Professional :: Hotlinks Keep Changing/breaking In Textfield Hyperlink?
Apr 15, 2011
I'm trying to link out to other websites using a simple textfield with the text options - link, and a destination, _blank. It's a large document and I'm adding to it daily. The problem is, when I return to flash, and make changes in other places, the earlier links I had in place change. [URL] explain to me why this is happening and how to prevent it? It's incredibly frustraing, stupid.Here is a link to the project. [URL]
I want to do is add a simple hyperlink in my xmlhtml hyperlink in my xml.how to do a hyperlink in xml.This is what I do know,you can add the <a href="http:[url]...but that does not work for me,when i save and preview my fla, it takes away my scroll bar that i have.I have also seen somwhere you can use the <?[[DATA tag, but this aswell doesnt work for me in my FLA, is there somewhere i need to reference hyperlinks before I can modify my xml?
I'm having a really weird problem with the MOUSE_OVER event. I'm building dynamic tabs representing mp3 songs containing textfields with info and a dynamic image for the cover art. I am trying to get a simple MOUSE_OVER working over the whole tab, such that you can select the next song to play.
I am using a Sprite with alpha 0 that overlays my whole tab (incl. the textFields) as a Listener for MOUSE_OVER and _OUT... I've checked by setting the alpha to something visible and it indeed covers my tab and follows it around as I move it (just making sure I'm not moving the tab without moving the hotspot). Also, I only create it once my cover art is loaded, ensuring that it will cover that too.
Now, when the tab is in the top position, everything is dandy. As soon as I move the tab to make space for the next tab, the textFields break my roll behaviour... just like that noob mistake of overlaying a sprite over the one that you're listening for MouseEvents on. But... the roll area is still on top of the field, I've set selectable and mouseEnabled to false on the textFields... nothing.
I am trying to create buttons that will replace the text in a text field.The text field is "Staff_Copy".The buttons are "Staff_Saam_btn", "Staff_Nicolas_btn", "Staff_David_btn", and "Staff_Anthony_btn".
//Code in frame 1 of timeline var Staff_Copy_Value:Number = 0;[code]................
This doesn't work.Whatever the initial value of the variable "Staff_Copy_Value" is will determine the text in the field.So if I use the value 0 as in the above, whatever is in the textfield on the stage shows.If I use 1,2,3, or 4 then the text strings in the defined variables shows up.What am I missing.I am assuming it is has to do with the onEnterFrame command.How do I make the movie keep checking the value of "Staff_Copy_Value"?
I'm trying to create hyperlinks within TextFields by using a combination of plain text and the getCharIndexAtPoint method of the TextField object.
I've got everything nailed down except for the handCursor. To solve this problem I decided to place the TextField within a Sprite container and have the MOUSE_MOVE event attached to the TextField signal to its parent [Sprite container] that it should modify its buttonMode, useHandCursor, and mouseChildren properties to allow the hand cursor to be displayed, which I'm happy to say does work.
Unfortunately when I set the mouseChildren to false and the buttonMode and useHandCursor to true. The TextField within the Sprite container stops tracking the mouse...which I understand why but was wondering if there's some other combination that would allow me to do what I need to do?
I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code: myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){ // Change color }
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.
I am working on a project where I need to show a wooden board and have the user pick a place on the board and somewhat realistically (at least believable) simulate the board breaking and shattering at that point. The final product will need to run on a mobile platform so performance is an issue.I have already experimented a bit and have a movie clip board which is composed of predetermined pieces and I used a tween to move the pieces apart. The main problem is that the way the board breaks and where it breaks are predetermined
I'm currently working on combining a bunch of movieclips with variating color schemes that I'd like to condense into a unified pallete. Breaking apart a movieclip reverts the graphics to the original colors but it would be super-helpful if flash repasted the current color settings onto the graphics once its broken apart. Maybe implementing a few of illustrators color palette tools would be great too. If this isn't the proper place, then I apologize but I wanted to pass the info along as an artist who is currently using flash as his primary art development tool right now.
I have a .png image of all 44 US presidents, I'm trying to figure out how I could break it apart so that each president can be clicked on. I'm a fairly experienced actionscript programmer, have done some game development work in the developer role but never in the design/UI role, thus I'm not great (or even good!) at some of the beginner stuff regarding UI. I was thinking I could use the lasso tool to select an area, then somehow make that selection into a grapic or movie clip symbol, but I can't seem to get that to work and I'm wasting a lot of time experimenting!
This slideshow used to work fine, until you install 10.1. I run it in the Flash CS4 and CS5 IDEs and it works fine. Does the Flash CS5 IDE use the 10.1 player? If not, how can I make it?

you can see the SWF here:I'm trying to make some of the text in the SWF hyperlinksBelow is some of the XML -- how and where do I add the code to link?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><root difference="10"><node><year>1970</year> <text>Stephen Galvano installed as pastor at 421 Child St. </text> <pic>1</pic></node> <node><year>1971</year> <text>The Inaugural International Missions Convention. </text>
I have a movie that, at the end, has an image that can be clicked to go to a site. I need to change the URL and have no idea where to proceed. So far, I have found the object in the library and it's called a "sprite" and has something in the "linkage" field next to it. I've right clicked on it and tried both the Edit and Properties options and can't find what I am looking for anywhere.
I'm new to Flash. I have edited a video in Final Cut Pro which is exported. At the end of the video, I would like to say 'Click here & have a website address.' Can I do this with flash..Is it a fairly easy process?
I am currently using CS4 flash and have designed a banner. I cannot get a hyperlink to work when you click on the banner. I have tried multiple action scripts and have no idea.
When I test the movie my hyperlink works fine, but when I publish it, doesn't work. I'm not experienced with ActionScript. Here are some screen shots of what I got...
I do not know really anything about ActionScript. I have completed a tut on it but that is all. I am trying to make a hyperlink from a classic arcade button but the code I found is apparently from AS2.
I have 4 swfs that I have exported from flash, all containing clickable links. By themselves, the links work just fine. However, I have a "Main" movie that I am trying to import the 4 swf files into. They import fine and I have no problems except that when I test/export the movie the links in the original swf files no longer work.
I have created a button, and once you hit the button (within the HTML page), I want it to open another HTML page in the same frame, both HTML pages are stored in my hard drive offline. It required coding in the code snippet panel which I do not know.
Is it possible to add a ClickTag for tracking purposes to dynamic text (hyperlink) in a scrollbar box in Flash CS5? I have ever only added a ClickTag to a button and/or banner before.
I have been handed a clients project that goes live tomorrow from the boss who just fired the guy who was working on it. I AM NOT A FLASH EXPERT! If you can walk me through step by step how to do this,I have a Flash (AS3) intro homepage, the index page is already written and setup. A Mask and fill approach was used to create the animated effect in which the text gradually appears. In order to do the fill, the text 'Home' 'About' 'Works' 'Contacts' are all broken apart text (i.e. (H)(O)(M)(E)) Here's what I need to do and would not even know where to start. How do I convert each of the words which are made up of broken text, into navagation buttons as hyperlinks to the other documents in the page (i.e. convert (H)(O)(M)(E) into HOME which you can click on and be taken to index.htm)
I want to change the color of many text fields at once. I created an array, then a for each loop where I datatype the var to a TextField. For some reason, Flash reads this variable as a String, so I can't change the text field's color.
I created dynamic Textfield using flash interface and named it "score". Now im trying to change its text in actionscript during runtime, but some strange things happen... Anyway the text is not changing. Other properties are OK , but i cant change the text.
I want to change the text in textfield1 with the inputted text in textfield2..for example, the text in textfield1 is "HELLO" i want to make it "HI" by inputing "HI" in textfield2 after clicking the change button the "HELLO" text will replace by "HI"
I want to change the text in textfield1 with the inputted text in textfield2..
for example, the text in textfield1 is "HELLO" i want to make it "HI" by inputing "HI" in textfield2 after clicking the change button the "HELLO" text will replace by "HI"
i need to change the text in a combo box to TLF because i am loading data from an XML and it is a rtl language, how can i either make the original text field invisible and add a tlf or simply replace them? i tried to do it through skinning but i cant find the text field???
