Flash getURL help

3 New Member
Hi: I've read some of the answers to questions asked about ActionScript but I could not find one about the issue I am having. I am taking a class online and currently working with Flash. I am trying to Publish a movie that when finished rolling should display my welcome page. However, I can't figure out how to do this. This is the info. my teacher gave: getURL("welcome _screen.htm","_ self"); I've checked to make sure that both the Flash file and the welcome file are in the same location on my C drive. I don't understand codes so can't figure out why my welcome page will not open. The movie justs keep playing. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you very much.

Hi: Right now I'm just trying to preview it before publishing to a webpage. I'm selecting the "getURL" from the Action frame menu. I'm not sure if I am embedding the movie -- this wasn't mentioned in the notes. I've tried adding "at end" but unclear as to if this is correct or where to place appropriately. Do I need to perform this action with the .swf file rather than the .fla file? Thanks again.

Hi: This is the error message I am getting whenever I try to preview the movie:

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.

Help!

Thanks.

getURL

http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Uniform_Resourc e_Locator

so you need a URL like this:
http://www.somewhere.c om/yourpage.html

or another way, install XAMPP then you can have path like this
http://localhost/yourpage.html

Hope that help

Uh no he does not need to install some weak ass web server onto his local network or pc. And nor do you need to add the http there. I am not as actionscript saavy as I used to be but in my experience this is where new flash devs hit the first speed bump and it's one of two things, you aren't closing your script correctly which produces something like this in your compiler "expected a ',' or ')' " and the other is trying to use fla source with get. Use an swf file and ignore the comment that you need to install xammp or a webserver app that's nonsense. Still have issues hit me up via email I don't do blogs.

When working on a web site for my employer, I uncovered what appears to be an undocumented bug in Internet Explorer 5 & 6 for Windows in regard to a (perhaps uncommon?) integration of Flash scripting and CSS2 background imagery. I am hoping that someone out there can help me identify what steps I might take to remedy this situation. Perhaps it is something that Macromedia might be able to do something about, since getting IE fixed is...

I am developing an HTML javascript application and I want to preserve state in a way that can be book-marked. I chose HTML anchors as a means of preserving state.

Hi, I'm modifying a template (flash menu with html pages), when you click on the flash menu (about us for example) the corresponding html page is displayed, and the "about us" flash menu is highlighted.

I have a viewable area in a SWFcalled box_mc on frame1 that is 300x100 until a rollOver event when it appears to become 300x274 because it has advanced to frame2 I want my actionscript to instruct a div that is 300x100pixels with overflow hidden to expand to a div that is 300x274 in response to the rollOver event.

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
