Creating Animated Buttons Tut-Linking The Buttons To Content
I followed Lee's excellent tut on creating buttons using movies clips.
I am rather confused as to how the buttons can be linked to content -
ie Portfolio button to portfolio page - Contact button to contact page.
Im rather new to flash 8 however from my understanding of MX2004 I know
how to create a behaviour on a button symbol to play a certain page. After playing about with Flash this evening I was unable to get any button created using the tut to link to another page.
Can someone point me in the right direction, code or otherwise.
Thanks

Help With Linking Images
Ok, I just want to create a simple scrolling section with text and image that can be updated externally using a txt file or XML.
Exactly the same as the news section on this site ...
http://www.untitledprojects.com/index3.php
I am curretly using an external txt file to update but want to start adding images below blocks of text? Where do I start? An FLA would be great. But for now why wouldnt this work ... for example?
Code:
text=
<body>
<p>this is a test</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pretendwebsite.co.uk/test.jpg"></p>
</body>
</html>
Do I need to start using XML and are there any basic tutorials on this?
Hope someone can help cos Im not getting anywhere.
Thanks.

Linking External Images
Hello,
a few days ago i asked this question and got an answer, but i couldn't get it to work. I want to link to the images in my flash file rather than embed them. this is the code I received, but It's not working, what else do i have to do.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("logo", 5);
_root.logo.loadMovie("amadeusMenu2.gif");
_root.logo._xscale = 50;
_root.logo._yscale = 50;
XML Slideshow - Linking Images
Hey all, I found a great XML based slideshow at www.whatdoiknow.org - unfortunately it doesn't include links on the images like I need. In the FAQ's he does say it's easy to do
"Not hard at all, as others in this thread have pointed out. You could easily put a ‘caption=”text”’ attribute in the xml nodes, create a variable for that text when the xml is parsed, and then apply the string to a text field."
I understand adding the caption="text" to the xml node, but the rest i"m a little confused on. The code from the actionscript is:
/****************************/

Scrolling Images And Linking
Hello.
I am fairly new to actionscript so this may be a simple problem, but i need to scroll images a certain pixel amount vertically (150px) and have it animated (smooth transition) using just an up and down arrow.
I also need to link to other files by clicking on a movie symbol, and cannot figure out how to do that either. Embedding a button in the movie doesn's seem to work, so I was wondering if there was a way to do that.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot : )
Linking To External Images?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible in flash to link to images on a different website and have them appear in the movie? If so, is there an example movie I can download somewhere? I have searched but haven't found one yet.

[CS3] AS2 - Linking To Online Images
Hi guys,
I'm busy working on a portfolio which I can email to potential clients. The basic concept is small thumbnail images which, when clicked on will show a larger version of the image. I am trying to keep it as small as possible so I tried to upload the larger images online and link the thumbnails buttons to them. This is the code I have used:
PHP Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/a05a5878b6.jpg", "_root.target");
}
The problem is when I view the swf, the online images don't appear. Is there another way to link to online images and if not, how could I link my thumbnail images to images in the library?
Hope this isn't too confusing...

Linking Images On My Website Into Flash
Hi, Can anyone please help me?
I am currently re-making a site in Fash MX (after learning the basics). I've doen ok so far, but now I have a real problem.
In the flash movie, I have created a gallery section. Within' this section the user is shown several thumbnails towards the left hand side of the movie. When a user clicks on the thumbnails, the origonal full size version is displayed to the right of the thumbnails. The origonal images are pretty large and I do not wish to load them with the preloader as it will take forever (as I have allready found out).
Is there any way I can put the images into my movie from an external location (eg. the /images/ directory on my server) or can I not have the larger images loaded when the pre-load starts and give them their own preloading sequence?
TO sum up my problem. These large images are huge...its not worth loading them all when the movie starts because it will take too long. Is there any way I can just load them when they are clicked on.
Thankyou I would be much obliged if someone could answer this question.

Dynamic Images .txt File Linking...
Hi,
One of my dynamic images folders isn't showing up the .jpgs involved.
For all folders, I have a .txt (text) document that lists all the images but it's not working on one out of three of these image folders.
To be more specific, here is what is in the .txt document:
num=3&images=image01.ext|image02.ext|image03.ext&s wfs=
That's not working! For the other image folders, the corresponding .txt document is like this:
num=3&images=website01_thumbnail.ext|website02_thu mbnail.ext|website03_thumbnail.ext&swfs=http://www.website01.com|http://www.website02.com|http://www.website03.com
Yes, the difference is that the others are active links to either URLs or .SWFs.....but for the folder that isn't working, they are to remain static images -- fine as is -- they don't need to link to anything. I just cannot understand why it's not showing the .jpgs in the empty movie clip like it is on the others??
Any ideas?
Thanks!
[F8] Linking Images Of A Server Into Flash?
Hi!
I tried searching without success...
I'm making a banner in Flsh 8 pro. The filesize grows to big, I cant get it below the servers limitations. I tried linking external jpgs to the flash with loader components but it doesn't work as long as the jpgs are on a different server as the swf file. In flashpreview the images show (I get some "Security Sandbox Violation") but when previewed in a browser they won't.
Is there any easy way around this problem? I don't know xml so i'm hoping there's a way to do it without it...
Tanks,

Linking Images In Photo Gallery: Help?
I set up a few galleries using sbeener's tutorial. I would like to link each image so visitor's may click on the image they like and have it pop up, full size in a new window. Also, I have animations I would like to have pop up and play as well (same concept I'm sure).
Can anyone tell me how this is done?

Dynamic Images Linking To External Files
How can I link to image files instead of importing them into the FLA? My web application needs to be able to 'build' a composition of images, so instead of coming up with all the combinations seperately, I thought flash would be a good fit.
Any clues?

Linking Text To Images/video Clips
I'm using MX to create projector files that will be burned onto CDs/DVDs for an interactive learning project. I've created a template with links on the left side and a large block of space in the main area. I'd like to hyperlink certain words and phrases within text blocks in the main area that will call photo images or short video clips into that location.
Since the files will be local on disks (not over the Web), I figured that most machines will be able to handle the processing load, even tho Director is supposed to be better suited for this purpose than Flash. My first question is--is this a correct assumption? Opinions?
Second question: How best to make the links for the user from the words in the text to the images/video clips. I was going to convert the specific words I want to use as links into buttons, and then use the loadMovie action to load the image or clip into the template I've created when the button is released. My guess is that there's a simpler/more efficient way to do this--particularly within a text block. Any help here greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Linking Buttons HELP
Hi there,
I hope that someone can explain me how to make my buttons work correctly. I'm trying to link between pages, using the standart procedures, of converting a link button to symbol and then using the controls to a Goto WebPage which is fine, BUT everytime when i export and publish the file, i have to click twice on a particular button to make it go to the next webpage. How can i make it work just by clicking it once??? Please, help!!!
The actionscript i alaways use for my buttons is:
on (press) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http//xxx","_self");
//End Behavior
}
Thanks

Linking Buttons To The Web
i just posted a similar question about a week ago, and with my other site it worked, but now i am building something similar and have followed the same format with buttons linking to websites, but for some reason now it wont work.
basically what i want to do is link the name of a website in a paragraph to that site. so i created a button (on it's own layer) and space in the text so that it would change colors and link to a site when clicked on.
here is my code, i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. also my files are attached. any help would be much appreciated! i'm using cs3.
maintext_btn.onRelease = function(){

Linking Buttons In CS3
Hey,
I am new to CS3, and I couldn't add action to button... so I add action to frame. My button is GumbDomov and it works, but I have one other button that also has to be linked (named GumbKontakt)
Here is the code, how could I add action for this two buttons.
GumbDomov.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://.../"),"_self");
}
....................................
If I write action like this...
GumbDomov.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://.../"),"_self");
}
GumbKontakt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://.../"),"_self");
}
It doesn't work.
How should I modify the ccode?
Thanks

Linking Buttons
Hi,
I know this is probably really easy to do but I'm fairly new to flash, I'm using Flash MX.
I have a button that I want the user to click on to open a jpeg image. I've tried using this script:
// Attach to frame
mybutton.onRelease = function () {
getURL("pathname", "_blank");
};
But all I get is this error message:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=action script, frame=1:Line 2: Statement must appear within on handler
mybutton.onRelease = function () {
Is the problem that this script doesn't work in MX? Please please please HELP!
Thank you in advance.

I'm currently working on a scene with an image loader that is linked to a series of buttons and their individual instance names. I have now placed these buttons within a cursor controlled image scroller (still within the same scene) however now the image loader can no longer read the buttons' instances in order to load the relevant images onscreen. Instead it reads the movies' instance. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Linking Buttons With MCs
I'm having trouble figuring how to get the buttons to reference the correct imageBox and position the imageHolder. The imageHolder is a movieclip on the main stage and inside of that are a series of imageBoxes attached for each image. You can click on each image and the imageHolder will move and the images will enable and disable. If you click on a button the current image will fade but then return to 100% alpha. It's not completing the disableImages function.
You can view a swf of it HERE. Probably viewing it will be better than anything I can describe.
This is the actionscript for enabling and disabling images and for positioning the imageHolder:
ActionScript Code:
function disableImages() {
for (i=0; i<imageTotal; i++) {
imageHolder["imageBox"+i].enabled = false;
}
//
var whereTo:Number = _root.imageHolder["imageBox"+p]._x+(_root["image"+p].w/2);
TweenLite.to(imageHolder, 0.75, {_x:(Stage.width/2)-whereTo, onComplete:currentImg});
}
function currentImg() {
for (i=0; i<imageTotal; i++) {
if (i == p) {
//image selected
imageHolder["imageBox"+i].enabled = false;
trace("sortDetail IF");
TweenLite.to(imageHolder["imageBox"+p].image, 0.5, {_alpha:100});
} else {
//image not selected
imageHolder["imageBox"+i].enabled = true;
}
}
}
Actionscript for creating the Buttons and whatnot:
ActionScript Code:
function createImages() {
for (i=0; i<imageTotal; i++) {
var img = this["image"+i] = new Object();
img.id = i;
img.path = xmlRoot.childNodes[i].attributes.path;
img.w = 0;
img.h = 0;
//
var t = this.imgNum.duplicateMovieClip("imgNum" + i, i);
t.toolImg = xmlRoot.childNodes[i].attributes.thumb;
t._x = this["imgNum" + (i-1)]._x + this["imgNum" + (i-1)]._width + 4;
t.num_txt.text = i+1;
t.onRollOver = over;
t.onRollOut = out;
t.onPress = released;
}
gotoAndStop("start");
}
//
infoBox.text = "Loading XML...";
function over(){
tooltip.imgTip.loadMovie(this.toolImg);
tooltip._x = this._x + 3;
tooltip._y = (this._y + this._height)-5;
tooltip._visible = true;
}
function out(){
tooltip._visible = false;
}
function released(){
TweenLite.to(imageHolder["imageBox"+p].image, 0.5, {_alpha:20});
disableImages();
trace("imgHOL = " + imageHolder["imageBox"+p]);
trace("RELEASED = " +this)
}
Thanks

Linking Buttons To Web Pages
Hello all...
I am trying to make a small web page using Flash 5. Since the .fla file size was getting a bit too big I tried to break it into 5 different files, one for each of the pages of that site (don´t know if that was the best way to go around the problem but...)
So know what happens is this: I have to link all the different pages I have, through some navigation buttons I´ve put in. What I thought I would have to do was something like... GET URL and then point out the location of the HTML file (created when you publish the .fla files) but somehow that doesn´t work when I test it on my computer. I always get some error message, like the location does not exist, or something... (maybe that is not the way this is done or maybe it is just me doing it wrong)
anyway... I was hoping someone would tell me if what I´m trying to do can be done (I think so but...) and what is the best way to so.
I hope that was clear enough...
and thank you!
Linking URLs With Buttons
I am trying to learn Flash 5.0, and here's a problem that I CAN NOT fix:
I made a flash movie that is suppose to play when you go to my website, and in this movie I have made buttons linking to my different pages within my site. I know how to have my button link to another page by using the Get URL action. But when I go to test my button out, it will load the website and play the movie (with the button with links) and then automatically goes to the page that is linked to the button. I want to be able to click the button and then go to the linking page.
Now I dont know what the on (release)does, but I tried to type it in and it won't work it says that there are errors, does this even have anything to do with my problem? Can someone please try and help if u understand this.
Thanks
Michelle
