Still Having Trouble Adding Link To Swf File

Trouble With Adding Buttons That Link To Other Scenes...? (PLEASE HELP)
Greetings...

I have put in the following code, to link to various scenes in my movie...
================================================
For example:

on (press, release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 6", 1);
}
================================================

Now, I place these actionscripts on the images that I converted to Flash Buttons and the following error comes up...

================================================
Example:

Scene=Scene 2, Layer=Presentations, Frame=485: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (press, release) {
================================================

When I play my movie, the "Buttons" that I created do act like real buttons (my mouse changes on MouseOver) but when I click them, nothing happens...

Why would this happen? I have other buttons in my movie, on other pages that link just fine and I used the same code... Why isn't it working now?


Thanks!!!
Dan

Adding Jpg With Popup Link To Xml File?
Hi

My website is such that all of the content is loaded from XML files (i have a lot of poetry etc that i update it quite often so the easiest way is to do it this way). Anyway you can see what I mean by visiting my site here:

http://www.mailelani.com

So, in my about section I want to add some photographs and i'm having issues loading the jpgs into the XML file. I want thumbnails and I want them to popup. Anyway I cant even get the images to load so far... if you click the about section you can see what happens

here is the code that i'm using in the xml file at the end of the text but it just erases everything below it (the o.O).

<center>
<img src='http://www.mailelani.com/about/me_small.jpg' />
<br><br>
<img src='http://www.mailelani.com/about/me_skating_small.jpg' /></center>
<br><br>
<center>o.O</center>
<br>

</abt>

any help or ideas would be great

Adding Link To Image Which Is Called Upon XML File
HI people,

I have a flash file that lods data and images from an XML file, what i would like to do is the ability to include a hyperlink to the images.

Here is the Actionscript code:


ActionScript Code:
[color=Red]images_xml = new XML();
images_xml.onLoad = startImageViewer;
images_xml.load("xml/images.xml");
images_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
//
// Show the first image and intialize variables
function startImageViewer(success) {
    if (success == true) {
        rootNode = images_xml.firstChild;
        // 'totalImages' is the variable name set to correspond with the the dynamic text instance of 'totalImages'
        totalImages = rootNode.childNodes.length;
        // [ totalImages = rootNode.childNodes.length; ] gets the total number of childNodes (total number of image and text files) in your .xml document
        firstImageNode = rootNode.firstChild;
        currentImageNode = firstImageNode;
        // 'currentIndex' is the variable name set to correspond with the dynamic text instance of 'currentIndex'
        currentIndex = 1;
        // [ currentIndex = 1; ] sets the viewer to play the first childNode (first image and text file) in your .xml document
        updateImage(firstImageNode);
    }
}
//
// Updates the current image with new image and text
function updateImage(newImageNode) {
    // 'imagePath' is the variable name set to correspond with the .jpeg file name located in your .xml document
    imagePath = newImageNode.attributes.jpegURL;
    // 'imageText' is the variable name for the instance 'textArea'
    imageText = newImageNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
    // 'targetClip' is the instance name for the movie clip 'imageArea', this is where all your image files from your .xml document are loaded
    targetClip.loadMovie(imagePath);
    // 'links added in the .xml file.
    imageLink = newImageNode.attributes.link;
    getURL("link");
    // IMPORTANT : RESCALING THE SIZE OF THE 'imageArea' MOVIE CLIP WILL AFFECT THE ORIGNAL SIZE OF WHATEVER IMAGE YOU HAVE IN YOUR IMAGES FOLDER
}
//
// Event handlers for 'Next image' and 'Previous image' buttons.
// These statements allows flash to advance or go back to the next childNode
// (next image and text) in your .xml document.
//
// The Property (.nextSibling;) evaluates the XML object and references the next sibling
// in the parent node's child list. This method returns null if the node does not
// have a next sibling node. This is a read-only property and cannot be used to
// manipulate child nodes.
//
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
    nextImageNode = currentImageNode.nextSibling;
    if (nextImageNode == null) {
        break;
    } else {
        currentIndex++;
        updateImage(nextImageNode);
        currentImageNode = nextImageNode;
    }
};
//
// Event handler for 'Previous image' button
back_btn.onRelease = function() {
    previousImageNode = currentImageNode.previousSibling;
    if (previousImageNode == null) {
        break;
    } else {
        currentIndex--;
        currentImageNode = previousImageNode;
        updateImage(previousImageNode);
    }
};[/color]

and XML file:


ActionScript Code:
[color=blue]<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- <IMAGES> is the parentNode in this XML document as well as the opening tag -->
<IMAGES>
<!-- <imageNode> is the childNode in this XML document as well as the opening tag -->
<!-- jpegURL="images/image1.jpg"> locates your image file in whatever path you specify -->
<!-- </imageNode> is the closing tag for this statement -->
<!--<slides >
<imageNode   jpegURL="images/image1.jpg" url="http://www.something.com">SOMETHING</imageNode>
<!-- Each <imageNode> statement following the firstChild is referenced as the nextSibling -->
  <imageNode jpegURL="images/image2.jpg">SOMETHING ELSE
MORE INFORMATION</imageNode>
</IMAGES>
<!-- </IMAGES> is the closing tag -->
<!-- To add more images/text for the imageViewer to display, simply copy and paste one complete <imageNode> statement and place it after the last childNode -->[/color]

Adding A Link To A Button From A Text File?
Hi,

I want to be able to add a URL to a button dynamically from a text file if possible.

On the actionscript I have the following:


Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.uniq= Math.floor(Math.random()*10000000);
loadText.sendAndLoad("flashstrip.txt", loadText, "GET");
loadText.target = this;
loadText.onLoad = function() {
this.target.Image.loadMovie(this.Image);
this.target.Button.html = loadText.BUTTON;
};

Whilst "flashstrip.txt" is as follows:


Code:
Image=fla_match.jpg&BUTTON=http://www.google.com
However all is not well.

Anyone got any suggestions? - Thank you kindly in advance.

Adding Load Bar Trouble
hey guys, i think i posted this once before but i still havnt gotten a solution.
basically what i want to achieve is a site like the "Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files" tutorial but where it says "loading" i want to replace with a loading bar. now i thought this would be pretty simple and straight forward but as hard as i try to make it work, it wont

this is my best guess so far in the 'content' actionscript

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.transition.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
_root.transition.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
loaded = true;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("opening");
}
}
}

i thought that should work but it doesnt? can anyone help me out? ill really appreciate some help.

Trouble Adding .mp3 To Project
Hello, I have just started to play around with Flash this week and I am having trouble importing an .mp3 file to my project.  It gives me the error, "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them".  However, this is only for certain .mp3 files.  I can import some .mp3's, just not all of them.  They all exist in the same folder and I made sure that the file name were legit.  I am completey lost, so if anybody could help, I would appreciate it!

Having Trouble With Dynamic Text Adding, Etc
Hello, Ive gotten lots of help here for my dynamic text and this is the last thing to complete my site.

What I have is a main scene with 2 movie clips
one movie clip you make a selection
the other movie clip shows the total cost, adding or subtracting the amount of your choice.

Its confusing so ill show you what code I have
On first frame of the main scene

Code:
_root.baseprice=700;
_root.surfaceprice=0;
_root.cupprice=0;
_root.legprice=0;
_root.addonprice=0;
_root.total_price=_root.baseprice + _root.surfaceprice + _root.cupprice + _root.legprice + _root.addonprice;


In the movie clip where I want to display the total (named "right"), i have a dynamic text field var: named "total_price" and this code in the first frame of the clip

Code:
_root.right.total_price=_root.total_price;


Now this displays the "700" like it should. But I want it to change as i make my selections in the other movie clip.
So I have this code for 3 buttons, one button makes the value 0, one 100, and one 200.

Code:
//first button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =0;

//different button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =100;

//last button
on (press) {

_root.surfaceprice =200;



So, in theory, shouldnt pressing these buttons change the value of the "_root.surfaceprice" in the main scene, then in turn chang the value of the "total_price" in the other movie clip?

Thank you for the help.

FMS 2 - Trouble Adding Application (CentOS)
Hi,

Very recently I managed to install on a CentOS 4.4 platform. I checked what services were running:

./fmsmgr list

21937 pts/0 00:00:00 fmsmaster
32580 pts/0 00:00:00 fmsadmin

I tried to develop my first test application found in 'Learning Flash Media Server 2' book. After creating the subfolder under applications folder, I them tried to add the application inside the Admin Console. The application was added momentarily and then disappeared. I went to check the messages log and by stopping and starting the fms server I was able to isolate the weird Failed messages below:

Trouble Adding Commas To String
I'm using code I found on this site to add commas to a large number (so that a number like 1000000 appears as 1,000,000). Below is the actionscript I'm using.

When I define the variable debt as any number, the script works perfectly. But if I define debt as a variable passed to the movie from a PHP file, then the script puts the commas in the wrong places (i.e., 10,000,00). Can anyone explain to me why this would happen, and how to fix it?

var input = debt;
var inputString = input.toString();
var finalString = "$";
var count = 0;
var tempString = "";
for (var i = inputString.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
count++;
tempString += inputString.charAt(i);
if ((count%3 == 0) && (i - 1 >= 0)) {
tempString += ",";
}
}
for (var k = tempString.length; k>=0; k--) {
finalString += tempString.charAt(k);
}
return(finalString);

Trouble Adding Duplicated Movieclips To Array
whats up everybody,

once again its almost time to choke the young'ns. I'm on my last nerve and someone or something is gonna catch the wrath.

i have a question or problem that seems easy enough to handle. i've been trying to store my duplicated movie clips inside an array so i can access the x and y positions later. i have duplicate about 20 movie clips and need to have their names stored in an array while they're being duplicated. here's what my code looks like so far:

var intervalID;
intervalID = setInterval(checkLoadStatus, 100);

function checkLoadStatus() {
if(Title.loaded){
clearInterval(intervalID);

//split artist string into array
aArtists = Title.artists.split(",");
aPhotos = Title.photos.split(",");

// initialize stars with Title data
star_amount = aArtists.length;
trace("XXstar_amount = " + star_amount);



//declare arrays
a_Stars = new Array(star_amount);
a_centerCheck = new Array(star_amount);


for (i=0; i<star_amount; i++){

a_Stars[i] = duplicateMovieClip("star", "star" + i, 1+i );

//set length of array
a_Stars[i] = this["star" + i];

//set boolean values to check for position
a_centerCheck[i] = false;

}
star._visible = false;
trace("AAthe elements in a_Stars: " + a_Stars[1]._name);
trace("ZZthe elements in a_centerCheck: " + a_centerCheck[5]);
}
}


the problem is that flash is not storing the elements of the array. on my trace command a_Stars array keeps coming up empty while a_centerCheck displays its elements all fine. stars(the duplicated movie clip) is a child so the target is i believe to be ok. (but is probably wrong also - i just don't know).
any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Trouble With A Link
I have a flash splash that give the user a choice of 2 sites to enter. I want it to only run once and stop and the end. I have 2 transparent rectangles that I converted to symbols that have the click event to redirect the page. They work fine while the flash is running, but when it gets to the last frame where I have stop(); the links don't work. I then tried to add another frame just to put in a gottoAndPlay(80); thinking that the stop was killing my script. But, that does the same thin. The links work while the flash is running, but when it gets to the end, they are no longer links. WTF

Having Trouble Adding Action Script To Button Symbol
Hello everyone:
I am hoping someone will read this as I am a developer in 'dires straits' with Flash ( a newbie). My problem regards a layer called "button" which has already been converted to symbol and turned into an invisible button. The problem lies when I try to use the selection tool to select it so that I can add action script to it. Instead of the actions dialogue box saying "actions-button", it says "actions-frame", and as a result, the action script doesn't work. I don't know what to do, it should be simple to select it but something is wrong. If you feel a need to help a developer in need, you can email me at support@tahutiwebsites.com, and I can e-mail you the file so that you can help. Thanks, or you can call me at 310-867-5167

Adding To Favourites (link Within A SWF)
Apologies in advance as this is definitely a repost, but searching through the forums on a 56K connection is painful. I remember coming across it is the past - something to do with Named Anchors and Exporting.

I need to allow a user to add to favourites, individual areas of a Flash movie. At present, If I 'Add To Favourites' it adds the link to the SWF and hence the start of the movie.

I want the user to be on something like our Portfolio and be able to Add the link, such that when they click on the link it takes them to that part of the SWF - not the start.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Using Flash MX on W2K - want this featrue to work for all browsers if possible.

Thanks

Adding A Link To Scene
Hi,

I am a total beginner in Flash and wanted to know, how to add a link that opens in a new window to a scene?
I found out that on AS2 it was done in a manner similar to:

ActionScript Code:
on (release)
{
getURL("http://www.google.com",_new)
}
or something like that.
Right now I got to this:

ActionScript Code:
Scene.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goTo);
function goTo(e:MouseEvent) {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/");
    navigateToURL(request);
}
But I get an error 1061

Basically I need to add a link to another web page on my banner.

Help please?!

Adding A Link In Flash
Got a question for whoever knows the answer. I am trying to put a link to an outside URL on my flash site. The problem I am having is that when I use the GETURL action to try and load the URL flash tries to load the URL I am trying to get to from within my files on-line. (IE...I want to put a link to www.aaa.com on my flash site when I click the button which is linked to www.aaa.com I get the error site not found www.ipowerweb.com.www.shell.com.) If anyone can give me some insight as to why it is doing this I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks,
Tim

Adding A Link To A Movieclip
Hello, I am new to flash and inherited a template on a website that I am doing.

There is an instance of a Movie Clip that does a nice animation when hovered over and it stays glowing until no longer hovered on.

I want that instance of the Movie Clip to go to a website in a new window (_blank).

I've tried the on (click) and on (release) events for the actions of the Movie Clip, but doing so completely disables the functions of the Movie Clip so that the fancy animations don't work at all and neither does the link that I'm trying to do.

What should I be doing in order to achieve my desired effect of having an instance of a Movie Clip be a link to a website?

Thanks.

Adding A Target To Link
I am using the following action script with a movie clip.
But the link is opening in a new window or browser tab. I want it to open in the same window or browser tab as the flash insert is on. What do I need to do?







Attach Code

var headlink:URLRequest=new URLRequest("head.htm");

head.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, headOver);
head.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, headOut);
head.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, headClick);

function headOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
head.gotoAndPlay("Over");
}
function headOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
head.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}
function headClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(headlink);
}

Adding 'contact' Link
1.)
I'm making a website completely in Flash. I can't remember how to make a 'to contact' link; do I enter something in the 'get url' spot?
2.)
What is the main advantage to using DW to upload, as opposed to doing it straight from Flash? If I do this, do I have to reprogram any of the buttons or links?

Thanks.

HELP!!!!PLEASE!!!

Adding A Link To An Image
I'm brand spanking new to aditing flash files. I have been given a .fla file to edit which is like an automatic slideshow of several images. Only, I need to add a link so that when the slideshow is clicked it will take me to a specific page.

I've downloaded the file from iStockPhotos and it has a layer of help instructions on how to change the link already in their. However, I can't locate a place to enter the link.

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
