code:
on (release)
{
getURL(solutionslink);
}
But when I hit the link I get //webserver/undefined instead of //webserver/solutions.html
I've done a trace and I get "/solutions/index.html"

I am trying to add an html link inside a parapgraph of text that is loaded through an xml document. I have done some research and it appears I need to set my actionscript to read the html. When I add the href in the text it reads literally as the code instead of creating a hyperlink in the paragraph. My problem is I did not set up the original flash document and I anot sure where to add the htmlText=true; and so on.
Here is the link. The problem is in the "press" section. last line in the paragraph of text. You can see the aref code not working.

I have a bunch of menu windows that I've placed on separate frames (for example main menu is on frame 1, options menu on frame 2, chapters menu on frame 3, characters menu on frame 4, etc). On each menu there are a bunch of text links (movieclip instances), when clicked goes to another menu page. Some of these same links (same instance) are duplicated on multiple pages since they perform the same function. For example clicking the "backToMain" instance will go back to frame 1, which is main menu, regardless of which page it was clicked on.
Does anyone have an idea how I might build this? So far I've tried to add listeners to every single link, however since lots of links are on different frames other than frame 1, I can't add listeners to them until I tell actionscript to flip to that frame, which I don't want to do. I want to globally add listeners to all links all at once in the beginning:

I'm having trouble creating a popup window WITHIN my document... after googling, I've only come up with HTML pop-ups outside of the document.This is the only example I could find quickly... if you wait for the flash header to load and then click on the red brain, that's exactly what I'm looking for:To be honest, I don't even know where to begin, other than with a movie clip. However, I don't know how to tie the movie clip into the document without changing the background or anything

I have a Flash CS4 document and I am attempting to resize the stage to accomodate its current contents.When I do so, the stage becomes *much larger* than the apparent contents, and I am trying to figure out why. I have literally examined every frame of the animation, and selected every individual object to see if the selection bounds indicate a rogue "large object"...but none indicate this...what sort of things about the contents might cause this that I am missing?

I'm trying to create a Flash Carousel in AS2. I've made the Carousel itself, and have got the icon images and tooltips from an XML file using this code:
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code].....
I have functions for 'over', 'out', and 'released', and to move the carousel automatically, left or right depending on mouse position.
I was wondering if there was a way you could make each individual icon have an external link that leads to a different place on my website when you click on an icon, where I could specify the link url itself in the XML file?

In my timeline I have different link hot spots, so that each product will link to a separate web page (externally).I don't think this is going to work:When I upload the Flash file to a server to test, the links show me the 'pointing finger' icon, but when clicked upon it does not even open another web page attempting to follow the link. - that tells me this doesn't work!I need to get this correct for when the final goes live. What am I missing? Should I try the extension? (product01.asp)

I bought a flash template who uses this code for links in the header
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 2;
_parent.ti1.gotoAndStop(num);
_parent.ti2.gotoAndStop(num);
[Code].....
What I want is to be able to modify the page URL from an external file (xml or txt). I want just an external file, and here, on the AS of the button to modify just the line number of where to get the link from external file.
