AS3: Scripting OnClick GetURL? (Where’s GetURL)
Another big suprise for AS3 is the missing GetURL where we used to script it on buttons to open up url. However that was replaced in ActionScript 3.0. We use navigateToURL instead.
Just follow the example when scripting your button. Remember like in previous tutorials, you need to add an eventlistener to your button to attached a function to it.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | this.YourButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,openURL); function openURL(event: MouseEvent) { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.isgoodstuff.com"); navigateToURL(request); } |

How would I add that to this block? I keep getting an error;
onClipEvent (load)
{
num = 5;
this.title1.gotoAndStop(num);
this.title2.gotoAndStop(num);
this.title3.gotoAndStop(num);
this.title4.gotoAndStop(num);
}
on (rollOver)
{
if (_root.link != num)
{
_root.menu2["item" + num].gotoAndPlay(“scontact”);
this.gotoAndPlay(“scontact”);
} // end if
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
{
if (_root.link != num)
{
this.gotoAndPlay(“s2″);
_root.menu2["item" + num].gotoAndPlay(“s2″);
} // end if
}
on (release)
{
if (_root.link != num)
{
_root.link_prev = _root.link;
_parent["item" + _root.link].gotoAndPlay(“s2″);
_root.menu2["item" + _root.link].gotoAndPlay(“s2″);
_root.link = num;
} // end if

is because the script you are using is Actionscript 2.0. The ones im showing is Actionscript 3.0. The syntax and commands are all different. Thus, you get an error.

Why Give Me This Error ? The currently targeted Flash Player does not support the getURL action.
getURL(_root.link, “”);
The currently targeted Flash Player does not support the releaseOutside event. on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
The currently targeted Flash Player does not support the releaseOutside event. on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
