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!

A Link Through A Button?
Im a newb i was hoping someone could help me with this....
Ok i know how to make buttons and all but now how do i get the down frame to be set when you click it it takes you to a webpage? only way i have figured out is set the button with action script the the original scene since the action script commands for it is unavailible when i try to set it to the down frame and when i just set it to the whole button and i test the movie it just pops up a wbepage everytime it goes through that portion of the movie....so basically my question is how do i set the down frame of the button to have it direct you to a diffrent area of a webpage? or open a diffrent page

BUTTON LINK
I can't <b>link</b> (target) my <b>button</b> to an Iframe! I cant even link my buttons to anything! I've tried many times, and I've posted help everywhere, and cannot get anything! I need to link my button to the IFRAME, so when you click on the buttons, it changes the content in the IFRAME. Its just like frames, except using buttons instead of words, and IFrames instead of just normal frames. <b>I need major help!</b> If you still dont understand what i mean, go to the flashkit <b>guestbook</b>, and at the guestbook, you can see these buttons, that you click on, and the content changes in the iframe. That's what i'm trying to do on my site, but unable to do that. Pretend < > is ( ). I did, (a href="...html" TARGET="...")(object...*button*)(/object)(/a) *the (object) was there already for the button. And it wont work! But that's how it said in many sites. <b>PLEASE REPLY to: xiluvfreddiex@hotmail.com IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER THE MY PROBLEM!</b> THANKS!
Button Link
Hi everybody,
i have a question about a button link. When i make the the text into a button there is a mistake. I want to have the text into a button when you move over not only the text is a button but also a rectangle around it.If you move with you mouse over the button your mouse is a hand just over the text. I would like it to have a hand in a rectangle around the text if you know what i mean. I just don't know how to do that. I hope you can help me.
Thanks,

Button/Link Help Please :)
Hello
Hoping someone may be able to help me with a problem!
I've created a website using a long (800x2310 pixels) flash movie, and down the bottom of the first page i have a link to another frame.
Yet, when you click the link it goes to the next frame, but down the bottom of the page, instead of to the top, making it look rather funny!
I was wondering if there is a way of making the link refresh/reload the page so it goes to the top??
To see what i am meaning (if i don't make sense!) go to www.positiveenergy.info - down the bottom of the About The Positive Energy Company page there is a underlined text link to The Oracle, if you click this you will get what i am trying to do!
Thanks for your time Have a FANTASIC day/nite!!

How Do I Put A URL Link In This Button?
yeh i know its dumb but I bought something off of flashden.net.. and i'm confused about putting a link in the code.. ITs probably so simple. its just a scrolling list for navigation... but it has dummy items.. When i went to add my own lists to it, it so weird. Heres what it looks like
//------------------------------------------------
//total menu items
ti = 10;
//------------------------------------------------
//set up some demo items
n = 0;
while (Number(n)<Number(ti)) {
set("item" add n, "item" add n);
n = Number(n)+1;
}
//------------------------------------------------
//what to do with YOURs?
//remove the above LOOP (which creates dummy variable names.) START at "0"!!!!! Create variables named item0="blah", item1="test", item2="and so on..." and you're set! Look at the button action. It is currently set to GETURL and load a "swf" file with the same name as the button you just clicked on into a placeholder (which does not exist in this demo).
So what do i do to add a link to say "contact" that goes to a url?
thanks any help is greatly appreciated!

Button > Url Link
My connection is having probs using the search and is taking forever so i am sorry that this is a question that has already been answered a billion times before.
However, I am trying to link another page using the
on(release)
{
getURL("http://www....","_blank");
}
Ive been told that I have to select the instance button on the main scene and type it in the actions, but flash wont let me type. If however I select the keyframe on the timeline instead, I can type into the actions window but for some reason the link doesnt work. BTW my button is inside a movie clip which is on the main scene, does this matter?

How Do I Link To A URL From A Button?
I have just learned how to make a button (dot) that changes colors in the up, over and down states. Now, how do I make that button link to a URL on the web when someone clicks on it? Also, I imported the button into a movie and then tried to type text next to it, but the text won't stay on the screen. I want to make a flash file that has several buttons (dots) with URL links and text - so that you can click on the dots and go to certain web sites. Is this done with actions or properties? I'm new to this and still learning basic Flash. Thanks.
Xml Button Link
Please forgive me if this has been addressed specifically, I have looked, but have not been able to solve my problem.
I have added a button to Lee?s Carousel tutorial that comes up with the text. All I am trying to do is add a link to that button from the xml. Most of the threads that I have seen add links to the icons themselves. I seem to be missing something (probably somthing rather simple) when trying to convert these links to an individual button.
Thanks

Button-link Difficulties. =/
"Perhaps I've been using the wrong search string, or looking in the wrong forums, but I have not found a solution to my ever-longing quest for common sense."
I have an index.html which is split into three horizontal frames, in which the top frame has a spiffy Flash button-menu I created. I've made several buttons before with no trouble, but they were simpletons that sent you to another page without the use of frames.
My question is: how can I get the URL from my Flash button-menu to send to a different frame? I know how to accomplish this in HTML using the FRAME NAME and TARGET tags, but haven't found a way to do this in Flash.

Flash Link Button---HELP
Hello-
Im trying to use an animated link button for my new portfolio website, and Im stuck.
Please go to-
http://www.kentleech.com/nu.site/mainframe.html
Click on transport, across the top. Up comes and image with a discription, and a little flash movie of a button saying 'next'.
Each image will have this 'next' animated button, linking it to the next image.
My question is how do you make a link from this button without loading a new button with a dedicated link every time?
I thought I was being clever and put an a href tag in front of the movie in the html, as you would with a gif or whatever. It works on the mac explorer only, nothing else. Do I do some scripting???? HELP!!!!
Thanks a bunch- Kent
