hi everybody,

its a new year(happy new year!) and i have a new problem in flash. my sliding menu doesn’t slide like i want it to.

well, when i hit the ‘1’ button, the ‘1’ movie clip doesn’t slide but
when i hit the ‘2’ and ‘3’ buttons, the menu works! also the menu doesn’t show the ‘4’ movie clip fully when the ‘4’ button is clicked.

I looked at your file and noticed that all your cordinates on the buttons are wrong so I fixed them so that it scrolls and shows the entire number. I couldn’t find what was the problem with button number 1 so I deleted it and replaced it with a copy of one of the other ones and fixed the script on it so now everything is working exactly how you wanted it to. Here is your fla. =)

thanks 4 the correction, buddy!

but i do face this problem upteem number of times .like in the dragging menu, sliding menu.

i guess my positiong and alignment are all wrong.

hey electron(what is ur real name?) could you tell me what i could do to fix this position problem of mine?

in the dragging menu too, i had severe problems with the positiong of the buttons i shall also be posting that soon so that you could help me!

i know i know this reply really sounds dumb because i have to just change the co-rodinates of the objects till i achieve the result i want but argghh i couldn’t help posting this and my fingers were itching to type something on the keyboard!

anyway electron(real name?) help me out with the positiong if there is something i need to know more in order to get the accurate results.

I’m going to be honest with you, but I’m not no genius actionscripter. As a matter of fact, I’m still new to AS myself, I’m barely scratching the surface and there’s still a lot for me to learn.

As for you menu, I knew right away that there was a problem with the x cordinates and after playing with the numbers, I realized that negative numbers moves it to the left and positive numbers moves it to the right so I just plugged in numbers until it lined up correctly. You can use decimals as well to get a more accurate alignment so that’s what i did.

I’m still learning so that’s the best answer I could give you, but feel free to post more questions and I’ll try my best to help you and if I can’t then I’m sure someone else will.

Oh and my real name is Timothy, but you can call me electrongeek, EG, elec, geek, E-geek…etc hahaha :stuck_out_tongue:

hey timothy the fixedmenu.fla you posted was done in FLASH MX
and I have Flash 5 with me. You must be knowing that animations done in Flash MX will not open in Flash 5(it gives a unexpected file format!).

SO WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE???

is there a way out?

Here you go, I didn’t know you were working with flash 5 so I resaved the file as version 5 so it should work now. =)
