Multiple url links not working in flash catalyst

Hi,
I hope there is a simple solution that I have mistakenly overlooked - I have a flash catalyst file for my homepage with about 6 different url link buttons (full size images) each of which fade in one at a time, and take up the whole flash screen while visible. When one particular image (converted to button) is visible, I want people to click and go to the relevant link for that picture. However, no matter when I click on any image, the only link that works is the top button (even though it's hidden.)
I am still new to Catalyst and your help is so greatly appreciated!

I suspect it might be in how you might have made your button. Can you post your project? I can take a quick look.

Target field in Text URL Link not working.

I'm working with CS6 creating a web-site for a client. The client has giving me a list of Publications to display on a particuter page, which is an overview of all the books that my cleint has published. The details for each book are on individual pages, which I've already created and have URL's for. The idea is to look at the overview page and if you desire, select a book title to view additional details about that particular book.
For this Overview page I've created a classic text block that contains several URL links.
Example: "This is information about book 1: URL LINK to BOOK 1 title. Great Press Book Publisher, 2010.
This is information about book 2: URL LINK to BOOK 2 Title . Great Press Book Publisher, 2011.
This is information about book 3: URL LINK to BOOK 3 Title. Great Press Book Publisher, 2012.
This is information about book 4: URL LINK to BOOK 4 title. Great Press Book Publisher, 2013."
I've placed the URL links for each respective book in the highlighetd text area for that book, represented by the BLUE text in the above example. The overview page as well as the individual book pages are publised and in my domain on-line.
Everything works fine with one exception. When I select a book link in the overview page, I want to have a New Browser window appear for that books individual page. Currently, the individual book page appears in the same browser window.
All, documentation I read says that I can set the "Target" field in Text properties to either NONE or _Blank to get a New Browser Window, but this does not seem to work.
Breaking up the text into small pieces is not an option, since Flash seems to shift text block positions when they are placed close to one another. I don't know why, it just happens. This makes the site unusable so the text block needs to remain a single text block for appearance reasons.
So, does anyone know if this is a bug in CS6?
Or does anyone know how I can get the "Target" setting to work for URL links within a block of text?
Thanks.

How are you assigning the links in the text? Normally if you assign a url to a textfield you can select one of four different targets, none of which is NONE (_blank, _parent, _top, _self)... so I am wondering why what you describe is different than what I'd expect.

URL Links not working in ADE

I have created URL links in a PDF ebook using acrobat. The links work just fine in Acrobat. When I try to click on the link in ADE 2.0 some of the links aren't recognized, meaning they're not clickable. Is there a certain setting that should be used in acrobat to ensure that links are clickable in ADE?. It's important that they work in ADE because once DRM is added to the file, it will only be readable in ADE.
Thanks in advance for any help

Clear Safari, close Safari and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Might be worth checking on the Acrobat forum.
Also probably worth seeing if they work on v1.7.2 (*2), on Sony Reader(*1), and on ereader devices and tablet ereader apps such as Bluefire.
It could easily be a bug in ADE2.0, there are very many of them.
Lots of people including me still use 1.7.2 for that reason; but you may not have the choice of what to expect your readers to have.
~~~~
(*1) you can use Sony Reader; free download from Sony intended to run with Sony eReaders but works quite happily without. I prefer ADE1.7.2 to Sony Reader. https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
~~~~~~~~~
(*2) There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Swf url links not working on local files

Tearing my hair out on this one. I have simple swf files with
links to html pages in the same directory - they work fine on the
internet, but not when they're local. I'm on a mac osx 10.4.11
FireFox and Safri. Flash pro cs3. I need the links to work on the
web & CD. I've updated flash player ... etc...
thanks in advance for any clues!

Hi Per,
Wamp server's default site folder is www. For best results, you should move your Local Site folder to www inside your wamp server. That way, when you save changes locally they are automatically saved to your local testing server.
Click on screenshots below:
Spaces in file and folder names are never a good idea because they get converted to %20 characters which can lead to path problems.

External URL links not working in .exe

I have created a training programme using Adobe Captivate 7 which includes hyperlinks to websites and documents on a DVD Rom as a .exe
I have managed to open the documents, however the URL hyperlinks are not working. I have had these working in previous versions of Adobe Captivate without having to change any 'Global Settings'. The issue being that I can't expect all of the learners who take the course to change their Global settings when they use it.
How come this has changed in the new version?

I know you said you didn't need to set Flash Security in previous versions, but I've been using Captivate since version 1 and it's always worked this way for me. Only if you publish to HTM/SWF and launch from a web server can you use Open URL actions on external files without needing to configure Flash Security.

URL links not working in safari

Hello, I am unable to open URL links in Safari. (iPad) all was well until a few days ago and I must have done something! Everything else is working fine. Can anyone help me sort this out. I'm sure there is something in settings but I can't find it. Thanks in advance. Pat

Plain Text URL links not working in the Windows 8 Mail App for only one account.

Hello,
I just started using a Surface Pro, and randomly one of the accounts I have setup in the "Modern" Mail app stopped parsing the pain text URL path that was included in them. Specifically links to forum discussions. I have 4 other Win
8 devices and they display the links fine.
More confusing is this issue happens ONLY with my O365 mail account and only on one PC. I have an Outlook.com account and it renders the pain text URL as a clickable link, but when I send the same email to my O365 account it just shows up as
text, no link generated. All in the same Windows 8 Mail App.
I ran the Windows 8 App Troubleshooter, I've reinstalled the Mail app, I've removed and re-added the mail account. Nothing fixes this. Anyone know why?
Thanks,
Joe

Same problem for us, the link is also not rendered, if the mail is sent to an on-premise Exchange server.
Its only for plain-text messags, HTML-messages work fine.
Why is this problem ignored? The app is useless with that limitation.

URL link not working on client PCs

Hi All,
I created an APEX application and gave the URL to users to access the app. from their desktop. It worked fine for a while and now I can only access the app. from the server using that URL. Any idea why this is happening?
Albert

This really does not sound like an Apex issue at all.
Can they reach other websites?
Is it an internal hostname or external? i.e.- do they get there by typing a server name or do they have to type a fully qualified url?
Can they ping the host?
I think you may need your IT department to look into this. By that error, the client PC is not even getting a request to the Apex server. Afraid this isn't one for the Apex forum.

Dynamic link between Photoshop and Flash Catalyst does not exist

Hi,
I'm a french developer and I have a question.
I didnt find any Dynamci link between Photoshop and Flash Catalyst.
Let me explain :
I have a photoshop file (.psd) and I import it into Flash Catalyst.
But I have some modification to do on my design file (psd) but the design does not update himself in Flash Catalyst .
Do you plane to add the possibility ?
Thanks a lot !

Given that you named the class TextDynamicLayout, it implies you are trying to handle wordwrapping text. That requires handing down the VBox's explicitWidth to the Text controls before they get measured. Wordwrapping text can be any size so it needs to have its width fixed in order to determine its height.
The List classes do not support percentages on the renderers. All renderers are effectively given a size based on the List's size (or DG Column size). You can see how explicitWidth is handled in the default renderer by looking at the source for ListItemRenderer.as.
Note that VBox or any container makes for heavy and slow rendering. That's why the default Flex renderers extend UIComponent and have custom measure() and updateDisplayList() methods.

Flash Global Security & Links Not Working?

Hi all,
I am absolutely near some sort of breakdown with my Flash website....I really hope someone can help!
I am building my portfolio website; I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 (on Mac) and inserting Flash animations in the centre of a table in each Dreamweaver page. All was working fine until I built the Contact page animation on Flash last night. I linked in some external websites to my Blog, Flickr and Twitter and also need a button to launch the user's default mail client.
When I tested the animation (CMD+ENTR) in Flash the links appeared to be working, if after a few clicks. I then inserted the Contact animation into the Contact.html page on Dreamweaver and tested it in Safari. A dialogue box came up regarding something about security settings and Flash 8 (makes no sense as I am using Flash 9); and I ended up on the Global Security Setttings panel page on the Adobe website. I selected the entire folder the website is in on my hard drive under "Trust Files in these Locations". Now the ENTIRE website's flash animations are not working. There are links to internal pages of the site (i.e. a link to the "Contact" page in the animaiton on the Home page) which are now not working either. No error messages come up when I test the movie in CS3 either. I have refreshed Safari, restarted the Mac and redone the folder on the Global Security Settings panel. Also loaded the entire website onto a PC this morning, all links not working either.
Actionscript 3 on the Contact page looks like this:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//---Blog Button---\\
var getBlog: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.myblogsdomain.com");
Blg_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick);
function eClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getBlog, "_self");
//---Twitter Button---\\
var getTwitter: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.twitter.com/mydomain");
Twt_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick1);
function eClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getTwitter, "_self");
//---Flickr Button---\\
var getFlickr: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.flickr.com/photos/mydomain");
Flkr_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick2);
function eClick2(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getFlickr, "_self");
//---Email Button---\\
var getMail: URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
Eml_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick3);
function eClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getMail, "_self");
I'm not 100% sure if the e-mail AS3 I set up is correct, but as none of the links are working I can't test it. I cannot provide a link to the website as it isn't uploaded yet, and I don't really want to upload it not working properly.
Any help at all would be gratefully received, I'm really, really on the brink of some sort of breakdown. Thanks.

Thanks Samuel.Wong and Ned Murphy for the information.
I'm not actually sure what happened but my website suddenly started working again today, I think possibly by selecting "Always Allow" on the Global Security Page as well as inserting every individual file as well as the folder under "Trusted Locations" has also done the trick.
The external links appear to work when I test the movie in Flash CS3, but the same warning comes up once the movie is inserted into a Dreamweaver html page and tested in Safari. However I think when the links (all except the email ) appear to be working in Flash then it should be just fine once uploaded onto the server. Many thanks for your advice once again.

External links not work

Hello,
I have a word document that has external links. Text that
links to other page or other url.
When I convert my doc (word document) into a swf using flash
paper 2 the links not work. There are still highlighted but no
linking is taking place.
please help me.
Thanks
Alejandro

I am having the same problem. At first I thought it was
because I had converted an excel file but I tried the same
information from a word document and the links do not work in the
browser or if I view the SWF file separately. Additionally, when I
convert the word file to a pdf none of the hyperlinks to pages or
documents work but the links to email addresses do.
