we are trying to use the file:/// syntax to link to a local swf file for a flash dvd. How does one specify the relative drive paths so that it can run on another pc?

i have also been having problem with the flash cs3 , but i i have found a solution to the problem of linking to a page.

(AS3)
instance-name-goes-here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, link);

function link(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var R:String = “name.html”;
var G = new URLRequest(R);
navigateToURL(G,”_blank”);

}

Is it possible to run the url, but never actually open a window of any kind? I’m trying to run a URL to increment a poll in a database and I don’t actually want to open a page in a browser…

Thanks!

Thanks!
Just what I needed. I get confused switching from AS2 to AS3 simple things link linking a URL seem to have changed.

Do you have an external .as file associated with your SWF file (i.e. Main.as)? If so then you may have to delete the :void statement after your function. OR add the script to your .as file and set your function to ‘private function’

Thank you so much.

As a side point, why is it that everytime I need to use flash I seem to have to relearn how to use it ? Think I might just learn HTML5 and say goodbye to flash for ever…

Actionscript 3.0 code is definitely a lot more sensible and organized than its predecessor… Although it does longer to write codes in some cases, its easier to learn…

Alexandre de Oliveira, you’re the best for addressing the “1120: Access of undefined property … ” problem.

For people with this problem see post #92.
