Action panel 1

[keith903]

I am fairly new to flash(5) and am having problems understanding the actions panel.

One example, I have created a button which when clicked sends you to another web page. When I open the actions panel and look at the movie explorer tab I find the button and expand the tree to reveal the actions which includes the "get Url" line. If I want to change the address in this line how do I do it? I can highlight it and right click but the "edit in place" is greyed out. If I change to the "Object actions" tab it says "nothing selected" and if I click on the + button all selections are greyed out. (So I can't even add any new actions). It is probabally something stupid that I am not doing but if someone could poin me in the right direction I would be grateful.

What you hafta do, is make sue you are in the parent scene or movie clip where the buton exists. Now, right-click the button and select Actions. Now on the right-hand side double-click the geturl option and enter the site in the space.

Hope That Helps!! __________________________________

I made a mistake in the abov post. The geturl function will be on the left side of the action panel, not on the right.

Sorry about that!! __________________________________
