Hi “Flashers”,
I’m beginning to think I picked the wrong movie to learn and practice Flash MX 2004. However, I’m trying to stick with it :h: .
I have a button symbol that I want to open up a text box and also an external link when it is clicked. I dragged the button to the stage and added the following action:
ActionScript:
on (release) {
getURL(mypage.html,_blank);
}
When I tested the movie it returned the following:
Error Scene=main, layer=btns, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
Can someone tell me why I am receiving this error and how I can correct it?
I am also searching for a tutorial that can tell me how to add a thumbnail photo to a text box that will open an external html page when the photo is clicked.
I am trying to do as much as I can while I have the MX trial before I actually decide on buying it. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Foxy:h: :h:
