-
Step 1
Create a button in Flash.
-
Step 2
Name your Flash button so that your button can later be referenced in the ActionScript.
-
Step 3
Open up your Actions window. This can be done using the F9 key.
-
Step 4
Create a function for your link. It should look like this:function LinkedButton(event:MouseEvent):void{}Make sure to note the capitalization and the curly brackets.
-
Step 5
Put in the information for your link inside the two curly brackets. To do this, you must first create a new variable and a URL request: var yourVariable:URLRequest = new URLRequest("your URL").
-
Step 6
Add one more line inside your curly brackets. It calls up your variable and tells the ActionScript to navigate to the URL you requested. It looks like this: navigateToURL(yourVariable, "_blank"). The "_blank" command will open your link in a new window and is optional.
-
Step 7
Link your function to your button by adding an event handler. It should look like this: your_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LinkedButton);
-
Step 8
Verify your final ActionScript looks like this: function LinkedButton(event:MouseEvent):void{ var yourVariable:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Your URL goes here") navigateToURL(yourVariable) }your_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LinkedButton);
