.SWF/.FLA related - How can I simply make a .swf with a href on it? - Will rep!

I have a .swf file containing a banner.

How do I link the banner with www.something.com

I guess it's action script related - thank you - will rep!

 

convert your banner to MovieClip.
select the drawing and press [F8] and choose [Movie Clip] as the option.
then select the converted MovieClip and press F9 to open the action panel.
and then write this code..

on(Release)
{

GetURL("http://www.example.com");

}

// GetURL("http://www.example.com","_blank");
// _blank ... this will open the link in new window..

let me know..
thanks.

 

Didn't seem to work, I have the HOVER mouse thingy, but when I click it does nothing.

This is I have several layers in the movie, I have made a transparent one on top and made it movie clip..

No luck

 

oh sorry ! try to use this code.
(no CAPS in gett , Release)
on(release)
{

getURL("http://www.example.com");

}

let me know if anything.

thanks.

 

Try this:

Convert your Vectors/whatever to a MC. Open the actions for MC, and type this:

on (release) {
getURL "http://www.google.com" "_blank"
}

If that doesnt work, try this:

Copy your banner/button/whatever, Paste in place on top of the original art, break apart, change the filling to 0% Alpha of the color White. Then convert it to a Button, and type this in the Button actions:

on (release) {
getURL "http://www.google.com" "_blank"
}

 

THanks guys, the problem was CS3, I hate it

Flash MX worked just fine, the syntax was correct and it helped out, I wonder still if there are any HTML variants.

 

Dude..

You should've said that from the beginning.

I hope that you went into CS3 setting and changed the Actionscript to 2.0

... *sigh

 

anyways , nice to hear that you got it solved !
