Flash :: Swf LINK TO Another Swf

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!

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!

Can Dynamic Text Have An Embedded Link? Or HTTP Link?
I'm using the Flash scroll bar componet, which uses dynamic text, and I want to link part of my dynamic text to a specific frame in my moive. - Is it possible?
- I've tried and it doesn't allow the 'Go TO' funcion.

so,

I created another HTML page and SWF to display the specific SWF screen that I want to show up - now I'm trying to link my dynamic text to '_self' so that when the link is clicked it will look like it is in the same site.

When I use the dynamic text and create the link, it appears to be ok/workable in the Properites panel, but when published, it doesn't work.

Hide Cursor When Over Text Link (TextEvent.LINK)
Hi there!

In my application, i have custom graphic cursor. I use Mouse.hide() 'onMouseMove' . There are some special cases though, when the default mouse cursor is still visible. Like for example when:
(1) rolling over an input texfield
(2) rolling over a link: <a event:blabla>link</a>
..in html-formatted textField.

The latter is worst. Is there a way to hide the default mouse cursor in these cases? I haven't found any so far..

Cheers!

Active Link Color / Visited Link Color
Good day,
I have a simple navigation question. I've seen sites which allow buttons to have various states. Like in praystation.com- you click on a date, that date turns green. You click on another date- the old date turns red (indicating that you have already visited that link) and the new date becomes green.

How do you do that! Anyone know how that's done? It's nagging at my brain, I want to learn how, but I'm too much of a newbie to figure it out.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

can anyone help??
i have this MC with many checkboxes(say A-Z), if a user selects any one of this checkbox, there will be an icon for that particular checkbox, which pops up on another MC(call it miniclip). everytime another checkbox is selected one more icon will be added to the miniclip. this should happen irrespective of which checkbox is chosen. moreover the icons should appear in sequence.
i have tried this by making MC's visible, but am restricted as the MC does not fall in sequence.
it would be xtremely helpful if anyone can shed some light.

I thought this was pretty straightforward, but I cant get the links to work.

Many thanks

How Do I Link To Swf?
when i publish directly from my Main fla to swf, all my buttons that "load movie" work just fine, however, when i just try and open the swf, none of my links work.

here is what is on most of the buttons:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("theband.swf", 2);
}

do i need to write "root" or something?

Link To A PDF
I'm finishing up a CD-ROM application and have to impliment a link that accesses several external PDF files. Uusually I would simply use the "GetURL" tag; however, these PDFs have security functions that will not execute when opened via a browser.

Soooo... I need to somehow open them directly WITHOUT using the "GetURL" tag... is there another tag or script I can use to open these files?!

Thank you so much!!!
