Great file, Chuckanucka!
I was just wondering, is there an easy way to make one of the links “selected” so that it’s not active? I’d rather create several Flash menus instead of using a frameset…

Hi mcconnico,
there is an active state.. but i gues you mean one that remains after a html page is reloaded. There is a way to do this with cookies, but you would need to be quite advanced with actionscript.

Yeah, basically I’d like to use the menu in a PHP site (with no frames), but want the “active” link to be visible when you click on it. Since it takes you to a new page, I figure the best way to achieve this would be to create a unique Flash menu for each section (with the active item static & unlinked).
Is there a better method of doing this? Seems like a common problem for those using the menu within html-based pages…

Managed to put in 11 horizontal links at 800px wide with a font size of 12pt. For some reason, at random, a couple of the links last letter is half missing (Like half an S or E). I tried different sizes and less links but it made no difference. Any ideas? Apart from that it is a fantastic file, well commented and easy to modify. Comes highly recommended.

Hi mcconnico,

Hey Chuck, Sorry to ask which is probably a totally stupid question but i can’t figure out for the life of me how to get the links to actually work. I’m by no means a programmer or actionscript expert. I just assumed if i added the links where they were specified in the xml file it would work.
Can you please explain to me how to get these things to work.
You can see a what i’m trying to accomplish at www.prophotomusic.com/cwp/
Thanks for your help.

Hi coastalfog,
At line 108 on the layer AS on frame 2 add this:
getURL(this.link, "_blank");
This is in the help file and code.
thanks, Chuck

I have added the getURL link but it only changes the menu as a whole as one link not different links. Can you give me any suggestions on how to make each menu item open in different links. The above code just sets all menu items and not individual items. example: Home (goes to home.html), News (goes to news.html) thanks

I have tried the getURL(this.link, “_blank”
; code but there is only one place for this and applies to all buttons, not individual buttons. I am just adding to my question above to let you know I did see this previous suggestion.
thanks
