[FMX] hhttp is not a registered protocol

[ahayneshts]

Anyone ever received this message after using the "on (release)" and "getURL" scripts for a button hyperlink? You would think I had a typo somewhere, but I don't see one. Every button hyperlink produces this message then goes to the intended page after clicking "OK". Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am using Flash MX if that helps.

Will do as soon as I get back to my home PC ... suffering at my day job right now :puzzled:

I hope your title is a typo as hhttp isn't a protocol...lol. It's just 1 'h'.

Otherwise I don't know what your problem might be.

Did you encase the URL in quotes (as it has to be a string)?

I hope your title is a typo as hhttp isn't a protocol...lol.

The title (hhttp is not a registered protocol) is the warning/error message I get when I clcik on any button I used the on (release) and getURL scripts on. The URL is not mistyped in the AS, but I will post the actual code when I get home this afternoon. I am new at FMX so maybe I just missed something obvious.

Interesting footnote to make things more confusing. I had been getting this error when testing the published site containg the swf file in Mozilla Firefox. I just now pulled it up in IE and got no error messages. Go figure.

Whew...couldn't get to Kirupa for a while. Ok here's the AS for one of the buttons. The others are same AS, but with different URL's. Keep in mind it seems to work in IE but I get the warning message in Mozilla Firefox...Flash/Firefox compatability issue I guess, but just in case here's the AS...


on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.web-page-development.com/templates.html", "_self");
}

hmmm .... maybe I need an update. I had the problem here and at my office. What version are you running? It could just be me. If it is weird and unexplained...it will happen to me :whistle:

[rhamej]

version 1.0.6

version 1.0.6

Same here. ??? Guess I'll search through some Firefox forums and see if anyonelse has this problem. Thanks everyone for your willingness to assist. Being new to Flash, I am glad I found this forum.

:*( Well it was my screw up. I had some extraneous unneeded action script buried in one of the frames of my FLA and yes it was typed hhttp. Not sure how I got the code where it was; must have been playing around. Anyway, deleted the AS from that frame and it works fine. Thanks everyone for your interest and input :thumb2: You guys were great!
