Helped me, but didnt solve the problem
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi I purchased a template from Template Monster (http://www.templatemonste
If you view the link that I posted (www.templatemonster.com/f
In the .fla file; if you double click on either of these boxes that slide down; it opens up a movie clip with a series of key frames that are separate movie clips. Each key frame with the movie clip in it is a page (For example in the .fla file if you double click where the News & Events text is; the first key frame is the News & Events page, the next key frame is the Our Director page, then the next key frame is Available Services page etc; so it keeps all the pages that display in the left box in this movie clip)
As it already may seem confusing; I have attached a few images hopefully explaining to you what I mean (I am unable to send the .fla file as it goes against their terms of use). In the attached images; Column 1 refers to the left grey sliding drop down box; where Column 2 refers to the right grey sliding drop down box.
In the 3rd attached image (p3.png), you can see I have made a new page for Column 1 Left. It has 4 buttons (Request a quote, guarantee, Cisco Unified Communications for Small Businesses & Hybrid Conversion Systems) that I want when someone clicks on either of the buttons; Column 2 right slides up and drops back down to reveal one of the new pages that I have made.
The template is a Dynamic Flash template; so all the text is originally set to dynamic instead of static (Although I have changed most of the text to static as I find it easier to use) and uses a .html file to load all the text into the .swf file. I have attached the original .html file as well as the images.
In terms of coding; the buttons that I didnt create use a similar code of:
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>2) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>2) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
}
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>2 and _root.flag == 1) {
_parent["item"+_root.link]
_root.link = 2;
_root.flag = 0;
_root.pgap.play();
}
}
I know that s1 and s2 refers to making the button animate when the moue rolls over it (refer to the attached p4.png file to see what I mean) as the person who created the template uses movie clips to animate the buttons.
Sorry if this seems confusing; the video tutorial that I looked at on the Template Monster website is:

Also please note that in the images, sometimes in the properties box it says i'm using the Flash 6 player with Action Script 1 and in others i'm using Flash 8 player with Action Script 2; this is just because I was originally using AS1, but switched to AS2.
Thanks

first things first...
change all of your code to either AS 1 style or AS 2 style... this will make everything consistant and easier to work with and debug...
when this has been done, come back and let us know.
secondly, what exacly is the issue? what part of the code is not working for you?
