After I upload the files, I can see the hand icon when I mouse over them, but when I click on that spot nothing happens. I have two text links on the same page that do work. One is an email link and the other is a url link. I have check the button names to my code and they do match.
Here's my new question: What code I have to input in a button file in Flash, for that when I click it opens a site I've made, in a browser? I'm doing my website in Flash, and the other website I want to put the link was made in Dreamweaver. It's not hosted, it's in my pen, that's why I'm having problems with the code.
View 4 RepliesI have created mc's (movie clips) for each one of my pages and for pages within those pages, if you can understand that lol. The problem I am having is, linking from one mc to another.
Example: I am in my home page movie clip, and I have a "read more" button on one of the articles, when a user clicks on this button I want him to be redirected to the page that article is on.
In my case, I am making a website that gives users information on Paris, France. On my home page I have an article that speaks about Napoleonic and I have created a "read more" button. The information on Napoleonic is on the landmarks page(which is its own movie clip). When the user clicks on the "read more" button I want him to be redirected to the page thats in its own movie clip with the info.
how to link the button I made to say Scene 2 of my flash project. I'm not sure the actionscript required or where I put the action script.

I have created seven buttons using Flash version 9 following a tutorial on this site [URL]. The buttons function the way they were designed, however, when I attempt to link them with a URL or a unpublished website file (eg. contact.html or index.html) the button brings up the "TextEdit" application on my Mac.
The action script 3 code that I am using:
btn_6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("contact.html"), "_same");}
I have even tried using action script 2 code after changing the publish settings to AS2:
btn_6.onRelease=function(){
getURL("[URL]", _same);}
The results are the same. When I test the buttons, they link to an application on my Mac. All of my buttons are on the same layer.

I am trying to link 5 buttons I have made in flash CS5 AS3 to 5 pages and I have made this code, but I keep getting error message 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class. My code is

I've converted a graphic that i imported into a button. And put this action script on it to go to a certain scene.
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("2,1");
}
This button should make the movie go to scene 2, frame 1, but its just not workinBackground info:The first scene is jsut a short intro where a couple buttons finally come up in a keyframe. In the keyframe itself, I have a stop action so the main scene doesnt loop. And on each button I have the action that i wrote above, to go to certain scenes depending on which button i click. Am i totally setting this up wrong structurally? Do i need to put any kind of "Reset" action if i want to go back to a previous scene. Also, in each scene, I have a mouse hide and replace action, could this have anything to do with it?
I have a drop down movie button that shows the drop down when scrolled over but i cannot get the drop down buttons to link to the relevant frames.My current script on the dropped down button is
on (release) {gotoAndStop(6);
}
which does nothing.
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).
So the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.
How do i link the items in the list to a button?
View 5 RepliesDecided to stick with AS2.0, i've got buttons that are working great, linking to certain frames in my timeline etc. The only problem I'm having is after they have been clicked and gone to their respected frame, they remain clicked. This is my code for each button

Could this be something in my code or something in the timeline i've possibly done wrong?
This post has been edited to clarify, so that should explain the answer above.I am sure this topic has been covered a million times, but for the life of me, I have been searching the internet for hours trying to find a simple solution to this problem. I am using Flash Cs4 with actionscript 3 and flash player 10 for publish settings. I have a button that I want to open a new webpage. When the button is pressed, I want the window to open so the user can see the original webpage they were on before, and I dont want the original webpage to close. In other words, I want to open a new webpage without closing the original webpage, and allow the user to see both webpages, at the same time doing away with the back button. Is this possible? Here is the script I am using. It is placed on a seperate layer called actions. :
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://mycw3.eclinicalweb.com/cent/jsp/login.jsp"));
}
It does allow me to open the window seperately as long as I am testing the movie in Flash, but when I publish the movie and imbed in into a Dreamweaver Html document (Xhtml), you have to use the back button to go back to the original page. I know this might not be the best way to navigate but the person I am doing this page for wants it this way only.
I have a button in a movie clip named "mc2" inside "mc1" and I want that button the link to a frame which is labled "circles" in "mc1".
View 1 RepliesI've got a dropdown menu in which i need to link to another scene on my site.

I'm trying to make an interactive video player where you have a choice of 3 buttons and each button links to a different frame that has a video player embedded in it. Once on of the frames are brought up, I have a button to take you back to the main screen. However, after clicking back to the main screen, I'm running into the following output error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

If you want to see the actual SWF for a better visual at what I'm doing, you can see it here: [URL]. Scroll down to the Flash object, it says "Memorial Tribute Samples". I have the videos streaming, and am not sure how I could get the FLV videos to stop playing when I click the flash's "Return to Samples" button. Right now, the users would have to pause the video if they don't want it to play in the background as they go back to the first frame.
I'm sure I am missing something. I have created a scrollpane instance "Buttons_sp" and set the source in the properties panel to "SantaThumbs_mc" Set the symbol linkage property to Export for Actionscript and used the default assigned class name for the SantaThumbs_mc. On my main timeline I have another clip LargeSantas_mc that I want to access specific frames on when a button in the scrollpane is clicked.
The button listeners are on an actions layer in the SantasThumbs_mc and at this point I have only one button with active code so I know that the code is being seen when I test the movie, which it seems to be.
My button code is:

View 0 RepliesI wanted to know how to link Button within a movie clip linking to Frame Label?I am using Action-script 3.0
I am trying to use the following AS inside the movie clip from where i want to go to the other frame labeled as advt_sms but i am not able to go to that page [code]...
I am busy converting my online digital portfolio from AS2 to AS3. I have made a new .fla and placed within it only the elements that relate to my question, to greatly simplify things so it is easy to see what I want to do.Lets say I have 3 movieclip buttons, which do three things when hovered over :
1. play a shine animation
2. move slightly
3. cause a tooltip description to appear / fade in, somewhere else on screen.
When mouse moves off, the above 3 things revert to normal and the description fades out.These buttons serve to show a description of the relevant project in my projects folder (project1.html, peoject2.html and project3.html, for demonstration purposes), and to link to them when clicked. The point is that I am trying to do this dynamically, so I have one movieclip(called descriptions) that contains all the descriptions each on its own frame, and use something like
//pseudocode
when button 1 is hovered over, descriptions.goToAndStop(1);
It is difficult for me to explain - but if you just run my swf and also take a quick look at my code (its not a lot) you will know exactly what I am trying to do.
In summary: Basically if you run my swf, you will see 3 buttons. When you hover over each, they are all saying Description 1, but I want button 1 to show description 1 and button 2 to show description 2 etc.Key items / code to look at inside the .fla are :
1. the first frame on the main timeline, actionscript layer - the code
2. the descriptionsHolder movieclip on the descriptions layer
3. the projectDescriptions movieclip inside the descriptionsHolder movieclip
4. the dynamic button (double click any of the buttons) - this is the idea I want for the descriptions too, its a reusable button that has the label 'button1' on all 3 buttons but with some code - the labels change at runtime to button1, button2 and button3.
5. the code inside the dynamic button movieclip on frame 1, actionscript layer.
6. note the buttonLabel movieclip inside the button movieclip, same thing I want done for the descriptions.
6. Also to please note, my code for linking each button to a project (not working)- that I also want to be a reusable function, for assigning a variable to contain the link for the dynamic button, depending on which instance of it is clicked -> go to either project1.html, project2,html or project3.html. I am trying to 'think like a programmer' and use modular, dynamic stuff, but it seems I am having trouble assigning variables or individual frames at runtime to multiple instances of the same dynamic movieclip.
