Two questions about popup menus

[rebeccam]

#1. I have designed a popup menu that expands and colapses but it does not navigate. I want it the call on another scene rather than a url. What code should I be using.

#2. As well the pop up menu expands each time I open the swf file. What am I doing wrong?

#3. Ok one more. Does anyone know of a tutorial for floating text boxes?

#1. You'll probably need to use labels for navigation, rather than scenes (scenes aren't recognised on buttons which aren't directly on the main timeline). So, put a label in the frame you want to go to for each button, then put this code on the button:

on(release){
 _root.gotoAndPlay("myLabel");
}

#2. Try putting these actions on your movieClip:

onClipEvent(load){
 stop()
}

#3.

I got the navigation working. But the menus still expands when the file is opened. I put the new code where the stop()
was in the movie clip (on its own layer). Nothing has changed. Should I put the new code somewhere else?
Thank you

Put this code ON your movieClip (select the movieClip, open the ACTIONS panel, paste the actions in):

onClipEvent(load){
 stop()
}

If it still doesn't work properly, can you post the FLA on your website and put the address up here? I can download it and have a look for you ...
