Flash Cs3 Making A Button That Opens A Movie In A New Window.

Recommended Posts

Hi guys I am totally new to flash I learned a tiny bit of it a few years back but I am trying to modify and template I purchased.I have a link already and I have seen online multiple tutorials on how to make a button and how to link it to URL. What I want to do is click on a "link" or button / clickable object and for a popup window to open with my showreel in it. It is already in flv format I have no idea how to set this up and I was hoping some Flash guru could help me. In dreamweaver I would bang this out in no time but flash is such a different animal, and action scripting geese its something else.

I am making a flash cs4 menu AS3, and when the code executes, it opens new browser window, which I do not want.

Here is the example:

myButton1.AddEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {Var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;);NavigateToURL(request);}

Flash will always open in a new browser window and will never open a movieclip window for you.If you want to work without browsers the you neeed to develop your flash using Flash AIR player which is similar to desktop application.But again that won't work on the web.
