Open URL not working in preview mode

sysads

Hi

I am new to GS. I have tried using the Open URL pro attribute and added my FB URL like this "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=(my games FB page url here)" but when i preview game and click on it, it does nothing. Is this meant to be so or am i doing something wrong.

Thanks

can you get rid of the timers?

when touch is pressed
open URL

sysads

I have removed it from timer, this is what I have now but still not working

Does the URL actually work when not used through the behavior? Perhaps its that simple...

sysads

Yep, the link works

Try just www.facebook.com and make sure it's not an expression, press remove expression and then type it. Also make sure there are no spaces at the beginning or end

Hi, could you explain what you mean by "make sure it's not an expression" and how do you remove expression. TBH, I thought this would just be a simple drag and drop, didn't realize it was going to be this complex

Can any developer assist with this feature?

It is simple. And you are having a whole bunch of developers help you. I just made a project that did what you wanted, and I was able to recreate your problem in two different ways: 1. if it is an expression it doesn't work or 2. if there is a space a the end of the link.

If you hit the little black e on the right of the behavior that makes it an expression.

I would post the project, but it uses a pro behavior and I am not allowed to.

Hi I am a little bit lost here. Where do you see the little e in the Open URL code? Thanks
