ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking Multiple Buttons To Different URLs In Flash CS3?
Oct 5, 2007
I have a small flash movie with three buttons I would like to link to three different URLs. My code for these is below, however, when I test the movie there is a namespace error (copied below). I assume this is because both buttons are trying to use the same variable but I have no idea how to make this work in AS3.
where i need to make changes so the code understand that "thisButton" should take the user to URL#1 and "thatButton" should take the user to URL#2?
This is for my own site and I have to use AS3 as there is an FLV on it as well which requires AS3 to be viewed.
FIRST BUTTON
//when they click the "light" button go to the www.site/About page
this.lightButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]....

I have started to take AS2 knowledge a bit further now and am working on a rss reader, i have multiple buttons which are loaded into the stage, what i would like to know is a) how do i create those arrays using their 'idenifier' and b) how do i link pressing those with the corresponding url in the urlArray?
what i then want to do is put the url which is loaded after a button has been pressed and put it as a variable which i can then load into
ActionScript Code:
rssFeed.load(/*urlGoesHere*/);

So, I have tons o' buttons that each need to link to unique URLs, and I'd like to minimize coding as much as possible. The code below works, but I will have to do this about 50 times.Can I associate the URLs with the instance names of the buttons and then reuse the same function?In the event you didn't already guess, I'm a newbie to AS3
cap_mc.CapTeam_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, capPage);
function capPage (evtObj:MouseEvent) { trace("clicked") var url:String = "http://www.mydomain.com"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

So this might be an easy but possibly a long answer, but I can't seem to find any good info on it anywhere. I'm trying to figure out how to have different sections of my flash site be linked to with different URLs. A good example of what I mean would be this site here: [URL] I'm not the biggest fan of the design but the functionality is great. It animates seamlessly between pages and each page has a separate URL. Is there an easy way to explain how this is accomplished?

I've gone through Kirupa's Photo Gallery tutorial and set it up to work on my site, it's here: [URL]
What I want is to be able to click on the big image after it's loaded, thus launching a new window leading you to that project's URL.
This gallery's [URL] images link to an external URL, that's what I want my big image to do. What do I need to add to my actionscript and XML file to do this?

I am creating a map of the US. I've created a button for each state and named each button with it's 2 letter state code (AL, AK, AR, etc) in the library. I would like for each button to link to a directory on the site with a similar name, /site/map/AL, for example.
Rather than set up each button individually with script like:
on (release) {
getURL("/site/map/AL", "_parent");
}
Is there a way to consolidate the 50 buttons in to a few lines of code? If the destination directory were to change in the future I would then only have to change a couple of lines of code instead of 50 instances. I'm thinking the name of the button could be read and passed in to the button function, but I'm no programmer and not familiar enough with Actionscript to know where to start.

Very strange thing has happened. I've had this site running fine for over a year, and recently I have discovered that the buttons that go to external URLs do not work.All of the buttons should be going to another .php file, and they have been until discovered yesterday that they do not.If you go to the .swf file directly, you will see that the navigation buttons take you to the correct .php files, but it becomes unclickable when it's in index.php.VERY strange... but then when you go back to index.php, and click the php active hyperlink "Gum Drops" at the bottom of the page, you'll get taken to the php page... and then all of a sudden the navigation, and all flash links to URLs work!

On one of the pages (In the site I'm designing) I have 4 buttons that need to link to 4 separate URLS. When I code one of the buttons, a link on another page is stopped.I guess what I'm asking is, what is the best way to 'layout' my button links in each page? And what is the best way to achieve 4 buttons with 4 different urls.

I've got a flash file loaded on more than 150 sites. The button in the file currently goes to a single URL, but we are developing individual URLs for the link for each site. How can I do this in one flash file? I don't want to create 150 flash files with different links. Can I variables or something?

I'm trying to figure out if we can use RSLs to contain common UI controls for our next project. I'm running into an organizational issue that I can't quite figure out - how to get the RSLs to work in both a local development/debugging environment, and on a production web environment, with the same exporting/importing URLs.
Here's what my setup would look like. Say I have a main application main.swf, an RSL lib.swf, and a UI module dialog.swf.
Main.swf loads or embeds dialog.swf. lib.swf exports some symbols that dialog.swf imports.
On a local development environment, these swfs are found in folders like so:
[URL]
Here is the problem. If I set the export/import url for symbols in lib.swf to "assets/lib/lib.swf" (relative to the location of main.swf), the runtime library gets loaded fine in the local environment. But in the web environment, it does not load - the player just shows the "..." graphic indicating it is trying to load.
Alternatively, I can use "http:/myapp.com/assets/lib/lib.swf" as the export/import url. Now, it will work in the web environment. However, in the local environment, dialog.swf will load symbols from the lib.swf that is out on the web, not the one that is local. But I need it to load from the local version, so that designers can muck about with the assets and see the results locally before publishing to the web.
Is there some alternative way to set up the swf's, or way to set the URLs, or some other hoop I can jump through that will make the RSL load properly in either environment without having to manually change URLs all the time?
(Details: I am using Flash Builder 4, CS 5, Action Script 3, Flash Player 10... No Flex! My example omits some details from my actual setup, such as the fact that we are using a preloader to load the main application, and a php script on the web page to start the preloader.)

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.

This is the code I have used:

btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
