Button in a movieclip

[ben_stilwell]

I've created a menu and made it a movieclip. On the movieclip are the menuitems which I've created as buttons. On the buttons is the following actionscript:

on (release) {
	this.getURL("http://www.donsayersassociates.com","_blank");
}

The menu is then placed on my main stage.

The problem is when I test the movie the movieclip doesn't seem to register it as a button at all. The link doesn't fire and the rollOver events don't seem to do anything.

Is there a restriction for a button in a movieclip.

Does the menu movieclip have any mouse interactions? If so they may be interfering with the button actions.

[ben_stilwell]

Nope, no mouse interactions on the movieclip. I have noticed something new though. The first button which simply says "Menu" seems to work correctly, but the rest aren't at all.

Strange. Hard to tell without seeing the FLA.

[ben_stilwell]

Fair enough. I'll strip out the menu since the main flash has some sensitive info in it.

Your rollout effect on the MenuTitle Clip seems to be intefering with the buttons. It works when I move that layer to the bottom, however, doing that makes the rollout trigger very easilly and it is hard to get onto the buttons without triggering the rollout. However, that does seem to be what is keeping the buttons from working.

I noticed that to. I thought I had changed it already. I arranged the rollout button behind the others and it seemed to work for the first button, but that's all. So if I put the rollout on its own layer below them all it should work.


Edit: Yep. That's what it was. Thanks for the help.

It worked for the first button because you had the code directly on the button. The other ones had no code on them.
