Hi,

I got another flash template. This is really sucking now after 10 hours on my other template to learn how to add a link to it.

This template I deleted a few menu options... i only have 5 now.

The first button link works. The other four do not. I started over three times. I now have links on the first three. Only the "Home" one works.

( i don't have the domain up yet.) But it opens the browser to nothing. But only the first link works. Where are the other two i added in there? Must be lost in flash 8 space again as usual.

Here is the source: http://www.gibsongk55.com/52.zip


If anyone can help i appreciate it.

Thanks,

Gibs

Well no replies after many views. I finally figured it out. Pretty stupid this flash 8 program. I finally found where i can view > preview mode > outlines

After going there I see wherever i add a button .. then try to add the action... which is very stupid itself and tricky sometimes to click on the bullseye because it reverts to the text behind it. Finding in the outline view whenever i create the button, add the action and finally setting the hit area, the button area moves upward into the logo area. Brilliant flaws.. thank you macromedia.

With all due respect, the flaws are with the templates that you're using and the template makers.

In general, you don't need to do all that if the ActionScript is written with any thought behind it.
