Visited Links
Is there a 'decent' way in Flash, to create a different color for visted links?
The only way i can think of, just seems very long and laborious.
Visited Links
Is there a way to make a text button symbol such that it has a different
color after it has been visited, like in regular html. I am NOT talking
about the DOWN state but rather a VISITED state.
°°° Visited Links °°°
hello there!
i want to show when a button has been clicked on (visited), by changing the colour (or just another pictogram). How can i do this? (for an example, go http://03.asterisk.be/?03 --> you see the small icons, once visited, they turn blue). How can i do this? Is it just a simple actionscript?
thank you so much!

Now All That Is Missing Is Tracking Visited Links
Great!
Using a number of suggestions, I have ended up using the following - works exactly how I had wanted so thanks to all! An fla sample of what I ended up using is attached.
so on each button i have placed:
//on the button
on(rollOver) {
this.gotoAndStop('_over');
}
on(rollOut) {
if(_root.selected==this._name) {
this.gotoAndStop('_down');
} else {
this.gotoAndStop('_up');
}
}
on(press) {
this.gotoAndStop('_down');
if(_root.selected != 'none') {
x = eval("_root." + _root.selected);
x.gotoAndStop('_up');
}
}
on(release) {
_parent.targetx = 1697;
_parent.ScriptLatest.gotoAndPlay("move");
_parent.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.selected = this._name;
this.gotoAndStop('_down');
}
and on the 1st frame of the button layer the code:
//at _root level
_root.selected = 'none';
Again, if anyone knows how to add the function of keeping track of visited links, please let me know.

Change Color For Visited Links
I've found a couple of threads on this forum that address this question, but none of them seem to shed the light on how to handle my situation.
Is there an easy way to set the color to "visited" on over a hundred buttons ( in a really large Flash movie) if those buttons get clicked on? And I mean ........ hundreds of buttons! It's kinda time-consuming to modify each button separately.
I've tried creating two key frames for the same button, the second one being used for the "visited" state of that particular button (change the original color to some other color). But this approach doesn't seem to work, as each time I hit the "back" button in my browser, the buttons are in their "unvisited" state.
Could you help me out?
Thanks
How Can I Make Images Not Load Untill The Page They Are On Is Visited In Flash Movie?
Hey guys,
I have a question... for a website Im making, the whole site is a single flash movie--for this reason, everything in my site loads at the same time. All the images on all the different pages have to load at the beggining of the movie, since the whole movie is loaded at once. I was wondering how I can make it so images (etc) only load when the page they are on is visited. Thanks for the help.

How To Make Deep Links?
I’m trying to create “Deep Links”, but so far seems little complicated, I was wondering if there is another the way of doing this without using Java-script. I found some documentation describing some the functions, as I found out, I should use setValue to describe the arrangement of desired page, but unfortunately I don’t get how to call it.
What should I import to use SWFAddress? I would appreciate if someone would give me an example of how I can do this. I found some examples online, but I m afraid they are too complicated for me.
Thanks for your support.
How Can I Make A Slideshow With Links?
I'd like to create a slideshow that load jpgs and also corresponding URLs. So as each image fades in, it is clickable to a unique URL.
Right now, I have a simple movie with one image fading in then out as the next image fades in. Each image is up for about 7 seconds, during which time I'd like to have it link to a URL.
I imagine scripting an on Rollover event to a URL for a static image (for the duration of time when it's not fading in or out) would work but I'd like to see if anyone has a more elegant solution to this.
Thanks for any insight!
Using XML To Make Images Links
I've been working for quite some time to get a slideshow of images pulled from my xml file to each have it's own link to a separate URL when clicked. I've got the first image opening a new URL but the following images are only returning the first image's URL and not their own.
My XML file looks like this:
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<portfolio>
<img url="../images/24keys-cover-sm.jpg" title="24 Keys to Complete Success" author="by Paul J. Meyer" description="Looking for success? This is a must-read." link="http://www.theleadingedgepublishing.com/item_7/24-Keys-That-Bring-Complete-Success.html"/>
My ActionScript that looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var links_array:Array = new Array();
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
trace("XML file loaded!");
xmlNode = this;
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
trace(xmlNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.link);
links_array[i] = xmlNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.link;
}
} else {
content = "XMLfile not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("books.xml");
invisible_btn.onRelease = function(){
trace(links_array[0]);
getURL(links_array[0], "_blank");
};
I'm sure I'm doing something obvious incorrect, given that I don't know what the heck I'm doing. Any help is greatly appreciated!

How Do I Make Links In Xml PhotoGallery?

Adding Thumbnails
by kirupa | 14 June 2005
I saw the possibility to click on the larger image and link to a new html-page.
But I didn't see this described in the tutorial. Who can give me some help on how to accomplish this?
Because all the images are called on through XML should I put the link in the XML-file as well?
IF YES ; what code should I write in my flash file?
I'm very curious!

How To Make Downloading Links Using ActionScript?
Hi,
What is the Action Script code that makes me able to make a download link? I used "getURL" but this way user is forced to open the file, I want to make him able to download the file and save it to his hard disk. How I can make this?
For Example, if the file was an audio file, I don't want it to open directly with the default player, I want to make user free to save it to his PC or play it online.
Need To Make It Easy To Change Links
I have to make some generic buttons for a site and i need to make it easy for the client to change the links (get URL) without giving away the FLAs. i was thinking of supplying a text file where they can change the LINK1=" ", LINK2=" " values and have it update the button links. My "graphic" skills are great but my "variable" and "property" skills are less than desirable
i searched the forums but only found a thread that was the wrong "direction", (they had the FLA and wanted to make the change...)
any help??
TIA

How Do You Make Pop-up Windows Through Links On A Flash Page?
My band's webpage is organized such that there is a list of shows that we played. I want to be able to click on a show, and have a 350x500 pixel pop-up window with no Internet Explorer menu or scroll functions to appear with the thumbnails of the pictures. Then when one of the thumbnails is clicked, I want the picture to open in another pop-up window that is 800x600. Here is the first boxes with thumbnails: http://altbeggar.brainchasm.com/images/20030725.html
Now if you click on the thumbnails, the pictures open in a properly sized window, with no Back, Forward, Reload, menus, etc. The problem is making the page WITH the thumbnails a certain size (350x500). Can this be done. I am not much into Java-script. I am using Studio MX and used Dreamweaver for the pics pages. On the thumbnails, I did a onClick openURL property which let me specify the size of the window and gave me the option of not having the menu bars.

[CS3] How Do I Make Links Open In A New Window In Flash?
How do I make links open in a new window in Flash?
I know that
"on (release) {getURL("page.htm", "_blank");
}"
will ALWAYS open links in a new window, but what I want is when a link is clicked and "window A" opens, when other links are clicked they will still open in "window A".
Not asking for a new window to open everytime a link is clicked, and not asking for a link to open in the same window from where it was clicked.
Action script 2.0 if it helps...
-And if it helps some more, I'm doing a thumbnail gallery. I want the thumbnail when clicked to open in a new window, then all other thumbnails to open in that same window (so there aren't a zillion windows popped up).
Pop Up Window - Make Links Load In '_parent' (help)
Hi,
I have a pop up window that contains my flash animation. It loads out of a standard html page.
The problem I am having is that I want to keep the pop up window open and load links from within my flash animation that load in the parent html window.
I've tried several things but all I get is the new page either loading in '_blank' or in '_self'.
This is the same for flash's built in link maker thing (ie text and you type the link in in the properties box) and for buttons that I make.
Here is some examples of what I've tried from a button I've made. The button's instance name is 'donate'.
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() {
getURL("http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx",'_parent')
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() {
getURL("http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx",'_parent._parent')
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() {
getURL("http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx",'_root')
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() {
var donate="javascript:loadinparent('http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx', false);";
getURL(donate);
};
No matter what I try it always loads in a new window or in the pop up... It's driving me crazy!
Any help very very much appreciated!
Thanks

I've tried several things but all I get is the new page either loading in '_blank' or in '_self'.
This is the same for flash's built in link maker thing (ie text and you type the link in in the properties box) and for buttons that I make.
Here is some examples of what I've tried from a button I've made. The button's instance name is 'donate'.
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() {getURL("http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx",'_parent')
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() { getURL("http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx",'_parent._parent')
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() { getURL("http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx",'_root')
PHP Code:
donate.onPress = function() { var donate="javascript:loadinparent('http://www.famine.org.nz/donate.aspx', false);"; getURL(donate);};
No matter what I try it always loads in a new window or in the pop up... It's driving me crazy!
Any help very very much appreciated!
Thanks

How Do You Make Links In The Middle Of Long Texts?
Hello,
Lets say you have a text like this:
"Instead of laboring many hours tracing a bitmap in Illustrator or Freehand, you can use a little known Flash tool to convert a bitmap into a vector - the Trace Bitmap Tool. There are two reasons you may prefer vector over bitmap in your flash movies. One: to achieve a cool look. Two: to lower your file size."
you put that text in a text field in flash but you will need to have links on the word flash and illustrator and freehand...
how do you do the links? do you convert all the text to a graphic and then transform the works that you want in buttons??
Theres any simpler way to do this?
Thanks
How To Make Links In Dynamically Loaded Text?
Can anyone help me create links in a dynamically loaded text box? I have a dynamic text box with this code (Flash MX/1.0):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("news_txt.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.newstext;
};
I followed this tutorial (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm) but I need to be able to make links within this text. Ideally, I'd like to be able to add other HTML code to the text (bold, underline, etc.) but just being able to make hyperlinks from the .txt file would be great.
Thank you greatly for any help you can offer.

Make TextField Clickable Links To _blank Instead Of _self?
I have a movie that contains a TextField object set to show HTML, which can contain some URLs. When a user clicks on a URL, I want the new page to open up in a new window (or tab), instead of always in _self, which of course replaces the movie. I've trace'd the htmlText contents, and see TARGET="" where it's building the clickable links, which I assume the browsers interpret as the same thing as _self. Is there some better way to change the target for any URLs, short of doing a search and replace of the htmlText field?
Thanks for any help, this one has stymied me for months and will prevent a lot of likely tech support headaches when we release this applet into the wild.

Dynamic XML Menu Links--How To Make Target='_self' ?
Hello! I am a NOOBIE with actionscript, and I am working with a dynamically-loading XML menu, which works fine, except for one little problem. That is, that all of the menu links were set up to open in a new browser window, using getURL(this.data.href, "_blank");. When I try to change "_blank" to "_self", the problem remains. I would like all of the links, when clicked on, to open in the same browser window. Here is the code that refers to this:
Code:
/* this method, initMenu, loops through the menu items and their respective
sub navigation items and builds the movie clips. */
private function initMenu(nav_array:Array):Void {
// create a reference to the current class.
var thisObj = this;
// create variables which we will use to position the menu items.
var thisX:Number;
var thisY:Number;
for (var menuIndex = 0; menuIndex<nav_array.length; menuIndex++) {
// My edit for correct Positioning
if (menuIndex == 0){thisX = 13; thisY = 5;}
if (menuIndex == 1){thisX = 141; thisY = 5;}
if (menuIndex == 2){thisX = 335; thisY = 5;}
if (menuIndex == 3){thisX = 526; thisY = 5;}
if (menuIndex == 4){thisX = 618; thisY = 5;}
if (menuIndex == 5){thisX = 729; thisY = 5;}
// for each main menu item attach the menu_mc symbol from the library and position it along the x-axis.
var menuMC:MovieClip = this.m_parent_mc.attachMovie("menu_mc", "menu"+menuIndex+"_mc", menuIndex, {_x:thisX, _y:thisY});
/* store the current menu item's information within the MovieClip so you always have a reference to the sub navigation and the current menu item's link */
menuMC.data = nav_array[menuIndex];
// add a reference to the current menu movie clip in the class' m_menu_array Array.
this.m_menu_array.push(menuMC);
// set the caption on the main menu button.
menuMC.label_txt.text = menuMC.data.caption;
// create a new movie clip on the Stage which will be used to hold the submenu items.
var subMC:MovieClip = this.m_parent_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("submenu"+menuIndex+"_mc", (menuIndex*20)+100);
// set the sub menu's X and Y position on the Stage.
subMC._x = thisX;
subMC._y = menuMC._height;
// set a variable in the submenu movie clip which stores whether the current sub menu item is visible
subMC.subMenuVisible = true;
// call the hideSubMenu method which hides the sub menu item.
hideSubMenu(subMC);
// within the sub menu movie clip store a reference to the menu movie clip
subMC.parentMenu = menuMC;
// hide the sub menu movie clip on the Stage.
subMC._visible = false;
// set a variable which we will use to track the current y-position of the sub-navigation items.
var yPos:Number = thisY;
var temp_subnav_array:Array = menuMC.data.subnav_array;
/* for each sub menu item, attach a new instance of the link_mc MovieClip from the Library, set the text for the link and increment the yPos counter. */
for (var i = 0; i<temp_subnav_array.length; i++) {
var linkMC:MovieClip = subMC.attachMovie("link_mc", "link"+i+"_mc", i, {_x:0, _y:yPos});
linkMC.data = temp_subnav_array[i];
linkMC.label_txt.text = linkMC.data.caption;
linkMC.onRelease = function() {
getURL(this.data.href, "_self"); //***
trace(this.data.href);
};
yPos += linkMC._height;
}
// draw a slight 1 pixel drop shadow around the sub menu using the drawing API
var thisWidth:Number = subMC._width+1;
var thisHeight:Number = subMC._height+1;
subMC.beginFill(0x000000, 0);
subMC.moveTo(0, 0);
subMC.lineTo(thisWidth, 0);
subMC.lineTo(thisWidth, thisHeight);
subMC.lineTo(0, thisHeight);
subMC.lineTo(0, 0);
subMC.endFill();
//
menuMC.childMenu = subMC;
thisX += menuMC._width;
}
// define the onRollOver and onRelease for each main menu item.
for (var i in this.m_menu_array) {
this.m_menu_array[i].onRollOver = function() {
thisObj.showSubMenu(this.childMenu);
};
this.m_menu_array[i].onRelease = function() {
getURL(this.data.href, "_self"); //***
// trace(this.data.href);
};
}
}
The code mark with *** is where I have changed it from "_blank" to "_self".
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
