Just Trying to make a button go to a URL

This should be simple, and was with Actionscript 2.0. But, after 4 hours of watching tutorials, reading through lessons and forums, I have yet to create my first button that will go to a URL in Actionscript 3.0. I'm so beyond frustrated right now. I appreciate any help I can get. So here's what's up.
My current code is:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, homeHandler);
function homeHandler(Event:MouseEvent):void {
var homeURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.hopeskate.com");
navigateToURL(homeURL,"_self");
But when I publish it I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at header_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Now per the advise I've already read for others with the same problem.
I do have the button instance named "home".
I do have the button in Frame 1
So what's the problem? Why can't I get it to work? Please tell me you have the answer. I admit code is not my forte, which makes my head ache even more!
Thanks again,
Crystal

Other than I probably wouldn't call my event parameter 'Event' coz this is a keyword, your code looks fine and should work as is.
Which means there's something going wrong with your flash file.
I just created a button, gave it the instance name 'home', pasted your code in a frame, ran it out and it worked.
try it again in a fresh flash file, if it still doesn't work maybe post your fla.

Hi Venkat,
Can you check the value of property "AllowUserPersonalization" in Visual administration Services → Configuration Adapter → webdynpro → sap.com → tc~wd~dispwda - propertysheet
Also what is the exact version of this portal?

Is my ISP just trying to make a buck?

Okay, I have an iBook G4 that until yesterday was running Panther 10.3.9. I have DSL through AT&T but my iBook isn't connected directly to the modem but via wireless through Airport. After I installed Leopard 10.5 my network connection was gone. To make a long story short, after 3 phone calls to AT&T, I am now connected to my network, but I hardly have any signal. They had me boost the signal on the router to as high as it could go, but even now as I'm sitting the room right next to where the router sits I only have 2 bars on my Airport logo thingy, and if I go right upstairs to my bedroom I have no signal whatsoever. Call me crazy, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a wireless connection don't you think? According to AT&T, our modem/router is ancient (it's about 3-4 years old) and that we need to buy a new one. Is this a possibility or is AT&T just trying to make some money off of me?

The simple way to test modem/router speed is to remove wireless from the equation. If you get good speed tests while cabled through an ethernet port then the problem is obviously the wireless connection which you say is via an Airport. Nothing an ISP can do here.
If it's a wireless speed problem, then there are still two ends to consider. Try your laptop on someone else's wireless router, even if it's a coffee shop. No problem? Then your wireless router has a problem. If, on the otherhand, you don't see any improvement, then it's the laptop (hardware or drivers or setup).
You are not going to get anywhere by calling an ISP who is always quick to blame everybody else, and the same goes for the hardware vendor who won't accept the blame either. You have to change something in your setup, and see what makes a difference.
If you provide a little more information about your hardware, like the DSL modem name and model, and the Airport model and firmware info it might be a little easier to assist you.
In reading and re-reading your message, I'm not clear if you have a DSL modem connected to an Airport router or a DSL modem/router connected to an Airport router, or a DSL modem/router connected to an Airport that's been setup as a wireless access point. Daisy chaining routers can cause issues also, but it appears that your main problem is the wireless signal strength and you don't know if its the sender or the receiver or even related to Leopard.

Trying to make a button with a drop zone

Since I can't find any of the template buttons that look the way I want, I want to make a simple button that includes a drop zone for an asset, a label, and a highlight. I am trying to make a chapter index menu. I can do it using the automated method and using a customized template - but I cannot find buttons that look the way I want. All I want is a simple rectangle, with the label underneath, and a highlight line under the label. There is one like that in which the asset is black and white (RectRoundEdgesBlue.pox), but I want one that is in color. Is there any way to do this?? I have studied some of the Photoshop tutorials, but I am missing how you put a drop zone in.

Hi,
Below is the AS3 code to navigate to adobe.com upon button(whose instance name is 'myButton') click
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPageFunction);
function gotoPageFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com");
navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
Thanks!
ps: please mark this post as Answered if this is of help to you

Just trying to make a call -

Okay - so I'm not the best Techie on Planet Earth - but I was able to stop the old phone - upgrade to the Droid Razor Max - used it for two days successfully and now anytime I attempt to make a call - all I get is the message "mobil network not available"        Okay - so what button did I accidentally hit - or what is the SECRET CODE to get this thing to work right?   PLEEEZE HELP!
KG57

Figured it out. . . . . I kept trying to call out - and looked through Settings - Mobil networks . . . . changed them and changed them back because nothing was working - went to make another call just for the heck of it. . .and a message came up that I needed to insert the SIM card.   I knew I had one already in - but then decided to open and look at - and put it back in. I pulled the removal tool that came with the phone and the little folded box in came in had instructions for insertion - and said to make sure to put the cards in gently until it 'clicks'.
MY CARD HAD DISLODGED ITSELF - and I did not drop the phone or abuse it - or bang it accidentally - NOTHING!   It had worked it's way loose and the message that continually came up was "Mobil Network Not Available" with no hint that something was wrong with the hardware in my hand.
THANKS for whoever is taking the time reading these - but I'm offering this up in case someone else has the same experience.

Trying to make a button to activate position fixed movie?

I just recently figured out how to use the position fixed
code to make a flash movie stay on the bottom of the page even when
you scroll up and down the page. However, now I want to be able to
only have that movie appear when I press a button.
For example: Somebody is looking at products on my page, when
they press an "add to cart" button, then a fixed positioned flash
movie showing the current cart contents pops up and floats along
the bottom until they are ready to checkout.
Is this possible? and if so how? Please help I'm a
newbie!!

A much better use of Flash would be to use Flash (or Ajax) to
show your
product list in a scrolling device, and have the cart display
positioned
statically on the page. Then this 'fixed' thing you are using
will not be
required - nor will you experience IE's reluctance to support
it.

Help : Lost in Code - Trying to make a simple Click-Through

Hey Everyone -
I've come in search of some help and expertise. I've found a
website which I would like to copy in functionality - in hopes of
creating a simple slideshow of images. They are using the MOOTOOLS
framework for the Slide animation - i've gotten that to work
- but i can't figure out how to replicate the clickthrough-
SO - what i'm trying to do is copy this page exactly -
http://www.thegraphicgraphic.com/
you'll see that it's just three lines of text ( rollovers )
and the last line opens up a javascript slider window - now i've
managed to copy most of it by taking the code and figuring out the
urls for the javascript and such .
check out my version here :
http://www.nontype.com/beograd.html
i've got the css and java stuff working okay - but what i
can't seem to figure out at all is how they are getting the
rollover links to link to the NEXT IMAGE - they're using some tags
that i don't understand : it looks something like this : : :
<div id="header">
<ul>
<li>
<a href=""
onmouseover="this.innerHTML = 'NEXT'"
onmouseout="this.innerHTML = 'THE'">
THE</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href=""
onmouseover="this.innerHTML = 'PREVIOUS'"
onmouseout="this.innerHTML = 'GRAPHIC'">
GRAPHIC</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#" id="button" onmouseover="this.innerHTML =
'INFORMATION'"
onmouseout="this.innerHTML = 'GRAPHIC'">
GRAPHIC</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
AND The JAVASCRIPT Used for both the sliders ( and I assume
the click-through functionality ) is :
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var Slider = new Fx.Slide('about',{mode: 'horizontal',
duration: 100}).hide();
$('button').addEvent('click', function() {
Slider.toggle('horizontal');
function noSpam(user,domain) {
locationstring = "mailto:" + user + "@" + domain;
window.location = locationstring;
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
I just want to click NEXT to progress to the next background
image / and PREVIOUS for the prev. image . . . . . . . . Could
anyone here tell me how to do this as in the first site ? ? ? Would
I be able to simply create multiple HTML Pages - use an Embed tag -
and then link the PREV and NEXT buttons with tags ?
I'm just trying to make this work by any means but am finding
the code impossible to crack -
I tried asking this question in the mootools forum but was
told to look elsewhere - I'm more than willing to use
any other means in order to make this work .
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOU HELP . . .

How to make a button to search something in sql

I am trying to make a button that can search for something like for example if like say i type yes, it will show me things that is under yes.But I am not sure how to make the code work as I cannot change the php code as it is under the requirement that I make the button work and not using the php code to make it work which means that I cannot type the yes to show the information and the button must somehow have the "yes" in the function to show the information.Please help me and Thanks for your help.
This is my flash code.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.Responder;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class main extends MovieClip {
var gateway:NetConnection;
var responder:Responder;
public function main() {
gateway = new NetConnection();
gateway.connect("http://localhost:8088/amfphp/gateway.php");
responder = new Responder(OnPass,OnError);
showAlBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doAvailable);
function doAvailable(evt:MouseEvent):void
gateway.call("Books.getBooksAvailable",responder);
function OnPass(res:Object):void
var i:int;
albumDG.removeAll();
for (i=0;i<res.length;i++)
albumDG.addItem(res[i]);
function OnError(res:Object):void
trace("Error");
.This is the code for the php code that works because I already tested it out because it allows me to type yes and it shows me the required information that I need and it is not tested on flash cs6 but on local host things that allows me to test it out.
function getBooksAvailable($avail)
$this->connect();
$sql = "SELECT title as 'Book Title', author as 'Author', price as 'Price', available as 'Available'
FROM tblbookinventory
WHERE available ='" . $avail . "'";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $this->_connection);
$rows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
array_push($rows, $row);
return $rows;

use the urlloader class to call your php file.
the php function you showed is expecting a variable ($avail) that might accept a value of 'yes'.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked. I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button. I need the actions script code to make this happen.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time. I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen. I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code. It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
Thank you in advance

It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description. If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work. Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

I have created an interaction to show 7 groups and 7 clickable objects. Once all are click the Next Button is show. How can you make that work if you want to embeded the SWF just created but show a button in a master Captivate?

In flash you can have a shell that has the navigation and some button in the shell are not activated until all clickable objects are clicked. I am not a flash programmer but it was related to using the path of shell and the sub-project.
Can anybody help me on that.
I would like to create Captivate interaction that you can just embedded in a Shell captivate project.
Do I need to set variables at both levels (Global variable.

Hello Lieve, That is the screen shot of my custom interactivity, when all labels are clicked the Continue button will be shown because there is a conditional validating if all Labels have now a value of 1. What I am trying to achieve is to create an interaction where where the continue button (an the back button would reside in another Captivate project. This way there is no reprograming required or use of share-actions. Everytime we use a similar advanced action or a shared action we have to make sure the object name in the advanced actions or conditional actions are not the same. I trying to make it a bit dump proof for somebody that does not know any thing about advanced action and just reuse the label interaction in may projects. (The only thing they would change would be the image and the content of the label.
Do you thing I going in the right direction. (As I said before I have custom javacript in Captivate 5.5) to unlock un button that was part of the LCMS ForceTen). I belive the word .this was part of the object path in the JavaScript. Can we hide and show a Captivate button.
I have embedded other Captivate animation in a Master Captivate but the objets were not talking to each other. (You can see a sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erm4_qdybiA&feature=youtube_gdata). In that sample the continue is always there and can be click anytime. The 3 steps animation has been done as another project and embedded in my main captivate. I would like to implement a solution where a my 7 labels have to be clicked in the subproject before showing and enabling the Continue button.
I hope my explanation is clear enough.

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

Could be the battery is completely drained. Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least an hour. Then, while it is still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If the device restarts let it remain on the charger until the battery indicates 100%. If it still will not turn on Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
