How can I link .swf files together? I'm doing a flash mini game and I have 5 levels with different functions, difficulty etc (so 5 flash files). How can I link these levels together to be like a proper video game with exit - next - restart button, getting the bonus points at each level.
Very new to Flash using CS4, leopard. I made an animation in Flash not using script for an introduction page. I made the sections as another file, following a CS4 tutorial, using actionscript 3 for the buttons etc. How do I stitch these together so that the enter button on the non-script portion accesses the first page of the actionscript file? Also, what is the advantage to remaking the non-script file into action script. The swf file on the non-script file is 376 kb and the ationscript file swf is 404kb.
I am trying to external .pdf files to my flash file. What I want to do is have the user click a button on a given topic and it opens the .pdf in Acrobat. I know that it can be do because I did it in Actionscript 2.0, I just need to know what the code is in Actionscript 3.0.
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 am making a Flash portfolio. So far so good except for 1 issue that I've run up against. I have linked my separate .swf files together using the following script:[code]The files are linking, but the problem is that the files are opening on top of each other. In other words, the previous .swf file does not disappear as the new .swf file opens. It opens on top of the last one so the result is a messy layered mess. I thought that keeping the level at 2 would remedy this but no success.
I am new to flash as well as actionscript. I m using actionscript 3.0 and flash cs4. I have button "Music_btn" which i want to link to a HTML file which lies in C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopgindex.html. So, this I what I have tried
Music_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, music); function music(event:MouseEvent):void { var url:String="C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopgindex.html"; var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url); navigateToURL(req, '_blank'); }
Error Description: - 1120: Access of undefined property Music_btn. But of no use.
Why creating a text link to a .as hosted on my site creates a 404 error? If I change it to .txt it works fine but I'd really like the user to be able to open the file directly into Flash.
I have a movie that is going to be playing in our onLine Learning Site. I want to include a link to download a few documents, and I just don't know how to do that.I do Not KNOW what the complete HTTP url will be, just the directory path by that I mean, I know the files will be in "VideoFilesHighRes1.MOV" but I don't have access to the complete URL. This isnt a problem when it comes to loading other Flash objects (IE sounds, different clips etc) For some reason I didn't think the "getURL" request was valid in AS 3.0.....

Do you still have to use Flash wrappers like Zinc to be able to save files from a CD using a Flash projector. In the same way you would use Filereference.save?
I've got a DVD style project where I need to be able link to files such as PDFs, JPGs and WMVs giving the user the ability to save these to their local drive.

i made a video player with the xml playlist , it's a video channel indeed, it's embed swf in html. but my boss would like me to put a link on the web, when user click the link, it would directly play the specific video inside the video channel. is it possible to do it without server side script but javascript?
I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:
I have a datagrid with different types of columns, like I have checkboxes, combo boxes and text Inputs as the column types. Now I want one of the column type to a link, with the label "view". All the rows in that column are link with the same label "View" and on clicking it, I want a Pop up window to be opened?
I didn't know how to bring a link in the datagrid. So used the Text control to display the "View" label. Now If I click this item, "View" in the datagrid, I want the Pop up function, i.e.,defectCommentsPopUp() to be called.
i have created a flash animation for my homepage, i want to make part of that flash animation a "enter" button so when clicked would go to my page 2 on my website.
i have never done any script before and only used dreamweaver on a mac. is there an easy way to create this button to link to my next page and to stop my file to stop looping?
I've created a flash naviagation menu and currenlly my links will open a pop up window. I don't want this. I want it to open the link in the same window. Here is the code for one of the links:
var home:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html"); function homeDown(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(home,"_self");} button_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,homeDown);
I have created a small application which takes it's information from an xml file and displayes it in a news ticker which is a flash Flash AS2 application. tell me the correct way to format the link tag in the xml if there is a standard when wanting to state a target for the link? The xml file currently looks like:
So what I want to do is to be able to open the link in a taget=_blank window however adding that to the end of the url does not currently work.I have added a comma and also tried using a space, space and encompassing in quotes but none are working.
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 some files in my src directory, some are .class files (Java class files) and some are .properties files, when I create the Adobe air native installer these files are not included. Why is that? How can I work around that?
Also it excludes .mxml files, but that's good. I'm sure that's related, how to change what it includes or excludes?
