Hi everyone
I have got a job interview on Monday so a fast response would be excleent if at all possible. I am required to present something that I have designed. Well I have a portfolio that I am going to create in plain HTML/Dreamweaver with a flash “splash” intro.
Now each of the buttons on the intro will have to have a geturl action attached, but they will be files on a CD-ROM. Of course not everyone has one letter as their CD-ROM.
So if on my geturl action I put:
D:\portfolio.html
The this won’t work on some people who have their CD-ROMS set as E, etc. Can anyone advise on other different methods or how to get this one working? Thankyou.

I think a relative URL without the specifying the drive should work.

Seeing that it is Monday, I hope this isn’t too late. You can just use code like:
[AS]
on(press){
getURL(“index.html”, “\_blank”);
}
[/AS]
As long as everything is in the same folder on the same disk.

Thats great freddy - would I code that myself or select it from the action/operators etc in the actionscript panel?

Whichever you desire. I’ve never used the actions list (so I’m sure there’s a lot I’m missing), but I do know to code yourself you have to click expert mode in the actions panel - which is a long shot for me (expertwise that is).
