I think the best way to explain to you is to show you.
if you click http://www.Nokia-Cables.com ignor the main movie in the centre, the problem I have is with the side bar with the phone in.
you will see I am trying to use a movie as the index bar in the left hand frame, the mouse over works fine, what I want to do is be able to use the buttons and links, I thought this was going to be as easy as setting the action or instances,
The actions will not allow me to add a [geturl] to any buttons so all I get is a nice looking side bar type movie thing that is totaly usless.
Any help as to how to try and fix this would make me very happy.

hmm
Hmmm i mi not sure if i understand what you're trying to do Im guessing you want to open a different movie on the right side every time you click a button? If that's the case, i have an idea, but i never tried it.
First off you'll need the html page to have frames. You'll load the phone in the left sie and the movies willbe loaded on the other side.
i think this should work: When you click on a button you call a Javascript function (that you've already written in the html page). Than the javascript function will activate and that'll open another movie on the other side. If you need help with Javascriping here are some links. www.javascriptsource.com,www.easyjavascript.com.
This is how i'd do it but there are probably other ways too.
hope that helps,

Thanks but ...
What I want to do is use the movie ( phone ) in the side as the menu and as I click on the buttons I can load the corresponding html pages in the main html frame.
I know there is probably and easier way of doing what I have done (as I move over the buttons the page details showing on the Phone screen), but it's was all I could think of at the time to get the effect I wanted.
All I need the movie for is to link to HTML pages.
Any Ideas what I could do, or am I going along a very long and impossible way of doing what should be a simple thing if I didn't use flash
Thanks again

Is this what your trying to do?

If so, I'd be glad to explain.
-
Yes exactly !!!
thats exactly what I want with only 1 diferance,
I need the screen in the top of my phone to change the way it is at the moment to show where they are going to end up.
Thanks for being able to understand my somewhat confused question.

I found two tutorials that should help explain.
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...17/index.shtml
and
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...20/more2.shtml
If these don't help, then post again and I'll try to break it down

Still no luck
The problem is When I select Modify>instance the contents of the Instance tab is greyed out so I cannot select any thing,the behaviour tab has everything I need in it but it will not allow me to select anything.
I dont know if there is somthing wrong with the buttons,that is causing the above problems, or I am trying to change the instances while I am in the wrong place in the movie.
-
Can you post the link to the file your trying to modify? I'll take a look at it and see what the catch is.
-
Link
I can email the file to you, as I dont have the FLA on a site anywhere
-
That will be fine.

How do I do it ???
this is what I have tried
I select the button I am trying to assign the action to and then edit.
I right click and select Action.
If I select any of the actions groups ( basic actions,Actions, Operaters, ect) I am unable to select any of the items in these groups.
The only tab that lets me change anything is the sound tab.
Which means it's impossible for me to enter the code you gave me !!
This is the problem I have

Many Thanks Kansas Wrangler
Many Thanks Kansas Wrangler.
The buttons are working OK now.
All I have got to do now is make the pages open in the main frame now and not the same one as the movie.
Thanks again for your help.
-
no problem pat,
If you'll read the mini-tutorial I sent ya it has a part on that in it. The same section as putting in your page that it is supposed to open.
-
Thanks Again
I got it sorted now
Many thanks
