V-Menu 2

Hi all,

To change V-Menu-2 to link to a movieclip rather than a URL do this…

Step 1. Around line 188 of the actionscript in V-Menu2.fla comment out the getURL line, and add loadMovie(link[this.no], _root.myMovieClip); (rename myMovieClip for whatever name you use for the movieclip instance name that will be your SWF loader, see example below).

In the example below I have created a movieclip on the main timeline and named it ‘myBox’ (I used the same name for the instance name in the Properties panel).

//getURL(link[this.no], linktarget[this.no]);
loadMovie(link[this.no], _root.myBox);

Step 2. In the XML file links.xml amend the code as follows…

In the example above the external SWF will load into the movie clip called myBox.

Sorry, XML did not copy… here it is again… Hi all,

Hi I would like to add the menu on the main timeline of my flash movie and once the menu button is clicked, it goes to a certain frame. How do I code this into the existing action script? (and not do like the above and load the swf into a mc)

I figured it out… it was too easy I missed it.

change getURL(link[this.no], linktarget[this.no]); to _root.gotoAndPlay(link[this.no]);

in XML file change “link” to the frame number and remove link_target=”“

i know someone else has asked this but I didnt see an answer. How do i get this into the html page i created in DREAMWEAVER ? i have read the read the read me file but i dont understand how to get the swf file into the DW doc. This is the first web page i have ever made so im not sure if im even going about putting the menu into the doc the right way. i tried to just drag the swf file into my html through DW but it doesnt start the menu, please help.

Hi, Great menu. I actually bought it twice by mistake : )

But do you by any chance know what I need to do to make it interact with the time line in a AS3 swf after loading it in to the before mentioned AS3 swf?

Thanks, B

I need help getting this to work on my wordpress home page. It uses a template system and I have the swf in the same dir as the xml file, but it doesn’t show up. I’ve used flash before with embed code successfully. is there object or embed code that will work with this file?

xml must be in same dir as swf placeholder (html, php page). Solution is to change xml path in .fla from relative to apsolute (example: www.example.com/menu.xml ) and then export swf…

thanks

html to ‘select’ menu button what you want … but unfortunately this is only possible up to 9, can you help me?

Thank you

so.addVariable ( "menuSelected", "10"); ?

miroir : all buttons can’t fit in flash (height)?

Is there a limit? Or can I do more than, for example 20 links?
