Flash :: Buttons/links On Or In Object?
Jun 3, 2009
I have no idea how to ask this question properly. I am only designing this, not making it, so simple answers for me would be good, but also technical answers that I can pass on to the flash person.
On my home page, I am going to have 3 images that switch out, each that need to have a "learn more >" link and a 1, 2, 3, and pause buttons.My question is whether or not these image buttons/links can be placed on or embedded in the flash object. I read this is not possible and that buttons or links have to be separate from flash. Ideally if I wanted to place a "go" button on top of my flash image, that would be great.
However I have been told the only option is to make one side of this in photoshop where I have the buttons and then place that next to the flash image. My example of this would be the msn.com home page.

I have a fla/swf file, with 6 buttons on it all with their own hover effects and such, however they're all on the same layer. So assigning a link to each one through actionscript is confusing as I've only done it if they were on different layers.

I'm making a flash website, I know the basics of html and AS3, but this is my first time trying to use them together. I need only two interactions between the swf file and the server:
The .swf needs to be able to grab image files from a directory hosted on the server
The .swf file needs to be able to change the URL

I am calling one flash with transparent bg in an HTML page.. Now the HTML links which are below the flash area are not working. So how can I make them work. I knw though I am calling flash with transparent bg but still the object�s area is same.. n all the links which are there on the HTML page that comes under that area stops working as they no longer remain selectable. To have a clear picture of what I am tryin to do have a look at the following url : [URL]

ive got a flash template, but its really difficult to edit. heres the thing: there are 4 main categories buttons, and when i click each categorie, 3 options appears. for example
[Code]...
green, blue, red and yellow are already with button codes, for when i click it, it opens their 1, 2 and 3 option buttons, but these 1 2 and 3 for each color are not links, and when i try to add a code to them, ALL of them get the same link, like their instances from the same thing. and when i try to set a button to be instance of another thing, all of them change again.
its really difficult and i've tried everything. even creating another box for these 1,2and 3, but when i create a box on this section, another 2 boxes are created at its sides.

I have a site that has multiple pages of similarly sized buttons. These are magazine covers. I'd like for the mag covers and links they point to (loaded swfs) to be dynamically loaded via a text file, if possible. The client always has new magazines she's been in and to manually load the newest buttons first is a pain and time consuming.

joining this forum may be an awesome resource for future continued use. So, I have an as2 language selection front door in development utilizing xml influenced dynamic buttons being retrofitted for a global front door language toggle.
In production, it looks somewhat like this:
I have two main buttons that the 'for-loops' add. mainTabs and subTabs. On release on the subTabs, the are supposed to getURL defined by the link attribute in the xml file. However, I cant seem to have the getURL command target the proper address.

I found a cool menu that I'd like to be able to use but right now I don't know how to make the buttons become functional links. If its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or...does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions. Below is the link where the example and files can be found. Be aware that if you try to use the actual files you will need an mc tween extension found at [URL].
Here is the XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<item nazov="button num 1 "load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 2" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 3" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 4" load="" image=""/>

I'm building an app where pretty much all the text is pulled in from XML, including the nav. It's linked to a MySQL database which throws XML into the app via PHP...I want the nav to be a dynamic menu made via the number of nodes in the XML file, and it'll end up looking like the 'related videos' menu on you tube. I've got this working by making a movie clip with a text field in it... the app loops through the XML, gets the number of nodes, then dynamically creates the nav via instances of my movie clip with a text field in it...
So say I've got 3 nodes, all of which are going to be nav items... The app then dynamically creates 3 movie clips, positions them onstage, populates the text field inside each movie clip with the name of the link (taken from the XML), and adds an onRelease action to each movieclip. The problem is, because of the nature of the app, the nav could grow to about 50 items over time, so I was gonna make it sit in a box with a scroll bar, like the side menu of related video clips on you tube.
I want to know if I can ditch the movieclips and just use a dynamic text field, and then make use of the scroll bar component so that, when the nav is generated, a scroll bar appears if there are too many items for the nav box to hold. In order to do this I need to know if I can launch action script via a link assigned to some dynamically created text... If not I guess I'll just have to make my own little scroll bar that affects the dynamically created movieclips but I thought I'd ask anyway!

i am using MCloader to load my swf in my main swf and i keep running in the same issue around the site.using all the same button script and style in labels.... sometimes they work like they should and sometimes they just don't got to the over or out state?!
here's an exemple::
Code:
//---------------Buttons intro---------------\
btnintromc.onRollOver = function () {
btnintromc.gotoAndPlay("over");
[code]....
the "btnintromc" when clicked load the right swf in the mcloader on the main swf (so the onRelease work fine)but the animation just don't work, that's really bugging me because it's the same button and same script as in the main swf but for some reason it just wont work?

Lately I have been seeing flash based sites that will work with your browser back and forwards buttons. I have also noticed on some sites that if you right click on the .swf they can have links to parts on the site in that as well.

I've found several threads on the MOUSE_UP "problem" with AS3 where onReleaseOutside, in its AS2 form, doesn't work. The solution being to add a MOUSE_UP event to the Stage.
Question is, if I have a slide-bar class, a simple dragger, its it happens to be added to a movieclip thats in another movieclip etc, do I have to adjust my class continually so that I use: this.parent.parent.parent etc. to get to the Stage to set this listener? I can't just set it using Stage.addListener.
I think this looks cryptic - but to those that have run into this specific MOUSE_UP issue, I'm sure this will look familiar.

I have stored an object template in a variable and then I'm adding the video links via jQuery. I'm doing this because eventually the links will be added into the object template via ajax. However, the video does not show up. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The sample code is in action here: [URL]
<script type="text/javascript" src="[URL]"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.7.1");
google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
var obj_template = '<object width="260" height="140">'

i created a flash slideshow with pictures of events and link each picture with its own event (ie. each pictures has its own links to the website). I created the fade in and fade out effect using the class motion tween. With the link, I created a layer with a button that has alpha= 0 (so the user don't see it) and then I used code snippet to make another layer with the action script "click to go to url."
When the slideshow goes to the last picture I made it fade out and the first picture of the slideshow would show up and then the slideshow would replay itself (by default?). My goal is to make a continuous slideshow.
When I tested the swf file, the first time it runs, everything is right. The urls and the pictures are in correct order. However when the slideshow replays itself automatically, I notice that the links are incorrect. In the first play, when I click the picture of the event it would open the url of that event.However when the sldieshow replays, clicking the pictures would only open the url of the first event picture. When I click on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.pictures the browser opens only the link of the first picture of the slideshow.
