  Urgent help if possible.
  I created a banner in Flash.
  Stupidly i selected AS3 not knowing that it would effect much.

  So the link to my site doesn't work.
  Is there a way of converting the document to AS2 or can someone quickly tell me what the AS3 version of this is please.

  on(release){
  getURL("http://www.mysite.com" , "_blank");
  }

  Thanks.

  yourButton.addEventListener(Mous... MouseUp);

  function MouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
  var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mysite.com");
  navigateToURL(request);
  }

  take the code off of the button/movieclip.
  Make an blank keyframe on the timeline directly above where ever the cut and paste the code from where it is now and into that blank frame.

  we all feel your pain, Hay - more often than not I think it would have been easier to get up to speed with 3.0 if I'd not spent the last few years blasting out 2.0 without really having to think...
  I have been helped greatly by the OReilly 'Essential Actionscript 3.0', and Lee Brimelows GotoAndLearn.com.. stick at it, it really is a far more grown-up language than the spasmodic paper and string of 2.0 :)

  It's not a problem at all, simply go into publish settings and choose Actionscript 2 and do it as normal.

  You can't use AS3 on most banner systems anyway so advising Haydesign to do it the proper AS3 way is pointless.

  • Good point. I can't think of any of our vendors at work that will take Flash 9. Half won't even take Flash 7– CyBrain1/2

    extremely true.
    Well done.– mikotondria32/2
