How do I link a button to another flash document?

I am using action script 3 to make my website and all my files and done for now and complete however I have no idea how to make the buttons I created in flash link to another flash document.

Is each page a different html file?  If so, then you would use code like...
function linkFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var url:String = "awebpage.html";
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
    navigateToURL(req, "_self");
btnName.addEventListener(Event.MouseEvent, linkFunction);
where btnName is replaced by whatever instance name you assign to the button.  A condensed version of the function is...
function linkFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("awebpage.html"), "_self");
If it is not linking to different html web pages, then you need to provide a clearer description of what your mean.

  • Flash menu in DW, how do I link the buttons?

    Hi there!
    I have a problem, i'm creating a site in dreamweaver with a
    lot of flash objects. For examlpe I'm making a flash menu, wich is
    the hole problem! I'm importing the flash file to the left frame in
    dreamweaver and i'm trying to link the buttons (on the menu) to ex.
    "home" or "about me", though it doesn't work! I can't link the
    buttons because they're in this flash object. I know i'm doing it
    wrong with trying to link the buttons on the flash object but I
    don't know what else to do. And the thing is that i don't wanna use
    the buttons already existing in DW, i've made my own ones. The
    buttons are moving so there is one more problem, they're coming in
    from the right side (in the left frame) and bounces once, and then
    they stop. And that's when I wan't them clickable. So how do I make
    the buttons linking to the pages??
    Would really appreciate an awnser!
    Thanks !

    Flash links are made in Flash, not DW.
    I trust these links are not important, as search engines
    can't see them

  • How do you link a button to a image on the same page?

    I created a photoshop button and pulled it into my Muse website, and I want to link it to an image on the same page. I have a slide show set up, and this way I could have a secondary menu with buttons corresponding to each image in the slideshow. I can only find the option to link the button to another page, or link it to an external website. Help!

    Hi avary.s
    "Image Option" : http://prntscr.com/svhz7  Tells that its actually the whole image that is being placed within this slide show container.http://prntscr.com/svhz7 check : http://prntscr.com/svine
    However, "Hero Image" as show in screen shot provided in above reply, is a container which shows the edited part of  the complete image : check :  http://projectuni01.businesscatalyst.com/screenshots/2013-02-16_0217.png
    So in this case, In slideshows, the links are actually get applied on Hero image or on the slideshow containers.
    I hope this information helps

  • How to bind Links Detail Button to an object?

    Hi,
    As per the WebCenter Dev Guide, we can create link from "Any object to which you bind the custom JSF components, such as the Links Detail Button".

    But it is not quite a unique id. It might be, but a different JVM could implemented it as "return 1" and it would still technically satisfy the contract.
    As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)

  • How to encapsulate two games in a new flash document

    Hi mates!
    Now that I have my first two games I want to encapsulate them in a new document!
    Here is my idea:
    Create a new document with 4 keyframes in the main timeline.
    The first one will accommodate the title and two "play" buttons (each allowing to play a game).
    The second one will contain the first game.
    The third one will contain the second game.
    The last keyframe will contain the scores.
    Each game contains a movieclip that is being controlled by a main class that I wrote using as3.0. For example imagine that one of the games is a simple rectangle that the user moves with the arrow keys. The motion code is inside the main document class. The second game is something similar.
    So, how do I "import" the games (that were developed totally independent of each other ) to the keyframes of my new flash document?
    Could you help me?
    Thanks in advance

    Importing the swf's will destroy any actionscript they have.  You'll need to copy the timelines of the games into movieclips in your other file.
    You might instead consider just loading the games dynamically, making the main file more of a loading/summary platform that you use to communicate with the loaded games.  This approach would likely allow you to easily add even more games as long as you have a similar communication scheme established.

  • How to link a button to another frame in Flash CS3?

    I have a button, and on it, there is this code:
    on(press){
       gotoAndPlay("second");
    the frame I want to link to is labeled "second", but the link is not working. What is wrong?

    your button is a movieclip button and "second" is not in that timeline or "second" is not in the timeline that contains your button.
    to start, don't add code to any object.  assign your button an instance name (eg, btn) and use:
    var tl:MovieClip=this;  // assuming this timeline contains "second"
    btn.onPress=function(){  // and you should use an onRelease for this.
    tl.gotoAndPlay("second");

  • How do I link a button to a scene?

    built a simple 4 page flash site with basic tweening. need to
    link my navigation buttons to the specific scenes. For example. The
    Home Page. I want to click on the About Us button and have it
    direct the user to the About Us page (which is built as a
    individual scene.
    Basically need to find out how to make a button link to a
    specific scene.
    Thank you!!!

    I create a layer called labels then label each frame where
    the animation for each page will start,(home about etc) then add
    event listeners using action script to play from those labels and
    also place stop functions so the timeline stops once the content
    has loaded.
    so lets say the home button has a instance name of home_btn
    and you have a label on the timeline for the home page as homepage
    home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,home);
    function home(event:MouseEvent)void;
    gotoAndPlay("homepage")

  • How can i link one composition to another?

    Hi,
    I'm a beginner yet, so my question might be stupid, sorry for that.
    I have two compositions, and i'd like to make an action linking them. For example, when i click on the element on my stage in composition1, it should show composition2.
    How can i do that?
    Thanks

    Hi
    This blog will help you
    Bootstrapping Animate Compositions « Adobe Edge Animate Team Blog
    This explains how you can dynamically load a composition and play it. So if you want to load the second composition based on a click in first composition you can do it by following steps in this blog. I would like to let you know that you cannot create multiple instances of same composition using this approach.

  • How to open links in same window, another tab (by default)?

    I think the users have been asking this question for more than two years. Is there a way to open links in the same tab automatically? Its annoying when I am using apple products and have to click three times for a task that is easily made with a single click in other products (chrome, firefox....).

    Hi ...
    Not in the same tab but a new one yes. Command + click
    Check the Safari Extensions gallery...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari - Extensions.
    Try the Productivity category.

  • How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

    I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
    created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
    website, and I want to link each of the images to different
    galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
    fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
    as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
    function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
    button?
    I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
    create a button:
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
    Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
    don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?

    I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
    it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
    image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
    -> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
    moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
    of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
    I have attached to this post.
    I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
    each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
    received the error.
    I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
    Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
    Here is the code I used to create my first button.

  • How to insert links in an Acrobat 8 pdf document to open folders

    I am using Acrobat 8 and have made a "menu" page in InDesign which will has links in it to open other pdf documents. I have successfully exported to PDF from InDesign and inserted links to my PDF files which work perfectly. I now need to insert a link to direct the user to a particular folder so they can view the files/folders within that folder.
    The complete set of documents will be burnt onto DVD and the "menu" pdf will open using an autorun file.
    How can I insert a link in the PDF document that will open the folder that I want the reader to be able to view and navigate through themselves.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a major job for a client.  I have seen a few ideas on the net but nothing that really answers my particular question.
    Cheers - Claire

    what should have been done, is place all the PDF in Folder including your contents page and Make all your links in Indesign. Then burn the folder to the DVD. That way all the links would be relative to location of the files.
    Try a test that way. As was said Acrobat can't do it.

  • Assigning a URL link to button in a Flash Player

    I've designed a player in Flash using Action Script 3. I've
    built a rollover button into the player that users will click to
    link to a new page. But where do I assign the URL for that button
    to link to; there's no apparent field for this in the properties
    inspector.
    I was able to make it work by switching over to Action
    Script 2 and assigning a "Go to Web Page" behavior to the button;
    but I can only do this in Action Script 2 (where behaviors are
    available), and I have to keep the page in Action Script 3 in order
    to support other components (Slideshow Pro).
    Surely there is a way to assign a simple URL link to a
    button in Action Script 3. Thanks for the help,
    Chris

    yes, you need to write AS3 script in order to do so:
    [code]
    buttonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navTo);
    function navTo(e:MouseEvent) {
    var url = new URLRequest('
    http://www.theaddresshere.com);
    navigateToURL(url);
    [/code]
    place this on the first frame where you button is
    instantiated, in a layer you name 'actions' - with the frame
    selected, open the Actions panel (F9) and enter the script there.
    replace the "buttonInstanceName" with the instance name of the
    button on the stage you're assigning this method to, and of course
    replace the address in the URLRequest parameter.

  • How to edit linked text in an Indesign long document without it effecting the whole document

    I want to work out how to edit text in indesign without the rest scrolling
    I have a large 200 page book.  The text was supplied in Word and I have placed the whole document automatically and now I am going through each page doing my magic with pics, stylesheets etc.
    When the client comes back with edits, I am concerned that deleted or adding in text will scroll the text to the next chapter, etc etc.  This will be a nightmare.  Not sure how to unlink say 5 pages or so that are in each chapter so I can edit easily without the whole document being effected.
    Apologies I am probably not explaining myself all that well.

    john the link is broken
    I can see there are scripts but I don't want each page separate rather each chapter (each chapter can go for 2 or 7 pages)
    I am only 35 pages or so into the book and if I have to I can re place the text with some work, ie start again with the text pages.
    seems sily though that I cannot split the threaded stories a few pages at a time.
    The link is now fixed.
    You can split the threaded story into separate stories anywhere in the thread. At the chapter breaks seems logical. There are many users who'll assert all sorts of right/wrong at you when it comes to threading text. For my purposes, I set up long documents much the way you propose; threading articles, stories, or chapters discreetly; rarely would I ever thread an entire long document as one. It's a preference, not a rule. Each way has benefits and pitfalls.

  • How can I copy a button style in flash catalyst

    Is it possible to copy a button style? I want all my buttons to fade and move to the same place however they all look different. Please let me know.
    thank you and God Bless

    See which form of ActionScript you used to make the site.
    Open the Actions panel and see whether you've chosen AS versions 1
    & 2, or AS 3. If you've picked the earlier versions, you can
    attach a link easily to each button by clicking on the button, and
    adding a little code in the Actions panel. Turn on ScriptAssist to
    make it easier. Click on "on" and choose "release" or "press" or
    both. Then scroll down the commands on the left and add getURL. You
    will then have a few lines that say something like, on(Release)
    getURL("putyourpageurlhere"). See bottom for exact syntax. That's
    all. The new .html or .php page will load when the button is
    clicked.
    If your buttons are not actually four-state buttons, but
    graphic or movie clip symbols, you will have do it a little
    differently. Instead of attaching the code to a button, you attach
    it to a keyframe. You give your symbol an instance name in the
    property panel, then in the Actions panel create a function that
    says essentially: when you click on this instance (onRelease)
    getURL.
    If you're using AS3, the concept is similar but the code is
    different. With a quick search you can find dozens of code examples
    that you can cut and paste.
    Here's that AS2 button code...
