Click flash animation to go to site - end of my tether!

[misterkode]

Hi all

I've got a flash animation attached which I added a layer to and follow the post at http://board.flashkit.com/board/show....php?p=4242023 to try and make it go to a url when the layer is clicked.

You can see the animation at http://www.atouchofromance.com.au/te...50withurl.html but when it is clicked on, instead of going to the site I specify (http://interestfree.com.au/en/index....002-GECL-00232) it goes to http://www.atouchofromance.com.au/temp/undefined

I'm nearly at the end of my tether here - have tried it in flash cs3 trial with a number of tutorials online,. and I also just bought Koolmoves, tried it as well but it does exactly the same this. I've set Flash 8 export and network access in publish options, so don't know where things are going wrong, and client is getting anxious and wanting it like yesterday!

Please help!

Thanks
Carl

After looking at the FLA, I noticed you call an "invisiButton" which doesn't exist. So you can delete the 2 statements on Frame 1 and just add:

clickTag = "http://interestfree.com.au/en/index.html?gemid1=9002-GECL-00232";

The clickTag layer holds the actual button with the code:

on(release){
    getURL(clickTag, "_blank");
}

So, basically it is going to the URL defined by the variable "clickTag" which we set to the link above.

Thanks so much Steven!

With a couple of small changes, it worked nicely!

I modified the code above to this:

invisiButton.buttonMode = true;
clickTag = "http://interestfree.com.au/en/index.html?gemid1=9002-GECL-00232";
invisiButton.onReleased = function() {
    getURL(clickTag, "_blank");
};

FYI, the command isn't onReleased, it is onRelease, if it is right it should change to blue. And, you don't need:

invisiButton.buttonMode = true; // < delete this
clickTag = "http://interestfree.com.au/en/index.html?gemid1=9002-GECL-00232";
invisiButton.onReleased = function() { // < delete this
    getURL(clickTag, "_blank"); // < delete this
};

There is no invisiButton in the source I looked through.Try it with comments and it will still work. There is only 1 button in the clickTag layer. Just to code efficiently remove it.

Glad to hear it worked.
