Stupid question (I'm sure)

programming flash
1

Can a Flash menu be used on a non flash site such as dreamweaver?

Oh and if so how do you link the non flash pages?

Yes you can, for the buttons on the flash menu you created, you would apply a script similar to this:

on (release) {
	getURL("http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.html", "_blank");
}

You basically plug in whatever URL you want and change _blank to _self if you don’t want it to open that link in a new browser window. Changing it to _self will replace the current browser window.

Thank you so much!!! I will give that a try… One last question should the home page that the menu is on have a preloader for the menu? I know this sounds stupid but this is my first time trying this.

Depends on the file size of your menu, if it loads fast on a 56k connection then it’s pointless to add a preloader. Only add a preloader if it takes awhile to load.

thanks again…
