Even with the most basic flash webpage, you should at least know how to open a new window using ActionScript. If you are no ActionScript master, it’s okay, as long as you can fumble your way through Flash itself. Go to “Windows” and then show the “Actions” pane. You can use either Simple or Advanced mode. I would start out using Simple Mode so that you can easily drag and drop functions to the code panel and get a feel for ActionScript syntax.
If you are familiar with JavaScript or even C++ syntax, you’ll definitely see some similarities here with your basic “if” statements, “while loops” and such. Okay… let’s get onto the new window.
First, let’s start with our event. You can add any button for starters, or graphic, whichever you choose. Next, add an action (you can right click and go to Actions there). For your event, you’ll handle this much like an HTML “onmouseover” or “onmousedown” attribute. The syntax for ActionScript is somewhat different.
on (release) {
}
Easy enough, right? Next, onto our new window.
on (release) {
getURL(“http://www.ezmofo.info”,”EZMOFO”);
}
Easy, easy stuff here. Try it out, kids, and as always… enjoy!
