Link Inside An Mc That Has Actions...?
i think we've all run into this problem and there has to be an easy way around it!
i've got a clip with mouseOver and mouseOut actions applied to it. inside the clip, i have some text and I want a piece of the text to have a link on it - either the text itself or just a button or something. unfortunately, when you apply mouseOver or Out actions to a movie clip, Flash wont recognize actions applied to clips or buttons or text that's inside that mc.
what can i do to fix this problem?? it can't be that hard, is it?
thanks,
CB

Creating A Link Disables Other Actions....arg Help
Hey there...
Ok, I am using the "3 collapsing menus" fla from Senocular:
http://www.senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.140
I have added a couple of section titles, and removed the sub-menu buttons from all but one of the section titles. When the drop-down section title is clicked, it opens up a sub-menu. clicking ANY section title will close the drop down.
Problem is that I would like each of the "section titles" (except the one that is a drop-down) to be a link in and of itself as well. If I apply some AS to the section title movieclips to make it so:
title.onRelease = function () {
loadMovie("faq.swf", _root.contentarea);
}
The actions begin to act strange. The drop down works fine. If the drop down is "closed" the links work fine as well. If the drop down is open, and you click one of the other section titles, it will close the drop down, but it will not open the linked swf.
I would like it to do both!
Any ideas?

Website Link: SWF Or EXE?
I'm trying to add a link to a flash video on our website. The only thing I've been given is the .exe file.
When visitors click the link, the only option seems to be to download the file. I want them to be able to VIEW the video. Would I need the .swf file for that?
(What's the difference between linking to the .swf and linking to a .exe?)

How To Create Link To Website?
hi,
May I know can anyone advise on how to create a link to webpage?
(1)I create a button on stage and I use behavior to create a link to a particular site to the internet. I have set the behavior to be "on press". However, when I "test movie", it will automatically lead me to the link which I have typed in "behavior". How come is it like that? I thought it will only lead me to the webpage when I clicked on it?
(2)I have written a html file to embed this swf file. When I opened the .html file, there is no respond when I clicked on the button. Anybody know why?
May I know what is the correct procedure to create such link?
thanks a lot.

How Do I Link A Banner To A Website?
I created this flash banner:
http://www.geocities.com/imagocreati...er/Banner.html
Now I need to link it to the website but I don't know how to do that. Last time I made a banner the person wanted a ClickTag from Google so I added the transparent box over the banner and copied the code that Google provided but this time it seems that all the person needs is a direct link to their website..
Thanks!

Using An Already Generated SWF File As A Link On A Website?
Is it possible to use an already generated .SWF file as a link on a website? If I use an image between the <a href...> and </a> tages, I can click the image and go to the link. But if I do the same with an attached SWF file, clicking the SWF will not allow me to go to the link. Is it possible to do this with the already generated SWF file, as going back into the FLA is not an option.

Link Flash Intro To Website
Hello,
Thankyou for reading this. i paid $250 to boxedart.com to modify one of their flash intros for me to start when people first typed in my web site address. At the end of the Intro they have put a ENTER button there. This is where people can press to enter my web site. it took me 6 months to work out everything about creating and publishing my web site but now i really can't wait to get this Flash Intro going with it.
Can anyone help me to do this? Please.. I would be eternally in your debt. Thanking You. God Bless you.

How Can I Improve My Website?...(link Inside)
http://www.conflix.co.uk/conflix02.html
Hi all, I'm designing this for my mate, I have completed it roughly but I am not satisfied with the quality of it. You might notice there are alot of popup windows when you click on certain navigation links
songs - this is because I don't know how to get a "save target as" command in flash so i made a html page in dreamweaver insted and linked it.
shop - do not know how to put paypal buttons or links into flash
gallery - do not know how to put decent gallery in flash
news - ideally I wud like to make a scrollin bar for this but again lack the knowledge.
I realise mayb I need a preloader
any help/advice you guys can offer on making this website better would be much appreciated.

Error With Link To External Website
Hi,
I'm trying to make a button work in Flash that links to an external website but I'm getting an error message. On another frame, I also have a button that opens a new mail message for email and that seemed to work. However when I used the same syntax to create this new button on a different frame, Flash gave me an error message that said it was conflicting with this other previous button. I also tried to change the var link to var mylink but I'm still getting an error. In this same action frame, I also have menu buttons that navigate to various frames within Flash. I'm not sure if I'm getting a conflict with these buttons as well. Here's the code:
var mylink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.nonamesite.com");
mylink_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(link);
}
Anyone have any suggestions??
Also, this is the error message I'm getting when clicking on the button:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter request must be non-null.
at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()
at Myflashfile_fla::MainTimeline/onClick()

Creating A Link To An Internal Website
I know that flash can create a link to an external website, my question is: does flash has the capability to link to a site (.htm file) that i created and saved on disk? if so, how do I go about doing this?
Secondly, in as2 one was able to send an e-mail message using "mail to" behavior. What is CS3's way of doing this?
Lastly, this question is for Flash CS4 users. Did adobe upgrade behaviors for AS3?

Link Button To Other Page On Website
HI!
I created a simple flash based website and when I ftp-d it the buttons wouldn't work on the home page. Because of this I took the website down, but, while it was on the net no matter which button I pressed I got an error message stating the path was incorrect. It showed the incorrect path as c:MyDocuments/FlashStuff/KARPATOK/Karpatok/history.html/
This was the path I used and that worked before I put the website on the net. Ofcourse, before I put it on the net I changed the adress in the Actions panel to:
http://www.karpatok.org/history.html (and so on for each button)
I left the Windows field empty and I left the variables field at it's default which says "Don't send". I then published the settings.
So, even with the new address for each button, for example,http://www.karpatok.org/history.html , and after I ftp-d the website to the net, when I clicked on any button on the homepage to take me to another page within the website, for example, the history button , I still got the error message "incorrect path as c:MyDocuments/FlashStuff/KARPATOK/Karpatok/history.html/"
All I would like to do is be able to click on a button on the home page that will take me to the specified page withing the website. Thank you for your time and patience with me. What am I missing?

Link Pics Off A Image Gallery To Website
i have created a Image Gallery by using
"Creating an Image Gallery in Flash" tutorial from oman3d
http://www.oman3d.com/tutorials/flas...egallery/4.php
and instead of when you click the image and a larger one being displayed,
i have been trying to get it to link to another website
(so each image within the image-gallery links to a different website)
is this possible to do? ive been at it for hours and no luck. Because each image is a movie clip and looks like you can only link buttons? im not to sure. Its probably something simple that ive done wrong
thanks
