Professional :: Flash Flipbook Links Not Working?
Dec 12, 2011
I 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 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.

I 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)
#1
on (release) {getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html");
}

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 am very new to Flash and actually our graphic designer created this small flash timeline here:[URL]..For some reason when I test it in Firefox the Close button and the links do not work. Also I know of one person who has the same issue in IE. Most others using IE have no problem what so ever. The actionscript for the close button is:

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 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 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,

My 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 a presentation that I created for a client. The presentation is supposed to work locally on anyone's computer. It works perfect on mine. 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. These won't even pop up a window for my client on any computer, why? He has the lastest Flash players and we created an html link below the flash movie in the html page just to make sure he could launch a popup that way and the html link below the flash movie worked fine.

I've created a flipbook in Flash. It pretty much looks the way I want it to except for one thing. On the 3rd and 4th page I've created a spread where it has have a movieclip playing inside the pages. It plays fine but everytime you're about to flip to the next or previous page it keeps playing the animation inside the page. Obviously I only want it to play once. Even though I put a 'stop' function inside the movieclip it still loops the animation. It looks like I have to set a function at the top level so it disables the movieclip after the first page-flip. Is this possible? Or is there another way that I can make the animation stop looping when about to flip pages? I could only attach the actionscript in word doc as the fla and swf where too big to attach. If you're happy to look into it I can email it to you.

I tried searching for an answer but did'nt have much luck. I decided to finally learn how to do a web page in Flash and everything is progressing except for text links. I'm importing a .psd file and I keep the text as editable, the page has 5 text links plus a text logo, the logo text link works when tested (returning to the home page) but the links to the other pages do nothing.
I have tried each one seperately, pointing to both the intended page as well as the home page with no luck, the only one that I can get to work is the logo text. I have also tried grouping the text for links seperate from static text in Photoshop. I'm sure it's something simple and I'm probably over thinking things but whatever the case I can't get it to work.

I am new to Flash but am slowly teaching myself via [URL] etc I have an image that I have added to a website via a content management system and want to make certain areas of that image into links to other sites. I found this page that does the kind of thing I want to do, but it appears from looking at the source code that the person who has done this has cut the image up into several sections in order to fit it into a table: [URL] Is there a better way to achieve the same kind of effect using Flash by making ares of an image into links and keeping the image as a whole?

For some reason the links from my home page are not working on some computers (could be a PC thing). This is the basic layout of the action script used on each section's button.
I created this site on a Mac G3 with Flash 4.
