OK i know this isn't a ride or anything, but my day job is making me do a flash animation. I got it all dialed in, but i cant figure out how the hell to link the pictures in my thing to a URL (the most crucial part of this mission). I converted them to symbols (graphic) and im trying to use the getURL action command. The Shit don't work. IF ANY OF YOU guys (or gals) knows how to do this, and can show me on a computer or something (I'm sure its real easy im just missing one stupid button) I would be like, mega grateful. I can pay u in beers and bike parts perhaps.

HALP!!

I know its not a ride and hopefully i wont have ask for non ride help in the future, but I'm really in a bind here.

THANX!!!

It's not a ride, probly should've made that more clear in my post. If i cant figger this out, my job wont let me take time off to go to PDX to compete in the Oregon State Polo Championships, so it does affect riding, in a roundabout way.

Using Get URL command, the object can be linked to a different location. By selecting a button, from the flash movie, if we want to navigate to another application and it can be made with the help of Get URL command.

Syntax : get URL (url[,window [, variables]]);

URL - The location to which the link has to be made is specified in the URL text box.

Window - an argument which specifies in which window the document should open.


_self - specifies current frame in current window.
_blank - specifies a new window.
_parent - specifies the parent of current frame.
_top - specifies the top frame of current window.

Cereal people im a lil desperate here, and I know a gang of ya'll are in the d-zine biz. I wouldnt ask for yer help and subsequently damage my Rida credibility by asking for this help here for no reason. But yeah take this opportunity to give me a hard time, Ive been there. Somebody has to want to come over to my crib for this, I promise it will be worth your time. Both Que Ricos, and the Tonga Hut are within walking distance...

sorry dude, i too haven't touched flash since my 2nd year of college. My employer recently told us he wants us all to learn it too... which sucks balls. Flash was the reason I stuck to print design in school.
