Professional :: Creating A Link And/or A Function?
Apr 29, 2011
So I've gone through a few different websites looking for a way to make a symbol a link, and I keep running into the same problem. I am using action script 3.For example, I got this code from this page:[url]....[code]......
It makes the symbol (logolink) a link (changed the mouse cursor to a pointer), but it kills my animations and errors out saying (all on line 4...the function callLink line): "expecting leftparen before colon", "expecting identifier before leftbrace", and "expecting rightparen before leftbrace".I tried a few things like adding an unused parameter, and a couple other things (trying to satisfy the above errors), but then I get "call to possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class"
which doesn't work! I just put this in on assuming that flash would pick up the pdf on my desktop but it cannot open the pdf when you click on the link.
I 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:
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 to make a a hyperlink from selected area over an external loaded swfI load the swf inside of scrollpane, but how can I let the user to create this area as big as he wants and how can I get its position after?
I'm trying to learn how to use xml, and I really like this tutorial http:[url]..My question is how would I write my action script to allow the text (First Name, Last Name, GPA) to open up a link? I wrote this into the xml file & I don't know if it is right. Original Code:
Code: <student first="James" last="Johnson" gpa="3.3" </> My Code:[code]....
I have created a small movie in Flash (.fla file) to sit within a website, but I would like to be able to click on to it at any point and for it to link to a website. What would be the best way in which to do this?
im trying to create a button that will (once clicked) go to another .fla file .. can it be done ? searched everywhere can just find out how to create buttons that direct to a URL which i already knw how to do..
full sketch is ive created a flash video intro and at the bottom a button appears "enter" once clicked i need it to go to the main .fla file .
I absolutely love the carousel however in the item description I would like to have html links. I have tried the following: FLASH: theText.html = true; <<< i added this to the main AS code import mx.utils.Delegate; ETC.....
XML: <icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="LimeWire" content="LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Gnutella network. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. Limewire was the first file sharing program Java installed <a href="[URL]">orchard</a>."/> I also just added the standard html link into the xml. However all that loads is the background content, the main carousel refuses to load.
I'm doing a site that needs to download an mp3 sample clip from the serverwhen a text link is clicked. The whole site is in Flash and am using MX. Tried the getURL > didn't work. Saw a tutorial here but that oneplays the mp3 file right away. I want the user to be able to save the fileto their hard disk and play it from there.
i understand that you have to have a .zip file usually to force a browser to download the file using the getURL command to the URL of the .zip file. But when i have a link in a pop-up page, it just gives me a error 404 page
so far the AS looks like this
on (press){ getURL(www.troyblank.com/download/beeswax.zip); }

Why creating a text link to a .as hosted on my site creates a 404 error? If I change it to .txt it works fine but I'd really like the user to be able to open the file directly into Flash.
I have a movie that is going to be playing in our onLine Learning Site. I want to include a link to download a few documents, and I just don't know how to do that.I do Not KNOW what the complete HTTP url will be, just the directory path by that I mean, I know the files will be in "VideoFilesHighRes1.MOV" but I don't have access to the complete URL. This isnt a problem when it comes to loading other Flash objects (IE sounds, different clips etc) For some reason I didn't think the "getURL" request was valid in AS 3.0.....
i have a created full flash site and i m ready to upload it on a my server But i want to add a download link to a pdf file in my Site can i just do it by simply adding the following A.S. to the button
a code for creating a simple link between files on my computer using flash cs4? Im trying to link sperate swf files within the folder. Im trying to make a cd and i have 5 sperate swf files that need to link to each other and back to the home page which is also a seperate swf file.
I have created a flash sit in flash pro. On one of my pages i have a bunch of thumbnails that i want to be able to scroll through and click on and have it open another browser window to an html page I have created.I have placed all the button individually in a motion clip, so I can fade them onto the page when I go to it, and I then have selected all the buttons and changed them to motion clips so I can scroll them.
I created an action file and placed it in its own layer in the first motion clip that all the buttons are on.I am getting access of undefined property errors on all the buttons when I debug.Below is what I have written, I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I am new to this.
// Includes and Imports. import flash.net.navigateToURL; import flash.net.URLRequest;
make a similar menu like this site: [URL] look on the left side, when you click it it goes down and the other items just close and what my boss wants is that when you click something the link changes colors so it will be determined that your on that page my menu consists of a main menu then a sub menu then a sub sub menu
I have a function that has a site pop up when the user clicks on a button. This works well except it goes until the frame that has the command stop(). Is there any way to have this function continue on, even when that frame says stop? Or is there a different command besides stop that allows this function to work up to and including that frame?
The stop() command is on frame 90.
I tried gotoAndPlay(88) and it gives the user the mouse hand, but nothing pops up.
In the Actionscript 3.0 Language and Components Reference > All Classes > TextField Class > Properties > htmlText HTML tags supported table, the description of the anchor tag has this sentence: "You can use the link event to cause the link to execute an ActionScript function in a SWF file instead of opening a URL." I don't understand how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? Or, can someone point me to an example or reference that explains how to execute an ActionScript function in a SWF file using the link event?
I have researched actionscript buttons for a project and came across a really nice one, which uses XML. However, the action generated by releasing the button opens a webpage, which is not what I want. I want it to run a function.I have tried several different things to no avail..The actionscript is this:
I want to make link from a dynamic text(in flash project) to an external swf i created(a gallery that is controlled by xml file). This is the code of first frame of my fla project:
url="edit"; loadVariablesNum(url + "_main.html",0); _root.link=1; function linkgal() { loadMovieNum("gal_car.swf", 1);
So I'll be honest, I am very new to Flash. I have CS5.5 and I am trying to animate some images that I made in Photoshop in Flash. I would like to use tools such as the Bone tool on them but I have gotten almost every error feedback such as "cannot be applied to stroke" and "cannot link bitmap" and "cannot link group objects". I have been messing around with it quite a bit. My file is .swf and I do ungroup it but now when I use the bone tool on it, the entire image turns white.
Previously I have had problems where the picture would not disappear but my drawing would move back a bit and I could only see it through the movable window given by the bone tool in the shape of my picture. Another problem was when I used the Bone tool, the image would split into four flipped sections and not stay together. I assume this had to do with when I tried to "break apart" my image, but something similar happened on an unbroken non-bitmap image.
Basically I have a movieclip with a load of buttons in it which will all eventually lead to different movieclips. When a button is pressed I want a movieclip to appear and play. The movieclip is on the stage.The problem i have is that when i click the link, this error message appears in the Output tab:
Quote:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at plumonicconsonants_fla:ulmonicconsonants_1/buttonClick()
So far my code is
Code: import flash.events.MouseEvent; pbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonClick); function buttonClick(e:Event):void
Is it possible in Flash to set a hyperlink (in a textField), and then have that link run a function within Flash (not Javascript)?I know one can easily launch a URL via a text link, or even run a Javascript function, but what about a function in Flash?
I am creating a gallery type site, I am loading xml data externally creating duplicate movie clips and it all works fine, my only problem is I want them to go to a URL, I have one of the nodes with the URL and in my actionscript I am calling a function to getURL on press, the problem is on each separate movieclip it links to the URL of the last movieclip in the stack.
I have problem with creating e-mail link in my Flash CS4 program. The problem is that when i create button i cant attach any actions to him. It was not a problem for me in flash 4 i was working before. The movie is in Action script 3.0.
