Well basically im making the navibar on flash, and previewing it on the SWF player, and it links to websites fine. However, once it is put onto the site via dreamweaver, it doesn't direct anywhere. Oh I've tried _parent and _top by the way. No luck =/

It works, it just opens in a new tab. I want it to open in the same page.

Still doesn't work =/ It works fine when I publish it in SWF but when its in a webpage it just doesn't want to work.

Hey, I'm having some problems with some actionscript. I was wondering if someone could help me. Basically i'm making a navigation bar on flash, with buttons linking to different pages on a website. The Flash will be placed on the website, but the problem is, it opens the pages in a new tab under the _blank code and since I want it to open in the same window, replaced it with _self.
This is the script I am using:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_self");
}
Basically, the link doesn't work. I can push the button but it doesn't change the page. I think that it's because it's not actually set to ridirect the window, which would explain why _blank works, but not _self.

If anyone can make any sence of that, please help.

Hi guys, I need some AS help for a designer I'm making for my website. It's a t-shirt designer and basically to buy a customised item, the user must upload a screenshot of their designed item.

Does anybody know any ActionScript that i could put on a button, and when clicked, would save the current frame (a picture of their design) to their computer. Basically like screenshotting the design and saving it.

Thanks

Sorry again.

Here are some of my enteries. Sorry about the double posts, I forgot the deadline was today.

Yeah, i'm guessing your using the subselection tool. Use the black one (selection tool).
Another idea would be to draw your background on 1 layer, lock the layer. Then draw the character on 1 layer, lock the layer. And then draw the items on a different layer.

Its been along time since ive been here, and i have a problem, I want to make a football movie. wondering what i should use, i dont know what to use. Sprites, Freehand(which im really bad at) or any other thing, what would you use if you were me?

I think sprites would be a good idea because they're easy to animate...and most of them are in weird poses that could work as football poses =P Other than that, claymation is a good idea, just get cheap clay from an art store.

Damn...i tried the exact code before but it was the absence of a capital F that was the problem. I guess i should've figured that out. Thanks alot for that XD I'll try not to be such a dumb ass in the future.

Well, I'm in the middle of doing a dressup game and i have a layer, with a 'hair' movie clip. Inside that MC are about 15 styles and inside each style is 6 colours. I made a button on the stage to make the 'hair' movie clip (instance name: hairmain) advance into the next style. The code i added was:

on (release) {
_root.hairmain.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Basically, i want to change the gotoandplay(2); [which works] to the nextframe function. I have tried changing it simply from gotoandplay(2) to nextframe but it doesn't work. Does anybody know the right script? Thanks alot.

Overview: want to change _root.hairmain.gotoAndPlay(2); to the next frame function.

Deffinatley with the V-Cam, It looks more interesting, even with the poor background =P

Thanks alot guys =]

Well I figured out the issue. The code was inside the character MC so it would gotoandplay the second frame of the character...which didnt exist. So, does anybody know how i could get the code...inside the MC, to play a an animation outside of the MC?

So really, as long as your good at it...like...really good, then theres a chance of fame from flash. Well...i guess you should hope so from the price tag.
But alot of people earn money from flash...website designers...graphic designers (although they tend to stick to photoshop, fireworks etc)...animators. Also, theres always the competitions on NG for the chance to win money. I guess it depends on your personal talent whether or not you can earn money from flash.

Hmm it had a good concept and seemed pretty origional, however it could be better.
Try making a better menu setup...like...preloader>Main menu (instructions & play), rather than having it pretty messed up. Another idea would be to show the mouse, and then on the level, click a start button (mouse dissapears) and then when it touches the end area the mouse is visable again, and the same for the next levels. I think it could be a good game if you continue it and make the improvements.
Good luck

I did some weapon designs...i have a thing for grossley oversized weapons for small characters at the moment xD

Just incase the picture doesn't work.

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of making a 'Security 2' style game and I'm having some trouble with the AS.
The part of the script that is the issue is (the full script was way too long):

if ((_root.cop.hitTest(_x, _y+radius, true)) or (_root.cop.hitTest(_x, _y-radius, true)) or (_root.cop.hitTest(_x+radius, _y, true)) or (_root.cop.hitTest(_x-radius, _y, true))) {
_x = 19.9;
_y = 63.2;
}
}

Anyway basically, i wanted to change the reset veriables which send my character to:
_x=19.9; _y=63.2;
to make it go to and play another frame in the scene (so when he is seen by the 'cop', instead of being relocated to the beginning...gets shot in the face at a different frame/scene.

I tried replacing _x and _y with the gotoandplay function but i had no luck.
Anyway, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
