Flash :: Link Within Flash Movie

Button Link Inside Movie Clip Link To Slide #
First let me say I am a very new to ActionScript and Flash, but have a pretty good understanding of the web and a basic understanding of object oriented scripts from CSS and a few other languages.

I have a navigation menu which is a movie clip containing buttons inside it and have a slide presentation as my main content. I am trying to make the buttons link to a specific slide # in a different part of my flash presentation.

You can see the page here: http://brhpc.ericlevay.com

The nav menu is a downloaded source and the slide show is the default canned one from the Flash templates directory.

I was hoping to use the gotoandStop (slide#) to make the connection between the nav button and the slide but it does not do anything.

I will provide the source if needed...

Thanks!

Link Within Flash Movie
Hi,
I am hoping someone can post the script that I am looking for.
I am conducting research for the webmaster of the following site:
http://www.rockteach.org

When clicking on the bird flash movie (from any point within the site) we would like the web page to automatically reload/link to the main home page. (Someone else created the top section of the site -- we are now trying to modify it.

The problem is -- the bottom section of the page is a frame.

Please refer me to any useful sites or e-mail the type of script I need. I am an EXTREME newbie with little knowledge of flash.
Thanks so much,
Melani

Can I Link Outside A Flash Movie
If I create an image scroller with buttons in it could I make those buttons link out side of the flash move?
I like the idea of these scrolling navigation menus but I dont want to do my whole site in flash.
If my flash scroller has 8 buttons in it could I place it in my dreamweaver generated site. Then when one of the buttons is clicked it makes a photo open up (not popup in a new window)in my dreamweaver page
Thanks Wilder

Link On Whole Movie Flash 8
I have Flash 8 and need to put a link on the whole movie from start to finish. I found a few tutorials on how to add a link using geturl but this launches the new page automatically, I need it to only happen if the user clicks.

There are 3 layers, the first displays upto frame 50, then frame 2 and 3 display top frame 300, then the whole thing loops.

Can I put a link over everything? Thanks

I hope you can help, thanks.

Flash Movie Link
Posting this will probably make me sound like the novice that I am.

My question is(of course if it is possible):

What would the procedure be to make a flash movie into a link to another html page?

I am soo stumped with this one.

Use Flash Movie As A Link
I'm using Flash CS3 solely for my website. I made 3 small movies, all the same but different text, and I'm using them as links to other pages in the website. They animate fine. I cannot figure out the script to open my other pages by using them as the links. I tried 'load' to load my other pages, but it does nothing. Any help is appreciated. The script for the animation is below.

on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");

}

Can I Have More Than One Link In A Flash 5 Movie?
Cause as I said in my other post, I am trying to make lines of text fade in and then I want to have three lines of text each having a different effect and each line of text having a link to it. I have tried typing the first line of text, converting it to a symbol, applying the effect via a Motion Tween and then on separate layer, I would draw an invisible button (i.e. drawing a rectangle with the same background color as my movie) around the line of text I just typed, then converted it to a button symbol and applying the getURL function when I select the button and go Window, Actions...

However, when I do the same for the second line of text the link won't work. If I position my mouse precisely over a certain point (a very small point I might add) then the mouse pointer changes to a hand. But it is supposed to be over the whole line of text like the first one does. It is so confusing and I don't get why I get such a small area for the link for the second line. I draw the rectangle completely over it.

I hope I made some sense.

Btw, does it matter what I convert the line of text to (i.e. graphic or movie clip)?

Add Link To Flash Movie
Please help I am a real novice and cannot add a link to a flask movie I have created??
Do I do this in Dreamweaver or Flash?
If so how do I complete this task?
I can add a link (working on click), to a Flash Button in Macromedia using Edit (by right clicking on button). But a movie does not show this option on right click.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Luke.

E-mail Link From Flash Movie
Newbie with question about e-mail.
I set a link in a flash movie using the "get url" action to open an e-mail application (mailto:blah@blah.com) When I click on the link, the browser trys to open a web page by the name of "mailto:blah@blah.com" (same as e-mail address) Then the e-mail applicaton opens. Question: How do I keep the browser from trying to open a page named the same as my e-mail address?

Question 2: When I open a new window from a flash movie, it works fine but when I try to close the window using a java script called "close window", it gives me a dialog box saying that the web page is trying to close the window and I have to click "Yes". This is not an issue in Netscape, only IE. Thanks!

Making A Flash Movie A Link
Hi,

I realise the answer will be really simple but unfotunately the answer is currently totally eluding me!

I have a small flash movie on my website. I want it to redirect the user to my forum page on click.

I thought it would be a simple matter of putting a <a href></a> around my movie code. It doesn't seem to work though!?

Here is what I have done so far..

Code:
