How do I link a flash movie (.swf) to a url?

Question

I read similar questions posted on here, but no one has actually posted how. I followed some of the suggested links but still no answer. Please answer my question if you actually know. Thanks.

Answer 1

I work with Flash files .fla and .swf on a daily basis. You're question isn't quite clear enough. I think I know what you are trying to do though. If you want a flash file to have a link in it, like when a user clicks the flash movie(.swf) then it goes to another web page. You need the source file (.fla) and you need to place a Button in the movie to make the link then recompile the .swf file.

Answer 2

definite this is quite properly a threat. for older version like flash 5, you write text textile in movie clip. you are able to eiher provide up that movie clip at end so person an click it or shop url written consistent so as that any time this is clicked, upload that on scene of .fla record and positioned link on it in action script upload url. then make swf record of that fla. and pastime performed. whilst you're using flash mx, once you write text textile it has given direct option to specify url. look in to homes at backside you will see text textile field to jot down url and objective. positioned this text in movie clip and picture clip in scene, export to swf and pastime performed.

Answer 3

You could just upload it, and put a url to the .swf, like
http://www.misslittle_2004/myflashmovie.swf

but it won't have the appropriate constraints. What is better is that when you make and publish the flash movie, it should make a .htm file that has the right embed command and settings. Upload both the .htm and the .swf, and then direct people to the .htm.

If you don't get a .htm, check your publishing settings.

Answer 4

To make a link inside a flash file, you have to have the FLA file in order to edit the movie, add a button and then put on the button some actionscript so when you click it it will jump to the URL you want.

on release(){
getURL(' theurlyouwanttolink ');
}

If you want a movie to be a link try wrap the movie tags with the HTML tags.

the last part is not recommendable... and looks not so good.

Hope this helps.
