ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Get _self To Work On URLRequest
Aug 20, 2010I've cobbled together a website for the family business using Flash CS4, but I'm having real trouble getting two interlinked .swf's to open in the same window. By the time you go from the homepage to the gallery and back to the homepage, you've got 3 tabs in the browser. How can I fix this? Here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
button4.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]....
The code is the same (different URL, obviously) for both links, but they open new tabs every time.
EDIT: It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe it didn't upload right when I put it on the FTP. So all is well now!

Professional :: Flash Player 11.3 - Button Cursors Do Not Work Server Side
Oct 13, 2011I have Flash CS5.5 I just uploaded an swf with a few button instances I got the msg that I needed to update my Flash player so I did. After that when I went to test the swf I get no button cursors on any buttons in the swf. The buttons work when I press on them but there is no cursor. If I publish the file locally the cursors are there, I made a few different fla's with test buttons to make sure and they all do the same thing. The publishing settings are set for 10.2 , this seems to have happened once I got the new Flash player 11.3.

Apr 12, 2010I'm trying to use navigateToURL with the "_self" parameter for a website navagation menu, but all I ever get is the url opening in a new window or new tab (depending on what browser you are using). What I would like is if it opens in the same window within the browser. For html validation purposes; I'm using a javascript ufo 3.22 (unobtrusive flash objects) method of embed. Here is my AS3 code which is in a standalone file (hope I got all necessary import packages included).

Professional :: Button Lnks Don't Work?
Feb 25, 2010For some reason I can't get my buttons to link to a URL. The file was created in Flash CS3 and I'm working in CS4. I'm still a newbee. Seems by the time I finally figure Flash out, it's time to learn it all over again. Getting familiar with AS, but still have along way to go. Anyway when I apply either these scripts to a button the url launches without ceremony or not at all when I preivew it. Probably something brain dead, I'm sure.
AS2.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://www.http://www.linkedin.com/connections?trk=hb_tab_cnts.com");};
AS3linkedBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.http://www.linkedin.com/connections?trk=hb_tab_cnts.com));}
Errors: Line 2 - The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded. Line 1 - Statement must appear within on handler
Professional :: Can't Get Any Button To Work On Some Frames?
May 6, 2010I have a movie that I have been working on.There is a simple animation/intro and then a main frame with several buttons set up to jump ahead to other frames.There are 4 buttons and they all work just fine and go to the respective frame with no problems.
My problem is in trying to add a button to one of those frames. I can't get any button to work on any of those frames at all. I tried to add a "home" button that jumps back to the main frame, but that wouldn't work. So, I tried to copy the main frame and move it ahead on the time line but that didn't work either. I tried to add buttons for the other frames as well and no button would work (regardless of where it was referenced) on those other frames.Here is the error message I keep getting:
Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Professional :: Button Does Not Work Inside Movie Clip?
Oct 6, 2010On the about page of my Flash website, I wanted 7 buttons to navigate to various labels. I just finished the first button. I made it while I was inside the about_mc. It worked well but would NOT navigate. I took the button OUT of the Movie clip and made a separate layer on the about page for buttons and pasted it there and it worked perfect. When I made it inside the mc, is there some different code I should have used other than the standard code for making a button navigate to a frame. I built an addeventlistener and a function. BUT they only worked when the button was "ON TOP" of the mc NOT when it was INSIDE the mc. I have a transition tween on the about_mc and therefore the button does not tween when it is on TOP of the mc only when it is inside the mc.
var aboutTween:Tween = new Tween(about_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -200, 146, 3, true);

Flash :: Button Doesn't Work When Used With Dreamweaver CS4
May 3, 2009I am a student trying to learn how to take multimedia elements from one class and put them on a webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. From an online tutorial, I created start/stop buttons with ActionScript3 URLRequest to reference a sound file. The swf works fine when played; it plays from the html generated by flash but when I use Dreamweaver CS4 > insert > media > swf and then preview page in browser (firefox), the button doesn't do anything. When I compare the html page generated by flash to the html created by Dreamweaver, they look completely different. I don't have a clue what to do next.
