alright, here is the deal: i have published a .swf AND a macintosh projector file and the only thing the movie contains is one button with a link to a web page. here is my actionscript:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com");
}
i click on the button and absolutely nothing happens. has anyone ever come across something like this? is this a settings problem?

I'm currently doing a spot of error checking with a website I've made. I've found a few problems with linking from action script to an external xml document when the files are uploaded on to a server (The files work just fine off line). The site is [URL], the pages in question are the blog page [URL] Again, both seem to work fine when I preview them locally. The blog page links to an rss feed on a myspace page and the sounds page should display an mp3 player and link to an xml playlist. I've searched this forum for similar problems and found some suggestions (File sizes of content to load and file structure) but neither seem to be responsible for this problem.

the code for each button is the on(release) get url code, is their a different code i can use that will make these buttons work? here is the link to the website so you can see what I mean. the paralegal services button is the one with the drop down.

I have an swf that I created that contains links to other pages on our site. I can test this and it works fine. However, I then import that swf into my main fla's library. However, after I add it to the stage I test the main movie and the links that worked before in the imported swf no longer work. This seems like it should be a no brainer but for some reason it just isn't working.

I have a flash accordion embedded using SWFObject. The SWF and related XML file are hosted on one domain. I have about 10 sites embedding this SWF from it's hosted location, both the SWF and the XML. The accordion links to various pages of my domains. The domain in which the SWF and XML file are hosted, the links work as expected. The other domains that the SWF is not hosted on, the links do not work at all. I verified it's a cross domain issue by placing the SWF and XML files locally on each domain and they worked, but this is not how I want it setup. I attempted to use crossdomain.xml and allow access from all hosts but that didn't work either.

This works fine in IE8, it works fine in the preview in flash, but in FF/Chrome the rollovers work but the link is not clickable. Nothing happens on click. I thought this was perhaps a plug in issue, but when I loaded the movie in FF but not embeded into html it worked fine, it's only when it's embedded into html that the links won't click. The movie is here and the movie in a plain html page is here.[URL]..

Im trying to make a projector movie that links to a pdf (in the same folder) on a CD that needs to run in both windows and mac. Im able to get it to work on a pc but not on mac. here is the code for the button i used in the projector.
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "manual1.bat");
and bat file open a pdf file.so i want to do the same thing for mac, that is using the fscommand to open up a pdf in acrobat. I read messages here that use applescript but i dont understand it too well so what id like to know if possible is the applescript, what it does and do i apply it to the button in my projector or do i tell the button to look at the applescript or what? I guess thats it for now.
Following the official Shadowbox usage instructions, I appended just a few lines of CSS/JS:
[Code]....
And yet, when I click on my thumbnail, it does not generate a Shadowbox overlay. Instead, my browser follows an ordinary link to the animation. I've also tried Lightbox, Greybox, and Lightbox2, working at this problem for about twelve hours. My understanding of Javascript objects and classes is very limited. Web Development is not my career path.
I wrote a bit of actionscript to dynamically create an image gallery based on how many images are in a given directory. As of now, I've got it to display thumbnails in rows. My next step would be to get these thumbnails to link to the fullsize images.
Code:
endingNumber = new LoadVars();
endingNumber.load("end.txt", 0); //loads text file with # of images in directory
endingNumber.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success == true) {
var num1 = endingNumber.e1;
[Code] .....
So as of right now, I have a rough-looking set of thumbnails that don't function as links. is there any way to make those thumbnails act as links, using only actionscript? or, is there any better(easier) way to create a dynamic image gallery with flash so that my client will never have to open an .fla file to add more images?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a flash header for a website with the page links contained in an external .txt file, and I'm experiencing a strange problem.The site is both in English and Italian: I worked first on the english version, I modified the AS code for the new .txt file and then I saved the project with another name and translated all the text into Italian.I also changed the name of the external .txt file as well as all the page links contained therein.Problem is when I click a page link in the Italian version of the site, the links are the same of the English version; seems like the .swf file "remembers" the old links just as I never changed the file name.This is the "_urls_IT.txt" file:
