ok. how do i make a link onto the flash document , for example: start animation or replay?


plese reply!

Make a button, convert it to a symbol, and add this action to the symbol:


on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(insertframenumberhere);
}

ummm. ok... but how do i use it ?

nvm my other thread ,,, how do i get a button

Make a button, a text or whatever.
Select it.
Press F8, select convert to button.
Now go to the actions panel (its somewhere down the screen above properties)
And past the code above, and replace the "insertframenumberhere" with the frame you want the button goes to

thx alot!

i clikc f8 but it dosent turn into a button?? why?

Make sure the text (or whatever else) you want to be a button is selected (click it with your mouse), then press f8 and a dialog box should appear allowing you to convert to symbol-- choose a name and select button from the options, press 'okay'.

You could also try selecting your text and going to Insert>Convert to symbol.

After you have converted to symbol the text is now a button and you can add the above code to it.

ya i did that but when i went to test movie it said that ther was an error?
this is what it said:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Drop Shadow 1, frame=76:Line 2: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

You must convert it as a button, not image or movieclip

could it be that your code is on a keyframe in your timeline, whereas it should be on a button or mclip?

i did convert it as a button, but now when i go test movie , at the end i click on the link and nothing happens . isint it suposed to replay?

can you post your flash file online somewhere so we can have a look?

sure.. can i post it on my new site then u guys look at it there, or is that "conciderd advertizing"

Why Wont U Reply?

This is a forum, not a live chat, and we aren't here all day, please respect that

Can you post the .fla file online? That would be a bit more easy for us instead of a compiled .swf

Sphere is right - we're not here 24 hours a day.
After I came home from work, I logged in, posted in this thread, an then I went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
Now I'm back at the computer, and in ten minutes or so I'm logging off again to watch TV or read a book. Then I'll probably have an early night, since there's a busy day tomorrow too.
I have a fulltime job and my last slave died, so as you can see, my forum time is limited.

And Sphere is right too about the flash file - I asked to see the .fla file, that will tell us more than the .swf file, although I probably should have specified that.
