View 6 RepliesI'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?
Flash version 9.0 (CS3 Professional)
Im trying to write a global fucntion for button rollOver, rollOut animation.
here's what I have as of right now.
On the root timeline::
stop();
function buttonFade(fade) {
if (fade) {
[Code]....
Im still wishy washy on function syntax..
is it possible to write a function to move an object and then call that function on a clip event for instance
function (bounce){
script;
script;
}
and then call it by saying
on(mouseOver){
this.bounce;
}
How do I use the getURL function in AS3 ?

I recently formatted my disk and installed WindowsVista Ultimate. Now, I find that this simple piece of code is not working. But earlier when I was using Windows XP, this code would open a new browser window (in firefox) and automatically prompt me to log into Gmail account, and after I log into gmail I will have this 'userEmail' successfully inserted in the "To:" field (inside gmail)
Code:
var userEmail="myemail@gmail.com"
getURL("mailto:"+userEmail);
Can't figure out why this is not working in my new OS.
I have a simple Flash button with the following script attached:
on (release) {
getURL("http://URL/sample.pdf", "_new");
}
And I've also tried this:

my client (Who uses Firefox, on a PC) has to click on the button twice to view the PDF. The first time they click on the button, they have to close the blank window that pops up and then click on the Flash button again to view the PDF. It opens fine the second time. Is this just a PC problem? On my Mac (Safari) it works fine, but (Firefox) seems to want to save the document before I can view it.
I would like to call a jQuery pager function (p) defined as:
function p(page)
{
$('#pitch').load(page);
}
how can I call this function inner swf with method getURL..
note: normally I call it in html tag as:
<a href="#" onclick="p('somefile.php?id=someid');">link name</a>
I can't get my getURL to work. It works when I use "_blank" but not when I use "_self" or "_parent" or "_top" or leave it empty. I've got it right off the main timeline. I've also tried putting it within an onRelease function.
So, this doesn't work:
Code:
getURL("images/aboutus.jpg", "_self");
But this does:
Code:
getURL("images/aboutus.jpg", "_blank");
I'm modifying an mp3 player by flabell, and try to get some buttons to work. However, I can't seem to get the getURL to work, even though it works in other parts of the script. This is my code:
mc.rate1.onRelease = function() {
trace(this.ID);
getURL("[URL]","_blank");
};
The trace goes through fine. Here is the code that works:
Code:
private function downloadRelease(mc : MovieClip) : Void {
var title : String = mc._name;
var index : Number = Number(title.substring(title.lastIndexOf("n")+1,title.length));
getURL(songsSource[index], Main.getInstance().mcAlbums.linksTarget);
}
I'm on a mac with firefox.
how to add a variable to a getURL Javascript function. I have; ActionScript Code: getURL("javascript:JavascriptFunctionNAme(ASVariableName?);"); It works fine when I replace ASVariableName with "1" or some other plain text.
View 5 Repliesi have that header for my navigation here: [url] However I cannot get the getURL command to function properly. You can test it out by clicking on a key meta word (right hand side) than clicking on "home" to take you back.As you will see it does not work.The site is built around Joomla—it's pretty basic and I didn't care for any of the navigational options so I built a flash menu.
edit I can get this to work when I "cmd-return" out of flash and test the .swf - but online it's a no go.

I am trying to use the getURL function to open a new window with a variable URL, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want it to. Here is the code i am using:
on (release) {
getURL("popup.htm?/projects/"+_root.foldername+"/"+_root.projname+"_1highres.jpg", "_blank")
}
The problem appears to be the question mark. If I remove the question mark it works fine.. but I need to use the question mark because the rest of the info is just information I am having popup.htm interpret
I have a button with some transition/easing on it...and a geturl function. However there is something weird happening, when the button is clicked, it sees the geturl alright, and the browser opens...but cant seem to get any further than that! [code]...

{

This works absolutely fine in Internet Explorer but in Chrome in the question mark is obviously made into "%3F". how I can stop this from happening and still keep it compatible with IE and other popular browsers?
I have a file upload application I built that uses FLASH as a means to transfer file to/from users directories on a server. Once the file transfer has completed I fire a function that includes a call to a javascript function within my page that executes an AJAX refresh of one of the "div's" on my page.
ActionScript Code:
// COMPLETE FUNCTION
fileRefListener.onComplete = function (fileRef:FileReference):Void {
status_txt.text +="<font size="11" color="#E6E6E6"><b>" + fileRef.name + " uploaded.</b></font>
";
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
filesCompleted++;
[Code] .....
And my JS is:
Code:
function handOff() {
new Ajax.Updater('manage_user_info', '/fileTransfer/manage_user.php?client=' + $('users_to_manage').getValue(), { method: 'get' });
}
This works flawlessly in IE6/IE7/IE8/FF3.6/Opera/Chrome/Safari on Windows Machines but for users on MAC's there seems to be an issue. Any particular reason this wouldn't be working in a MAC environment?
I am creating a gallery type site, I am loading xml data externally creating duplicate movie clips and it all works fine, my only problem is I want them to go to a URL, I have one of the nodes with the URL and in my actionscript I am calling a function to getURL on press, the problem is on each separate movieclip it links to the URL of the last movieclip in the stack.
View 1 RepliesI have a simple getURL below and have been looking around for a way to #1 - set a time a time delay#2 - call an external js function#3 - load my page
butMov.onRelease = function () {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com"+myURL);
}
When I use:
on (release){
this.stop();
getURL("page.html", "_blank");
}
Why is it that when that new page window is loaded the background flash window then runs my
on (rollOut){
this.play();
}
function? I am trying to pause the timeline I am clicking from in Flash. If I take this line out (this.play() it pauses, but if I were to go that way how would I start getting my MC to play again when the user gets back to the flash window?
