  • 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.
    Steve.

    Hi,
    This issue is fixed in Encore CS5.
    Thanks,

  • 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 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");

  • Dreamweaver simpleviewer multiple galleries button links help

    I am trying to do this:
    http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/multiple_galleries/gallery1/index .html
    and here is another good example
    http://www.designhousestudios.co.uk/sampleportfoliogallery/sampleportfolio.html
    on my page here:
    http://peachtree-designs.com/
    This seems to be the code that pertains to the different slideshows (this is from the example webpage of how I want it to be):
    <div id="header" >
    <a href = "../gallery1/index.html">Gallery 1</a> | <a href = "../gallery2/index.html">Gallery 2</a>
    </div>
    <div id="flashcontent">SimpleViewer requires JavaScript and the Flash Player. <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Flash.</a></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    The "Simple" Viewer slideshow gives instructions on how to simply embed  and I have done that successfully, a link is here in case you want to check it out:
    http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/embedded/
    I have this working fine but would like to embed several galleries. The instruction page of "simple"viewer says to create multiple galleries you just need to:
    " ...To create multiple SimpleViewer galleries, make a copy of the whole SimpleViewer gallery folder for each gallery. Create your individual galleries as normal. You can now create a menu page that links to the index.html page in each sub-folder. Here is an example that contains a menu to navigate between 2 SimpleViewer galleries."
    My confusion lies in what the heck a menu page is. I have ignored this all together and tried looking at the code from pages that give examples. especially the page that gives a download of html.
    But I don't understand how to link the buttons in Dreamweaver to create different slideshows. I've put the four slideshow folders (print, illustration, logo, design) into my main HTML page. I assume the solution is to put the code mentioned above in for each slideshow/gallery .. reference each gallery by my folders names but then somehow make the DW buttons link to those folders.
    I'll keep poking around at this and see if I can figure it out, but any input, advice or help would be SO very appreciated. If you would speak in laymans terms I'd appreciate it, I know flash well but am new to dreamweaver and not very good at codeing though I manage.
    Thanks so much in advance, sorry this is so long winded.
    sharon

    I'm actually still having a problem with the individual galleries linking to the swf. Here's an explination and I'm attaching a snapshot of the file folder structure and the html's:
    Thanks for responding :) I feel like I'm almost there, been struggling with this for a week.
    my site is here:
    http://peachtree-designs.com/web.html
    I am going with a different approach, instead of trying to link the graphics from within each gallery folder I am instead placing each gallery html outside the individual gallery folders in my root folder ... then trying to link the main html page to each html gallery file, and have each gallery file link/see the swf galleries within the folders.
    I have made separate gallery folders for each gallery, print, logo ect is in it's separate folder in the root folder of my website.
    In the main root folder I have the index.html *plus* I've put each galleries html file *outside* it's folder but directly in the root folder, so the main html webpage file can link (with the buttons) to each gallery html in the root folder.
    Problem is getting the galleries html's to connect/link to the swf gallery in each gallery folder (within the root folder) (I'd put the html's directly in it's gallery folder but then the graphics links break). "gallery not found" is what I get and I'm not sure how to do this. In the code of each gallery html is this:
      <td valign="top"><script type="text/javascript">
    var fo = new SWFObject("illustrations/viewer.swf", "viewer", "500", "500", "8", "#c5bdb2");
    fo.write("flashcontent");    
        </script></td>
    so the gallery html's in the root folder *should* be directed to each swf in it's gallery folder: illustrations/viewer.swf .. print/viewer.swf ... etc ... but it's not working.
    I'm going to try to just attach my whole site in case someone can take a look and tell me what's wrong. It's large but I'm desperate and it's hard to explain.

  • Photoshop button links- help!

    I created several different photoshop buttons that link to different pages in my website. I had never had an issue with them until I started moving the physical location of the buttons around on the page. In preview mode, all links work perfectly. However when I publish my work, the buttons are linked to all the wrong pages (they usually link to the page that used to be in that physical location).
    However I've double checked and they are all linked properly. I have no idea what is wrong.
    Here is my site. if you click on the buttons in the bottom row you will see what I mean.

  • 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");

  • Flash button  & javascript help

    I had a site up for quite a while and then one day it stopped
    working - had designed it a specific size - so had an
    intro page. On that page is
    the function
    function NewWindow(url, windowName, w, h, scroll) {
    var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;
    var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;
    winprops =
    'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+wint+',left='+winl+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable';
    win = window.open(url, windowName, winprops);
    if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) {
    win.window.focus();
    In the SWF file the button that says enter has the following
    code:
    on (release){
    getURL("javascript:NewWindow("eyeconography.html","eyeconography","800","550","no")");
    Everything worked for years - and then one day did not in any
    browser (I think). This was not the only button effected.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks for checking it out - I have a PC at work and the
    pop-up menu works on that computer, But It stopped on Macs - so now
    I think it is some security issue. I dont' know anything about the
    param name allowScripts, but maybe it has to do with that. I was
    wondering if anyone knows something that could have changed that
    would have suddenly changed the functionality of that button on
    Macs.

  • Need help using flash buttons

    Can anyone help me with flash buttons? I am trying to build
    my first website, and my five flash buttons (inside a 5 col. table)
    for page navigation work fine in testing all 5 web pages with
    mozilla firefox, and they look the same on the index page when
    testing with IE-7. However when I begin navigating to other pages
    in IE-7, the flash buttons disappear, and the 5 cols in the table
    where each flash button was placed now are not equal sizes anymore
    like they are on the index page. In my files area on the right, I
    notice 3 out of the five buttons I created have about 15 to 20
    "generations" shown there, with numbers 1 through 15 or even more
    to qualify them tacked on to the end of the names. Where do these
    come from, and why are 2 out of the five only have 1 "generation"
    each? I never expected this, and I think it has something to do
    with the problem, but maybe not. Please help me if you can!

    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...
    Your problem is caused by navigating away from the previewed
    page. In
    general, this is not a good thing to do, since root relative
    links will not
    work as expected when you do that (locally).

  • 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...

    What will happen to those who do not have Flash installed?
    What will search
    engines (which don't read Flash links) do to spider your
    site? What will
    screen assistive devices (which don't read Flash links) do to
    navigate your
    site? What will you do when you move or rename a linked page
    (DW cannot
    manage the links)?
    Most experienced people don't use Flash navigation for these
    reasons.
    > Double click
    It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
    last
    year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
    Quicktime etc)
    is handled, after losing a high profile court case.
