Flash has been tripping on me a lot for the past weeks, and this is starting to get frustrating.

Now I have a linking problem in my signature flash. Could all of you click on the flash in my signature and see if it brings you to the collab page?

Code:

on(release){

geturl("http://www.stickpageportal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84283");

}

I put it on a button that covers the whole app on the main timeline.

I'm using AS 2.0 in flash 8 with windows xp on a ****ing Gateway desktop computer.

Any help available? Code wrong? Flash player error possible?

EDIT: It seems when I test the movie not embedded on the internet, it works perfectly. When I play it as a lone flash in flash player, I get a macromedia security window pop up that says:

Macromedia has stopped a potentially unsafe operation

The following local application on your computer or network:
(file location of my swf)

is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled location:
www.stickpageportal.com

To let this application communicate with the internet, click settings.
You must restart the application after changing your settings.

Now how do I make it so everyone can use this? If I alter my settings, will this allow everyone else to use it?

thats just on your swf

im pretty sure if you host it, its fine.

actualy im sure just host it.

edit: i actualy read lol-

yeah if you host it im like 99% sure everyone should be able to use it.

editx2: dude btw the link works.

Whenever I want to link some thing I just put an invisible button over the entire swf and use the behaviors tab to add the link.

That happens to me. It's perfectly normal, and it shouldn't happen when you put it in your siggeh.

It doesn't link in your sig right now on my computer, I'm pretty sure that behaviors work the best for links, though.

Behaviors? What the **** are they?

Its a tab that can do some simple coding for you just select your button [I put a transparent one above my entire stage when I want to link like you are doing] then open the behaviors tab [you may need to go into the drop down menu to find it] then press the green + just like the filters tab, select web page, type in the address you want to go to, change the _self to _blank and press OK. Now you're done.

on(release){

geturl("http://www.stickpageportal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84283", "_blank");

}

you could try that. I think the reason it isn't working is because you haven't told the flash where to open it. the _blank I added tell it to open the link in a new window/ tab or w/e. If it still doesn't work I'm not sure what's wrong.

edit: lol I didn't even read Rather Cheesy's post, sorry.

Great. I'll change it when I get home later. :3 Thanks!
