View 1 RepliesI have a dynamically generated menu populated by two arrays, "menuTitles" and "menuLinks." Everything works great except the onRelease command. I get "undefined" instead of the contents of the array element (should be an HTML link). If I hard code the array element (menuLinks[1]) it works, but as it is, I just keep getting undefined.
function generateMenu() {
menuLength = menuTitles.length;
var currItem:MovieClip;
for (var i:Number = 0; i<menuLength; i++) {
currItem = emptyMovie.attachMovie("menuItem", "item"+i, i);

View 1 RepliesI 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 in a bit of a bind here i am struggling to link my xml links to flash buttons. Here is my xml:

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 have been designing an AS2 site for he last 2 months and i have some links to external sources on the site. The only problem is when i try to access those links from the movie or even from the browser it just pops that error message...How do i get rid of this error!
The error reads: Adobe Flash Player has stopped a petential unsafe operation. the following local application on your computer or network: M:path...is trying to access with this internet-enabled location: [URL]
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.

View 3 RepliesI 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?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set the rotation of an object via an input textbox for debugging purposes. Currently I have the object working when it changes rotation automatically. A variable is reset every few seconds to a random number between -180 and +180 and then the rotation of the object changes to match the variable. However different things are meant to happen when the rotation variable is set at varying degrees so I rehashed the code so that instead of being a random number it responds to the variable in an input textbox.
Now... I set up the input textbox with the variable, and a dynamic textbox to show me the rotation set for the object. however every time I enter a variable in the input textbox the set-rotation changes to "Undefined". Am I supposed to add some kind of a "Submit entered number" button somehow. In the past when I have used input textboxes the number is processed automatically.
E.g.. dynamic textbox is 5*variable.
Enter #number. As you type input- the number appears inside the dynamic textbox
I even added a longer delay. The number in the dynamic textbox IS CHANGED with no resulting change in the rotation of the object. As the time countdown loop comes to a close (After every 9 seconds set rotation to input box) the text instantly changes to "Undefined".
The latest versions of firefox and Safari both cannot display email links. For some reason they don't parse ou the "mailto:".

View 54 RepliesI have a textbox where there should be a 1 to 5 star classification for a movie, so I used the star symbol (character code 0xAB) from the Wingdings Symbol Font. But instead of the stars, What I get is double angular quotes in Arial, the corresponding character in a normal text font: «
In fact, every Wingding character above 0x80 (included) is displayed in Arial instead of Wingdings. This also seems to happen with all Symbol fonts.
I've also made Wingdings into a font symbol but the problem still happens. It also happens in static text boxes.
To reproduce the error just make a text box and set the font to Wingdings. Now type something and it shows in Wingdings but press ALT+0171 (or copy the star from the Character Map app) and instead of a star, you get double angular quotes.
