Hi Flep.. i like that typical interactive button you made in this Tutorial, actually i really like when i click the button and the Button i click is telling that you are in this section(cos' the color is changing from other button). how can i made a button interactive like that, if i have my own class button. can you give the solution ? down here is my Button Class...
Thanks Dude..


package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;

public class CustomButton extends MovieClip {
public function CustomButton() {

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollover);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollout);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, setDown);
}
public function setLabel(labelString:String):void {
this.tLabel.text = labelString;
}
private function rollover(e:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay("rollover");
}
private function rollout(e:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay("rollout");
}
private function setDown(e:MouseEvent):void{
this.gotoAndPlay("setdown");
}
}
}

Hey, how do I make it so those menu buttons also trigger an animation sequence?

Hy there, nice tutorial!

i tried to implement your code within another navigation (so would like to use your navigation as a submenu). I wrote the following:

/*
-------------MAIN Navi ------------------*/

var rewind:Boolean;

menu_mc.hitArea = menu_mc.hit;
menu_mc.buttonMode = true;


menu_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ef);
menu_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, roll_over);
menu_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, roll_out);

function ef(event:Event):void {
    if(rewind) menu_mc.prevFrame();
}

function roll_over(event:MouseEvent):void {
    rewind = false;
    menu_mc.play();
}

function roll_out(event:MouseEvent):void {
    rewind = true;
}

As i want to use your code i have to assign the Class.as file to my movieclip as a basic class, but i get the following error code:

Error #1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event.
(for line:function ef(event:Event):void)

Do you know where the error comes from? I don´t get it...

Hi madman,

you forgot to import

import flash.events.Event;

into your Class.as

[Flep]

Sample

package
{
    import flash.events.Event;
    public class MadMan extends MovieClip
    {
        public function MadMan()
        {

        }
    {
}

Ah, ok, i will try that.

Another thing:

how can i prevent in your code, the first section showing up as the file is loaded?
i want section1 showing up after pressing menu1_mc, instead of automaticly showing up?

[madmad]

Ok, i got it.

All i did was creating an empty menu1_mc and section1_mc, so that my visible
menu1_mc is 2nd in the array!

works!
