Botton To Html Page
so i made this button right.
well when i bring it into dreamweaver it goes to the proper sight , thats good.
but i want to be able to use the same button through out my sight with out haveing to go back to flash and change every the button for each link. which i already did, but would rather not keep it this way because of file size and all. ...
when your in dreamweaver you can impart flash buttons from a predefinded list and there you have options to do this but not with your own custom one. catch my drift?
i hope so.
if you can answer this you are one smart cookie.

you can see the page at www.trinityfire.netfirms.com

Html Link And Flash Link On Intro Page
I've noticed that a lot of Flash sites have some kind of detector to see if you have the flash plug in. Is that scripting?
Plus, I see that the intro page of ones site will have an HTML and a FLASH option to choose from to enter the site. Would that be enabled in the publish settings of Flash 5? I am curious to know how that is done because I am designing this young lady's site and she wants the viewers to have the options of HTML or Flash.

Thanks!

Creating A New Page Within The Same Page (linking)
Does anyone know the correct code to be able to create a new page within a new page ...

here is the script I have now
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.bigtimebanners.com/gallery.htm", "_parent");
}

-> is "_parent" the same thing as "_blank" ?????

I think this opens up a new page but everytime it does it always says "New Page 1 Microsoft Internet Explorer" at the bottom instead of the correct page ...Correct me if I am wrong but people won't be able to bookmark me if it always says New Page 1...

Here is my site http://www.bigtimebanners.com

Please click from home to gallery to links and you will notice at the bottom, that the page identification at the bottom never changes.

thanks in advance

Creating A Link That Does Nothing
Hello, I have a question that doesn't quite pertain to flash, but perhaps you experts might be able to help.

I am trying to create a text link in HTML, that will enable the user to click on the link without it actually going anywhere. That is, I would like to have a particular word highlighted so that it behaves like a link - your mouse changes into a hand or a finger like it would if it were a link, but when you clicked on it, it didn't go anywhere.

I tried a blank <A HREF=""> statement but it simply took it as a file name and opened up a ERROR 404.

If anyone could help, I would be the happiest person in the world.

Creating A Link Using Id3 Tag
Hi,
I am trying to create a link using id3 tag. I tried to use a href tag in the script and cannot find the way to get this work so far. The whole purpose of this is to give a credit to an artist who provided a track to me...
Could anyone help me with this line?

Here is the part of AS for MP3 player:


Code:
bgMusic.onID3 = function() {
trackInfo.text = "track: " + bgMusic.id3.TIT2 + " by " + bgMusic.id3.TPE1 + " from <a href=" + bgMusic.id3.COMM + ">" + bgMusic.id3.COMM + "</a>";
// id3.COMM has a site's name such as www.flashkit.com
}
When I test this, the whole tag <a href=xxxxx appears on the textfield and no link functionality there. I tried placing single quoates around href tag, but no improvement.

Also, I was wondering what I need to do to have the link open a new window...

Thank you for your help!

Help Creating A Link.
I'm actually quite new to flash and actionscripting, so I thought downloading a template would make things easier... NOT!!!!

All I want to do is make the buttons on my menu link to the next page. Here is the script on the button:

on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
}
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
_root["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = 1;
}
}

I know that the first part of this code has to do with the animations on the button, however, that last part (the release part) is referring to what link?

I tried adding getURL, however, the button does nothing, all it does is play the animation. Please help!!!

Help Creating A Link
Ok I need help creating links with my banner. It's a take off of Macromedia's tutorial banner for the Coffee Shop.
What it is, is a banner. You have the "Front page" of the banner. And it has a next button. The User clicks the next button and it displays the next "page" of the banner. I WANT the user to then click THAT page (or somewhere) on that "page" to be directed to a whole new page IN the current browser window. Can ANYONE please tell me how to change the script below so it will do that?

/* 0 */
var image0title:String = "Click Next To View:";
var image0desc:String = "Photos, Videos, Forums, Screen-Shots, Stories And Much, Much More";
var image0uri:String = "images/Ban1.jpg";
/* 1 */
var image1title:String = "Video Section";
var image1desc:String = "Click Here to view a multitude of videos we've made ourselves.";
var image1uri:String = "images/Ban2.jpg";

The image1title:String is my title text on my banner.
The image1desc:String is the description text on my banner.
The images/ban2.jpg is my background image on my banner.

I don't care of some of that TEXT is the link....or what I really want is the background img to be the link. Either works for me can anyone please fix this? I've only spent 2 hours on ActionScripting and trying to learn. I couldn't figure out how to do it through the tutorials. Thanks. IM or email me! eve_ruso@yahoo.com

Creating A Button Link With .as
have a look at http://www.carter-design.com/new

this is a project I am currently working on and am stuck with one particular area.

In the work section I want to display a list of clients and the project. I will need to update this as easy as possible (with my limited amount of actionscripting knowledge). I have made the list you see on the site by making a movieclip called clientlist - inside that movie clip is a textbox with the variable name 'client'. and on another layer a overstate button with a rollover state being a orange line. I then go back to the main stage at have written some code to duplicate the movie clip and give each duplicated movie clip its own movieclip name. All I then need to do to change the client names is refer to the movieclip name generated and the variable name for the text box

ie. clientlist.client8 = "Coca Cola"

This works fine, and all clients have a rollover state with an orange line. My problem is, how do I make a different link for each of the duplicated movieclips )(with the orange over state button in it) to load another .swf on a higger level. How do I name the link.

Does this make sense.

have a look again at http://www.carter-design.com/new in the work section to see if what I say is clear enough.

Dont worry about preloaders and formatting as I am still working on this. Your help would be much appreciated.

Please talk to me as if I were stupid as I dont have great actionscripting skills.

Regards

Creating Bilingual Link
Hi..
i'm a newbie in flash and right now i want to create website bilingual (france and english)and each contents using external files(xml,images).
normally, i'd just create for each language a different layers to thread each button link but i think it wouldn't efficient if i add other languange in the future.
for example, if a user click one of the flag button/image(UK or France) in front menu, it will be forward to another frame and call the content of its frame (buttons,textes,etc). I'd like to know what kind of command (if exist) in actionscript as shortcut to verify which flag buttons that have been executed from the front menu and then call the content which correspond to each language.
thank you for the explanation

Creating A Link To Url *and* Different Frame
first off, thanks for any help in advance...total newb here.

i have a menu in flash and each part of the menu is set to go to its destined marker when clicked, like any other normal flash menu. now, can anyone tell me how to set a different link to a URL in a differnet frame (like html frames, not flash) in the same page, *within* the same link in the menu? i think that sounds confusing so i'll give an example..

in my flash menu, if you click contact it goes to marker "contact", but when you click contact i want to set a frame (again, html frame) to load a contact page, as well.

i know i probably made this sound way more complicated than it needed to be. is this a simple actionscript that someone could just copy/paste for me? thanks again!

Creating A Link From Flah
Newbie and pulling hair out. Trying to create a link inside flash file to goto a url. File type ".fla" contains a layered photoshop file that has been animated. Would like to click anywhere inside flash file to goto URL. Before posting have tried numerous things from button symbol to movie clip, etc. Have not found flash help helpful. I'm sure it is my lack of experience inside flash, viewed forum topics and tried several things listed all to no avail. Would appreciate it if someone could give step by step instruction, or an example file that showed the steps.

Am I so dense with Flash CS3 or is this program really that difficult. Have little or no problems with Photoshop, Illustrator, LiveMotion and other adobe products....what am I not understanding.

Thanks in advance.

Creating A Site Map And Link
Hey folks, new to these forums, but I'm on a deadline for this evening, and I have an entire flash site ready, with only one small problem:

The Site Map. I've uploaded my .FLA for people to have a look at, so I can get some serious help with this.

Just reply here if you can take a look.

As you'll see if you download the file, there's a site map button in the upper right corner, that does nothing when you click it.

Now, there are 5 main pages, the Home Page, M.Maurus page, Equipment, On Assignment and Contacts page. I want to make a 6th, and have that be the Site Map, and then link to it from the button in the top right. Can someone please give it a shot and let me know ASAP? I have about 2.5 hours to get this done, and I'm turning to these forums for the help I need! Please let me know, and the process you used to complete it!!!

Thanks,
G

Creating An Email Link.
Hi guys... it's been a while.

I have an email button on my site and I want to know how to set it up. Is it a "getURL" thing or some sort of "mailto:" deal.

You are all familiar with the email links that open an outlook email with the address in the "To:" field... Well that's what I'm trying to do but I'm stuck. I know this is probably an easy one to answer but I've tried everything. Any suggestions?
