Problem with animated menu

programming flash
1

Hi all,

I created a basic animated menu, but I am having problems with it.

Example can be viewed at:
http://hazmatdesign.eesquad.org/advertech/

As you can see, the menu will not stay static if I click anywhere (which is a problem for navigation)

How do I fix this?

The FLA file can be viewed at http://hazmatdesign.eesquad.org/advertech/side.fla

Thanks in advance

Hey Keep0ne,

How are you make the menu move? Are you using a hitTest? Also I think that you are saving the file as a mx 2004 pro. I can’t open it. :thumb:

the menu moves by a simple motion tween. the motion tween gets activated by the mouse click (although i haven’t put any actionscript to activate it), then closes via mouse click (which i want to avoid).

i am saving it as a flash mx 2004 doc…not sure why you can’t open it.

is there any part of the coding you want me to paste?

Well I can’t open it?? I need to see how the file was made. Try saving it as MX :thumb:

FlashPlaya,

I’ve sort of figured a way around my previous problem, but have now stumbled on this one.

The file can be downloaded at: http://hazmatdesign.eesquad.org/advertech/site.fla

I currently have an invisible button to start the animation, and an invisible button to close the menu. The problem is, if I roll over the same button, the menu will in a sense, loop over. I used some if/else script which might be the problem.

on (rollOver) {
if (_root.menu_drop._currentframe=“15”) {
_root.menu_drop.gotoAndPlay(“16”);
} else if (_root.menu_drop._currentframe=“1”) {
_root.menu_drop.stop();
}
}

HAH! I fixed it. currentframe=“15” should be currentframe == “15”

Thanks!
