I have external JPEGs loading into a container. Can I do something to make those external JPEGs that load into the container have links so when they get clicked they go to a website? I'm using AS 2.
View 1 RepliesI've re done a couple of pages on my website and as a result of the new design have had to change some of the coding from being on the timeline to being in an external as document linked to my fla. This is significant only because I can link to external pdf.zips no problem on the timeline but I can't seem to translate the code to the external file. Can anyone out there help me out with this (hopefully) simply problem?I'm playing with different variations of this below but I'm constantly getting the 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method navigateToURL.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to link some text to an external web site. I am using the following code, but whenever I try to launch the external web site, I get prompted by Adobe Flash Player Security saying that it has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. It then tells me that I need to change my security settings in order to view the website. I am wondering if there is any way around stopping the security check, or is this built into Flash?

View 3 RepliesHow do I link from my dynamic txt box (html) to an external movieclip (popup). The only thing I found was a

What I need is a link/action from my html (AS2);

loadMovieNum("01_mymovie.swf", 9);
}
So, I can't remember and it's not working. I basically want to add this to my text file:
<a href="[URL]" target="_blank">Go here</a>
Which obviously doesn't work. what's the easiest way add HTML tags to a TXT file without changing the way the files being loaded too much?
var filename:String="text/home.txt";
var loaderText:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(filename);
function loadFile(filename:String):void {
myRequest.url=filename;
loaderText.load(myRequest);}
loadFile("text/press.txt");

I have purchased an image gallery program that works fine but I am struggling to make a very minor modification. I have asked the author for assistance but previous requests have met with no response so I am also asking my question here. This program has most of its logic in an external AS2 file. I have made some small changes to this file and want to save it under a new name. However, that would also require me to change the reference to the external AS2 file from within the fla file. That's where my problem lies. I can't find any code in the fla that contains such a reference.
If I try to publish an swf without this file in the required location it causes a compiler error thus proving that there must be a reference somewhere to that file. However, doing a search for this AS2 file in the 'current document' when viewing the fla file in Flash CS4 produces no results. Where else could this reference be hidden?

I purchased a TM AS2 Flash 8 / XML Template. I'm trying to figure out how to create a text link inside my XML content that can link back into the flash movie to a specific MOVIE/FRAME.
I've found where a XML text link can trigger a function (<a href="asfunction:_root.more_click_func,0">), but I can't seem to figure out how to simply go to a specific frame in the flash. I would think that this would be easy. ??? I don't need to do anything dynamic, except load the link exactly as presented in the XML file.
I am currently checking if something is true or false at an external link. What I want to do is, integrate a "failsafe" function, so if the external link should be down I'll display something special. I'm not sure how to do this, but what I had in mind was to define x amount of seconds and if nothing has been received by that time, terminate the call to the link and do something else.
What I currently have is:
ActionScript Code:
var loadContainer:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadContainer.onData = function(resp:String){
if(resp.indexOf("true")!=-1){
//true
} else {
//false
}}
loadContainer.load("[URL]")
I want to link this movie clip button I have in my flash header to go to an external site when clicked. I've tried EVERY combo, and watched every video....I'm exhausted. The code sitting in the actions on the movie clip seems like it all needs to stay there except for a link= part...so what do i add to it?
the code there now to start w/o the link part:
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 3;
this.hitArea = this.area;
}
Is there a way to load a link text from an external txt file into a dynamic text field of a flash file?

I have a main fla, which has some buttons on the stage. When you click on a button an external swf loads(using loadMovie method) inside container_mc which is an empty movieclip.
On that specific external swf, I have created an empty movieclip called content_mc which also loads external swfs.
Is it possible to call the content_mc from the main fla? For example when clicking a button of the main fla, how can I point to content_mc which is part of the external swf?
I am trying to load an image into a movieclip and a link for a button from a text file. How would I do this?The text file looks like this:
HTML Code:
&imageURL=http://www.domain.com/images/picture.jpg
&linkURL=http://www.domain.com/link.jpg
With a code like this or something?:
Code:
var photo:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
photo.load("photo_text.txt");
loadMovie("â„‘", carousel.photo.empty);
[code]...
but this didnt work.

View 3 RepliesI am totally clueless at Action Script. I have no idea how to implement it!
I have created a basic flash ad and I need to insert an action script so when a user clicks on the ad, it opens a new window to an external link.
What on earth do I need to do? I'm not having any luck with tutorials, I cant find a command sequence anywhere.
Do I need to make a Symbol or something?
