Flash Button Hyperlink

Flash Button Hyperlink

-

Draw a box (no stroke colour, and choose any fill colour)

-

Now right click, convert to symbol – make this into a Button symbol.

-

Now click on the Actions panel, and make sure that is says “Actions – Button” not “Actions –Frame”

-

If it says “Actions – Frame” then you need to click on the button first with the selection tool, then click on the “Actions Panel”.

-

Type in the code as follows… note if you click on the plus sign it can help you make less mistakes.

-

Make sure that you type in the code EXACTLY. If you accidently type in lowercase or uppercase when you’re not supposed to, it will not work at all. Flash is “case-sensitive”.

-

Now run your program by pressing Ctrl+Enter.

-

Congratulations, you now know how to link your Flash website to another website. This is called a hyperlink.

-

Challenge: Try writing text over your button… what’s problems arise?

-

Challenge 2: Try getting your button to make movie symbols visible… what?!? Ask Mr. Kim.
