ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking A Button Within The Same Website?
May 13, 2010
I am creating a website in flash and I need help linking to internal pages. I have created mc's (movie clips) for each one of my pages and for pages within those pages, if you can understand that lol. The problem I am having is, linking from one mc to another.
Example: I am in my home page movie clip, and I have a "read more" button on one of the articles, when a user clicks on this button I want him to be redirected to the page that article is on.In my case, I am making a website that gives users information on Paris, France. On my home page I have an article that speaks about Napoleonic and I have created a "read more" button. The information on Napoleonic is on the landmarks page(which is its own movie clip) and inside the landmarks page is the Napoleonic page(also its own mc). When the user clicks on the "read more" button I want him to be redirected to the page thats in its own movie clip with the info.

I'm trying to adapt a tutorial I found on this website entitled Complex Button Rollover - Rollout Effects The effect I am trying to achieve is instead of linking the animation to a website I wan't to be able to navigate to another scene. The bit of the actions I've been changing in the downloaded fla is this,
Code:
this.onRelease = function(){ getURL("http://www.kirupa.com","_blank"); }
To this,
Code:
this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
But this doesn't seem to work when I click it just seems to refresh the animation. I have got Stop(); at the beginning of both scenes.

I am fairly new to flash and I have started to attempt to modify a template that I found online to make it my own. The thing that I am having problems with is the URL Links. There are 5 different clickable tabs on the header that I have, and when you edit it in flash cs4, each one is the same image when you edit it. The only way in which you can change what each one of them says is by editing them in the library. This isn't the problem. I want to link these tabs to different pages on my website. When I edit one of them, all of them change to the same url link. The file is too large for me to upload I think.

So I'm building a drop down menu, and I'm done, almost, all I need is to link everything. The tutorial uses action script:
on(release){
getURL("http://www.something.com",_blank)
}
so it works for me when I enter actual website (ie coldplay.com) BUT I'm trying to link everything from my computer, this to be more specific: F:ColdplayWebFinalcoldplay.html
But it DOESN't WORK and I spent so much time building everything. Is there any way to make it work?

I have created a flash website in cs4 using AS2. I have 2 layers in my time line, content and AS. I created scenes along the time line and labeled each scene "about" "contact" etc.Each scene is 10 frames long and has the stop action applied to it. The gotoAndPlay command is applied to each button within the scene and I have used the folowing action on the buttons to link the pages:on (release) {gotoAndPlay("scenename");}This does link the pages however if i hit any of the buttons twice, it directs me to the wrong page. For example if I hit the home button twice, it will direct me to the about page. Should I be targeting a frame within the scene also?

I am making a website purely on flash (actionscript 2.0), for a school project, and I have set up one frame for each page. I also made a drop down menu, but unfortuantely I can't link them to the actual pages, since the drop down menu is a movie clip, if I use an actionscript such as:[code]it goes to the 3rd frame in the movie clip and not the main scene.

I am having a problem linking an invisible button to a url. I have 3 invisible buttons that have an action script as follows:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler1);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHan dler3);
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mywebsite"));
[Code] .....
After I upload the files, I can see the hand icon when I mouse over them, but when I click on that spot nothing happens. I have two text links on the same page that do work. One is an email link and the other is a url link. I have check the button names to my code and they do match.

Here's my new question: What code I have to input in a button file in Flash, for that when I click it opens a site I've made, in a browser? I'm doing my website in Flash, and the other website I want to put the link was made in Dreamweaver. It's not hosted, it's in my pen, that's why I'm having problems with the code.

I have created seven buttons using Flash version 9 following a tutorial on this site [URL]. The buttons function the way they were designed, however, when I attempt to link them with a URL or a unpublished website file (eg. contact.html or index.html) the button brings up the "TextEdit" application on my Mac.
The action script 3 code that I am using:
btn_6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("contact.html"), "_same");}
I have even tried using action script 2 code after changing the publish settings to AS2:
btn_6.onRelease=function(){
getURL("[URL]", _same);}
The results are the same. When I test the buttons, they link to an application on my Mac. All of my buttons are on the same layer.

I have recently followed a Adobe Flash tutorial, which has helped me make MovieClip buttons which extend to the left when hovered over.
This tutorial can be found here: [URL]
An example and download link for the project is at the bottom of that page.
Everything on the tutorial went fine, but now I am trying to work out how to make these MovieClip buttons link to another URL.
What code do I need to do this, and where do I need to put it?

I've converted a graphic that i imported into a button. And put this action script on it to go to a certain scene.
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("2,1");
}
This button should make the movie go to scene 2, frame 1, but its just not workinBackground info:The first scene is jsut a short intro where a couple buttons finally come up in a keyframe. In the keyframe itself, I have a stop action so the main scene doesnt loop. And on each button I have the action that i wrote above, to go to certain scenes depending on which button i click. Am i totally setting this up wrong structurally? Do i need to put any kind of "Reset" action if i want to go back to a previous scene. Also, in each scene, I have a mouse hide and replace action, could this have anything to do with it?

I'm very new to Flash (using CS3). I created a button instance out of text but I don't know what to do next. I'd like for the button to link to a different place in the timeline of my website. Right now, when I click on the text link and go to actions, it says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it". I'malso not sure what the script should read and if all the script goes into one "actions" layer or separately. This is what I'd like for it to look like: [URL]
The button that I'm trying to create right now is the "print" button which would bring up the section with the clickable thumbnails that you see on top. It's my first time using flash. I already placed everything in the document. Should all the different links just be different places in the timeline? Sorry if this is a n00b question but I'm still trying to understand how flash works as a website (my previous experience is only web banners).

So the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.

Decided to stick with AS2.0, i've got buttons that are working great, linking to certain frames in my timeline etc. The only problem I'm having is after they have been clicked and gone to their respected frame, they remain clicked. This is my code for each button
[Code]...
Could this be something in my code or something in the timeline i've possibly done wrong?

This post has been edited to clarify, so that should explain the answer above.I am sure this topic has been covered a million times, but for the life of me, I have been searching the internet for hours trying to find a simple solution to this problem. I am using Flash Cs4 with actionscript 3 and flash player 10 for publish settings. I have a button that I want to open a new webpage. When the button is pressed, I want the window to open so the user can see the original webpage they were on before, and I dont want the original webpage to close. In other words, I want to open a new webpage without closing the original webpage, and allow the user to see both webpages, at the same time doing away with the back button. Is this possible? Here is the script I am using. It is placed on a seperate layer called actions. :
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://mycw3.eclinicalweb.com/cent/jsp/login.jsp"));
}
It does allow me to open the window seperately as long as I am testing the movie in Flash, but when I publish the movie and imbed in into a Dreamweaver Html document (Xhtml), you have to use the back button to go back to the original page. I know this might not be the best way to navigate but the person I am doing this page for wants it this way only.

I was ust wondering how I would go about linking a button to a keyword within a .jpg file, within a folder and making that .jpg appear within a window. The word that the button will search for will not be the full name of the .jpg, it will only be part of the .jpg file name.
