Creating Hyperlink for Flash Movie

Hi Guys
I have just created a flash movie. I have inserted the flash
into dreamweaver and when somebody clicks on the movie I want it to
take them to a certain page. If possible could I send you the .fla
file and you can send it back with it all linked up as I have been
getting annoyed with this all morning.
Thanks

Easy enough, once you know how to proceed. :)

It's possible, sure -- but that goes agains the grain (and
benefit) of
why these forums are here. A dozen other people may have a
question similar
to yours, and by participating in a public conversation about
it -- and also
working it through publicly -- you not only learn a knew
skill, but
onlookers can learn it as well.
If you want the whole Flash movie to respond to a click, you
can either
create a so-called invisible button that matches the
dimensions of the whole
movie, then set that above all other layers, or you can code
your movie to
respond to mouse clicks globally.
The invisible button approach usually seems easier to
newcomers, but
neither techniques is especially difficult. What version of
the Flash
Player are you publishing to? (Most importantly, what version
of
ActionScript?)

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

Report navigation after creating hyperlink

Hi,
I am using Webi rich clinet XI R3.1. I have one main report with six dashboards and associated detailed reports. I created hyperlink for each of the dashboard and linked to detailed report in infoview.
If i need to see main report i've to close this detailed report.Now how can i make the detailed report open in same window and navigate forward and backward to the main report instead of closing.
I would appreciate if some one could provide any work around available if possible atleast.
Thanks,
Eswar

Hi
Create two links one Back and one Next in each report.
Drag two free standing cells in the report and use opendocument syntax to create the links.
The thread Re: Hyperlink Back functionality may give an idea.

Can I create MacOS on flash drive to run broken Imac?

So I've got an Imac that's all brokedy. Won't start up. I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on it from a boot disk, but got referred to Disk Utility. Disk Utility told me that the GB 500 drive was so fricked up that Disk Utility can't do a thing with it, I have to take it to a repair shop. But the Apple MacIntosh HD that's INSIDE the GB500 drive checks out OK according to Disk Utility.
It occurred to me that I could maybe install the Snow Leopard software into a flash drive and run the computer off of it, accessing the data and software on the MacIntosh HD via the flash drive, and at least being able to salvage important files that way. I'll need at least a 16 Gig flahs drive for that, no biggie, but my question is: is this feasible or some mad fantasy I've created out of an absurd desire not to get my wallet hijacked by Apple?

I think you'll find that your Hard Drive is failing, I hope you have some form of backup.
Your idea of creating a bootable flash drive could work but it will be useless if your HDD fails which according to your SMART status could happen soon.
I would make a full backup of your hard drive onto an external hard drive using Time Machine or another preferred backup method.
Then I would look into replacing the drive by myself or taking it to an Apple Store.
Good Luck!

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?
The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

How to create hyperlinks in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to create hyperlinks from within Acrobat 9 Pro? If so, can you let me know how? I am having a hard time finding out how to do so.
Thank you in advance for your help:)

I did this from the advanced menu to make all hyperlinks work. All I got were boxes around my links that are not clikcable to the web page.
Now I cannot undo this.

Can't creat a USB Flash key to recover my BIOS

Hi, i've been struggling for a week to make my Notebook back.
From what I've read, I need to make a BIOS recovery from a USB, but I can't get to make this USB key. I'm using a Cruzer Force 32gb Sandisk Pendrive. But the Bios recovery software doesn't recognize it.
I've already tried formatting the drive with FAT32 and rename it to HP_TOOLS. My laptop's recovery partition is missing.
Does it have any limitations? I'm talking about drive size or something else.
My warranty has already expired and I'd like to solve this myself.
Thanks in advance for reading.

How to automatically create hyperlink destinations based on numbered list?

I am very new to InDesign and am creating a template for an academic journal. Each article contains a list of references at the end and the references are cited in the main text (like what you see in Wikipedia if you are not familiar with scientfic journal articles). In exported HTML, the citation in the main text should be hyperlinked to the coressponding reference in the reference list. I have two questions:
1) It is possible to ask paragraphy style to assign each numbered item a hyperlink destination? If this is possible, I can then manually inserted hyperlinks in the main text.
2) one step further, is there any way (e.g. script) which can then insert hyperlink to those destinations based on pattern match? For example, in main text, the citation to reference #1 appear in the text as [1] which should be hyperlinked to reference #1.
One more question, is there anyone who knows how academic journals handle the flow from InDesign to html? Certainly, the exported html cannot go directly online without further editing.
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
I posted the script here. But it should be adjusted to your particular document. (Anyone with basic scripting knowledge can do this). I am sure it won’t work as it is. I assume that “comments” and “references” are in two different stories.
Can I have the scripts from you (for a fee or free)?
I don't sell my scripts: they're free.
Can the scripts handle the pattens like these [3], [1-5], [3,4], [6, 8, 11-13]?
This script can't, but another handles both single page numbers and page ranges like so:
I can post it as well.
Now I’d like to make one thing clear:
I made a set of scripts for creating hyperlinks in InDesign documents for further exporting them to ePub/HTML. I can’t make a script that would work for everyone because all books are very different. I simply adjusted scripts for every book I had to work with (mainly changing GREP expressions and names of styles) and I have numerous variations of scripts. I can post them if someone is interested but you should be aware that they have to be reworked.

My customer wants to create hyperlinks in the editor - surely this is possible? And, if so, how?

My customer simply wants to create hyperlinks when adding content to her site; this doesn't seem possible within the Muse editing interface. It must be, surely? That's the most basic thing to do with a web page.

At current stage In browser editing does not includes hyperlinks , but that’s definitely a request we hear often. Unfortunately we can’t comment on what features are coming to Adobe Muse, but please know the team is listening!
Thanks,

Problem in create Hyperlink

Hi All,
I create hyperlink by finding http and www in my active document.                //Works well
But the problem is, if the url or websites contents coming twice or above then I found error   //not able to create hyperlink source with the same name
i.e., www.gmail.com (comes 2 or more time in the document, then the below code is not working fine)
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
//Find http and www
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?i)(http|www)\\S+[\\l\\u|\\d]"
var myFound1 = myDoc.findGrep();
count = 0
for(k=0; k<myFound1.length; k++)
    var myFind = myFound1[k];
    var myHyperlinkSource = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.add(myFind)
    var myHyperlinkURLDestination = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(myFind.contents)
    var myHyperlink = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkSource, myHyperlinkURLDestination, {name: myFind.contents})
//    var myHyperlink = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkSource, myHyperlinkURLDestination, {name: myFind.contents+count++})
Please find the screenshot for your more references.
Please help to find the solution.
Thanks in advance

I solved this problem by adding an incrementing number in round brackets if a hyperlink name is already taken.
Another (simpler) solution is to put "add hyperlink" line into try-catch block, but in this case you'll have a default name if the error occurs.
Here's the function:
function MakeHyperlink(text, url) {
    if (url.match(/https?:\/\//) == null) {
        url = "http://" + url;
    url = url.replace(/\.$/, "");
    var name = text.contents;
    var oriName = name;
    if (doc.hyperlinks.itemByName(name) != null) {
        var increment = 1;
        while (doc.hyperlinks.itemByName(name) != null) {
            name = oriName + " (" + increment++ + ")";
    try {
        var dest = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.itemByName(name);
        if (!dest.isValid) {
            dest = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(url , {hidden: true});
        var source = doc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(text);
        var hyperlink = doc.hyperlinks.add(source, dest, {highlight: HyperlinkAppearanceHighlight.NONE, visible: false});
        try {
            hyperlink.name = name;
        catch(err) {
            //$.writeln(err.message + ", line: " + err.line);
        if (hyperlink.isValid) {
            hypCount++;
            if (set.tempColors) source.sourceText.fillColor = swatchOK;
            if (set.charStyle) source.appliedCharacterStyle = charStyle;
    catch(err) {
        errorsCount++;
        var swatchProblem = MakeSwatch("===== PROBLEM =====", {
            model : ColorModel.PROCESS,
            space : ColorSpace.RGB,
            colorValue : [255, 0, 0]
        text.fillColor = swatchProblem;
        //$.writeln("Error message: " + err.message + ", Line: " + err.line + ", URL: " + url);
        arr.push("Error message: " + err.message + ", Line: " + err.line + ", URL: " + url);
