after following the instructions in the [size=2][color=#000000]Creating a Hyperlink (link below) tutorial, I had trouble when it came to adding the actions. Eventually, I figured it out, but wasnt able to do it as instructed.
My question is how do I pull up the url field? It may be that Im using flash mx 2004, but you would think they would make things easier in 2004 instead of taking out usefull tools such as the url field…
You need to bring up what’s called the “Property Inspector” by either going to the “Window” menu or pressing Control+F3. This shows properties (such as the link bar) for whichever object is currently selected on the stage.
So click on your text to display properties for the textfield. The link field is the large one at the bottom.
P.S. I think HTML code is turned off in these forums. I may be wrong, if so, there’s probably an option in the “Go Advanced” reply section.
the tutorial uses a feature called “Normal mode” in the actionscript editor which was stupidly removed from MX2004. You’ll just have to type in the script by hand (which you’ve done and which is how its done now).
Note: the new behaviors panel allows for the inclusion of simple commands like this with a simpler interface than typing them in directly in the actionscript editor
