I am a newbie to Flash. I am working on a template website with a deadline. I was able to change the text, remove items I did not need and add some additional text.....but I cannot get any of the links in either of the two top flash animations (the menu and the header) to work. I am using Flash CS4 (and Dreamweaver CS4). I have tried to add a link to the text, and in the AS. But then they do not seem to be working at all

Here is a link for a zip'ed file with the index.html webpage, the swf files, and the fla files. Webpage_and_Flash_Files.zip/ I am on a deadline to get this up,
I've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
I've placed this code on the root time line and it works great, however i need to print multiple MovieClips and I can't do that unless I place all of the MovieClips into one MovieClip and that's where this code stops working. This code keeps two seperate MovieClips on different layers "physically" connected while dragging one. But as soon as I place the two MovieClips into a new MovieClip "MainClip" -
_global.dragging = 0; someListener = new Object(); someListener.onMouseMove = function () { if (_global.dragging == 1) { diffx = _global.oriX_MC1 - _root.MC1._x; diffy = _global.oriY_MC1 - _root.MC1._y; _root.MC2._x = _global.oriX_MC2-diffx; _root.MC2._y =

i imported some sound into my movie, and since doin that my preloader only shows when its about 60% percent done, any one know how to make it show from the start?also my sound controls are contain in a movie clip wich slides down when u roll over, using hit tests, when u lower the volume down it works fine, but when the controls slide back up, and then u roll over again the volume is the same, but the slider is back at the top, any ideas?

View 1 RepliesI've been building a website in flash for the first time and I'm struggling how to get the links working, this is how I've been doing, putting the whole file name into the link under options then link, the links when i open the swf files don't work at all. But the htmp pages work on my computer but on an other computer the links don't work cos I have linked the html pages to my folder on the computer I'm working on.
View 11 RepliesI'm having problems with flash debugging on Mac OS. It crashed at various points regardless if I'm using the projector debugger or browser plugin (regardless of browser).
The only common denominator I see is that a method seemingly in the debugging code is causing a security sandbox violation with localhost, and then everything crashes.
P.S. Tried both 9 and 10 debuggers
Where is it that I have to add the link to have the e-mail work? Is it in the action script or the up over down hit?

i have created some flash banners with a url embedded in them, so when they are placed on a web page the banner links through to my website when clicked. Fairly simple.But, i tested them on a website on my server to link to another website on the server and they worked fine. When i gave them to a client to embed on their own website (the flash files are hosted on my server still), the links no longer work.
Is this a security issue to stop the links working? i also checked it in linux and the banners worked, but in windows they do not. I dont want the client to have their own local copy of the flash file, as i may update it in the future and dont want to chase up lots of different copies everywhere.
I have CS3 movie that opens links to other sites.It works fine when publshed to the web server but when I test it locally (opening it from my own files) the links don't work - is this a security settings issue? I tried opening settings manager and "allowing" files for that file location but it didn't fix it.
View 2 RepliesMy website links and 2 out of 6 pdf's don't load when I test the movie in Dreamweaver.As far as I can tell everything is correct and all of the names are correct.Each button has an instance name and has been modified.Are there any other possibilities? Here is a sample of the script
menventures.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menventuresurl)
function menventuresurl (evtObj:Event):void {var menventures:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://menventures.com/");flash.net.navigateToURL(menventures, "_blank");trace("The menventures button was clicked");}
I have 6 buttons, for some reason only the first button(my_home) works
my_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked1);
function myBtnClicked1(e:MouseEvent):void {var url:String = "http://www.weedwarriors.co.uk/";var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

I have several external SWFs loading into another SWF shell that contains all the files. The problem that I am running into is when some of the external SWF's are loaded into the shell the links stop working. I am using the getURL script to call a javascript function on one link and the same getURL on another link to call the mailto function.
When I test these files on my system and the web, both individually and in the shell, everything works perfectly. However, as soon as I embed the shell SWF into an html page these links don't work and won't do anything. But other links in different external SWF using the getURL script to simply navigate to another html page works perfectly.
My problem is that I just recently start working on the company website. They a have menu bar on the side of the website. Some of the links dont work. Where would I find the hyper links in the file to change them to make them work?
View 5 RepliesI have built a site for a client using AS2 which contains links to streaming mp3s. The audio loads and runs just fine in Safari but malfuntions/doesn't even play in other browsers.
Here is the site in question: [URL].. I'm hoping that one of you lovely gurus out there can help me resolve this problem. If needed, I can supply the .fla.
I am building a website through flash. For the past couple of weeks all of the links have been working fine up until now. I have no idea what I could have possibly done to make this happen. In HTML none of the links work. They are all linked up fine, I even re-linked some of them. Nothing happens. The buttons do nothing.
View 7 RepliesI use Flash 8.I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great.
The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.

Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)

Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work.
I created a flash movie and published it to get the html file and the swf. The html file works fine on my local computer that I created it on but I went to email the html file with the swf file, the links within the movie are not working?
View 7 RepliesI am creating a flipbook application for a magazine. I am using Flash CS4(AS3) to build a navigation interface which contains a UILoader that loads magazine pages in SWF format created by InDesign CS5.Initially I was loading one large SWF file for the magazine pages. Internal links on the table of contents worked great but the load time was ridiculous. Now I am loading individual SWF files for each spread (adjacent pages) and the load time is great, however the links on the table of contents no longer work, which I expected.
The links still appear to be on the page however they don't appear to do anything. I have managed to interrogate the display list objects within the SWF file and the links appear to be of SimpleButton type. Some are even recognized as having HTML significance, they are given an instance name of "Hlnk#" instead of just "Instance#".I think my problem is that I can't/don't know how to get to the event that is triggered by the link/SimpleButton object. If I could see what page it is referencing I could load it.
I have my parent swf created with the external swfs loading properly.once they are loaded, the links within the externally loaded swf's are not working. Here is the code I am using:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("first");
//End Behavior

On the client's three computers, 2 pc and 1 mac the links inside flash do not work. I have a text field with text and a simple link inside like [URL] and it's going to a blank window.
