Navigation help

[Hishimoto]

I am new in flash and I like to create navigation like this site http://www.northshoremag.ca/ . I can do roll over and roll out. But I can’t figure out how to make the color stay when you click on any button and also take you to that navigational information.

Would you be kind enough to help me? Please

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

If statements and variables is one method....

myFocus = 0;
myColor = function() {
if(myFocus==1){
myButton1ColorMC.gotoAndPlay('On");
myButton2ColorMC.gotoAndPlay('Off');
}else if (myFocus==2){
myButton1ColorMC.gotoAndPlay('Off");
myButton2ColorMC.gotoAndPlay('On');
}
}
_root.myButton.onRelease = function() {
myFocus = 1;
myColor();
}

Hope it helps

Thanks dude for your quick replay. I am new in flash and still learning so I didn’t get the code. Is there any easy way out? I did roll over and roll out. You can see that here. If you have any easy way please let me know and thanks a lot again for quick replay.

Peace.

Hi,

The problem you are having is because your rollOver code overrides your on (press) code, nullifying it. The way you have it organized, the easiest solution is to use another movieclip to act as a highlight and turn the visibility of that highlight clip on with your press action. Have a look at this demo. I adjusted the first two links...

Hi,

Use the movieclip method of gotoAndPlay. It differs from the global gotoAndPlay(gotoAndPlay("Scene2",1)), in that is only takes one arguement, frame number, or frame label. This will also solve the mystery of buttons not working in movieclips........

This will send the main timeline to a frame label.....

_root.gotoAndPlay('frameLabel');

This will send the timeline of a movieclip to a frame label.....

_root.mcName.gotoAndPlay('frameLabel');

Hope it helps
