ActionScript 3.0 :: Using GotoAndPlay Then NavigateToURL?
Feb 14, 2009
I'm having problems with my animation getting cut of by my navigateToURL code. What is supposed to happen is,If you click on "buttonBtn" it triggers a animation. At the end of the animation it is supposed to stop and bring up a url. I've used gotoAndPlay ("frm") and navigateToUrl. Each time I test it in the browser the animation will begin, but the url comes up before the animation is finished. How do I allow the animation to play all the way through and then retrieve the url?
stop();
//SimpleButton ButtonBtn;
function handleClick( pEvent:MouseEvent):void
{

Maybe someone in this forum can give me some help. Here is what I'm trying to do... I have page that when you click any of the buttons, it triggers the same animation. Now, depending on which button you click, it will take you to a different url. My problem is, with the code I have, the animation gets cut off before it's finished and goes straight to the url. I know I need some type of listener or something to watch for the end of the animation before going to the url. I can't seem to figure out what that code is or where it needs to go. Also, my animation is not in a movie clip. It's all in Scene 1. I've got the following script in the first frame of the actions layer. I'm only about three weeks into self-teaching AS3, so tell me like a third grader what is up.[code]

PHP Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://localhost/SE/processimage.php");
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables ();
vars.awd = "awd";
[code]...
When I load that url the variable is sent using the GET method instead. It appears in the url in the browser and the browser shows an error first then "awd", meaning it worked for $_GET. I tried both req.methods and tried adding "_self" and "_blank" and also on different browsers. It still uses GET.

currently i have the main scene and within this scene i have a button with the value bg_src Also in the scene is a movieclip containing several frames, each frame with a different image and stop();, a different button simply tells this movieclip to go to the next frame, the last frame in that movieclip returns it to the first frame, so it will continuously loop through the images when the button is clicked, one image at a time.
Problem i am having is that i want the button with the value bg_src to link to the original source of the background images when it is clicked, whilst remaining part of the main scene and not within the movieclip.
lets assume image1 was [URL] and image2 was [URL] clicking the background change button would switch the background image to the second image, and the background source button would then, instead of opening a new page to[URL] when clicked, would then open a page to [URL]instead.
The code i have thus far is as follows :
Code:
bg_src.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBgsrc, false, 0, true);
var buttontext:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
buttontext.font = "Verdana";
buttontext.color = 0x424647;

So I googled this problem and found like 3 threads with the exact same problem and what fixed their problem didn't fix mine, plus those threads are pretty dated. So I thought I'd get a more up to date answer.

I'm kinda new with Flash but I've managed to create a menu for a homepage. Now when I click on one of the menu links - the page opens up in a new window. But I don't want that at all. I want the page to open up in another frame called mainframe. I've tried a number of things already; changing from "mainframe" to "_mainframe" and back, trippelchecking that the frames name really is mainframe so there's no typo. I've also changed the name of the mainframe both in the htmlfile and the code but that didn't work either.
Here's my code:
var linkabout:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about.html");
//...// function aboutClick(event: MouseEvent):void {
if(subDown[1] == true) {
//true = submenyn Īr nere o ska upp
subAbout_mc.gotoAndPlay(15);

On a game we just completed in Flash Builder 4, there are a couple of links like this:
var sponsorLink:String = http://www.plantersplace.com/;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(sponsorLink), _blank);
IE 7 in some installations is treating this as a popup. Firefox 3.6, Chrome 5, Safari 4 all fine.
The game in question is at [URL]
Click "continue without logging in, then click "show hint". Click the hint. This should fire the above code and open a new window.
Several users in IE report this gives them a pop up alert. I am trying to find out why and what can be done about it. I have tried the solution I found at Zorked but people STILL say they are getting popup alerts.

I had developed a whole series of tutorials using Flash CS4 (AS3). To load various modules I used the the following code:
Button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{[code]...
This works great with CS4 but when I stated using CS5 and exported my swf files, it stopped working. It seems that its trying to find the page over the internet and not the local directory anymore.

I'm fairly new to actionscript. I have created a flash banner ad that is now hosted on a site. Whenever somebody clicks the banner IE responds witha a "pop-up blocked"!
The code that handles this is:
ActionScript Code:
clicky.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotourl);
function gotourl(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG.substr(0,5)=="http:") {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG),"_blank");
}}
Where "clicky" is a SimpleButton that covers the entire flash. clickTAG is passed as an argument as to where to navigate. If I allow pop-ups everything works as it should! Howvere disabling pop-ups shouldnt be needed - and i see that other flash ads on the site works without and pop-up warning.

I am using the following line of code in my Flash movie: navigateToURL(request,"_blank");However, when I am using Internet Explorer 7 (with tabbed browsing enabled), and this code is called to open a link, the link is opened in a new tab, but IE7 does not switch you to view that tab as you would expect!When I open a link in a normal web page in IE7 (and the link opens in a new tab because _blank was specified in the HTML code for that link), IE7 will switch you to that new tab to see the web page you just opened, so why does it not happen when using Flash?I know that within the settings for IE7, there is a setting that you can tick that says, Always switch to new tabs when they are created, and this solves the problem. However, many web site visitors will not have this ticked.How can I make sure that when a user opens a link in a new tab from my Flash movie, IE7 switches to that tab?I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.

create an AS3 menu with graphic buttons (animations already done) that get the URL link (navigatetoURL function) from an external XML file.
Could you write for me the necessary AS3 code and the structure for the XML?
Situation:
- Animated button (already done)
- Code to pass URL link to the button from an XML file (I don't know)

I have a problem in Flash CS3 using AS3 which is driving me nuts. What I am doing seems easy enough and it works fine on Macintosh under Firefox and Safari, but I can't get it to work on Windows under Firefox 2 or IE 7.
I have a button on the stage with an animation that leads up to it's reveal, hence the stop() function in the AS. The button is labelled "Web_btn" and the purpose is to open a web site when the user clicks on the button. Ideally I would like the button to open in a new window but I understand that that is a problem due to web blockers so I have chosen to use "_self" for now. On the Mac (OSX 10.5.8 and Flash 10) everything works as expected but on Windows (XP SP3 and Flash 10) when I click on the button nothing happens. Here is the code I am using:
Code:
// Initialize
function init()

what I'm using in a Mac projector that's on a CD-ROM:
Code:
protected function get urlRequest():URLRequest
{
return new URLRequest("http://www.kirupa.com");
[code]...
Basically, all I want is a thing where:a user puts in a CD-ROMopens the projectorclicks a button and the user's browser goes to the specified web pageThis works fine on a PC projector. On a Mac, it never opens the page. It seems like the Mac puts the focus on the default browser program, but never goes to the URL.

I have a page with 2 div, simply like this
<div id="menu">
//here the code for a flash menu
</div>
<div id="content">
//here I want to show a flash movie accordingly to the button clicked on the menu
</div>
I want to show the pages inside the div "content" without reload the whole page, can I do this with navigateToURL()? Can it interact with a js function or an Ajax call?

I'm at my absolute wit's end. I'm an advanced Photoshop and After Effects user with quite a bit of knowledge using HTML and CSS. Today is my first day of Flash.
One would think that redirecting to a different page at a certain frame would be simple. I've been sitting here for 5 hours sifting through tutorials and forums and still have yet to arrive at the answer.
Here's what I have:
I clicked on the last keyframe and in the actions panel entered:
flash.net.navigateToURL(URLRequest("http://www.mywebsite.com/index.html", "_self"));
I have tried many (many) other iterations. how it can be done using step by step instructions. Most importantly I need a complete example of the actual code to be used.
Why is it so very very difficult to do this? I love how scripts function in After Effects. I love other Adobe software. Why is Flash so cumbersome?

Assuming that I want to open some html file placed on server with the use of navigateToURL: navigateToURL(new URLRequest("MyDirectory_1/MyDirectory_2/index.html"), "_blank"); Html opened in this way makes browser treat it as a pop-up window. As a result the html is blocked by browser.

I am simply trying to link a button on my site to another webpage (an online store). The site is currently live at Higdon Florist (won't let me put the dot com address due to forum rules) The last 2 menu options (View Bouquets and Place Order) should link to (store dot higdon florist)
On PC, this works just fine every time.
However, I have reports that Mac users have trouble. The action never fires on the first 4 or 5 tries. Then, suddenly, it begins to work (and continues to work thereafter).
My AS3:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("(store address)"), "_self");

My flex app has a call in it to navigateToURL(new URLRequest(_rURL),'_self');
But it takes about 3-5 or even more seconds before it will leave the current page.
If I omit the '_self' the new window opens immediately and the page loads immediate...but only when I set it to _self I get a few seconds of a delay before it loads...I have no idea why but it is annoying.. I am wondering if anyone might have any idea why this is happening or anything I can do?
