Flash :: [F8] Can't Change The Links Of A Button Instance... It Changes All The Button Links

Button Won't Change Where It Links To.
I have used flash for a while but I havn't worked with it in about 6 monthes. I am getting desperate! When I go to change the URL for the button, the site that it goes to won't change. I have saved it when I get done changing it so that isn't the problem. I have tried to start all over by erasing the script for the button but I can't get the new URL that I put in the script to work. I am using FlashMX still (I know I am a little behind in updating my software) could someone just paste the script for a button on a reply and then I could just change the URL for the button and see if it works.

Thanks

Confused and desperate.

How To Change The Movie Clip A Button Links To?
I am working on a website in Flash that had already been designed by someone else. There are a number of buttons across the website that are linked to the same symbol. Those buttons link to movie clips, in the button's actions, that pop up as small windows providing more information in regards to the button clicked. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to properly change the link association between button and movie clip.

Here is the action script for one of the buttons:

on (release) {
_root.scrHEIGHT=100
_root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.scroller._x = 100;
_root.scroller._y = 150.7;
_root.TM_title = "About Chris Smith";
_root.READ = 3;
}

When I change the number after "root.READ =" it will change it to another movie clip but I how do I know what that association is based on? For instance if I make a duplicate movie clip how can I make the above script link to it? Also, what exactly does that last line in the above script mean? When I tested various numbers, like 3 and 6, they would link to the same movie clip.

Please help! This is driving me crazy!

Thanks!!!

Button To Links
I'm new to flash and having some problems. I can't seem to get my button to open another html document. At the moment, my html document is not published. It's sitting in the same folder as the rest of my .swf and associated .html files. I've been using the getURL scripts but I must be missing something. Could someone give me an example of how this works. Also, is there an easy way to move text around in the ActionScript window? Thanks for your help!! George, from Phoenix.

My problem is, i need them to link to external url's. When i click and click actions in its sub menu, a dialogue box comes up and says action cant be added to current selection. Please help me figure this out.

Hiya =]

I've created a button within a frame as a movie clip symbol and Ive linked buttons to other frames before.

The problem is that Im not wanting to link to a frame within the symbol of which the button exists.

I want to be able to link back to a frame in Scene 1.
What actionscript would I use to do so?

Thank you for the help =]

Hi,

I'm really new to Flash and currently have a problem. I'm designing a project with several different screens inside of it driven by a menu interface. I'm not exactly sure how to link these together inside of one movie though. Is it possible to use getURL to call a fla file and display it in the current movie?

I'm starting to think that this is all done by creating several different movies in the same fla file, but I really hope not (I've already finished them in different files).

Can anybody help me please?

Hello all,

I'm a newbie to AS3...and well just AS in general. I'm trying to create a slideshow of sorts that will cycle through upon clicking. Here's my code:

ActionScript Code:
play();
gotoAndStop(10);
sc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD1);
function onMD1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
gotoAndStop(10);
}
sc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD2);
function onMD2(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(11);
gotoAndStop(23);
}
sc3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD3);
function onMD3(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(24);
gotoAndStop(38);
}
sc4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD4);
function onMD4(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(39);
gotoAndStop(46);
}

The above script is in a layer of it's own spanning the frames. It works fine the first time, but after that there's no linking. It's either because it's still in the function and therefore won't read the other Mouse_Down events (though return; works to no avail) or it's because of the stops. I've also tried putting stops on their own layer but it's still not working. Grr. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

Still Having Problems With Button Links
Hi,
I'm still battling with MX 2004 Pro to get my buttons to link to various scenes within the project. I have got it right once with this script, and it HAS worked correctly...

about_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 2", 1);
};

But, when I transferred the same script over to other buttons, ie:

history_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 3", 1);
};

I get an error saying "Statement must appear within on handler" What is going on? Is there another section somewhere that also controls commands from action script? Why does script work on one button and not another, when all thats changed is the name and destination??

Please help me, I'm tearing my hair out over this. Thanks.

Problem With Button Links
Ive embedded a flash movie into a html page using dreamweaver MX and for some reason ive noticed two strange things occur after doing this.

The first is that the buttons react much slower than they do in the flash test movie. For instance the bottons when qued in the movie to happen with frame lets say... 44... dont come in and happen till about frame 56 or something like that. Is there a reason for this?

The Second is that my buttons that are linked to external web pages... seem to work the first time i hit them... and then fail to work the second. Is there a cause for this?

Thanks for your help.

Oh also i was wondering what the recommended file size to start using a preloader is.... My file is about 160k which i didnt think would be a huge issue but im not sure... any thoughts?

Interpolation Button Links
First of all, I've just searched through all that was available on this forum for button (2 pages listing), looked at quite a few online tutorials and searched thoroughly the software (flash) interface.

My problem is the following: I have a banner including 2 rows of 4 buttons which fade through each other with an interval in between, I did all the animation correctly and everything is working correctly for the specifications (which only needed to have a different image when hovered) but now I have to make the buttons links. I can make links fine on just one scene but the animation add quite a few interpolation, 17 that is, and having to link them the usual way would demand make quite a few operations (17 x 4) which will most likely also need to be modified, that's a lot of work ! I suspect ActionScript could help with this but the tutorials I've seen this far doesn't get even close to this problem and I can't find any resource about this neither.

Please start by just saying if there's a solution to this or that it would surely take more time, otherwise I'll just go ahead and do the links manually.

Flash Button Links
I hope someone can help me with this weird problem. I've been using Flash for button links for a while but for some reason lately, I've been having this strange problem. When you type in the url for the site, the Flash buttons will work as far as the roll overs and such, but the links do not work. Yet, if you click on an html link, it will take you to that page and from then on, the Flash buttons will work just fine. I can't understand why this would be happening. Basically, the Flash links work fine unless you type in the url. What's happening? Here is the link to what I'm talking about. Try typing in the url first. You will see that the Flash buttons don't take you to the linked webpage. Then try clicking on an html link, and then a Flash link from there. Thanks for the help!

Text Button Links
I have used the text tool to create my links and turned each word into a button. When I test and publish the site however, I can only make the link work if I click on the actual leg of each letter as opposed to the general area. So, if I have an "O" the middle of the "O" will not work, only if you click on the actual top of sides (around).

I made a second site and did not have this problem. I am comparing but cant see anything different in the settings.

Button Links To Different Scenes
Hey all,

This is so basic it's almost embarassing to post about, but I'm in a pinch and can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong...

I'm using MX Professional 2004. My movie has four scenes; "Main" which plays on load, then three other scenes: "Whitepapers", "Products", and "Brochure". Main includes three buttons that, when clicked, should bring you to one of the three other scenes. For example, the Prodcuts button should go to frame 1 of the "Products" scene. But regardless of which button you click, it plays the "Whitepapers" scene, presumably because its next in the linear scene sequence.

Here's the actionscript for the Products button. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've been doing simple scripts like this in Flash MX for years and and only having this problem in MX 2004. Thanks!

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Products,1");
}

Question About Pill Button And Links
I'm new to flash, but through some struggle i was able to do half of what i wanted to do. now i'm banging my head against the wall trying to finish this, so I came here for help.

I'm trying to get the default symbol "pill button" to work as a link to another web page. I'm not doing anything too fancy here, no movies, no animation, no secure servers. I'm just trying to make a little "box" where there is a login field, a password field, and a submit button. i did manage to do this, and this is my flash script for it so far:

function onClick(btn) {
if (btn == submit_btn) {
getResults();
getURL("http://www.mysite.com/login.asp", "_blank", "POST");
}
}

---------------

so i have one regular push button i call "submit_btn" and it works. For this box idea, I need 2 more buttons that will link to other pages, without posting anything. I wanted to use the Pill button, but on the "parameters" tab there is no way to put in a click handler for onClick?! it's just this big color slider thingy. about the only thing i can do with this pill button is change the instance name.

To be honest, i'm not even sure if i'm supposed to put more script stuff for these other link buttons in the "button's actions" or the "frame1 of layer*'s actions" area.

I think i might be able to do it with just the default push buttons, but i really wanted to use these pill buttons. however, they are just confusing the heck out of me, so any help will be appreciated! thanks.

Button Links Within Movie Clips
Here's a simple question-

I have a movie clip called say, "Navigation MC". Within that movie clip I have a navigation menu made up of buttons. The movie clip is say, 30 frames long with a stop at frame 10 where the menu buttons are. I want to link the menu buttons to frames in different scenes, but it's not working.

For example, the button labeled "Home" is linked to frame 1 of the Scene called Home. What happens when you click on this button is it goes to Frame 1 of the current Movie Clip.

Any ideas, or is this a fact of life for Flash MX...?

Thanks,
