MaskMenu

[Flep]

Hi

ok

Open Main.as

- import:

import flash.net.*;

- add a new array:

private var links_array:Array;

- populate the array with your links:

links_array=new Array('http://www.flepstudio.org/','http://www.flepstudio.org/','http://www.flepstudio.org/','http://www.flepstudio.org/','http://www.flepstudio.org/','http://www.flepstudio.org/');

- doSomething function becomes as following:

private function doSomething(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
	var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(links_array[id]);
	navigateToURL(request,'_self');
}

Hi Flep,
I tried to follow the codes above for the mask menu but I don't know what to put where...I am very new to flash. Help! I wasn't sure where to put import, add new array, etc... I am not sure if it can get any simpler but if you can please.

cheers

Whew! After playing with it some more I figured out how to add links to the pictures...but one more questions? In order to add more links what should I do? I can't wait until my essential actionscript 3.0 gets here per your recommendation.

Thanks for all the help

I got a question. I want to use this menu in my website but how can I link every button to a different part in a whole flash website. Can anyone tell me what the code is to load the different parts of the site??

[flowmatic007]

Yes, this was a challenge for me too but I found out how. Open Main.as then on line 32: add the appropiate link to the website url(address) where you would like the user to go to. The corresponding menu items are on the above line (line 31) above it:

For example:
31:menu_array=new Array(menu_mc.item1_mc,menu_mc.item2_mc, and so on.
32:links_array=new Array('http://yourwebsiteurl.com', 'http://yourweburl.com, . . . and so on

mc_menu.item1=home (or whatever you have it labeled)
mc_menu.item2=services(or whatever you have it labeled) These correspond to the libray items in the fla file.

Hope this helps.

Wow this is a very complicated menu, I dont quite understand how it´s work.

May you explain to me flep, how do you make the connection with the main.as file and the fla file, I dont see any action script or a something like that.
