I am new to Flash and am working on a web template I purchase online. I have a flash file called flash.fla I'm working with in Flash CS4 (trial). Of the five main menu buttons, I would like to redirect the 4th (the "videos" tab) to a youtube channel I've set up. I've located where the 4th button is in my .fla file. It's called B4. I double clicked on it, which opens it up in the timeline. There's 4 little objects in the timeline: b, b, t1, and t2.b is a frame, as is the 2nd b, and both t1 and t2 are documents. The only one I can open up in ActionScript is the 2nd B. I choose the GetURL from Script Assist, and put in my desired address, as followsI then close out ActionScript, and Export it as an Image File. I name it flash.swf to replace the .swf with the same name on my server. When I publish the new changes, the page just says Menu. If I click on that,
I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:
I have an animation that loops and has different images come up with certain elements on the screen that remain the same throughout the movie. Depending on the image that is being displayed, the url of the link assigned to one of the constant elements changes with the code that I posted below.
The problem occurs when the movie loops because the URL of the constant is supposed to go back to the first link (just like everything else loops and starts at the beginning) but it remains as the last url that was declared.
Here are the three blocks of code I am using for the links, truth is the instance name of the button. These code snippets are arranged in their own "actions" layer on my timeline
First URL truth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick); function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:../pages/calculate.html");
im trying to embed an swf file in facebook. To cut the story short, the swf im trying to embed is loaded fine but stops at preloader stage (0% of 1) and is not progessing as if it has missing link and couldnt locate something (the files struscture is one main swf file; index.swf loads other 5 swf),But, when i tried to load it up directly from browser, it works fine. I have been advised that changing the link path to absolute between the index.swf and 1.swf, 2.swf etc would solve the problem.
My questions will be:
-how do i change this path, because i couldnt seem to find any link that reflects the connection between those files?
-Is there any feature in flash that would be able to show this link rather than diggin up every symbol?
-If changing the path wouldnt solve the problem, what could be the reason this error is happening?.
When using the "textFormat.selectable = false", the text which I send to the freshly generated text field still is selectable. How to turn the selectivity of a dynamic generated link? Note: .selectable is not documented in the property summary for the TextFormat object. But does turn blue in the editor.
i am developing a piece for our home page that has three buttons below what's essentially a picture frame. the buttons work. it's the picture frame that doesn't.i have 4 ads that will rotate, each up for 250 frames. they fade out and in over each other. each has an instance name...ad1_link, ad2_link, etc. the idea is that as we have new products, etc, we'll swap in a new picture and remake the .swf.when i ran the code initially i got an 1120: access of undefined property error for pictures 2-4. no problems with the first one. after numerous attempts to find a solution, i decided to load all four movie clips at the same time, hiding them using the alpha property set to 0.i get no more errors, but now no matter which movie clip is visible, only the link to movie clip 4 (ad4_link) works. i need each clip to have it's own link, obviously, and for each to go away as the clip does.[code]
I am editing a Flash file and I need to change a mailto: link. When I edit that link to change the email address I get several instances of error #1056. why such an arbitrary change would break everything .
Edit: Here are the errors:
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property baseBackground on com.***t.csg.view.CSGWebsite. ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property backgroundHolder on com.***.csg.view.CSGWebsite. ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property backgroundMergeHolder on com.***.csg.view.CSGWebsite[code].........
I'd like to make sort of gallery with previous/next buttons. And on each image you'd have circles/link over important parts of the image.So each image wold have these circles on different locations. Question: how can I make that dynamically? And that it's not to complicated for the editor of the site? One way would be to write in XML x and y positions.
i have a menu generated with array, there are 4 button.When the script start the default 1.xml is loaded.When I click on btn 1 I need to load 2.xml.If I clicked btn 1 then click on btn 2 or btn 3 or btn 4, I need to reload the default 1.xml.But after I reloaded 1.xml and click on btn 2 or btn 3 or btn 4, 1.xml has not to be reloaded, but it has to continue the slideshow without restarting.I try to do this within the button down function. When click on btn 1 currentSection = 0.when click on btn 2 currentSection = 1 and so on.[code]

I am creating a tab menu interface with 3 buttons. I have got them working to where on the clicked state the button goes the rollover frame in the animation and freezes until the user clicks on another button tab. What I can't figure out is how to get the first button to load in the "rollover" state so it looks like the first tab is selected already. Attached is the fla file. In the main movie as I tried setting btn1 to the stop on frame 25 with: btn1.gotoAndStop (25); This works initially but when you click on the other buttons the btn1 stays in the selected state.
I wanted to put there a background that will change (fade out and than fade in another one) according to menu position. It would load external *.swf's. For example I'm in "A" and the background is "bg01.swf", after clicking "B" the "bg01.swf" background would unload/stop (fade out) and than the "bg02.swf" would fade in and start to animate. I can't put the right script in the menu system. The source files are attached to this post (Flash CS3 source file and the backgrounds):
I have created a finite menu and it works fine, the only problem is that now I want to have the menu set to 50% alpha and when the user moves the mouse over the menu it gradually increases to 100%, Since I have never messed with Alpha's using action script.
I am going through Senocular's beautiful tutorial on xml driver drill down menu and was trying to change the the font color with rollover effects. I have a function that I can use for this, but I am not able to call it appropriately from the main program.
I'm having a problem changing the right click menu that appears on my website. I just want to add a "copyright company name"and if possible take all the rest of the menu items out.
how to jump from one frame a movie clip, rot menu, to a frame of another, main, through a button in rot menu, rot menu is a movie clip in symbol 1 which is in another (cant remeber) in main. from frame 1 of main i want the button to be pressed and it takes you frame 2 of main.
Im working on a restuarant website and im trying to set up 3 seperate links for menus. Lunch diner and catering. id like to setup a link for each option that calls apon a menu to appear in front, then an x at the top right of the menu to exit it and fade out back to the original website.
I have a drop down menu in AS2 Flash. I want to be able to link to any scene, any frame from this one menu.All I want to do is to go back to the root and then to go to the relevant scene/frame. Inside my menu (a series of buttons inside a movieclip), the code on one particular button is:
I have a problem with link "contact", when i click on it i can`t see a loading page "photo2". Maybe this problem is with function animateOn. I attach a file.
okay so i am trying to create a menu system that contains 6 buttons and positioned in the center of the stage . the button originates from the Library as a single MovieClip and positioned dynamically but how do i add a roll over and link each 6 buttons to 6 different websites?
I made 4 short 2 minutes SWF "presentation movies" that I want to burn onto BizCard CDs and mail to clients and prospective clients. I created a menu with the four items to link tot he movies. I ASSUMED I would be able to do this but I cannot link from my four menu items to the movies. I have tried everything but I end up with looping or syntax errors.
I am trying to change the position of a movie clip which is acting as a menu and loading other swfs onto the stage. The problem is, is that the movie clip is also animated and when an swf is loaded the movie clip appears underneath the loaded swf. What method I should use to change the hierarchy of this movieclip.
My menu(code is by scotty)has 3 movieclip buttons, with text. I broke apart the text to change the color onMouseOver. Problem is the button only works when the mouse is pointed over the actual text, so it doesn't work properly, because the text is obviously very small. I can't put a "field" behind it, because it will become part of the MC, and thus will change color. Here's the example: [URL] File is here: [URL]
I installed a flash template. It has navigation buttons with a nice roll-over effect. The buttons are all located within a symbol called "menu" (it is a Movie Clip type symbol, not a Button type). Each individual button in the menu appear to be in its own separate layer, so the first button is in a layer called "item1, second button in "item2", and so on. I want to edit the link for the fourth button so it goes to another website but I can't seem to find the code to edit the link. I managed to find
[CODE]...
and this does work - upon pressing the button it goes to the website link. However, there is no more roll-over effect for this button. So there has to be an alternative or better way to editing the link for this button (without removing the roll-over effect).
i am using this as my casourel menu.[code]i am very new to the as. now the problem is how to change the button onRelease link to the frame number instead of url?
