Hello,,

I have a flash (swf) file,, and it is not clickable,,
How to make it clickable using html or javascript? like <img> tag, when you add (href) attribute, it became clickable.


Any help please.

[kasic]

I dont understand what you mean 'not clickable' explain more specific, please

you mean that when you click onto flash thing then you go to some place else?

if so you need to draw a square all over the work area in Flash and then select this square (or what ever shape that can be depends on what shape have your flash file) press F8 and select Button. Double click on it and on hint (its the last field in button area) field move that square you draw into hint field leaving those three empty (double click on grey area to go back), as a result you'll get some kind of blue shape that presents button all over your flash file. Don't worry it's not visible in run time. if you want to add an action to this button right click on some kind of blue color and select action, try to locate GetURL, I can remeber where is it exacly and just put URL you desire.

hope this is it...

if you can access the fla file, or decompile the swf file, you could place this code in your flash file:

Code:

myimage.onRelease = function(){
  getURL("http://mywebsite.com/mypage", _blank);
};

this code assumes you have a background image, on which you can click, cause flash requires an object to click on, you can't just use the application itself. replace "myimage" by the name of the background image

_blank is the same as in html: opens a new window with the page in it.

you could use html as well:

Code:

<a href="http://mywebsite.com/mypage" target="blank" border="0">swf here</a>

this should work as well

I always wondered how to do this too... Always settled for adding an invisible button over top of the movie with this code snippet

Code:

on (release) {
	getURL("http://www.url.com", "_blank");
}

Thanks. But the key is swf file does not clickable. I do not know how to decompile swf file. Is any way to modify html or asp code to let this code clickable:

Code:

<a href="http://mywebsite.com/mypage" target="blank" border="0">
<OBJECT id="bannerFlash" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" "http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="600" ALIGN="" VIEWASTEXT>
			<PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="my.swf">
			<PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
			<PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#6666CC">
			<EMBED id="bannerFlash" src="my.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#6666CC" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="600" NAME="<%= strImage %>" ALIGN="right" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
		  </OBJECT>
		</a>

or let code:

Code:

<a href="http://mywebsite.com/mypage" target="blank" border="0"><img src="my.swf"></a>

works

Thanks a lot.

here are some links toswf decompilers:
http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/
http://www.swftools.com/tools-detail...ool=7672718848

you could download one of them, and convert your swf to an fla
than you can use a flash editor to add the getURL method

the sollution losse gave will work as well. create a new button, with transparent background and convert it to symbol (button) and name it. then place this code in the layer where the button is located:

Code:

mybutton.onRelease = function(){
  getURL("http://mywebsite.com/mypage", "_blank");
};

this should work. if you don't know how to edit and write actionscript, here are some tutorials:
http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials.shtml
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/a...ript_tutorial/
http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tu...use_drags.php3

if you search google, you'll find many more. if you need extra help, post it in the flash actionscript forum

Good Luck,
