Graphic Links Or Text Links On Your Index Page?
The search engines recommend text links obviously.

Is anyone here doing ok with Google using graphics links (graphic buttons etc) as opposed to plain clickable text links on their index page?

Just like to see some examples and see for myself the search engine results.

(While you are at it. Is Google listing you ok if you are using the flash detection kit.
I'm wondering if I should maybe just forget the FDK and have a clickable button to macromedia instead.)

cheers.

Problem With Links - All Pages Show All Links
I'm a Flash newbie and having problems with a site I am working on. I could sure use some help if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong.

If you hover your mouse over the pages of my site, you can link to things are on other pages. To see what I'm talking about go to MY SITE

Example...if you are on the "Main" page, hover over the right side of the big townhome. There should not be ANY links on the picture of the townhome, however, there are links to different floor plans that should be on the Floor Plans page...go to that page to see how it's laid out...each tab should have a link to a different floor plan.

Now go to the "Imenities" page. You should only be able to link to a downloadable PDF of the amenities list. But you can link to the floor plans there also...not supposed to happen.

I probably have a lot screwed up here, but sure could use some help. Please don't laugh too much. It actually works pretty good except for the linking.

If needed, you can download my .fla file at Deauxmain.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Deauxmain

Disabling Hand Cursor Over Html Links In Textfields Without Disabling Links
ive created a custom cursor using mouse.hide but have been unable to figure a way to stop the hand cursor from showing up when you roll over a link in the htmltext of a textfield.

i've tried disabling mouseEnabled, usehandcursor, and disabling the parent mc's mouseChildren and buttonMode, but none seem to work without disabling the html links themselves.

has anybody experienced the same problem or possibly solved it?

Thanks in advance.

.htm Links And .html Links Help
I have made around 6 buttons that link to sites that end in ".htm." But the links never work, because instead of doing .htm, flash for some reason changes that to .html. I don't get it either because I have checked the actionscript code and in the code it tells the button to link to a .htm page, yet flash still persists in going to a .html page! Please, someone help!

[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
}

Get Url Links
I have recently created a site with a frameset with a flash file in the top frame for navigation and content being diplayed in the lower frame

i have created a couple of other sites using this method however there seems to be an intermittent problem with this one

the buttons have the usual getURL links with the correct refernces to the frame in which the url is to be opened

http://www.galerieplaceneuve.com

the shockwave menu works ... 99% of the time. however occaisionally on visiting the homepage the frameset displays correctly at fisrt but then when a link is selcted from the menu panel, the URL is opened up by itself without the parent frameset (thus losing the menu bar) - refreshing the page (Ctrl+Refresh) does not always cure the problem - neither does clearing out the cache and reloading the page

i have created other sites using this method and have never encountered this problem

the swf in the menu frame is saved as flash version 4 and there is no code inside it other than the getURL links attached to the buttons

does anybody please have any ideas on why this may be happenening

if it keeps happening then i will probably resort to using a gif image for the header and map out the button links - the reason i used the flash method was the design aspect to place a subtle highlight over the button of the page which has been selected

hi,

i have a few things that I want to know:
(For flash MX!)

i'm trying to make a website,and now that i have the homepage done I want to know how you make a link to another webpage.
And with another homepage i mean a link to another part of MY website.(example: if a guest on my site, klicks on "downloads"
it must go to the downloads section.

So my question is: how do you make a link to another part of the site.

thanks for your time.

I know this is probably a simple question
but the book i've been using is for FLASH 4
and is useless for MX. I have a simple flash
movie embedded into a Dreamweaver table.
What i want is the flash movie to play and then
either load another HTML page or make the entire
Flash window a link. everything i try comes back
as a syntax error....

here is the page --- http://www.borchetta.com/
you can see the Flash animation but i want to
lose the navigation....

I know this is probably very easy but i can't
figure it out...

could someone please tell me how you would you creat a link to an outside webpage through flash? Thanks!

Links
not sure what to do here......

i have no problem setting up links that are w/in my document. but when i try to link, an outside link, flash automatically assumes that it needs to be internal.

i.e., i have placed a website for visitors to check out on my flash site. when you click on it, it goes to www.cluboasisrocks.com/www.country-mile.com, where cluboasisrocks is the site w/ flash.

is there a setting where flash automatically places cluboasisrocks.com in front of every url that i assign?

thanks!
