menubar component

[MJB3K]

Hi, i have a problem with the menubar component and wondering if you could help.

i have this code on the timeline:

myMenuBar.addMenu("HOME");
myMenuBar.addMenu("ABOUT");
myMenuBar.addMenu("TEAM SHEET");
myMenuBar.addMenu("RESULTS");
myMenuBar.addMenu("FORUM");
myMenuBar.addMenu("SCREENSHOTS");
myMenuBar.addMenu("SERVER IP");

How can i make it so when you click on each of those buttons, it goes to a url?

any ideas??


Regards,

Martin

I don't think you can. It is menu "items" that trigger events. What you might be able to do is group your categories and then you would be fine.

Example:

fileMenu = myMenubar.addMenu("File");
communityMenu = myMenubar.addMenu("Community");

fileMenu.addMenuItem({label:"Home",instanceName:"home"});
fileMenu.addMenuItem({label:"About",instanceName:"about");

communityMenu.addMenuItem({label:"Team Sheet",instanceName:"team"});
communityMenu.addMenuItem({label:"Forum",instanceName:"forum"});

listener = new Object();
listener.change = function(evt){
    var itemSelected = evt.menuItem.attributes.instanceName;
    switch (itemSelected){
        case "home":
            gotoAndPlay(1);
        break;
        case "about":
            gotoAndPlay("about");
        break;
        case "forums":
            getURL("myURL.htm");
        break;
    }
}
myMenubar.addEventListener("change",listener);

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
