Actionscript linking.

[Ash]

I am making a new website and I want the links to be in flash so I added some actionscript to it but it don't work. Is this the right code:

Code: Select all

on (release) {
    getURL("http://s15.invisionfree.com/Online_gamers/index.php?act=idx", "_blank");
}
on (release) {
    stop();
}


If not what is?

I have never used the extra stuff you have on yours.

But this works for me.

Code: Select all

on (release) {
   getURL("http://WWW.YOUR URL.com");
}

I put that code in and when I press ctrl and enter it opens the link i used. Do I need to add a

Code: Select all

stop();

?

You should not need to no.

It should only work once you release.

Have you used any action script in the rest of the Flash object?

Maybe that is activating it for some reason???

[Ash]

No I have not used any more flash in the file.

[johneva]

Oh where are you adding the action script?

It should not be in with the rest of the frames of the movie clip.

Here take a look at this button I have made.

Link to Button

The code for that is the same code I used but mine never worked. Maybe it's my version of Flash?

[johneva]

Are you putting it in the same place though?

As far as I know it is the same code for all versions of Flash.

make sure it's applied to the button and not just dumped on the main timeline (that's if you don't have it dot prefixed with the instance name).

I know what I was doing and it was not dumped on the timeline.
