The first keyframe of each product has the following actions attached on top of a hot spot linking outbound:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.site.com/product01");
}
[code]......
Using AS3, how can I attach links to outbound websites? I have a button graphic dragged onto the timeline. It is meant to function much like a "hot spot". So, I would like to attach the script to the button so that it will link to another website when clicked upon. But where do I add the script in AS3, and what is that script to be? ~ For example, do I need to go into edit mode where I see the 4 states, or can I simply attach it to the main timeline? - I'm looking to do whatever's the simplest!
Also, the button is called myButton in my library...can I use that same button for everywhere I want to add an outbound link to different websites, or am I going to have to change the name for every different link? For example, myButton02, myButton03? I'm hoping to use the same graphic button, and hoping the timeline will understand and follow the script instead of being confused and all links wind up going to the same site.

I'm building a site to showcase various engagement tools for the web. Most of what is involved is new to me. My biggest challenge is finding the right AS3 code to make buttons link to URLs. when I try to duplicate it and change the btn name, in order to make two, or three or four separate links to four unique buttons I get an error about trying to call the same function more than once. This is her code and as I said it works for one button link. Can it be made to work for multiple instances?
inv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com")); trace("I'm clicked");}
Right now all of my links use the Properties text link feature, which continues to deliver target=blank function despite my having deleted the target and saved and republished way more than once.

Gotta question about the combo box component included w/Flash MX 2004... The thing I'm trying to do is make a list/combo drop down navigation, so that when the user drops down the box and selects that item they are taken to another .html page... I have populated the box using and array by using the .push method & bound the data box via the .dataProvider method...

I'm writing a small game app in Flash, and I'm wondering what the benefits of having one giant SWF loading everything vs multiple webpages and multiple SWF's.
View 1 RepliesThis probably a stupid question, but I really can't figure it out.But I'm creating a XML Flash site. I can easily edit text and such with the XML file, but I'm trying to imbed a youtube video on the second page of the site, but for the life of me I cannot locate the second page in the .fla file.How can I locate allt he pages within the site? I've tried moving the 'playhead' but that didn't work.I found what I think is the menu that contains the links to the differnet pages in the site. But how do I go into the different items to view/edit the contents.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a personal portfolio website using Flash CS4. Understand that there are a number of ways to create web pages using Flash. One way is to create separate swf files for the web pages and load them when the web page is requested. Another way is to put the pages in separate frames in the same swf file or to use scenes and use gotoAndPlay(). Another possible way is to create separate movie clips for the web pages.

View 7 RepliesI've been asked to write a standalone slideshow app which supports images (jpg, etc), video (divx, avi) and webpages (embedded html, rss).
I've done some digging and it looks like flash with flash air could be used to produce a standalone app which would run on both windows and Linux.
Before I start this long (and difficult) process, are my assumptions correct?
I am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.

I have a flash file with several layers, each composing of a single movie clip which slides in over the layer below it. The movie clips are nothing more than static images. I would like to make it so that each "slide" links to a different URL.I am new to AS3, and I am just getting back on the flash wagon with this little banner rotating project, so I'm a bit confused with why layers, and timeline positioning seem to be effecting the links.I found a few tutorials online, and can manage to make one link on the bottom layer work, but when I try to expand the code and the file to create links from different movie clips on different layers, I run into problems. when I add the action script for the other buttons, the movie will fail to play by it's self on load. I can get this to work with ode:this.gotoAndPlay(1)at the top of the ActionScript But none of the other links work.Here is what I am using for more than one link:
Code:
backpacks.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {

I have a movie created in Premiere Pro 1.5 and plan on exporting it in Flash format. The flash video will be stored on my server and linked from other web pages. The idea is to have the video open up in it's own window and not a full sized window. I have seen a variety of differnt display "players" on various web pages.
Do I have to use software outside of Premiere Pro to do this (Such as Flash CS4 Pro) or is this a matter of link coding with reference to the file location?
I'm trying to pull data from an XML file into a TextArea to take advantage of the scroll bar capabilities.I have two XMLLists, XListCopy & XListURLs. XListCopy is basically a list of words that need to be on their own line. While the XListURLs are the respective links for those words.Since at the moment, I'm using appendText obviously any links will be merged into one. Is there any way to separate each & make each clickable?
View 11 RepliesI have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL.

we have a project that will be using a flash based 'flip book' to display approximately 3000 products.
The issue is that there needs to be a button placed on each product that will link to the main website.
With out publishing 3000 buttons with different actionscripted links, is there a more automated way to do this?
I'm working on a project for a client and I'm doing something I have never done in Flash. The Flash first loads four images that have been converted to buttons. Those four by itself link correctly, but when I add the code for the next two sets of images the code breaks and none of the links work. I'm not sure what to do. Here is the code for the first two sets of images:
The last two links cause a problem. I get Error 1120 access of undefined object. However, when I click the button and look in the properties box it says Instance of BTN_Adult01 and Instance of BTN_ModelFemale so I'm not sure what the problem is.
I tried to paste my source code but it won't let me because it contains links and I don't have enough posts, but I did attach the file.
I have kind of a follow up question what would the procedure be if I had like a slide show and each slide when you clicked on it there would be multiple links this is the code I have so far: My slideshow instance names are pic_000_mc to pic_004_mc

I know there is a better and more efficient way to do this then to have all five different functions and listeners.
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.

However, when uploaded to the server and dropped into the HTML with the proper plug-ins, the links suddenly cease to function.

I am using the basic but usually effective:
