we have a project that will be using a flash based 'flip book' to display approximately 3000 products.
The issue is that there needs to be a button placed on each product that will link to the main website.
With out publishing 3000 buttons with different actionscripted links, is there a more automated way to do this?
I am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.

I have a flash file with several layers, each composing of a single movie clip which slides in over the layer below it. The movie clips are nothing more than static images. I would like to make it so that each "slide" links to a different URL.I am new to AS3, and I am just getting back on the flash wagon with this little banner rotating project, so I'm a bit confused with why layers, and timeline positioning seem to be effecting the links.I found a few tutorials online, and can manage to make one link on the bottom layer work, but when I try to expand the code and the file to create links from different movie clips on different layers, I run into problems. when I add the action script for the other buttons, the movie will fail to play by it's self on load. I can get this to work with ode:this.gotoAndPlay(1)at the top of the ActionScript But none of the other links work.Here is what I am using for more than one link:
Code:
backpacks.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {

I'm trying to pull data from an XML file into a TextArea to take advantage of the scroll bar capabilities.I have two XMLLists, XListCopy & XListURLs. XListCopy is basically a list of words that need to be on their own line. While the XListURLs are the respective links for those words.Since at the moment, I'm using appendText obviously any links will be merged into one. Is there any way to separate each & make each clickable?
View 11 RepliesI have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL. So far I have only gotten it to work for the final URL. No matter which image I click on, it only brings up that last URL.
Here is my code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler1);
function buttonClickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));

I'm working on a project for a client and I'm doing something I have never done in Flash. The Flash first loads four images that have been converted to buttons. Those four by itself link correctly, but when I add the code for the next two sets of images the code breaks and none of the links work. I'm not sure what to do. Here is the code for the first two sets of images:
The last two links cause a problem. I get Error 1120 access of undefined object. However, when I click the button and look in the properties box it says Instance of BTN_Adult01 and Instance of BTN_ModelFemale so I'm not sure what the problem is.
I tried to paste my source code but it won't let me because it contains links and I don't have enough posts, but I did attach the file.
I have kind of a follow up question what would the procedure be if I had like a slide show and each slide when you clicked on it there would be multiple links this is the code I have so far: My slideshow instance names are pic_000_mc to pic_004_mc

I know there is a better and more efficient way to do this then to have all five different functions and listeners.
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.

View 1 RepliesSWF functions beautifully on its own (i.e., animations play, rollovers work). However, when uploaded to the server and dropped into the HTML with the proper plug-ins, the links suddenly cease to function. Flash still plays beautifully - it's just the links that seem to disappear. The one browser where the links seem to work 'as is' is Firefox on PC.
I am using the basic but usually effective:
on (release) { getURL("http://www.site.com"); }
Sorta-solution:Added "_blank" to the end of the script and this worked in all tested browsers... however, the client wants the URL to open in the same window (they have asked not to provide the actual link). Anyone have a concrete idea as to why and how to fix this?
For the past half-year I've been coding like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root.menu_mc.link1.onRollOver = function () {
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.htmlText = "<FONT COLOR='#000000'>" + "Cool" + "</FONT>";
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.thickness = 100;

I know and I've seen some more efficent code such as, making loops and assigning variables.
get started by making the above code more efficient? I've attached the source file.
I have a very simple flash project that I need to be completed tommorow or my head is in the block! I am new to Flash and Actionscript but work well with PHP so do have some idea of what I am doing but, this has left me stumped and in trouble if I don't get it done! Basically my movie is very simple. I have a background and after a short break my first scene flys on with one link then leaves - then the second with a different link, then the third.
I converted all links to buttons and gave them instance names 'button1_btn', button2_btn' and 'button3_btn' and then added my new layer for the action script. Below is the actionscript I used to make the buttons work:

I'm building a site to showcase various engagement tools for the web. Most of what is involved is new to me. My biggest challenge is finding the right AS3 code to make buttons link to URLs. when I try to duplicate it and change the btn name, in order to make two, or three or four separate links to four unique buttons I get an error about trying to call the same function more than once. This is her code and as I said it works for one button link. Can it be made to work for multiple instances?
inv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com")); trace("I'm clicked");}
Right now all of my links use the Properties text link feature, which continues to deliver target=blank function despite my having deleted the target and saved and republished way more than once.

I have 6 buttons, for some reason only the first button(my_home) works

Right now I have a static way that I set the url's to 5 buttons, here's a sample of what I am doing:
Object(root).grid_slider.links.twitter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToTwitter);
Object(root).grid_slider.links.facebook.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToFacebook);
function fl_ClickToGoToFacebook(event:MouseEvent):void[code]......
I have everything working fine but I have been asked that the url's are loaded from a xml file instead of static. Not quite sure where to go from here..I've read how to read from xml but do I need to set the values in global variables?

I have buttons that need to perform multiple functions: On rollover, they send their link to the browser's status bar. On roll out they clear the status bar. On press they send tracking code to the html. And on release they send getURL with the link. I've put in some variables so that I don't need to copy the links over and over, but I'd really like to streamline button functions so that I don't need to make a whole new set of onRollover onRollout onPress onRelease functions for each and every link. how to simplify button functions so that they can work for any button.
Code:
//IMPORT THE JAVASCRIPT EXTERNAL
import flash.external.*;
//THE FUNCTION THAT WILL CALL THE JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION IN THE HEAD OF THE HTML DOC
function jsStatus(link) {
// The name of a JavaScript function to call
//IN QUOTES, IN THIS CASE callStatusBar

View 8 RepliesI have a flash movie with some buttons created through action script. Currently the button links are going inside the flash menu, starting an animation. I need them to go to web folder, but I don't know how to do it.
This is the part for the button action :
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
_root.page = this._parent.item_no + 1;
_root.play();
};
It creates 8 buttons. I tried this:
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
};
When I do this, publish and click on any button, it opens both links. How can I assign for each button, a link? Here's the whole code for the button generation and linking :
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
flashmo_logo._visible = false;
flashmo_logo._y = 300;
menu_item_group.menu_item._visible = false;

I'm Trying to develop a small game where the user chooses from a range of boxes of the left of screen and can drag 3 of them separatley to 3 holding boxes on ther right. each box can be dragged to any location and the order is not important. Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.

box 1 = "circle_mc"
box 2 = "circle_mc2"

View 4 RepliesIn one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
