Flash 8 - How To Link Two SWF Files Through Button
Jan 15, 2010
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.
Very new to Flash using CS4, leopard. I made an animation in Flash not using script for an introduction page. I made the sections as another file, following a CS4 tutorial, using actionscript 3 for the buttons etc. How do I stitch these together so that the enter button on the non-script portion accesses the first page of the actionscript file? Also, what is the advantage to remaking the non-script file into action script. The swf file on the non-script file is 376 kb and the ationscript file swf is 404kb.
I am making a Flash portfolio. So far so good except for 1 issue that I've run up against. I have linked my separate .swf files together using the following script:[code]The files are linking, but the problem is that the files are opening on top of each other. In other words, the previous .swf file does not disappear as the new .swf file opens. It opens on top of the last one so the result is a messy layered mess. I thought that keeping the level at 2 would remedy this but no success.
a code for creating a simple link between files on my computer using flash cs4? Im trying to link sperate swf files within the folder. Im trying to make a cd and i have 5 sperate swf files that need to link to each other and back to the home page which is also a seperate swf file.
i 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.
I 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]...
I am using action script 3 to make my website and all my files and done for now and complete however I have no idea how to make the buttons I created in flash link to another flash document.
I am trying to make a button in Flash (that uses ActionScript 2.0) that will load the PayPal web site using the code provided by paypal. I choped up the PayPal button to get the follow that I thought was correct:

Im trying to link a flash banner but seem to be having trouble. I know I need to add the link within Flash on the button or actionscript of the button. I need help with the code.

I am creating this animation. When you click on a button I want it to use facebox to use a pop up. I was talking to my coder friend and he gave me this code to maybe useSo I am trying to basically use this kind of coding into flash. The only thing is that I am not that great a coding so I have no idea what I am doing. The only coding that I have is a stop (); at the end of the animation so it doesn't loop.
I am trying to make a button work in a Flash cs4 file using as2. It is a template I am modifying from DreamTemplate. I don't know what I am supposed to change and exactly what I should change that unknown code to Here is the code I have:

I have a flash button link using actionscript 3.0. The animation is a fade in of a logo. The problem is that the button is only a link during the animation, ie. when the logo has fully faded in it stops becoming a link.
Here is the actionscript code I am using: import flash.events.MouseEvent;myButton.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction); function myButtonFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]"); navigateToURL(request, "_self");}
I need to have link buttons at end of each parent node as shown below [code]rename, delete and diasble are link buttons. I have tried with label function and other methods also but not able get the exact requrement.
I'm really new to using actionscript and am trying to figure out something that seems like it should be really simple. I have eight images on my screen and each one links to an external page.[code]...
Those eight images fade out one at a time while at the same time a new image is fading in with a different external link. This works great the first time through. But, when the first image fades back in, when you click on it, it links to the link of the second image. If you reset your cookies, it fixes itself for the first round again, but how can I make this work all the time?
I'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
I was just going to ask if it's possible to add a link to a button in Flash so it would bookmark the page?I found this code, but it doesn't work.[url]...
i'm having trouble finding a tutorial on this through google. in html, i have this code on a text link:Code:<a href="page1.html" onclick="return loadIframe('ifrm', this.href)">Page 1</a>basically just returns a page's height to the iframe called ifrm so that the height of the iframe will be dynamically changed.the page's nav is being changed to flash, so i need to somehow script that snippet into a flash button. normally i'd use something like:
