Adding A Link To Scene
Hi,I am a total beginner in Flash and wanted to know, how to add a link that opens in a new window to a scene?I found out that on AS2 it was done in a manner similar to:
ActionScript Code:
on (release){getURL("http://www.google.com",_new)}
or something like that.Right now I got to this:
ActionScript Code:
Scene.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goTo);function goTo(e:MouseEvent) { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/"); navigateToURL(request);}
But I get an error 1061Basically I need to add a link to another web page on my banner.Help please?!

How To Link A Scene In A .swf To Another Scene In Another .swf File.
Hi,
My version is Flash 8 pro. I have created a .swf file that contains up to 10 scenes, and realized that it takes far too long to publish, or even to test movie. So now I've decided to create a new .swf for my other webpages. How do I use the
on(release) command on my buttons in my first .swf file to link to a specific scene in my second .swf file?
Example. I have 2 files <first.swf> and <second.swf>.
I want a button in <first.swf> to link to the third scene in <second.swf>.
Thank you so much!!!!

Adding A Scene Distorts Images
This seems very strange to me, but why would adding a scene to the movie lower the quality of the images I am using. I have images that look fine, but if I just add a scene to the movie the quality goes way down.
Thanks for the help,

Blurry Graphics When Adding A Scene
Hello...i'm new at this forum and here's my first question:
When i add an extra scene to my movie (flash MX 2004) than all my graphics become blurry like a bad jpg. When i delete the scene again, the graphics are perfect.
Is this a bug in flash or am i doing something wrong? The graphics I imported are png or jpg.
I tried some changes with the jpg publishing quality, but that didn't work.
So..anyone with the solution?
Thnx in advance.

Adding A Link
Hello,
I am having trouble adding a link to an animated button.
I can do it on the link "Night CLubs & Bars"
But I cant do it for the rest of them
I have uploaded the file, could anyone fill me in on how to do it I think you have to do it with action script. If someone could add a link on one button, then I can see how it is done and do it for the rest.
Here is the file
If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Adding 2 Sound Fx To A Scene But It Interupts The First Loop
Hi, i am working through one of the tutorials in swish and i have come accross a problem. IN THE TUTORIAL "THIS IS MY MESSAGE" i have added the vector graphics and the initial sound. However i wanted to added a sound effect when the first picture loaded in. When i did this my first sound loop cuts of then startes again when the sound fx is meant to cut in. So i look at sound/actions panel. I loop 88amp3 15 times and then at my first jpeg i loop a sound fx once. But when i play the whole scene my sound fx cuts in through the whole thing. When i go back to the sound panel i find that the setting have changed and the soundfx wants to play 15 times now overiding my initial 88amp3 sound loop. Its just that in future i want to put key sounds along side pics loading in and what not, and im not sure how to co-ordinate this. Anyone know what im doing wrong? Im pretty sure im close but i cant find the solution. Any takers?
Regards,
Gibbo.
Images Look Crappy When Adding Preload-scene
I have an imagesequence that should be exported with the swf in highest quality. Works great on it self and all, no problem whatsoever, UNTIL....
I added a preloader in a scene
Now when I export, the images look all crappy! Almost bitmap-like. I swear I've checked the properties of all images and the export-settings and all that.
Can someone help me with this problem?
Much appreciated,

Adding Scene Makes Images Fuzzy
I have a flash movie (flash 5) with imported PNGs for buttons. When I add a new scene (either by duplicating or adding new), the quality of these images plummets, even though I have the publish settings set to 100% jpg quality. As soon as I delete the new scene(s), the quality is restored. Obviously I can't publish a movie with poor quality images (it's like they've been enlarged and then over-sharpened in paintshop pro or similar, except they haven't). Does anyone know if/how I can remedy this? TIA
Help Adding Moviclips/Btns To My Papervision Scene
Please help. I'm new to papervision and AS3. I'm trying to spin a cube with materials and interact with buttons on the cube. I was able to assemble this:

Adding To Favourites (link Within A SWF)
Apologies in advance as this is definitely a repost, but searching through the forums on a 56K connection is painful. I remember coming across it is the past - something to do with Named Anchors and Exporting.
I need to allow a user to add to favourites, individual areas of a Flash movie. At present, If I 'Add To Favourites' it adds the link to the SWF and hence the start of the movie.
I want the user to be on something like our Portfolio and be able to Add the link, such that when they click on the link it takes them to that part of the SWF - not the start.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Using Flash MX on W2K - want this featrue to work for all browsers if possible.
Thanks

Greetings everyone. My name is Leland Webb. I am new to the flash comunity. I am also very new to flash. I have managed to build a web banner/SWF movie, and would like to find a way to ad a link to my website using this banner.

Adding A Link In Flash
Got a question for whoever knows the answer. I am trying to put a link to an outside URL on my flash site. The problem I am having is that when I use the GETURL action to try and load the URL flash tries to load the URL I am trying to get to from within my files on-line. (IE...I want to put a link to www.aaa.com on my flash site when I click the button which is linked to www.aaa.com I get the error site not found www.ipowerweb.com.www.shell.com.) If anyone can give me some insight as to why it is doing this I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks,

Adding A Link To A Movieclip
Hello, I am new to flash and inherited a template on a website that I am doing.
There is an instance of a Movie Clip that does a nice animation when hovered over and it stays glowing until no longer hovered on.
I want that instance of the Movie Clip to go to a website in a new window (_blank).
I've tried the on (click) and on (release) events for the actions of the Movie Clip, but doing so completely disables the functions of the Movie Clip so that the fancy animations don't work at all and neither does the link that I'm trying to do.
What should I be doing in order to achieve my desired effect of having an instance of a Movie Clip be a link to a website?
Thanks.
Adding A Target To Link

var headlink:URLRequest=new URLRequest("head.htm");

function headOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
head.gotoAndPlay("Over");
}
function headOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
head.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}
function headClick(event:MouseEvent):void{

Adding 'contact' Link
1.)
I'm making a website completely in Flash. I can't remember how to make a 'to contact' link; do I enter something in the 'get url' spot?

Thanks.

Link To Scene
I am trying to find a way to use a button movie clip to link to another scene when clicked on by the mouse. Almost like a hyperlink but have it go to a specified scene. I tried to use text as the link object then created an invisible button over top of it but I cant figure out how to make an invisible button. I do know that the "hit" frame on the button would have to be a keyframe and use action script to link where I want. I am just so confused and none of my books say anything about any of this. Anyone else out there ever go thru this? Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!
