Trying to get back into it as I'm making up a little menu system with it for my current project... Here's kind of what I'm shooting for: <EMBED src="http://www.filter-line.net/other/3.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=377 HEIGHT=387 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED> Now, if you notice... the buttons can be "tricked" by fast movement. I'm assuming the problem lies with the fact that each button is on a separate layer which triggers a movie clip on that layer.... THEREFORE.... if all the buttons were on the same layer as well as one movie clip for all the buttons.... this whole thing could be avoided. I tried it, and I'm stuck. At present, consider the movie clip that has the actions to the buttons called "total" Each button I've scripted with... [b]On (Roll Over) Begin Tell Target ("/total") Play End Tell Target End On[/b] still with me? Ok... so now the MC is as such... On the very first frame... I have... [b]Go to and Play (/:playnext)[/b] then the MC continues and does the animation to where the full word of the section in shown. Then of course, there is a stop action. When the animation ends for the button, I have inserted... [b]Go to and Play (/:playnext)[/b] again. And I've repeated this process for each of the buttons. I've put the "total" MC on the stage with the buttons on the same layer.... there is a stop in the first frame of the movie.... I've identified the instance name of the "total" MC.....yet when I export..... nothing happens on roll-over of any of the buttons. I'm a bit stumped here. I've done almost this identical routine with another Flash I had made many months ago.... but it's been that long since I've used it. I went back and compared the two movies to try to determine where they differ, and I have yet to locate the source of the problem. Insight here is appreciated... -Michael edit: damn slimies gettin in the way.... [This message has been edited by taxon (edited 07-15-2001).] Loading...
