Please Help!

Hi, i’m having problem trying not to open up a new frame everytime i click on the sub-headings. Here’s the demo so you know what i’m talking about 'coz i’m not very good at explaining :slight_smile:
The following is the actionscript used in flashMX…please help me i really need this to get started. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

traguardo = new Array(n.length);
traguardof = new Array(fields.length);
inizio = new Array(n.length);
function traguardi() {
cont = 0;
for (i=0; i<n.length; i++) {
nome = “oggetto”+i;
if (i>tasto) {
traguardo* = (i+n[tasto])16+1;
for (a=cont; a<cont+n; a++) {
traguardof[a] = traguardo*;
}
cont = a;
} else if (i<tasto) {
traguardo* = inizio*;
for (a=cont; a<cont+n*; a++) {
traguardof[a] = traguardo*;
}
cont = a;
} else if (i == tasto) {
traguardo* = inizio*;
for (a=cont; a<cont+n*; a++) {
if (a == cont) {
prima = a-1;
}
traguardof[a] = 16*(a-prima)+traguardo*;
}
cont = a;
}
}
}
clip._visible = 0;
clip1._visible = 0;
cont = 0;
for (i=0; i<n.length; i++) {
nome = “oggetto”+i;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.clip, nome, i+100);
traguardo* = i16+1;
inizio = i16+1;
_root[nome].tasto = i;
_root[nome]._y = i16+1;
_root[nome].title = titoli*;
for (a=cont; a<cont+n*; a++) {
nome1 = “oggettonuovo”+a;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.clip1, nome1, a);
traguardof[a] = i16+1;
_root[nome1].field = a;
_root[nome1].link = links[a];
_root[nome1]._y = traguardo;
_root[nome1].title = fields[a];
}
cont = a;
}
function spegni() {
cont = 0;
for (i=0; i<n.length; i++) {
nome = “oggetto”+i;
_root[nome].gotoAndStop(1);
}
spegni1();
}
function spegni1() {
for (i=0; i<fields.length; i++) {
nome = “oggettonuovo”+i;
_root[nome].gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
function chiudi() {
cont = 0;
for (i=0; i<n.length; i++) {
nome = “oggetto”+i;
_root[nome].gotoAndStop(1);
traguardo* = inizio*;
for (a=cont; a<cont+n*; a++) {
traguardof[a] = traguardo*;
nome1 = “oggettonuovo”+a;
_root[nome1].gotoAndStop(1);
}
cont = a;
}
}

Don’t paste so much code at once, it’s very hard to read. Also, I don’t think that the onPress event is declared in the piece of code you gave here, so it’s probably inside a clip that you’re attaching/duplicating.

pom :slight_smile:

If im not mistaken, ive modified that menu in another thread.
Check if that helps.

Thanks guys…yes claudio you’re right…that’s where i got this menu from. oh my! i’m not sure if the answer is there already with the thread you’ve given. ok, i don’t want a lot of windows opening up everytime i click on a subheading. what i want is once you click on a subheading, the old window disapear being replaced by the new window. The demo i gave above probably demonstrates better if you keep clicking on the subheadings. If possible, where exatly do i need to put the actionscript? I’ll be a very happy man if i get this right. Hope that explains a lot clearer. thanks

problem solve :sure: On the submenu MC i change;

on(release){
_root.spegni1();
gotoAndStop(5);
getURL(link,“blank”);
}

to

on(release){
_root.spegni1();
gotoAndStop(5);
getURL(link,"_self");
}

simple as that! :slight_smile:

anyway thanks again guys for your help
