XML Links Question
Hi,
Is there a way to create a list of text links, one for each category of project in my XML list. Here is a sample of my XML:
Code:
<projects>
<project name="Make It Rock Poster" description="Poster for snowboarding trip up to Lutsen, MN" category="Logo">
<image>one.jpg</image>
<image>three.jpg</image>
</project>
<project name="Bema Seat Poster" description="Poster for Bema Seat presentation at St. Cloud for Campus Crusade for Christ" category="Web">
<image>two.jpg</image>
</project>
<project name="Missian Wedding Invitation" description="Wedding invitations for Jordan and Char" category="Print">
<image>oneF.png</image>
</project>
</projects>
I'd like to create a list of links, taking the categories from the XML like this:
Logo
Print
Web
And then when you click on the link, the specific projects in that category would appear.
I have this so far:
Code:
private function addThumb(evt:TimerEvent):void
{
var a:int = evt.target.currentCount-1;
var nextThumb:Thumbnail = new Thumbnail();
nextThumb.displayTxt = xmlProjects..project[a].@name;
nextThumb.fullImage = xmlProjects..project[a].image;
nextThumb.descTxt = xmlProjects..project[a].@description;
nextThumb.x = -150;
nextThumb.y = 45+(a*nextThumb.height)+a*3;
addChildAt(nextThumb,2);
nextThumb.addEventListener("loadProject", doLoadProject);
TweenLite.to(nextThumb, 1, {x:16, ease:Quadratic.easeInOut});
}
Thanks!

Graphic Links Or Text Links On Your Index Page?
The search engines recommend text links obviously.
Is anyone here doing ok with Google using graphics links (graphic buttons etc) as opposed to plain clickable text links on their index page?
Just like to see some examples and see for myself the search engine results.
(While you are at it. Is Google listing you ok if you are using the flash detection kit.
I'm wondering if I should maybe just forget the FDK and have a clickable button to macromedia instead.)
cheers.

Problem With Links - All Pages Show All Links
I'm a Flash newbie and having problems with a site I am working on. I could sure use some help if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong.
If you hover your mouse over the pages of my site, you can link to things are on other pages. To see what I'm talking about go to MY SITE
Example...if you are on the "Main" page, hover over the right side of the big townhome. There should not be ANY links on the picture of the townhome, however, there are links to different floor plans that should be on the Floor Plans page...go to that page to see how it's laid out...each tab should have a link to a different floor plan.
Now go to the "Imenities" page. You should only be able to link to a downloadable PDF of the amenities list. But you can link to the floor plans there also...not supposed to happen.
I probably have a lot screwed up here, but sure could use some help. Please don't laugh too much. It actually works pretty good except for the linking.
If needed, you can download my .fla file at Deauxmain.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Deauxmain

Disabling Hand Cursor Over Html Links In Textfields Without Disabling Links
ive created a custom cursor using mouse.hide but have been unable to figure a way to stop the hand cursor from showing up when you roll over a link in the htmltext of a textfield.
i've tried disabling mouseEnabled, usehandcursor, and disabling the parent mc's mouseChildren and buttonMode, but none seem to work without disabling the html links themselves.
has anybody experienced the same problem or possibly solved it?
Thanks in advance.

.htm Links And .html Links Help
I have made around 6 buttons that link to sites that end in ".htm." But the links never work, because instead of doing .htm, flash for some reason changes that to .html. I don't get it either because I have checked the actionscript code and in the code it tells the button to link to a .htm page, yet flash still persists in going to a .html page! Please, someone help!

[F8] Can't Change The Links Of A Button Instance... It Changes All The Button Links
Hello all...
I know very basic flash and i'm working off a template. In the template, there are a bunch of images and when you roll the mouse over it, it shows a hand symbol and a short animation on top of the image. Now when I go and change the action script link on the button, all the links within the flash file change. how do i make a change just to the instance of the button?
I've searched the forum but I'm not getting what to do... I need your help.
Here's what HUM said in a previous posting:
If you have a button with code on it that is inside a movieclip
and you then duplicate the movieclip to make other instances ...
then any editing you do to the buttons code will also affect the other instances....to avoid this ...make sure that you duplicate
the buttons as well......so there are new instances of them as well as the movieclips....and that they are all named differently..
obviously duplicating will increase the file size of the SWF and it will take longer to load. is there a more efficient way of doing this?
thanks a million in advance.
this is the code i'm using for the button:
on (release) {
getURL("http://flashkit.com
}

Get Url Links
I have recently created a site with a frameset with a flash file in the top frame for navigation and content being diplayed in the lower frame
i have created a couple of other sites using this method however there seems to be an intermittent problem with this one
the buttons have the usual getURL links with the correct refernces to the frame in which the url is to be opened
http://www.galerieplaceneuve.com
the shockwave menu works ... 99% of the time. however occaisionally on visiting the homepage the frameset displays correctly at fisrt but then when a link is selcted from the menu panel, the URL is opened up by itself without the parent frameset (thus losing the menu bar) - refreshing the page (Ctrl+Refresh) does not always cure the problem - neither does clearing out the cache and reloading the page
i have created other sites using this method and have never encountered this problem
the swf in the menu frame is saved as flash version 4 and there is no code inside it other than the getURL links attached to the buttons
does anybody please have any ideas on why this may be happenening
if it keeps happening then i will probably resort to using a gif image for the header and map out the button links - the reason i used the flash method was the design aspect to place a subtle highlight over the button of the page which has been selected

I know this is probably a simple question
but the book i've been using is for FLASH 4
and is useless for MX. I have a simple flash
movie embedded into a Dreamweaver table.
What i want is the flash movie to play and then
either load another HTML page or make the entire
Flash window a link. everything i try comes back
as a syntax error....
here is the page --- http://www.borchetta.com/
you can see the Flash animation but i want to
lose the navigation....
I know this is probably very easy but i can't
figure it out...

not sure what to do here......
i have no problem setting up links that are w/in my document. but when i try to link, an outside link, flash automatically assumes that it needs to be internal.
i.e., i have placed a website for visitors to check out on my flash site. when you click on it, it goes to www.cluboasisrocks.com/www.country-mile.com, where cluboasisrocks is the site w/ flash.
is there a setting where flash automatically places cluboasisrocks.com in front of every url that i assign?
thanks!

Help With Links
Hi,
I am trying to change the links on nav bar menu buttons (I am using MX) and I am not sure what is going on !!??
The last button on the vertical nav bar was to guestbook, but I have changed it in text to shops with the link to shops.htm.
All the links now go to the right page when clicked however after it gets to the right page, after a few secs it then goes to the guestbook page which was the page that I changed.
When I hit the browser back button, I go back to the menu page but instantly get taken back to the guestbook page. This is on every button.
I can't seem to find any reference to guestbook in the fla anymore but I obviously have not taken it out of somewhere.
Please help!!

Help With Links
I am doing this project, and in the previous times I did stuff. I always linked things using btn objects.
But this time using a tutorial I found on the net, I mad the buttons you see after you press "templates", enlarge when you roll over with the mouse. I like this effect, but would also like to get the addec state of a color change when you roll over them too.
My real question is, how can I link the movieclips to other scenes in the project?
All the buttons in templates are movieclips instead of buttons. Now I would like to link the movieclips to other scenes. I tried using the goto and play commands but it will not work.
Thank you
