Hi Soulwire,

thank you for the download! I’ve been through all the comments but can’t figure out how to load root framelabel from the menu buttons.

here is my edited code. Will you help me please?

MovieClip.prototype.activeBtn = function ()
{
activeNavBtn.inactiveBtn ();
activeNavBtn = this;

this.btn.scaleTo (170,0.5);
// Extra script
this.gotoAndStop(‘activeFrame’);
if (this = planets.push(“venus”)) {
this._root.gotoAndStop(“venusweb”);
} else if (this = planets.push(“mars”)) {
this._root.gotoAndStop(“marsweb”);
} else if (this = planets.push(“earth”)) {
this._root.gotoAndStop(“earthweb”);
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(‘activeFrame’);
}
// End extra script
this.enabled = false;
};

MovieClip.prototype.inactiveBtn = function ()
{
this.btn.scaleTo (100,0.5);
// Extra script
this.gotoAndStop(‘inActiveFrame’);
// End extra script
};

Thanks for the navigation. It’s showing from left side of the stage. If I want to show it from right side of the stage how can i show it? I was trying to do it. But I couldn’t figure it out. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Soulwire!!
Great job and great nickname!!
I’m using your menu, but i would have that every planet loads an external movie clip in my page.
I wonder if you could help me in this experiment!?
In the meanwhile i go ahead by my proofs.

Regards

Hi Giulio,

So, in your btn MovieClip (in the library), add some frames on the timeline and make the frame labels the same as your name Array (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars… etc)

Then, replace the circNavBtn function with this one:

MovieClip.prototype.circNavBtn = function (id:Number, par:MovieClip, name:String)
{
	this.pos = this.id = id;
	this.par = par;
	this.btn.txt.text = name.toUpperCase ();

	// Stop on a frame with the same name
	this.btn.gotoAndStop(name);

	this._rotation = 90;
	this._alpha = 0;

	this.onPress = function ()
	{
		this.par.circNavRot (this.pos);
		this.activeBtn ();
	};
};

You can see, it’s going to tell the btn MovieClip to go to the frame with the label that is the same as the text that would normally appear in the button.
