Background Image Link

13 Feb 2013, 11:00

Heeeeeeello!!! :)

First of all I need to say it again: YOU GUYS DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB WITH THIS! ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW MOBILE SECTION! BEAUTIFUL!

Now :)
I would like to see if it's possible to ad in the Admin an option to link a background image to something, to a website or a youtube video.
I was playing around in the Admin and I was looking at the code... but I am not good in the sense that I don't really know what to do. I have an idea... but I don't want to mess it up.
Here's what's in my mind:

So, Thank you in advance! Once again: GREAT JOB! WELL DONE! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

I think you got the idea ... There are 3x backgrounds, and you can layer elements on top of each other ... Does it not work for you? May I see a link?

Hi!

That was just Photoshop :) I wish I was able to do it... As I said I would mess with the code... but I don't know what I'm doing :)
Here's my wife's website: I made her one and I would like people to click on my logo and go to my website.

Thank you!!!
Whenever you need a testimonial I can make even a video one :) I just love what you did!

It seems you have sorted the background already. Unfortunately, there is no way of setting a link on the background directly from Imagevue ... (after all, a background is just that a background). However, you could achieve this by other means:

# Do you have Adobe Flash? You could make a button in SWF on the logo, and then export as SWF and use as background.

# Another option, is to skip the background setting entirely, and instead add a custom overlaying HTML element with the logo/button. The only thing is that the button will not be visible in fullscreen mode (since it is not part of the SWF that goes fullscreen).

I can give you a quick tutorial, but it requires that you can create a movieClip at least. Simply add your button/logo (import jpg if you need), select it and "convert to movieclip". Give it an instance name "mybutton". Then, select the frame where you added the clip, and in the actionscript editor, add this:
Code
mybutton.onPress {
getURL("http://linkbehere.com", "_blank");
}
