View 1 RepliesI need to add a couple menu items to an existing Flash menu that I did not create, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make the buttons stay highlighted until you click another one. Best way to simply describe my problem since is to simple show you. The first 5 links work exactly as they should. But the last 2 (Careers and Client login) do not stay go highlighted on the loaded page. [URL]

View 0 RepliesI am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:

I am a brand spanking new user. I just attended a class, however I am using flash not on a site. Instead I am exporting to DVD to play on huge 60" TV's. Problem... I'm at 16000 frames and not even half way done.How do I link movies that will loop on a DVD? I'm guessing by the time i'm done i'll probably have 4-5 movies.

View 3 RepliesI'm building an rss reader in flash. I have the rss displaying with no problem, the problem is, I need each title to open the web page to a particular site.The link is the same for every header, so I assumed it wouldn't be that hard, but since I'm very new Flash and followed a tutorial to get this working[code]...
View 2 RepliesBasically I have a primary navigation and secondary or nested menu on one menu item. The following load movie script works fine on the primary menu on the root:
about_mc.onRelease = function() {
createEmptyMovieClip("container2", 1);
loadMovie("about2.swf", "container2");
[code]....
For the RSS I made a scrollable list of the items from the xml to show the time+title - this is working fine. Now when I click on the title it show on the text area (logText) the description. Now what I want is to add a link behind the description. I have tried with .link but it shows the whole link tag and not clickable link to the page...
function selectLog(evt:Event):void {
logText.htmlText = rssXML.channel.item[evt.target.selectedIndex].description;
Would be nice to have the link working.. like "read more".. clickable link... behind the description.
i am building a website that uses a flash dropdown menu and i am having some trouble getting the dropdown items to link to the pages.here is the code i am using
dentoalveolar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLIC K, clickLink);
implants_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickLink);
wisdom_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickLink);[code]..........
this is in an actionscript layer and works fine for the first set but when i try to use this same code for the other dropdown sections i get errors.i think it is because i an repeating the function but i cant get it to work without it either so i imagine i only need that function in the first set but i cant figure out how the other sets should look.
I would like to use Sliding Menu (URL...) on my web site,how to I load the external movie when user lands on let's say slide 3 (content3)?From actions script given on page URL...Then, when user go to another slide, I would ultimately would like to unload/stop the loaded swf movie
View 2 RepliesI have created a menu that loads external swf files using this code:

Check out [URL] to see its operation. I am now testing a sub menu within one of these menu movie clips. When the mouse hovers over the movie clip, the sub menu movie clips appear. The sub menu movie clips have this same code (with the intention of the user being able to click on the sub menu movie clips and the new swf file kicks the current swf out of level 30 and loads the new one) however the swf file fails to load to level 30.

I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function
_root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() {
trace(this);
var splitThis:String = this
var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu");
trace(splitThis)
trace(splitThisArray[1])
};
Now the trace output I get is
_level0.mainMenu1
_level0.mainMenu1
undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".
Why these menu items won't open the specified url's in the same window? (won't open them at all)
And why is there no hand cursor (like normally when you mouse over a link)?
See the .fla attached
Is it passible to hide swf menu items?
View 1 RepliesI have two PNG images that have text in them as menu items. When clicked, a new XML file is loaded and new set of photos is displaying.Everything works fine, but I want the menu item to be highlighted when hovering the mouse over the item. In other words, so that new image is displayed in place of the old one on MOUSE_OVER, and the old image is back on MOUSE_OUT.

View 11 RepliesI have recently launched a site for a client which includes an interactive flash element on the home page but it takes a long time to load (10-30seconds). I have followed advice from others about keeping image small and link movies rather than embed but still slow, the swf file is about 7.9mb which i thought was ok for the size of flash file. Does anyway else know where I have gone wrong whether it be the embedding or some other area.
View 5 RepliesA good button should have all the available out, over and down states, and often there are a bunch of nice to haves such as animation, disabled states, filters, you name it. I seem to change my mind in each project I do. The last one, I reskinned and extended the Button Component. The project before I extended SimpleButton Before that I built my own custom class using a Sprite and TweenLite. Then of course you need to work out if you will use library items which is great for laying out on stage, or do everything from scratch using code, which is more powerful but crap for design. I haven't looked at the swc or component route myself.
