Very simple using a graphic object. Draw out your graphic item and give it a color or import some content into it, or create a graphic button from the Item Actions menu. With the object selected go to the url menu at the bottom of the Freeway window and either select an existing url from the list, or select an external url. That’s it.

Hi chuckamuck.

My question is regarding code writing Actions.

I’m sorry, I see now my question wasn’t clear. I need help with how to add code that makes a button appear in the action interface that links to a url.

OK sorted it. I guess it was late and this morning I worked it out pretty quickly.

Thanks anyway and best wishes.

Glad you got it sorted. For the record, the following function call will open the specified URL in the default web browser:

fwLaunchURL('http://www.softpress.com/');

That can go inside a function, or directly in the onclick event handler, which will look like this:

<action-button name="foo" title="My Button Title" onclick="doSomething()" />

So, all together you could have:

<action name="com.mycompany.actionName" title="My Action Title">
	<action-button name="foo" title="My Button Title" onclick="doSomething()" />
	<action-javascript>
		function doSomething() 
		{
			// Open the specified URL in the default web browser
			fwLaunchURL('http://www.softpress.com/');
		}
	</action-javascript>
</action>

My mistake, but it frequently happens that users post questions in here not related to action writing, and it was not obvious from your post that was your intent.

Hey, no prbs at all. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.

I think the Freeway community is one of it’s best assets.

Thanks again.
