dynamic button problem >>>?<<<

[aer design]

hi. would love your help >

problem:
i am using a slider action script which moves a movie clip in relation to the position of the mouse and scrolls through repeating itself.

the targeted movie clip holds a button within it, of which i want to use to link the viewer to a different page in my wwwsite.

the button changes when rolled over, however it does not change the location of the main movie when clicked.

think the solution may be to direct the the site to the _root. or maybe it just cant be done?

i have attached a test .fla which i have been attempting to solve the problem with so you may see what i am talking about.

would appreciate what ever help you can offer.


beers and cheers!

by the way the version i am using is MX

[oldnewbie]

MX2004? Or on Mac? Can't open your .fla? Should be saved as MX only, and/or zipped up if you're on Mac.

thanks for your reply.

it was saved as MX only (2002) and we're also mac based. attached is a version5. hope this works for everyone.

PC users cannot open Mac Flash .flas if they're not zipped up. It works the other way around, but not from Mac to PC.

thanks.

sometimes the compatibility issues really get to me. it's time we all shared to love!

attached now for my pc friends is a .zip file.

Yep! You have to add _root to your button's code... And make sure you have it on both buttons symbols within your Symbol 6 clip, and not just on one of them...

code:

---

on (release) {

	_root.gotoAndStop(2);

}

---

Oh! And I'd use a frame_label, rather than a frame number!
