}

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openPage);

wont work for me :((
I uses google chrome & firefox 6.
the entire flash movie got blank.
I used actionscript 3 too
what happened paul?

I was working on a projector to run from a CD, the client handed me swf and I didn’t have the flas…loaded hundreds of files just ok but one would always crash the projector and the browser window when running debug on flex…

…it wasn’t the best way round but it worked ;)
Thanks a LOT!

The AS3 equivalent would be as follows:
1. Select the object and give it an instance name in the properties panel: e.g. “adButton”

2. Select a keyframe where you want to add the code (best to add a new layer for this). Open the Actions panel and enter the following (replacing “adButton” with the instance name you specified in 1):

addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, openAd);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, closeAd);

function openAd(event:MouseEvent):void {
getURL(“javascript:ExpandableBanners.openAd();”);
}

function closeAd(event:MouseEvent):void {
getURL(“javascript:ExpandableBanners.closeAd();”);
}

Of course, that’s not applying any of the solutions mentioned here — just the equivalent to the code you provided.

on (rollOver) {
getURL(“javascript:ExpandableBanners.openAd();”);
}

on (rollOut) {
getURL(“javascript:ExpandableBanners.closeAd();”);
}

please please help if you can.

Thank you again!

var url:String = “http://myurl.com”;

function callLink(url):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(root.url);
try {
navigateToURL(request, ‘_blank’);
} catch (e:Error) {
trace(“Error occurred!”);
}
}

Here is the link to the source file: http://www.myfavorites.com/flashtest/header_v8_122209_v2.fla
I believe that the actionscripting needs to be done in the “baners” movieclip, but it could also be the “Symbol 3” movieclip. I’m not sure and this is where I also need help.

Here is also a link to the .swf (http://www.myfavorites.com/flashtest/header_v8_122209_v2.swf). See, if you mouse over the first two clips, they animate, but they do not go to the HTML page if you click on them (http://www.myfavorites.com/flashtest/success1.html). The third clip will go to the page success1.html in the same folder if you click on it, but it does not animate on mouse over.

I’m using Flash CS3 as my editor and I’m using ActionScript 2.0 for the scripting.

Any help you can provide on this is most appreciated!! I’m normally pretty good at figuring out things on my own, but This problem is driving me crazy!!

I constructed the absolute in a way that it displays EXCATLY the path/file I want in the browser, I can display the string in th FLash-Movie, copy-n-paste it and then it works. Only getURL is not working…

Note that I am old Flash MX on the PC and I am also creating the Mac projector on the PC. But I think that shouldn’t be a problem.
Does anyone have advice about this?
