[F8] Can't figure out GetURL function with current menu layout.

[Skyphoxx]

Hey Guys,

Attached is the FLA of a menu structure the designer before me left, for a client that is just now finishing thier site.

Long story short, the client loves the way it works (like when you roll over a person, the others fade away etc.)

My problem is I cannot seem to get the people to get a URL when clicked. Ive been told that you can use fake buttons within a movie clip, but have had no luck.

Also I noticed in the original script, that the person wrote a function for rolling over and rolling out of each movie clip. Would it be easier to write a function for clicking or pressing the movie clip? If so how would I do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Like I said here's the fla,

maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I get an error when I try to test it. You could write a function for the getURL, it there already a function pertaining to a mouseClick; I didn't notice one? If you are only going to get the url when you click then I wouldn't do a function. As long as there is no previous onRelease running then you could use this.

w7_mc6.onRelease = function(){//w7_mc6 pertains to one mc, his looked something like that, you have to do this with each mc if you plan to have it link to a different url
getURL("http://www.myURL.html", "_self");
}

this goes on the main timeline. put this on the last frame containing actionscript, it just has a stop in it. Do this for each clip. If you want it to go to the same url for everyone then only write it one and replace the mc name with "this" minus the quotation marks.

Could you do me a favor and put that code in the fla and send it to me? I'm trying it and no dice

Your fla doesn't work for me but I made a blank one with just a movie clip and the code needed for the link. It works.
