Rollover button with hyperlink??

Oct 10th, 2009

Hello everyone!
I'm making some rollover buttons in flash, and I could use some help. I have this button that has text on it e.g home, contact and stuff like that, and I would like to make this text an hyperlink. I couldn't find a tutorial for this

.
Could you give me a hint, because I'm a bit stuck and deadline is near

I'll attach the looks of the button (in OVER state).

P.s. I tried getURL but it doesn't work (or I didn't use it properly).
Thanks

Cheers!

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional with AS 3.0. Is that O.K.?

I assumed that your button name as homeBTN and add the code in the timeline actions.

 Help with Code Tags 
 Graphics and Multimedia Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
homeBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,TestURL);
 
function TestURL(e:MouseEvent):void
{
	var serverpath:String="http://www.yahoomail.com";
	var urlrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(serverpath);
	navigateToURL(urlrequest,"_self");
}
homeBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,TestURL);

function TestURL(e:MouseEvent):void
{
	var serverpath:String="http://www.yahoomail.com";
	var urlrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(serverpath);
	navigateToURL(urlrequest,"_self");
}

You can use _blank instead of _self to open in new window.

Hope this helps!

Thanks & Regards,

Oh, I noticed one thing - _self doesn't work in my case, only _blank, i tried _parent and _top also but only _blank seems to work, any ideas why??
