// here is the main swf code

fscommand("allowscale", false);
fscommand("trapallkeys", true);
MovieClip.prototype.acc = 3.9;
MovieClip.prototype.smorz = 1.22;
// ACTION FOR THE BUTTON

myMenu = _root["menu"+i];
//the line blow will apply the appropriate name
//variable to each duplicated clip
trace (i+" : "+loadswf[i])
_root["menu"+i].myLoadSWF = loadswf[i];
myMenu.mov.txt = nomi[i];
myMenu.attachMovie(loghi[i], "logo"+i, (5000+i));
myLogo = eval("_root.menu"+i+".logo"+i);
myLogo._x = -76;
newColor = new getColor(myMenu);
}
_root.menu0.attachMovie("cubo", "cubo", (7000+1));
_root.menu0.cubo._x = -76;
// coloro i menu in modo differente
function getColor(what) {
inizio += (255/nomi.length)/3;
colore = new Color(eval(what));
alex = new Object();
alex = colore.getTransform();
alex.rb += inizio;
alex.gb += inizio;
alex.bb += inizio;
colore.setTransform(alex);
}

Animated Menu Button Link - HELP
So, I take the next step from basic navigation and build out an animated nav bar -- nothing too fancy, just a fly-out menu of buttons -- which I built from someone's tutorial. I turned out fine, but I can't seem to make the buttons link.

At first I had multiple scenes, but I read in the forums that scenes are bad -- so I ditched the scenes. I also moved from having the action on the button instance in the MC to have the actions on a frame in the main scene. Again, nothing fancy, it works for a stationary button I put in the main scene (see sample).


Code:
Menu_mc.Button_btn.onRelease = function (){gotoAndPlay("Scene1", 10);
}
I'm guessing that since the button is sitting in a MC, that I somehow need to target the main scene, but I can't figure out how to do this. I've been fiddling around with this thing, and can't get it to work. Help!

Thank you.

Dynamic Menu Text Box And Button Link
hi guys,

i am just wondering if it were possible to have a button pull in text from a dynamic text box in a set X & Y coordinate? i want to change this fla to read the text above the buttons. eg, if the label was the same as a keyframe label, the button would tell the flash to go to the said label. i figure the button would have to work out where on the stage it was, then check to see if any text box's were in the same coordinate and then use the text within as part of a script, eg _root.gotoAndPlay.{FRAME LABEL NAME PULLED FROM TEXT BOX}

i hope this makes some kind of sense. the whole point is i would like to have the menu pull in the data from a database as part of a full content managed flash website.

all help most welcome.

Rephrased Title: HELP, PLEASE-button 'down' Then 'up' In Drop Menu Link Area
I'm sorry for repeating the post, I just thought that the title might have confused everyone!

Hi,

The drop down menu I'm referring to is located in the main movie. The menu is a movie clip with the buttons inside and I have each button as 'track as menu item' in the properties. The buttons are linked to external swfs that load into an empty movie clip on the main stage. Everything loads perfectly no problem. The problem is that I can't seem to figure out the right code to put on the sub-menu items/buttons in the drop down menu to show the 'down' state when the corresponding movie is loaded (i.e., about-main button, philosophy [menu item], philosophy movie loaded). Then get it to go back to the 'up' state when another button is pressed in the same drop area part of the menu? I hope I explained myself clear enough without confusing anyone!

I would appreciate any help - I think I'm going to lose my mind - this is driving me crazy!!

Thanks - Alleen

Button Link Inside Movie Clip Link To Slide #
First let me say I am a very new to ActionScript and Flash, but have a pretty good understanding of the web and a basic understanding of object oriented scripts from CSS and a few other languages.

I have a navigation menu which is a movie clip containing buttons inside it and have a slide presentation as my main content. I am trying to make the buttons link to a specific slide # in a different part of my flash presentation.

You can see the page here: http://brhpc.ericlevay.com

The nav menu is a downloaded source and the slide show is the default canned one from the Flash templates directory.

I was hoping to use the gotoandStop (slide#) to make the connection between the nav button and the slide but it does not do anything.

I will provide the source if needed...

Thanks!

Menu Link To Same Scene As Menu
I'm trying to make a scene with a menu. That I can do but what I'd like to do is that the links open beneath or on the side of the menu instead of totally chaging scenes. I don't klnopw if I'm being real clear. Check out http://www.recordsrecords.com for example. This is the idea. But I don't know how to do it.
Thanks already

Link Menu In XML
Hello,

Anyways, I've got this menu dynamically generated by XML.

I have attached it, so you can download it and tell me what to do to fix this:

In the XML, there's a value that contains the URL to the corresponding item. I simply want Flash to go to that URL when the right button is pushed. I just have problems with getting the right button to go to the right URL. I think it's just a loop error.

It's much clearer in the attached file.

Basically, I want Google to go to google.com, and eBay to go to ebay.com.

Thanks

Add Link To Existing Menu
Hi downloaded a lovely menu from here but I can't seem to add a link to it. Here is the script:

onClipEvent (load) {
xskal = 100;
yskal = 100;
jump = false;
sX = 0;
sY = 0;
multiplikator = .8;
ratio = .3;
titel = "Log-in";
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!jump) {
sX = Number(sX*multiplikator)+Number((xskal-_xscale)*ratio);
sY = Number(sY*multiplikator)+Number((yskal-_yscale)*ratio);
_xscale += sX;
_yscale += sY;
}
}

What can I add (or not) to make this button work without taking away from the present actions? It currently bounces in & out on the hit state. I would like it to remain that way but also go to another page onclick. I tried adding an on_release and the link works but the other script is renendered invalid. Thanks.

[F8] Can´t Do The Menu Subitem Link
Hi, I am not exactly a newby in Flash, but not any expert either (not even a "little expert"). I use free templates for some menus that usually I customize without problems. But I got this one that is striking me down... I customized the layout and the menu and submenu titles, but I simply CAN NOT LINK THE SUBMENUS. Can anybody help me? I am also trying to make the "HH" logo to expand without the mouseover behavior (I would like it to do it onload or perhaps just loop expanding and contracting from time to time). But I also seem to be very unable to make it. I´ve been losing sleep, my head hurts, my eyes are red and I got nothing.Very humbly I ask for somebody to take a look and help me (file not attached due size, but I can send it no problem). Thanx

Menu Link Problems
Hi -- Still a newbie --have put together this cascading menu BUT cannot do 2 major things!

http://www.natourglobal.com/r-menu2.html


1)When I want to stipulate that the menu item (i.e. Products) wait to be clicked in order to get it to get the url....
2) I want to get the url when the item is clicked.

I tried onMyMouseClicked, myMouseClicked etc, etc, I am pretty sure that I am close, but just don't know what logic operator to use I guess....

Here's a small sample of what I have been dealing with...when I enter this as the code -- the minute my mouse is over the "item1" the get URL action takes place (even though no click has been done to select it!).

function IsMouseOnMenu1() {
with (menu1) {
mouseOnMenu1=false;
if (text1<>"" && mouseOnItem1==true){
mouseOnMenu1=true;
mouseOn1ItemNumber=1;
getURL ("http://www.automotive.com/products.html")
}

PLEASE HELP ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN! THANKS!

Link In Menu Bar Component
Hi, I've been searching through the forums, and although this seems to be a common question, I cannot find any answers anywhere! So here goes nothing:

How to script links for the menu bar component!! In the Flash Help, it tells you how to control when something was pressed but it seems to use some objects from the UIObject Class that I am 0 familiar with and well, I dont know, it didnt seem to work for me, Im kinda confused as to what are the parameters for the "menu bar" component, and what are the labels, etc etc... Basically all I need to know though is how to make a link for a main label and how to make a link for a submenu section... Geez, for as many times as I've seen this question asked on the web with no reply, this could almost be a sticky

hehe ok thank you!

Dynamic Menu Loadmovie Not Link
hi

I really need some hand holding here I’m not a programmer. I found this dynamic menu on FlashKit made buy Jason Latta and he is not available to help.

The below script was designed to link url’s. “Scottae’s” helped me with the line:

if (eval ("..:" add name add "url ") ne "" and eval ("..:" add name add "url ").indexOf("http: //www.") ne -1) { getURL (eval ("..:" add name add "url "));
} else {loadMovie (eval ("..:" add name add "url "), 1);

with that new line inserted the button loads the movie into a new browser window. I would like it to loadmovie into layer 1 of the same movie “index3.”

Here is more info and the fla’s - http://www.othoap.com/portfolio/

on (release) {
name = getProperty("", _name);
..:target = getProperty("", _name);
..:target_y = Number(getProperty("", _y))+Number(getProperty("", _height));
if (eval("..:" add name add "url ") ne "" and eval("..:" add name add "url ").indexOf("") ne -1) {
getURL(eval("..:" add name add "url "));
} else {
loadMovie(eval("..:" add name add "url "), 1);
}
down = substring(..:target, 10, 1);
if (..:CurrentSubSet eq down) {
call("..:CreateMainTopics");
} else {
call("..:CreateSubTopics");
}
}


Can any one suggest someone or forum who could help me with my script? It seems the answer is close but I’m unable to connect the dots. I really need some hand holding.

Smooth Menu Link Scroller
hi everyone!

i really need to know how to make a simple interface where there is a text box, a next button and a previous button. When you click the next button, the next item slides into the textbox, and if you press the previous button, the last item slides back in. If you dont understand yet, this is the look of the textbox i really need.

[<<] [text box] [>>]

Where it says "text box", there will be different links that slide in when the buttons are pressed.

i really dont know how to make this so please give any help you can!

Adding A Link Closes My Menu
I finally got my menus to work the way I wanted them to. Until I add a link to the sub menu. When I did that it just closes my menu.

I setup each menu to open on "Over" and then I put in an empty button to close the menu.

I've tried converting the sub menus to a button and then a movie, both did the same thing.

I've am actually pretty proud of my self for creating this, being that I am still a rookie with Flash, but this part has been really giving me a head ache.

I posted an example if this doesn't make sense.

Flash Menu Problem (with Link)
Please look at the following test site...

http://taildraggers.dyndns.org


Look at the flash menu on the left. Why is it that you first have to click on the menu before it animates? I am a VERY FLASH NOOB, and I made this using a generator. Is there something I can put in the code somewhere to fix this?


Thanks in advance.

[MX] Link Will Not Work When My Menu Is A Rollover (please Please Help)
I have Macromedia Flash MX and I created three buttons. When the mouse touches each button, another menu appears as a rollover. I cannot get these other buttons to work.

Only one button works with Action Script but that is because it is a regular button without any animation.

How can I make these rollover buttons go to the page I want? Thank you so much.

How Do I Get My Menu Bar To Link To An Html Page?
Hi! I'm very new to flash and have made an incredibly simple menu bar with buttons and small movie clips. I am trying to link the buttons to various other basic html pages of my website. For example, when you click on the word "newsletter" it goes to the page "newsletter.html" but I am have a terrible time getting the actionscripting to work.

So far, I have 'on, release, get url' then i add in my url. When I check the code it says there is no problem, but when i test it out, it does not link to the page.

Any advice??? Anyone? Feel free to email me, [email] I would greatly appreciate it! I'm using Macromedia Flash MX 2004.

Please Help Tsunami Menu Link Problem
Hi all,

(FLA attached)

I am attempting to build a tsunami-type menu which contains links to sections in the movie. I have built the majority of it thanks to the help of a tutorial however I can't get the links working. I cant figure out where to put the actions so that when items in the menu are clicked on, the movie jumps to the relevant place.

The menu works by duplicating 1 movie clip then pulls in a menu label from an array into a dynamic text box. I am trying to get the movie clip to read which label from the array has been pulled in and then on mouse click the movie will jump to a frame label in the main timeline with the same title as the array.

Sounds complicated but I didn't think it would be this hard! Now I'm pulling my hair out so if anyone can help I'd be so grateful!

Thanks in advance

AS Menu Link To Html Problem
Hello ppl.

I'm attempting to link from a AS menu into a html page. The link opens the correct page but I can't get the linked page to open within my original html frameset.

The code on my button is:

getURL("soon.htm", "_parent");
}

Does anyone know of a way to target areas of a html page within actionscript?

The html reference is:

target="mainFrame"

mainFrame being the name of my frameset.

Any help would be great..

Flash Menu In DW, How Do I Link The Buttons?
Hi there !
I'm having this problem with a site I'm creating.. in DW. But I'm making a flash menu that's suppose to be in my DW-site. And the menu looks like this: the buttons are coming in from the right side (in the left frame) and then they bumb once and then they stop, that's when I want them to be clickable.

But HOW do I do to make the links go to the right page, such as "home" or "about me" ? I wanna be able to click on the buttons and then the page should show up in the mainFrame.

Drop Down Menu External Swf Link
I used the drop down style roll over menus from the kirupa tutorial on the latest site im working on. All the buttons load external swfs fine except for the one with the drop down menu. My theory is the invis button is blocking the user from pressing it, could this be possible? Here's the files, im trying to get the link under the "training" menu "puppy head start" to work, thanks for the help guys im stumped.

another theory of mine is that since its a MC with buttons embedded it might not recongize the container movie clip?

Help Drop Down Menu Problem (link To Url)
Hi, can anyone help me please.

I need to make a pull down menu/s, that looks good.

I have tried using the invisible button technique with buttons in a mc. and the rewind command, shown here...

//
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};

But when i add animated drop down buttons within this movie clip they are not clickable/live when you test movie ,as the movie clip covers them up.

any ideas?

This would look really good if i could make the buttons clickable/live and just linked to a url.
