KM 7.4.1 - URL undefined when clicked in animation

Hi all

I imported a SWF into a new file on KM 7.4.1 and laid a transparent rectangle on top, Converted the rectangle to a button and set the action to go to a website when clicked.

Here it is at http://www.atouchofromance.com.au/temp/newclick.html

The problem is that it comes up as undefined when clicked on instead of http://interestfree.com.au/en/index....002-GECL-00232

Have set it for network access, and included the necessary files in the same folder.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks heaps,
Carl

The target for the action may also be important. I think you need _blank to avoid a flash security issue.

Is the flash export 8, 9, or 10?

What happens if you remove the underlying swf?

I suggest that you post the KoolMoves popup with the action. It is possible that the url is so long that KoolMoves is truncating it on export. Testing with a simple button at flash 8 export could eliminate that theory.

Look at the flash log you are generating an error

Warning: Reference to undeclared variable, 'clickTag'

This is why using trace and debug players is so important when developing.

I suggest that you use the clicktag button action rather than constructing your own.

Hi Bob

Have tried it with Flash 8 and 10 export and network turned on but wouldn't work either way. Have removed the swf from under the transparent rectangle. I managed to find where the action for clicktag was for the rectangle/button, and added it, but it doesn't have anywhere for me to put in a url to go to when the user clicks on the rectangle.

Koolmoves has changed so much since I used it 3 or 4 years ago! I got alot of learning to do.

Any help you can provide or links to tutorials would be great

Thanks
Carl

I suggest you attach the fun file so people can look at the action.

Just did some checking and there are some issues with ClickTag and AS3 but this was posted elsewhere as a working solution:

code:

---

var _url:String = "";

if (LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters.clickTag)

{ _url = LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters.clickTag;

    myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, handleMouse); }

  function handleMouse(event:MouseEvent):void

{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest(_url), "_blank"); }

If it isn't working for you with Flash 8, there is something else going on. There are definitely people successfully using clicktag with Flash 8.

Hi Bob

I've attached the new .fun for for your perusal with the code from above, but it still won't go to the website (http://interestfree.com.au/en/index....002-GECL-00232)

I've removed all other actions I had for urls, hope someone can help!

Carl

Thanks Bret
