okay, i’m relatively new to dynamically attaching mc’s to other mc’s as in building a dynamic menu system from xml.
the code i’m tinkering with uses an .onRelease to create a function for dynamically attached mc’s so that when you click the mc you call an URL.
i need to be able to have something like an .onRollOver and then set up a function which calls frames of that mc so i can have nice rollover and rollout animations…
i tried having a button inside my mc (the one that gets dyn. attached) and use that to do rollover/out stuff, but that seems to conflict with the .onRelease function in the other AS on my main timeline…
sorry if I didn’t explain it well enough… falling asleep here!
thanks for any help (here’s the code)
menuXml = new XML();
menuXml.ignoreWhite = true;
menuXml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
menuItem = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<menuItem.length; i++) {
item = _root.holder.attachMovie("itemClip", "itemClip" + i, i);
item._x = 0;
item._y = 20*i;
item.itemLabel.text = menuItem*.attributes.name;
item.myUrl = menuItem*.attributes.url;
item.onRelease = function() {
getURL(this.myUrl,"_blank");
}
}
}
}
menuXml.load("myMenu.xml");
