MC menu to open a new MC menu..?

nim23 · 07-10-2007, 03:04 PM

Hi there I am currently building a flash site...

I have a menu with 2 options in it, one being 'portfolio' and the other 'contact'

This menu loads up nicely and I have fades on them both, and placed as movie clips... This is all conceiled as one movie clip file...

The 'portfolio' button in this menu is to open another menu below it in a similar fashion... this time consisting of 4 buttons...

This has also all been produced as a single movie clip file...

All i want to do is to activate the portfolio menu to come down once portfolio is clicked above...

example can be found here...

enter the flash site to see what i mean...

Thanks for all your help...

I'm not entirely sure how you have things arranged or where your problem is, so this might not be the area you're having trouble. In the second menu MC, make sure to have a stop script on a frame before the fade in starts. Put this MC into the MC for the first menu. When the portfolio button is hovered over or clicked, play the second menu.

Ooh, interesting, ill have to try it out and get back...

I was told another way of doing it the other day which i have not yet tried, which is to have the new menu on a complete new page, and load that...
