open up webpage from Director via a Flash swf

[zickler]

I have a CD Rom/Web Project
I have a Flash swf file called introduction.swf, at the end of this file there is a button that has on(release){
getURL("index.html");{ this opens up a website html file.
It works fine just linking from the swf to the webpage but when I put the introduction.swf into Director it doesn't open up the webpage anymore

Do I need to put some lingo with the introduction.swf in the Director file ? I would be very grateful of any assistance

Thansk in advance

John

You can use getURL("lingo:someLingoScript") to let the SWF to fire the Lingo script:
//
on (press) {
getURL("lingo:gotoNetPage(\"index.html\")");
}

Hi Kenneth,

Sincere thanks for your posting on the Flash/Director query the other day, it has worked fine. I have one further query if it is possible for you to help me with I have a second button in the flash swf which opens a second website but the index.htm for that is within a folder called 508, I have tried many combinations but I can't seem to get the path right. So just to recap - on the root I have index.html which opens with the solution you gave me above and also a folder called 508 which contains an index.htm file for the second website this is the one that I want to get to. Again, I very much appreciate your assistance.

Regards

John

Try:
//
on (press) {
getURL("lingo:gotoNetPage(\"508\\index.html\")");
}
