    Button Duplication Help

    Hey

    I've just built a site for my company and am really new to flash.

    I am having difficulty making a simple menu for my website. If you have a look at my menu.fla you can see i have one button that works correctly but i am unsure as to how i can duplicate the button so that the same flash plays (ie the blinking) but the link and button text changes. Can anyone help?

    Thank you in advance.

    Pete

    Thanks FortyRobbers!

    The links will be:

    about us: products: support: news: contacts

    i already made the appropriate folders in the library. I could duplicate them but was unsure as to how you change the three objects - photo1, photo2 and panel button interact with each other. Is there a simple way to do this?

    Thanks again

    okay. I think i have got it. one thing i am puzzled about is why the blue box doesn't show up when you preview it. I can do it but i am not sure how some of the movie clips work. Explain?

    Panel Button is .... etc.
    Thanks
    When i finish I will contact you or pm you

    Yeah!!!

    i am throughly pleased to say that your menu has been COMPLETED! i'll post the file up. It was pretty simple. All I had to do was duplicate (Right-click>Duplicate) the first two movie clips you gave me. Since I couldn't edit the text in the menu selection, I had to edit the "photo" (?) movieclip (which is just text) into products and that stuff. Then I simply deleted the previous text (in the menu option, not in photo") and replaced them with new text wether it be Products or News etc. If this is not what you want, I will happily change it! One question: Is this going to be a real company? cuz if it is, can I have some credit? :P

    Keep in touch,

    Ps: I am only 11 years old
