Links on Flash Files

Is there anyway to add links to flash files in Dreamweaver.
For example - I created a flash file that tranistions through a few
different images. I placed it on my home page in Dreamweaver and I
want people to be able to click the flash animation and go to
another page within my site. Is there anyway to do this within
Dreamweaver or do I have to place a url link in my Flash
file?

Yeah. I see now.

In Flash. There is no way to apply an HTML link to a swf
file.

How to add link to flash file (using AS 3)?

Hi all,
I have created a Flash banner ad for our company that is to be hosted on another website. This banner ad needs to have a link added to it, within the Flash file. This link will take users straight to our website but is also for the purpose of tracking.
How do I go about adding the URL? I have searched through these forums but cannot get it to work.
I am using Flash CS4 (selected to use AS 3 when I first created the file.)
From what I have read and understood, I should create a new layer, and then add the code to the first frame on that layer?
Exactly what code should I use? I tried something as simple as 'getURL("http://www.celonova.com","_self"); ' but that is not working. Is it bcos that is for AS 2 only?
My last question is...can I set up the link so that it works for ALL frames?
Sorry about the dumb questions but I am a complete newbie when it comes to the code side of Flash:(
Thank you VERY much in advance for your help!
Christine

Okay all,
I found some great tutorials for using the "invisible button" method, and have gotten it all to work (keeping my fingers crossed)!
Using AS 3:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt2_06.html
Using AS 2:

I hope this will be of help to someone & fellow newbies

Link from flash file/moving not working on a page

I will apologize first for what maybe a very elementary
questions. I was sent an swf file to add to a web page. I got the
movie to run on some of the pages where I inserted it into a
template and the template updated those pages. I think had to
insert it into another page and the movie does not work there. Does
this have something to do with the script in the script folder? A
conflict of some sort?
Also, I need to link the file a URL and putting <a
href> brackets around it is not working. Does the link to the
page have to embedded in the swf file?
Thanks for any help on this.

Movie working but no link:

wrapping an A HREF tag around a flash .swf object will not
work.
the link has to be "in" the swf, back when it was an FLA file
in flash.
Or- the .swf has to have actionscripting in it so that it
will take a url as

How do I find the AS that this links to in my flash file via "find"?

I have a flash file that I have on a web page. When I hover over the Join Us image, the mouse changes to a hand. I can click on the "button" but it doesn't take me anywhere. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to find the link in my Flash file via the "Find" function. What is causing the "hand" to appear, is there a goto or click actionscript that I can search? It's a pretty complex file which I didn't create, and I've had no luck finding this button layer, or AS.
I'm hoping to find where this AS is and link it to a page on my site. Thanks!

Ned, you're back to save the day for me again. You helped me with the mask issue I had a few days ago and I'll have you know, the flash ad came out brilliantly. Everyone loved it.
So you were right, I did find the code AS3.
onClipEvent (load) {
    this.hitArea = this.area;
on (rollOver) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
s1 and s2 are animations where the Join Us text rolls out and Rolls in as different colors.
I added the following to the code and it seems to work great.
onClipEvent (load) {
    this.hitArea = this.area;
on (rollOver) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
          getURL("http://mysite.html", "_self", "GET");
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I think I may owe you a lunch or something after this is all said and done!

Hi
I've got a client who has a HTML site on a laptop for a
presentation and
within this site he's wants a link that attaches to a AS2
.swf that I've
developed.
The thing is it he wants it to link to specific area of the
file and not to
play it all. How would I do this as he's just asked for the
specific address
of the area it needs to jump to.
Any help would be much appreciated bearing in mind my
ActionScript is pure
novice so a step by step would be handy.
thanks

What do you mean about opening a flash file? Do you want the
.fla file
to open in flash? Or is it a swf that you imported into
Director? Or
is it an exe that was published from flash? Or a website that
was
created with Flash?
If you are opening a .exe and you know the path to it, then
you can use
Director's built-in open command
open the moviePath&"flashFile.exe"
for most other things, I would use BuddyAPI. To open an exe,
baRunProgram(). To open a fla or swf, baOpenFile.
To make Director open a swf on the stage, import it and
simply tell the
button to go to that frame.

Adobe Encore Flash Files - Creating Clickable Links

I created a flash file from Encore CS5 with a menu created in Photoshop.
Two asset types are included on the menu:
1.) .tif files created from word .docx pages (FAQs and Info) and put into slideshows that are accessed by menu buttons
2.) .f4v video files exported from Premiere, encoded using Media Encoder, and put on a timeline that is accessed by menu buttons linked to chapter playlists
My 2 questions are:
1.) The tif files have text that contains weblinks. Can I create flash files in Encore that allow the weblink text to be clickable?
2.) The vid files have frames with text that contains weblinks. Can I create flash files in Encore that allow the weblink text to be clickable?

Here is the relevant part of the help file:
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/exporting-projects-flash-format.html#embed_web_links_i n_your_flash_project
I think the answer to both questions is "no." The help file implies that only a button can be a web link.
Has anyone tested this? Can you confirm or correct my understanding?

Linking button from one flash file to a different flash file

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone knows how to link buttons in one flash
file to open a specific scene of an entirely different flash file?
If it isn't possible to choose a specific scene, is there a way to
just open a flash file...in the same browser window, but not within
the flash file...if that makes sense?
I'm putting this on a website, so additionally, I will need
to know which file to link it to, the swf, html, or fla.
Thanks!!

I would advise against using scenes for your website. You
would need to create a separate html which would load the second
swf file within the same browser window.
This is how you call for it:
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.sitelocation.com/secondswf.html");

Linking other movie clips within one flash file

hey,
i'm making a flash tutorial for my company. I'm making each
section into a movie clip. so i'm wondering how to link from one
movie clip to another.
ok thanks

It's not confusing, there's just not enough information about
what you have designed already to be able to tell you what you can
do.
How will the movies be arranged in the Flash timeline?
If the movies are all going to be within the same Flash file,
then you will need to have buttons as the links you mention. You
can create your own so that they appear as text if that's what you
want.

Linking Flash Files?

I am trying to separate my 'scenes' into individual Flash
files instead and need to link them together (using a menu, I need
to have each module title go to that specific file). How do I do
this??? Like linking scenes but instead linking actual files.
There has to be a way...right?
Thank you!!

Link within a flash file

Hi,
I have a flash file and I want to be able to hover over it and see the cursor change and when I click I want to be sent to a page I specify on a website.
I've tried "on(release) etc" in ActionScript (although I know nothing!) and it says I need to use NavigateToURL so I tried searching on the Internet and couldn't find anything?
Can anyone please help? I'll happily elaborate if necessary.

If it's telling you you need to use navigateToURL, you are using Actionscript 3. In AS3, to make a button/movieclip 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);
