We have a Flash banner on the home page and each slide has a link to some other page. Everything works fine, exept in IE.
Basically what happens is that if you click on the banner the first time, the link will work fine and bring you to the new page. However, if you go back to the home page again, then the banner does not even present a link anymore (it will still work fine as far as the banner rotation is concerned - just no more links)..

I'm working on a website which has advert banners which link to external pages.I've recently added the ability to have flash banners, but am stuck on how to make the banners link without editing the flash file.
The idea is that clients wanting to advertise on the site send a flash advert which is then linked to their site through the CMS, however unless the client embeds the link into the flash file, or add a flashvar parameter which can then pull in the info from the database, the flash banner doesn't link as it's seems not to link being surrounded by an <a> tag.
This is probably a well known thing, but this is my first time doing flash adverts, so I'm coming to it from a completely novice position.Is this something than anyone creating a flash advert would know about and instinctively do or will it need to be instructed to the client before hand, or is there a way to get it to be a link through html?

Im trying to link a flash banner but seem to be having trouble. I know I need to add the link within Flash on the button or actionscript of the button. I need help with the code. This is for linking a flash banner to a streaming service. I need to add this to the <head> tag: <SCRIPT language=javascriptsrc=" [URL] This is the code that would be used in normal HTML: <Ahref="javascript:callLTR='WECK';grptuner='';file ='';title='';ListenLive();"target=_self>Listen Live</A>

I purchased a flash website template and am in the process of editing my main.fla file. In order to get listed on an advertising website with a higher rating, I have to place a reciprocal link to them on my site. However, I cannot figure out how to place an html link/banner on my site for other businesses. If I paste the html code in a text box, all that shows up is the html code rather than the image and link it is meant to generate.

My client is complaining that the site that will be hosting her banner is refusing to add the forwarding link to her banner (that upon clicking will redirect to her website). I'd like to know how I can add this function to the Flash CS5 banner I have designed. Also, I have a clicktag on my banner if that makes a difference.

Is there a cross-browser solution available to give a flash banner an html link, without putting it into the flash itself? (i.e. the Flash has no clickable button in it). I tried giving the surrounding anchor tag a high z-index, but that did not work. I'm using the standard google swfobject to include the flash banner, but am not stuck on using that.

i have created some flash banners with a url embedded in them, so when they are placed on a web page the banner links through to my website when clicked. Fairly simple.But, i tested them on a website on my server to link to another website on the server and they worked fine. When i gave them to a client to embed on their own website (the flash files are hosted on my server still), the links no longer work.
Is this a security issue to stop the links working? i also checked it in linux and the banners worked, but in windows they do not. I dont want the client to have their own local copy of the flash file, as i may update it in the future and dont want to chase up lots of different copies everywhere.

I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way?

This is what I have so far. [URL]. My problem is trying to code the menu:
I've managed to get the services link to do what I'm after but that is because it is positioned straight after the opening animation in the timeline - that is to have the banner fade out and the bottom line drop down to allow room for the content. From the home page I want each of the links, when clicked, to fade out the banner and drop the banner line down......THEN.......if home is clicked from any of the other pages I want the banner line to move back up and the banner to resume (in my case this is frame 279)

I'm busy with making a XML banner in AS3. It worked so far with the following code:
Code:
Select allvar xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("private"));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....
And it worked! It bypassed all the browsers popup blockers, but it brought in some new problems. Every time the .swf loops. The addeventlistener adds a listener. So if the .swf loops 5 times it will open 5 windows when I will click it. I've tried to use removeeventlistener but with no success so far. In the code without the popup bypass this problem didn't occurred. Probably due the new URLRequest. But I don't know how to use this in the javascript. The other problem is the string of the link. For some reason javascript deletes parts of the link when there is an question mark in it. Example:
If the link is [URL]
The link what will open is: [URL]

It just reloads the animation instead of going to the html page the button is pointed to. I can give a link to it if you need.

[URL]
The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.

Also these buttons work fine in all browsers with wmode: opaque.Also there is drop down menu on top of the flash movie(a separate menu not included in the flash). In wmode: opaque dropdown part of the menu goes behind the Flash. In wmode: transparent that want happen.

I've done a banner ad for my client. The marketing company is kicking it back saying the clickTAG variable is not working. Below is the required code and specs. The attached Zip file has the ad. I'm a newbie to AS2, which is required for the ad.
Click Tags:All Flash banner ads are required to support the clickTAG variable. The clickTAG is the tracking code assigned by the publisher to an individual ad. It allows the publisher to register where the ad was displayed when it was clicked and helps ReachLocal evaluate the effectiveness of the banner creative.
On any click, Flash ads should redirect to the URL specified in the clickTAG argument; there should be no other redirection in between.The variable name must be reflected exactly as follows: clickTAG (upper-case TAG; no space between click and TAG; not click tag, Click Tag, or any other form).The Flash banner ad should contain the following code for the clickTAG parameter:
on (release) { if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") { getURL(clickTAG, "_blank"); }
}
The above code should be copied and pasted into the banner adïż½s code exactly
* as it appears above.The code should not specify the destination URL for the ad; this is a responsibility of ReachLocal.
*Additional Web Developer Information: Depending on the structure of your Flash ad, it may be necessary to prepend "_root." or "_level0." to the clickTAG above, resulting in "_root.clickTAG" or "_level0.clickTAG".

I'm trying create an expandable banner that when expands plays a video that has play, pause, mute buttons and a seek bar.
I've successfully created the video player and converted it to a symbol and it works when I copy it into other flash files so I know it's the banner that troublesome.
The problem is when I use it in the expanded part of the expandable banner I can't click on any of the buttons. I can see it's working as the video is playing and the seeker bar is moving. It's almost as if there's an invisible button over the top (the hand icon is visible) stopping me from hitting the buttons of the player.
The code for the expanding banner is very simple (see below)
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
