Hi all,
How can I use an onClick function in a Flash movie? I was thinking that I could just use image thumbnails in the movie and use a window-open event (if ActionScript even suppports this) to open the image in a new window when the image thumbnail is clicked. Of course, I would not be doing this for all images. I think this is a viable alternative to storing the full size image in the Flash library because I believe it would help keep the movie size down considerably.
Thanks in advance,

Well, I usually use (once again) the behaviors panel. For buttons, there's a Click event. For most other things, use the Release event.
Of course, you can skip the Behaviors Panel if you know ActionScript.
In the ActionScript for the object, I think it looks something like this:
on(release) {
//the action you want to occur, such as "Go to Web Page"
}
HTH,

Snib,
I hear ya. I need to use an event that'll open a web page in a new window, though. How can I do this?

Like I posted in the FAQ, you can run a JavaScript. Just put this in the Go to Web Page text box:
javascript:window.open('your_popup.php','flashPopWin')
Put the page you want to pop up where I entered "your_popup.php". Don't put a ';' at the end because Flash doesn't except ';' as a valid Web Address character.
Let me know if there is more to the problem.
