Navigation

director clips only work as simple animations, they have no interactive
functionality.

You can stretch the button set over the entire rage of the score to get
persistant appearane.

buttons and actions and place it in every scene/master MC. That enables
you to edit one MC rather than X number of MC's in all scenes.

Have you tried a linked Director movie cast member? Make the movie the
size of the navigation bar and import it into the other movies as a linked
cast member. Simple navigation scripts on its sprites should be retained.
If you are doing buttons that advance to markers or frames you may have to
change this:

go next

to this:

tell the stage
go next
end tell

so they reference the stage instead of the LDN itself (linked director movie)

I have a stage split into two sections.
1. screen for feedback.
2. smaller version of feedback screen used a touch pad.

Q. How do I translate the cusor location inside the touch pad to the screen and therefore show a cursor sprite moving around the feedback screen?

I want to add new pages to my website but how do I get
these pages to only link to a certain page and not show
on all the link bars but just the pages I want them too.

[kashou88]

How do I create a menu bar and when someone go over the button the button
animates and the content shows up with a box and it opens up with the words?
Also when I create the menu bar I want when someone go over the button of the
menu bar I want some description in text show up in a different place of the
stage? Finally, I want to create a intro and I want to create a skip intro and
welcome button how do I link that to the home Page of the flash website

Thank

[RobbieSoule]

Wow! That's a lot of different topics in one post. To answer your button
questions, a good place to start would be to open Flash and go to HELP >
LESSONS and then take the "Creating Buttons" lesson.

As for the SKIP INTRO button: In your Flash intro movie create a button and
add the following code to it:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.myhomepage.com");
}

But of course, change the URL to the correct page for your site.

Greetings,
I am interested in creating the type of naviation used for the macromedia home
page (header nav)
I assume the rollover starts a movie clip, but then what?
I am looking for tech notes or a tutorial that might explain the "basic
mechanics" of how this works.
thanks again for any help.

Create 2 new layers in fla

layer1 - this will contain your "main nav"
frame 1 has your nav buttons. Each will have action script "on" them. This
is accomplished by clicking on the botton, then opening your actions pane(F9).
the action you need is on(rollover)-> gotoAndPlay(#)
This is obvioyusly not exact code. You need to go to the frame # where your
sub-nav buttons for the associated main-nav button are visible. That is what
layer 2 is for

layer2 - this layer contains your sub-nav buttons. Create a keyframe on a
frame (say 10) and create the sub nav buttosn for a section. Place them where
you want and put actions on as needed. Repeat this for each section of your
main nav. remember you need a new keyframe for each sub-nav section, both to
insert the right buttons and to make any previous buttons disapear. GOOD LUCK

[jeffhtx01]

I followed the instructions and this seems to work ok... however, once I direct the mouse to the "sub -nav" I lose the "highlighted" state of my primary navigation.
any thoughts?

How can I insert something at the bottom of each page so that you can click
to go"back" to the last page viewed and one to go to "top of the current
page"

Is there any way I can do this once for all pages?

Thanks.

if you look at the bottom of page
[url]http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub2002/pub2002_7.htm[/url] you'll see a back to top
link which you would do by following the directions on that very page.
also on the bottom is a back link, but it is a link to the page that it was
linked from. since that page is the only one that has a link for the article
I know where to send them back to. you do that by just linking to the
desired page. if you don't know where they are coming from there is nothing
you can do, that's what the browser's back button is for.

copy/paste.

Thanks for the information. The last thing I'm trying to do is add links to
one page which will take you to another page(s). I don't want these new
pages to show up in the navigation bar, and to only be accessible by
clicking from the one page I designate.

I think I got it by inserting a "link" button, but when I try it in preview
it points to the file on my hd. How do I make it point to the page I want?
What is the syntax and how do I attach it to an object like the link button,
or maybe just an image?

Thanks

[David Bartosik - MS MVP]

to not include it on the nav bar just uncheck the box that asks if you want
to add it to the nav bar.
see the article on my site about using the nav bar.

you can hyperlink a graphic (like a button) or text, doesn't matter.

in preview the files are on your pc so the urls will appear as such.
unless you are referring to non-pub page files.
in which case such 'external' files need to be uploaded by you.

Ive made some progress on my Vertical Navigation!!

[url]http://www.geocities.com/traveladvisorlee/000.html[/url]

How do i remove all the white that its surrounding Destination. and also when
u click destination and it shows the List, how can i have these as the same
blue as that side of the Page? and how do u make the gaps in between smaller?
When you hover over the Links,they turn red, i want them to be more noticeable.

Is it easy to make the List actually open when you either Hover over
Destination, and the list return to normal once uve made your selection or move
the mouse away from the List?
I dont want it so that if I have 3 or 4 Main menus each with their own
sub-menus, how a user to be able to click and expand each of them the page will
look terrible

Is there a way for the Links to open up in the Centre of my Site?

To see my progress, here is my previous version
