Flash #04: Basic Buttons

Although buttons are a staple in Macromedia Flash, many of the tutorials get a little overcomplicated. I'm hoping this helps. :)

I have an FLA animation. When I click it, I want it to open my website. I've been trying to do it for weeks. Weeks of watching these damn tutorials. I hate flash.

Are you trying to play a flash movie on your web site or do you have a button in a movie that opens another web site?

[J2897]

It's just a movie (No buttons). I'm trying to make it so that when I click anywhere in the movie, my website opens. Just like a normal hyperlink.

On a new layer (on top) create a button that covers the entire stage. Delete the UP, OVER, and DOWN areas but have the HIT area cover the whole thing. When you are in the "edit" mode it will look like a transparent color (probably red or blue) is covering everything, but it won't appear on the actual movie. Add an action to that button so if they click anywhere on the movie it will open the web page (use a GET URL action).

You will have to type code for it in action script

so you have button for example click me

You will have to give instance name

btnClickMe, so add event listener for it

And function is going to be

gotoAndStop ('movie') your next frame name, thats where your Movie is going to be

Give to your frame any name you want

and it's going to be in brackets like this (' ')
