Is it not possible to have selectable text turned on when you are making a link or button?
View 2 RepliesTrying to make it so when you click anywhere on the flash file, it loads a specific website. It works when I go to File > Preview > Flash, but if I try and preview in html it doesn't navigate anywhere. My actionscript is:
Code:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void {

I am pulling my hair out trying to make my simple flash file link to a URL and nothing I have tried will work. I am making a transparent box on the top layer of my file, making it a movie clip and adding the code
on (press){
getURL("http://www.trimergence.com/staging/news.html");
}
The action says it has no errors, but when I export the move, my cursor turns to a hand but goes no where when I click.
I am creating this animation. When you click on a button I want it to use facebox to use a pop up. I was talking to my coder friend and he gave me this code to maybe useSo I am trying to basically use this kind of coding into flash. The only thing is that I am not that great a coding so I have no idea what I am doing. The only coding that I have is a stop (); at the end of the animation so it doesn't loop.
View 1 RepliesI have created a small application which takes it's information from an xml file and displayes it in a news ticker which is a flash Flash AS2 application. tell me the correct way to format the link tag in the xml if there is a standard when wanting to state a target for the link? The xml file currently looks like:
<newsTicker>
<item>
<header>Test Message 1</header>[code]....
So what I want to do is to be able to open the link in a taget=_blank window however adding that to the end of the url does not currently work.I have added a comma and also tried using a space, space and encompassing in quotes but none are working.
I have two copies of an image (one called blurPic_mc & one called sharpPic_mc) and I want to be able to move both of them around the screen togethe I need them to stay exactly on top of each other for some other functions I am running but right now the only one that moves is the top one (sharpPic_mc).I included my code below.
sharpPic_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,Click);
sharpPic_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,Release);
function Click(event:MouseEvent):void{

how do you link(code) your swf pages to each other (through buttons) when making a flash site or portfolio?
View 5 RepliesSo I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?

Flash newbie here. I wanted to create a basic flash countdown widget to use on a site I run so I started googling and found a template I liked. After messing around with it and whipping up a quick background in Photoshop, I got something that looked decent. The template uses Action Script 2.0, but it seems to work ok. I went through it and customized the date and countdown text color so I don't have to use any variables in the embed code.
The problem I am facing now is I want the whole flash file to be a link in case someone else takes it and decided to embed it on their site, it at least links back to mine. I put an invisible rectangle over the whole project and inserted this AS

View 1 RepliesIm 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 need to make a label in flex as if you click on it you can open a specific URL let us say Google.

I have a swf embedded into a site, and I want the swf to be clickable so when you click on it it goes to another page. I tried wrapping the whole flash object in tags, and that makes it clickable but the biggest problem I'm having is when you roll over it with the mouse the pointer icon doesn't come up, it just looks like the regular arrow. I tried playing with the css and doing cursor:pointer, but it still doesn't work. I can edit the .fla file and add some actionscript 2.0 to it, but I'm not sure what to add or where. I'd rather do it through html or css, but if I have to do it in flash that's ok too. Also, I have an invisible button over the whole thing called, MYbtn

View 1 RepliesI have recently purchased a XML based template and need to make an existing XML link goto an internal menu page. I have been able to create buttons in the flash template itself using action script with no problems. In my site I have several buttons that say more, so in the XML document it has these internal links, asfunction:_root.more_click_func,1. So what I am trying to do is have thiese links goto the contact page, so I assumed it was simple as directing the asfunction to the internal menu which is 6 but it doe snot work.
asfunction: "6"
asfunction: contact
I am trying to figure out how to make buttons on my flash file link to URLs that appear in a window of fixed dimensions (with scroller bars) next to my Flash window. I am aware that Adobe has instructions for creating pop-up browser windows through Flash [URL]. However, what I'm trying to do is a bit more complicated, since I want to have multiple embedded invisible buttons in the Flash window that each take you to a specific URL when you click on them. Alternatively I'd be happy if any button click resulted in a link to a random selection from a pre-programmed list of URLs. This is for ActionScript 3.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple text animation but the background won't go away from my exports. I need to make a movie file (.avi or .mov) and nothing is letting me remove the white space in the background.Things I have tried:
Go to Publish settings > HTML > Window mode: Trasparent Windowless
Result: White background remains
Make a .mov and in Quicktime Export Settings checkmark Ignore Stage Color (generate alpha)
Result: This time, everything was black (text was black too so it probably blended withthe background[code].....
So far nothing works so what is the deal with flash not comprehending with a clear background in movie files?
Don't ever tell me that its the window mode set to transparent in the html setting in publish settings and don't tell me I need to change the html code of the published product in dreamweaver because I don't have dreamweaver.How is one to make an swf file file that has no background in it without Dreamweaver and without a publish setting that doesn't work?After that can be answered, how then are you to make an avi. file thats transparent?How do you edit your discussion so I don't have to post the same topic twice with new information?
