basic link question

[JM007]

Hi,

You know that you can link a symbol directly when you click it double , in the "properties" window...I did this but what's bugging me is that you have to click the link multible times intil it opens..
Try it yourself http://www.wettersewezels.be , try to click "stadion" or "home" you'll see that it doesn't work directly.How can I solve this?

You may have used the wrong code . Post the code and tell where its located, and if the "buttons" are movieclips or regular buttons.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply,I don't see how I could have used the rang code as I didn't used any code..I just clicked the symbol and then I was able to fill in the url...to make the situation more clear I've uploaded a screenshot you can view it here :

Its not a symbol , but a static textfield, so you selected the text and put a url in the link field in the property panel.

That should work unless the textfield is inside a symbol that have other actions to it.

Normally you would make a button of the textfield so you can have color changes on mouse over and so on.

hi,

I clicked the symbol double and I saw it is already a button..the buttons do not have other actions..I really don't understand why this doesn't work decently..very strange it works "half" after trying a few times it opens the page..but visitors wil click one time and say "this doesn't work"!

If the textfield is in a button you will get a conflict as the button has built in functions.

Dont put the link on the textfield but ON the button.

Select the button. Open the actioscript editor ( F9 ) and paste this...

on(release){
getURL("http://www.wettersewezels.be/stadion.php");
}
