ActionScript 3.0 :: NavigateToURL Won't Open A Webpage
Mar 24, 2011
Let's say we create a button that when clicked should open browser window and go to google.com page. When you run your flash program in Flash Builder (with CTRL + ENTER command) it works just fine, but when you run the swf file alone (mouse double click) the web page won't open.
Here is the code, just paste it into frame 1 and see for yourself (let me know if this problem doesn't occur for you, it might be something with my Flash Builder CS4 settings...)[code]...

Newb here. I have a button that links to an external website. HEre is the code I have.[code]...
When a user clicks on this button, the browser opens a new window. How do I make the browser open the new page in the same window? I'm sure it is simple; I just don't know the code. Also, is this the easiest way to create a link? It sure requires a good bit of writing.

I've used localConnection to build 3 swfs that communicate with one another. Everything works smoothly until i open another browser tab with any flash website. And those websites were built by me so i know they don't contain any localConnections.
Why is this happening and is there anyway to prevent it?

I have an html website that displays still photographs contained in a swf built in flash. I refer in particular to the images in the rectangle window on the right. [URL]As you can see the swf starts with a % preloader. The images are fairly high resolution, 14 in total (each embedded into movie clips and not dynamically loaded)I just wish to know if there is a way of SPEEDING up the time it takes for the swf to load and open in the web page, to aid users with a slower connection.I understand that if my host server is reaonably fast (which I believe it is) then the problem lies with the users connection speed, but IS THERE ANY ADD ON ACCELERATOR or CODING I can apply from my side of things ?

They don't relly want to open and seem to open when the mouse moves out of the movies clip which is not how it's programmed:

PHP Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://localhost/SE/processimage.php");
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables ();
vars.awd = "awd";
[code]...
When I load that url the variable is sent using the GET method instead. It appears in the url in the browser and the browser shows an error first then "awd", meaning it worked for $_GET. I tried both req.methods and tried adding "_self" and "_blank" and also on different browsers. It still uses GET.

currently i have the main scene and within this scene i have a button with the value bg_src Also in the scene is a movieclip containing several frames, each frame with a different image and stop();, a different button simply tells this movieclip to go to the next frame, the last frame in that movieclip returns it to the first frame, so it will continuously loop through the images when the button is clicked, one image at a time.
Problem i am having is that i want the button with the value bg_src to link to the original source of the background images when it is clicked, whilst remaining part of the main scene and not within the movieclip.
lets assume image1 was [URL] and image2 was [URL] clicking the background change button would switch the background image to the second image, and the background source button would then, instead of opening a new page to[URL] when clicked, would then open a page to [URL]instead.
The code i have thus far is as follows :
Code:
bg_src.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBgsrc, false, 0, true);
var buttontext:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
buttontext.font = "Verdana";
buttontext.color = 0x424647;

So I googled this problem and found like 3 threads with the exact same problem and what fixed their problem didn't fix mine, plus those threads are pretty dated. So I thought I'd get a more up to date answer.

I'm having problems with my animation getting cut of by my navigateToURL code. What is supposed to happen is,If you click on "buttonBtn" it triggers a animation. At the end of the animation it is supposed to stop and bring up a url. I've used gotoAndPlay ("frm") and navigateToUrl. Each time I test it in the browser the animation will begin, but the url comes up before the animation is finished. How do I allow the animation to play all the way through and then retrieve the url?
stop();
//SimpleButton ButtonBtn;
function handleClick( pEvent:MouseEvent):void
{

I'm kinda new with Flash but I've managed to create a menu for a homepage. Now when I click on one of the menu links - the page opens up in a new window. But I don't want that at all. I want the page to open up in another frame called mainframe. I've tried a number of things already; changing from "mainframe" to "_mainframe" and back, trippelchecking that the frames name really is mainframe so there's no typo. I've also changed the name of the mainframe both in the htmlfile and the code but that didn't work either.
Here's my code:
var linkabout:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about.html");
//...// function aboutClick(event: MouseEvent):void {
if(subDown[1] == true) {
//true = submenyn Īr nere o ska upp
subAbout_mc.gotoAndPlay(15);

On a game we just completed in Flash Builder 4, there are a couple of links like this:
var sponsorLink:String = http://www.plantersplace.com/;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(sponsorLink), _blank);
IE 7 in some installations is treating this as a popup. Firefox 3.6, Chrome 5, Safari 4 all fine.
The game in question is at [URL]
Click "continue without logging in, then click "show hint". Click the hint. This should fire the above code and open a new window.
Several users in IE report this gives them a pop up alert. I am trying to find out why and what can be done about it. I have tried the solution I found at Zorked but people STILL say they are getting popup alerts.

I had developed a whole series of tutorials using Flash CS4 (AS3). To load various modules I used the the following code:
Button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{[code]...
This works great with CS4 but when I stated using CS5 and exported my swf files, it stopped working. It seems that its trying to find the page over the internet and not the local directory anymore.
