View 1 RepliesI am trying to modify a template that I have:There are 6 menu buttons on the top, they have rollover animation effects, as well as animation click effects. It did not come scripted with the action of which page to load when you click on them. The way the template was written, it uses the same script for all the buttons. What should I stick into cause it to load different webpages, (index, index1, etc..) based on which menu button it is over the current script for the buttons are as follows:This is on a sprite, not a button object.There are multiple menu buttons of the same sprite. (each one just changes the num = ___) For Example:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (load){num = 2;}
And I believe they refer to the following sprite:
PHP Code:
on (rollOver){if (_root.link != _parent.num) _parent.gotoAndPlay("s1");
} // end if}on

View 2 RepliesI have a 3D carousel that's displaying some web pages. When they're clicked on they come forward and there's a paragraph of text displaying some info (that's pulled from the .xml).I would like to have a link after the paragraph to the web page that it's displaying that says something like "Launch" or "Click Here to View Site"So can I add that link into my .xml document?
View 6 RepliesI've created a video in Premiere Pro, and I'd like to add hyperlinks to a couple of words that I added as Titles in Premiere Pro (I'm asking on this forum because I saw a similar question referred this way).In order to add functional hyperlinks, I created a couple of swfs in the Flash CS4 IDE which would serve as invisible buttons (though used movieclips) that link to the respective websites via NavigateToURL. After checking to make sure things were working with the swfs, I dragged them into my premiere pro project panel and added them to the timeline to coincide with when I needed the links to be available.I then exported the flv from Premiere Pro with Adobe Media encoder.
The flash site I'm building uses the Gaia framework, so I added the flv file as an asset to one of my Gaia pages, and everything loads up normally - the video plays and I can see the highlighted areas I'd created to serve as clickable links. The links within the video, however, don't work, and I wasn't sure if this was a Gaia issue or if there's some other step (or steps) I need to take to make this work.(If there's a different way to get working, clickable links into a Premiere Pro video, I'm open to that as well).
I have created a short animation in Flash CS4 which has one button with a URL link. the button shows up on frame 217, and on that frame I added the following action script:
[Code]...
however, the 'hit zone' for the button shows up from frame 1 of the animation. is there a way of getting the hit zone to start when the button shows up?
Is it possible to add code (...html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '_root.pageChoice = "home3" '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page.
View 4 Repliesi created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg"));
trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.
I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest'
I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.
i want to know how to do this, i want to link another flash file when a user click on this button and the current flash will unload and the new flash file will load, so what should i do? means there are 2 flash files in total.

Well yeah, I thought so as well. I mean I know the 'formula' by heart on how to add the link to an image (make it into a button, blah blah blah)
But for some reason when I do that, it doesn't work.
I want to add 5 links (lets say google.com) to the 5 images that are in a slider.
For some reason it gives me like... oh man.. so many errors
Here is the link, its about 500kbs, the link is located at the BOTTOM, RIGHT, CORNER: [URL]

I have got two flash files now, one called intro.swf and the other called egx.swf. I have a button on the intro file with an instance name of b1, which I want to open up the other file (the egx.swf file). I have tried several codes, but when I get it working, it loads up the homepage, but keeps the text and the button on the intro file up, which I need to get off. Basically I need to link the intro file and the egx file together through the button, and then need to get rid of the intro file from the stage.
View 1 RepliesI am building a website and the top navigation is in Flash. Each button links to a HTML page. My problem is that when each button is clicked it jumps to the wrong page and I can't figure out why as the URL links are correct. The buttons are movieclips if that makes any difference.[code]...
View 2 Repliesi have followed a tutorial to build a flash craousel and have had no problems in building that. i wanted to add a html link to a section of the carousel but everything i have tried up to now has failed. All the information is passed through to the carousel from an xml file and everything works fine except for the link.
i have slightly modified the tutorial so i have an extra box on the information page which holds the web address for the site they are looking at in the portfolio. i have the address showing up but i cannot use the text as a link. the box that i am putting it in is a dynamic text box which has been set up with the following settings

View 1 RepliesI have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way?
View 4 RepliesI am using the Carousel application as designed in the 3 part tutorial. My question that i can't find an answer to online is how to add a URL link in the description text that shows when an icon is clicked.
View 3 RepliesI absolutely love the carousel however in the item description I would like to have html links. I have tried the following:
FLASH:
theText.html = true; <<< i added this to the main AS code
import mx.utils.Delegate; ETC.....
XML:
<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="LimeWire" content="LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Gnutella network. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. Limewire was the first file sharing program Java installed
<a href="[URL]">orchard</a>."/>
I also just added the standard html link into the xml. However all that loads is the background content, the main carousel refuses to load.

Here is the situation: I have an XML document which I rip through using a for Loop, and I place the data into an array. From there I tell the data where to go. I have an attribute in my XML called 'link' which contains a URL, now I want to spit that out into a separate textbox and have it also link to the given URL. I have the URL stored in the array just fine, and I can even spit the URL into the textfield, my only question is how to make it link instead of just being normal text?
I hope I explained this well, but the basic gist of it is I have everything working except for adding the hyperlink.
