Button linked to URL adds %00 to end of address
I hope someone can help me with this I've been looking
everywhere and haven't been able to find anything that addresses my
problem. I have a movie clip that is acting as a button in my flash
project. When I test the project and try to hit a button that is
supposed to take me to a web page(www.mydomain.com). The button
does open a new browser window, but the address is shown as
"www.mydomain.com%00". Since the %00 has been added on I get an
invalid URL. I keep checking my code and it seems to be the same
code that everyone else is using, except for some reason mine keeps
adding "%00"! So I don't think the problem is in my coding... If I
embed the flash into an html page, then it works great, but my
project is for CD distribution not the web. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
Yes that's the link, and I have gotten it to work within a
web browser. But the final release of this will be on a CD or DVD.
So it works fine when it's in a browser, but I wanted to keep it as
an swf so it could be used on any platform(Mac/PC). But the link
doesn't work when I test the movie, or when you just launch the
swf. It will open up a new browser window and then you get the
"%00" added on the end of the address making it an invalid
URL.

Transparent Button Link to URL not working when I publish
I am using mulitple tranparent buttons (over text) as a link to open a URL file in a seperate window on our company intranet. I created this file 6 months ago and it always works fine. Today, I needed to update the file and add another transparent button to link to a new url. When I preview the file, everything works fine and a browser window will open showing the correct web page but when I publish the file, nothing happens. None of the links work.
I have updated this file in the past and I have never had a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions. This should be a two minute update for me but has turned into a big problem.
Thanks,
JeffHi Jeff
What you might consider doing is to declare a common output folder. Then flag that folder as safe. Normally that's a one off and it just holds. But you do have the option of clearing the list of "safe" folders. Perhaps something clobbered that at some point.
Additionally, once you copy the content to a web server and view it in the browser using a URL, you shouldn't have any concerns. The link should work for all users.
Cheers... Rick

So I've looked at w3schools.com for a tutorial on how to get
a button to link to a URL by clickint the "+" symbol in the action
window and click the "GetURL" aciton.
but while having the button clicked, the action window says
"Current selection cannot have actions applied to it"
any help?
thanks!
PS. i apologize if this was posted before, i did do a good
search and didnt find anythingI see now that I have misread the situation, please disregard
as appropriate.
I don't have a lot of experience, but I think I know what
might be happening. It took me some time to realize that up, over,
and down states of a button are really ways to register how you
want your button to appear in any or all of those states. I kept
trying to make links happen there and got the same kind of error
messages you mentioned. If it can be done that way, I haven't
figured it out.
It appears that you are trying to figure out actionscript
with the tools across the top of the action frame. This is not a
complete list of what you can do.
If you want to link to a URL, type in the actions area:
my_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("
http://www.adobe.com");
For any of this to work, you also have to be sure that you
have given an instance name to your button and are using that
instance name (my_btn or whatever you've named it) in your
actionscript. You can choose .onMouseDown if you prefer to
onRelease. Try to avoid onPress since that will allow multiple
pages of your intended URL to appear as long as the mouse is being
pressed. You'd be surprised how quickly that can happen. I have
found that onRelease works best.
If I've misread the situation and been too simplistic, I
apologize. I have been helped by the kind folks here and I want to
give back, where I can. I find this confusing and fun, and continue
to plug on and learn what I can where I can. -
Autocomplete adds characters to end of address
Hi-- I'm now remembering why I switched to Thunderbird. When I use autocomplete for my addresses, the email usually gets bounced back, and it appears that somewhere along the line a question mark has been added to the end of the address. I have checked for extra characters in my address book and there don't seem to be any. Does anyone know what this problem might be caused by? Thanks.
Hi McKweiss, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try removing the old or bad ones...

Hi
Macbook Pro 13, OS X 10.7.4, Safari (latest rev).
I have discovered that the "Add This" extension with Safari causes Gmail to disable buttons/links. Disabling "Add This" clears the problem. Needs fixing!
Thanks
PaulHi Paul,
MacBook Pro 15, OS X 10.8.5, Safari
Thanks for posting this information. I had been searching for a solution to this same problem and came across your post. I am not even sure how or why I got "Add This" in the first place but have deleted and problem solved.
Thanks,

Linking a MovieClip button to a URL?
Hello all,
I have recently followed a Adobe Flash tutorial, which has helped me make MovieClip buttons which extend to the left when hovered over.
This tutorial can be found here:
http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/05/flash-cs3-tutorial-movie-clip-buttons/
An example and download link for the project is at the bottom of that page.
Everything on the tutorial went fine, but now I am trying to work out how to make these MovieClip buttons link to another URL.
What code do I need to do this, and where do I need to put it?
Any help is appriciated, I am using Flash version CS5.5
Thanks,
VanillaBelow is the Code to load an url
btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onButtonClick);
function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.foundation-flash.com/");

Add "target=newwin" to link component URL?
I want to be able to have a link open in a new browser window. There does not seem to be a parameter or setting that allows for this, so I want to find the link url in the portal30 schema and manually add the target. I found the Application Id and the componenent Id, but can fidn the table that contains the link url. Does anyone know what table contains this detail?
If you are linking to an portal application component, I fear you won't be able add "_new" link in url as the url is generated at runtime.

Linking a URL to a button in Flash
I am building a website and the top navigation is in Flash. Each button links to a HTML page. My problem is that when each button is clicked it jumps to the wrong page and I can't figure out why as the URL links are correct. The buttons are movieclips if that makes any difference...
Here is a sample of the code I'm using for my buttons:
onClipEvent (mouseUp){
getURL("index.php","_self","GET");
I have also tried using:
onClipEvent (mouseDown){
getURL("index.php","_self");
... But it doesn't work either. Any help would be fantastic as I'm starting to pull my hair out with this thing!I have also tried:
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
this.mouseDown = function() {
getURL("index.php","_self");
With no success... -

/* ~~ These are the columns for the layout. ~~
1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the left instead of the right, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all left instead of all right) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

I feel like I'm making a mess of it. -
Is it possible to open an folio at a specific page from external link using URL scheme?
We want to link into a folio from another app we are creating. We can open the Viewer app with the URL scheme we define in the app (e.g. com.name.app ). However this always opens the app on the home screen.
Ideally we'd like to link into a specific folio or even page within the folio. Is this possible by using some sort of querystring/identifier/anchor on the end of the URL scheme?Yes, its possible but officially not supported and is not fully tested. Check DPS Tips App by Bob Bringhurst (https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt=8)

Button Link Transitions with Audio?
Ive got a question on what can be used as a Button Transition. I have a 10 sec. AV in PP2, that I want to use. In general, no problems. Ive Exported the Video to DV-AVI (silent), and it works beautifully. I only have to do a blend from the Menu for the head and then a still from the Timeline at the tail. No biggie. What I am having problems with is getting an SFX Audio file into the PP2 Sequence for this Transition. So far, I am having problems. I tried to make a Timeline for this AVI with an AC3 Audio, but Encore2 would not allow a link to it, via the Pickwhip. I tried to Import several variations of muxed files, but kept getting errors with the number of channels on Import. Then, I did a muxed MPEG file, and got my first big "Crash" of Encore2. When I linked to the M2v, I got something about Abbie Normal Condition. Wasnt he the founder of the Yippies back in the 60s, along with poet, Allen Ginsberg? The error (really An Abnormal Condition... Please try to Save... ) came up and I could not even exit from Encore2. Had to finally use TaskManager to kill the Process. This was a first for me after all of these years. Lesson - do not use the M2v as a Button Transition!
Now, Im certain that there are possibilities that I have not tried, but before I beat what could be a dead horse, I wanted to find out one thing: can I even have Audio in a Button Transition?
I have total control over my Asset, so I can engage in any workaround necessary. If anyone has any info (Help/Manual do not go deeply into specifics on Button Transitions, and even Jeffs Book, Focal Easy Guide... doesnt mention them, as I can find.), Id greatly appreciate it. Same for any ideas on using Audio for these. In my case, its a bit of an electronic whoosh with a long gong tone, and moves left to right and rear to front to rear (in the 5.1 version). I do not need to do 5.1, as stereo, panned left to right would work fine too.
Appreciate the direction, thoughts and ideas,
HuntJbowden,
Thanks for the simple little test. I just linked my existing SFX AC3 to the Main Menu's Audio and it worked fine. The pan/fade of the 5.1 was intact and worked in Preview.
I Exported the Button Transition test as a DV-AVI/PCM WAV from PP2, and Imported as a Timeline into Encore2. Tested and it played fine, but there was just the left-right pan, as expected. Linked my Button #1 to the AVI, as it would not link to the Timeline (as before), and went to Preview - "An Abnormal Condition... Save... " happened again. It is obviously not just the M2v, but the AVI, as well.
Back to square one in my tests. I've been working with a preliminary, test Project in Encore. It was used to create a DVD set for client review of most other aspects of the Project. It contained 4 Dynamic Links to AE, which were rendered out, plus 2 Menus a short lead-in AVI and some other Assets. Without any Button Transitions, it previewed and burned perfectly.
What I am going to do now is create a fresh Encore2 Project. Initially, it will only have the Play First AVI, the two Menus (Main & Scene Selection) and then I'll work with just the Button Transitions - all other Assets will not be included. I want to eliminate any other possible problem from the mix.
One thing that occurred to me was that this Project was a very full DVD. Though the Transcode is Automatic, I wonder if I am now adding too much to an already Transcoded Project. Rather than clear all Caches, and Revert to the unTranscoded state in this Project, I'll build, instead, from scratch. If that works, I'll just do the Button Transitions for the Scene Select Menu (4 Buttons/Links) and test again. If it still goes well, I'll add in the Rendered AE files and probably not use DL this time. Then, I'll Transcode and test to see if it all holds up. This method will not tell us exactly where the problem lies, if it works at all, but then when I have time, I can go back and clean Caches and Revert the Assets for a final test.
To date, the motion-only Button Transitions worked fine. It was only when I have tried (several different schemes) to add Audio, that I have encountered the problem.
Should have the preliminary test this AM, as the Project is very simple and starting over is not a big deal.
One side observation that I have made is that after I had to use TaskManager to end the Encore2 Process the other day, it now takes Encore2 a few minutes to even get the Splash Screen up. This is new behavior. I also cannot shift focus to/from Encore2 (with PP2 open), by clicking on the icon in the Taskbar. Even Rt-clicking and choosing Restore does not Maximize it. Only by going to TaskManager and clicking on the Application does it Maximize. As this was my first Encore2 "Crash," I am not sure what might be happening there. If I can get this Project done, I'll probably do a Repair Installation of Encore2, to see if the new behavior subsides.
Thanks for the input. Will be back with followups.

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");

Excuse me if this has been addressed, I have looked and not
found it. I am about 12 hours into using Captivate, love what it
can do, but have run into issues creating navigation.
I have a basic vertical navigation of about 8 buttons
launching individual .swfs. I wanted this nav to remain throughout
each slide over the entire project. Seems like it's working, but
updating each button on every slide in each project is a real pain
if you need to point them to a different URL (or project). Is there
an easy way?
The Apply to All feature is either working strangely as
intended, or bugged. Messes up the buttons, globally.
The Branch feature is a great idea, but doesn't seem to tell
you which button you have selected, so you don't know where to
point it!
In a nutshell, is there an easy global edit feature for
button links?
Oh yeah, lastly - If you do end up having to cut and paste
into each slide, how do you avoid the buttons changing the slide
duration, or not being long enough for the slide when you paste
them in (causing a lot of extra clean-up)?
Thanks for your time!
Geo.My most humble apologies, I went and checked what I had done
and yes, I also copied into each individual slide. Idiot me had put
in captions to display for rest of movie/project and then inserted
buttons over them on each slide individually using the copy paste
method.
PS probably had brain freeze on the original reply -
How can I set a button/link that is visible on all slides?
I want to add a button/link that is automatically visible on all slides (whole project). But it seems it does not work. Any help?
Hello,
It depends on your version. I hope you are on CP6 or later. In that case you have two possiblities:
a shape button on the main master slide (and be sure that all daughter master slides have the objects of the main master slide)
a shape button on the first slide, timed for the rest of the project.
