What is wrong with my code

What is wrong with my AS code?

on release{
getURL"http:www.google.com""_self";
}

his error occurs if you put object code on a frame instead of the object...

"**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) (


The next two errors can result from and incomplete function or a function with an extra paren that is not needed...

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 2: ')' expected
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_self");

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 3: Unexpected ')' encountered
)

The final error is due to the getURL method being empty...

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Wrong number of parameters; getURL requires between 1 and 3.
getURL();"


If your using object code, make sure the object is highlighted before posting code in the AS window. The AS window will tell you what object or frame is in focus at the top of the window.

Ok I get:

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer Name', Frame 1, Line 1

1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute on, not release.

on release{

It should look like this:

Code: Select all

on (release)
{
getURL("http://www.google.com", _self);
}

ok that gives me more errors

Flash 8 or 9? No errors for me in Flash 8.

Remember, this needs to be ON a button, NOT on the actions layer since it uses the "on" scripting feature.

9 and I'm putting the code here:

[acrikey]

select the layer that the button is on as a symbol and action scripting, if I go into the button it says:

Current selection cannot have actions applied to it

[acrikey]

sorted, cheers guys
