Simple Drop Down Menu buttons not working

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a button in a hoover over drop down menu to link to another scene in the .swf movie. I just doing a basic drop down menu (example here: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Interactivity/Navigation/Drop_dow-Phlook-951/index.php) with a couple of buttons with in a movie clip, the movie clip being the "button" someone hoovers over. The buttons however are not going to the corrisponding scene I have them set up to. What's strange is that if I set in the buttons action panel to go to an url instead of a scene, in the .swf movie the button works when I click it...it wants to go the specificed url. Nothing happens when it's set to go to a scene. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Ned. The code I'm using on the buttons is the same method I'm using for the regular buttons (i.e. not with in a movie clip).
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene X", 1);
I like and appreciate the idea on keeping it with in the same timeline, but that didn't work either. This is all very strange, because as I said, the buttons that are not with in a movie clip work with that method in their action panel. And the buttons with in the movie clip work out to an url, just not a scene or frame number.
I'm using CS4, but I'm not sure which 'Publish' settings I should have it at, and on 'Profile' it's set to 'Flash CS3 Settings (it's either that or 'Flash 5 Settings').

Drop down menu buttons not working

hello anyone..
i have buttons on a drop down menu that wont do anything. The
only thing the works so far is the on roll over stage. I am trying
to make the button navigate to a certain frame on the same scene.
The buttons are from my button1_mc.... and the first is affars_btn.
I labeled the instances accordingly and placed the script on the
first frame of the scene (2) which is where the menu and main info
is on. Scene 1 is just the preloader.
button1_mc.affars_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("2", 51);
}

MY MSN Stocks Drop Down Menu does not work

Exactly what I said. Drop down menu on My.MSN homepage does not work.

Pat,
Your menus look fine on my system, too. It is possible that your user is working on a system with javascript turned off, either on her own computer or, if she is in a company, turned off by the network administrator. Ask her how she is viewing your website...laptop, desktop, smartphone, tablet, etc., to help you pinpoint what your solution will be.
     If her javascript is turned off (not to be turned on...), one strategy around this is to create pages linked to your top level menu items. On those pages, you can make text links (not dropdowns) to the menu items that show on the drop-downs. This could be paired with the next idea, as a sort of belt-and-suspenders solution.
    A less obtrusive way: Add a secondary, substitute text menu that only appears when javascript is turned off by using <noscript> </noscript> tags around the secondary menus.
     Be wary of solutions that require you to tell different users different things.

Places drop-down menu bar not working

I recently imported my iPhoto library to Aperture. All my geotags are intact as far as I can tell. All seems to be working well with the exception of the drop-down menu bar at the top of Places. It tells me the number of countries, states/provinces, cities, and places, but when I click on any of them, no drop-down happens. The only thing that works is clicking on the home button. Any advice??

Thanks for posting this. This was driving me nuts.
If you haven't already, could you please file a bug report? The more of us who complain, the more likely they are to fix this.
Thanks!

# Open Up Settings in Actual Window Manager
# Select: Window Settings Tab
# Add New Window Rule
# In the "Target Window" Settings for this rule select Firefox as the "Program"
# Go to the "Start-up" Settings beside "Target Window" Settings
# In the "Options" area check the box "Block premature appearance of window"
# Check the box "COMPATIBILITY MODE"
STEP #7 SOLVES THE PROBLEM
Profit!

Cs4 vertical drop down menu button malfunctioning

I need some help please. My vertical drop down menu buttons have started to get small when you hover over them. They have been working great for over a year and now have started to do this. I don't know how to help the situation. gobhi.org
thanks!

That's because you have set the font-size to 18% on hover & focus. Change it to 100%.
/* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have a blue background and white text */
ul.MenuBarVertical a:hover, ul.MenuBarVertical a:focus
    color: #FFF;
    font-size: 18%;
    font-size:100%;

Pull down menu does not work.

Hi.
I'm using Firefox 24.0 under LinuxMint 14.
Sometimes, pull down menu does not work correctly.
When I tap File or Edi or View, Menu blinks instantly.
To resolve, I restart Firefox.
I disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available".

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

Navigation Drop Down Menu Does Not Appear Correctly with Internet Explorer.

Website was designed with Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac. The navigation drop down menu does not appear correctly with Internet Explorer. When you mouse over a navigation option that has a drop-down menu, the drop-down portion appears on top of the first level. Hope someone can help me out.Thanks!

Hi,
and you should then iron out this minor inaccuracy, which I found in your source code, for example here:
<div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="hays.html">HAYS</a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
          <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
        </ul>
All your "first" entries have to show a '#", like this:
      <div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">HAYS</a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
          <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
after that you can link to the individual subgroups. See here e.g. (screenshots from my German DW):
