Ok I know there is already a post similar to this on here but I think the issue I am having is different. I have a menu and until the mouse rolls over the top of it nothing happens. Once the mouse rools over the slide moves out of the way to reveal text for a link. I can not get the click to move it to the page. I would love to attach the fla but it is too big even zipped. Can anyone help me? Everything seems ok with it until I try to test or post it to the site. I am desperate…
I can not get the click to move it to the page.
Sorry, I don’t follow. Could you be more clear?

ok what I am trying to say is that once it is posted nothing happens on the click. I suppose I should say that I am first off embedding the flash menu into a dreamweaveer page. The entire site is made in dreamweaver other than a few odds and ends. So, I created the menu in flash and I assigned a getURL code to each of the buttons. Load menu on page and everything is fine until I test it or upload it. I get the hand one the rool over but no action… Any ideas?
Sorry if I still am unclear just alittle more than tired.
Now, did you say that it works by itself (I mean, in the test environment via Ctrl+Enter)? If so, then it’s probably just a problem with the HTML stuff dreamweaver made (although I’m not quite sure what would be wrong, though you <i>are</i> using dreamweaver…which is a wysiwyg…which isn’t always reliable). If that’s the case, dreamweaver’s help files on troubleshooting would probably have something on that…or a faq thing or something online.
If it doesn’t work, I’d probably check to see that you’re actually able to “hit” the button by using trace calls on each button…So, on each button have something like…:
on(press){
trace("I'm hit!");
}
Anyway, hope that helps…

here is the site, I am not sure what is going on with it… would you take a look at it please. I’m sorry. I am not very good at communicating. No, it never did work in the test mode. All the code looks right but who am I to judge LOL
Hmm, I can’t tell from that, but could you maybe upload the fla to that server? Please?

NOt sure how to get you there. The fla is already on the server
Nevermind; I found it.

Er…I think this might be really simple. Open your mc: “Item One Slide” which has the instance name of “item one” up. There’s nothing in there. Everything works, but the reason why you don’t see anything show when you click on “The Band” is because you don’t have anything in the “Item One Slide” mc. Put something in there and you’ll see it, trust me.

p.s. the fla is located at: http://www.thebonjoviexperience.com/swwmenu.fla
Thank you for the info on the location… but I don’t understand what you mean by putting something on the slide.
Please explain
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("button one") {
play();
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("button one") {
gotoAndPlay(11);
}
}
on (press) {
tellTarget ("item one") {
play();
}
}
You said that when you clicked on the button, nothing showed up; am I right? Well, that’s why. Maybe I misunderstood, though. Btw, I don’t see any “getURL” calls in the fla.

OK I think that I am totaly lost on this now… I have to tell you the designing part is easy the imagination is there but getting it to work is hard. I am still a newbie with this. The getURL is on the text under the slide. I want the button to be the text. Did I totally do that wrong?
Oh! lights suddenly turn on as an epiphony is had Sorry, I’m just having trouble navigating through your fla, none of my stuff ever goes like 8 layers deep…and I didn’t make it, so I don’t innately know where everything is. I found what you’re talking about, though, and yeah, you have the text as, well, a graphic. Though I wouldn’t go about it as making the text the link, if it were me. You already have the slider button which works fine for that purpose, right? So, use it. On the slider, put something like…
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("button one") {
play();
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("button one") {
gotoAndPlay(11);
}
}
on (press) {
tellTarget ("item one") {
play();
}
}
//new code...
on(release, releaseOutside){
getURL("http://www.kirupa.com/");
}
Or whatever link you want. That’ll work. I hope that’s what you want, but, if it isn’t, don’t hesitate to inform me that I’m wrong.
