ActionScript 3.0 :: GetURL Not Working From Nested Clip?
Jan 13, 2011
I have a simple getURL on a movieclip. Looks like this:
Actionscript Code:
var galURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("gallery.html");nav.gal.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickGal);function onClickGal(evt:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(galURL, "_self");}
there seams to be some problem with the getURL functionality when it is not on the top level. how to address this? I did a search for the topic but the spinny applet just keeps spinning and spinning when I hit search.

I can usually fumble my way through things *and i usually like to figure things out on my own* I did find a few other threads on this, but the only conclusive thing i came across was the _lockroot = true; which works beautifully.. untill u navigate to the drag and drop portion.

I developed a portable video player thats similar to YouTube's video player where you pass a video's info and the video loads and plays. The player can
also be embedded on your own personal site using the embed tags. My problem is this, everything with playing / loading the video works fine. But I've got a link on the Flash thats hard coded to a url and links off using getUrl like so:
getUrl('http://www.site.com', '_self')
Now this works if the HTML and SWF are in the same location (ie both local, or both on the hosting server) but for some reason it doesn't work in the embed mode when the player swf is located on one server and the HTML that's loading the SWF is on another server. XML loads fine, videos load, images load, but the gerUrl does not work...doesn't go anywhere. Also, I've got my crossdomain xml file setup to accept all domains using the * option.

Been banging my head against this forever. Running a SWF banner running AS2.0. If you view the banner's page with www before it, it works fine. If you visit the url WITHOUT the www the geturl script doesnt work at all.URL...I've tried changing the allow access setting from domain only to always and I changed the actionscript to be document relative instead of a full link and none of that has fixed the problem.

I've got the very old infinite menu posted on Kirupa's site. I haven't done anything but switch it to a vertical menu, but the problem is that I put a button in the menu, the 2nd grey box, with a getURL that just goes to google. Problem is, it won't load the url. I had wanted to put buttons in this menu to get new URLs or do things it flash, but it won't respond.

I developped a simple flash photoalbum, but since the project has gone live the links on the buttons are not working anymore.The swf is located at http:[url].... and if we test it like this it works fine. But if we go to http:[url]... it goes wrong. The dynamic xml is loaded fine, images and text as well, but only the getURL stops working.
Code:
getURL("http://www.client.com/products/be-nl/121/listall/page/1/","_self");

why a getURL isn't working on a movieclip? The exact same code works fine when on a normal button but not on a MovieClip. Both were on the top timeline and were not embedded within anything. Actionscripting 1 in Flash CS3.
Code:
on (release) {
getURL(clickTag, "_blank");
}

Ok so my swf on my homepage is calling in the main.swf which then has movieclips and coded like this on the Actions layer which I made
button1.onRelease = function (){
button1.getURL("http://scholarscanada.com/wordpress/education/programs/reading-readiness/");
}
Here is the site so you guys can see, I believe it has to be something with calling the main.swf into the movieclip because I've never encountered this issue before...

If you click on the LEARN MORE for the first image it doesnt go to the page which I ask it for.

I have two main clips with clickable clicks within each. I am using swapDepths on the two main clips in a tab navagation fashion. The problem is that if I click on the space between the nested clips in the top clip it actually is hitting the buttons(movieclips) on the other clip under it. Any suggestions?

I recently formatted my disk and installed WindowsVista Ultimate. Now, I find that this simple piece of code is not working. But earlier when I was using Windows XP, this code would open a new browser window (in firefox) and automatically prompt me to log into Gmail account, and after I log into gmail I will have this 'userEmail' successfully inserted in the "To:" field (inside gmail)
Code:
var userEmail="myemail@gmail.com"
getURL("mailto:"+userEmail);
Can't figure out why this is not working in my new OS.

I am a Noob to ActionScripting and am having problems getting some movieclips to link to different URLs on release. I am able to get them to animate, and I am able to get them to link to an html page in the same folder, but I can�t get both functionalities to work at the same time and it is driving me crazy!! I've tried putting the actionscript in the instance object, in the action layer, and other things and nothing seems to work!?I believe that the actionscripting needs to be done in the "baners" movieclip, but it could also be the "Symbol 3" movieclip
Here is also a link to the . See, if you mouse over the first two clips, they animate, but they do not go to the HTML page if you click on them. The third clip will go to the page success1.html in the same folder if you click on it, but it does not animate on mouse over.I'm using Flash CS3 as my editor and I'm using ActionScript 2.0 for the scripting

I can't get my getURL to work. It works when I use "_blank" but not when I use "_self" or "_parent" or "_top" or leave it empty. I've got it right off the main timeline. I've also tried putting it within an onRelease function.
So, this doesn't work:
Code:
getURL("images/aboutus.jpg", "_self");
But this does:
Code:
getURL("images/aboutus.jpg", "_blank");

I'm modifying an mp3 player by flabell, and try to get some buttons to work. However, I can't seem to get the getURL to work, even though it works in other parts of the script. This is my code:
mc.rate1.onRelease = function() {
trace(this.ID);
getURL("[URL]","_blank");
};
The trace goes through fine. Here is the code that works:
Code:
private function downloadRelease(mc : MovieClip) : Void {
var title : String = mc._name;
var index : Number = Number(title.substring(title.lastIndexOf("n")+1,title.length));
getURL(songsSource[index], Main.getInstance().mcAlbums.linksTarget);
}
I'm on a mac with firefox.

I'm trying to use getURL to open a new window that will have a specified size.I downloaded Macromedia's own tutorial/sample code for how to do this using javascript and cannot get it to work.
Here's their code:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.macromedia.com','thewin','height=400,width=400 ,toolbar=no,scr ollbars=yes') ");
}
[URL]
Nothing happens when I click their button. I tried changing the target, still nothing. I also tried it in Safari and in Firefox with FF's popup blocker turned off. Nothing.

I'm encountering a problem with the getURL function. When I have a button with the following AS
Code:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");
}
and test it within Firefox (0.9.2) then it loads within the same tab which isn't what I want obviously. In IE it loads a new window without problems. This used to work but I after reinstalling winXP with SP2 it doesn't work anymore

The problem appears to be the question mark. If I remove the question mark it works fine.. but I need to use the question mark because the rest of the info is just information I am having popup.htm interpret

I have a very simple button with a GetUrl action. The flash is being embedded via a script, using document.write method. All works as expected when the script is hosted within the webiste. I need to host the script externally though, on a remote website (its a banner script). The problem is that when I embed the movie using the REMOTE javascript file, i.e. [URL], the simple GetUrl does not work at all.
I'm sure this is something related to security or cross site scripting, but I'm equally sure there's a way around this. Affiliate banners use flash to do the very same thing (somehow).

I have a file upload application I built that uses FLASH as a means to transfer file to/from users directories on a server. Once the file transfer has completed I fire a function that includes a call to a javascript function within my page that executes an AJAX refresh of one of the "div's" on my page.
ActionScript Code:
// COMPLETE FUNCTION
fileRefListener.onComplete = function (fileRef:FileReference):Void {
status_txt.text +="<font size="11" color="#E6E6E6"><b>" + fileRef.name + " uploaded.</b></font>
";
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
filesCompleted++;
[Code] .....
And my JS is:
Code:
function handOff() {
new Ajax.Updater('manage_user_info', '/fileTransfer/manage_user.php?client=' + $('users_to_manage').getValue(), { method: 'get' });
}
This works flawlessly in IE6/IE7/IE8/FF3.6/Opera/Chrome/Safari on Windows Machines but for users on MAC's there seems to be an issue. Any particular reason this wouldn't be working in a MAC environment?

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

I initially posted this in the AS3 NEWBY forum but I think it probably belongs here. On stage I have 5 boxes, the letter A and two buttons labelled button1 and button2. The letter A is also defined as a button labelled AA_btn. When I click on button1 I want a condition to be set so that if the letter A is clicked, boxes 2 and 4 will disappear. Conversly if I click on button2 I want boxes 1, 3 and 5 to disappear. To do this I have nested the letter A and B functions under the button1 and button2 functions.
I also have a reset button which resets the display of all five boxes back to their original display.Everything works fine when I press Button1 to set the first scenario. When I then click on the letter A boxes 2 and 4 disappear. (perfect). Everything also seems to work when I press the reset button, ie: all five boxes reappear.
