I purchased a Flash template. I know I need to edit the .FLA file, but yikes. Layers and layers. How do I link the existing buttos in the FLA file to other URL's in the site--like "home", "contact us", etc. pages? I have a Lynda subscription, but trying to find a specific topic in those tutorials is a pain.

Those which are drop down/masked, do not work. The content appears after clicking on them, then disappears when other (drop down) button is rolled over.

Does anyone know how I could control a buttons link using xml? That way the link could be changed anytime without having to open the flash source file and re-export the movie.

Im trying to make two buttons for my artefact to link to facebook and twitter, but it doesn't work. I've got no error messages or anything, I just click the button and it doesn't do anything
The code is the following:
BTN_FACEBOOK.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, FacebookClick);
function FacebookClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
var getFacebook:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]");
navigateToURL(getFacebook);
}
BTN_TWITTER.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, TwitterClick);
function TwitterClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
var getTwitter:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]");
navigateToURL(getTwitter);
}
I have a whole site made with flash, but I don't know how to link the buttons to other htmls. the actionscript is way too confusing. Is there a copy and paste I can use?
View 4 RepliesI'm fairly new to CS4 and like Dreamweaver CS4, the changes have been hard to over come in some areas. I can't seem to link text, graphics, or buttons to a URL. I get a message saying "Current selection can not have actions applied to it" When I was working with text originally, I found that I couldn't click to bring up the URL, but I would right click and open in a new window.

I need to add a link when the flash and buttons load. Under symbol definitions i have button defined, and i have this in each button item:
onClipEvent (load) {
num=3;
}
How can i add a link to another page on my site? I tried doing this, but it did not help:
onClipEvent (load) {
num=3;
link = "aboutus.html";
}
I'm just picking up flash and I am trying to make a new menu of buttons in the template and I will be changing the menu that is already there, but it isn't using conventional menu coding. This is the piece of code I am trying to use for my button to lead to a different movie clip to a different frame than the one the buttons are sitting in, a separate movie clip.
stop();
customhms_btn.addEventListener('click', function(e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop('customhomes');
});
Of course there are more buttons, this is just one. Customhomes is the frame label, customhms_btn is the instance name. It tells me that customhms_btn is not defined. I have this code sitting in the movie clip that the buttons are in by itself in the first layer.
I am working on our new website and have purchased an animated flash template. I have very limited experience of Flash and use Dreamweaver as my every day web tool.
I have modified most of the template but have a frustration with some animated buttons pointing to the same page even though I think i have programmed CS5 to point it to different pages. In the middle of each page is 3 boxes which have 3 Read me buttons... each should point to a different page.

It has absolutely got me beaten. I have copied the buttons and their animations, renamed all elements of the button but something is clearly linking them together.
I am an extreme newbie at Flash and AS3.I've just been reading all I can this past week and trying to put together what I had hoped was a simple project in flash for our Website banner. I'll try to describe my project and the part that I am stuck at.[URL]..
You'll see a large green banner near the top of the page that advertises one of our products. In Flash, I have created a rotating banner with five images like the one shown on our site. I have it rotating on an 8-second basis, and I have it so that when someone clicks on my invisible button (the whole banner part) that it goes to that product's web page. I've also added five small buttons in the bottom right corner, so that someone can hover over them and go back to one of the rotating images if they missed what was shown, etc.
I have figured out how to create the buttons and have them shown red, when hovered on each layer. The part that I am stuck at, is I don't know how once I write my action for each button, to have them link back to one of these rotating banner images. I know this is possible, I just don't know AS3 or any programming for that matter to understand what my options are for the function script. I have each one set up as an instance so that I can add the EventListener when they click on it, I just don't know what to put other than a URL, since that is all I am familiar with. If you know how to get me to link my project to this forum so you can see the actual project,
I am trying to create a Flash website that with multiple pages. Each page has input text areas to collect a number of something. I would like to do the following :
Have multiple pages that keep the user's input data as they navigate back and forth between pages Allow the user to hit a simple "calculate" button to take the kept information on each page and show the end calculation of the entered data on each page on the main stage or page.
I would assume that to keep input information intact, the pages would all have to reside in FRAME 1 where the actionscript is kept and the main guts of the calculations occur. So, is there a way to make a multi-page website in Frame 1 only using only multiple layers where the page buttons simply only go to another layer rather than page. Or, can I create a multi-page website over many frames, keep the user entered data intact while navigating to each page and propigate/calculate that data when the user hits the "calculate" button on the main page?
I am building a basic website and am trying to set up my buttons to link to my different pages. But some of them are not working and I have no idea why. The ones that arent working are in the red box. I really don't know why cause they are set up the same as the rest... is there a bug or something I dont know that wont make these work. Anyways my actions page looks like this:
[Code]...
stop();
brain_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);
function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[code].....
I have a scrollPane on my Stage and I have it linked to a movieClip containing a series of images that have been converted to buttons. Everything works fine, except I can't seem to figure out how to get the buttons to link to the main timeline. All I want is them to gotoAndPlay ("frameLableOnTheMainTimeline"). (I am using AS3)I tried a standard on Click eventListener, but am unsure of the syntax to make it go back to a specific frame on the main timeline.
View 6 RepliesI want to create a small color game. So far I am stuck at the first part. I already created the layers and buttons. What I am stuck on is the actual coding part. This is what i am stuck on, a start that will start sending 5 boxes from the starting point to the ending point. Each moving box will have its own buttons that allow it change its color. 1st click is blue, 2nd is red, 3rd is green, 4th is back to white. What ever color is recieve at the end point, it will send another color box back. So if a red reach the end point it will send a blue box back, or if a white reach the end it will send a orange box back.

I was wondering if there was a way to Link a button to open a program on my computer. I'm making an interactive desktop.... basically, and was trying to figure out a way to create links (or shortcuts) to a program using Flash 5, and having it open the program, or file.

I am using CS3 and want to have an XML file that has the links likeimported into the flash so when a button is clicked it will go there...I have looked at numerous examples but all are too complicated for what i want to do.I will pay someone via paypal if they want to do this quick fix for me... I can send the file... should be strait forward for someone knowing waht they are doing
View 3 RepliesWhat I need is a code that sends the user to a speacific page, everytime that button is clicked. The way I have been trying to do this (which may be wrong) is to set up each page on a different keyframe in the timeline (with stop actions on each one) - surely its now just a matter of adding an action to link each button to their page?
