html code 2

[t5pete]

I've got my site all ready to go, I have all my buttons set to pick the appropriate files (filename.htm). Is this the right command to type in under get url action? The files aren't linking. I had it working once this way, but it was through dreamweaver.
Thanks,
T5

Have you tried the full address?
getURL("

http://www.yourserver.com/path/your.htm",

"_self"

...Or "_blank" as the second parameter, if you want to open your links in a new window, rather than the one where your movie is embedded.

in the getURL window, make sure you type the correct path

../ will take you back a folder.

the file name should be .html or .htm depending on how you have them named.

Also specify if it should load in "self" or "blank"

Posting at the same time?

Permits me to correct my post... There shouldn't be that extra ";" between the 2 parameters.

Have you tried the full address?

getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/path/your.htm",[/URL] "_self");

...Or "_blank" as the second parameter, if you want to open your links in a new window, rather than the one where your movie is embedded.

What do I enter where it says path? I'm illiterate when it comes to code.
thanks again

Nothing, if you don't have any other folders on your server, and the called html is in the main directory.

Try:

getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/your.htm",[/URL] "_self");

if your html was located in a folder called Flashfiles, you would use:

getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/Flashfiles/your.htm",[/URL] "_self");

Regards,
And might I be blessed with your vote!

Thanks newbie, I figured it out. I'll have it up in no time. I wanna give you a vote: how do I give you a vote? This site is confusing. One more problem, after I've got this whole site working for my dumb brother, do I keep the files where they are? If I give the files to him the path will be lost. But, he wants to use his server space to put it on the web.
Thanks again,

To vote just click on the link below my signature in any of my posts in this thread, and then confirm your vote in the other window that comes up! Yes it is somewhat confusing, and they keep changing it for whatever stu... reason!

Just agree on the same folders' names and paths on your respective sites, so that your brother transferring the files to his site has the same setup, at least for those files!

The site is working great except for a couple problems. A couple of the pages keep repeating when I click on the button to go to another page. I have to double click to make them work. Also what's the code for an email button?The entire site is made in Flash if that's any help. OldNewbie, I still can't find a place to vote for you!!!
THanks again

use the getURL as you did above only put in

mailto:youremailaddress@whatever.com

it would look like this:

getURL("mailto:youremailaddress@whatever.com", "" Ya' Gotta Love It!
