OK, to start, Im only 14 and I'm just learning how to make websites in Flash. I took a class on Flash in school, but they didn't show me what I need. I have made a button, how do I set the hyperlink, target, etc.??
PS - I am using Flash MX

place the button on the stage, and select it.
...then press F9 to get your actions box up.
On the left hand side you'll eventually find the command getUrl... double click that and upt the address of the page you want it to go to.Good Luck

loadMovie ("moviename.swf", "nameofmoviecliptoreplacemoviewi...

you are 1/2 of my age and probably know 10x as much as i do in flash.
time to sell myself to the glue factory. hehe

loadMovie ("moviename.swf", "nameofmoviecliptoreplacemoviewi...
"nameofmoviecliptoreplacemoviewi... ... is this a level or target?
well either way, it wont do what I'm telling it to. I put "main.swf" onto the stage, then put
loadMovie ("contact.swf", "main.swf")
as the script for my button, and it isnt doing it... help??

it's a target...
you nee to create a blank symbol and put it on the stage...call it 'movieholder' then on the button have getUrl("contact.swf", "movieholder");
- Recoil2k20
OK, so it's getUrl, not loadMovie
- unknown0
use getURL.
and get a manual.
- Recoil2k20
haha, yeah I probably should

better a manual than destroying the (inalterable) pattience of engagestudio

I tried movieholder as a graphic, button, and movie, it still wont work work...
Here's my script on the button...
loadMovie("contact.swf", "movieholder");
What's wrong?
- unknown0
the blank movieclip needs to be a movieclip?!?!?! and you need to give it the instance name of 'movieholder'
- Recoil2k20
OK, it's working now. I didn't have the instance name movieholder... Thanks a lot for the help Engage
