I wanted to make my buttons move across my site in a looping fashion…(thanks to this forum I now know how to import a looping movie)…so i made them into a movie. The animation works great so do the rollovers…in the movie itself. But when I import that movie into the main stage of the site…the rollovers as well as go to actions are lost. My goal was to be able to have a continuous scrolling set of nav buttons. BTW.I was also unable to figure out how to get the moving buttons to stop on roll over…
Sounds like a common problem. If you load the movie into a movie clip make sure you target the movie clip.
So if you load a movie called test.swf in an mc called holder, your actions should be:
_root.holder.gotoAndStop(frame);
This would make test.swf go an stop at frame.
I’m not sure what you mean as to whether you’re loading into a movie clip, a level or none - ie. just dragging onto the main timeline.
Either way just target the clip properly
_root.mc.action
_root.thismc.insidethismc.action
_level1.action <-- movie loaded into level 1
_level0.actions <-- movie loaded into level 0 (main movie).
If that doens’t help, please be more specific about the problem.
Also try running a search of the posts. You might just find something.
its hard to know how you’ve done it without seeing the source but i would imagine you just did an animation of your buttons going in a circle so on the button actions in addition to the getURL command you can add a on(rollOver) stop(); command that will stop the animation and then set a on(rollOut, releaseOutside) play(); command.
hope this helps
if you still have more questions you should post your source or an example of what you’re trying to do
