Flash button click-to URL

Maybe if I did Flash stuff more often, I wouldn’t always forget this.

If you have a button in flash that you want to click to a web URL, simply right click the object and click “convert to symbol”. Choose button and name it if you’re so inclined.

Next, with your button selected, go to the top nav bar and highlight “Window” then select “Behaviors”.

Select “+” and then “Web” – “Go to Webpage”.

Type in the URL and set your Open in command.

Click OK and you are set.

Search Box

This is the search box that I always use. It has >> for the button and a value of “Search…” that disappears when clicked.

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://mrcomplain.com/">
<div><input type="text" value="Search" onclick="value=''" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value=">>" />
div>
form>

You can then position the search form using CSS. The following is an example, but you will obviously need to change the information contained therein to make it fit on your page -

#searchform {
	position: absolute;
	top: 231px;
	left: 50%;
	margin-left: -250px;
	padding: 5px 3px;
	}

#searchform #s {
	width: 135px;
	padding: 2px;
	}

#searchsubmit {
	padding: 1px;
	}
