Problem with links out?

[TJ]

Hi all,

When I test my flash game in MMF2 my html links work fine. As soon as the game is live on a portal none of them work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

What browser are you using?

You need to use the Flash URL extension.


The way to use it (a bit tricky) is as follows:

+Mouse pointer is over ACTIVE -> Set URL ("http://google.com"), Add Listener ( )

+NEGATE +Mouse pointer is over ACTIVE -> Remove Listener ( )

+Flash URL(On Click handler) -> Remove Listener ( )


That way when you click on ACTIVE it will open the URL in a new window.

It's the same in all browsers.

orugo, could you please clarify for me? I have a flash object, and Iin event editor saying 'Open URL > http://www.google.com'. It works in the editor, but not online.

I can see anywhere anything to do with Set URL or Add Listener...

Thanks for bearing with me!

The Flash object that comes with MMF2 is not reliable to get the task done, so get this extension: http://clickteam.info/sl/extensions/FlashUrl.zip

You gotta unzip the files inside your MMF2 installation folder keeping the folder structure from the zip file, open zip file, select all folders and drag and drop into your MMF2 folder.

Now open MMF2 and a new object (extension) will be there, it's Flash URL, add it to your frame.

Now you can add the add listener events

A, shoulda read more carefully, sorry. Working now, so I can go claim a sponsorship :-)

Ooh, you're working on a game for sponsorship? That's cool! It's a good way to learn what makes a good game and what doesn't, from what I've heard. Obviously, it's also a good way to make money. Some game sponsorship's have made thousands of dollars. I wish you luck! (Good luck, to be exact.)

Now, does anyone know how I can play include and play the armor games logo rather than having to call it from a URL?

And how much is good money for a sponsorship?

...how much is good money for a sponsorship?

How much money?

The amount of money involved in a sponsorship varies a lot, depending on the details of the license, the amount of work needed on the part of the developer, the level of exclusivity for the sponsor - and of course the quality of the game.There is a general belief that a traditional exclusive license may range between $100 and $500, perhaps even hitting $1000 for the right game. These numbers aren't wrong, but they might be low: a great game can easily bring $5000 to $7000 for an exclusive license.

I think this will answer your question quite well. If you need to see the page that is from, go here.

You can get the Armor Games logo from here, so you can copy the frame and paste it into your project: http://community.clickteam.com/showthread.php?t=61974&highlight=armor+games

There are exclusive sponsorships, primary and non-exclusive (AKA site-locks) so it all depends. site-locks are usually cheap, something in the US$200-$500 range. Primary sponsorships vary a lot, going from $500 to thousands for a solid game. Exclusive sponsorships are usually better paid. If you are going for an exclusive or primary sponsorship your game must be unpublished.
