swfAddress issues

1

Ok, so I’m trying out swfAddress (version 2.1) for the first time, and I’m having some issues…

Here’s my really simple test swf.

The left block is called button1_mc, the right block is called button2_mc, and the top, smaller one is called buttonHome_mc. They are all contained within menu_mc.

When you click button1_mc, the whole thing moves left (this would be the ‘page1’ application state). Same thing for button2_mc, but it moves right. When you click buttonHome_mc, it moves back to the center (the ‘/’ application state).

And here’s my AS:


import gs.TweenMax;
import SWFAddress;

// Save the default menu x-position
menu_mc.homeX = menu_mc._x;

// Make an array with key as swfaddress value, value as the button object
swfPages = new Array();

// Function that sets page and shiftX value for a button, and adds it to the swfPages array
addPage = function(mc, page, shiftX) {
    mc.page = page;
    mc.shiftX = shiftX;
    swfPages[page] = mc;
    }
addPage(menu_mc.buttonHome_mc, '/', 0);
addPage(menu_mc.button1_mc, '/page1/', -50);
addPage(menu_mc.button2_mc, '/page2/', 50);

// Set button functions
buttonFunction = function(button) {
    button.onRelease = function() {
        changePage(this);
        SWFAddress.setValue(this.page);
    }
    button.onRollOver = function() {
        SWFAddress.setStatus(this.page);
    }
    button.onRollOut = function() {
        SWFAddress.resetStatus();
    }
};
buttonFunction(menu_mc.buttonHome_mc);
buttonFunction(menu_mc.button1_mc);
buttonFunction(menu_mc.button2_mc);

// Page Change Function
changePage = function (swfAddressValue) {
    var button = swfPages[swfAddressValue];
    var toX = menu_mc.homeX + button.shiftX;
    TweenMax.to(menu_mc, 0.5, {_x:toX});
};

SWFAddress.onChange = function() {
    changePage(SWFAddress.getValue());
}

Everything works as expected in the swf file, and when you hover over the buttons you can see the correct URL show up in the status bar - but when you click, the URL doesn’t change.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong… Thanks for any help you can give me :beer:
