Im building a website and is almost done but i have one problem which is the menu!

I've assigned urls to each button with the actionscript

getURL("url");
}


But when i upload it to my website when i press the buttons nothing happens..

Please Help me!

Ok, try this code instead:
Take this code off of the movieclips (AS on movieclips = bad idea)

/*on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_button1 = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.mouse_over_button1 = fstartlse;
}
on (release) {
	getURL("http://dust.xboxlife.dk");
}

Put this code at the bottom of your AS layer.

this.home_btn.onRollOver = function(){
	this._parent.mouse_over_button1 = true;
	}
this.home_btn.onRollOut = function(){
	this._parent.mouse_over_button1 = fstartlse;
	}
this.home_btn.onPress = function(){
	getURL("http://dust.xboxlife.dk", _blank);
	}

Should work for ya, good luck.

I just thought of somthing else...I heard somewhere that Flash 8's security features can sometimes block you from loading external links...so you might want to check into that. That actually might be your problem.

[funkysoul]

Flash Security features only affect when passing variables / strings out or in to flash.

[Pax]

Yah, was just doing some research about it. Its mainly just when running .swf's locally too. Macromedia was trying to prevent malicious attacks on people via .swf files, so they made it that no content could be loaded from non-local files, or even from local .html, .xml, etc. files unless the security settings were changed.

[Crueltylizer]

So i should turn this off before doing anything else?

[Pax]

Eh, try the other code and see if it works. After reading the stuff Macromedia released on the security stuff, your swf should work fine online, but be blocked when running locally.

Edit:
Just uploaded the changed code my my server, and its not working yet...I'll go have a look at it later on, I gotta head out now.

Great thx..!

Tried it myself and it wouldn't work so..

But i really hope you can help me as this project should be out and working by friday so im kinda in time need atm..

[Pax]

Haha, crunch time, eh? I'll try to get a fix on it...maybe funkysoul can help if I cant.

Edit;
Ok, Ive been looking over your .fla again. you have multiple things with the same instance name, that might be the problem...

Edit:
Ok......
All fixed mate!

Change the instance names of the buttons to somthing thats different from the movieclip instance names (right now they're all button1, button2, etc);
and use the code from above for every button. That should make things work!

Is it possable to make that particular feature modular? If I wanted to be able to cover the screen in dots that faded in and out when you moused over and off them without having to renumber everything up to 100, for example.

[funkysoul]

not like the menu is at the moment..
If you want to create it modular you need to create the "dots" dynamically and assign them an ID dynamically.. which is a few lines of coding
