ActionScript 3.0 :: Linking To Web From Flash Movie?
Feb 18, 2009
I have a flash movie that i embedded into a webpage. I have it set up to have three symbols come in then another that says enter. When i click this i want everything to disappear and then go to another webpage. This is my code i have everything working but i dont know how to link out of the movie. This is my code: (The mouse click function is at the very bottem)
Im sure that i did this a long way but i just got Flash CS4 like 2 days ago so w/e. Anyway could someone tell me how to link out of the page AFTER everything has faded out. how to/link me to how to have a mouse over effect on the enter button. Just something like having it increase in size.
I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).
Basically, I have adrop down menu, which contains about 20 buttons. Each button is set to _root.Keys_MC.gotoAndPlay("frame label"); a specific from within the Keys_MC which is on the main timeline.
The problem is, no matter which one I click, it always links me to the first frame of that movie clip.
i have created a navigation bar for my website and i need to add a url to the movie clip, it has roll over and roll out but when i put the url on it cuts out the roll over and roll outs.. what do i do?
im using the coding...
on (rollOver) {_root.home.gotoAndPlay(2) } on (rollOut) {_root.home.gotoAndPlay(1) }
I want my movie to go to a specific location on the basis of whether or not a variable is attached to the swf reference. Kind of trying to control it from the outside...so I've written this in my embed code:
I was wandering if it is possible to link from a frame inside "movie clip A" to a frame inside "movie clip B"? Both movie clips are on the main timeline.
If you know how to do this, or don't know how to do it but know that it is possible, let me know.
I have an intro movie for my website, I know how to make it load another URL after it has played but how do I get it to load another swf. I know there is an easy answer that is escaping me.
I have a swf that uses the following code to go to different sections in a movie timeline:
Code: //This is the script for the main tab menu. contents.stop(); numberOfTabs = 8;
[Code]....
So basically if someone clicked on the tab with an instance name of tab6 it would take you to frame 6 in the movie clip with the instance name of "contents". What I want to do is be able to have a button (that is on a different swf) when clicked would go to this swf and then would go to the frame inside the movie with the instance name of "contents", (so for example you click on the button and it goes to frame 6 in the movie clip) but how to write the AS to tell the button to go to that specific frame inside the movie clip.
I have about 12 SWF files that I need to play as one swf file
Heres were i'm at right now. Opened new file. Imported each swf file into the library. in one layer I have 12 keyframes each with one of the swf files in it. I need the swf to play through then go to the next keyframe and play that movie and so on.
I guess the question is I'm not sure where to put the actions (on each of the keyframes or in the swf file or both) and I'm not sure what actions need to be used.
Trying to create a link from an html page to the contact section of a flash website. I understand how to link to a specific frame by creating an anchor over the target frame, but it only works if its in a single movie. The problem is that the section I want to target is on a deeply nested movie which the main movie loads such as
Code: loadMovieNum("images/topback.swf", 8);
Instead of the html code looking like this "index.html#contact" for a single movie what would a nested link code look like?
I am wondering how/if I can link to an external URL within a movie clip. It is easy to create a link that functions within my site, but I am having trouble linking to an independent site.
.I've downloaded a template, which I'm modifying to get working the way I want. You can see how far I've got by going to URL... My question is regarding the 'About' page, where on the right hand side you'll see a pull down menu, with two images on it. The first (says Myrtletown Films) loads and links correctly - The second doesn't link correctly.I'm almost certain its a coding linking issue - As if I were to load the same movieclip as the first one (only telling it to load image2, it loads fine - but then wont link to a separate location).Ok, its starting to get confusing; so here's the FLA. When you open the FLA don't go looking around for bits and pieces. Everything you need will be in the 'action_ content' movie clip. You will find both instances of the images (which are labelled 'Previous_Work_Item_1a' etc)[code]The first image is linked to page '6', the second image (which is failing to load) is linked to page '7'. What's confusing is that Previous_Work_Item2a/b/c are just duplicates of Previous_Work_Item_1a/b/c
I am a novice actionscripter having trouble linking my combo box to the relevent scenes in the same movie, I am using Flash 6 and the script I am using is;
This loads a new movie clip of a simple slideshow which has 7 frames. You can click through these frames with left and right buttons.
I no longer need the left and right buttons. I need a group of 7 buttons sitting under the "Recent Projects" link which each link to a different frame of the recentProjectsBody_mc movie clip.
I assume I need to load this movie clip before I link to a frame within it. But then how do I link to a specific frame within that movie clip?
I wanted to know how to link Button within a movie clip linking to Frame Label?I am using Action-script 3.0

the project im working on is all database driven, there are no html files and all coding that is created is made by php then stored within a db to be called later on. now because of this i can't use relative links at all with anything i.e. images, videos and swf files.
so.....i am using swfobject to link to a swf file using absolute linking as shown in the coding below. but what i need to do now is link an .as file in my swf using absolute linking so i can call some arrays from the file.i have doubled checked to make sure my vars can be passed by local testing and it works but now i need it as absolute....is this possible?
I have a flash movie with 3 buttons I am trying to link relativley to pages within my site, I have one working fine but can't get the others to link and when I try it makes the one that is working, work no more..

import flash.events.MouseEvent;var getIndex:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.html"); //---Enter Button---\
I'm still a newbie at this, so pleasse bear with me. I have a links page on a website for myself. I wish to create a link from a hidden button over the text to a pdf file within the project folder. I keep getting errors saying that it cant find the file and points to an address which is totally wrong.[code]Is this the right way to link a pdf file to flash?Is there some other code I should be using?
I'm working with Flash CS4 / ActionScript 3.0I just wanted to know how to link my finished flash ad to its corresponding webpage.-->Click anywhere on the banner and it links you to...youtube or whatever :]
Project is a map of Europe - in Flash 8, with an xml document linked to it. for each country (or group of countries, where they need to be grouped together), there is going to be ultimately a URL link which displays a relevant article. The xml document needs to 'tell' the flash file there is an article - with the default being that there isn't (if that makes sense) - if and when there IS a story, that country needs to change to a button, which can be clicked by the user to open the article .. probably on a new page. thus far I think I need to have an xml document something like this (forgive my fumblings):
I'm creating an interactive flash tutorial for kids teaching them about healthy eating. Part of the tutorial involves them learning about different food groups, then playing different 'games' to test their knowledge.
I would like to incorporate a user login system, so the user logs in on the main menu, and then the system records which activities have been completed, and a score for each activity. This will update whenever they finish a game or achieve a score better than their previous attempts.
I found a gotoAndLearn.com tutorial but that was just retrieving stuff from a database and plugging it into an SWF. any suggestions / tutorials available on how I can achieve this 2 way interaction?
I am new to this. I have followed several tutorials with noluck. I am using action code 3. I want to link an invisible buttonto an url. I placed the code in the layer with the button.Thefollowing code I have used, but then follows the error message. Ican't figure it out.1180: Call to a possibly undefined method on.1120: Access of undefined property release1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.
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'm looking to call a flash method from a method in javascript and recieve a result:Example:Flash -

I have a project I'm trying to compile with alchemy. It will compile .o and .a files, but when trying to create a .swc, it will fail. It appears to crash with this error:
I was following this tutorial http:[url].... and I wanted to add links to pictures shown within the banner. So I've edited 'picture 1/2/3' in the library panel transforming them into movie clips, and then opened them in edit mode and added required actionscript. But when I publish/preview them, they're not linking. I'm getting a clickable mouse-cursor over my banner, bun nothing happens. What should I do to make it work ?This is the actual project :
http:[url]....and here's the code I'm adding : on (release) { getURL ("my link here","_blank"); }
basically I want to embed a SWF file on one site, and then I want to be able to send that code to people so they can easily embed the file on their site,however, when I tried this on a separate site, the embedded FLV didn't play
I created a Flash image gallery where you can scroll through small thumbnails and when you click on the thumb, the larger image appears inside a movieclip (instance "picture"). All the images are loaded in from an external XML file.
I want to know how to make it so that when the user click on the larger image that loads into the movielcip (instance "picture") it takes the user to another HTML page.
My Flash code is: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild;
