Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Site Design / October 2008

Hai, I think you are using Flash CS3 action script3.In actionscript3 ,we are
not allowed to apply actions on buttons or movieclips.
To fix this problem target on actionscript2 or use the eventlistener and
navigatetoURL method in AS3.
Thanks

Thank you!!!  That worked!  :)

I still do not understand

What is the ActionScript we are supposed to put in there?

When I put

on(release){
getURL("http://www.whateverSitePage.com");
}

in CS4 using AS2 it gives me an error about the brackets not being needed, I
took them out it says its ok but when I click the button it does not go to the
site. (Nor will it go to the site with the brackets)

Hello

I am in new in this forum. Actually i want to learn Flash online for free. Can
any one give me a website which helps me. If intersted then contact me at my
e-mail kasim_ali69@hotmail.com.

Best regard's

I created a swf to put up on a website (created the website with Dreamweaver)
here: http://www.youthscape.ca/New_Stories.html   

I need to get those buttons (the swirly ones) to link to other pages.  In
Flash, it won't let me put any code in for the buttons; when I click on a
button or click on a keyframe in the button; it says "Current selection cannot
have actions applied to it." in the Actionscript window.   I had assumed that
you'd put in:

on(release){
getURL("http://www.whateverSitePage.com");
}

I just need to know where to put that, or if I'm totally wrong and there is
another way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
