I have modified simple photo gallery tutorial through XML at [URL] click on a thumb and an image scrolls in. Now I'm trying to add a link to the image - but can't get the url from the xml to the image.
Here's the XML-file (pics.xml)
[XML]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<images><image>
<pics>pics/utrechtmedia.jpg</pics>
<sites>sites/utrechtmedia.jpg</sites>

I'm trying to add a simple getURL script to a simple text button-- should be really simple, right? But when I select the instance of the button on the stage it says the current selection cannot have actions applied to it. This, despite the fact that I am able to open an old .fla that has the same type of button and it does have a getURL action applied. What gives?
Flash version 9.0 (CS3 Professional)
What I want to do is take the value of $MyState in the php code below..
PHP Code:
<?php
$MyState = $_GET['MyState'];
?>

I know that I need to do something with Loadvars, but all of the tutorials I've tried aren't working. how to get this php value into my flash file button's getURL?

View 6 RepliesI try to create a flash menu; where every button on the screen operates as a simple getUrl() link. Because of this, I have taken the following steps:- Create new document.- Create a symbol on the canvas.- convert is into a button Symbol- Double Click the button and adding events for up, down, over by clicking F6 on each frame.- back in scene one, I right click the button and open the Action panel- Adding the Script: "on release { getUrl('index.html'}- Press ctrl + enter to test the move ! ( index.html exists in the same folder as the flash file.)
View 1 RepliesI'm working with some XML-supplied data, with a variable number of elements. I'm using a loop to add instances of a symbol for each element via attachMovie. But something is preventing my URL action from getting properly assigned.
When I do this:
ActionScript Code:
itemY = 0;
urls = [];
[Code].....
They have been made following a tut from Flash_db.I have not been able to test the PHP script yet so no probs with that , but the problem lies in my Flash movie.
The submit button uses a getURL action, but Flash cannot seem to find the PHP file, even though they are in the same folder.
I would like to create a button in Flash with a getURL that can be easily edited by using an XML source.

I am trying to make a getURL() that doesn't utilize a button, at a certain frame in the timeline (after a movieclip). I understand that getURL() no longer exists in Actionscript 3 but if anyone can explain to me how to write an action that will allow me to open a URL in its _parent frame after a certain amount of time
without clicking.

View 6 RepliesI'm having a strange problem with getURL. in my flash file, i have two buttons one for an email link and another one for a site link here is the code

when i test it in flash (Ctr+enter) only the button linking to the site works, but the email button doesn't work. And when i preview it in html, only the the email button works, but the site button doesn't work.
I've been trying to get a bit of control over the "getURL" action. I want the window that pops up to be a particular size, centered and have the maximize button accessible (it always seems to be greyed-out).

I've tried a few of the components that are supposed to make this easy but, I haven't found one that works properly yet.
I have been searching Google trying to find a solution to my problem with no joy, so I thought I would post in here to try my luck.I have created a small movie which can be found here, [URL], the problem I have lays with the button at the top of the movie titled "Click Here to Create Your Canvas". I have 'Publish Previewed' in Flash and the button works fine - changing on mouseover and opening link, however when viewed in HTML the button changes as intended but the link does not open on release.

View 2 RepliesI have a .swf file containing a navigation bar and also an animation. I was going to use getURL on the nav buttons so that a different html page would launch onRelease. The animation in the swf file that contains the nav buttons plays as soon as the swf is loaded and there's also a movie clip in the file which continues its animation even after the file has loaded and played. As each of the nav buttons are pressed and the correct html page loads, I don't want the entire swf file to reload and therefore play the entire animation again as it did on the home page, but instead I just want it to appear as though it's already loaded but I do want the separate movie clip in the swf file to continue to play. Is there any way to make this happen?
Also, I wondered what code I'd need to make the current page nav button appear in a different state to all the other buttons to make a "you are here" effect.
if i wanted a flash button when clicked on to open a html page in a i-frame how would this be done? what would the script be for this particulare action?
View 6 RepliesI'm running macromedia flash mx, and I'm trying to make a linkable swf by following this procedure: I select the object and then convert it to symbol. Then I choose " button " Right click at the object---> actions ---->[+]--->browser/network ----> getURL. I type my url and choose 'self" target.
When I test movie the hand symbol appears at first, but when clicked it turns to arrow. Exactly the same happends when I appload the swf and of course there's no link ...

View 3 RepliesI've created a 'flashvars' tag in my embed code (aid=test), which I simply wish to add to the end a GetUrl statement, contained in within a button (which is on the first level of the flash movie). This is the code I've added to the button...
on (release) { getURL("http://www.platinumselect.com?id="+aid);}
But this doesnt seem to work!? Is there anything else I need to do?
