Flash :: AIM Link Using Action Script?

Add Link (URL) To Action
add link to actionscript button??
I have downloaded from flashkit an example which i wanted to rebuild

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter...7816/index.php

In 1 actionframe is says:
menu1Links=4;
set("_root.menu1.numLinks",menu1Links);

then in the 2de actionframe you can name the Title to for example "button1" which i did.

but how do you add a link to
set("_root.menu1.link1.theTitle","button1");

What doesn't work is:
_root.menu1.link1.onPress= function() {getURL("www.amazone.com");};

what also doesn't work is
_root.menu1.link1.theTitle="<a href=www.amazone.com">button1</a>;

but what does work!!???

Action For An Email Link
first off...
thanks to everyone that helped me yesterday... it seems so simple now, but it all works!!!
my dumb question for today is...
how can I make a symbol/text be a link to send an email?
I wasn't sure if this could be done with it left as text.
I have my email address, and I converted it to a symbol(button)... I want someone to be able to click on it and auto format an email message to me, with my address and a subject in it.

Thank you so much!!!

<href> Link To Swf Action
Hello All,

I have a dynamic text box in my movie that I load an external .txt file with html tags denoting <href> links.... I was wondering if there was a way to get these <href> links to communicate with the swf it sits in.

**ie. you click the <href> and the movie gets the value of whatever variable associated with that <href> and goes to that section through either a function or any other means.

I am assuming that I would have to include in the href format some variable in the tag itself and then get flash to somehow respond to the click and change of that variable.... just not sure how that code would exactly work.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Html Link In Textfield Using Action Script?
ACTION
#the link is made up in a textfield by the two entries in textfields called "url" and "mask" on submit of a button with the code below#

PROBLEM
why does this code on a button causes the link to appear on the next line in a html textfield called "Comments" and not behind the text already typed in that textfield?

on (release) {
_root.Comments = _root.Comments + "<FONT color='#FF6699'><A HREF = 'http://www."+ _root.url +"' TARGET='_blank'>"+ _root.mask + "</A></FONT>";
_root.url =""
_root.mask = ""

Direct Link To A Specific Action In Your Movie
Our website consists of a main movie and various external movies that are loaded within the main movie depending on the button actions (f.e. products).

Is it possible to direct a viewer, who clicks a link in a email, directly to the sequence where the external movie is loaded within the main movie, without the use of anchor tags (seems only to work with IE)

F.E. in our products section, when you click the first image to the right (Ovidias Cans), the ovidias movie is loaded. Now, how can I direct someone, through f.e. a link in a email, directly to the Ovidias cans action, without going through the initial cibus sequence and without the use of anchor tags?

Can I Add A Link To An Action Inside A Movie Clip?
I am editing a flash template and want to be able to hyperlink selected text to a pop-up window. The problem is, the text I want to hyperlink is inside a movie clip. Here is the frame action:

link2textvar = "AveStar's self-titled CD is now available for purchase.";

Can I link the words "available for purchase" to a pop-up window outside of the movie?

PS -- If there is a level of expertise below "NOVICE" in Flash MX scripting, you will find ME there -- be gentle

Flash Action Link In Dynamic HTML Text Box
I am currently developing a Flash Website for a client and I would like to do the following:

I load text from a mySQL DB into a dynamic textbox in Flash with the HTML option ticked.

With this HTML option the dynamic text can contain a link to a specific webpage, what I would like to do is have the link in the textbox perform an action in the flash file.

The way I figured it out was that I use an FScommand in the webpage where the flash file is embedded and try to call it within that link.

I'm not really familiar with that concept, can someone tell me if it is possible doing this using an FScommand and get me started on how to code it ?

All help is greatly appreciated !

Want Button To Link To Next Scene, Problem With Action Script Language...
Hi there,
I've made flash movies in the past but I seem to have forgotten the correct action script language. I want the button to move to Scene 3 when it is clicked on. Here is what I have for the button (see below), but the button does not work when I preview the swf. What am I doing wrong? I don't get any error messages. Thanks a ton!

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 3")
}

Flash Movie Won't Link To Anchor Points On GetURL Action
here is my code, i have tried it both ways:

on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL ("#anchor","_self");
//End Behavior
}

on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL ("page.htm#anchor","_self");
//End Behavior
}

using the #anchor apparently tells the movie to look for itself as it gives me a message it cannot find a version of itself with the anchor name.

using the full URL, in control > test movie mode opens a broswer window and goes to the anchor link. but, when i place the movie into a dreamweaver document and do a browser preview test it ignores the anchor link in favour of the top of the page.

any suggestions?

Can A Hypertext Link In A Dynamic Text Field Execute A LoadMovieNum Action?
Hello all,
Is it possible to have a hypertext link in a dynamic text field(in a Flash
movie) load an additional movie on another level?

I have movie with a main mav on _level0. When you click on one of the
main nav elements in _level0, it loads a submenu on _level2. When you click
on a submenu element on _level2, it loads a movie on _level3 that contains a
scrollable dynamic text field. This text filed is going to have links.
Some of which are going to link to websites, and some which will need to
load other movies within the same flash movie.

Is this possible and how?

Thanks,
Damien

Action Script Question: Where Is The OnRelease Action In The Action Folders
I’m working on a project and I trying to make it when you click down on a button that click will send you to a point in the movie and then a symbol will play from there. I know that you need to pick the key with the button on it in the time line and then I know you need to pick the button that you would like to assign the GoToAndPlay statement on.

But what’s really messing with me is where in the heck the on release or the on mouse down statement is in the little action a book when are looking in the action window.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Link To A Specific Frame Of A Flash Movie From An HTML Link
How do I link to a specific frame of a Flash movie from an HTML link?

Button Link Inside Movie Clip Link To Slide #
First let me say I am a very new to ActionScript and Flash, but have a pretty good understanding of the web and a basic understanding of object oriented scripts from CSS and a few other languages.

I have a navigation menu which is a movie clip containing buttons inside it and have a slide presentation as my main content. I am trying to make the buttons link to a specific slide # in a different part of my flash presentation.

You can see the page here: http://brhpc.ericlevay.com

The nav menu is a downloaded source and the slide show is the default canned one from the Flash templates directory.

I was hoping to use the gotoandStop (slide#) to make the connection between the nav button and the slide but it does not do anything.

I will provide the source if needed...

Thanks!

Html Link And Flash Link On Intro Page
I've noticed that a lot of Flash sites have some kind of detector to see if you have the flash plug in. Is that scripting?
Plus, I see that the intro page of ones site will have an HTML and a FLASH option to choose from to enter the site. Would that be enabled in the publish settings of Flash 5? I am curious to know how that is done because I am designing this young lady's site and she wants the viewers to have the options of HTML or Flash.

Thanks!

Can Dynamic Text Have An Embedded Link? Or HTTP Link?
I'm using the Flash scroll bar componet, which uses dynamic text, and I want to link part of my dynamic text to a specific frame in my moive. - Is it possible?
- I've tried and it doesn't allow the 'Go TO' funcion.

so,

I created another HTML page and SWF to display the specific SWF screen that I want to show up - now I'm trying to link my dynamic text to '_self' so that when the link is clicked it will look like it is in the same site.

When I use the dynamic text and create the link, it appears to be ok/workable in the Properites panel, but when published, it doesn't work.

Hide Cursor When Over Text Link (TextEvent.LINK)
Hi there!

In my application, i have custom graphic cursor. I use Mouse.hide() 'onMouseMove' . There are some special cases though, when the default mouse cursor is still visible. Like for example when:
(1) rolling over an input texfield
(2) rolling over a link: <a event:blabla>link</a>
..in html-formatted textField.

The latter is worst. Is there a way to hide the default mouse cursor in these cases? I haven't found any so far..

Cheers!

Frame Action To Call Tell Target (rather Than Button Action)?
I really need a frame to Tell Target a movie clip. For some reason, I can't get a Frame Action to work with Tell Target.

I have no problem applying the same Tell Target to a button, however. Am I missing something? Is Tell Target not meant for Frame Actions?

On(rollOver)action + On(release)action + Photo Transition
Okay, I'll try to describe what I want to do and probably just need help putting it together.

I have :

5 black & white photos -- all converted to MC's (bwimage1, bwimage2 etc)
5 color photos (same as b&w) -- all converted to MC's (image1,image2 etc)
5 buttons -- all converted to symbol-buttons (image1_btn, image2_btn etc)

I have the 5 buttons lined up vertically on the left side of the page. I have a spot on the right side of the page where I want the picture to be visible, the black&white version on (rollOver) and the color version on(release).

I know how to make just one of the photos appear on rollover or on release but I don't know how to change the photos from B&W to Color on the actions. I would like a transition between the photos from rollover to release (b&w to color) like a fade.

Any help is appreciated.

Assign Cursor Action To MovieClip Using OnRollOver Action?
Hi all

I have a cool component from FlashLoaded which lets me create brilliant 3d layouts with out much hassle. The componet uses the cursors to zoom in zoom out and pan left and right.

I dont want to have to put an explanation on the site, I would like to put some invisible mc's or buttons on the stage that when the user rolls over them with the mouse it triggers that action.

Is there a simple piece of code i can place on the buttons to make this happen?

Many thanks in advance
