I have an object on the stage (with an instance called mcBlackboard) that contains two buttons.
I'm trying to make these buttons link to pages on my site but I get the following error(s):
1120: Access of undefined property buttonAboutUs
1120: Access of undefined property buttonFAQs
My guess is that it's not finding the buttons in the movieclip (since the script worked fine when the objects were on the stage).[code]...
What is the Action Script code that makes me able to make a download link? I used "getURL" but this way user is forced to open the file, I want to make him able to download the file and save it to his hard disk. How I can make this? For Example, if the file was an audio file, I don't want it to open directly with the default player, I want to make user free to save it to his PC or play it online.

My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.

View 8 RepliesI have followed the tutorial by b.rich on Arrays and attachmovie to try and make a movie with a list of links. the MC that I attach dynamically has a AS 2.0 class attached to it to handle its rollover and rollout states. An invisible button in the MC (instance name lbutton) carries the AS for the link and sits on the topmost layer. My newbie brain just cannot get around two problems:
1. The links just wont work.
2. I have quite a long list of these. How do I fit them all in the MC (all my attempts show the links spilling out of a container MC and onto the main stage), make the MC scrollable and then put it on the stage?

I found a cool menu that I'd like to be able to use but right now I don't know how to make the buttons become functional links. If its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or...does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions. Below is the link where the example and files can be found. Be aware that if you try to use the actual files you will need an mc tween extension found at [URL].
Here is the XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<item nazov="button num 1 "load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 2" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 3" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 4" load="" image=""/>

I have tried to do those thing for couple of days( and nights), and every time some part of the code that i write in there does not work.I have tried to do Drop Down in animation (motion tween), i have also tried to do links, but i just dont get them work.
View 1 RepliesI'm making my website at the moment. I made a little mill which goes around, in there I made a movieclip which has two frames, one with links and one without. I made it so that if you are staying on it (rollover) it stops and you can click the links but the links don't work. this is the fla file:

How on earth do I get the HTML links inside a flash movie open up in the same browser window where said movie is embedded in (As opposed to opening up as a new pop-up windows)? Here is the code I have inside each of the buttons I have inside my flash movie:
var link7:URLRequest=new URLRequest("videos/december.html");
videos_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked7);
function buttonClicked7(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(link7);
}
create links in a dynamically loaded text box? I have a dynamic text box with this code (Flash MX/1.0):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("news_txt.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.newstext;
};
I followed this tutorial [URL] but I need to be able to make links within this text. I'd like to be able to add other HTML code to the text (bold, underline, etc.) but just being able to make hyperlinks from the .txt file would be great.
Im trying to make a projector movie that links to a pdf (in the same folder) on a CD that needs to run in both windows and mac. Im able to get it to work on a pc but not on mac. here is the code for the button i used in the projector.
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "manual1.bat");
and bat file open a pdf file.so i want to do the same thing for mac, that is using the fscommand to open up a pdf in acrobat. I read messages here that use applescript but i dont understand it too well so what id like to know if possible is the applescript, what it does and do i apply it to the button in my projector or do i tell the button to look at the applescript or what? I guess thats it for now.
Please go to [URL] and click on the photo gallery link. Then click on any other link. The photo gallery stays on the page! how I can make it go away when clicking on other links? The actionscript for the photo album is on the last frame in the actions layer.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a links box that reads data from a XML file and inturn generates all the buttons and when clicked on will open the specific page in a new browswer window.this is what I have so far: a box that reads the XML, makes individual buttons and a scroller to see all the links if there are more than what can be displayed. See example HERE. Here is the code for the actionscript...

"Instead of laboring many hours tracing a bitmap in Illustrator or Freehand, you can use a little known Flash tool to convert a bitmap into a vector - the Trace Bitmap Tool. There are two reasons you may prefer vector over bitmap in your flash movies. One: to achieve a cool look. Two: to lower your file size."
you put that text in a text field in flash but you will need to have links on the word flash and illustrator and freehand... how do you do the links? do you convert all the text to a graphic and then transform the works that you want in buttons??

I'm having a little trouble with my flash banner. When I click on my button, it opens the link I specified in a new window or new tab, like target _blank in HTML. I want it to open in the same window, so you're still navigating through the site. Here's my button's code: link_btn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.... goToURL5); function goToURL5(e:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("/forums/index.php "));}
View 4 RepliesI'd like to create a bunch of objects which the viewer can move around and, at any time, click on some text [within that object] to go to an external URL.
I can get objects to be moved around and can create URL request.I don't know how to combine the moveable object with an external link: for example, a black square with some white text - the whole thing can be moved and the white text is a link [to the web page].

I am new to Flash but am slowly teaching myself via [URL] etc I have an image that I have added to a website via a content management system and want to make certain areas of that image into links to other sites. I found this page that does the kind of thing I want to do, but it appears from looking at the source code that the person who has done this has cut the image up into several sections in order to fit it into a table: [URL] Is there a better way to achieve the same kind of effect using Flash by making ares of an image into links and keeping the image as a whole?
View 2 RepliesAnyone know of any good classes or functions that will do this? I've found some regexes but what I need is to pass the string to a method and have it return the same string, but with urls turned blue and turned into hyperlinks. Seems like a fairly common task, but I can't find anything.

When a user clicks on a URL, I want the new page to open up in a new window (or tab),instead of always in _self, which of course replaces the movie. I've trace'd the htmlText contents, and see TARGET="" where it's building the clickable links, which I assume the browsers interpret as the same thing as _self. Is there some better way to change the target for any URLs, short of doing a search and replace of the htmlText field
