XML - Slide Menu Problem

programming flash
1

Hey all

I found this nice tutorial on how to make a slide menu, and load the rubs and subrubs using xml. And I was able to follow it, and make it how I wanted it.

The only problem is that it stopped short and didn’t say how to add links to the button on the menu.

Since all of the menu is built in AS (I believe) I don’t really understand how I can add links to each button. It would help if you take a look at the .fla which I have attached.

If someone could help me a bit to get me started that would be great.

Also, I would like the links from the buttons, to open up in a frame on my page, if possible.

thanks

You add links through the XML file not the Flash file. Open it up and add this


<topItem name="Kirupa" subTotal="2">
<subItem name="Kirupa is cool" />
<subItem name="Kirupa is great" />
</topItem>

Thanks for the reply, but I know how to do that.

I need to know how to add the “link” to a html page. <a href…>, so when you click on a button, it opens the new webpage. I would like to have it open the webpage, in a frame on my site.

Otherwise adding things to the menu is kinda silly since when u click on them, they don’t take you anywhere.

Thanks though.

Next?

Help!!!
