Oh man…
I come to you all on bended knee.
Crust in my eyes.
Gray nightmares of senseless code (does anyone else get those?).
I found some code that answered the question I was clearly failing to ask properly here: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65908&page=2
the attached sample doesn’t operate fully yet, but I’m working on retro-engineering the code and figuring it out.
I’ll get that part.
The part I can’t seem to solve lies in making the nav buttons load an external swf. I need to do this so that the content can load with a preloader/progress bar.
The kirupa upload limit denied me, so I uploaded my source files here: http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=other&file=swappymenu.zip
You need let the page load and click to download it.
Inside:
2loaded.swf (a sample swf to test out the loading)
EasingNavigation_HELP.fla
EasingNavigation_HELP.swf (the menu file)
Here’s how I tried to get it to work while falling in and out sleep, to no avail:
And ideas?
I’m stumped and fried and thanking you in advance (generously)
