I created a button and created a dropdown menu movieclip for the button, so when u click the button the "menu movieclip" appears with another hidden button to make a back ground appear on the screen.

Everything is cool but when the background clip loads..I can't get the "menu movieclip" from the button to appear again.

Look at my site:
Once you reach the site. Click the "aboutus" button and a menu will appear. Click on the "history" button and a background will appear. BUT!! when you try to repeat the same process by clicking the "aboutus" button..it doesn't work.

Someone please help..i'm trying to get the same effects as the buttons that you see at
 
could you post the .fla file so we can have a look at it. Its probably pretty simple..... Nick Price

"Beginner Button"

1>> the button on your site didn't even work, for me anyway.

2>> stick all of your backgrounds in a movie-clip, one in each frame, leave the first frame blank with a stop action. Drag a copy of the movie-clip onto the main stage and give it an instance name (stick it in the lowest layer). On your buttons, your actions should read:

on (release) {
_root.yourmc.gotoAndStop(number);
}

where 'yourmc' is the instance name of your mc and 'number' is the number of the frame within your mc containing the relvant background.

Howard Marks,
Please tell me how I can post my ".fla" file on the board for you to take a look at?


davdesign,
I will try it your way and see if it works

Thanks.
 
You can't post your .fla on this forum. You can post a link to it, the same way you posted the link to your html.
Obviously, you have to upload your .fla to your server so we can have access to it, that is download it and have a look at it. Some if not most of us would even prefer that this .fla be zipped (compressed - usually smaller in size).

;-)

Sheeeeeeeeeesh ;-)(has Carl introduced a standard Tek-tips response, maybe we should approach the Staff for an associated emoticon ;-) )
