Actionscript 3 :: Text Link Event Not Working?
Jan 14, 2012
quick question regarding the TextEvent:LINK.It stopped working recently when I switched my interface and I'm not quite sure why or how to fix it.I have a movie clip which contains a text area and a scroll handler. 3 of these are added to my interface, although only 1 at a time is active in the display, depending on which tab you click.
All of that works fine, but once I change the chat object (textfield and scrollbar) in the display, it seems to stop working, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm not creating new instances all together, just adding and removing from a parent clip upon clicking different tabs.
what would be or could be causing this? As far as I can tell nothing is over or obstructing the clip containing the text field and scroll bar. The scroll bar actions work fine, which is next to the text field, however there seems to be no action going on as far as clicking links in the text field.
Edit - Textfield is selectable, I know they need to be for the event to work.

I had to do some maintenance on an older flash site I built (Flash MX, AS2.0). I have some href links in a html text. For some reason they are no longer working correctly. If you click on it, it will do nothing. If you right-click on it, a menu will open with options to Open, Open in new window, & Copy link.

I have problem with links in dynamic text box. Text is loaded from xml, text field is styled with css attached to it.
Text field is hidden until onRollOver event is triggered, when field scrolls in visible area of the stage.
Everything is working fine excepts click event is never triggered on links, while hover works (links change their color).
Movie clip with onRollOver event is higher in depth hierarchy than text field (they are overlapping). If I swap depth, so text field is with higher depth than movie clip, than on link hover, onRollOver event is lost, and text scrolls back out of the stage...
Is there a way to make link clickable if text is under movie clip with onRollOver event?

I've got a canvas within which I have a list. The renderer for this list calls upon a "Text" field, with the "link" element of this field set to a function. The "htmlText" of the field is set dynamically to a mixture of words and links. Basically the function checks to see which tag within the htmlText has been clicked and performs an event accordingly.However, you have to click the link twice for anything to happen. Whilst debugging the code I noticed that the function referenced by the "link" element isn't actually even called until the 2nd click.
<mx:Text
id="textCanvas"
width="100%"
color="0x323232"
selectable="true"
link="{lbl_link(event)}" />
I've changed the code a little bit to make it easier to follow, but the ActionScript is roughly as follows:
private function creationComplete():void {
textCanvas.htmlText = "Hello <a href='event:username'>" + username + "</a>";
}
[code]....

[URL]
The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.

When you click on a button and the animation is supposed to play foward or reverse based on which year the user is currently on and which they are selecting. Going forward is no problem However I don't know how to link the button event to the onEnterFrame() event so that when I use the prevFrame(), it will play in reverse at the same frame frequency as going foward. This is the code I have now.It goes back to the frame that it's supposed to, but the animation is not at the same speed as going forward. I goes back as fast as the code can loop.
function frm94to93 (event:Event):void{ while (currentLabel != "Frame1993"){ trace(currentFrame); prevFrame(); }

There this link in Flex that was working and now isnt... Flex is giving me a headache with this one because it is not throwing any errors either.
In the script part of the XML I have this:
private function onLinkClick( event:TextEvent ):void {
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest( event.text );
navigateToURL( url , "_top");
}
[Code].....
It was working but now the link doesn't and the swf's not throwing any errors either. This is very strange behavior, would anyone know why the link won't work?

It just reloads the animation instead of going to the html page the button is pointed to. I can give a link to it if you need.

I've created a button in a swf file when clicked should open a website in a new window. It works on my mac but it doesn't work for my client's pc. The banners are here [URL] . It's obviously something wrong with my Flash file because my client can make the banner on this page [URL] work.

I have a problem trying to get a button to go back to the start of the a main movie. I have added the button(see below) into the main movie which is only one frame and contains a quiz movie. I want the start button to be visible in the quiz movie (which happens ok) but want it to link back to the main movie when clicked. The link is not working and no errors are showing.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.controls.Button;
var startTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
startTextFormat.bold = false;

I have a movieclip acting as a button with a dynamic textbox inside. The text is being passed via a xml and it has a URL associated with it. But the link does not work. When I remove the onRollOver action that makes my mc button show a rollover state the link works. But when the rollover is active it doesn't.
If there's a way to pass the URL via xml to the button, instead of the text inside the button, that would also be good. (even better because that way the whole button would link, and not just the text)

I would like to underline a link in a TextField when the user rolls over it and return it to its normal state on roll out.
Does anyone know of any way to access the rollover event for links displayed as htmlText? Flash player is able to recognize the event, as the cursor is changed to the hand cursor when hovering over a link. However, I have been unable to access this event. I do not want to add a listener for a rollover of the entire TextField, just the link.

We have a Flash banner on the home page and each slide has a link to some other page. Everything works fine, exept in IE.
Basically what happens is that if you click on the banner the first time, the link will work fine and bring you to the new page. However, if you go back to the home page again, then the banner does not even present a link anymore (it will still work fine as far as the banner rotation is concerned - just no more links)..

I'm attempting to create a gallery viewer similar to the Apple on here: [URL]. Where the slide indicators are linked with the forward and back arrow controls. What I have is my forward and back arrows controlling the content, newsHolder MC. I also have the dot indicators controlling the newsHolder MC correctly. How to link the forward and back arrows to sync with the dot indicators?
PHP Code:
function dotPressHandler (e:Event):void {
changeIt(e.currentTarget.id);
//current selection history code
if (currentButton) {
TweenMax.to(currentButton.dotCenter, 0.25, {removeTint:true, ease:Expo.easeOut});

I dowloaded and played with the following scroller on this site... [URL] I see where the text is under Actions but I'm wondering if I can input hyperlinks and email links as well or will I only be able to use this with plain text. If formatting and links are allowed, how can I input the text to show as a link. Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...

I have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool. I would like to be able to make a piece of text a link (ex. click here for prices) so that it will direct the view to another page (label). I cannot figure out how to do so.

We have a little app in use with a customer where html links are generated dynamically at run time. The link text and url are put together from a couple of txt files that the customer regularly goes in and edits. These links have recently stopped working.
Of course, you would think the immediate culprit is the customer who has made a mistake in the txt files. But the the same vars from the same files are used to generate a couple of buttons on the page that DO work. And everything works when I export it from flash. It stops working as soon as it gets to a web server.
Here is the output from the functions that piece together the input data:
[Code]....
And here is the link to the app: [URL]
Choose a category in any of the lists and then any of the subheaders that appear. Most have a link in them. It's in Swedish but I know you lot are smart enough to navigate a flash app without understanding what you're clicking on

I have been searching the internet almost a week to solve this issue with no luck !
I am having problems with my slide show play/pause buttons
When pressed, the pause button does not pause at all (the slide show automatically cycles every 5 seconds)
and the play button starts playing the slide show from the beginning instead of from the place that it was paused.
the file is attached and here is a direct link to view the problem [URL]
