Flash :: Flash Ad As Hyperlink

Problems Adding Hyperlink (using Creating A Hyperlink Tutorial) [renamed]
after following the instructions in the Creating a Hyperlink (link below) tutorial, I had trouble when it came to adding the actions. Eventually, I figured it out, but wasnt able to do it as instructed.

My question is how do I pull up the url field? It may be that Im using flash mx 2004, but you would think they would make things easier in 2004 instead of taking out usefull tools such as the url field..

also..how do I turn on html code for my posts?

Datagrid > XML Connector > Hyperlink - How To Hyperlink In XML?
First off this is becoming a super headache and the next step is to start pulling out the hair... just kidding but really... And thank you to anybody who's taking the time to help!

Ok, so in Flash 8 I'm using the datagrid component (datagrid extension) and populating it via the XML Connector and Dataset.

QUESTION:
How do I hyperlink from the XML document and have the link work in the swf?

I've tried Xlink and that worked outside of flash but when I brought it in, it didn't work.

Ive tried CDATA and I think this might be where I need to go... In flash (actionscript) I cant find the node that I need to use (if that's what I do)

Pretty much all I need to do it type the link in the XML and have it be "hot" in the swf.

The source code is here: http://www.goodwinimagination.com/Calendar.zip

What is the final product I'm aiming for? A Calendar that sorts by date and alphabetically with the click of a tab at the top. Similar to this one found on www.AFI.com but, with the added capability of sorting. If there is better way or a way you know of going about this I am definitely open for suggestions!

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hyperlink In Flash
I have just created my first movie in Flash and it will be used as a simple intro to the main HTML site. I would like for the last frame which is the word "Enter" to be a hyperlink to my index.htm page of the main site. How would I get this to be a hyperlink and not just automatically redirect to the index page via getURL. Thanks so much for the help!

Hyperlink In Flash
I have a flash navigation bar in my website and the hyperlinks have stopped working for it. The navigation bar itself is working fine, just the hyperlinks are broke. As you can see in the code below each link is named "Study Help", "Tips and Tricks", etc. Each of the web pages in my site are named after those links: "studyhelp.htm", "tipsandtricks.htm".

This is the error message I get:
Cannot find 'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/User/Desktop/Online%20Journalism2/studyhelp'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.

Any ideas why they may not be working?

Attach Code

function init () {

// populate all arrays for each menu/section

// sections
arrSections = new Array ( "Programs", "Events", "Multimedia", "Contact" );

// PROGRAMS - - - - - - - - - -
arrPrograms_Titles = new Array ( "Study Help", "Tips and Tricks", "Research Resources", "Time Management" );
arrPrograms_Urls = new Array ( "studyhelp", "tipsandtricks", "researchresources", "timemanagement" );
// EVENTS - - - - - - - - - -

Flash Objects/hyperlink HELP
flash 4
dreamweaver 3

Hi

I have created my buttons in flash and inported them into dreamweaver.

I have created a fameset on the left with scroll bar and imported the buttons into this.

on the right it has left a box 515x505. i have imported an object of the same size into this box.

My problem is that i wish to create a different object to be loaded into the right box when a button is clicked (10 objects, 10 buttons).

My problem is that i cant get the button to load an object in the right window. It either loads the object into the left window, the same window that houses the buttons or doesnt load at all????

can any one help me how to configure a hyperlink using flash and how to get the object to load into the right windows.

this is using flash as the animation/object create and dramweaver as the html creator.

help!!

thanks in advance

I've trawled the net looking for a solution but can't find anything.

Basically we've got a couple of flash movies we want to put on our site which when clicked on take the surfer to the relevant page.

Hyperlink In Flash, Problem With Mp3's
Ok, i have to be able to let users download mp3's from flash and what it ends up doing when i just make a "getURL" is that many computers have plugins for ie or netscape to just play the file rather then bringing up the "save as" prompt. Is there anyway to change this, and i know i could just make them zip files but this website is going to get used by little kids and not-so-computer-literate people and is dynamic so its important they are .mp3

Changing A Hyperlink In Flash 8
Hello! Thanks in advance for the help!

I have been working on trying to change a hyperlink in a Flash button for over 4 hours now (mostly researching) - and I know that I have to be making some very stupid and/or simple mistake. It should have been a 5 minute fix.

I have a menu bar on my website (see www.natcourierinc.com). We are switching to a new online order entry system which is hosted at a different site. It is currently www.natcourierinc.com/webtic. I want it to be www.dwaybill.com/nationalcourier.

I went into the original Flash file, found the button, went into the Action window and changed the getURL to www.dwaybill.com/nationalcourier. I thought that would do it, but it hasn't. It seems to work when I preview the swf movie file, but when I upload it to our server that button still sends the user to the original web address (www.natcourierinc.com).

I am completely stumped. I have checked and rechecked this a dozen times or more. Any ideas?

Can XML Hyperlink Work In Flash
I have a photo gallery that uses a XML file to hold captions for each photo.
The captions are displayed in the slide show under each photo.

I want to go into the XML file and edit the tag that holds the captions and put a Hyperlink or a <a href> tag in there.

I dont know if the caption output area in the SWF file has HTML enabled, does any one know of different ways around this.

Flash Object As A Hyperlink
I'm trying to do something that seems ever so simple, yet I'm not having any success. I created a flash object and inserted it into my web page. I want to be able to click on it to link elsewhere, but it doesn't work. I did so by wrapping the object in <a href> tags like I would for anything else. Is this not permissable? If so, how can I make the object link?

It's just a small animation that in previous years I would have accomplished as an animated .gif file.

The page I'm referring to is http://www.pbu.edu. There's an image in the middle of the page about an "application special" and I want it to link to the correct page.

Any tips?

Thanks much!

Flash Hyperlink Button
I am a new user of Flash and have run into a problem I can't seem to solve after hours of trying. What I thought would be quite simple...creating a button that when published and then opened in IE7 would, when clicked, cause IE7 to link to another web page. My tutorial book mentions just applying a "Go to web page" Behaviour to it, but while that works fine in "Test Movie", nothing happens in IE7. I have also read some previous posts here on the subject, done what was recommended and still no luck. What the heck am I doing wrong and where? Here's a simple run through of what one might do.
1. Open a new Flash file and call it Button_Test, create a new Button symbol called btn_test, create the Up, Over and Down states, and return to the Stage.
2. Move the button to Frame 1 of the first layer on the stage, click the button, and name the "instance" in Properties my_btn
3. Click on frame 1 of the button layer, open Actions (F9), then as recommended here to others, I tried the following action scripts:

my_btn.onRelease=function(){
getURL("

I have exported my flash file to a .swf, but the hyperlink does not function. The "hand" appears as I mouse over the flash content, but clicking it does not take you to a new webpage.

My Flash file consists of 3 layers.

The third layer has a banner graphic converted into a button symbol for motion tweening (fade in of the banner graphic).

The second has an invisible button with an instance name of inv_btn.

The first layer has an action on frame one that is as follows:

inv_btn.onRelease = function(){

How To Create An Hyperlink With Flash
Hi all,
I'm new to flash, I've started creating some animation. I want to make the user directly click on the animation (it is in fact a little banner). I've googled a bit, and found some tutorial, but I don't think this is what I need, these are for symbols (buttons images and others). I want to link the whole animation (the whole movie clip to a website).
How do I do that?

Thanks a lot for any help.
I think I'll learn a lot from you all.

Help Adding A Hyperlink Within Flash 8?
Inside my animation I have some text that I want to link to a different page. So I high-light the text and at the bottom of the properties pannel I put in the location of the file I want it to link to. The text is not in a tween, and its not a symbol. So for instance I will add in the url and then click on the text that should be a link and I get this error:

Firefox can't find the file at
/MyComputer/Users/me/Desktop/MySite/mainpage.html.

Now whats funny is that it adds an extra "." for some reason.

Hyperlink Problem In Flash Cs4
Hey everyone, I used to have an account on here, but it has been years since Ive been on and I dont even remember my account name... anyways. I've been designing websites and programming for a while, but I haven't used flash in forever and the last version of flash I used was MX... so it has been awhile. Anyways I just got CS4, made a header for my site with navigation on it, but I can't figure out why my hyperlinks are not working!! I have the button symbol made, when I edit it I click on the "down" frame, click on the text then put my url in the "link" option on the left and it acts really weird when I test it.

When I click the button during testing the down frame flickers a lot and if I click really fast it will load up the page or several of them, but it never works on just one nice click... anyone have any ideas why it is doing this? I have tried putting a rectangle box in the "hit" frame to make sure it just wasn't freaking out cause of that, but it didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Creating A Hyperlink In A Flash Website
Hi,

I am trying to create a hyperlink using a button object with the following action script:

on(release)
{
getURL("http://www.ninemsn.com.au","_blank")

This works fine when I run the .swf move file and opens the requested page in a new window. However when I embed the movie in html and click the link, I get no response at all. I don't get an error message or anything, but nothing happens when I click the button area.

I am wondering if this is related to a browser setting that I may have to change? Or is there a line of code in my html that I need to include to get this working?

Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,
