Hi, just know little basics. I have made a my website in flash but now plan to change it to html using frames and flash movies. The first problem I face is how to use my menu to point at the url in the desired frame.
The current website i am changing is www.sattvadezign.com
The code used for the menu is as follows:
stop();
stage.frameRate = 30;
//---- add the buttons to an array --------
var buttonsArray:Array = [HomeMc,ProfileMc,PracticeMc,ProjectsMc,IdeasMc,ContactMc,LinksMc];
//----loop thru the buttonsArray-----
//----set some properties and add events to buttons----
function setButtons():void {
for (var i:int=0; i<buttonsArray.length; i++) {
buttonsArray*.id = i;
buttonsArray*.buttonMode = true;
buttonsArray*.mouseChildren = true;
buttonsArray*.mouseEnabled = true;
buttonsArray*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,Over);
buttonsArray*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,Out);
buttonsArray*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Click);
}
}
//----fires when the mouse rolls over the button----
function Over(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(“over”);
}
//----fires when the mouse rolls out the button----
function Out(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(“out”);
}
//----fires when you click on the button
function Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
//----set the currentBtn variable equal with-----
//----the id of the button that was clicked-----
var currentBtn:int = event.currentTarget.id;
//----call the setSelectedBtn function
setSelectedBtn(currentBtn);
}
/check to see witch button was clicked
if the id passed to the setSelectedBtn function
is identical with the id of the button clicked
we put that buttons in the down state (selected)
and remove all the events added to it/
function setSelectedBtn(id:int):void{
for (var i:int=0; i< buttonsArray.length; i++) {
if (id == i) {
buttonsArray*.gotoAndPlay(“click”);
buttonsArray*.buttonMode = false;
buttonsArray*.mouseEnabled = false;
buttonsArray*.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,Over);
buttonsArray*.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,Out);
buttonsArray*.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Click);
switch(id){
case 0:
MovieClip(parent).AllPages.gotoAndPlay(“Home”);
break;
case 1:
MovieClip(parent).AllPages.gotoAndPlay(“Profile”);
break;
case 2:
MovieClip(parent).AllPages.gotoAndPlay(“Practice”);
break;
case 3:
MovieClip(parent).AllPages.gotoAndPlay(“Projects”);
break;
case 4:
MovieClip(parent).AllPages.gotoAndPlay(“DesignIdeas”);
break;
case 5:
MovieClip(parent).AllPages.gotoAndPlay(“Contact”);
break;
case 6:
MovieClip(parent).AllPages.gotoAndPlay(“Links”);
break;
default:
trace(“ups, something it’s wrong”);
break;
}
} else {
if(buttonsArray*.currentLabel ==“click”){
buttonsArray*.gotoAndPlay(“out”);
}
buttonsArray*.buttonMode = true;
buttonsArray*.mouseEnabled = true;
buttonsArray*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,Over);
buttonsArray*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,Out);
buttonsArray*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Click);
}
}
}
//----call the setButtons function----
setButtons();
setSelectedBtn(0);

Thanks
