Ok heres the problem, i made a nice flash menubar with 3dfa. I've got all the buttons set to navigate to the different pages of my website. It works like a charm INSIDE 3dfa when I test it, but when I publish it to my website clicking on the buttons does nothing. I'm not really sure what i've done wrong here. I set the button down property of each menubutton to open the right url, tried all five of the target options. It still never works. Can anyone explain this to me?

Sound ok something wrong though, Hard to say with out see it.
What is the EXACT thing you have in one of the menu buttons?
Simple fix either add the http:// to the urls or remove the domain info
When you enter a url without the http:// the browser assumes the url is relative in other words within the current domain. So when you have a url like geocities.com/~mysite/thefile.html and you are already at geocities.com/~mysite/index.html the browser will try to go to geocities.com/~mysite/geocities.com/~mysite/thefile.html which is wrong. In this case the url should have been just thefile.html

Make sense?
Makes plenty of sense except for one thing. It still doesn't work. I've tried it both ways with the same result. It just sits there doing nothing when clicked on after I publish it to my website. Actually even if I export it and test it in IE it doesn't do anything when clicked. Sorry it took me so long to respond again, been out Christmas shopping all day.
Ok this is really strange. Just on a hunch I took the 3dfa menu sample and exported it. Its doing EXACTLY the same thing as my own menubar. It works fine INSIDE 3dfa, but as soon as I export it, the buttons do nothin at all when clicked. Could I have a broken 3dfa or something?

I just exported it again and added the http:// to the url and it worked fine.....
Did you remember to UPDATE the menu before export, Done that like a million times and wondered why a menu didn't work.
Something is seriously wrong here. Even when I downloaded the one that worked for The Cheat and exported it........it doesn't work. And 3dfa hasn't responded to my e-mail yet.
Originally posted by blanius check your version of the flash player plugin for starters
you could also try reinstalling 3dfa. Other than that I'm stumpped
I have Macromedia Flash Player Version 7,0,14,0 installed successfully according to Macromedia.com. I'll try reinstalling 3dfa this afternoon.........hopefully it'll work because I still haven't heard back from 3dfa support yet and I really like this program.
Try this, Import the file that i uploaded into 3dfa, and export it to a .swf file. Then upload the .swf to the net and let us look at it.
If the links dont work for us, we will know that the problem is with 3dfa. But if the links do work with us, just not with you, then we know its some sort of problem with your internet explorer, or flash player or something. Make sense?
