opening a web page 1

[marty321]

Hello all,

Can anyone tell how i can open a webpage using a flash button
within director, the normal actionscript attached to the button

on (release) {
getURL("

http://www.website.com","_blank");

}

doesnt work!

Any help would be great.

Use "lingo:" (or "event:") as a getURL parameter to send a command from embedded Flash to hosting Director.
--
// Flash
on (release){
getURL("lingo:goToURL(1)")
}

-- Director Movie script
on goToURL arg
case arg of
1: tURL = "

http://www.website.com"

2: tURL = "

http://www.someOtherSite.com"

end case
baOpenURL(tURL , "normal")
end goToURL

If you're creating a Shockwave movie, use "goToNetPage" instead of BuddyAPI openURL command.
