November 3, 2008 – 4:45 pm 30,079 views

When you create Flash movie using Sothink SWF Quicker, you can add URL link for buttons.

Example:

Step1: Draw a rectangle on the stage.

 

Step2: Right-click the button, and choose “Convert to Symbol” in the context menu. In the popup “Convert to Symbol” window, choose “Button” and click “OK”.

 

Step3: Choose this button on the stage and go to the Action panel, input:

on(release)
{
getURL(”http://www.sothink.com”);
}

 

Step4: In preview mode, when you click on the button, the http://www.sothink.com page is opened. 
You can change the URL address to whatever you like.

  2. I keep getting a syntax error when I try to add a link to my button. The error says:

    ERROR: Scene 1, Layer1, Frame 1, Instance of ‘Symbol 2′, Line 3: Syntax error.
    getURL(

    Symbol 2 is the actual button itself. I did exactly what you said to do…any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

  3. Dear Cyndi,

    Did you copy the following ActionScript to your project from this blog?

    on(release)
    {
    getURL(”http://www.sothink.com”);
    }

    I suggest you not to do so. Please new a Quicker project, and repeat to do the above step1 and 2 again, and in the step3, please write down the above ActionScript manually in the Action panel.

    Just try again, you will find this time is OK :)

  17. I did exactly as you said, only not on a rectangle but on an image I imported and converted to a button, and it doesn’t work.

    When I preview the file, nothing happens when I press it (though it does show the “hand” icon as if it’s linkable).

    What could be the problem?
