Hi, The action on the m2 movieclip does not work, it will not launch a URL. I've posted a sample fla file here:
http://www.citogrid.com/v3/images/fla/whynot.fla all actionscript is in the first frame of the main timeline. Remember, I ONLY want the URL to be launched when clicked on the red box. Sequence should be: launch the swf, mouse over the blue box, see the red box, click the red box and a URL should launch. So the m2 movieclip should trigger the getURL, not the m1 movieclip. I agree with you, it should be simple, and I can do it, but I'd like to do it using only movieclips and no buttons. That's where I'm stuck :-) thanks, Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of a Sent: zondag 19 maart 2006 10:10 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working could you show us a sample of how you are coding this? it seems like a very simple thing..... and as it turns out, there is about 4 ways i could think of doing it right off the top of my head. whats not working? the link to the site? the rollover to frame 20? the more info you give us the easier it is to help.
