Actionscript Inside Movie Symbol

Question

I'm making a flash menu that is a movie symbol. There are sub
menus in this movie that are involved in motion tweening so I made
them movies as well. The animation all works greats but the sub
menus actionscript don't. Does anybody have any information that
will help me? I'm pretty new at this....

Answer 1

Ok...is there anyway you can post the code you wrote?
Otherwise I'm guessing but I'm assuming you have the main menu clip
called something like mcMainMenu (make sure your instance is named
on your stage)
Inside of it you have the sub menus which "each?" is a
movieclip as well? i.e. submenu1, submenu2, submenu3? So that when
you click on either of them it will call the url event....right?
Make sure each of those instances have a name as well (on the
property inspector make sure it doesn't say <InstanceName> if
it does...then that's probably the issue.
If you go to the main timeline of your movie you probably
want to eventually take the code you have assigned to each of the
individual clips and just create a new layer called "actions" and
put something like the following:
mcMainMenu.onRollover = function() {
mcMainMenu.gotoAndPlay("...");
mcMainMenu.subMenu1.onRelease = function() {
getURL("...");
mcMainMenu.subMenu2.onRelease = function() {
getURL("...");
mcMainMenu.subMenu3.onRelease = function() {
getURL("...");
...obviously substituting the correct URL and goto
frame/scene accordingly. But you see there's a hierarchy that is
being followed so that flash knows exactly what item you want to
assign an event to. Hope this helps a bit. If not...zip up your
code and put it somewhere so we can take a look.
