Flash :: Making Menu Links That Connect To Each Other
Apr 15, 2012
I have a bunch of menu windows that I've placed on separate frames (for example main menu is on frame 1, options menu on frame 2, chapters menu on frame 3, characters menu on frame 4, etc). On each menu there are a bunch of text links (movieclip instances), when clicked goes to another menu page. Some of these same links (same instance) are duplicated on multiple pages since they perform the same function. For example clicking the "backToMain" instance will go back to frame 1, which is main menu, regardless of which page it was clicked on.
Does anyone have an idea how I might build this? So far I've tried to add listeners to every single link, however since lots of links are on different frames other than frame 1, I can't add listeners to them until I tell actionscript to flip to that frame, which I don't want to do. I want to globally add listeners to all links all at once in the beginning:

I purchased a website template that has some flash in it however the auther of the template lacked to include instructions and seemed to have left it unfinished (The links don't work, of course).
I can't seem to locate the actionscript he talks about: [URL]

Notice that nothing there with clickable links :
I cannot find the actionscript that deals with onRollOver actions I would be absolutly ecstatic.

I have a dynamically generated menu populated by two arrays, "menuTitles" and "menuLinks." Everything works great except the onRelease command. I get "undefined" instead of the contents of the array element (should be an HTML link). If I hard code the array element (menuLinks[1]) it works, but as it is, I just keep getting undefined.
function generateMenu() {
menuLength = menuTitles.length;
var currItem:MovieClip;
for (var i:Number = 0; i<menuLength; i++) {
currItem = emptyMovie.attachMovie("menuItem", "item"+i, i);

I'm making a classic horizontal sliding menu flash site, but just can't seem to iron out the last little tweak. How do I get the mouse to not react when over the open section, I've tried 'delete mc3.onRelease;' which works, but then that section will not longer work at all after it's been closed.
I've attached the fla and a link to the beta site as I'm finding it hard to explain exactly what I mean:[URL]..

About to pull out my hair...I've loaded an external text document into the dynamic text field fine, but am unable to make any html tags within that document work once it's up on the web. I'm trying to add links within the document.
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("firm_overview.txt");
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.overview;
};
Should i add something to this to enable the html tags to work??

I have been building this website and have run into a snag. The navigation for the site does not work well. The user seems to have to click alot of buttons just to get the information they want, so here is the site url...
First, I am using a flash navigation on the left side to control content in an Iframe.
Secondly, I have links in the Iframe that I would like to control the flash navigation.
For instance, on the portfolio page. When a user clicks on a project, I would like the menu to expand to the location of where the link in the menu is: example: in the profolio page, click on campden lakes home and the menu on the left expands project; over 4000 sq ft; So, having said that; do i have the site setup weird? Is there an other navigation menu that I can use.I think this is a flash actionscript, but i am not sure, sorry if If this questions should be in an other category. I hope someone can show me the errors of my ways.

I've been working on an imitation of the SamataMason website sub navigation. Right now I have a top level menu that is created from an array, and a sub menu display that is created from XML. If you click on any of the top 4 or so items in the menu you'll see a list of links displayed below. The problem at this point is that the line of code that controls which XML nodes get displayed causes the URL links to break.
Line 37 of the "XML functions" layer contains the code that breaks the URL links:Code:if (item.attributes.industry == industry) {If you comment out the line (and it's closing brace on Line 54) you can click on any of the top 4 menu items and it will display a list in which the URL links work. But you're not seeing the appropriate list for each menu item.Anyone know how to rewrite this line so that it doesn't interfere with the other code? I'm baffled as to why "URL" breaks but the "client" nodes still work.

I have a drop down menu on my website and it works perfectly fine except for some of the links. i don't have the other pages made yet but i still have the links to the pages in the buttons in my drop down menu. For some reason when i click on the buttons in the drop down menu, they don't go to the pages, they don't do anything. But when i click on the buttons in the sub drop down menu in side the main drop down, they work
the code for each button is the on(release) get url code, is their a different code i can use that will make these buttons work? here is the link to the website so you can see what I mean. the paralegal services button is the one with the drop down.

I've been asked to modify this flash piece (CS3, AS2) and add clickable links to the pop up menu. For the life of me I can't get it to work, and my head hurts from searching the web top to bottom for an answer. I would attach the fla but its too large, but basically you scroll over a button, in this case a dot, and it triggers a pop up box beside it with a list of items. These are generated by frame identifiers, and when you roll over the box it goes away. I need it to stay there and make that list of items clickable ones.

[URL] I finally figured out how to get my rollover links to work, but now I need to figure out how to make the bottom links move. For example, when we rollover the Arizona Link, we want the California and Contact Us links to move BELOW the Arizona rollovers. And same thing for when the California link is rolled over, we want the Contact Us link to move BELOW the California roll overs. I feel like it's just a matter of simple code manipulation where I have the rollover code for the individual links, the code I have is below:

I new to flash and I am trying to create a menu similar to the one in this tutorial: [URL] I was able to do so with no problems, but I would like the pages, or rectangles (content 1 movie clip, content 2 movie clip, etc) to also be hyperlinks to different pages. In other words, the user should be able to click on the big rectangles to get to other pages. I tried making them button symbols instead of movie clip symbols, but that broke the sliding menu- the rectangles no longer moved when buttons were clicked. I tried adding a getURL action to onRelease for the movie clips, but I get an error and from what I read, this cannot be done with Actionscript 2.

Ive noticed a lot of flash websites have user defined items/links added to the default flash right click settings menu. In other words when we right click on such flash websites it shows links to the designers home page or associated site etc.

I am trying to do the following: I have a project file open in CS4. It currently has a background image which is locked. I want to include a menu with links/sublinks on the left side, a corporate video in the middle and another video on the right. The menu on the left (links/sublinks) simultaneously controls the other two videos. If the user clicks the 'stop' link, both videos stop. I would also like to include a scrubber, to control the video (play, pause, rewind, mute).
I am trying to do this in pieces - first get the video imported and playing, then create scrubber/playcontrols, then incorporate second video, and finally add the menu (links/sublinks). I have created sites with Flash, but this project has me baffled. I have spent months on it. As an example - I am struggling just to import the first video. Do I embed it? It seems as though each time I import the video, it does something different. I was told to embed it into the timeline (each frame of video would be on its own frame in the Timeline). This would alleviate AV synch issues, and allow me to control everything at once.

I was following this nice tutorial on how to create a dock-like menu in Flash.I managed to add my own icons and to adapt height and length etc., but I did not manage to remove the grey bar in the back.And more important, to add a link to one of the items in the dock. I tried to make the icon a button, but that didn't really work.

I am doing a dynamical menu they are scroll, with links, I am using as function. If I call an external swf:
function cargaranimacion(animacion){
loadMovieNum(animacion,0)

In the text:
<a href='asfunction:cargaranimacion, "proceso_novolen.swf">PROCESO NOVOLEN</a>
<a href='asfunction:cargaranimacion, "polimerizacion_estructura.swf">POLIMERIZACION Y ESTRUCTURA</a>
And if I am inside a swf, call a label:
function cargaranimacion(animacion) {
gotoAndPlay(animacion);
}
That is ok... But, How I do to accede to a specific label of an external swf?? I want that it loads the animation and begin to it turns from the label that I indicate.

I'm in the process of learning OOP and have run into a small problem. I'm trying to create a basic menu system where you can rollover and rollout of all links. When you select a link, it stays highlighted until you click another link.I've given the 5 links instance names like (link0, link1, link2, link3, link4) and given them each an ID of (0,1,2,3,4) - respectively. I used to be able to do something like this:
Code:
this.onRollOver = function(){
if(this.ID != _root.selectedLink){
this.gotoAndPlay('in');
}

I am attempting to revamp a website. The buttons that are currently being used are only gifs that are hyperlinked and there are almost 12 buttons... I think that this is a ridiculous amount of buttons to have. It looks very cluttered. So, I figured I should make 6 buttons and just fit the rest of the buttons into subcategorized buttons. And the way to do this is to create flash buttons with drop down menus. To see what I mean, go to this link and look at their buttons:
[URL]
Their buttons drop down into menus with sub-categories. I want to do this.
So far, I have gone into flash, created buttons and made graphics for the "Up" "Over" "Down" and "Hit". I have also added the menu buttons and graphics for the "Over" of each drop-down button-menu.
I have even provided the action script to link each button to where I need it to go.
HOWEVER, here is where the problem is. When I roll the mouse over the button, and then move the mouse down to click on one of the buttons in the drop down menu, the menu disappears, OF COURSE, because the mouse goes off the hit. I can't make the hit bigger, because the menu shouldn't open unless it's on the main button. But without the hit being bigger, the menu will always disappear.
IN ADDITION, I've never used flash buttons on a website before. I'm just using HTML. How do I link the button to the page? Do I save the file as a .swf flash file? And link to 6 different files? Or do I save the buttons in a line, and just use one link?
