hi,

first of all, thanks to Senocular for providing the source file at [www.senocular.com](http://www.senocular.com) - it’s fantastic. i’ve been trying to create something like this for ages but haven’t been able to - quite new to actionscripting.

anyway, i want to be able to display text in the boxes so that it relates to my website. at the moment, it’ll only generate “item0, item1, item2, etc.” but i want the text to display “home, gallery, etc.”

here’s a part of the script that i think needs to be edited to get it working but i don’t seem to be able to do it.

/\*\*\* variables \*\*\*/  
var targets = [{\_x:0, \_y:100, \_width:0}]; // first target is for reference  
var baseScale = 100;  
var zoomedScale = 200;  
var itemCount = 5;

/\*\*\* generate \*\*\*/  
for (var i=0; i\<itemCount; i++){  
var previous = targets[targets.length-1];  
var position = {\_x:previous.\_x + previous.\_width, \_y:previous.\_y};  
var item = this.attachMovie(“item”, “item” + i, i, position);  
// for unique content in item clips, attach those  
// movie clips to the item clip here  
SetItemProperties(item, previous, 3, baseScale, 7); // set values for movement  
item.onPress = ItemSelect; // set onPress handler  
item.onEnterFrame = ItemEnterFrame; // set enter frame handler  
targets.push(item); // include it in the targets array  
}

there is 1 movieclip in the library called “item” and this is being re-used i think. but i don’t know how to edit this source file to allow different text to be shown.

also, if someone can let me know how i can add in the actual links that would be fantastic. ie: i want to go to home.html when home is clicked, go to gallery.html if gallery is pressed.

help is much appreciated.

cheers
