I need a GetURL whiz

programming flash
1

Hey out there;
Here’s my problem - in my movie i have a spot where you can trigger a geturl (set to blank). So image my surprise when i closed the window and my movie just sat there - it didn’t pick up where it left off. Stupid me, i just assume a geturl would create a natural pause in the movie and then when you closed the window, the movie would pick up where it left off.
So okay, can anyone tell me how i set this up - when the reader closes out the window that my ‘geturl’ triggered, how do i make my movie continue on as if nothing happened?

thanks
Hoss

you could just add a Reactivate button that becomes visible when the getURL button is released.
so your AS for the getURL button would be:
on(release){
getURL(“http://www.something.com”, “_blank”);
reactivatebutton._visible=true;
_root.stop();
}

and then the reactivate button would have reactivatebutton as it’s instance name and AS:
on(release){
nextFrame();
this._visible=false;
}

so that it disappears and starts playing the next frame of your movie.
