Buttons inside a movie clip wont work???

[McMurphy]

Hello,

I've made a few pop up menus in my site using the "track a menu" method and everything works just fine except the buttons.When I asign an action of "go to" to them they go crazy and wont perform the task as I asked them to..why is that? does any one have an idea?

Your buttons are calling actions within your movie clip, not outside. You designed your menu and then made it into a movie clip. That means that while your actions used to work, they no longer know how to communicate outside of the movieclip.
You need to add a TellTarget action to your buttons in your movie clip that call to "/level0" [that's level zero]. This will allow your menu's actions to be performed outside of your movie clip to the base level of your Scene. This is good for going to different frames. If you want to control different movie clips located in your scene,
then you need to add this to your button:

"/level0/movieclipName"

Search your documentation for how to do TellTarget's. I hope this info helps in some way.

Thanks a lot


That was JUST what I've been looking for and everything is working like I wanted it to.
