I'm currently having a problem with hyperlinks in menu done in flash.Menu button hyperlinks work when www is added to browser address bar and do not work, when www is not addedI'm using following actionscript:
on (release) {getURL
("http://www.dione.ee/index.php?option=com_content&
task=view&id=11&Itemi d=12", "_self");

At work we have a lot of AS3 code that conditionally performs logging or assertions like so:

Is there any way to do something similar in AS3, or do we have to do the conditional compilation blocks around everything? I have been looking around manuals but have found nothing useful yet.
I'm making a Myst clone and want the cursor to do different things when it mouses over various objects and regions, for instance:
- Turns into an open hand when over a grabbable item.
- Turns into a right-facing arrow when on the right side of the screen signifying "turn right here".
- Turns into an icon of an inventory object when the object is selected.
How is this done? I found some code that sort of did it, but it was sloppy, the cursor flickered like crazy, and overall it sucked. I want to harness in Flash the same mechanism that makes my cursor turn into the bracket thing when it's over a text field, or a finger when over a link.ALSO I want to be able to make the arrow stay a regular arrow when it's over manipulatable items I want to remain secret.

Introduction: I have a flat ArrayCollection of object's, which i group to create the dataProvider for an AdvancedDataGrid. In this AdvancedDataGrid i have different branches representing different type of tasks. I want to conditionally change the icon for the leaf nodes in the AdvancedDataGrid based on a date field stored in each object.For this purpose lets say each Task object contains an id and an updatedDate (Representing when the task was last updated). If the task has not been updated in the last five days (updatedDate+5 < today) the icon of that leaf node(Task) should be red, in constrast to the opposite the leaf icon in the AdvancedDatagrid should be green, e.g. like the image below. In this case task 35 has not been updated in the last 5 days, while 13 and 39 have.
Question: How do i change the leaf icons in the ADG based on the updatedDate of the underlying object? I would think that i have to extend AdvancedDataGrid and override some method, but which and how?I have seen easy ways of changing the open and closed icons on the web, but no way of conditionally changing an open node's icon :)
I have to designed a datagrid, in first column i have to use closed lock icon. when i click a row in a datagrid the selected rows' icon should change as opened lock icon. how i can achive this task in flex 3.

View 5 RepliesI've messed around with XML+FLASH menu systems (downloaded from various Flash resource sites) on a novice level . As in, I know how to modify the XML file to have the content I want and where to rename the XML file in the FLA if need be. But I've never had to actually manually modify any functions within the FLA before. I'm really green when it comes down to diggin' within the Flash coding. Anywho, I came upon this really nice horizontal/glide menu from a way talented flash guru who was nice enough to share his source files with me...

I am working with flash 6 with a map that is already made.
1. find a layer with a name "LINKS".
2. Press F9.
3. The window "Actions" will open.In it a window you will see the following code.
4. In it a code you can change links for any state.
//Washington
_root.map.state1.onPress=function(){
this.gotoAndStop(10);
getURL("http://www.yourdomen.com/yourpage.html");
Easy enough except for the fact that there is no layer named links. All the layers are numbered. I can't get a response from the company.
when I try to make text or a button into a hyperlink within that tooltip, it doesn't seem to be usable in the preview. I click on the text/button, and it just doesn't do anything. I've tried coding it several different ways, and looked for an appropriate tutorial, but I haven't been able to find any luck. Is there something I'm missing? Can I even make hyperlinks in a tooltip that's made with that simplified code, or will I have to find another way to make them?

View 1 RepliesI recently made a .swf file which is hosted here [URL] as you can see the hyperlinks work fine and go to the correct sites. My question and impass is that whenever I post this same file as a forum signature it works fine but when I click on the hyperlinks they don't bring up the websites they act like they are dead.
btw the hyperlinks are just Text that I changed to Dynamic text with urls.
My flash is incide an iframe. The problem is that the hyperlinks incide the flash are opening in a new window or incide the iframe.I want the link to load in the current window.
View 3 RepliesI need to add as many number of hyperlinks to a custom "pop-up". The properties for customised Pop-up are as follows:
A pop-up is a retangle shaped figure with BackgroundColour = #FFFFCC, Width=170 and Height= 275 respectively mentioned in Properties Window. Here, Pop-up is a MovieClip and its instance-name is"myPopup".
Now, i need to add text(which must act as hyperlinks, i.e., they must capture MouseEvent_CLICK event, should listen to the event and should produce response on clicking on the hyperlink) in vertical manner viz., the width,height and x-position should not change and only y-position for placing th text-field should change.
My code for creating a TextField with required width,height,x-pos and y-pos is as follows:
function createTextField(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):TextField
{
var result:TextField = new TextField();

I have a dynamic textbox on the 3rd level of a flash movie. The textbox has some hyperlinks for which I used this AS2 code as a test:[code]When I test the scene it works well on all levels apart from the root level. When I test the whole movie, the link does not respond. On rollover the mouse converts into a text cursor, and I have to click several times, until randomly a hand comes up and the link opens. I don't understand why on all sublevels (in the movieclips), the link works perfectly (on rollover mouse becomes hand and click loads URL int browser), but not on the root level. Btw, I placed the movie with the textbox on top, so there is no layer above that in the root timeline.
View 2 RepliesI use a content management system [CMS] here at work so am to a certain extent restricted in terms of web design. In Dreamweaver I can easily create 'hotspots' on an image so there are hyperlinks all over it, however inserting this image in the CMS so that all the 'hotspots' work isn't possible (well I can't make it work). However, it is possible to embed Flash into the CMS by using appropriate code in an html portlet.
Consequently, if I have a .PNG image how do I convert that to a movie in Flash and then create lots of hyperlinks all over the image? If Flash is not the best way to do this, should I use Fireworks? In Fireworks I am able to add hotspots to an image, but when I save the image with the hotspots in my 'web folder' and view the url, the hotspots don't work. The onlt way I seem to be able to make the hotspots work in Fireworks is to save it as a .htm and then view that url, but obviously that is no good as I can't insert that as an image on a webpage in the CMS as it isn't an image
