If then else

[blues007]

Can I use if then else in something like this:

If(onrelease)then
getURL("

http://someSite")

else
play();

I mean: if I click the button it opens an URL or else it rolls the rest of the movie

this could be done but only if you set a time limit within which the button has to be clicked

if Button clicked within 5 sec
then
getUrl
else
play on

No you wouldn't want to do that anyway. Flash movies "Play" by default. So you would just do something like this...

on(release){
    getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://somesite");[/URL]
    _level0.stop();
}

Or better yet would be to place the code on the main timeline...

buttonInstanceName.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://somesite");[/URL]
    stop();
}

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

The thing is I have this button that is an image that expands it's size "onRollover" and returns to the normal size "onRollout". Plus I want it to have a link when I click on it but if I don't click on it (when it reaches the bigger size) it returns to normal size. I'll try your sugestions and I thank you very much.

And the button's movie hast a stop(); in the frame where it reaches it's maximum size so I must put a play(); anywhere so it goes on playing wether I rollOut or click.

The problem is not in the code. The code works fine when I open the .swf it in the player:

on(rollOut){
play(); /it plays on the rest of the clip
}
on(release){
getURL("

http://www.yahoo.com");

/it gets this URL when I click it
}

...but it doesn't run in my browser!(latest IE) What can this be?
