I have a .fla file, and I have a trial version of macromedia flash, there is a menu button in the .fla file that link to a url, I want change the url, it's a simple thing, but I don't have experience in using flash, how can can I do that?

Thanks

Look for a getURL action...

If it's the one that links to the current url, then change the url.

I can't find there is a button has a geturl action that specified the URL, how to get to there ?


Thanks

Post a link to this .fla, zipped up and in MX only format, not MX2004... I'll check it out.

Sorry oldnewbie, I'm not allowed to post this file.

I opened the file, what I see is just a image , there are supposed to have some menu buttons there, but not, do anybody know there are some tricks here?

Open up the Movie Explorer under window and look for a getURL... Best I can do, if you won't post the .fla or mail it to me...

Thanks oldnewbie! I'm exciting that I can see the geturl()
and the url, but I can't edit it! how can edit it?

Thanks.

Well in what symbol is it? Double-click the symbol header in the Movie Explorer, it should bring up the symbol in edit mode... If you see small "a"'s on the timeline, right-click them and select Actions... If you're lucky & find the getURL inside, then you can change it for your new url, if not, the code may be on the symbol itself, that would be a little harder to explain if you're not familiar with Flash...

In the movie explorer, I can see following structure:

Scene1
+ action for frame1
+ action for frame2
...
- sub customers login b
- actions for sub customers login b

on(release) {
getURL ("customerlogin.html", "_parent");
}
+ ....

Now I can change the url, but I don't know how to change the menu caption. Can anybody tell me how to do that?

Many thanks!

Not if you don't post the code or attach your .fla!
