How can I make a link to my Flash file?
Like an image, I can do it like this:
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com"><img src="imagefile.png" /></a>
I've tried to put <a></a> around the Flash HTML code, but it does not work.
EDIT: I found a solution. I've just put some JavaScript into the code.
I've set up a test page in Flash:-
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.resource = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;[code]...
how do I make 'link' clickable in the flash file?
1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
How do make a HTML window open the exact size you want it to be from a button in Flash? Something with getURL maybe?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make the button to work. My button is located on the main timeline, but my action is placed inside the movie clip. So when the button on the main timeline is pressed I want flash to play frame labeled "enq" inside the movieclip. Makes any sense? The code i am using is:

How do I make a button created in CS4 flash open another page in my website?
I created the button in flash cs4 with a static state and a pulsing state on "Over" and "down" that works fine. I tried adding the following action to the button>
on (press) {getURL("aboutus.html?include=contact","_self");}
but nothing happens when I view it in live view. and all the pages exsist in the file. (Using Dreamweaver CS4 to build webpages.)
I'm creating an Entry Page slideshow here with Flash Cs3 and AS2: [URL] I'd like to be able to click on the whole slideshow (or the "Enter Site" text) to go to another page on the site, which I'm calling "[URL]." I've read various tutorials all day and tried many things, but couldn't seem to apply any "on release" action to the "Enter Site" text that would work. I even created an invisible button (putting a keyframe on just the HIT state and deleting it from the UP state), named the instance "invbutton3", and then typed in this action on the first frame and inserted a keyframe at the end of the show:

I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.
public class ContactClass extends Sprite {
public function ContactClass() {
var home_btn:Sprite = new Sprite();[code]....

View 1 RepliesI've been sent a swf file for a banner that needs to be linked to a url. I am adding this to my client's website and my client has been sent the swf and javascript to add to the page. The problem is that the javascript code is overly complex, and I'm wanting to use Jquery and Unobtrusive Flash Objects (I've not yet updated to swfobject on this site). Can I use Jquery and/or UFO (or indeed swfobject if I have to upgrade) to make the swf file link to an external url (preferably loading in a new tab/window)?
View 1 RepliesI saved as swf & got this error msg in the compiler errors: Symbol=but1,layer 4, frame=1 Mouse events are only for button instancesIn the library I checked the properties of the button and its a movies clip, I'm not sure if it will make any difference if I change to button or graphic?I would like to upload the fla and swf files but this forum doesn't seem to allow me to attach files to messages.

View 2 RepliesI have 3 movieclips, and I want them to work like buttons. It's for a website, so they need to redirect the user to a URL.
The entire flash file has 7 layers, and one of these layers is called "AS3", and is ment for all my actionscript. So, i figured if I gave the MC's an instance name, then I could write the AS3 in the "AS3"-layer. But I can't seem to get any code to work.
I'm attempting to allow only the buttons that are in my array work during MOUSE_OVER.
The tricky thing for me is identifieing more than one button in the same if statement. Does the onButtonOver function need to be in a for loop?
Code:
var myArray=[3, 4];
for (var i:int = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++) {
this["btn"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onButtonOver);
this["btn"+i].buttonMode=true;

I made some TextFields, I put EventListeners and I would like to make them act like Buttons. (tf.buttonMode = true is not very usefull)
