Hi All:
I spent 10 hours with ASTDG and got my animated menus to work.
Each menu button does it's thing with an OnClipEvent handler...for example:
//attached to button on main Timeline
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (mainTimeline.b3Pressed == true) {
if (subTab != 3) {
//then move it to pos 0
this.gotoAndStop(8);
if (this._x>10) {
this._x -= 2;
}
if (this._x<=10) {
getURL("http://" + navPath + "/theNextPage.asp", _self);
}
}
}
if (mainTimeline.b0Pressed || mainTimeline.b1Pressed ||
mainTimeline.b2Pressed == true) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
this._alpha = 50;
}
}
I'd like to post the rest of my code because I know it's not properly
constructed, but almost everything works on a demo basis, except for one
thing:
At the end of the buttons moving around, I need to refresh to a new page
(depending on which button was clicked). I have the getURL function embedded
in the OnClipEvent, but this doesn't work...because there's only one frame
in the main TimeLine, when I test this in the browser (IE 6) the page gets
caught in an endless loop and the getURL never fires (or rather, it fires
repeatedly but too quickly for the getURL action to actually occur).
What can I do to "stop everything" once the button has finished it's
transition, and then fire the getURL?
TIA, Andrew
