    Action help!

    Ok, so I am not sure this is the best section for my question, but I hope I can gain some help anyway.

    I am trying to make a website with flash. I would like for when you click on my button it changes pictures, and when you click off/onto another button, it goes back to the original link. Also I would like for the button to click to the write section in my content. This is my first time making anything like this and I need help. I don't know what I am doing wrong. T_T Here is the action script I have for that:

    menu = ["about" , "portfolio" , "blog" , "contact" , "quilt"];
    var current = menu[0];
    for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
    var b = menu[i];
    this[b+"-btn"].selected._visible = false;
    this[b+"-btn"].txt = b;
    this[b+"-btn"].onPress = function() {
    _root.site[current+"-btn].selected._visible = false;
    _root.site[this.txt+"-btn"].selected._visible = true;
    current = this.txt;
    _root.site.content.gotoAndStop(this.txt)
    };
    }

    As I said I am very new at this so I could be totally wrong with what I have.


    Also! I would like a loading screen for my website here is the action script I have for that:
    onClipEvent (load) {
    total-_root.getBytesTotal();
    }
    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
    current = int(loaded/total*100);
    p = ""+current+"%";
    if (loaded ==total) {
    _root.gotoAndStop(2);
    }
    }



    These are the only two scripts I have for the site :-/
    I tried to follow this tutorial but incorporating it to my own design. Have I failed completely or do I have some hope?

    If you need more information to help me please let me know I will even zip everything for the flash up and put it up some where you could access it.

    Well, first of all, you don't have to put variables everywhere. For example, indead of if(loaded == total) you could use if(_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()). Also, you might want to make a stop(); somewhere to make sure it doesn't go to frame 2 anyway. The total-_root... seems incorrect...are you meaning total = _root.getBytesTotal();? Other then that the loader seems fine, assuming your dynamic text boxes, etc, are set up correctly. I don't really know anything about making websites it flash though.
