Flash button link AS 3.0

I have a flash button link using actionscript 3.0. The animation is a fade in of a logo. The problem is that the button is only a link during the animation, ie. when the logo has fully faded in it stops becoming a link. Here is the actionscript code i am using, does anyone know where i am wrong? Thank you so much.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
myButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://flightswitch.com/home.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");

Hi,
If the logo animation is completely fade then the link is not enabled?
Is it?
Disable the logo button after it fade.

Flash button link will not work in CS4

Can anyone walk me through step by step to get a flash button link to work in CS4? I tries action scripts 2 and 3... I cut and pasted a bunch of code on line, watched tutorials, and no matter what i do, the link won't work in CS4. The button looks and works fine, but won't go to the web site ot web page after clicking on it.
At this point, I am so confused, i think it would be better if someone walked me through step by step. My email is [email protected] I can email the button is that would help. Thanks.

Flash Button Links

I hope someone can help me with this weird problem. I've been
using Flash for button links for a while but for some reason
lately, I've been having this strange problem. When you type in the
url for the site, the Flash buttons will work as far as the roll
overs and such, but the links do not work. Yet, if you click on an
html link, it will take you to that page and from then on, the
Flash buttons will work just fine. I can't understand why this
would be happening. Basically, the Flash links work fine unless you
type in the url. What's happening? Here is the link to what I'm
talking about. Try typing in the url first. You will see that the
Flash buttons don't take you to the linked webpage. Then try
clicking on an html link, and then a Flash link from there. Thanks
for the help!
http://www.surecarehomehealth.com

Okay, I've discovered that this only seems to happen if you
type surecarehomehealth.com without the "
http://www.". But why wouldn't it work with
just typing "surecarehomehealth.com"?

Flash button link?

I am also new to Flash. I made a Flash button (in Flash 8u)
that I put on my Dreamweaver created web page. I can export it to
Dreamweaver, but I am definitely missing something. It is probably
quite simple, but I can't get the button to link to another file in
my folder. The best I can do is to have the button get a url, but
it does that automatically upon opening the web page that has the
Flash button on it. I want the Flash button to go to the web page
(or file folder would be better) only when the button is clicked
on. I have tried various versions of the action script to get it to
work, but obviously I am not doing something correctly. I do not
understand writing code very well. Any help is very much
appreciated. Thanks.

This method is the preferred method: Give your button an
instance name of
myButton. Then, add the following in the actions panel to the
main timeline
on frame one:
myButton.onRelease=function(){
getURL("yourURL");

Flash button - linking to HTML page - weird problem

There could be a really easy solution for this, but I can't
figure it out. I have a simple button that links to an anchor
within an HTML page. Here the actionscript for the button:
on (release) {
getURL ("test.html#two");
when the button is pressed, the HTML page comes up but only
to the top of test.html. The '#two' is not passed to the URL .
Seems like everything after '#' is ignored. How can I get around
this?

hi
on(press)
getURL("path of html page");
}

Can there be buttons/links on or in flash object?

Hi, I have no idea how to ask this question properly. I am only designing this, not making it, so simple answers for me would be good, but also technical answers that I can pass on to the flash person.
On my home page, I am going to have 3 images that switch out, each that need to have a "learn more >" link and a 1, 2, 3, and pause buttons.
My question is whether or not these image buttons/links can be placed on or embedded in the flash object. I read this is not possible and that buttons or links have to be separate from flash. Ideally if I wanted to place a "go" button on top of my flash image, that would be great.
However I have been told the only option is to make one side of this in photoshop where I have the buttons and then place that next to the flash image. My example of this would be the msn.com home page.
If further descriptions are needed I can post an example.

Your image hasn't loaded yet, so I'll describe what you should do. Chances are you will only need one set of buttons to manage everything rather than creating a set for each image.
If you want to convert each of these items into usable buttons, then select one of them, being sure that all its pieces are selected, then right click on it and select Convert to Symbol ( select it and in the toolbar choose Modify -> Convert to Symbol).
In the interface that appears, select Button (you could also select MovieClip, but for now, select Button) and give it a name that relates to its functionality in some way, just so it is recognizable by its name in the library. Click OK.
Do that for all of the items you want to turn into buttons. To make things easier to manage, you should place the buttons on their own layer in the timeline.
If you are handing this over to someone who knows Flash, they should be able to deal with coding the buttons to function the way you want.

How can i make a button link in flash??

Hey Guys,
Im pretty new to flash but really need your help and
guidance. I have a nice video ive created, and i want to make the
buttons link to certain pages on a website it will be displayed at.
If you want to see the flash video in place on the website,
visit www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk - i want to make the buttons
to link to the following pages.
button 1. www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/index.php
button 2. www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/about_us.php
button 3. www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/
button 4.
http://loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/account.php
button 5.
http://loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/contact_us.php
Could anybody please tell me exactly what i need to do in
order to acheive that. I am using Flash CS3. Ive looked around the
net for a solution, but i honestly have no idea what im searching
for.
Your help would be very much appreciated
Thanks
Andy

See which form of ActionScript you used to make the site.
Open the Actions panel and see whether you've chosen AS versions 1
& 2, or AS 3. If you've picked the earlier versions, you can
attach a link easily to each button by clicking on the button, and
adding a little code in the Actions panel. Turn on ScriptAssist to
make it easier. Click on "on" and choose "release" or "press" or
both. Then scroll down the commands on the left and add getURL. You
will then have a few lines that say something like, on(Release)
getURL("putyourpageurlhere"). See bottom for exact syntax. That's
all. The new .html or .php page will load when the button is
clicked.
If your buttons are not actually four-state buttons, but
graphic or movie clip symbols, you will have do it a little
differently. Instead of attaching the code to a button, you attach
it to a keyframe. You give your symbol an instance name in the
property panel, then in the Actions panel create a function that
says essentially: when you click on this instance (onRelease)
getURL.
If you're using AS3, the concept is similar but the code is
different. With a quick search you can find dozens of code examples
that you can cut and paste.
Here's that AS2 button code...

Using FLash Text & Buttons Links

They have worked fine in the past, but my web pages that use
Flash buttons or text now require two mouse clicks to make the
links work work.
This problem occurred some months ago and is applicable to
all my web pages, some made years ago and some very recent, though
the most recent pages don't use them, I just don't know when this
started as at first I thought it was just on my computer.
www.kyteweb.net/pooleharbour is an example - why do the links
need two clicks - I'm lost, help gratefully received.

This is a well known issue in Internet Explorer 6 & 7.
Doesn't affect other
browsers.

Can not link flash buttons to other pages

i cant get my flash buttons to link to any pages. i keep
getting warning messages. please can some one help

You have to do this when you create the buttons in DW, or
when you make them
in Flash.
If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

Linking a flash button to a html page

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to link a
flash button to a page in DW?
Thanks

Place this actionscript into the hit area of your flash
button, then export the flash as a .swf and place onto the
dreamweaver page...
on(release){
getURL("YOUR_DESIRED_PAGE.html","_self");
This will open the new html page in the same window. Hope
that helps.
You can get a cheap but awesome tutorial on Flash buttons

Using own flash button - no link option

Hey,
This is probably a really dumb question, but I cannot figure
out how to link my own imported flash button to a page on my site.
If I select a button within DW, and click the edit option I'm
presented with the option of linking the button. If I use my own
button, clicking edit just puts me into Flash.
I don't want to use the "getURL" within flash because it
insists on too many security checks which would really ruin a
visitor's experience to my site.
Even in code view there is no hint as to a link referenced,
so I can't even fudge around with the code!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
PS.--Adobe: maybe offer a "suggested username" when
registering for your forums - not really my preferred choice of
nick, but got fed up after 20 attempts to choose one.

You cannot apply an HTML link to a Flash element. That link
must be part of
the Actionscript.

Links on Flash buttons ( CS3 )

Hi pros and newbies ,
I have a question regarding linking flash symbols /
buttons.What I mean is : after creating dynamic / interactive
symbol in Flash I want to add link to it so any help will be
welcomed.Also , After inserting "Media Flash button" in dreamweaver
and make a link on it - the browsers ask ( after cliking on it )
what program they should open it with - ? Why don't the links open
in new tabs after clicking on Flash buttons ? Thanks for any
answers.

So you have a button in Flash and you want it to take you to
a url when clicking on it?
Here is a quick example of how to do this by applying
actionscript to the button itself. When you have the button on the
stage, select it on the stage and then go into your Actions panel
to add the actionscript code at the end of this post. You can view
the FLA for this by downloading it
here.
Here is the actionscript which needs attached to your
button:

Linking flash buttons to website using div sections

Ok, I am a total Newbie at Flash and Dreamweaver and I am
having serious issues linking flash the flash buttons from my
navigation bar to the main frame on my webpage. I have the buttons
working, and they do link to a page, just they do not link to the
frame, instead they load the page as a full page itself.
I am using Dreamweaver and a website template I found online.
I believe the problem to why it is not working is because this
template doesn't seem to be using frames, and I can not find the
name of the frame to reference in the flash button actions. This
template is using a lot of <div> tags to separate the
sections in the index file.
Does anyone out there know how to link flash button actions
to open a page in a specific div section? Also, how can I make sure
that it is these div tags that are creating the frames, and how to
find out what each section is called? (I'm new to dreamweaver as
well)
This is my first post and last resort, forums don't fail me
now! Thanks to anyone out there who helps me.
Darian

use a javascript function to change the div content and the
flash externalinterface class to call the javascript
function.
