ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing The Url Of A Link On The Same Timeline And In The Same Swf
Sep 24, 2009
I have an animation that loops and has different images come up with certain elements on the screen that remain the same throughout the movie. Depending on the image that is being displayed, the url of the link assigned to one of the constant elements changes with the code that I posted below.
The problem occurs when the movie loops because the URL of the constant is supposed to go back to the first link (just like everything else loops and starts at the beginning) but it remains as the last url that was declared.
Here are the three blocks of code I am using for the links, truth is the instance name of the button. These code snippets are arranged in their own "actions" layer on my timeline
First URL
truth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:../pages/calculate.html");
[Code].....

I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:

I am new to Flash and am working on a web template I purchase online. I have a flash file called flash.fla I'm working with in Flash CS4 (trial). Of the five main menu buttons, I would like to redirect the 4th (the "videos" tab) to a youtube channel I've set up. I've located where the 4th button is in my .fla file. It's called B4. I double clicked on it, which opens it up in the timeline. There's 4 little objects in the timeline: b, b, t1, and t2.b is a frame, as is the 2nd b, and both t1 and t2 are documents. The only one I can open up in ActionScript is the 2nd B. I choose the GetURL from Script Assist, and put in my desired address, as followsI then close out ActionScript, and Export it as an Image File. I name it flash.swf to replace the .swf with the same name on my server. When I publish the new changes, the page just says Menu. If I click on that,

im trying to embed an swf file in facebook. To cut the story short, the swf im trying to embed is loaded fine but stops at preloader stage (0% of 1) and is not progessing as if it has missing link and couldnt locate something (the files struscture is one main swf file; index.swf loads other 5 swf),But, when i tried to load it up directly from browser, it works fine. I have been advised that changing the link path to absolute between the index.swf and 1.swf, 2.swf etc would solve the problem.
My questions will be:
-how do i change this path, because i couldnt seem to find any link that reflects the connection between those files?
-Is there any feature in flash that would be able to show this link rather than diggin up every symbol?
-If changing the path wouldnt solve the problem, what could be the reason this error is happening?.

When using the "textFormat.selectable = false", the text which I send to the freshly generated text field still is selectable. How to turn the selectivity of a dynamic generated link?
Note: .selectable is not documented in the property summary for the TextFormat object. But does turn blue in the editor.

i am developing a piece for our home page that has three buttons below what's essentially a picture frame. the buttons work. it's the picture frame that doesn't.i have 4 ads that will rotate, each up for 250 frames. they fade out and in over each other. each has an instance name...ad1_link, ad2_link, etc. the idea is that as we have new products, etc, we'll swap in a new picture and remake the .swf.when i ran the code initially i got an 1120: access of undefined property error for pictures 2-4. no problems with the first one. after numerous attempts to find a solution, i decided to load all four movie clips at the same time, hiding them using the alpha property set to 0.i get no more errors, but now no matter which movie clip is visible, only the link to movie clip 4 (ad4_link) works. i need each clip to have it's own link, obviously, and for each to go away as the clip does.[code]

I'd like to make sort of gallery with previous/next buttons. And on each image you'd have circles/link over important parts of the image.So each image wold have these circles on different locations. Question: how can I make that dynamically? And that it's not to complicated for the editor of the site? One way would be to write in XML x and y positions.

When I close the file (making sure to save) and reopen it. All the frame #'s attributed to the hand symbol revert back to frame 1.Meaning I have to redo every hand pose again and again and again. More importantly when the animation is approved and I send it off, when the client opens it the animation is incomplete.

I have been shown how to do a very specific task in Flash Pro CS5. I have five slides in my timeline, with buttons that include links to product pages on our website. These five slides comprise a movie, with each slide being displayed for a few seconds and it repeatedly cycles through the five slides in a banner at the top of our home page. In addition there is a navigation bar below my slide images with a play and pause option, plus the five slide numbers so the viewer can navigate from slide to slide manually. I have been asked to change the order of the slides so that slide #5 now becomes slide #1 and slide #1 becomes slide #2, and so on.
I can easily switch the images and links so that the slides are in a different order in my file, but now the navigation bar below does not work. In the Actions panel, the #1 button in the navigation bar still appears to be linked to slide 1, which now has the new images, yet the nav bar does not respond to clicks anymore. How was my nav bar disabled when I switched the images and links around between the slides? and how can I correct this? I know nothing else about Flash except how to replace the images and change the button links in each slide, which I do monthly, as this is the top banner on our website.

I can get the videos to play using the flvplauer component, but im having a little trouble figuring out if and how to dynamically change the path of the flvplayer while running through a timeline. If I can do something like mc.changeFLVPath that would be awesome!

The template has a timeline at the bottom of the page. The dates are dynamic based on the data in the boxes above it. If you have 3 boxes, one dated 2011, one 2010, one 2009 it will fill the timeline from 2009 to 2011. I want to change the timeline from numbers to text. For example, if I were to put Baseball in one box, Football in the next, and Soccer in the other I want the timeline to show:-----|----------|------------| Baseball----Football-----SoccerHere is the AS code below.M me and we can discuss them there.
ActionScript Code:
//---------------------------------------------------------TimeLine
function _yrOvrF(param1:MouseEvent) {

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).

I have a file with 4 movieclips on the main timeline. 2 of the clips (home_btn, benefits_btn) are used as buttons with rollovers, submenu, etc. The other 2 clips (home_mc, benefits_mc) are basic content. What I've been trying to do for a couple days now is to link from a submenu button (benCor1_btn, not a mc btn) inside benefits_btn to a frame label inside a mc (benefits_mc, "b1"). I've attached my FLA file for some to look at my code and tell what the heck I'm doing wrong.

I have a scrollPane on my Stage and I have it linked to a movieClip containing a series of images that have been converted to buttons. Everything works fine, except I can't seem to figure out how to get the buttons to link to the main timeline. All I want is them to gotoAndPlay ("frameLableOnTheMainTimeline"). (I am using AS3)I tried a standard on Click eventListener, but am unsure of the syntax to make it go back to a specific frame on the main timeline.

I've been making the transition from AS2 to AS3 for the last week and am making progress. But I'm having a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm using Flash CS5. I have a fairly simple Flash website I'm working on. I have sections on the timeline like Home, About, Photos, Media ... all set up using labels for each of those sections. Everything is working fine but when I go to my Media section where I have a video placed (using the flv component) I'm having a problem as follows:
The video auto plays fine when I go to the Media section but when I attempt to leave the section and go to another the sound of the video doesn't stop. It continues to play when I go to another section and if I go back to the section it starts again. The video is not there when I go to another section which is the part that's confusing me. In AS2 when I did this the video and the sound both stopped because you went to another section on the timeline. Why is the sound of the video not stopping in AS3?

I'm trying to get the time from the server (php) and then display a different flash movie (via either a different swf or frame on timeline) accordingly.
Unfortunately I haven't found anything that relates to this using as3.

I am working on creating a photo gallery and I am having an issue trying to figure out how to add AS3 code to link buttons to a point in a timeline. I have 5 buttons each with an alpha transparency change that works fine and now I want to establish an action on each button that on CLICK will bring up a particular photo in my timeline.

if there is a way to make a linked object deactivate if another object appears above it in my swf file. Basically when mousing over the a image that covers the link object, the hot spot still works which give the impression that the image that is showing above it has a link. Btw I already know how to place the overlaying image on another timeline of which the linked object is not on, but that is not what I am looking for in this case, I actually need the linked object to remain on the same timeline as the overlay images.

I am creating a very basic menu. My project consists of a main file that then calls other swf's to fill in the rest of the content. My main timeline is this. There is an preloader which hasn't been built yet, a intro section that is two movie clips (one loads the layout, one fades in my buttons). Then when all this loads, I load the first swf. My difficulty is that I am trying to get my buttons, which are held in mc_buttons, to change the variable myLoader on the main timeline. So when you click on a button, it swaps in a different swf for the current loaded one. I have tried calling the following code attached below.
My error is:
"1119: Access of possibly undefined property myLoader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer."
Now, if I define the myLoader variable in the mc_buttons and do an addchild() there, I get the correct content, it just is on top of the old content which isn't what I want...

I make a website. First I have a frame with a movieclip, where my entire page is within.Inside of that is where all of my pages is in different frames, and in each of these frames there are other movieclips with content. My example:Top level /Entire site/My pages, in different frames /Movies/Pictures/About/Etc./Content (inside the "Movies") /Info about movies/Movie one/Movie two/Etc./My problem is as easy as this: I will link from the "My pages" level, to the first frame in "Content" (info about movies)If i just link to the, "Movies" frame, I can't get from "Movie One" to Info about movies by pressing the button, wich lies on the "My pages" Level.
