adding navigation to flash buttons

Expand Post »

hello,

i have created a flash menu to go on to a website that i am building but i have come to a point were i cannot find the actionscript i ned to get the buttons to go to the pages that i want.

the problem is that i need the buttons to navigate around my site and i have only been able to find the code which will take the user to a new web site. does anyone know what the script is to get the buttons to move around the pages within the site. or can anyone pot a link of a tutorial which will explain how to do this.

my search will go on so if i get the answer i need before anyone posts i will put the address where i found it up here.

Re: adding navigation to flash buttons

i have got it to navigate to the new pages from the home page but it keeps opening the new page in a new tab the code i have used looks like this

Graphics and Multimedia Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
on (release){
getURL("construction/index.htm", "self");
 
}
on (release){
getURL("construction/index.htm", "self");

}

where i have put self should this not open the page in the same window/tab.

if not anyone know what should be put in so it opens in the same window.

i have now changed the self part so it is _self and it has made the button stop working. they are not taking you to any page now just staying on the page it was on to start with.

Re: adding navigation to flash buttons

the solution to the problem that i was facing is as follows:

if you want the links from the buttons to open in the same window then the code to use looks like this:-

Graphics and Multimedia Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
on (release){
getURL("../construction/index.htm");
}
on (release){
getURL("../construction/index.htm");
}

the file being linked to is written the same as it would be in html code and to get the link to open in a new window then the code is:-

Graphics and Multimedia Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
on (release){
getURL("../construction/index.htm" "blank");
}
on (release){
getURL("../construction/index.htm" "blank");
}
