Flash :: Help Adding A Hyperlink Within Flash 8?

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?

Adding A Hyperlink?
how do i add a link to my flash site??

Please Help Adding A Hyperlink
Hi, I use Flash MX 2004 v 7.0 and for some ungodly reason, besides the fact that i'm a noob and not Uber smart, i cannot add a hyperlink to any objects (i have 7 of them) I can getUrl and get it to open, but what i want is to be able to click on the object and have it open in a new window. I know this sounds so simple to you all, but i have read tons of tutorials (apparently not enough) and still can't do it. I will send you the flash for your perusal, but honestly, i am very new at this and would really like to learn but you would have to break it down barney style for me. If you want the flash email me, roblteach@hotmail.com or yahoo messenger iskiinverted
Serioiusly, Thanks for any help with this

Adding Hyperlink To Buttons?
I purchased a template from TemplateMonster.com. My issue is that I cannot find how to add/modify hyperlinks to the buttons.

The source file is available here: http://www.rdi1.com/sidemenu.fla

I read through the manual about using actionscript, but that is way over my head at this point in my flash-learning.

Please advise,
Thanks,
Matt

Adding Hyperlink To Buttons?
I purchased a Flash template, and am having some issues modifying the hyperlinks.

Forgive me for not knowing the correct terminology, but I'm kind a Flash newbie. When I change the hyperlink of one button, it changes the hyperlink of every button. I need to know how to either make different instances of the buttons, or "insert your suggestion here".

Here is the movie as it stands: http://www.rdi1.com/_intropage/with_...in_edit05.html
If you click the "More" buttons, they all go to the same page (thinix.com).

Here is my Flash project file (MX 2004)
http://www.rdi1.com/_intropage/with_...ain_edit08.fla

Thanks much in advance for the help,

[F8] Adding Hyperlink To TXT Files
Hey all, flash newbie here. I designed a site for a client a while back but I hired someone else to do the flash animation and coding. Anyways I lost contact with him and now need some help.

The way the site is layed out is basicaly the page that displays the text is being pulled from TXT files. So whenever we need to make changes to the content we just modify whatever text needs to be changed. Below is an example of what one of the files looks like:

<AboutUs>
<paragraph1 type="text">This is just sample text. This is text that shows up on the page. This is just sample text. This is text that shows up on the page.This is just sample text. This is text that shows up on the page.
</paragraph1>

<paragraph2 type="text">This is just sample text. This is text that shows up on the page.This is just sample text. This is text that shows up on the page.This is just sample text. This is text that shows up on the page.
</paragraph2>

<paragraph3 type="text">http://www.msn.com
</paragraph3>
</AboutUs>

Ok so the problem is whenever I insert website addresses it is only displayed as text and not a hyperlink. I'm hoping someone could help me out and give me the code I need to make a link an actual hyperlink that you can click on and it opens in a new window. Sorry if I sound retarded but I haven't worked much with flash and don't know a thing. Thanks for any advice.

Adding A Hyperlink To A Button
I am rather new to Flash and working on a project where I would like to have internet window popup after someone clicks on a name. I have tried scripting the button so it says on release get url....., but I wasn't able to get that to work. I think I might not be writing the script correctly. Could anyone show me the correct way to add a hyperlink to a button so that it will pop up a window after someone clicks on it?

Thanks!!!!

Adding Hyperlink To SWF File In HTML
This is my first time dealing with any .swf files, so any help would be appreciative...

I have been given an .swf file that needs to be added to an HTML page - no problem. That file then needs to link to another site. Is this something that needs to be added to the file before it is loaded onto a website?

I've seen the following code provided in other threads, but either it is meant to be used when creating the file, or I'm not using it correctly when I try adding it to my .asp page.

on (release) {
getURL ("<URL here>", "_blank");
}

If I'm not trying to do something impossible, please edit the code below to make this file link:

<html>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" TEXT="#000000" marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 id=all>
<embed width="360" height="75" src="<file>" border="0">
</body>
</html>

Thanks!!

Adding Hyperlink To Animated Button
I am very new to flash so I'll explain what I've done before I ask what My question is.
I created a button by combining a gradiant rectangle and text>convert to graphic>convert to button>dbl click on the now button>selected 'Over' state>convert to movie clip>added animation to 'Over' state>did the same with 'Down' state (using different animation).
All of this works fine but I am totally stumped as how to add a hyperlink to it. I know how to do it with just a simple image ie draw circle>convert to button>Actions>on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com", "_self");
}
>save>publish preview HTML
I think it might be where I am trying to add the hyperlink but I'm not sure.
I even tried going to 'Scene 1' selecting the whole thing and converting that to a botton and then adding the Actionscript as above but no joy to that either.
I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Deefsound
ps I have attched a fla file of what I've done thus far without the hyper link attempt.

Adding A Hyperlink To A Movie Clip
Hi,

I am currently duplicating a coloured movie clip which sits on the root. I was wondering if there is a simple way to add an on click event (if an even is needed) to all the duplicated movie clips to allow the user to load url in a blank window? or can i simply specify url info like when you create a text file. E.g (
Code:
my_fmt.url = imageurl;
my_fmt.target = "_blank";
Each movie clip has a different url attached to it? Can anyone help?

Code:
_root.imagearea.duplicateMovieClip("blank_mc"+i, 2+i);
newmovieclip = "blank_mc"+i;
loadMovie(imagearray[i], newmovieclip);
Regards

Alan

Adding A Hyperlink To A Graphic, Not A Button
I need to add a hyperlink to a graphic in my flash animation. I've followed the tutorial using Actions : Browser/Network : getURL, and what happens is that the browser automatically links to the url as it reaches the graphic when testing the animation. I want to be able to click on the graphic and THEN be linked to the url.
Does this make sense?
I'm new to using Flash so any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

Need Action Script Help For Adding A Hyperlink To A Button
Hey there its been awhile since I've been here, but I came back because I have a simple question that could be answered quickly, but it has been bothering me for quite a while.

I have made a flash button and I have made it that when you press the button it plays a sound sounds way to easy right ? but the thing is though when I press the button I want it to play a sound and take the user to a specified webpage on my site, But I don't know the right action script code to generate or write out to make it work correctly or not at all......

Can someone please look at this code and tell me what I am doing wrong and also that code will be copied to 4 other buttons but will be a little modfied to go to other different webpages on my site.

[on (release) {

//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http://sunflare2000.250free.com/darklightninghacks.htm//","_self");
//End Behavior]

Thanks for any help that you can provide for me

Adding Hyperlink To XML Driven Carousel :SOLVED:
Hello all ^_^

Had to join this forum as it is the best one I've seen recently, lots of appreciation to all the admin who run this forum as well as Lee himself :)

I recently followed the carousel tutorials and i loved them so much that i would like to utilise them on my new website that im currently making.

There are a couple of (hopefully) simple tweaks that i would like to know how to do...if theres anyone out there who could help it would be greatly appreciated :)

1. Is there a way of making a hyperlink appear when you click on the icons in the carousel? for example i would like to utilise this carousel in my portfolio, and i would like icon to be a project, and when they are clicked i would like there to be a summary of the project, then a 'View Website' link at the bottom? is this possible?

2. Lastly is there a way of making the carousel stop more often....at the moment due to all of the complex calcultions that the actionscript in the carousel, it apears that the only time you can fully stop the carousel is at the very center pixel on the stage...is there a way of making say the middle 20 pixels stop the carousel stop?

Thankyou very much to anyone who has taken the time to read it :)

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 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?

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.

Thanks

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!

Blair
