Aug 2, 2009
I have a nice Flash Carousel gallery and it fed from a n xml file. I am trying insert links to give an option to a reader to go an external website to read more about the given subject. I am new to actionscript, and all my trying and all my trying failed so far.Here is the script for this section:
xml.onLoad = function() {
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
//this counts the amunt of items listed in the xml document (numOfItems);

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?

I have Flash MX and I'm editing a Flash template that I downloaded. When I roll over what would be the button section in this template it is set up to be a link, but I don't know how to edit it and add the links I want. how I can get links added into this thing? I can send it to you if you want to see what I'm talking about first hand.

Ive got an AS3 XML gallery thats all working fine, but I would like to add links to each image. Ideally I need to be able to add fully qualified links to each image individually via the XML document. my actionscript looks like this:
// delay between slides
const TIMER_DELAY:int = 5000;
// fade time between slides
const FADE_TIME:int = 3;

many kudos for the xml photo slideshow. [URL]
How would someone go about getting the actionscript to look for another field in the xml file that had a Url link to a webpage for each image that would be activated by clicking on that particular image.

I'm not very good in as or flash, but I'm learning. What seems to be a problem with that 3D carousel is:I would like to add close button when you want to go back to carousel after you click on carousel element (but it doesn't work as I would like to). The problem is that when I click on my button it returns to carousel, but carousel doesn't spin and also the last clicked element it's out of position. What I did is I'm calling the function unReleased which is working perfectlly when you clicked on the carousel element.[code]

i just ran through the '3d carousel' tutorial i would like to do/add.
here are a few things i would like to add to this code below:
- Different colour panel containers, so somehow i would need to edit the attachMovie with a tint on the mc or maybe load in a another mc?
- Each mc to be clickable.
- A unique link for each items
- The rotating animation to only occur when the mouse is in actual flash movie, so once out of the active area the rotation from the mouse x position to stop.
Also i was aware that GotoAndPlay tutorials have a xml version of the tutorial that can import links/images/ descriptions but for this particular task i cannot have any external files, so it's all got to be within this one file.

i have followed a tutorial to build a flash craousel and have had no problems in building that. i wanted to add a html link to a section of the carousel but everything i have tried up to now has failed. All the information is passed through to the carousel from an xml file and everything works fine except for the link.
i have slightly modified the tutorial so i have an extra box on the information page which holds the web address for the site they are looking at in the portfolio. i have the address showing up but i cannot use the text as a link. the box that i am putting it in is a dynamic text box which has been set up with the following settings

My company recently contracted an outside web developer to create our new website. I have some experience with Flash, but not beyond basic timeline controls. I've been given the task to update the flash element that has a horizontal carousel. Inside, there's three series, each with 6 buttons. The controls are a left and right arrow button on either side. I added a new button into the series and moved each of the series so they no longer ovrlapped.The carousel should just rotate through continuously, but it returns to the start after 6 clicks. Please let me know if there is any other materials I need to provide. Did adding in another button change the positions in the code? If so, what do I need to do to fix it?

I am trying to change a version of the gotoandlearn carousel to add an additional image that appears along with the first image when it's clicked on. I can get the movie clip to appear/disappear properly, but I can't get the photo to pull from the XML file and appear in the movie clip. I've tried everything and what I think should work doesn't. Here is my XML file and action script code: ("the2nd" is the movie instance, "image2" is the photo in the XML file that needs to appear).
XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<icons>
<icon image="carouseldogs/icon1.jpg" image2="carouseldogs/icon1a.jpg"
tooltip="How we help"

I have added 2 text3D textfields for each plane that gets rendered via xml.Everything works fine, yet as more planes get added via xml the carousel slows down considerably.If I remove the text3D fields the carousel rotates very smooth and at normal speed. Is this just a limitation of text3D in Papervision3D or is there a way to optimize this better? Yes, smooth is set to false and images have been optimized.

I've stumbled across a very interesting tutorialBut, I've noticed a little detail. When you click on the big image of the finished example on the first page of tutorial, it acts like a link. When I have downloaded finished .fla source, links are nicely written in the images.xml file, but the links in the .fla file don't work.

I'd like to create a bunch of links in a text field.
There's no way to do this in the IDE as nearly as I can tell. One link per field.
I can do it in actionscript by parsing the text in the fields and comparing it to entries in an XML, finding the entries and then adding the links to the htmlText of the field. Is there any way to easily parse words taking punctuation into account? Of course I can use the split function, but that doesn't sort out periods, commas, and such.

I'm trying to modify Scotty's fantastic resizable XML gallery to add links to it. I've read through similar posts on this forum and I'm confused on a couple of issues. Firstly, the xml file provided, which I am using, places all fields in "" marks, whilst all examples given on this forum don't seem to do so.Perhaps more importantly, when i try, as recommended on similar posts, to place the link within CDATA tags the gallery stops showing any thumbnails, pictures or anything! I am confused. My XML file is as below, after editing the first image data to try and accomodate the link:[code]

I am trying to add clickable links to a dynamic text box that is being used by different buttons (every time you click a different button the information in the text field changes). I have the text bos set to render as html and I can add bold, etc. tags, but because of the " mark in an href tag, it's not taking it.

I am playing with the xml photo gallery tutorial and wanted to add the ability for users to click on a particular image and have it go to its own url.
This is what I have done so far:
in images.xml I have added a <link> child on the same node or level as <image> and <caption>
images.xml i.e.
Code:
<images>
<pic>
<image>image1.jpg</image>
[Code]....
It obviously does not work (the rest of the gallery does though) I created a dynamic movie clip and labeled it "link" and placed it on the stage as a bg element however I am pretty sure this is the wrong way to hyperlink the images and description.

I new to flash and I am trying to create a menu similar to the one in this tutorial: [URL] I was able to do so with no problems, but I would like the pages, or rectangles (content 1 movie clip, content 2 movie clip, etc) to also be hyperlinks to different pages. In other words, the user should be able to click on the big rectangles to get to other pages. I tried making them button symbols instead of movie clip symbols, but that broke the sliding menu- the rectangles no longer moved when buttons were clicked. I tried adding a getURL action to onRelease for the movie clips, but I get an error and from what I read, this cannot be done with Actionscript 2.

I am trying to do the following: I have a project file open in CS4. It currently has a background image which is locked. I want to include a menu with links/sublinks on the left side, a corporate video in the middle and another video on the right. The menu on the left (links/sublinks) simultaneously controls the other two videos. If the user clicks the 'stop' link, both videos stop. I would also like to include a scrubber, to control the video (play, pause, rewind, mute).
I am trying to do this in pieces - first get the video imported and playing, then create scrubber/playcontrols, then incorporate second video, and finally add the menu (links/sublinks). I have created sites with Flash, but this project has me baffled. I have spent months on it. As an example - I am struggling just to import the first video. Do I embed it? It seems as though each time I import the video, it does something different. I was told to embed it into the timeline (each frame of video would be on its own frame in the Timeline). This would alleviate AV synch issues, and allow me to control everything at once.

I want to incorporate a scrolling image banner into my website, and found a great tutorial on youtube which works well.I can't post a link unfortunately.It is a pretty basic image scroller that has a series of images scrolling across the screen in an infinite loop. Direction is controlled by mouse position (extreme left or right), and it will stop when the mouse is positioned over an image in the center area.Here's the code:
var myVar:Boolean;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(e:Event) :void[code]....
After trying to figure this out through forums such as this for days, it seems that my answer is to use XML (which I do not know, and which I think would require completely starting over).Is there any way to do this in AS3?
Again, I'm a novice user, but understand the basic animation tools of flash to feel comfortable using it as the platform to make this work. I'd like to be able to switch out images/links as necessary, and feel good about my ability to use flash to do that.

I'm trying to recreate a UI for an application that my company makes in order to create an in-depth training companion to the application. One of the features is a weird tree view that works quite different from any tree view component I've ever seen, so I decided to create my own version of it as the Flash AS2 Tree Component doesn't have the functionality, and I haven't found any Tree Component for sale or download that works like that either. At first glance it seems like a standard Tree, except that it behaves differently if you click on the icon for each node than if you click on the label.
Some labels are links, some nodes can have 2 different labels, each with their own link, and most nodes have a second label underneath the label next to the icon (these don't have events assigned to them; they're just a quick way to view information). So anyway, I set up an XML file with all the information that I need (the easy part), but populating the whole thing, making sure each subnode can properly exist within each parentnode while allowing me to open and close them has been a real challenge.
Basically, I decided to use a whole bunch of loops to go through the nodes in the XML, but my lack of experience in using them is kicking my rear end. Basically, I need some code that can evaluate all the nodes in the XML and sort them within the proper hierarchies and then create all the clips in the stage to add the mouse events for opening, closing, and handling the links (which do not direct to the same event as when the icon next to that link is clicked).

I currently have a movie where I have an icon (image) and a block of text as a clickable button (locked together) the button takes you to a specific urlActionScript
Code:
on(release){
geturl("[URL]");
}
What I need to do is replace the geturl with some script that will add an alert box with 2 options. I would like the box to have a title something like "Where would you like to go from here?" then two text links "Members Excel" (which will take them to members-excel-forum) and "Newsgroup Excel" (which will take them to newsgroup-excel-forum), like I said I have many more to add but once I have the code and a "How to" I should be able to adapt it.I will have to do this for each of the items (I'll have to unlock them first) there are 24 items in my movie (it looks like 12 as there is an icon and text locked together for each category) so I need to do this for 16 of them, I say Alert box as this won't be bothered by a pop up blocker. The Code [URL]

i 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.

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.
