Hi there.Learnt a lot from this site already.I’m using Flash MX on a MAC and am building my first web site.I have some character animations that happen when the mouse is over them with the use of buttons and movies, but I would like to to play one frame of animation and then link to another page when the button is pressed.
I’ve tried the method of making URL’s in flash on this site and it only woks on non animated buttons.
Anyone help?

[AS]on (rollOver) {
//Incorporate your script.
blahblahblah;
}
on (press) {
getURL(“[http://www.siteName.com](http://www.siteName.com)”,"\_self");
}[/AS]Is this what you’re talking about?

Sorry for the confusion, I’m not very familiar with all the correct terms.I mean make links from my animations.I can do this from a static button but not one with anythiung else .
Wizard does that action script mean on rollover it will link to a web site?

use geturl inside the clipevent for release ;)…
just put this on your animation:
[AS]on (press) {
getURL(“[http://www.siteName.com](http://www.siteName.com)”,"\_self");
}[/AS]

In your first post you said that you had some (character) animations that happened on the roll over. I don’t know what script you’re using for that, which is why I put blablahblah.
In the script I gave you, it will link to a website on the release of a button, the same button that you used for your character animation.
It’s kinda hard to imagine how you have it set up so I was just going by what you told us.

Wizard that script worked fine ,I put play in stead of blahblah
So if I understand it right I,m telling the animation to play if the mouse moves over and then link to a web site when the button is pressed.
Thanks for everyones help.

Yeah I don’t think blahblahblah would’ve worked. :lol:
And yes, you do understand it correctly.
