When I worked with Flash CS3 and CS4, you could click on an element (such as a photo or a button) and a URL field would appear within the properties pane. From there, you could assign a URL to this element. I'm trying to figure out how to do this in CS5, but I can't find any way of doing it without actions
Is there anyway to simply assign a URL to an element in CS5?
Is it possible to assign the F11 key to a button in as3? Couldn't find anything on the www.

I just completed the carousel menu tutorials 1 and 2, and I'd like to adapt the menu for my own use. I want to have each button go to a different URL when clicked, and I've assigned a URL to each button in my XML document under the name "URLREF" (because flash would assume URL wasn't an identifier.How can I tell flash (Using CS3 and AS2) to read the URLREF values for each button, and then tell it to open those URLs in a new window when their buttons are clicked? (note - The getURL should, as far as I'm aware, be in the function "released," where my "tooltext" trace is.)Here's my actionscript: (and XML a little further down.)

How do I create a button & assign a value to a text box within it, in actionscript? Can I create an instance of a button from the library dynamically?
View 3 RepliesI am creating a dynamic group of buttons based on a string that i pass to flash file. There is no problem creating these buttons (that I do duplicating a movieclip from my library) The question is, that i need these buttons to open another page, all buttons the same, but passing a parameter. How can i assign the action to my buttons?
My frame 1 code is at this moment:
for (i=0; i<totalItems; i++) {
_root.attachMovie('loader', 'imageLoader'+i, getNextHighestDepth());
_root['imageLoader'+i]._x = 132*(i);
_root['imageLoader'+i]._y = 1;
_root['imageLoader'+i].imageLoader.loadMovie(_root['img'+i]);
}
The string that flash receives is something like
totalItems=3&img0=pic01.jpg&id0=01&img1=pic02.jpg& id1=02
and the parameter i want to pass to the new page is the value of 'id'.
Me and some friends here at school (hyper island) has got an assignment to make a flashgame.Now we have some problems. We want to assign a button on the keyboard to a specific player. Something like this "Player 1 choose your button" and so on.
View 2 RepliesI am building a Flex application with ActionScript 3. Unfortunately I've hit a wall with this one...I would like to be able to apply an upSkin to my dynamically generated button like this:
//this theSkin variable is dynamic in my app, but for this example it's a simple string
var theSkin:String = "http://www.mypicturedomain.com/images/myimage.gif";
var navBtn:Button = new Button();
navBtn.id = "thumb1";

When I attempt this, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@3dac941 to Class.
How do I skin this button with my image dynamically? A couple of things to consider:The upSkin image must be remote. It can't be local.The button must be generated dynamically (it's in a for loop).

assign a number value to an mc. So I'm done my early work on it and am ready to try and integrate this function. I'm making a small change game. So game is split into five scenes, each scene the person will receive a receipt. The person will have change in their hand (all canadian denominations). They have to look at the receipt and the change in their hand (both mcs), and figure out if its correct. If not they drag change from another pile and place it in the hand. So here's what I'm looking at trying to accomplish. I'd like to have a check change button (simple mc). I'm guessing that each coin needs a numeric value associated with it (no clue on if or how you could do this). If the numbers add up to the predetermined bill value (so I'm guessing I'd give that a numeric value as well), i hit the check button and it'll see if the change in the hand adds up to match what the bill should. So here's where my code sits currently, still tweaking as we speak. I'm still new so be gentle on my code I know its long.

quires the main page to fade to black and then load an .swf using .loadmovie. The swf begins with black and fades out to reveal a set of buttons. This should create a seamless fade-to-black and un-fade to the loaded swf.The problem is that there are multiple buttons presenting multiple choices on the main page, and I want each one, when clicked, to create a variable with a certian value corresponding to the button pressed. I want to use that variable in a switch statement to load the right .swf that corresponds to the button pressed on the main page.'m not sure if this is a syntax problem, flash seems to think my code is okayI put this on the first frame...
