Is it possible to load a SWF into another blank SWF file and make it clickable? I have a (parent) flash which has a clickable transparent button on it and i am trying to load another external flash into this to make as clickable.
The external loading is working, but its not clickable. Without the external flash, the parent is clickable.

View 1 RepliesI was sent an swf ad for my website and when I mouseover it I get the click hand symbol but when I click a page loads with an error saying that the page cannot be found.
I tried to place an a href tag around the entire swf file but I get the same error. Is there a way to fix this without having the flash file?
I created 3 buttons in flash (biography, music, contact). Whenever you hover over them,they animate. Is there a way to make these clickable objects in Dreamweaver? I've searched and found out about the 'invisible button', but this doesn't work for me because it takes away the animation I created.
View 2 RepliesI'm building a specialized viewer application which loads external SWFs.
var content:Sprite = ...
content.addChild(loader);
I listen to my top level content Sprite MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events.The over handler hides default cursor and displays a custom (zoom) cursor.Out handler changes cursor back to default.What I want to achieve is NOT showing the zoom cursor when the mouse is over a clickable item in the externally loaded SWF like a button or textlink.The current code works perfectly for AVM1 swfs.The problem lies with loaded swfs using AS3.For these the content MOUSE_OUT is fired and instantly MOUSE_OVER is fired as well, so the cursor remains wrong.What this probably boils down to is: How to check the mouse is over a clickable child of content?
I have a pretty simple flash banner(using flash cs4) that I want ot make clickable.I am assuming I have everything correct, because when I "test movie", everything works as expected.Now comes the odd part. When I export movie, the clickable portion no longer works. Along the same lines as soon as I save the .fla file, the "test movie" no longer works.I have recreated this about 10 times now and everytime the same result. now I have it open on my computer, because as soon as I save it will no longer work.
My actionscript(3.0) code is as follows:
link_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sgurl);
function sgurl(Event:MouseEvent):void;
{[code].....
and yes I have a button with an instance name of link_btn1

View 1 RepliesI'm ultimately trying to create a flash page for an html website that has a brief five-second animation during which 3 buttons fade in (buttons then become clickable after the animation is over).
The animation part is done. Right now, I am trying to get my movie to stop and hold on the last frame, where I want to add the 3 buttons that the user can click on to take them to one 3 different html pages of my website.
All instructions that I've found online have said to create a new layer for actions, insert a keyframe on the last frame of the movie, and add stop(); in the actionscript window. However, when I have the keyframe selected, my actionscript window says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
I definitely don't have any objects selected, just the keyframe.
You can see that I have the frame (a keyframe) that I want to insert a "stop" action selected in the Actions layer. This is the first frame in which the buttons exist, and from what I can tell, I need the clip to stop on the first frame of my buttons, after my animation is over. (Still figuring out how to get the buttons to work, but will address that later...)

In the first I have a button and if somebody click on that button it goes to the second scene.In the second scene I remove the button with an image so it is not clickable.How to leave this button, but make it not clickable at all?and the second case is what if I am using just one scene in flash and want the button be clickable only once? How the actionscript will look like?

I have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.
My client is complaining that the site that will be hosting her banner is refusing to add the forwarding link to her banner (that upon clicking will redirect to her website). I'd like to know how I can add this function to the Flash CS5 banner I have designed. Also, I have a clicktag on my banner if that makes a difference.
View 3 RepliesI'm to make a clickable map divided in regions, where it is possible to see some info when you rollover the precisely defined regions, and when you click on that region > go to a specific website. Is it the best way to make this in Flash or are there other or easier ways?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a movie clip called signInBtn and one called signOutBtn initially,
signOutBtn.visible = false;
but when a user signs in
signInBtn.visible = false;
signOutBtn.visible = true;
But after I do that, I can't click the signOut movieclip. I thought it might be because the signOutBtn was under the invisible signInBtn but that is not the case.

I need to make part of a flex skin non-focusable/non-clickable, i.e. so that when the mouse clicks that part of the button, it doesn't actually get clicked. Basically, I want that part to be a shadow or highlight or background or whatever you'd like to call it.It's done somehow with drop shadows but I want to have finer control than using filters.Example code:
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" >
<fx:Metadata>

I am trying to do panning of a movieclip I have two movieclips on stage. canvasPanel_mc and mask_mc. The former is the maskee for the mask (mask_mc). Inside mask_mc there is a movieclip dragCanvas_mc. The alpha of dragCanvas_mc is set to zero. This is code that I am using:
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onStartDrag);
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onStopDrag);
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onStopDrag);

I have created a webpage with a html menu and flash embedded underneath it.The problem is, the flash movie is in an index layer of -1 and the html menu needs to sit above it in index 1 for example.If the menu sits behind the flash the buttons are inactive, if the flash sits behind the html menu, its buttons are inactive.I have a div layer for the html menu and it not as high as the flash movie, but it doesn't make a difference, its seen as sitting behind and therefore the buttons don't work.

View 1 Repliesi've been batteling with this for over a week now and i've just been unsucessful. I wonder if someone has got a better solution/theory to solve my problem I am trying to make an online product selection in flash. So the user goes from stage 1 to 6 choosing different options.
The first stage is where they choose the material. I have over 100 different materials to display! I want to put them in a database so i can update it later and also apply filters on the display page, because each thumbnail needs to store the Picture url for thumnail and main picture, the name of the material, the Price range code, the Colour description, pattern description and the material description.
How can i achieve this?! I really have looked high and low for something that stores it on one page and filters can be applied. It just needs to fill a movie clip with as many thumbnails as it finds in the DB, whilst storing the information for each thumbnail. Eventually i would like to add a button below each thumbnail which says 'select this one' which then just sets a variable to the name of the thumnail button they clicked.
-this is supposed to make multiple buttons with text(not clickable yet) -it seems to coppy over, or remove the previous myButtons[i] movieclip each time it goes through the loop. -there are 3 strings in buttonText.length -on the output i get 0,1,2 -but on the screen I only see one gradient (its only a pink box, but one problem at a time) -the box appears where roughly the 3rd button should be. -full code attached

Actually i am able to create tag cloud click-able. But its click-able only when i give h ref like [URL]. But i don want to give direct URL in href. If i use "#" instead of whole URL, then the tag cloud becomes non-click-able.
Do we have any other option to make the link click-able without giving whole URL.
