link button to URL - google style!

[meloMO]

hey, google tells an advertiser to use the following code:


on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");
}
}

this way it gives me a compiling error. so i rewrote at little bit. no worki worki anyway! well, just have a look yourself.



lol, btw, while we're on it. how can i make the sound to continue playing when you're off the button with the mouse, while it wont play multiple times when you move over it again?

i rewrote the code to this, but it's not working:

invisible_btn.onRelease = function(){
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http://www.google.com") {
getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");
};
};

Hello meloMO (again).

I will look at your sample upload and see what I can do for you.
Just to confirm; you want the background sound to continue playing unless the button that turns off the sound is clicked?

Firstly, if you want the sound to still play out, then simply remove the following code from the Script:

invisible_btn.onRollOut = function(){
snd1.stop();
};


If you want the button to open up a new page if clicked, then add this code in the Action of the button.

on (release){
getURL("http://www.actionscript.org/", "_blank")
}


Though this still works, the experts most likely have a far cleaner approach for you.

Cheers.

hey, thanks for your reply. when i just remove that stop part, the sound will play multiple times at once when you go over the button again and again. you see? is there any easy way to solve this?

and well, the problem about the linking part is that google tells me to do it this way:

on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");
}
}

it's not working though :(
