Why won't my Flash links work?

I have programed flash links in Macromedia flash professional 8 for my site and they work perfectly except if the user types the url straight into the address bar. The links work fine if the user clicks a link to get to my page. Why is this?

 

actually it will works. are u sure u type the right link?
or try to move it to another folder (on your public html folder) and of course
u have to change all the link that connected to it.
good luck

 

Right, actually I can not understand your question very well. How the link not work? Because if the URL is right no matter what way you used, it will lead you to the right website.

I want to help you but I need more details about it. So can you give me a link so we can see your problem.

 

What does not work is when the user types in the url directly to the address bar, not following a link, the flash buttons don't press. I used the onPress function to program it. I would give you a link but over half my site is down for editing so most of the links are broken anyway.

 

It would be because of using a relative url link?
So depending on which url location you start from ends up at different results.

For example:

Relative URL: ../flash/content.html
Actual URL: mysite.com/flash/content.html
Current location: mysite.com/flash/games/game.swf
Relative location: mysite.com/flash/flash/content.html (error)

Probably not the best example, but you get the picture?

 

No. It doesn't give a broken link error. Instead the flash onPress() buttons don't click. They only click if the user uses, a link to get to the page. If the user types the url into the address bar directly the flash loads, but the onPress() buttons don't work. I can't figure out why.

If you still don't understand ask for a link and I'll give it to you but if you use it please don't use any of the functions bc they are still in development.
