I'm completely new to flash and have figured out most of the basic features on my own thus far, but I'm completely stumped with this one issue of linking a pdf to a button. I'm using Flash CS5. I've used the recommended code on code snippet, I've used codes that were recommended and I've tweaked it, but it still not opening my pdf. Here is the current code that I am using. This is from the code snippet. I've used this code to get my different scenes and it works, don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this.
AppPage_IndividualUSDoc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToNavigateToPDF_5);
function fl_ClickToNavigateToPDF_5(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("APP_IND_US.pdf"), "_blank");
}
i created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler); function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg")); trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.
I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest' I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.
I have an an array of objects. I populate the datagrid from the array. The nmber of columns in the datagrid is fix i.e.5 and the first column always shows serial number (0,1,2,3,4). I have a link button called 'CLEAR' in the last column of the datagrid.
1> How do I make the clear button visible only when the row is particularly clicked 2> When the clear button is clicked, how do I make the contents of that particular row cleared. Not deleted, only cleared to insert data again. Also, the serial number (0,1,2,3,4) should not be cleared, nor deleted. How to do this ?
I'm fairly new t flash and I'm pretty crap at it as I can't even get my button to link to a url, I've put the following code the the script for Scene 1 (the only scene(:
on (release) { getURL("http://www.bbc.co.uk/"); }
But I just get 1087: Syntax error and if I preview it there is no link. If you need the file you can download it here: [URL]
I bought a flash template last week and have more or less being able to modify it to the way I wanted, its 95% done & I've had to make a couple sacrifices due to my lack of flash knowledge.
The blog on the website is now on a subdomain (I'm using wordpress for the blog), I also had a registration email form on my current site which is now gonna be on a seperate html subdomain too.
My problem is that I have one page on the flash template that I wanted to use for the blog but as that's not easily done. Instead of using the button to open an empty page, is there anyway I can redirect it to the Blog on the subdomain & open it in a blank window/tab?

Like so: ive made a pretty simple and nice layout i plan to use for all pages with some images an so on .Now ive made lots of buttons wich all opens in a timeline nice and slow (not to slow). On the index page i have a menu called "treatments" wich requir some room. I want to make a button called "treatments" wich can open and collaps to 3-4 minor buttons wich then again can link to diffrent pages describing different treatments. Now i need the treatment button to open up the 3-4 minor buttons one by one smooth(tweened with the alpha slider) with same frame rate as the other ones on the page and collaps again.
I am definitely new at AS3 and Flash in general, but I have to do a project for work that requires me to build a portion of a website in Flash. I need to link a button to a PDF document that will be stored on our site on the internet. So far I have been able to successfully write code that allows me to link one of the buttons[code]...
I have an object on the stage (with an instance called mcBlackboard) that contains two buttons.I'm trying to make these buttons link to pages on my site but I get the following error(s):1120: Access of undefined property buttonAboutUs1120: Access of undefined property buttonFAQsMy guess is that it's not finding the buttons in the movieclip (since the script worked fine when the objects were on the stage).I may have done things in an odd way, but it's the result of days trying to figure this out mysel
Code: function myButton(button:MovieClip,url:String) { var buttonPath = "mcBlackboard." + button;
I am trying to modify a template that I have:There are 6 menu buttons on the top, they have rollover animation effects, as well as animation click effects. It did not come scripted with the action of which page to load when you click on them. The way the template was written, it uses the same script for all the buttons. What should I stick into cause it to load different webpages, (index, index1, etc..) based on which menu button it is over the current script for the buttons are as follows:This is on a sprite, not a button object.There are multiple menu buttons of the same sprite. (each one just changes the num = ___) For Example:
PHP Code: onClipEvent (load){num = 2;}
And I believe they refer to the following sprite:
PHP Code: on (rollOver){if (_root.link != _parent.num) _parent.gotoAndPlay("s1"); } // end if}on

How does one link a button to an email address? So in otherwords, once you click a button, your email application opens, ready to compose a message to the assigned address.
i'm using flash cs3.i was using flash 8.i used to just put this code on a button, and worked, no problem.[code]now, i can't put code on a button... got some code on another site... seems i have to put code in an actions layer, and give the button an instance name![code]
I have got two flash files now, one called intro.swf and the other called egx.swf. I have a button on the intro file with an instance name of b1, which I want to open up the other file (the egx.swf file). I have tried several codes, but when I get it working, it loads up the homepage, but keeps the text and the button on the intro file up, which I need to get off. Basically I need to link the intro file and the egx file together through the button, and then need to get rid of the intro file from the stage.
I have been trying to add a link to an animated button. I have it as a symbol for button and within the button symbol I have another movie clip symbol for the mouse over it will animate. I am trying to add a link to the animated button but it won't allow me to add actionscript when I get into the button symbol for the UP, DOWN, OVER, HIT, but it will allow me to add actionscript when I am in the scene. I have tried a few different actionscripts in the scene but it seems there is always an error and the movie clip keeps repeating the movie when I have it only running once, but when I remove the hyperlink actionscript the movie over runs once like I want it to.
i recently developed my website and i decided to create buttons to link my site. The problem i'm having is that when i click on a button it's opening up a new tab in my browser.
I am building a website and the top navigation is in Flash. Each button links to a HTML page. My problem is that when each button is clicked it jumps to the wrong page and I can't figure out why as the URL links are correct. The buttons are movieclips if that makes any difference.[code]...
Im trying to make a button within a movie clip play another movie clip (within the same movie clip as the button) and go to the nextframe as well, is it even possible and if it is how?
