Ok here is how I would make a quick link menu:
1) Drop in the "Menu" smart clip
Window > Common Libraries > Smart Clips > Menu
Note: name the Instance of the clip "menu"
2) Right click on it and choose:
Panels > Clip Parameters
3) A window will open that looks like this:
Code:
Name | Value
---------|-----------
items | (Array[])
style | Auto
4) Double click on "(Array[])". Now another window pops up. This is where we input the menus items.
Code:
Sample Data:
Yahoo
Disney
Cnet
Flashkit
...
5) Click "Ok"
6) Now make a button next to the right of the pull down. Make a label like "Go"
7) Next we need to right an action script that will look to see which item is selected and then go to the right URL.
Code:
on (release) {
if ( menu.currentValue eq "Yahoo" ) {
menuLink = "http://www.yahoo.com";
} else if ( menu.currentValue eq "Disney" ) {
menuLink = "http://www.disney.com";
} else if ( menu.currentValue eq "Cnet" ) {
menuLink = "http://www.cnet.com";
} else if ( menu.currentValue eq "Flashkit" ) {
menuLink = "http://www.flashkit.com";
}
getURL (menuLink);
}
7) That is it.
