Movieclip Button Hyperlink help

I have a Migraine enducing problem.

Iam creating a Picture preview system, so far I have a movie clip with all of my images inside,
a load of buttons that when pressed make the movie clip swap to the correct picture and stop there.

All of this is fine, my issue is that I wantto place the Movie clip in question into a button, and depending on the particular frame the movie is showing, it will send the user to a different Website.

*falls over*

bad idea. once the mc is in the button you can't target it anymore.

place a button inside your movieclip instead. You could have a button per frame (tedious), or code the urls call depending on the _currentframe, for instance using an array, and calling:

PHP Code:

---

getURL(myarray[this._currentframe+1], "_blank"); 


---

for the array part:

PHP Code:

---

myarray = new Array();
myarray[0] = "http://www.flashkit.com";
myarray[1] = "http://www.google.com"; 


---

on frame1 you call flashkit, onframe2 you call google, etc.
not tested but should work.

Forgive my lack of Actionscript knowledge...

Iam mildly confused about the Arrays. they 'seem' to work under the setup I have used.

The MC

PHP Code:

---

onClipEvent(load) {
    stop();

myarray = new Array();
myarray[0] = "http://www.flashkit.com";
myarray[1] = "http://www.google.com"; 
} 


---

Button on a layer ontop of the MC that is linked

PHP Code:

---

on (release) {
    getURL(myarray[mc._currentframe+1], "_blank");
} 


---

you don't need the onClipEvent. That block will work as well in a frame.

Actually your setup shouldn't work. Since you used that clipEvent on a movieclip, myArray now is part of that movieclip scope, instead of the timeline where your button sits.

For exemple if that movieclip instance name was mc, you should reference the Array as: mc.myarray

How do you hyperlink a phone number for mobile websites? I have a website and I want to create a mobile version for viewing on cell phones. I know there is a way to hyperlink a phone number so that when you highlight the number, the phone will recognize it and “ask” you if you want to dial the number. I need the html tag that will allow this to be done. Thanks
