I have been stuck for hours (buttons)

[Chadley]

Ok, all I want to do is make some buttons to navigate a flash site I am making, I dont know scripting so thats out of the question.

What is happening is I click the button and it goes to the frame I want it tii but then the buttons disapear...what I would like is for someone to take me through step by step the multiple swf way of making a site, I juts cant get this to work

v/r
frustrated

what exactly are you trying to do?

and forget the thing about no scripting. (or do html again)

maybe the problem is that the buttons are no longer on the stage because the sprite on the timeline is to short.

ok, sorry for the not so decriptive post hehe...

I want something like this:


|BUTTON|

|BUTTON|

|BUTTON|

and the only thing I want is when you click on them, to go that part of the website. See, Im trying to make my first flash site and I need navagation buttons. I have heard of a way to do it with multiple swf but I dont know how.

I know why they are disapearing now, its because I mke the button link to another frame in the timeline, and in that frame, there is no buttons, understand? Im sorry If I am confusing

sounds like you want to use load movie with multiple swfs?

well put an empty movieclip on the timeline, give it an instance name of "content" or something..

on your buttons put

on (release) {
  loadMovie ("url of movie you wanna load", "content");
}

make multiple movies.. one for each section. so when you click the button, it loads the according movie


i hope that helps you in some way

Hey! I finally got it too work, but one thing...I set the "forums" button to go to a url and when I run it in flash it works, but on the net it doesn't??? What's wrong with that...btw the little play button is just a cartoon I made a couple weeks ago, thanks for the help
