I am trying to make a getURL() that doesn't utilize a button, at a certain frame in the timeline (after a movieclip). I understand that getURL() no longer exists in Actionscript 3 but if anyone can explain to me how to write an action that will allow me to open a URL in its _parent frame after a certain amount of time
without clicking.
I'm having a strange problem with getURL. in my flash file, i have two buttons one for an email link and another one for a site link here is the code
[Code]...
when i test it in flash (Ctr+enter) only the button linking to the site works, but the email button doesn't work. And when i preview it in html, only the the email button works, but the site button doesn't work.
How can I make this button wait 10 seconds before it does the getUrl?
Code:
process.onRelease = function(){
getURL("/our-process/brand-building","_self");
[code].....

View 3 RepliesI'm running macromedia flash mx, and I'm trying to make a linkable swf by following this procedure: I select the object and then convert it to symbol. Then I choose " button " Right click at the object---> actions ---->[+]--->browser/network ----> getURL. I type my url and choose 'self" target.
When I test movie the hand symbol appears at first, but when clicked it turns to arrow. Exactly the same happends when I appload the swf and of course there's no link ...

Still creating the menu I ran into this problem with getURL. I've tried a lot of things, but it still won't go to the URL. Here's my AS code. I marked out where the getURL is.

// Create xml-object
menuXml = new XML();
// Ignore tabs, spaces etc.

I'm trying to get the code below to work, but no such luck:
Code:
var newsAry = new Array("news/040720.html");
for(i=1; i<=newsAry.length; i++) {
this["btn" + i].index = i;
this["btn" + i].onRelease = function() {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow(" + newsAry[this.index - 1] + ",'newswin','height=400,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");
}}
I'm trying to get the 'newsAry' Array to work in the javascript getURL action. When I use a regular html page in there the page works just fine.
I'm trying to add a simple getURL script to a simple text button-- should be really simple, right? But when I select the instance of the button on the stage it says the current selection cannot have actions applied to it. This, despite the fact that I am able to open an old .fla that has the same type of button and it does have a getURL action applied. What gives?

View 6 RepliesI try to create a flash menu; where every button on the screen operates as a simple getUrl() link. Because of this, I have taken the following steps:- Create new document.- Create a symbol on the canvas.- convert is into a button Symbol- Double Click the button and adding events for up, down, over by clicking F6 on each frame.- back in scene one, I right click the button and open the Action panel- Adding the Script: "on release { getUrl('index.html'}- Press ctrl + enter to test the move ! ( index.html exists in the same folder as the flash file.)
View 1 RepliesI'm working with some XML-supplied data, with a variable number of elements. I'm using a loop to add instances of a symbol for each element via attachMovie. But something is preventing my URL action from getting properly assigned.
When I do this:
ActionScript Code:
itemY = 0;
urls = [];
[Code].....
They have been made following a tut from Flash_db.I have not been able to test the PHP script yet so no probs with that , but the problem lies in my Flash movie.
The submit button uses a getURL action, but Flash cannot seem to find the PHP file, even though they are in the same folder.
I would like to create a button in Flash with a getURL that can be easily edited by using an XML source.

question is coming from a person new to Flash, and a non-programmer upto this point. I realize there are several books and tutorials, however I am looking for something directed at person very new to Flash and unexposed to programming, and Actionscripting.

I'm building my first AIR application after two years of building Flex applications with a SQL Server database, using ColdFusion CFCs and .NET as WebService interfaces.I want to create an AIR application with static data and I'm trying to figure out the best way of doing this, and how to do this. I have several related pieces of data.Should I store all the data in XML files and read it directly from there? Or should I use the built-in SQLite database? If I use the SQLite Database, is there anyway to have the data pre-populated with the application, or does it have to be built each time the application is loaded?
View 1 RepliesI have been searching Google trying to find a solution to my problem with no joy, so I thought I would post in here to try my luck.I have created a small movie which can be found here, [URL], the problem I have lays with the button at the top of the movie titled "Click Here to Create Your Canvas". I have 'Publish Previewed' in Flash and the button works fine - changing on mouseover and opening link, however when viewed in HTML the button changes as intended but the link does not open on release.
the Action code used is as follows:

View 2 RepliesI have a .swf file containing a navigation bar and also an animation. I was going to use getURL on the nav buttons so that a different html page would launch onRelease. The animation in the swf file that contains the nav buttons plays as soon as the swf is loaded and there's also a movie clip in the file which continues its animation even after the file has loaded and played. As each of the nav buttons are pressed and the correct html page loads, I don't want the entire swf file to reload and therefore play the entire animation again as it did on the home page, but instead I just want it to appear as though it's already loaded but I do want the separate movie clip in the swf file to continue to play. Is there any way to make this happen?
Also, I wondered what code I'd need to make the current page nav button appear in a different state to all the other buttons to make a "you are here" effect.

View 1 RepliesI've been doing some rapid prototyping for a game I'm thinking of building. one of the main things i want to do is map generation for a tile type map. While generating the map i end up using large amounts of ram. I'm building the map as an array of random integers for my test. When i try to generate maps of a large scale flash gives me the out of memory error:
Error: Error #1000: The system is out of memory.
I've already figured i could write to a file instead, to solve that problem. but does anybody know the actual maximum size? I've tried searching around to no avail.Activity monitor reports that ADL is using around 500MB "real memory" and around 700MB "virtual memory". The System.privateMemory property seems to match the "real memory" value.as a side note i'm developing in OSX Snow Leopard (64) with 8gb ram
EDIT:
Here the example test i am running
var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
for(var i:uint = 0; i<100000000; i++)
{
ba.writeInt(int(Math.random()*100));
[code]....
When i run this script from a browser, stand-alone debugger or AIR i get roughly the same memory usage readouts (which i know vary anyway). What is constant however is the final length of the byte array:
Browser (Firefox): TM: 540413952 FM: 19116032 PM: 562573312 BALENGTH: 13421778
Stand-alone: TM: 540577792 FM: 1810432 PM: 545361920 BALENGTH: 134217728
AIR (2.6): TM: 5410816 FM: 1159168 PM: 551464960 BALENGTH: 134217728
My testing methods might not be perfect, though i dont know how to do deeper profiling.
