Menu Navigation

[SuperHue]

I am trying to modify a navigation menu from the tutorials section. I'm using Flash MX but the script is in Flash5.
It goes in and out based on the mouse movement. And i can't get the buttons to link to anything? i just want it to go to a different frame in the scnene, and it won't do anything.
i go to where button has the on rollover and on rollout and between them i put,

on (release){
gotoandplay (5);
}

but nothing happens.
help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Hey SuperHue

Dont put the actions on the rollout and rollover parts inside the button. Here is what you need to do:

Click on the button and open your actions panel. Make sure its the actions for that button and not the frame. In there you will want to put this code:


on (release){
gotoandplay (); <<<When you release the mouse button.
}

If you want it to go to a frame when you rollover or rollout, you will use this code:

on (rollover){
gotoandplay (); <<<When you rollover button
}

on (rollout){
gotoandplay (); <<<When you rolloff the button
}

Remember, when you want to code the button, you put the code on the button itself, not inside the button.

If I may add, you should use frame label to target your goto...

Select frame 5 and go in the property window and create a name for this frame.

So you would use

on ...
gotoAndPlay("famelabename");

Don't forget the ""

I'm told this make much more stable code.
