Help Button And Banner Link Not Working

Please Help. Banner Link Not Working
I know how to create a banner and was able to create the code so when someone clicks on it, it will go to the target page.

target="_blank" When you click on the banner, a pop up window appears and goes to the targetted page. I was successful in doing that. I do not want to have a pop up window, so I changed the code to "_self". Here is the problem: When the code is target="_blank" the link works. However, when I changed it to _"self" it did not work. I just want it to go to the next page without a pop up window. It won't go the the targetted page. What am I doing wrong? Will somebody please help?

Button Link Not Working
I have a Dynamic page that is a parts list in a MySQL database that I show on a page using PHP in Dreamweaver.
The page uses a repeat region to list the parts depending on what nav link is clicked and what I want to do is add a flash button to the repeated region that when clicked will take you to a larger view. I have all of this setup and working fine except for the flash button.

For instance when the page is loaded you may see 10 parts listed and the button will show up 10 times also, one button next to each part listed. I am currently using a simple image as a link to the larger view and it works fine. The link looks like this.

largeview.php?SearchField=<?php echo $row_Recordset1['Part']; ?>

My problem is that flash doesn't read the php in this code: "<?php echo $row_Recordset1['Part']; ?>". I need flash to read the php code so it knows what part number to show.

Is there any other code that can be used to have Flash read the php code?

I hope I explained this properly and any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am new to flash so please spell it out for me.

Thanks

Button/link Not Working (CS3)
Creating website in CS3, Actionscript 2.0
When linking menu buttons to their respected pages (ex. the Home, About Us, Services buttons, etc.) I can't get them to work when I test the page. I'm also not getting any compile errors...

Here is the basic code I am using. I can post .fls also or whatever needed:

Actions Layer; Frame 1


Code:
aboutus_btn.onRelease = function()
{
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_self");
};

services_btn.onRelease = function()
{
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_Self");
};
I am using google.com as the url for testing purposes. The actual urls are /aboutus.html and /services.html

The instance names have been double checked to be correct. Thanks in advance!

[F8] Button Not Working With Link From XML File
Hi there made this code i have everything working but the simple thing i cant get to work no more. When i click the read_btn button nothing happens, any idea. Here is the AS 2.0 code:


Code:

FLASH8 - Button Link Not Working.
The button I have to geturl isn't working as I thought it would.


Code:

inv_bttn_eagle.onRelease = function(){

getURL("http://foo.gearsector.com", "_blank");

};



I read this link and a few other after searching. This one seemed most relevant.

http://forums.devshed.com/flash-help-38/geturl-issue-what-is-wrong-434564.html?&highlight=geturl

I cleared the cache on my browser. I also changed the name of the file and uploaded it to see if it had something to do with the server's cache. But still no luck. When I click the button in the browser, it won't respond. But inside flash and it's test movie, works perfectly.

Here is the flash I speak of, located right where the two-headed eagle that acts like a heartbeat has a hit state button over it:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=307947902

I am wondering if it's because the script is on my script layer in the last frame. And in that last frame I have a script that says gotoandplay a previous frame. Could this loop be causing my script to only last for one particular frame thus causing my clicks to miss it? The mouse arrow changes to a hand though as if I can click on the button throughout the process. I made sure to give the button an instance name. Maybe I need to set up an event handler as well for that button?

Thanks in advance!

Link For A Banner
Ok, this might be an easy one...

I have created a banner in flashMX for the mac.

Now, I put a link around the object tag ie:

<a href="http://blah.com">
<OBJECT>
flash stuff
</OBJECT?
</a>

Two bad things happen.

1. The banner doesn't link to anything... ie, the link gets ignored somehow.

2. There is no hand to display there is a link.

I have tried everything. I can't embed the link in the flash banner because of my clients tracking software.

So, I ended up for now making an invisible button that has no action to make the hand appear when a user puts his mouse over it.

However, the link around the tag still doesn't work... any ideas where I'm going wrong here?

Here is the image shack linkage, the banners are both 600x100 in size (although why the second on takes up the whole of the iumageshack viewing box but the first one doesnt beats me, any ideas?)

http://img258.echo.cx/my.php?image=t...barcode9py.swf

Link For Banner Problems
Hoping a flash guru can please help.

This is for a commercial site. I have a page of flash banners that can be downloaded by affiliates of the company.

The affiliate has a ID number. The banner is to be used for click-throughs.

That is that when a potential customer clicks on the banner it takes them direct to our company's site from the affiliate.

This ID number is needed so that the affiliate gets their referral fee.

Similiar to the HTML code <a
href="http://www.xxx.com/from=sr-000000"><img
src="http://gs.cdnow.com/MN/xxx.com.buyweb_credit/upgrade/graphics/xswfb_468x60.gif"
alt="Enter Here" border="0" width="468"
height="60"></a>

This ID needs to be included when the banner is downloaded from our site automatically. If not can anyone suggest how else can it be done.

Can anyone please help! I'm desperate.

All help much appreciated

How To Make A Link Banner
Hi All

I was wondering how to make a link banner to put on websites.
I searched and saw Venio had something on it at Fret-files, but the link was broken.
Can anyone explain it in small words for me?

What I need is something that would be a couple of different sized banners that would be on the page that other websites could download for their sites.
Could this be just HTML code that pulls the flash banner image from my server, or do they have to download and embed the .swf file for themselves, or does this sound like something I should do as a .gif?
Thanks.

Add A URL Link To My Flash Banner ( CS3 )...
I am also fairly new to flash and have made my first banner...

http://www.airboxmedia.com/rhythmpunkz/

As you can its finished now but I cant figure out how to make it link back to the page (listed above). I have created rectangle as a seprate layer over the whole stage, coverted it to a button and set the Alpha to 0% as the idea the user can click on the banner at anytime to open a new window.

I have tried adding this action scrip to the rectangle layer:

link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandle r);
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.airboxmedia.com/rhythmpunkz"));
}

but all I get is an error saying:

Statement must appear within on handler -> link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandle r);

The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded. -> function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{

Many thanks, J

Help Me Get My Banner To Link To New Page
I created a flash banner and have tried unsuccessfully to get it to link to the new page. I originally tried to create an anchor tag in HTML. Through research and asking questions I discovered I needed to create a layer in flash, and place an action script on it so it will link.

I put the banner on the following test page.

http://www.yellowdogrecruiting.com/index4.html

I need the ad banner w/ images scrolling to the left, to link to the following page.

http://www.yellowdogrecruiting.com/p...olis_jobs.html


I placed the following code.

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.yellowdogrecruiting.com/pages/minneapolis_jobs.html", "_blank");
}

When I tried to publish, it gave me the following error.

1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

Link For Flash Banner
I have never done a banner in flash but I am assuming that to have the banner be a link to a page to another page on the site you would just create an invisible button on the whole banner.  This does not seem to work.  Can someone look at this script and see if it is wrong.

----------------------------------
on (release) {
    getURL("http://www.awarestore.com/index.php?op=view_item&item_id=13561");

How Do I Create A Link From A Banner
Not sure if Actionscript 2 is right, but I'm using Flash 8.

I created a banner that has 2 parts to it. It goes through one area for gift certificates, which I want to link to giftcert.php and the 2nd part goes through some more movements and such that I want to link up to sale.php

Everytime I try to add a url by on(release) or getURL, it gives me the same error saying:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 8, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler

or

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 5, frame=30:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances

How would I correct this? (I'm an extreme beginner when it comes to Flash). Been searching Google, but dont know what to search for.

Thanks... Help is very much appreciated.

Banner & Link Collection Question
Hi,

I know I am posting on the wrong forum, but everybody has always been good with my answers here

Situation: Client wants me to deposit a bunch of links and banners to various medical portals, directories, pages, etc. Each deposited site has their way to monitor the CPC rate which is included for their PPC charge.

Problem: When I have to collect and compose a report of the stats at the end of the month, is their a program I can use that will track each link/banner and compose a chart for all of them, rather than having to do it manually (logging in to each area and collecting the stats in a report?

For my own site, Cpanel has Awstats which I use for web stats, and I use Phpadsnew for my banner ads. Just want something like these that will collect all of them. Thanks.

Any help would be great, as you all always do.

Thanks,
Dominick

Please Help Me On Flash Banner Click Through Link
I've been trying for so long to figure out how to get an animated flash banner to click through to a different website. I have a button on frame 1 that has the getURL (bla bla blah) attribute, but how do I get this link on every frame? Surely I don't have to make a button on every frame, right?

Please help me. It'd be greatly appreciated.

Flash Banner Help With Link Problem, Please
Hello.. I have been making some flash banners. Is there a way to use an html link like you can with a photo? <A HREF="http://www.bareapparel.com"><IMG SRC="file.swf" ALT="Home"></A>

Ive tried this in flash but didnt seem to work, onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
getURL("http://www.bareapparel.com");

here are 2 different codes that are working for me.. I assume the only way to have someone click on the banners and it takes them to my webpage is to hard code it into the banner via flash actions? I dont want it to go on load, but on click.

also important info. I will be hosting the swf on my site and putting the banner on another site.

Please, any help would be very much appreciated

here are the codes im using. code in bold, not sure if i need?

Flash Banner Link Security
I'm working with a client who is adding Flash banners to their site and, after reading this article, has some concerns about security. They want to know if they need to add the script shown in the article to all of their banners, and considering recent changes to Flash Player security, I'm not sure it's necessary. The code (from the "To assign a clickTAG for your advertisement" section of the article) is attached to the end of this message. Does it still make sense to check for "http:" as shown below?
Code:

on (release) {
     if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
          getURL(clickTAG);
     }
}
Or do recent versions of the Player make this unnecessary? Adoption rates for 7 is pretty high, but 8 is still around 50% or so. Thanks.

Corrected Link For Flash Banner Issue
I have never done an expandable flash banner before and I am so stumped. An example of what I mean is here (the yellow louis naveller one): http://www.percema.com/projects/ne_ph_1206_08/

The main problem I am having is how do I get that expandable piece to show through like that? If someone could point me in the right direction, I could easily finish the rest and would be eternally grateful

Any help would be awesome, sorry for last post

Flash Banner Ad - Adding The Link To External Url
Hi,

Apologies if this is a bit of a simple question. I have a banner ad that I have created in flash. It consists of a number of scenes. I need to add a link from it to a website. What is the best way to do it?

I have tried adding a 'go to web page' behaviour to each scene which works but it doesn't give a hand cursor when hovering over the file (previewing in the browser) and it seems a bit repetitive.

Any suggestions as to the best way to do this?

thanks
Ben

Banner With Link To Site Doesn't Work
Hi to all.
Am just learning flash. Have created two ad banners with invisible button that points to a web site. Both are basically the same except for dimensions and one of them has additional layers showing a lightning effect.

Followed the Flash Tutorials in Flash Help to create button with specific action -

inv_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://...com", "_blank");
};

Problem is one of them works when clicked upon and the other doesn't.
.fla file is attached if anyone wants to check.
Would appreciate any assistance in finding problem!
regards
