| |  | |
Hi, I've created a small piece of Flash for a client which will work as an ad
on external sites, with a clickthough link.
I've been asked to follow some simple instructions to create the link. My
Actionscript skills are pretty minimal, though. I need to send it along to
another agency, so don't have the luxury of being able to test if it works in
situ - I'd appreciate some help.
The instructions I've been given are:
"1. Select your button instance in the flash movie
2. Add mouse event On(release)
3. add get url command Get URL( )
4. Set URL to clickTAG (make sure this URL is an expression variable)
5. Set window target to _blank
Typical action code
On (release)
Get URL (clickTAG, window="_blank")
End On
It is essential that the clickTAG variable is set to be an expression"
Now, I've created a big 'invisible button' over the animation with:
on(release) {
getURL(clickTAG,"_blank");
}
Is that correct? Also, please let me know how I set the variable to be an
expression, and where that code should go.
Many thanks in advance, Reg |

| that looks like what they are saying but that only makes sense if clickTAG is defined elsewhere in your code. |

| that must be explained elsewhere or, more likely, that variable is passed to your application from somewhere. |
