Hello all - bit of a newbie question.
I have an overall menu that I would like to appear across a site (all
4 pages of it) - the menu has 4 buttons with the standard 4 states
per button. I have a work-around if necessary, but I thought it best
to use the button state to provide feedback to the user about what
page they're on - so the page 1 button will appear in its green state
(roll-over) when the user is on that page, otherwise it will appear
red; the page two button will appear in its green state when the user
is on that page ... and so on ... using the same Flash menu bar
across the site. (making code updates way easier and saving on
download time)
I've been snooping through AS trying to find out how to capture the
HTML page name, so that the button state can be set appropriately -
and it seems it's best to simply pass it in as a parameter from
Dreamweaver, and then write a handler on the Flash page to capture
the Parameter passed in (perhaps onClipEvent(initialize) ?) and then
have the page set the button state accordingly.
I imagine this sort of this happens fairly frequently, but I'm not
having the best luck finding example code - which leads me to suspect
I may be thinking of the problem wrong, or it may not happen quite as
frequently as I thought.
So - is there any example code? Or is there a much better way of
doing this?
Thanks in Advance
Charlie
