Help with links in flash  :(

Hi,
I am pretty new to flash and I am making a webpage. I can not
get any of the nav links to work properly. The links are buttons
and they have up and over states. The rollovers are working fine.
The buttons have tweens on the on the main timeline because they
fall into the frame. On the last frame I go into the actions and
apply the "stop" action first, then I apply the get URL action and
type in the website URL in the script assist. When I export to swf
the rollover works but when I click on the button nothing
happens....
What am I doing wrong?????

I think so, before get URL it says on (release)
Is that right?
It is working when I export to swf but when I place the swf
file into dreamweaver and preview in browser nothing happens when I
click the buttons... :(

  • Help with linking to Flash/HTML created by Keynote

    Not sure if this has been asked before.
    I have created a website using iweb www.compliancetoday.co.uk
    I have now created a keynote presentation which I have exported to Flash. This created a swf and a html file. Of course the swf looks lousy on its own but the html linking to it looks great on my desktop (both files are in a folder). My problem is this.
    I am trying to create a page in my iweb site that will have a hyperlink which will load the swf for viewing. I have tried doing it in iweb but the hyperlink doesn't work - meaning that it keeps unticking the make hyperlink active button. (I have been publishing to local folder to make sure it works first).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Export to SWF has been dropped in the latest version of Keynote. I guess one of the reasons was that the 3D transitions would not translate to flash.
    My two work arounds can be seen here.....

  • Help with a scrolling flash panel

    Hello, Ive used the excellent tutorial to create a scrolling thumb panel (http://library.creativecow.net/articles/brimelow_lee/scrolling_thumbnail_panel/video-tutor ial.php)
    It works brilliantly and I have movie thumbs linking to a flash player. It all works fine, what Im needing help with is to change the scrolling.
    At current it scrolls up and down according to where I have set the 'line', I would like it to scroll up and down near the top and the bottom, rather than all the time (effectively creating a dead zone in the middle). I cant figure out how to change the code to get this to behave as required.
    Please Help!
    Below is the code used:
    panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
    function panelOver() {
    this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
    delete this.onRollOver;
    var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
    function scrollPanel() {
    if(_ymouseb.yMax || _xmouseb.xMax) {
    this.onRollOver = panelOver;
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    if(panel._y >= 278) {   //FIRST BUTTON 'Y' POSITION
    panel._y = 278;
    if(panel._y <= -177) { //CHANGE '229' TO THE 'Y' POSITION OF THE LAST BUTTON IN THE 'PANEL' MOVIE, POSITIONED VISIBLE WITHIN THE BOARDERS.
    panel._y = -177;
    var ydist = _ymouse - 251; //POSITION ON STAGE OF UP/DOWN SCROLLING 'LINE'
    panel._y += -ydist / 150;   //SPEED OF SCROLLING (LOWER = HIGHER)

    use:
    panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
    function panelOver() {
    this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
    delete this.onRollOver;
    var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
    function scrollPanel() {
    if(_ymouseb.yMax || _xmouseb.xMax) {

    panel._y = 278;
    if(panel._y <= -177) { //CHANGE '229' TO THE 'Y' POSITION OF THE LAST BUTTON IN THE 'PANEL' MOVIE, POSITIONED VISIBLE WITHIN THE BOARDERS.
    panel._y = -177;

    if(_ymouse>lowerY || _ymouse<upperY){

  • MAC OS 10.6.8 Using Safari 5.1 Needing Help With Updating Adobe Flash

    Hello-
    Recently Adobe Flash installed an icon in my System Preferences and when I click the icon there are several tabs.  One allows updates to check automatically.  It says it will install the latest version of Flash without having to remove the previous version, but I have never been told that a newer version is available unless I clcik "check now."  although "Check for updates automatically" is checked, I do not know where it tells me a newer version is available.  Also, there has been 5 "newer versions" available since this icon was installed in System Prefeences, I have only found out about the newer versions when I clicked "Check Now."  If I read that with this new way to install the latest Mac version of Flash does not require me to uninstall the previous version of Flash how do I install the most recent version of Flash?  Does it come in an email?
    Since it is not telling me that there is a more recent version of Flash unless I click "Check Now" should I still do it the way I used to install the latest version of flash?  (The way before this icon was added to System Preferences)?
    I would appreciate help with updating Flash to the most recent version.  I used to uninstall the older version, restart the browser and download the most recent version and install it.  It always worked find but this was before there was an Adobe icon in my system Preferences.

    Hello,
    The way you used to do this (uninstall, restart the browser, etc.) is still definitely valid and probably the "safest" way to get a new version installed.  Uninstalling shouldn't be required, but it definitely doesn't hurt.  If you feel comfortable doing it the old way, please feel free to continue using that process.
    As for notifications, this is a bit trickier, but in general you should be notified within 30 days (or so) after a new player is released.  This usually occurs when the browser loads swf content.  Clicking the button will, like you mention, immediately check.  Another alternative to finding out when a new player is released is to subscribe to our Flash Player Releases feed.
    Is there a way to be automatically notified when a new Flash Runtime release is made?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Help with creating a flash banner

    Hi,
    I need some help with a creating/replicating a flash banner I
    saw online. I cant find it anymore but I will do my best to
    describe it.
    The banner had multiple images layered on top of each other
    horizontally. Each image covered the image to the left of it. When
    you moused over an image the image expanded to full size while the
    other remained contracted.
    How can I create something with the above description? Are
    there any good tutorials for something like this or maybe someone
    can provide me with a few tips/tricks for doing this?
    I am proficient in PShop and a beginner with Flash so the
    design portion is not the hard part, just the programming/setup in
    flash is what has me stumped.
    Thanks in advance for any assitance.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Update:
    The banner on this template has an exact example of what I am
    shooting for.

  • Help with linking files

    I have several projects with 1000's of little clips in them- that have become unlinked- normally I can just use link media and that resolves it, but it seems like there has been either name changes to them (numbering in project panel seems different) or pathway to my ext hard drive has changed-help appreciated!!!

    Are you on a Mac, or a PC?
    If PC, what OS version do you have?
    The easiest way to find out exactly how your version of Windows sets drive letters is to go to Help, then type in "drive letter," without the quotation marks in the query box. You will then get all references to drive letter, and choose Setting Drive Letter, or similar syntax. That will step you through the process, and probably even provide a link to the disc management utility for your version.
    If you are on a Mac, then it would be Volume Name, but I cannot help with anything more than that, being a PC-only guy.
    Good luck,

  • Help with linked files/ compound paths please

    Hi - I am working with an illustrator file from another designer which has a compound path with linked files - when you link a new file the image is automatically resized and clipped to the path.  I am able to edit it but i want to make my own from scratch and can't figure it out. I'm working with Illustrator CS6. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Steve - thanks for the reply - my question was a bit vague as I wasn't entirely sure what I was working with but I think your point about the new linked image scaling to the same size as the existing file has helped me understand it a bit more.  What I want to know how to do is to make an entirely new file with a clipping mask that I then link an image to.  I made a file with a clipping mask on the page and then chose file>place but the image I import is not being clipped (I ticked the link option when importing it) I see it working with the existing file I'm working with but I need to know how to make a new one myself.
    If this makes it clearer here's what I want to do ...
    I am making a banner, I have 3 flat jpegs of t-shirts that I want to place on the banner without their white background.  I made a clipping mask the same shape as the outline of the t-shirt and now I want to import the jpeg so it is a linked file and is clipped by the clipping mask and so I can use it in future to import different t-shirt image in without scaling and clipping them each time.
    REally appreciate your help, thanks.

  • Help with linking buttons to Scenes

    Hey,
    Rookie to Flash and AS3. Just needed some help with my buttons. Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
    "stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
    Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
    "stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
    So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
    Please help

    First, hopefully having all your code mushed onto the same line is a copy/paste error, otherwise it should look like...
    stop();
    btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
    function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
         gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
    If the intention is to click the buttons to make them work, then you should use CLICK instead of MOUSE_DOWN.  MOUSE_DOWN can be a persistent state whereas CLICK involves releasing it afterwards.
    As for the code to get you back home, where is it located on the timeline?  Are you getting any error messages when you try to use it?
    One thing you should learn to use is the trace() function.  It is useful for troubleshooting.  You can use it now to see if your second button is talking to the function at all...
    stop();
    btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouse5DownHandler);
    function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("the button works okay");
         gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
    If you don't get that message in the output panel, you'll know the button is not properly coded to work.
    Most folks here will recommend you get away from using scenes in a design that includes navigation--they have a history of being problematic.  Instead of using scenes, divide the one main timeline up into sections or use movieclips for the sections and manage their visibility... or do a bit of both.

  • Help with linking Keynotes

    Hey, I am using Keynote 2. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated, this is what I've got. . . . . I want to have one Keynote presentation that I use as a sort of Table of Contents and create links to other keynotes that I will be using on any given night. I have the link working fine, but when the linked keynote gets to the last slide the presentation ends, I want it to go back to my contents slide. This is how powerpoint does it. Any suggestions???

    Welcome to the discussions, Amaj10.
    No, Keynote doesn't work that way. If you want a link back to your contents, you need to place a link on the last slide that will link you to the contents presentation.

  • Help with removing the Flash DRM module

    Hi,
    To be able to play DRM content, Flash requires a separate DRM module that is not bundled with the Adobe Flash installer, this is downloaded separatly upon first playback of DRM content. We've successfully implemented this flow. But we now need to be able to test it in a prober way. It seems like this module is not uninstalled when uinstalling Adobe Flash. Can anyone give us instructions on how to remove this module to be able to test this flow?

    I also had to do this, but I had different results and wanted to share what I found.
    On different operating systems, I found a Flash Player folder containing a NativeCache folder in similar places:
    Windows XP/Vista/7: %APPDATA%\Adobe\Flash Player\NativeCache
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/NativeCache
    Linux: ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/NativeCache
    I found that inside this directory there was at least one randomly named directory which contained at least one randomly named directory which contained a platform-specific 'adobecp' module. It would seem some of these random directory structures correspond to flash player versions.
    Simply removing the "NativeCache" directory was enough to trigger a re-download of the DRM module.
    I'm not sure why anyone else found a NativeModule directory or why I didn't find that directory on any of my systems. Also I'm not sure what "Roaming" means, but it is probably related to roaming profiles and ActiveDirectory.
    Your mileage may vary.

  • Need help with linked lists.

    I have a school assignment to make a linked list with a linked list.
    The first basic is to make a list of people, and link them together in a linked list. So far, so good.
    The problem comes when I'm going to make linked lists in each of these objects that include the relationships between the people in it.
    So If I have 10 peolpe in a list, person 1 might know person 3, 4 and 8. They will all know person 1 back of course. My problem is that it isn't just one group of friends, person 3 might not know person 4 and 8, but maybe he knows person 10. So all need "their own" list.
    Therefor I can't see how I'm supposed to use linked lists for them, as I can't just link them togeter with e.g. "Person nextFriend;" The text says specifically to use linked lists. Well, I'm stuck.

    But a linked list is basically just a redirect to the next in the list, right?No, a linked list is a particular implementation of a list.
    Then I can't see how it's possible to make individual friend lists.No clue what problem you're having.
    People with links
    null - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - nullThat means nothing.
    I can't see how that can be used to make independent links. Do they mean that I'm support to stort it in arrays or something then?
    The person list, is (as you can see in my "illustration") only a "next" and "previous" person, so I can't use that way to link the friends together. nextFriend and lastFriend obviously doesn't work.
    That's my problemLike I said: A Person object contains a linked list. In that linked list you put references to that Person's friends.
