GetURL Not Working
I have a site developed for a client and it works correctly on some machines, and not on others. I was wondering if anyone ever experienced anything like this or know what causes it. Basically this call does not work:

getURL ("javascriptlayMP()", "_self");


it calls this javascript function:

function playMP()
{
NewWin = this.open("index.html","NewWin","toolbar=no,locati on=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollba rs=no,resizable=no,width=780,height=533")
NewWin.focus();
}

GetURL Not Working
I have created a Flash Movie with a Button and a getURL action to move to another Web Site.

On some machines the action works fine and loads the relevant page. On other machine the pointer changes to a hand on the cursor is moved over but clicking on the movie does not perform the action. Is there a setting in IE or a certain component missing.

Thanks in advance for your help

Geturl Not Always Working
I've made a movieclip button. They are all the same, 5 of them. Which I have place in the menu section of a frameset. On pressing on them, each loads a different frame in the content frame. In general it works ok. When I press on one, first it checks whether a sound is playing from when I previously pressed on it. If so, it waits until that sound has finished playing. This to prevent that when I click on it twice really fast, the button sound doesn't overlap each other. Then I use onsoundcomplete to wait until the click sounds has finished. After that the geturl is carried out.

In general, it works ok. But I've noticed that when I go crazy clicking on all the buttons. Randomly one of them stops working correctly: when clicked, it doesn't play the sound and because it doesn't play the click sound, the geturl isn't carried out. It does play the animation before the click sound, so the mc button does work, but it doesn't get beyond the click sound.

Strange thing: when I refresh the entire page, all the buttons start working again.

How can I improve my code so that all buttons keep working, even if I go crazy pressing all 5 buttons randomly at light speed?

the code:
knop.onPress = function() {
knop.gotoAndPlay("rodewolk");
//speel geluid en ga daarna naar site
//met checksound checken of geluid al aan is
var poof = new Sound();
poof.attachSound("poof.wav");
if (checksound != "aan") {
poof.start();
checksound = "aan";
poof.onSoundComplete = function() {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com/opdracht.htm", "content");
checksound = "uit";
};
}
};

GetURL Not Working Without Www.
I made a flash header with some navigations buttons for my website. However, the buttons don't seem to work unless you type in the www. part of the web address. Any help on how to use the getURL command to work for both http://mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com would be very helpful.

here is an example of what I have for my getURL code

on (release)
{
getURL ("/index.php", "_self");
}

I've tried many different combinations of the code including:

http://www.aimlessfilms.com/index.php
http://aimlessfilms.com/index.php

However none of these work for both my web address with and without the www. I also tried using the _parent target; that seemed to work fine in firefox but in IE it just opened new windows.

Geturl Not Working.
I'm not sure what's happening. I have been working on a website now for 2 years and all of a sudden the buttons with links (geturl) don't work! I copied the files to another mac and it works fine. Problem is, I need them to work on the other one also. They don't work on safari or firefox. I tried installing updates for both but nothing happened. Any ideas?

thanks

[F8] GetURL Not Working In IE
Hi everybody,

I have this menu in Flash that has buttons. Each button has an on(release) event that when clicked takes us to a new html page.

My code looks like:

Code:
on (rollOver)
{
if (_root.link != p)
{
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
} // end if
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
{
if (_root.link != p)
{
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
} // end if
}
on (release)
{
_root.getURL("http://www.cogeve.com/index.html", "_self");

}
This code works perfectly in Firefox v2.0.0.14, but not in IE7.

You could check it out at: www.cogeve.com

My publish settings are:
- Flash version: I tried with 8,7 & 6 with no luck
- Actionscript version: Actionscript 2.0


Any help would be gratly appreciated

GetURL Not Working
Hi,
I'm currently creating a interactive map
View here:
http://www.cheaplimohire.com/flash-map/index.htm

I want the cities to be clickable URLs but it's just not working. I know that the button script is working because when i take a city off the map it works fine. I'm guessing that the city buttons are conflicting with the rollover states on the zoomable areas?

Please help, i've searched this forum for hours trying to find a solution! I'll attach the fla file if asked

GetURL Not Working In IE
I have a problem with the getURL working in IE. It fails to open the link the first time, if I refresh the page it opens the document. Is there a solution out there for this?

I have doubled checked the path and even copied the path from the blank window into a new window and it will open the document, so I am fairly confident that the path is correct.


ActionScript Code:
_root["press_mc1"+i].onRelease = function() {
                        getURL("documents/"+this.name1.text, "_blank");
                        trace("documents/"+this.name1.text)
                    };

Geturl Not Working
someone please help.
I am creating a website using a dreamweaver template. I am using flash for the main navigation with typical geturls on the buttons...this works fine There is one spot on my site that goes to https. On the https part the flash navigation still runs, the rollovers work, but the geturl will not work. I have tried adding https to the codebase when embedding the swf but this does not help.

i know that i can remove the template from the 1 spot that uses the https on my site and take the images out of my flash nav to make an html version, but i would really really really prefer to find a solution that allows the geturl to work once it is on https part of my site.

Thank you

GetURL() Not Working ?
can someone please explain why this SIMPLE code is not working for me!!!

Thank You

GetURL Not Working In IE/Mac
The getURL call is not working with OSX/FP9/IE5. I looked on Adobe's site for a fix and they came up with either:

a) use HTML code allowScriptAccess="always" (didn't work)
b) change getURL to call a _blank window (messes up my navigation design)

Please check this URL with IE for example: http://navyo.com

Any ideas for this incompatability? (Other than a browser switch.)

GetURL Not Working In Mac IE5
I've been told that a Flash navigation I worked on is not functioning in IE 5 for Mac. I know what you're thinking... who uses IE 5 for Mac these days? So anyway, I've been asked to fix it and cannot seem to find anything with my searches. Maybe I'm using too many key words in my search. I don't know.

It works in FF, Safari on Mac and FF, IE on PC. I am using the most recent version of swfObject in the page. I've published to FP 6 and it's using AS 2.0.

I'm basically just throwing this out there to see if anyone remembers this being an issue.

GetURL Not Working
Hi,

I'm a bit stuck at the moment with using a button in Flash 8 to launch a new URL in the browser.

This is what i've done (after searching the web for answers):

- Created my button (yes, it has the proper "button" icon
- Selected the button and gone to Actions
- Turned on Script Assist
- I've added the getURL function for on (release) and entered my URL (i've tried multiple URLs to see if that was the issue)
- Published the SWF

As I said, I launch the published Html file and click on my button, but nothing happens.

I can't find any explanation for this. Can someone help at all?

Really sorry if this is a really simple thing - I just can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for any help.

GetURL Not Working
Hi,

I've developed some flash actionscript which loads in some images from an xml file. Along with the images, each entry in the xml file also contains a caption for the image and a link to go to if someone clicks on the image. There is also code to scroll the images left and right.

As long as everything is stored on the same server, all works great. An example can be seen here: http://www.summitwebpages.com/flash/test_image.html

BUT...if I put the html file which references the flash, on a different server from everything else, there is a problem. Everything seems to set up fine. The images and captions are all pulled in fine. The scrolling works fine. But, even though the images appear to be clickable, when you click on an image, nothing happens. Somehow it seems the getURL function does not work properly. Is there something simple/obvious going on here that I just don't understand that would cause this? Any help/insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GetURL Not Working
I'm having some trouble with getURL (I think). It works fine when I preview with Flash's html preview but it's not working on my server. It's pretty simple. http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/ is my main page and the +_root.gen_sel.selected1 is a user-defined and the +_root.gen_sel.selected1 is a user-defined variable pointing to a page: ie, when the user selects variable page1 the page to be opened is http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/page1. Like I said, it works with Flash's preview, but not on my server(no 404 or any response). Does there seem to be a problem with my code or might I be overlooking a server error?

Here's my code:

USER SELECTS::
on(release){
_root.gen_sel.selected1 = page1;
}

USER EXECUTES::
on(release){
if (_root.gen_sel.selected1 !== ""){
getURL("<A href="http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/"+_root.gen_sel.selected1">http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/"+_root.gen_sel.selected1, "_blank")
}
}

GetURL Not Working
I developed a portable video player thats similar to
YouTube's video player where you pass a video's
info and the video loads and plays. The player can
also be embedded on your own personal site using
the embed tags.

My problem is this, everything with playing / loading
the video works fine. But I've got a link on the Flash
thats hard coded to a url and links off using getUrl
like so:

getUrl('http://www.site.com', '_self')

Now this works if the HTML and SWF are in the same
location (ie both local, or both on the hosting server)
but for some reason it doesn't work in the embed mode
when the player swf is located on one server and the
HTML that's loading the SWF is on another server. XML
loads fine, videos load, images load, but the gerUrl does
not work...doesn't go anywhere.

Also, I've got my crossdomain xml file setup to accept
all domains using the * option.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

GetURL Not Working
Sup all //

If you can. Please take a look at my .fla file: HERE

I have that header for my navigation here: http://www.michaelcawcutt.com

However I cannot get the getURL command to function properly. You can test it out by clicking on a key meta word (right hand side) than clicking on "home" to take you back.

As you will see it does not work.

The site is built around Joomla—it's pretty basic and I didn't care for any of the navigational options so I built a flash menu.

Thanks!

edit I can get this to work when I "cmd-return" out of flash and test the .swf – but online it's a no go.

GetURL Not Working With IE
I have a movie clip with the following action on it:

on(press) {
address = _root.gallerycontainer.pathToFullPics+_root.gallerycontainer.fArray[_root.gallerycontainer.pIndex-5];
target_winName = "myTitle";
width = 550;
height = 450;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 0;
resizable = 1;
getURL ("javascript:myWin = window.open('" + address + "','" + target_winName + "','" + "width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories + ",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable + ",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 + "))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" + "'); void(0);");
}


So when the movie clip (containing a thumbnail image) is clicked on, it opens a new window displaying the full-sized image. This works fine in all browsers except in IE, which returns and error saying "invalid argument at line 0". Any ideas?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

GetURL Not Working
I have created a flash projector (for a CD-ROM) and I am using getURL to launch a website from the file. On some systems this feature doesn't work at all and on others it works but if there is already another instance of IE open, it launches in the background. Since the flash is full screen, this is really bad for users.

Any thoughts?

AS1 - GetURL Not Working In IE
Ok. So I've been searching other forums and tried many scripts yet none seem to work in IE. I am using the getURL script which works fine in Firefox - a new window loads with the exact dimensions and the content inside. In IE, the new window opens like normal then responds with 'done' and nothing has loaded.

The address to the problem site is at www.primercreative.com and the button for pharmadelphia.

Here is the script:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.primercreative.com/PAS.html','theWin','width=825,height=420,left=100,top=100,toolbar=No,location=No,scr ollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

Thanks a lot!

GetURL Not Working
Does anyone know why getURL does not work at a Flash Proyector or SWF? I haven't had time to learn Director so I'm building an app within Flash and I need some buttons to call their respective targets which are something like:

b1.onRelease = function(){
getURL("mypic.jpg", "_blank");
}
b2.onRelease = function(){
getURL("mydoc.doc", "_blank");
}
b3.onRelease = function(){
getURL("myavi.avi", "_blank");
}

It works ok when I open the swf throw a html page, but it doesn't on the stand alone player. And since the links are feeded dynamically I donīt think a .bat or equivalent file to be called using fscommand "exec" is an option.

Geturl Is Not Working With Netscape
what is the way of opening new window that is a html page by clicking on the button in netscape and internet explorer

STUPID GetURL ISN'T WORKING HELP
I don't know what's up with this! for some reason, my GetURL just isn't working. Keeps coming back w/ "The file cannot be found."

I'm using relative URLs because it's currently on our local server before going to a client.

I've tried navigating out of one folder (where all the .swf files are kept) to a file w/in the HTML folder (up one lever - ../)

I've tried putting the .swf at the same level as the HTML, but still no luck.

Funny thing is, I've got a get URL set up in a different movie (different directory and everything), and it works fine.

Has anyone ever heard of this? is there some wierd bug that's keeping my getURLs from working?

FWIW, I've got one GetURL attached to a button (basically, a back button) and one at the end of the animation.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

TommyDAQ

GetURL Not Working With Https
I am trying to get a button in Flash to navigate to a new page using getURL. The problem I am having is that the button does nothing when the SWF is embedded in an https web page. I need to have the Flash embedded in an https page and for it to navigate to another https page. The code on the button works fine if the SWF is run outside a web page. When embedded the button acts as if there is no code on it.

Anybody have any ideas on how to work around this?

Javascritp And Geturl Not Working Why?
Hi, Iīm trying to open a pop-up window from Flash using GetURL and Javascript.

Somehow, Flash isnīt understanding itīs a javascript command, and it opens 2 windows and puts as the URL address the entire line of code inside the geturl command.

this is the action inside a button:

getURL("javascriptpen.window('bla.html';'bla';'w idth=300,height=300');");

when I click on this button above,
the browser opens one window (fullscreen) and writes:
[object]

and it opens a second window with the dimensions I specified in the getURL command, but this window is blank, it never loads the bla.html document specified in the getURL command.

Whatīs the problem?

I did a test where I put another javascript command geturl("javascript:alert('hi mom");"); and it worked. I did a second test where I put a Javascript open.window code in the html file and that works. but when I put the javascriptpen.window inside the geturl, it doesnīt understand itīs a javascript command and it thinks itīs the url address.


Thanks!

GetURL No Longer Working
I have just gotten MX 2004 an upgrade from my previous version of MX... I updated my .fla from Actionscript 1.0 to 2.0... and well at first there were many problems but now all my buttons and components work... however my getURL no longer communicates with our Lotus Notes Database properly.... the .swf is an embeded file in one of my databases... however can anyone notice a syntax error with this??? that would be 2.0 sensitive and not 1.0 sensitive...

SWF In Director - GetURL Not Working
I have made an interactive resume in Flash, I would like to put it on the web but also use it in Director for my class. Everything that I have in my SWF that is coded with actionscript works beautifully, except if I need to call up a website. It seems that the getURL doesn't transfer over to Director. Is there anyother alternative coding that I can use in action script? I cannot edit each frame individually so I can't do the goto URL in Director. Any help would be appriciated!

GetURL With JavaScript Not Working [F8 Or 9]
Does anybody know how to solve this problem:
I'm trying to create a simple pop up window using getURL and a basic window.open function with JavaScript.

I notice that it works fine if I publish for AS1, Flash player 7 or lower.
But any higher than that, it simply fails.

My code looks like this:

Code:
my_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("javascript:window.open('bigwin.html','newWin','width='+screen.availWidth+',height='+screen.availHeight+',left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=Yes'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
};

[CS3] AS 2.0 GetURL Button Not Working
Just moved to CS3 Flash and my getURL works when i test the movie but not in any browser. This is basic code and i can't seem to crack it. I have the FLA saved as Flash8, exporting in Flash8 and using AS2.0 ANY IDEAS??? This is driving me crazy. The getURL code is at the bottom, everything else works just fine.

GetURL Command Not Working
Hey Guys,

I seem to have a problem that may or may not be linux related. I have a basic flash navigation that loads external subnav swf's into target movie clips...so far so good.

Within those individual subnav swf's...I have buttons sitting on top of each swf's 2nd frame (I have a mouseover command going on...thus the 2nd frame).

I have a very basic getURL command setup as part of the code...as follows:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.website.com/services/default.php");
}
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Now I had a devsite for this nav and this dev site is hosted on a windows server. It loads everything fine and works exactly as it should.

The problem began when I ported over the site to a new dev site which is linux hosted. All of a sudden the links stopped working. Interesting to note - if you load up the .swf in firefox directly - the links will click through. If you try to click on them from the actual top level swf containing the external movie clips...nothing happens. Any ideas?

*Note* I'm exporting in actionscript 2.0

GetURL *javascript* Not Working? Help Please
ok i understand this has been covered but i just dont understand why this isnt working

im trying to create several buttons all of which open a seperate file in a new popup window

im using the getURL using javasript to manage my popup

getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://X.com/X.jpg','filename','width=800,height=600,left=100,t op=100,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status =No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

this works perfectly in all browsers exept internet explorer (tested on IE7)
the issue is that one or two work but most just dont open the new window, i get an error on the flash page in the bottom bar, nothing happens. they used to work which is the most annoying thing and the ones that do are using identical code wtf is going on here

can anyone see my problem? im using flash CS3 but exporting in 2.0

if you know a better way of writing this code or a stable way of doing this please inform me

this is fairly urgent

GetURL Stopped Working?
I'm not sure what changed, since the last week or so, my getURL buttons stopped workign completely .. on both IE6 and FF under windows...

now this is strange, the links work if i run the swf in flash player (or test inside flash pro 8) but when i put it into an html page in any browser it doesnt work anymore.. it seems like something to do with local/network security.. but i havent a clue what changed and why! I repeat, this sort of linking worked just fine until a week or two or so ago..

I have here just a sample button i made and the published html from flash pro 8.. i hope some1 can look at it and see what's changed and why it doesnt work from html mode but does from raw swf...

GetURL Not Working On All Computers?
I have a banner with a link to a site, but it won't activate on most browsers. On my computer it works on Firefox or Safari, but for most other people, clicking has no effect. Maybe it's a Flash setting, or a Flash player setting? How can I change this so that when people click they get redirected?
Thank you

GetURL And NavigateToURL Not Working
Hi, new to scripts in Flash, using MX2004 on Flash 7 and latest Flash Player.

In a simple symbol in the swf file, it is set to link to Google. When previewing in browser IE7 or FF both latest updates, the active area of getURL shows as the cursor changes to a hand, but on click or release or over it will not link out, nothing happens, no error msg, nothing.

I have scoured many topics on this. I changed the swf html file to make the value of script access to 'always' for both cases of it. I have tried "_blank" and parent and self. My AS 2 code is

on (dragOver) {

//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("

GetURL Not Working Well In Flash
Hi,

I am building a site and I have decided to use Flash to make a navigation bar for my website. I've been using Flash for quite a while now and I'm surprised to find out that the getURL function isn't working in Flash CS3. I have made sure I set the action script to 2.0 and publish settings to Flash 8. this is the code I used:

home.onRelease = function () {
getURL("/index.htm", "_self");
};

This code was applied to a frame and not the button it's self. I tested the movie and got nothing when I clicked on the button. Can this be a security feature that is new to Flash or am I doing something wrong?

thanks,
Ian

GetUrl Not Working If Www. Isn't Used In Browser
I made a navbar for my website using Flash CS3 Professional, ActionScript 2.0. The navbar works fine if you visit the site by typing the url in the web browser www. (mysiteaddress) .com. But, if the url is typed in as just (mysiteaddress) .com. Without the www. The GetUrl links do not work.

I tries just typing in text links with html and they work fine whether or not you use www. in the url in the web browser. This problem occurs in all web browsers, Firefox, IE 6, IE 7, Safari.

In my coding in the Get Url a reference the absolute url, tried it without www and tried it just as a relative url. Nothing seems to work. It wouldn't bother me that much but, when you search in google for my site the link does not have www.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

For reference, the site is www.brianmfrange.com. If you go to brianmfrange.com the Flash navbar getUrl links will not work.

*Also if I add _blank to the getUrl code the link works and opens in a new screen. Any other way does not work.

Flashvars Not Working With GetURL
Hi there.

I am using flashvars to pull asp variables into my flash movie (Thanks Dan
Mode for the info) but it's not working, just wondered if someone could have
a quick check of the code I have.

When I run the page in a browser I get a new page open with the following in
the address field: http://localhost/testsite/undefined

Regards, James Brown

####On the movie clip in the swf I have####

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
getURL(myVar, "_blank");
}

####On the asp page I have####

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

GetURL Not Working When Swf Is Loaded Into Another Swf
Ok, I need some help for something relatively simple which for some reason I've not been able to find any information on at all?

Hopefully it will be something easy to fix.

Essentially I have the following:

my main movie "Home.swf"
another movie "Sub.swf"

I've loaded "Sub.swf" into "Home.swf" via an empty movieclip.

Within "Sub.swf" I have some links which when clicked call getURL and open a HTML page in the browser.

But for some reason the getURL isn't working and I believe its because the getURL is called from a loaded movie within "Home.swf".

I've tried changing the actionscript to:

_root.getURL('/mypage.html');
_parent.getURL('/mypage.html');

but neither (_root / _parent) seems to work?

Need help here please.

Many thanks.

Kind regards,
M.
