Links And Frames
I'm doing a flash project for a webpage at school, and I am making a navbar. What action do I need to make the button do to send someone to a page using a frame target= command?

Links In Frames
If you have a flash file in a browser frame and it has links to your pages, how do you make them open in the main window instead of the frame itself.

Links Between Frames
Hi,

I am creating a driving game using an ariel view and snippets of code from the tutorials section. I have the car sorted and have two seperate backgrounds on seperate slides, as you can see from the source file I attached. I would like to know how to link the slides so that as the car drives off the right of the first slide, it appears on the second slide relative to where it left the first one.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

Links Between Frames (Again)
I already put this post here but I haven't even been able to get the car in my game to appear on another frame when it leaves one. Does anyone know the correct code I install into the file below to get this working?

Again, the car to drive off the right of frame 1 and appear on the left of frame 2, or anywhere on frame 2 for now. Thanks, I am new to actionscripting and understand the basics, and how the script I need to get this file running correctly won't be as simple as I first thought.

Thanks again for any help.

Frames + Links
I would like to know if anyone knows how to goto another frame with the <a> tag, like I have a text field with some links, and I want them to change frames.

Frames And Links
How would I go about using frames (the HTML thingys that split the browser screen into multiple pieces) and flash links at the same time.

I want meny in frame a to interact with frame b and switch the html file. It should work right? Is it just the same old target window command?

[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
}

Links W/html Frames
I need help,

HElp me please

Frames And Links Question
I got a really big problem. I'm trying to make a website, and I'm using Frames. Now, I want to put a link on there that would make it show the page on the other frame. Normally, this would be very easy, however, I'm using Flash and I put the link in there, now, the other page isn't Flash, just so you know. So, now, I'm trying to figure out how to make it so when the user clicks on the link in Flash, it goes to the page in the other frame. I know you have to use fscommands, but I'm not familiar on how to use them. Could anyone out there please help me?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Flash Links And Frames
I'm building a webpage with 2 frames. The frame 1 contains a flahs that works as the menu of the page with several hiperlinks, the frame 2 should be the page were each hiperlink is loaded. However i don't know how to do it.

Flash 8 Links Using Frames
I have a project about Space for school and I am using Flash 8.0 Pro to make my navigation...

In the action scripts for the buttons, i have...

Code:

on (release) {
gotoandstop(1);
getURL("planets/mercury.html", "main");
}

The goal is to have the page (in this case, mercury.html) open up in a different frame (I have the navigation frame and the content frame side by side).

However, when I try to click on it, the page opens up in a new window, as if I had getURL("planets/mercury.html", "_blank");. It is very frustrating. After looking online and finding a total of two people with the same problem, I have yet to find a solution. Please help.

How Do I Mix FLASH Links With HTML Frames?
Hi Everybody,

How do I mix FLASH links with HTML frames?
I'm so confused about FLASH links that go open an HTML FRAME page...

My FLASH movie is on a (HTML) TOP frame ....
( What I need to do look's Like this web site TOP FRAME: http://www.westonfl.org/index_fr.htm )

* How can I ad a LINK to the flash movie to open an HTML page on the MAIN FRAME of the HTML browser?

This is what I did:

* On press

* Get URL ("/sample1.html",window="Main")
( I used the name MAIN for the Frame that change the pages )
__________________________________________________ _

I use the 3 Variables available but didn't work!
* Variables >
"Don't send"
"Send using Get"
"Send using Post"

There is also the WINDOW:
_self
_blank
_parent
_top

Note. In this area I write the name of the FRAME : main
- and nothing happen... ?
___________________________________________

The name of the frame I'm calling is > Main (but nothing happen...)
When I click the link on the MOVIE a window browser open with the page > /sample1.html
but outside the HTML - FRAME not inside, the page JUMP OUT on top of the Browser......... why is that?

Do you know any place where I can find a TUTORIAL relates to this ?

Thank you so much for your help and time!

Sincerely,

Ramon Alicea

Help With Links Inside Of Flash Frames
Just kinda got Flash today.
I created a new flash document, made 3 layers, and gave them frame names.
Content, Menu, Banner.
For some reason, when I target the content frame, it doesn't actually replace it.
It opens up a new site.

(I have the actual hyperlink linking to another SWF file. I changed the target to content)

Is there some action script I should be using?

I'd really appreciate some help.

Opening Flash Links Into HTML Frames
Hello Everyone.

I am trying to create a Flash menu for my site that opens into an HTML frame. I have checked online to try and see how to get it to work, but nothing is working.

I have my action script set to open the links into the frame titled "main", but whenever I test it out, they open in a new window.

on (release) {
getURL("home.html", window="main");
}

I've also tried it without the "window=" part, but still nothing.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks so much!

Having Problems Making Duplicated Movies With Coorosponding Links To Frames In Flash4
I am making a listing that generates from a .txt doc. Each item in the list generates into a duplicated movie with an editable text field. I also have the corrosponding full information for each listing that generates into another set of duplicated movies.

The problem I and having is that since each listing generates from a duplicated movie ("form"&x with x+1 until all listings are made) and each coorosponding form generates as well, I cant link the list item to the coorosponding full item because I do not know the exact names of each since there names contain a variable.

One thing I thought of trying is to place a button in the original movie that duplicates and then as each is duplicating, set the link to be "frame&y, making y+1 after each dup. I cant find a way to set the link of a button using a variable as it is duplicating. Is there a way to set properties to a button using variables when the button is inside the movie that has been duplicated? I am using Flash 4 and ddo not have access to true arrays which would help here...

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Tadd

Button To Links
I'm new to flash and having some problems. I can't seem to get my button to open another html document. At the moment, my html document is not published. It's sitting in the same folder as the rest of my .swf and associated .html files. I've been using the getURL scripts but I must be missing something. Could someone give me an example of how this works. Also, is there an easy way to move text around in the ActionScript window? Thanks for your help!! George, from Phoenix.

What actionscript would I use to do so?

Thank you for the help =]

Hi,

I'm really new to Flash and currently have a problem. I'm designing a project with several different screens inside of it driven by a menu interface. I'm not exactly sure how to link these together inside of one movie though. Is it possible to use getURL to call a fla file and display it in the current movie?

I'm starting to think that this is all done by creating several different movies in the same fla file, but I really hope not (I've already finished them in different files).

Can anybody help me please?

Hello all,

I'm a newbie to AS3...and well just AS in general. I'm trying to create a slideshow of sorts that will cycle through upon clicking. Here's my code:

ActionScript Code:
play();
gotoAndStop(10);
sc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD1);
function onMD1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
gotoAndStop(10);
}
sc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD2);
function onMD2(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(11);
gotoAndStop(23);
}
sc3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD3);
function onMD3(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(24);
gotoAndStop(38);
}
sc4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMD4);
function onMD4(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(39);
gotoAndStop(46);
}

The above script is in a layer of it's own spanning the frames. It works fine the first time, but after that there's no linking. It's either because it's still in the function and therefore won't read the other Mouse_Down events (though return; works to no avail) or it's because of the stops. I've also tried putting stops on their own layer but it's still not working. Grr. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

}
how can i assign different button links that i duplicated above?
