[font=Century Gothic][tsunami](http://actionscript.org/tutorials/advanced/Building_a_tsunami/index.shtml)[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=green] **I did this tutorial, and it works fine, but I want to make the individual things into buttons, like a navigation. In the example they have something like, 01. one, 0.2 two…etc. I want those to be buttons, how do I do that??** [/color][/font] ---

Put something like that on each of the menu items onClipEvent(press){ //do something } ---

[font=Century Gothic]I have a picture on frame 40 of the main timeline. I want it so that when I click “01. one” it goes to that picture. So I put this code on “01. one” and it did not work. [/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Arial Black][color=seagreen]onClipEvent(press){ gotoAndPlay(40); }[/color][/font] [font=Arial Black][color=#2e8b57][/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=black]How do I fix this?[/color][/font] ---

can you upload your fla that would help for a more exact answer. When you say it’s not working, what is it doing instead… without knowing that I can only guess a bit so these may not help at all. 1. try gotoAndStop(40); 2. you might need \_root.gotoAndPlay(40); 3. er I dont have enough info really… sorry man Is the little finger coming up, like when you roll over a button, or does it stay an arrow? That would help a bit, and I’ll go DL the souce for that file so I can see what youre doing maybe. ---

[font=Century Gothic]Scroll up to my original message, and click on the link. Download the .fla. Open it. Now you should see a “[color=royalblue]list[/color]” like this:[/font] [font=Century Gothic] ![]()[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]I want to turn this “[color=royalblue]list[/color]” into a navigation. Let’s say you have a picture on [color=royalblue]frame 40,[/color] and when you click “[color=royalblue]01. one[/color]” it goes to [color=royalblue]frame 40[/color] and shows the picture. I tried the code you posted, and when I press [color=royalblue]‘ctrl+enter’[/color] to watch the movie, this happens[/font] ![]() ---

Making me do work to help you isn’t a very good way of getting things done, my time is probably as filled as yours, however, I’ll let you off. I was simply trying to see the direction you are going and your code additions and modifications, so that I might be able to tailor a solution to your style of coding…that way I wouldn’t have to explain my style. I’ll attach the file as I have modified it, so you can learn from it, I did not make it with comments or anything but I think you can figure it out. If you need more help you are going to have to post the file as you have it. ---
