Use clickTag with AS3 clip

(2008-09-18 - views: 587)

Q: How should the clickTag be applied on a ActionScript 3.0 clip ?
A: You need to specify the URL of the page to the Flash clip embedded into the HTML, through FlashVars. The name of the parameter is usually clickTag. The FlashVars parameters are placed in a list of parameters on the root object.

In your Flash clip, all you have to do is create a button that will open the desired page when clicked and assign the actions that will open the page. The button can be a simple transparent clip that covers the entire surface of your Flash movie. If the button instance name is "buttonClip" and the FlashVars parameter name is "clickTag", then the code to apply the clickTag functionality is this one:

var paramList:Object = this.root.loaderInfo.parameters;

buttonClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openURL);

function openURL(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(paramList["clickTag"]);
    navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
}

Free Trial Versions

The trial versions do have a major limitation. They will ONLY run into debugger flash player versions, such as the Flash IDE player and the activeX FP used by developers.

Switch from Free Trial version to Full version.

You can switch from Trial to Full versions in a blink of an eye.
See this tutorial in order to find out how.
