FLASH NAV BAR HELP

ConnectionFX · 10 May 2009 at 19:17

ok, im creating a flash animated navigation bar.

see sample: http://www.connectionfx.com/flash/navigation.swf

i have the rollover effect sorted and the down status to play the sound...

but im having a problem getting the button to go to the desired URL

ive tried many diffrent action script combinations to get the onclick go to URL but it never works.

here is the flash timelines to help explain.

I have 7 button on the nav bar. each button is on its own layer with its own animated tween. The button layers are labled 1 - 7 background

i converted the tween symbol to a button and applied the desired "UP" "OVER" "DOWN" "HIT" animations.

here is the down state with the sound applied

but where do i put the code and what code do i use to get it to go to a URL on click?

Any help would be great.

(BTW this is a learning project)

current selection can not have actions applied to it.

then when i try to apply the action on the timeline under "1 background" which is button 1

is it because its a tween it will only allow the action on 1frame. but if i do that it dont work anyway.

damn this is annoying
