Linking a flash button to a html page

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to link a
flash button to a page in DW?
Thanks

Place this actionscript into the hit area of your flash
button, then export the flash as a .swf and place onto the
dreamweaver page...
on(release){
getURL("YOUR_DESIRED_PAGE.html","_self");
This will open the new html page in the same window. Hope
that helps.

GetURL isn't working when flash button is embedded into HTML

I'm making a basic HTML site with flash buttons that direct to hyperlinks.
I've made a simple flash button with the code on the button actions as:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com","_blank");
The button works great when I export it in Flash.
When i embed into the HTML using dreamweaver and preview/upload the site.... the button is there but when clicked it doesn't direct to the hyperlink.
ANy ideas? Thanks. Brendan.

Use Flash to generate an html page and test that on the server. If that works, then replace whatever Dreamweaver did with the Flash-made embedding code. Beyond that, a link to the file on the server could shed some light.

Links on Flash buttons ( CS3 )

Hi pros and newbies ,
I have a question regarding linking flash symbols /
buttons.What I mean is : after creating dynamic / interactive
symbol in Flash I want to add link to it so any help will be
welcomed.Also , After inserting "Media Flash button" in dreamweaver
and make a link on it - the browsers ask ( after cliking on it )
what program they should open it with - ? Why don't the links open
in new tabs after clicking on Flash buttons ? Thanks for any
answers.

So you have a button in Flash and you want it to take you to
a url when clicking on it?
Here is a quick example of how to do this by applying
actionscript to the button itself. When you have the button on the
stage, select it on the stage and then go into your Actions panel
to add the actionscript code at the end of this post. You can view
the FLA for this by downloading it
here.
Here is the actionscript which needs attached to your
button:

How to make a menu bar made is flash cs5 go to an html page

so i am making a website in Dreamweaver cs5 and i am going to be importing a .swf animation for the menu bar i made in Flash. how do i make an action in Flash direct to a page of my website in Dreamweaver for example the index.html file of my web page.
right now i have an actions layer with a stop(); command on the last frame of the animation i want to add a command under that, that will take the user to the index.html page of my website when the button is clicked. I have the button already made as well as the animation all i am missing is the code to go to the index.html page.

in ActionSscript 2 it would be something like:
myButton.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://mywebsite.dk", "_parent");
in AactionScript 3.0 it would be something like:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonClick, false, 0, true);
function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var url:String = "http://mywebsite.dk";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request);
See if some of that, does the trick for you.

Html link to multiple swf files on 1 html page

i have a html page that has multiple (20) links to video files, i would like to play these files in the same position, within the same html page. therefore saving myself having 20 html files with the separate swf files embedded. firstly i was planning on converting my .mov files to swf to make then smaller.
my query is, what is the best way to 'house' a swf file(s) that plays when clicked on the relative link on that page.
i have build the page using CSS and have limited javascript knowledge although im keen to learn.
cheers

You need a Flash player that supports a playlist. If you're good with Flash and Action Script you could build a custom player. If not, pick-one from the links below:
Wimpy Rave simple to deploy, dirt simple to update playlists by uploading media to wimpy folder.

Binding a button in the "index.html" page to a Javascript .js file via Mobile JQuery

I'm unable to bind an event to a button in the index.html file, without calling onclick("eventHandler") within the button element. Please note that the event handler was declared in a seperate .js file and included in the index.html file.

Not enough information. Can we see your code or a link to your online test page?

Flash Button not showing on php page

Hi Folks,
Hopefully this is a simple problem. I've added a Flash Button
via the Insert Media -> Flash Button in DW8. Unfortunately the
button does not show up when the php page is loaded up to the
server. And yes, I did make sure to upload the button file. When I
look at the source code from the server, the flash part looks a
little different compared to how it normally looks on a .htm page.
Here's what the 'view source' in the browser shows:

David,
I don't know what that file is. Can you elaborate?
Thanks,
Chris

But did you upload this file?

Lost the "Over" stste of my buttons on my index.html page only.

I must have done something to my button set on my home page for www.carpenterslocal19.org
because on mouseover I don't get the "Over" state. The buttons still function as hypelinks but no change to the over state.
All the other pages are okay, just index.html and index.htm.

Hi Joe -
That extra line break in your code is still present on the server.
I it were my page, the time it takes to prowl through every character in the code is not worth it.
I would make a copy.of a working page, correct the title tag, cut and paste only the content table from
the troubled page into the new page.
If that's not clear, you may call me at 914-941-3616

How do I identify Mason Framework in Dreamweaver html pages?

I have told that my website has "mason framework" components that will not be compatiable with an update of the Unix servers the site is hosted on. How do I identify the "mason framework" code on the html pages or folder structure on my site? I am unfamiliar with the term and need any help that can be provided in tackling this issue.
Here is a note from the server hosts: The Mason framework will not be part of the migration. If any users are still reliant on Mason, Perl will remain available and ordinary Perl / CGI syntax can be used to support application functionality going forward without leveraging Mason components.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I never heard of it but found this: http://www.masonhq.com/
Looks like a perl based site development framework/toolset. We would need to see the code to determine what it is being used for on your site.

Link Custom Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver?

Hello,
I created an animated button in flash and tried to link it up
in Dreamweaver with no success. I don’t understand why I can
use generic animated buttons that DW offers and have a link for
them but, when I create my own DW doesn’t offer a link. All
I’m trying to do is link to a different page on my site. I
tried to use “getURL” in the action script in flash and
got that to work but, I really didn’t want to open a new
browser. Can anyone help?

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
In addition, you cannot add a link to a Flash element using
HTML. That link
must be added in the Flash itself.

How do I Make a Flash Button that points an iWeb page by default?

In Flash, I want to make a menu.
I have created the buttons, now I want to make them point to the various pages in my iWeb site by default. What should the URL be for the Buttons?
I used "../../mysite/index.html" for the home button, and that seems to work, after I publish, but the same type of URL doesn't work with the About Me, Photo, Blog etc. pages.
Any help would be appreciated.

Link INTO Flash Site?

My photographer wife just posted her brand new Flash site.
And it's great.
But, we just noticed that other specialist sites linked to
the relevant page of her old site. Is there a way to create links
into Flash sites without creating separate HTML pages? The idea
would be to go to a specific navigation point.
Thanks,
Gary

You can use a javascript code within the .html file pointing
to your exact section on the flash movie. I just forget what's the
term of that. I'll look at it and get back to you

Flash button - linking to HTML page - weird problem

There could be a really easy solution for this, but I can't
figure it out. I have a simple button that links to an anchor
within an HTML page. Here the actionscript for the button:
on (release) {
getURL ("test.html#two");
when the button is pressed, the HTML page comes up but only
to the top of test.html. The '#two' is not passed to the URL .
Seems like everything after '#' is ignored. How can I get around
this?

hi
on(press)
getURL("path of html page");
}
