I learned a few years ago on Actionscript 2 and I'm finding Actionscript 3 very confusing. I figured out (through much searching) how to write up a working (in theory) hyperlink script. When I open it up in preview mode, the link goes through (very slowly and doesn't come up in my default browser, but it works). When I try to work the link in Internet Explorer or Chrome (haven't tried firefox) nothing happens.
View 7 RepliesI am creating a Picture preview system, so far I have a movie clip with all of my images inside, a load of buttons that when pressed make the movie clip swap to the correct picture and stop there. All of this is fine, my issue is that I wantto place the Movie clip in question into a button, and depending on the particular frame the movie is showing, it will send the user to a different Website.

I have a few words written in static text mode which I have made a graphic symbol. On the timeline I have used both motion tween and classic tween to create a aplha change from 0% to 100%.I made sure I have enoough space on my timeline (10 frames).The aplha tween works fine in preview mode however when I export the swf the aplha tween is no longer working? I have tried breaking the text,restarting flash,restarting my computer and similar suggestions from other blogs such as:
I was able to solve this by checking the box "Use runtime bitmap caching" under Blend in the properties panel for the MovieClip in question.I am currently using Flash CS5 on a imac.

I have a TileList of image thumbnails that pulls its image location and caption info from a remote XML file. when you click on a thumb it displays a larger image and changes when you click another image. it works perfectly inside Flash, but when i publish the images, xml, and swf, everything works except the thumbs do not display, and clicking an empty cell doesn't bring up the larger image. i first thought that maybe my xml file was in the wrong place, but since i am still getting 12 empty cells (12 images listed in the xml), i'm questioning whether its my xml code or my as3 code. getting no errors from flash because the entire swf functions as intended locally.
my xml file and images folder reside in the same folder as the swf on my website.
my xml code and as3 code are below:
BEGIN XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<image caption="Steve" url="images/web/DSC01921.jpg" thumburl="images/thumb/DSC01921.jpg"/>

I am writing to a text file via FileStream, and it writes just fine when I do a publish preview (control + Enter), but when I publish it as a projector and run the exe, it does not work.
My publish settings are set to

Script: ActionScript 3.0
I have a flash project that I have been working on for a while, today its stopped functioning properly. To be clear. It still runs JUST FINE when I preview it (CTRL+ENTER), but when I publish the file and run the SWF file, or the HTML file the movie no longer functions properly. Specifically any ActionScript from the main timeline seems to no longer be functioning. ActionScript contained within movie clips continues to function properly, but nothing else.There is about 400 lines of code right now (variables, functions etc.)

View 9 RepliesI'm having some trouble with getURL (I think). It works fine when I preview with Flash's html preview but it's not working on my server. It's pretty simple. [URL].selected1 is a user-defined variable pointing to a page: ie, when the user selects variable page1 the page to be opened is [URL]. Like I said, it works with Flash's preview, but not on my server(no 404 or any response). Does there seem to be a problem with my code or might I be overlooking a server error? Here's my code:

I have a movie clip (with instance name rectangle_mc) on the stage. Within this movie clip there are two separation animations on the timeline. The ROLL_OVER animation starts on frame "over" and the MOUSE_OUT animation starts on frame "off." If I roll over the movie clip, the initial animation plays, and when I mouse out the other animation plays to restore it to it's initial state. However, once the rollover animation has played once, it will not play again when I roll over it again, but for some reason the MOUSE_OUT plays every time.

I would usually would us a renderer to do this, but in this case the columns i need to have hyperlinked will not have values in it until a "calculate button" is clicked.

So there are three menu buttons, and the page flys in animations depending on the button pushed.I have another button named LINK, and I thought it would just be a matter of inserting the following code somewhere:
LINK.onRelease=function(){ getURL("http:url....); }
But no matter where I put it, it just makes my site play through all the animations one after the other regardless of whether buttons have been clicked or not, and the link won't work.Where should I put this code and is it correct? Also, once it's working, I want to copy it and make another button for creating an email.Is that just a matter of having a mailto: link instead of a hyperlink?
