I got a "gotoURL" action within a movieclip from the main time line. So, you got the main time line, then you click on the movie clip thats on the main timeline, and within that is the gotoURL action that is linked to a movieclip within the movie clip the action is on. (Hopefully that makes sense to you.)
I have no error reports or anything. Is it possible to put a gotoURL function inside a movieclip?
I have a question regarding linking to an URL. I have a text button that I want linked to a URL when clicked. I am using ActionScript 2.0 not 3.0 thus have very limited tutorials to review.
I am currently using the following script on the button:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.signaturehill.com")'
}
This works but there is a glitch.It is not waiting for click/release ... it is "automatically" going to the url without waiting?
Is there way to have it "wait" for the click? I do not know what code to ad in Action Script 2.0 to do this since I used the Script Assist for the URL command under Global Functions. I have uploaded the file incase you wish to view.
I'm a little bit stuck as to why gotoURL would return false and does nothing. Does anyone know what could possibly cause gotoURL to return false? submit is a MC. The trace works fine. It's just the gotoURL doesn't take you any where.
Code:
submit.onPress = function()
{

Alright so I have 5 buttons going across a page, and when i click on one, I want an animation to play that leads into the next page. I want this same animation to play whenever I click any of the buttons, but after the animation is done, I need the movie to go to different URLs.Basically I need code for a button to play an animation, then go to a URL after the movie clip has finished playing.

I used a little script from this website to make a button with rollover/roll-out effects (http:url..). In the end of the script, it says:
this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http:[url]...);
Now I want the button not to follow an external link, but to go to a specific frame number further in my movie.But I can't get it (not with an extra normal button,not with gotoAndPlay (52) etc.).
I have the scenario below. I have a movieclip on the stage (root). Inside this movieclip I have a frame with the action below:
_root.MCHappy.visible = false;
_root.MCSad.visible = false;
_root.MCNormal.visible = true;
I cant get this working with AS3. How is the correct way to do that inside a MovieClip with AS3?
on the mainTimeline if have a movieclip. inside this movieclip i have a script that loads text from database. what important note is: var myPageText: String

now i want this to work inside a other movielip in other scene. is it possible to call myPageText???
Here is a files with my movie [URL]. This is gallery and when press mini pictures I wanna this action : is preloader - after movie clip a, b , c , d go to self place - (tween action) - after foto show - i trying with _visible but was something bad.

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can i make a MovieClip object drag able by the mouse? If i have two MovieClip instances, is it possible to make a new shape/MovieClip objects in that looks like a line and which will connect then? I have functions checking if the 'nodes' movie clip instances collide with the 'line' movie clip instances, now these all are different functions and conditional, but is it possible to check if ALL of them are true?

I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?
