Add Link to Flash Image

Hi,
I'm a bit of a newby to dreamweaver and flash. I've made some
nice buttons in flash so when you rollover and click they change
colour, make sound etc. Thing is, I thought when I imported these
into dreamweaver I'd be able to just add a link and target like
most other things. WRONG. cant see anywhere where I can add a link.
Is this possible? I want to be able to click the flash image (in
the top frame) so it opens the relevant page in the main frame.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Peter

Frames? EGAD!
The decision to use or not use frames should be based on a)
your site's
needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential
problems that frames
can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site
and for your
visitors as casual users of the site.
I am down on frames because I believe that they create many
more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that
are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also
the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems
when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b)
that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have
a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.
As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -

How to add links to different images within an animation in Photoshop CS4?

Hey guys,
I am trying to create an animation with photoshop cs4, but I was wondering if there is a way for me to add a link to each image as the animation is looping, that people can click on the image that is appearing on the screan at that particular moment and take them exactly to the link, and so on with the rest of the images within the animation. Please Help!!! I have no experience with CS4 as you can see or any other for that matter, so I would really appreciate any information that you can give me. Or if it's easier in Flash... please tell me how!! Thank you soooo much!!!

Exactly as Zeno said. You'll either need Flash/ Flash Catalyst or do it all with JavaScript inside the web design application.

How to add link to flash file (using AS 3)?

Hi all,
I have created a Flash banner ad for our company that is to be hosted on another website. This banner ad needs to have a link added to it, within the Flash file. This link will take users straight to our website but is also for the purpose of tracking.
How do I go about adding the URL? I have searched through these forums but cannot get it to work.
I am using Flash CS4 (selected to use AS 3 when I first created the file.)
From what I have read and understood, I should create a new layer, and then add the code to the first frame on that layer?
Exactly what code should I use? I tried something as simple as 'getURL("http://www.celonova.com","_self"); ' but that is not working. Is it bcos that is for AS 2 only?
My last question is...can I set up the link so that it works for ALL frames?
Sorry about the dumb questions but I am a complete newbie when it comes to the code side of Flash:(
Thank you VERY much in advance for your help!
Christine

Okay all,
I found some great tutorials for using the "invisible button" method, and have gotten it all to work (keeping my fingers crossed)!
Using AS 3:

Using AS 2:

I hope this will be of help to someone & fellow newbies

How do I add Hyperlinks to Flash Images?

I've just begun to dabble in Flash and created a neat little project first up as an experiment, but now want to learn how to take it to the next level.
I watched this tutorial...
http://youtu.be/5yjvBDgB0NA
and am now wondering how I can hyperlink the main images?
Here's the code I have:
stop();
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic1);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic3);
button4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic4);
button5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic5);
function showpic1(Event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("pic1")
function showpic2(Event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("pic2")
function showpic3(Event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("pic3")
function showpic4(Event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("pic4")
function showpic5(Event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("pic5")
I tried adding this:
On (Release)
Get URL ("http://www.google.com", window="_blank")
End On
...but it makes the images rotate through in a crazy way and breaks the mouse over function.
Can anyone teach me how to create hyperlinks for each "pic"?
Thank you

OK.
Prematurely said everything was wonderful...have had a little stumble though.
The first pic ("pic1") is linking through nicely.
BUT...
"pic2" to "pic5" is giving off an error #1009
Here's the code:
stop();
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic1);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic3);
button4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic4);
button5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showpic5);
facebook.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoFacebook);
linkedin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoLinkedIn);
youtube.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoYouTube);
twitter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoTwitter);
flickr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoFlickr);
function showpic1(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic1")
function showpic2(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic2")
function showpic3(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic3")
function showpic4(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic4")
function showpic5(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic5")
function gotoFacebook(event:MouseEvent):void {
     var FB:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://facebook.com/");
     navigateToURL(FB);
function gotoLinkedIn(event:MouseEvent):void {
     var LI:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://linkedin.com/");
     navigateToURL(LI);
function gotoYouTube(event:MouseEvent):void {
     var YT:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://youtube.com/");
     navigateToURL(YT);
function gotoTwitter(event:MouseEvent):void {
     var Tw:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://twitter.com/");
     navigateToURL(Tw);
function gotoFlickr(event:MouseEvent):void {
     var FL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://flickr.com/");
     navigateToURL(FL);
I don't understand why the first linked picture works but the others dont?
Thank you for your help

Links on Flash Files

Is there anyway to add links to flash files in Dreamweaver.
For example - I created a flash file that tranistions through a few
different images. I placed it on my home page in Dreamweaver and I
want people to be able to click the flash animation and go to
another page within my site. Is there anyway to do this within
Dreamweaver or do I have to place a url link in my Flash
file?

Yeah. I see now.

Dreamweaver/Flash Image/Link

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help. I design a small website
for the company I work for using Dreamweaver as the main program. I
have never placed a Flash image before and cannot figure out how to
place a link to another website on this image.
Here is what I have now:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
width="392" height="72">
<param name="movie"
value="../images/NOLN_banner_v1.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="../images/NOLN_banner_v1.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="392"
height="72"></embed>
</object>
I need to link this to another website other than my own. I
thought it would be like any other image in Dreamweaver. Help?
I guess I should mention the Flash image was provided by a
company wanted it linked to their site.

> I need to link this to another website other than my

It's completely unlike any other HTML element, since it's
EMBEDDED in the
page, not actually on the page.
You cannot add a link to a Flash element using HTML. You must
add this link
in the Flash Actionscript. To do that, you would have to have
Flash, and
the SWF file's parent FLA file....
Perhaps you could ask the provider to make the link for you?

How do you add a link to an image item

I have added an Image Item to a page and want to be able to add a link to that image but dont see any where you can put the link in the Image Item properties

One easy way to do this would be to add an image page, upload your image to the page, then create an html portlet with the appropriate tags to refer to the image and your link.

Link to an external URL image? In AS 2 the code is
'getURL("putaddresshere")' and in AS 3 it's 'navigateToURL("")' ...
If it's a simple image, it's easier just to import it to the
stage, save it as a symbol, put it in a timeline frame and then
code your link so on click or rollover it goes
'gotoAndPlay(framenumber)'.

Unfortunately, those slideshows aren't all that flexible. I
don't think
that Adobe supplies the source for the Flash slideshows. But
if you use
the spry slideshow, you should be able to edit the HTML in
Dreamweaver to
add links.
Have a look at one of Project Seven's graphics presentation
products -
Lightshow Magic, Slide Show Magic or Image Gallery Magic.
They're $95
each, and extremely flexible in what you can do with them.

Dw cs4 - How to add full url to image src??

i can do it manually but would like dw link to my images using the full url.
is this possible without having to add the "http://www....com/" bit myself.
thanks

It's for a project I'm working on. In normal circumstances I understand this is not needed but what I am doing is creating an HTML template page with images/flash then coping the HTML code to another site so all the images need the full URL.
Just looking for a quicker way then manually adding the HTTP:// to each graphic.
