Flash skype button help

Hi,
Trying to craete a new swf with a small skype button. All is well and good, getting the skype button to aprear with the right (dynamic) status but the item is not clicable even though it has the needed code for it. Here's the code that i'm using.
i just craete a blank movie and put this in first blank keyframe.
Any ideas?
stop();
System.security.allowInsecureDomain("mystatus.skype.com");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", getNextHighestDepth());
this.container.stop();
container.loadMovie("http://mystatus.skype.com/smallclassic/SKYPE_NAME");
this.sb.onRelease = function() {
    getURL("skype:SKYPE_NAME?chat");

You have to use an absolute path in you getURL function, for example "http://skype.com/skype:SKYPE_NAME?chat" presuning you can log into your skype account through a url that will pass your username and password through url or php possibly like:  http://skype.com/username.password/skype:SKYPE_NAME?chat" or the like, check skype docs about entering through url otherwise simply code the getURL to your skype log in page..

  • Flash CS5 Button Help

    To start, I'm a total newbie in Flash, so I'm sorry if what I'm asking is ridiculously primitive, but I was literally thrown into this blindfolded and I'm using google and several forums to help me out.
    What I'm doing:  redesigning a website.  At the moment, the website has a flash file that introduces it's logo and subcategories of its' website on the top of the page.  What I wanted to do was make sure there was a hyperlink on the logo that would bring anyone back to the homepage, very basic stuff.  The issue I have run into is that the logo is actually a flash movie.  Different parts of the logo appear at different times, and I think this is what is specifically causing me issues.
    The logo that I want to hyperlink has several layers, and what I've done so far is select them all and create a button (F8, select 'Button' and rename it).  When I did that, I noticed the layers significantly changed and when I tested the movie, it looks terrible, choppy and not how it originally looked.
    I know the step after that is to go into behaviors and insert the url to which I want it to be hyperlinked.  The only thing is that I don't want to show a terrible flash movie to my boss even if it's hyperlinked to the homepage. 
    Anyone understand all that gibberish I wrote down?  Or does anyone see a flaw in what I'm doing?  I'm not 100% positive if the steps I'm taking are correct, I've been to several different sites, all of which tell me to do different things. 
    Initially I tried coding it with ActionScript, but I was having terrible issues with that as well. 
    If it helps, the file I'm working on was altered a while back.  Could it be that the file is not compatible or proper for Flash CS5? 
    Help!!!

    ... how do I give that shape/button a url?
    Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage.  The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name.  So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
    In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it.  You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open.  In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
    The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
    function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
       var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
       var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
       navigateToURL(req);
    ... how do I know it's properly placed on the correct area?
    What area?  If you place it where you want it, that should be correct. (?)
    ... how do I make sure it's invisible...?
    If you can't see it when you test the file and you know it's there and your cursor turns into  a hand when you are over where it should be, it's invisible.
    ...how do I see the other objects in the flash file I'm working on?
    Select Edit -> Edit Document to get out of the symbol editing mode and back to the file editing mode.  If you doubleclick an object on the stage, rather than clickingit in the library, you open it up in editing mode on the stage, but the stage and everything else will still be visible behind it in a faded tone.

  • Flash CS3 Button HELP

    Ok, so i'm very new to Flash.
    I have a web page & it has 9 buttons. I want the user to
    be able to click on anyone of these buttons & be taken to that
    page.
    I don't know how to do this in CS3?
    I have each button set up on it's own layer & set as a
    symbol. That is it, now what?
    If anyone can give me step-by-step instructions that would be
    great!
    I need this for a class project for tomorrow & I have
    spent a week trying to make it work but nothing!
    I'm very frustrated & confussed!
    Please, help if you can.
    thanks!!

    If you're doing this .fla in AS2.0 there are at least two
    popular ways of doing this. (I'm not sure of the AS3.0 syntax.)
    1) Click on a button, open the Actions panel and have
    ScriptAssist open. In the toolbox on the left you should see a list
    of functions, with headings Global Functions / Movie Clip Control.
    See the word 'on'? The basic functions you want begin with
    'on'...so click it, and you'll get a choice of onPress, onRelease,
    etc. Pick what you want the button to do and you're done. You
    should end up with code that looks something like this
    on (release) {
    gotoAndStop("Scene5", 16);
    (My above example would take you to frame 16 in Scene 5. If
    you have just one scene, leave out the Scene name.)
    You have to do this to each button, individually.
    2) If you'd rather stick all the code in one place, do it
    this way instead. First make sure each button has an instance name.
    In other words, select each button and in the Properties panel give
    it a name like: startButton_btn, stopButton_btn, etc. Open a new
    layer, call it Actions. Click on the first frame, open the Actions
    panel, and enter code like this for each button instance name you
    have:
    startButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
    play();
    If you have nine buttons, you should have nine functions set
    up like the above. Now save and test. If it doesn't work at first,
    you probably just typed something wrong.

  • Form from hell (Flash Radio Buttons)

    Does anyone have a bead out there on a behavior that you can
    use with the native Flash radio button groups in Director MX 2004.
    I am going freakin' bonkers trying to write a behavior for
    these things.

    The Flash Components are not documented in Director, though
    they are
    documented in Flash. If you can parse the dense and difficult
    to
    understand Flash Help file (and yes, you would need to have
    Flash to get
    it), then you can see all the docs for those components.
    Before I go much further, I should say that in my experience,
    using
    #flashComponents is a painful and tedious business. I do not
    recommend
    it. It will probably be MUCH easier on you in the long run if
    you write
    your own script from scratch.
    But, for the sake or archival completeness, this is a script
    that will
    do what you want with the checkbox/radio button
    #flashComponents:
    1) Go into the Property Inspector and on the FlashComponent
    tab for each
    member, make sure that the eventPassMode is set to
    #passAlways
    2) Put this code onto the buttons:
    on mouseUp me
    if sprite(me.spriteNum).selected then
    sendAllSprites(#deselect,me.spriteNum)
    end if
    end
    on deselect me, vExcept
    if me.spriteNum<>vExcept then
    sprite(me.spriteNum).selected=0
    end if
    end

I typed the text into the box, click on "Send", and it shown on the chat-screen, but next to the time is a loading image, which goes around-and-around. The Subject account doesn't see that message.
    most likely that particular contact have set their account to allow IMs from their contacts only.  that is why the message can't be delivered.
    Regardless of the settings, it appears that that notification appears on both sender and recepients IM windows.  But yes, that notification is quite confusing.  Will run a few more test and will correct myself if I find something new.
