Problems linking flash buttons

[Phixon]

Has anyone had problems linking flash buttons on cs3, all i seem to get is ''current selection can not have actions applied to it''

Any suggestions

[Sgaspar11]

I haven't, the item you are applying actions to, are you sure you've made it into a symbol? i.e. movieclip or button?

It is set as a button

Hm, interesting, I haven't had any issues with it as of yet. Sorry to not be of any help.

[Phixon]

could anyone explain the exact method of applying a link to an htlm doc to a button on CS3, as i could do it on cs2

[Sgaspar11]

It's have to looke something like this:

Code: Select all

 
// assume the button's name is myButton

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.*;

function openPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.html");
    navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
}

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openPage);
